Thurman's Speech.

We publish elsewhere THURMAN's $
speech on the railroad land grants
This speech is characterized by all that
cleafness and force for which Senator
THURMAN has become so eminently dis
tinguished,
- It is hardly. necessary to state that the
speech did not defeat the iniquity which
it combats SO powerfully. If an angel
from Heaven were to announce to the
Senate that these land grants were a
great wrong, the vote would stand just
as it does now--the Democrats against
1t, and the Radicals in its favor.
Senator THURMAN cannot by applying
arguments to their intcllects overcome
the influence of lobbyists applying bonds
and stocks to their purses ;but one thing
THuRMAx can do, and has done effectu-
ally: He can rouse the people to a real
King sense of the wrong that is practiced
upon them, and make it very uncom-
Portable for the land grabbing Senators
when they return to their outraged con
stitucnts.

Significant.


1t turns out that the Democratic ma
jority in the State of New York is con
siderably over eighty thousand. This is
indeed gratifying ;bat the most agreeable
feature of it is, that the increased Demo
cratic vote is iu the rural districts among
the farmers.
1t shows that the farmers have not only
learned what their interests are, but
have the courage to maintain them.
With like result in the other agricul-
tural States farming, in few years, will
be able to do something more than barely
to pay its taxes.

Keeping Their rracRs Covered.

A resolution was, asst we,k, Introduced
in the Housc,the object of which was to
ascertain who were ownefs Of and inter-
estcd in tho franchise of the Northern
Pacific Railroad. This road has receiv-
ed from Congress grant of land larger
in extent than the State Of Ohio; and il
was believed that many Of the Congress
men who voted away this immense ter
ritory were themselves participants in
the piundcr.
The resolution was rejected by vote
Of 81 against 81. s E
The fact of the rejection of this rcso.
luton strongly confirms the suspicion
that Congressman, under the pretense of
fostering railroad enterprises, are en-
gagged in actually parceling out the pub
lic lands among themselves
There is rule of the House which
forbids a member from voting for a
measure in which he has direct per-
sonal interest; but so long as mcmaers
can keep concealed the fact of their hay
ing such interest they lnayyete for these
measures without any other reproach
than that of their own consciences. If,
howeyer,an investigation should disclose
their interests tlle-rule mightbc enforced,
their votes cut off, and thus the measure
BE- lost This fully accounts forthc rcjec-
ton of the resolution.
We believe 1t is perfectly safe to say
that if the right to vote were. denied to
all who are disqualified by the rule, not a
single one of the land grabbing schemes
could pass the House. As it is, investi-
CATION is suppressed, and members are
.-nting untold wealth into their private
purses. ss's'

Why will not Senators reflect for a

a remark made to me by General Cass,
after his return from France, that such
a thing as the idea Of being able to &C
quire piece of land, of becoming the
owner of it in fee simple, never entered
into the Imagination of French peas
ant who was landless. The thing struck
me with amazement, when in this coun-
try everybody expects to become the
owner of estate THERE'S not the poor
est boy that runs barefooted in the street
but expects some day or other to own
his little homestead or tenement in a
town or city. But what is the condition
of country where there never rises in
to the heart of the poor man the idea
that he ever can become the owner
of foot of the soil that God gave
for his sustenance?
And let us not say that is the result of
institutions different from ours. 1t is
the result of an oyerteeming population !;
