THE HOMESTEAD Hill.

The passage through the House of the Free
Home stead BILL BY the decisive majority OF 10 to
&c. leads us TO hope that the Senate will yet be
brought 10 vote directly, and We trust favoraby,
upon il. Why should the Senate hold back
Twice ere this had the House voted that every
landess American citizen should henceforth be au-
thorized and invited freely to choose patch of the
Public Domain from which 70 hew out for himself
and his family home. Now, for the third time, Is
the Judgment reiterated, AMI with redoubled en-
phssis. Win not the Senate at length heed it
In the House, barely three votes from the Slave
States were given for this bene6cent measure. In
the Senate, Andrew johnson Of Tennessee has long
been one of its most Jealous advocates. Albert g..
Brown of Mississippi while a member Of the
House. spoke most effectively In its favor. San
Houston of Texas is its fas: friend. Martin w.
Bates of Delaware has hitherto supported 1t.
suppose that only three of these four now vote for
il, we think it cannot be beaten Al sl events, we
entreat that it be pressed to vote.
The usual preis KITS for delay cannot be made to
seem plausible in regard 10 this question II has
been discussed before the People and In Congress
for years. The Senate has repeatedly debated II.
No Committee could shed fre,b light upon 1t. Con-
script Fathers spare US your eloquence aud give
US the Yeas and Nays
Yet We sludder when we think Of the enormous
magnitude of the private interests certain to be
srIsyed sganstit. Beside the peculiar" interest,
which has for years been silently marshsling its
votaries into q stubborn phalanx in opposition,
there is the great Railroad Lsnd-Grant interest,
which supposes it would be sadly damaged by the
triumph Of this measure. We do not believe this

DOCTORS AGREEING.

There is an end Of all things, and in accordance
with tits wholesome law Of nature, We have
reached, at length, the end Of the WhItney case
The doctors have done with it, as they do with 50
much else of their work carefully and decorously
covered il up, and made all smooth and handsome
over the place where it lies. NOBODY wa, to
blame; nobody, indeed, was killed; only man
died "of a complication of disease" upon which
the public press had l." reelected" BY various
statements. Heaven be praised for good Pc
goat! The public press had never mentioned the
matter till weeks after the story was ringing in
every drawing room from Rleecker street to
Bloomingdale, and every counting room from Canal
street to Castle Garden; till old ladies Of both sexes
turned pale with alright at tae sight Of doctor;
and till half the town bele7ed that DIR. Green was
in the habit Of killing patient weekly by tbrusting
a boomerang or something Ike it, into their
trschea. The press, indeed II is good thing
for the doctors themselves, We beg leave to tell
them, that the press has TO their aid, aud put
an ED to 9 scandal which was doing more harm 70
medical science than they could have alone RENE
died for years.
But now the whole thing is over let US look ABOUT
US. and see where We are aid where We have been.
There was, in the first place, the story that Mr..
Whitney was dying OF hole in his wndpipe. The
gentlemen who at least accepted this state
ment from Mr.. Whitney himself, and permitted 1t
to 90 out on their authority corrected it only a
month sfterward BY their own pos. norton exami-
nation. Then comes the second story Of the lesion
of the phhrynx, which DIR. Beses r-iterstes was
caused b. DR.. Green's prOOang, but which DIR.
Mott, On second occasion Of pabhcly thinking
Of the subject, ia very careful not TO assert. But
this point, also, we take it, may now be considered
! a. f.irly settled. The Academy says, With grea'

calculation wise or sourd one. Immediately, We
doubt not. the sale Of Railroad lands would be
checked BY the success Of this bill; ultimately,
We think if would Tot be; while the movement OF
population from the Old States westward to take
advantage Of the prefer Of Free Lands, and the
more compact settlement Of the New States, would
more tbsn mske good the frst loss to the embryo
Railroads As 70 those already built, there can be
10 serious doubt that tier interest comedies with
that Of the lsDdless millions.
The Bounty Land Warrant interest cannot so
easily be reconciled We admit thai Land War
rants will be slower Of sale and command a lower
mice should the Free Homestead bill become
A law. So the millions on millions Of acres already
purchased with these Warrants, and still held on
speculation, would probably eel lower or eel more
slowly because of this bill But, gentlemen specu-
lators! you have had long day and merry
one For some ten years, you have been locating
ands at cost Of dollar per acre and selling
hem at from FIVE dollars up TO twenty, and eyen
choice locations, to fifty. Your sun has shone
and you have made your hay; now stand back and
give the settlers chance 1t is high time.
And il were childish to suppose atlands slresdy
located are 10 be Invested Of value BY the Free
Homestead bill. Every hundred thousand added
TO the population Of the new Territories will in
crease the essential value of all the arabic soil this
side of them. Every lot in our City, every farm
near our CITY, Will have its value enhanced, through
the inevitable augmentation of our City trade, BY
an increase Of farms and clesrings In the West.
Every great Railroad looking westward Will be
benefited both in its passenger and freight bust
Dess. He who imaginss that existing farms are to
be deserted, or to sink TO nomios value, because
there will be wild lands N the West to be had for
the asking does sadly misapprehend the bearing OF
this noble act. We shall not be able, through ITS
influence, 10 even drain our great cities of their
surplus scores Of thousands; but some will go,
and leave more room and better chances for
those who remain. If one hundred thousand
more pioneers per annum shall be induced by thiS
act to rear cabins on the Public Domain, every in
terest every section, will feel benefcent impulse
Our Revenue from Customs will De steadily aug
mented, even without al increase OF duties; the
bal.nce Of trade Will he inclined toward US, be-
cause our proportion of producers will be increased
and our aggregate Of products augmented The

and elevation of industrious poverty. 1t will be

rapidly to a close. What is done at all must be
done quickly. Give the People the Free Home

THE INDIANA CASE.

IL used TO be supposed that under the COnstitu.
ton of the United States the power Of electing
Federal Senator's was vested in the States, to be
exercised by their respective Legislatures. Not to
rely On the apparently plain letter of the Constitu
ton itself such, if We mistake not, has been the
Interpretation put upon it by the whole body OF
LAWYERS and commentators. Such, too has been
the idea Of the great body of the people; but
their opinions, perhaps upon such question-os,
indeed, upon any question just now-may not be
thought at Washington entitled to much notice
This Interpretation is now discovered to be great
mistake. Those in authority at Washington have
changed al that just as, within the last ten years.
they have made quite 4 number OF other changes,
not less surprising than that Of Moleres doctor,
Who to suit bis own practice, made tho heart
and lungs change places. According to the
latest exposition, as set forth In Dir. Bayards
report to the Senate on the Indiana case, not only
have the State Legislatures no power or authority
10 elect United States Senator's, bu. it is q con-
tempt upon that extraordinary body for them to
attempt TO do so. Mr. Bayard has discovered that
the power Of electing United States Senators is
not vested in the State Legislatures; and indeed it
is easy to see how exceedingly irconvenient such an
arrangement might prove. For the last few years,
the operation of thi, Illegal and cohtemptuou' prac-
tice has been attended with alarming results. One
after another the party friends of Mr.. Bayard have
been routed out The minority, from being mere
handful who could be treated with insoent neglect,
are now getting to be quite numerous and there il
every reason to fear that, if this pra;tice were
allowed to go on Mr.. Bayar and his friends might
shortly And themselves in the minority result
| which, in their opinion. the Federal Constitution
never could have contemplated. Since the repeal
of the Missouri Compromise and the bred Scott
decision despe rate politicians, like Mr.. Bayard and
bis friends, are not likely to stick at anything.

ard, and which, doubtless the majority of the
