topic. No vote WAS reached. The caucus
seemed about equally divided. and, unless
there is further action In caucus, the bill,
as it came from the House supported by
Democratic Senators, Will certainly pass.

Edmunds and Terry spoke in favor Of Mr..
Binpham's amendment.
~ HouSe-The air line railroad between New
York and Washington was up, but Mr.
Swan yielded the floor to Mr.. Julian, to in
troduce bill which would open eight mil
lions OF acres of land, and against which

LONDON, March 1O.-The Conservative
banquet last night was largely attended by
eminent men, and large number of letters
from others were read. The policy Of the

Sir James Packingham, speaking for the
army, said: "To disconnect the army and
reduce its force by "a 800. was injudicious
economy than to re-embody the army.
Happily the country has another force
which is iudestructible, armed with truth,

The Public Lands.

United States Senator Howell made q
speech, on the first instant, on the resolu-
ton introduced by him, inserting provis-
ion in every grant of land to the railroads,
securing the rights of settlers to the home
stead on grants, and requiring the land to
be put in market at an early day. at price
not exceeding two dollars and fifty cents
per acre. MIR. Howell proposed to make
that policy permanent feature in railroad
land grants, and to protect the West and
Southwest from the evils Of the land mo-
moody. The rapid accumulation of capital,
and powerful combinations of railroad COM
panies, greatly increased the danger of land
monopolies in these days over that OF former
times. He did not oppose granting lands
to promote the settlement and develop the
resources Of the West. That policy was wise
and successful. In the South it was pre-.
vented by slavery, and the establishment of
a landed aristocracy, which should have
perished with slavery. by a division of the
lands of traitors among loyal soldiers. The
Northwestern States received liberal grants
of lands before railroads existed. The grant
for the Illinois Central was procured by MIR.
Douglas, who inaugurated the railway
movement, and that State and Chicago in
creased N population and wealth as if by
magic He says the growing opSnsition to
land grants comes from the reckless extrava
gance Of some of the grants, and the sus-
pcions of corruption involving parties con
nected with them, but it is the abuse OF this
policy itself which people complain of.
