Sales of Public Lands.

From the New York Courier & Enquirer, Apr o.
The President has given notice, through
the Land Department, of the coming sales of
public lands in Wisconsin, Kansas and Ne.
hraska TO take place in July, August and
September Of this year. These lands were
advertised for sale last year, but withdrawn
at the earnest solicitation ofpreemptors, who
could not then pay their claims without great
hardship. But what, with poor crops, lessen
e., credit and speculation toward Pixies Peak.
the ABILITY Of settlers generally to pay for
their farmA is even less now than last year,
and is not likes to- improve much in time
TO avail them before the sales are over. The
power to purchase will therefore be almost
entirely in the hands Of spectators. Any
comment is unnecessary upon this proceed
ing by the administration, so in defiance of
the rights of settlers, so opposite TO the wish
es of all but favored few, and so contrary
to the policy and professions made known
before the administration came into power
Az eNtTavagant administration, and conse-
queAtly bankrupt treasury, are doubtless
the chief causes of this course. But we be-
heve that under any circumstances but that
of necessity these public sales, at so early
date after the first settlement of the Terri
tory, are contrary TO the true policy OF the
country. The settlement of our frontier is
delayed by the oest lana being open TO pub
lie entry. handwriting and deserving
settlers loose by their poverty the earnings
Of two or three years and this loss is per
haps irremediable now that but comparative
ly little Of the best land is LEFT except what
will be open for entry. Here then is an
evidence of the reaction upon the people of
their folly in putting into power short-sieh hit
ed politicians. reduced tariff helps to
bring about commercial crisis icsscucd
customs and an extrayagant administration
deplete the treasury, and the result is felt in
our Tcrrito5ies, by lppds being put into mar
ketfnr pnBftc entry at a time when settlers are
destitute Of means aud credit 20 retain their
meemptiuu.

The sioltlos Farce at Washington

We give some account Of this so-called
trial in our paper this week IT, as is allcg
ed 10y those who pretend TO know, this tria
is nothing but hollow farce, it will be Of
some interest to the public to see how eau
lious is the judge, how guarded the jury, how
earnest the laNyerS-just- US though there
was danger Of Sickles being convicted and
hung whereas if reports from Washington
are correct, he stands in no more danger Of
suffering for this crime than the humblcst
individual who reads this article. -
The trial is fully reported by telegraph
each day, with the minutest particulars, even
to the position in the court room occupied by
the prisoner, counsel, witnesses and friends.
The amour: Of labor done by the telegraph
aud press each dry is truly-wonderful, aver.
aging as much as wouiI make six or seven
columns in The CALIFORNIAN, md all just as
though this was really a trial for q mans life,
when it is nothing but legal form The y.
y. Saturday Press has an article on his trial
which Is worthy of pcrusal and reflection. 1t
is so lengthy that We can only copy part
of il;
Ostensibly the murderer Sicklcs is being
tried for his life. In Pickwickian sense, he
stands in imminent risk Of being hung by the
neck until he is dead.
Out of respect to its dignity, the Court has
to assume this out of respect to TIE Court,
the newspapers have to assume it and out
ofrespeet to the newspapers, the public has
to assume it.
There isn't child in the country who
doesn't know that Daniel L. Sickles is in
no more danger of his life and liberty than
we are.
And be might have murdered his wife as
we'll as her paramour, and have been equally
safe.
This is the simple truth of the matter, and
it might as well be stated
The fact ought TO to be known to every
man Sid woman in tbs-country that in dis
honortd husband, murder is not crime but
n virtue, something for which, instead of be-
ing ha9g, he ought 10 be sainted.
Laws are provided TO suit his case, but
they are to be treated as dead letter.
He murders his foe, and spits in the face
Of justice at the same time, and the whole
world applauds him for IT,
We do not complain of this, but only call
attention TO it that we may all know where
we stand. aud what a mockery law is in
some OF the most serious emergencies of
life
The only person who is really punished in
this whole affair, is Mrs. Sickles. -.
