requires no Intermediates like KOop-

mands no Investment OF capital. This
old way OF development is by free
labor. Freemen will go at their own
expense, where slaves must be carried
at the expense of others. Freemen will
build schools, churches, towns, and
quadrup1e the value Of lands, where
'coolie" slaves will only make q costly
wilderness. Free labor brings civiliza-
tion, with all its peaceful arts, Its va
rled industries, Its Intelligence, all
which combine to make free govern-
ment possible. "Coolie" labor, which
Ia slave labor, will bring only more

The Republican party at the South
has been placed in q false position by
the action of unwise leaders: who, in

Somebody who feels interested in the
great waste Of the public lands, and Gu.

laws OF California, of Congress, and OF
the Interior Department the transac-
and made the facts discovered public.
From all of which we learn that this
company was incorporated in 1865 un-

mia, to build road from the bay of
San Francisco, through certain coun-
ties, to the State line; thence to con-
meet with a projected road: to the Mis-.

the matter again, last year, before the

reconsidered his action, and ordered
the restoration Of the lands to market;
but the order was suspended for time,
at the instance OF General ERosecrans,
at least in respect to lands southeast OF
San Jose. The company now demand
the settlers persisten tlyt oppose them.
The papers and Ereportsssu omitted by
the company's agents themselves shoW
that the railroad is really mereEland
speculation; the capital paid in is nomi.

slowly, without thorough surveys, and
only as bonds are sold. It Is said that
the company mean to give up their
franchise to any one who will build
their road, and retain the lands as their
own spoiIs. It Is quite time that rail-
road grants of public lands were stop
ped. The practiceis corrupting to those
who give and those who redeive.
Doubtless most of the grants made have
been as needless as the one thus ex-
posed; and like this. have brought no
compensation to the country for the
lands thrown away. 1T Is netitoo late

Meeting OF the st. Louis Board of
.,. Trade.
Or Tow. T-1-oN

20 81. LOUIS, July II.
At a meeting of the Board of Trade
last night, the subject OF running pro-
pellers between st. Louis ana New
ro, Texas and Mexican ports, was pref
ty thoroughly discussed. Capt. Bishop,
OF fPhiladelphia, made a report on the
subject OF light draft steamers, draw
ing largely from his experience on
board ocean steamers in the MISSISSIPPI
pi river during the war. He showed
that the tendency Is in favor OF light
draft vessels for ocean service; that theY
are more seRWorthY, weather oetIeFS
and can be used with equal facility In
rivers. He instanced the success which
had attended the sending of sound an1
other light draft steamers from New
York to China and other far distant
ports. He was decidedly In favor OF
building light draft propeller for car
rylnR grain from here to New York or
Liverpool.
Capt. Jos. J. Brown, also urged the
building of such q vessel, and gave the
dimensions therefor. He believed the
beat way to deepsn the bar at the
mouth ofthe Mississippi, was to build
could cross it at all times; he was satis-
fed such vessels would prove eminent
ly successful on the stream either for
short or long voyages.
The President OF the Board was In
structed to appoint q committee to raise,
subscriptions for the building of a suit
able vessel to carry out this project.
Richard Johnson, OF this city, one of
the recently appointed Chinese Con-
suls, will leave here to morrow for
China, via Pacific r. r.
The corps OF engineers for the pre-
Iiminary survey OF the proposed Quin-
cy, Missouri and Pacific Railroad left
Quincy yesterday for Brownsville, Me-
braska. to commence work on the west
end. The high water prevents work at
this end at present.
a party of Wisconsin State officers,
including Congressman and number
Of leading merchants, arrived at Oma-
ha yesterday and leave to-day on a
pleasure trip to California.
Robert Bushnell, son OF prominent
lawyer of Quincy, Illinois, was stabbed
and seriously wounded at st. Joseph,
Mo-, night before last.
Marvis Tobin, a wRtchman at jack
sonville, Illinois, was murdered while
on duty Monday night.
