ing down the diversity of our industry and con-
filming us to agriculture, had made these times
hard and the tendency toward the enslave-
ment of labor almost irresistible. The same
superficial class attribute the triumph of Ger
many to the genius of Bismarck and the supe-
riority of the needle guns. But both Bismarck
and the needle gun are the creatures and con-
sequences of the growth of Germany in mate
rial resources, individual freedom, and intellec-
tual power. And these latter causes had their
origin and rise in the Zolverein or Customs
Union, which first applied the principle of pro-
lection to German industry.

Notwithstanding the pacific declarations which
the Governments of France and Prussia are
now so prone to exchange, the mutual distrust
continues undiminished and exhibits itself on
many occasions. Thus the French MoRiter de
rArmGe, an official paper, calls attention to the
fact that the three Prussian army corps
nearest to France are those which are most
numerous and best organized. The German
papers, on the other hand, discover equally
alarming movements and arrangements in
France. This dstrust must continue until
the two great rivals arrive at a complete under
standing on the German question.

A correspondent sends us the advertisement
of Gift Lottery concern, cut from a Tenncs-
see newspaper, in which appears sentence Of
commentator purportng to be copied from
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE of Feb. s, 1868, and
asks our advice about it. Readers of our paper
hardly need to be told that we denOunce all
such schemes as swindles No such words as
those quoted ever appeared in THE TRIBUNE
and we published no Weekly on the sth Of
February that not being our regular day Of
issue. The sentence is an infamous forgery.
We beg our friends to beware of recommended
tons of lotteries, Quack medicines. and all sorts
of cheating contrivances, which pretend to
come from this Office. They are all lies. We
never indorse such things; we do not even
advertise them.

From the above statement of The World Il
would seem that its course in support of Mr.

his name, deceived his friends, and thrown
distrust in its own ranks "to prevent the Re.

leading Democratic journal in this State
frankly confesses that his course toward Mr.

Mr.. Alfred Lee, cOlOred resident of George
town, ID. c., died the other day, leaving to his
family fortune of three hundred thousand
dollars, which he had amassed in the Hour
business. There is custom in polite society
that when one becomes the certain owner of
hundred thousand dollars, his letters shall come
directed to sO-andsO, Esquire. Alfred Lee was
three Esquires rolled into one When one be-
comes worth 100000 there is no earthly reason
why his friends should not style HIM hOnora-
"blen Mr.. Lee of Georgetown was the Hon.
Alfred Lee, with some cash to spare not repre-
scented in his title. Stephen Girard once com
planned that the United States prevented the col
lection of debts by not providing coin to repre-
sent one-quarter of a cent, so that, when Cd. was
rendered to pay one cent, and five cents were
given in change, the odd quarter of cent still
remained unliquidated. Our masters of cere-
monies have invented no title which does
even Justice to the late Hon. Alfred Lees
assets, without leaving net surplus
of one hundred thousand dollars. We are not
informed in what family of Lees the Hon,
Alfred Lee traced his pedigree. But as Gen.
Robert Z. Lee is usually classed as descended
from one of the second or minor Lee families,
it is quite probable that the Hon. Alfred repre-
scented the first or major line of this dstn-
gulshed family. Whether the success of Robert
f.. in the flour business had he tried it, would
have equaled that of Alfred, may be doubted,
for one of the greatest difficulties the former
had TO contend with as chieftain of the Rebel
instruction was his inability in the meat and
flour line The Hon. Alfred seems not only to
have made a constantly adequate provision for
the wants of those dependent on him, but to
have accumulated large fortune and an hon
orable name by the sale of the surplus. On
the whole, the career of the Hon. Alfred seems
to have been far more serviceable to his cOun-
try than that of the other branch Of the family.

SWLNDLLNG IND GENTS.

The intrinsic injustice of the pretented treaty
for the transfer of the Usage Lands to the
Lawrence and Galveston Railroad Company,
has been recognized by the House of Repre-
sentatives in resolution introduced by Mr..
Clarke of Kansas. which declares that the
terms of the treaty care not within treaty
"making power" and therefore this House
"does hereby solemnly condemn the same,
"and does also earnestly but respectfully ex-
"press the hope and expectation that the Sem
cate will not ratify the said pretended treaty"
We trust that not only will the Senate refuse
To ratify the Usage treaty but that the same
fate awaits the equally vicious job by which the
Cherokee lands, whereOn from fifty to seventy
five thousand settlers have actually built their
humble homes in good faith, expecting to
to get title from the Government under the
Homestead laws, instead of being Ousted by
spectators, have been turned over to So
called Emigrant Company. Although these two
grants contain special elements of fraud and
corruption and should first be set aside,
Congress should not be slow to adopt
some general policy which will end
the great abuse OF legislative grants
to railroad and other companies. The just adj
vantages of the Homestead laws are lost to the
people by these grants, and immense portions
of the public domain are locked up in the
hands of distant spectators and wealthy pO-
nopolistS, all waiting until immigration and
settlement shall greatly raise the value OF their
lands before they will sell.
The ostensible object of these grants is to
promote and expedite the building of railroads.
But in many cases so many extensions
of time are given to companies which
fail to comply with the terms on which the
grant has been made, and so many additional
grants and advantages must follow the first,
and meanwhile without the aid of the road,
emigration and settlement make such progress
by unassistcd and unbounted mule, OK, and
horse transportation, that the road is not built
at all in consequence of the grant by Congress,
nor any sooner than it would pay pr-
vate capital and enterprise TO build it..
From all parts of the far Western
States comes the cry of the settlers against
the creation of these odious and oppressive
monOpolies i'm the soil. They in many instances,
severely embarmss and retard the prosperity of
a country fol years after their benefits, if any
ever existed, have disappeared. Every emigrant
company formed to establish such monopoly
deserves its name only in the sense that it
is company formed to swindle emf
grants and rctard emigration, and every
Railroad Company which applies for such a
grant should be strongly scrutinized TO see
whether its design is not to monopolize the
public domain before settlers can get access to
il, and hold it out of the market until sufii-
cient number of settlers have forced their way
into the country to give satisfactory appear
ance that it will pay TO run railroad among
them, and meanwhile to prevent private capital
from building the road till the monopolists are
ready To do So.

Mr. CONFESS in the Senate yesterday offered
a resolution discharging the Foreign Relations
Committee from the consideration of the bill
giving protection to Americans abroad, but
Mr. Sumner Directing to its consideration,
it went over until to-day. The bill adj
hitting Colorado was then taken up and
debated until the morning hour expired,
after which the Legislative Appropriation
bill was considered and several amendments
were made motion to postpone until to-day
was carried, and then the Presidents objections
to the Arkansas bill were considered. The bill
was passed notwithstanding his veto-Yeas 30
Nays Ia party vote. Senators Henderson
and Fowler did not vote. In the House, a
resolution instructing the Committee on Ways
and Means to report a bill providing for the
funding of the pHblc debt and the
reduction of the rate of interest thereon,
in manner consistent with good faith
to creditors and justice to the people, was
passed; also a resolution of Mr.. Price. instruct

lion dollars of the coin now in the Treasury
toward canceling the public Indebtedness, and
to provide law which will prohibit any new
indebtedness being incurred by the United
States until the coin reserve in the Treasury
is reduced to twenty-five million dollars.
The vote rejecting the report of the
Conference Committee on the bill removing the
political disabilities of persons lately engaged
in rebellion was reconsidered, and tho report
