PUTNAMs MAGAZINE does not hurry along
50 absurdly early as some of its compsers, but
1T is certainly not a whit behind them in mer-
it. The number for May is particularly good
one. Its opening article, Thomas Carlyle as
Practical Guide" by Professor Goodwin
Smith, is by far the most striking paper which
has appeared in any of the May monthlies.
The Philosopher of Chelsea is very severely,
though not unfairly handled by his vigorous
eountryman. The course pursued by the au-
thor of Sartor Resartus in sustaining-in COM
pauy with the whole aristocracy of England
the cowardly atrocities of Governor Eyre
is denounced with the severity it deserves. In
addition we have instalments of the two seri-
ais, and contributions by George Wakeman
Rev. W. r. Alger, Mrs. j. g. Austin and 9TH
ers. The miscellaneous departments are full
and excellent.

IRELAND is not Dy any means paeified by
tAe disestabishment measures of Mr.. Glad
stone. Fenianism is not now active in the
island, but agrarianism 10 active and fatal.
Tbs iniquitous monopoly of land by English
proprietors is, after all, the great obstacle to
the establishment of harmony between En-
gland and Ireland. The peasantry seem to be
well organized, and are shooting proprietors,
landlords and agents with great industry and
success Their secrets are SO well kept that
but few of the homicides can be punished, suf-
hcsnt evidence to convict being wanting.
Even the visit of Prince Arthur, whose name
is also Patrick, has but little effect in remoy-
ing the unquiet feeling. The Irish receive the
Queens son with stold apathy though he en-
deavors to conciliate them by wearing green
scarf

Senator Hoyve's Speech.

We have read with pleasure Senator
HowE's able and exhaustive speech or
the payment of the claims of loyal men
in tho South for property used or des.
troyed during the war. We have moi
space for review of this mastery argu.
ment, but cordially endorse the follow
ing from the WATERFOWL Republican
The simple question at issue was
shall the Government, having taken for
its own use the property of loyal per-
sons 10 territory which, having been in
the possession of the rebels, was ut the
timo Of taking the property in our per-
manent possession, pay for the same
Howe showed that by every considera-
ton of precedent. law. justice and hon
or we were bound to render compensa-
ton in such cases. The reasouableness
of this conclusion it seems to us is un
questionable. Tho object of the war
was to ''repossess" the territory and pro-
perty of the nation from the insurgents
who had seized them. From the baltic
of Fort Donelson 10 the final surrender,
the boundary line Of the Rebellion was
steadily forced back, As soon as our
territory was "repossesscd," the suprem-
acy Of the government was re establish
ed and, under the protection of its flag,
loyal persons could again claim their
rights of person and property. This
r ght of protection was as perfect within
FIVE miles of the line, rs within five hun
dred, and the government was rs much
bound to pay for the property of loyal
persons taken for its use in re occupied
Alabama rs in Minnesota. 1t was the
misfortune. not the fault of these per-
sons that an armed insurrection bad sur
rounded them and cut them off from the
protection of their government. Hav-
inr been robbed BY their enemies the
opponents of the bill would now add
bitterness to their misfortunes by allow
ing them to be plundered by their friends
1t is, "a monstrous and infamous doctrine,
and would make our army a band OF
lawIess .rcebooters and land pirates. and
worst of all, piIlagers of their own loyal
friends. 1t is objected that the payment
of these claims would impoverish the
Treasury. Senator Howe shows the
fmsiness Of tho assertion and says that
the total amount of these claims would
not exceed 100000. The war debt
Las made the nation poor it is true, int
it is becsuse we are poor that we can
not afford TO refuse payment. To refuse
is 10 be guilty of ra..k repudiatiun. By
paying we shall be far richer in our pre-
served honor, than the few dollars other
wise saved to the Treasury conld posi-
bly, make us.

vacillating.

If there is any one thing that make.
us unworthy of confidence, either rs in
dividuals or rs community, it Is oul
unsettled policy in many of our public
enterprises. We are always on
some speculation, and trying this or that
experiment. This is seen in nearly all
our public movements, and moro partic'
ularIy 10 our balls of legislation. There
was time in this state when there was
much to be done, and, of course much
was done in hurry AMI i'll done, while
some things were left undone. But, re-
ally, what is accomplished by two or
three months legislation annually? But
very little, that we can discover, for good.
The work of legislation is already done
to reple:ion, and it would be blessing
TO the community il the legislature could
not meet again for tho next five years.
One half their work is overdone, and
done over, and done brown, ard it re-
mains to be determined whether the work
already done can be preserved in a tol
erabIy satisfactory condition until we
have time to ascertain what are its mer-
its and what its demerits-what is worth
preserving and what needs amending.
A law of any importance is scarcely in
existence before an attempt is made to
repeal it. II not repealed, it must be
patched up with amendments until it Is
next to impossible to recognize it.
Instances almost innumcrable might
be cited where particular law was well
understood in all its practical bearings,
and where it was well enough, in which
the legislature have attempted to amend
for the better, and literally made /" con
fusion worse confounded." The law con
corning chattel mortgages was well
enough in itself, and was well enough
any way, and well understood by every
body. But :" well enough" could not
be let alone, SO m attempt was made
one year ago TO patch it, and ever since
that time it has been in very" precari-
Gus condition." Some rules Of law are
said TO be rs ." old rs the hills" and it is
to be regretted that we aavc NOT more
such.
Biennial sessions of our legislature
would reduce our expenses and have a
tendency to keep our laws in a more COM
pact form. Aud, if they could stand
without alteration or amendment till the
ink was dry with which they are print
ed, they might come to be understood.

The title was A bill t. provide pen
