from among the people; in our last
great war, the people went out as
soldiers. This alone is an. important
point to be considered in reference to
the Bounty-land question. Again,
when the country settled with Its
soldiers of former wars, there was no
Homestead Law in operation where
by any citizen could secure his farm
as a freehold for the mere settlement
upon it, as is the case now. And Mr..
III. should have remembered this
when he stated what the soldiers
chad the right to expect"
Mr.. Haviland Gloves the Republi-
can party" Good! So do we. "And
loving it," he would "warn 1t OF
dangers But it was the manner In
which he essayed to do SO that we
objected to in the former article.
There is warning as of friend land
there is warning not friendly. we
could not perceive the friendliness in
the style of warning he adopted.
The threat that, if the Republican
party didn't grant Bounty-land to
the soldiers, the soldiers would desert
to the Democratic party, seemed to
us altogether too much like the
threato of some of the Woman-Suffrage
speakers, that if the Republican party
wouldn't grant the franchise to the
women, the women would forthwith
turn Democrats in body. And to
all such threats we feel like respond
ing: If you are Democrats, show
your cOlOrs. tes@5
This one thing is true: that If ever
any party adopts and fairly carries
out any measure of justice to either
the soldiers or the women, it will be
the Republican rather than the
Democratic party; and those who
cannot see this are welcome to what
ever advantage they may fancy they
can gain from abandoning the Re-
publican organization. When they
have sold their birthright for mess
of pottage they can collect the pay
for themselves.
And now, leaving Mr.. Haviland's
communication, word as to the
merits of the case:
We have not yet been able to SEQ
the great advantage likely to accrue
to the soldiers from the Bounty-land
bill passed by the House few weeks
ago; but we do fear that there may
somehow be a cat concealed under
that pile of meal, before all is sthrough
with. Seeing that every citizen may
now have a homestead free, except
payment of some $l4 fees, why not
if the good Of the soldier is the sole
object aimed at-remit all fees to the
soldier, allow him to settle on any
public land not mineral, deduct from
the time required for settlement the
time actually spent i'm service, and
then provide that the homestead he
enters shall never be sold, assigned
or in any way taken from him (ex-
cept perhaps for delinquent taxcsl
but shall remain inalienable in him
and his heirs and assigns forever :
This would be true land-bounty;
but to provide for the soldiers selling
the land or assigning it would in
effect be to merely give him a small
amount Of money, at an erroneous
expense to the whole people, for the
ultimate benefit of land-sharks and
speculatOrs.
But we must ask our readers
pardon for SO long an article.

CONGRESSIONAL.

The Sd Session Of the 41st Congress
closed at noon last Friday. a very
full summary of proceedings from
23d ult. to lst inst, inclusive, will be
found on I'd page. OF course a full
report of all proceedings is impossi-
BILE toany newspaper except the Dali
ly Glo6e-and still more so during
the closing days of q session. We
can notice only some of the more inn
portant business done.
The Senate on the I'd, by a strict
party vote, adopted resolution en-
dorsing the Government policy in
reference to the education Of the
freedmen, and acquittiDg Gen. How
.sxd OF all charges -agai ainstahim.-~--
several appropriation bills were con-
sidered and passed.
The House on same day passed
bill providing for a Board Of three
Commissioners to examine certain
claims of loyal Southern citizens
against the United States--a meas
ure which, on its face, is open to
s0megrave objections at least. t.-The
House, by vote Of 1l6 to 81, refused
to adopt motion looking to the re-
peal of the income tax. IN discus
sion on the Legislative Appropriation
bill, Gen. Logan made some strong
remarks warning the House that the
West would not endure any heavy
appropriations for new public build
ingsat Washington.
The Senate on the 3d passed the
House bill providing fo. the reissue
Of National Bank notes, for the re-
ception at Treasury Of mutilated

stead, &c.-A number Of pension
bills were passed, and several Conn
mittee reports adopted.
The House, same day, passed a
Joint resolution for the admission of
animals for breeding purposes free of
hnty.-The Senate bill to increase
pensions 90 per cent. was rejected by
q large majority.-A resolution
oomplimenting Speaker Blaine was
adopted by acclamation, with but
one dissenting vOiee-that of Munger!
1t seems that both Houses were in
session nearly the whole Of Friday
night, being largely occubied in dis
eussiOn. Meanwhile the Senate
argeed to an amendment, introduced
by Senator Trumbull, to an appro-
priation bill, authorizing the Presi-
dent to prescribe such regulations as
he may deem necessary for the ad-
mission of persons into the civil SER
vice Of the U. s. The House had
stormy time OH a proposed amend
ment of the rules, &C., but finally
passed the Senate's Omnibus APP
preparation bill' with an "enOrmOus
batch Of amendments" President
Grant and Cabinet came down to the
Capitol about midnight, and, after a
COLLATION., proceeded to the business
OF signing bills en- masse.
On the forenoon Of the 4th, the
Senate galleries were crowded with
spectators. A resolution highly
complimenting Vice President Col
fax was offered by Senator Bayard,
slld unanim ously adopted; and at Il
o'clock the Vice President declared
the Senate Of the 4lst Congress ad-
j0urned without day.
In the House, meanwhile, the gal
leries were filed with spectators

A Washington special of the 9th.
says there is opposition to an early
adjournment of Congress. The West
ern members are anxious to have the
apportionment bill passed before

numerical strength ia the House.
The Republicans also want the COM
mittee on Southern outrages to make
report, and are anxious to enact
some measure, before adjourning,
which will punish the Ku KluX and
protect life and property at the
South; and the evidence already
received shows the terrible need of
some effective measure to that end.

We republish herewith an article
from the Pella Blade Of 2Sth ult.,
under the head Of "The Fall Elec-
ton" For ourselves we had thought
it yet too early to begin any public
discussion Of County politics; but
perhaps it is as well now as later.
At any rate the Blatle's remarks are
sound, whether late or early.
One mistake we made last year
and we include our personal share in
1.-THE Convention was held too late.
1t was an error Of judgment only, for
which no one man or set Of men can
Justly be blamed; and we think all
will agree to different plan this
year. Let us have an early Conven-
ton, a square fight with the enemy,
and time enough to get our own self
inflicted wounds healed over before
election-and then, If wea are whipped, !,
let us be whipped. -,
Too many Republicans excuse thelf
apathy ia County politics on tie
ground that ''there's no principle IN
it" and that "if we get good men, It
don't make any difference" &c.1
When the time comes we shall en-
deavor to show the faliacy OF these
excuses, and show how the Repubh-
cans in this County, on saach grounds,
have time and again bitten on their
own noses, and given to their enemies

TO be no doubt OF match between Coburn and

been to find some one upon whom both could agree

refused. under rule, TO deliver until the arrange.
ment was completed. Botn parties, however came
together yesterday, and Rufus Hunt OF New Orleans,
was made the stakeholder ior the new arrangement,
which fixes the condition that the fight Is to take
place within one hundred niles OF New Orleans. At
the Long Branch meeting the stakes were increased
TO 81, 500, and now b0th parties express the most
perfect confidence that the hight will take place.
COburn declares that he Is lin Tor square tght'

did not believe Coburn meant business before he Is

them to fight or lose their money, and that he has
