cussion Of the abstract question as to the merits
of the Homestead bill or bills. They were in
troduced in Congress by the black republicans
with double object in view. First. they ex-
pected to catch the German votes, and those Of
the few persons at the North who believe in the
general principle Of free farms; and, second, so
to reduce the revenue rs to be able to carry out
their tariff schemes. They managed to get the
bill through both houses through the cowardce
Of some Northern members and Senator'S, who
were afraid of losing few votes should they
expose the real character of the measure. The
fact is, that land is SO plenty and cheap that
almost any one, however poor, can obtain a
title to the soil. When we know that in Iowa,
the Queen agricultural State of the West, i'm
proved farms can be bought for ten or fifteen
dollars an acre, the idea Of law compelling
the government to give wild land to every one
who asks for it is absurd. If the politicians
will let the public lands alone the country will
be much better off,

THE CASE OF JACOB s. HARDEN, THE WIFE
PorsoNER--Yesterday we published q tele-
graphic despatch from Trenton, N. j., stating
that information had been received there that
Jacob S. Harden, the Methodist minister recently
convicted of wife poisoning at Belvidere, had
made full confession, and that his execution
had been postponed to the 9th of July next.
This information Is further confirmed by des-
patches from Belviderc, which state that the
pastor Of the Methodist church there announced
from his pulpit on Friday evening, that Harden
had confessed his guilt and desired the prayers
of the church. The action Of the Court Of Par
dons In refusing TO commute his punishment to
Imprisonment is thus justified by the pri-
soner himself and that stern New Jer-
sey justice, which is the dread of all evil
doors, is again indicated. Harden has been
engaged for some time in debating this
confession TO a brother minister. and yet his
friends in the Methodist persuasion have been
using every effort to secure for him, FIRST new
trial; then, when that attempt failed, pardon;
and, finally, communication of his punishment
If il were known how many criminals were par
doncd or escaped the sentence Of the law by
