HOW UNCLE SAM IS BLEED.

The subscriptions for the benefit of the
family of the late Mr.. Stanton now amount to
Sl5O,0OO. OF this sum s65 900 is contrib
uted by New York, $50, 900 by Pennsylvania,
$4,000 by persons in Boston, and $4,000
by persons in Washington. To these amounts
should be added the years salary of Mr.. Stan
ton as Justice Of the Supreme Court, voted
by Congress to the widow, although Mr..
Stanton never took his seat nor was sworn in

to thus squander the peoples money as long
as the taxpayers justify it by their votes

THE CONNECTICUT ELECTION.

The result of the Connecticut election, says
the Memphis AUalamche, is singing reproof
of the Administration. 1t is crushing in
d:ctment of the policy of malice which SO long
ago obtained with reference to the South
and of that other policy of proaigacy whose
result has been the grinding of the masses
that the rich may grow richer and the poor
poorer. The Radicals of Connecticut, instead
of liberalizing with the tendency of the times,
Endorsed every turning of the thumb>screw
beneath which the South was being ground
to powder; and they opposed every scheme
for reduction of taxation and the diffusion
of the benefits of the Government to others
than those who run in their own narrow
grooves. The rebuke has come early, and its
force and meaning cannot be ignored Itsays
to the dominant party in Congress GLANDS
off the South" And it says to the dominant
party Hands off the peoples pockets" 1t
says that the war is over that peace has come;
and with it must come the legislation of peace.
The Connecticut Democracy has left the ruts
of old fogyism. 1t has planted itself on live
issues, and appealed not to the passions, but
the understanding of the people. And it has
won while those who refuse to recognize that
to day as, and yesterday aeas, follow defeat
with defeat. 1t will be only because the OPP
position to Radicalsm is idiotioally stupid if
the party now controlling this country remain
in the White House and Congress after 1872
Nothing can perpetuate that power, whose
own cOrruDtiOn shOnld have Dissolved IN vears
ago, but faulty which will cause its OPP
ponents to cling to the dead past instead of
Selling the present

TREE PLANTING SUCCESSFUL ON THE PLAINS.
To the EditOr Of The Tribune.
SIR have previously written you respecting
planting the aanthus tree in the dry plains. Believing
in the views you have expressed in "What Know Of
Farming" respecting the future Of the deserts Of the
world have been able TO put of them in practice.
In April planted Kit Carson, which is 4S7 miles
west of Kansas City, few aanthuses and European
larches "roll" OF the sand OF the plain exposed to
furious winds, where but little rain falls They yet look
well especially the ailanhuses, which think will sur
vive without irrigation. As the industrial Agent Of
the Kansas Pacific Railway Company and in order to
improve property suitably for IMMIGRATION am prepar
plant the ground thus at intervals for 200 miles
along the line.
artesan well Is now in progress at Kit Carson, and
at depth OF 800 feet is yet in tertiary shae. We expect
soon to reach coal well flowing water. There are
wells few hundred feet distant which at IS feet depth,
the shale, have abundance Of water The recla-
nation OF the desert is begun and 1t by no means
difficult undertaking the first Pacific Railway.
