THE HOMESTEAD Bn.L~--Therc appears to be
prospect that the free farm or Homestead bill,
which has passed the House, may, in some shape
or other, pass the Senate during the present ses-
sion. This is an agrarian measure; but as
choice between the expcdient Of squandcring the
public lands in small doses among actual set
tiers, and the policy of granting them by millions
of acres in single lobby job to railroad specula-
tors, the homeopathic system Is, perhaps, a
measure of reform. But 1t is only half way
measure Of Congressional philanthropy To
render it accessible TO q large proportion Of the
population Of this city, for example, it will be
necessary to open the Sub-Treasury, and let all
our candidates for squatters' rights have the
right also, say to quart measure Of gold coin,

house. His knowledge is all Of the practical,
useful kind, and his inventions for the most part
partake Of the same character.

THE MILITIA LAW NUIsANCg-WHERE DOES
THE MONEY GOETHE manner in which the mih-
tia law has been carried out in this city for many
years is calculated to convert that necessary and
proper portion of our Legislation into mere
farce ; and, indeed, in many respects it has be-
come nuisance. 1t Is essential to the proper
defence of the State and in accordance with the
spirit Of our institutions, that the male popula-
ton of q proper age to serve should contribute
to strengthen the State forces by small contri-
button, merely sufficient to insure an enrol
ment of some kind and it was with this view
partly the militia law Of April II, 1854, was
framed. By the provisions Of this law persons
liable to serve are bound to either appear at
company parade" as it is called, on the 14th of
October In each year, or to pay Communication
tax of seventy-fve cents to the Receiver of
Taxes. Failing to do this the law imposes fine
ofthree dollars the delinquent party, and it is
in the attempt to collect these fines that our citi
Gems are continually subjected to annoyance at
the hands Of the apparently irresponsible parties
calling themselves "c0urt martial" who often
hold their "court" in some filthy den or grog
at night, where few decent people would like to
venture to save double or treble the fine. This
irresponsible and raggamufan "court" summons
persons to appear to defend themselves, and
issues warrants year after year, Unfortunately
toparties who have paid the Communication tax,
or who are not liable to military duty by reason
Of their age, profession or other causes, for which
the law holds them exempt
1t would be interesting to know where
the moneys collected by these courts go
to. The law provides that they shall be paid
to the county treasurer, and the amount
vouched for upon OATH How much of it is 80
paid in, and how much is invested in oyster
suppers to comfort the inner men of the "Court
Martial" is a question which should be answer
ed for the satisfaction of the people. The COM
mutation tax is duly received by the Receiver of
Taxes, and by him handed over for the main.
tenance of the uniformed militia, in accordance
with the provisions Of the law. Last year that
tax, as we learn from the Tax Receiver, amounted
to $1,000. The amount collected for fines and
extorted by the threatening summons aforesaid
is probably more than double that-not one
fourth of which, if any at all, is probably ac-
counted for.
We repeat, the militia law, as now pretended
to be enforced in this city, is great nuisance,
and the Legislature should at once amend it so
as to make it effective for good, and at the same
time protect the citizens from the annoyance and
extortions ola set of harpies who, if report
speaks true, apply all the fines they can lay
hold otto purposes Of gorging and guzzling, and
not to the uses of the State.
