Itwas stated in the course Of a debate in the
British House Of Commons by Col. Herbert that
the whole effective force Of regular troops in
Great Britain and ireland were only $4,000
men, and that it cost S775,oco,0o0 to sustain
them. The announcement created considerable
dismay among the tax payers. But the Lon
don 1im<s showed that the sc. 900 only embraced
the infantry aud excluded the cavalry and ar
tillery, and tue men in depots, and pensioners.
There added, and the whole effective force con-
siderahly exceeds sixty thousand men. The

Bradford reporter. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1844-1884, 1860-12-13

West, yet as asserting the principle that the
people should pay for the Government lands
II is Objectionable. Besides even at this small
sum greater inducements are offered to specu-
lators than would otherwise be the case. We
hold that the Government has no right to re-
quire payment for lands which are equally the
property of all citizens, and which are to be
settled by the poorer classes.
For the benefit of our country at large, it
is expedient that our Territory be settled as
speedily as possible To aid such settlements
it is necessary that emigration to the West
should be encouraged. So far as our Gov
ernment is concerned, it would be much the
gather by donating all the public lands to
actual settlers. The advantage to our whole
country by means of the added wealth that
would accrue from the improvement of our
territorial possessions would be immeasurably
greater than that OF the revenue we now de-
rive from the sale Of the public lands. 1t is
very short sighted policy to demand pay-for
our Territory as q means of revenue.
But even if the bill is not all that we could
wish, still it is long step in the right direc-
tion, and should it pass the Senate which we
see no reason to doubt it will, it will again
come before the President, who, unless anxious
that his name shall go down to history uncon,
nected with single act that entities him to
the respect OF his people, will not dare to
Withhold bis signature.

The SECESSION MONUMENTAL Charleston
if We are to believe the statements which
reach us, q misunderstanding has already
arisen between the Federal authorities and
those Of the city or State. Major ANDERSON,
commanding Fort Moultrie, has been refused
the privilege of sending 10 the Arsenal for
supplies, and his messengers have been sent
back without them, simply because among the
articles desired were some percussion caps.
The G o7ernment it is understood, has been
appealed too to send an additional force, as
Major ANDERSON has at present only sixty
or seventy men, poorlG supplied ; but the Ad-
min:stration. has absolutely refused to do So
In connection with this refusal, vague rumors
prevail that formal notification will soon be
given by South Carolina that she intends to
capture the fort, when the Government will
order it to be evacuated without q contest, to
avoid civil war Of course, it is impossible
to tell how much truth there may be in such
rumors. Secretary COBB, it is asserted, has
already resigned, and will vacate his post
in which case it is believed be will be
followed by the Representatives from South
Carolina and others. There is one thing, how
ever which may serve as a check upon too
hasty action, and that is the character of the
advices from England. The sympathy ex-
pressed there for the Federal Government, on
the reception of the first reports of the Sc
cesson movement, somewhat surprises the
Disunionsts, and they have no hesitation in
saying that it is not what they expected. AS
q measure of financial relief to the Govern
ment, the House Committee of Ways ani
Means, it will be seen, have resolved upon the
issue of Treasury notes.

Bag One thing has happened in the election
of President this year, which should set at rest
alI cavil 1t is, that the States which elect
the President, do so by cLear maj0rityfor the
successful man abors all opposing candidates.
Polk, Taylor, Buchanan. and other Presidents
were elected through divisions of opponents
slipping in by plurality vote of States. Not
80 with Lincoln. He has "a maj of the Eec-
toral votes-in the States of Main New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin.
lows and Minnesota--in each of which he has
an absolute majority Orer all the opposing can
didatss, and probably a plurality in New
jersey, Oregon and California, giving him ii
more Electoral yotes--57 maj. in all.
Another conclusive fact is, that in none of
those Is States were the maiorities small, or
secured by any suspicious oftraud. Polk S cleo
ton, and BurhaHan'S, were marred by proven
allegations of cheating at the ballot-box suffi
cient to render doubtful the fact of their real
election by the People But Liuc2ln's majori
ties are like himse lf-clear, above-board, mag
nifceut, decided, aud undoubted.

TIE HOMESTEAD BILL.

One Of the first acts of our able Repre-
sentativel was 20 cal up the Homestead Bill
which was last session referred to the Commit
tee of the whole, and by moving the previous
question, bringing it before the House, where
it was passed by vote of l32 against 76.
For the passage of this important measure,
the thanks of the people are due to Mr.. Grow,
who has for years made speciality of this
measure of legislation for the benefit of the
laboring people. The bill is said to be some
what modified so as to avoid the Presidents
objections which called forth his veto at the
last session Of Congress. Instead of making
free gift of the land to actual settlers, it in
cludes provision requiring them to pay ten
dollars for hundred and sixty acres
This sum is not SO large as to offer any Sc.
riOua diacalty TO poor emigrants to the far
