LANDS In CoLUsA.-for the last few days, says
the Colusa Sun, the land excitement in this county

the removal of the seat of government from Pres

created considerable dissatisfaction. Part of that

which appear to be an everyday occurrence in the

The Juniata RepuLiicon publishes an
article from an erchaage which, it says, is
a complete reply to eur article Of few
weeks ago, under the caption of Break
ing faith with Soldiers" We do not see
that it has any bearing ON the case what
ever. In that article occurs this para
graph :
The people demand honest, capable,
faithful and patriotic public servants and
they viii support that organizatio,-by
whatever name it may be called-which

This We endorse, every word G! it. Bu.
pray, did the fac;ionists, led by the Juni.
ata RepuGlican, find such superior "capa-
bility," honesty" and "faithfulness" in
Nr. Miller, over Capt. Il. Ii. Wilson as
TO justify their action in the premises -
Or did they find Nlr. Miller who, during
the war, gave his sympathies to the enc
mics Of the Government, more ''patriotio"
than Captain Wilson or s:essrs. SAugert

y FINAL SETTLEMENT OF the Lincoln
estate was made at Springfield, by David
Davis, Administrator. After paying all
the debts there remains Sll0 ,294, or $50
76j each for Mrs Lincoln and her two
sOns. Robert I. Lincoln has received his
share, and also that Of his minor heir,
Thaddeus. The amount DE Mrs. Lin
cola, less about $1,000, already drawn, is
subject TO her order la other words,
Mrs. Lincoln has S32 ,SG5 subject to her
order, and each of her sons has S36. .765
This Is not a fyTtunc, but it is certainly
enough to support widow in modest re-
tirement. All will agree that no neces-
eity compelled Mrs Lincoln to sell her
old clothes, and that no poverty entities
her to either national o. individual iona
tioas.

or Mclntire, more *honest." " 'copable" or
patriotic" than Col Robson, both OF
whom, Wilson and Robson, J served mer
itoriously and faithfully in the Union
army? "Capability," honesty" 'Pa-
riot.sm' indeed. We apprehend this ca
pering arises from personal hostility, and
is adopted as plausible way of venting
their spleen and hiding their aninosity.
The Janiota RpaJiicon thinks it is
terrible that "a third rate Sx10 sheet,
published in McConne!sburg," should
have anything to say in defence of the
soldiers. Really When did TINT sheet
rise to the dignity even Of Bird rate %
and where did 1t receive its authority to
speak tor the Republican party? Is it
because Of its hostility to soldier candi-
dates on the Republican ticket, or did it
bring with it commission when it came
up out Of the filthy cesspool of johnson
isrl, and in one bound sprang forward in 70
the front rank as lst class Republican
journal, and purifier Of Republican pol
tiles! Its antcceden,: are quite too bad
TO en,i;le it to any such distinction, and
it must pass the ordeal of refining before
it can e.ent;tcd even to tne character of
''3rd rate" sheet Clean the johnson
mud out Of your Republican concern and
then it will be better entitled to speak for
Republicans, whether it be lst or 9th rate
Republican.

THE FORTIETU CONGRESS.

The fortIeth Congress reassembIed e.
Washington on Thursday the DIST, ac-
cordng TO adjournment. The House is
now constituted with one hundred and
nine;y-three members, and the Senate
with ffty-four. In the popular branch
the political division is into Ia Republi-
cans and 10 of the Opposition. In the
Senate the Republicans number II to y
Democrats The States not represented
in either branch are Virginia, North Jar
olina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida
Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas
and Arkansas-ten. The rapidity with
which converts are being won to the Con
gressional plau for reconstruction, as in
dicated in the current elections at the
south, on which the readmissiOn of the
rebeliious States hinges, shows that these
States viii not be without representation
long.
By the provisions of the Constitution,
the regular session commences on the first
Monday in December This leaves to the
current session only eight working days.
Ia SO short time very little important
matter can be raised, digested and acted
upon. Nor is it probable that much will
be attempted The finances Of the coun-
Try will unquostiona5ly be taken up, as
every one believes they deserve TO be. \
strong effort Will be made to effect a re-
peal Of TIE taxes on WHISKY and cotton.
The subject Of reconstruction will also be
mooIed. Either of these three is suff-
ciently grave and sufficiently unsettled to
occupy the whole session. Their gravity
is such tina. it vii! be singular if they are
rot altogether thrown over to the next
session 10. further debate and decision.
The importance, we apprehend, OF the
current session Of Congress will consist
not Sc much in what it may do as in the
manifestation Of feeling to be made by it,
and its preparation for that solid work
that will be commenced a week later
This l, in itself great deal. If it pre-
pa:es the way fer immediate and wise ac-
tion on the part of It's successor, it will be
entitled to and receive the thanks of the
who'e country. Should happy unanim-
ity of opinion enable il to settle either
Of the three great questions to which
we have referred, in accordance with
the wishes of the people and the in
terests Of the land, there will be matter
for more rejoicing. But merely TO take
them from their uners rsanized condition
and present them fairly aud squarely fer
the action of the regular session, will re-
lieve that session Of no little difficulty
