BOUNTY LANDS TO OUR SOLDIERS.

It matter of surprise to that the question of
giving bounty lands soldiers in the present has
not seriously been agitated before this both in and out
of Congress- always heretofore been the policy
of government to issue such grants to her voun
eer and regular solders-a fact which to have
been suddenly forgotten the breaking out of the
rebellion True the first idea to conscate all the
lands of rebels in arms and give them to the soldiers
of Union. This has been repeatedly though rather
vaguely announced. 1t has not, and probably never
will any definite shape. 1t would be acting
upon contingency; whereas any law upon such
subject should be based upon palpabe reality Such
policy pursued in ancient times, when nations
struggled for conquest alone. It might do in the
present day. but it is not sufficiently tangible, and by
far too insecure plan for the practical American
mind. There still weightier reasons why differ
ent course should be pursued by government
We have millions of of public lands in the great
West-the place above all others preferable to emil
grants and settlers. We believe that under former
