The Amboy Land Grant.

The bill which passed the House was coz
CURED in by the Senate last week, and it IS
now law. 1t extends the grant seven
years, and requires twenty miles Of the
road TO he ready for the iron by the first Of
next February. We predict that the
company cannot perform the condition, and
that the inal result VIII be, the selling Of
the road to the Jackson, Lansing and sag
nav road, or 10 some other corporation.
In other words, by putting few Thousands
OF collars in the pockets OF 4 dozen men.
TWO or three millions Of acres Of public
lands will be given to a corporation who.
have been willing aud are able to build the
road without a grant. As Albion 5 not
named as point in the bill. will our friends
at Albion, Homer AMI Eaton Rapids. now
confess that they have been sold out. The
whole thing was drive for the parrosa Of
