POLITICAL GRENADES.

THg LASD-GRABBINs RAprcALs.-As
our readers are aware. the Radicals have
given to railroad corporations 1862 900,
600 acres of the public lands. From
March. 4. 1869, to July l, 1870. a Pc
riod Of about sixteen months, eighty mil
lion acres were given away. TO show the
extent Of this degrading game. the
Hartford Times says: I'm all New Eng
land there are about 10000, 900 acres,
50 the aggregate land grant is four times
as large as all New England Take New
England. New York. Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Maryland. Delaware and Virginia
together. and there would still be room to
throw in Connecticut or two TO make mp
an aggregate area equal to the land
grants. five carry our comparison abroad,
we 6ud that the land grants arc equal to
five countries like England. or just shout
equal to England and France combined.
One million farms Of 160 acres each could
be carved out of this area and leave rem
nant large enough to make two or three
States Of the size of Rhode Island. With
out saying anything about the policy Of
giving away so much Of the public do
main, it is pretty evident from these fig-
urcs that things in this country are done
ION prodigious SCALE"
Woaps OF WispoN THE Democratic
party. as well by its past history As by its
present declaration, Is committed to rigid
Interpretation of the Constitution. Its
record is autagonistic to the assumption
of unwarranted and illegal powers. II
calls upon all men. irrespective Of party
affiliations, to aid in wrestling from nm
scrupulous rulers the trust which they
have 50 shamefully misapplied. This
question should not be regarded n u 20
litical abstraction or as q mere party clam
Tor. The masses should he educated
in sense Of the responsibility which
weighs upon them As citisens. Whatever
may have been . mans views in the past,
liz Is now for him to decide whether he
will favor limited or an absolute govern
ment; whether he win support the Gen.
tralisasion or localisation Of its powers
Upon this Issue the Democratic party has
but one record. and can have but one
course-that of devotion to local govern
ment and to the limitation Of the powers
Of the Federal Government. It's path in
the fusu-c is, therefore, plain. and it, til

TnE DEBr DoDGE.-Thc only card this
Administration has for the approaching
campaign is the payment of the debt
That is to be made to screen the perfect
chaos Of corruptions and frauds, extrava-
gance and usurpation, nepotism and gen.
eraf imbecility. that are the substance of
its existence. The debt is being paid,
and the country is taxed to death to do it.
A line Of coast counties in Maine have
suffered the ruin Of their trade and indus
tries in consequence, together with the
draining away Of sixteen thousand of their
once prosperous and contentcd population.
This is the real benefit of the Boutwell,
debt discharging dogma 1t is extirpa-
ting every enterprise on which the peo-
pie rely, and therefore making it impos-
sible after stated time to pay any tax at
all. It is suicidal consumption of the
capital of the country. and State like
Maine suffers depopulation from it.

Excitement Ams.s Inventors.

Some weeks ago an article appeared in the
newspapers, stating that all the patents is
sued by the United States Patent Office be-
tween the eighth Of January, 1870, and the
first of July, 1871, are null and void, by
reason of informality in the patent head, in
consequence of which food of letters,
making inquiries about the matter. have
poured in upon the patent office. The law
in force prior to July 8, 1870, directed that
patents should issue to the patentee, his
executors, administrators or assigns, while
the law of that date directs the issue to the
patentee, his heirs or assigns. The patent
heads II. E. blank forms), however, retained
the old form until July l, 1871, since which
time new heads have been used, conforming
to the phraseology Of the new law. General
Leggett, the commissioner Of patents. re-
CARDS the difference in form as entirely un.
important, and the patents issued during
the time specified as perfectly valid, so far
as the phraseOlogy is concerned.

On the breaking out of the war he en-

A Fire IDcl6ent.


During the recent terrible fires in West.
ern Michigan there were three brothers,
owners of valuable mills and other build
ings, which they and their neighbors (some
Of whom were Christian mem were defend
ing from the fires until all were exhausted
and in despair. One of the owners, frank,
rough, wicked man, of huge frame and
generous impulses, said many hard words
Of Gods permitting the destruction of so
much property for no good to any one, etc.
Finally, he gave up and said to his neigh
bore: "Go home, 60 home, nothing more
can be done for us; God can do as he
pleases." just then few drops of rain
fell; looking up they saw the cloud, and all
redoubled their efforts. A slight rain fell;
the fire was checked, and the mills saved.
The rough man dropped upon his kHes,
great tears rolled down his face, his hands
were clasped, head bowed, and he agoniz-
ing to express his thanks. Suddenly he
sprang to his feet, vigorously swinging his
hat, and with the most intense earnestness
shouted: "Hurrah for God. Hurrah for
God :"

The Schooner Horton..
This is a special to the New York Her

This is q special to the New York Herald:
WASHINGTON, November GA letter was
received to-day at the Treasury Depart
ment from General Butler, setting forth at
some length reasons why the papers applied
for by the collector Of the port of Glou-
cester for the schooner Edward A. Horton,
recently captured from the Canadian author
ities. should be issued. Mr.. Butler argues
that the Offense committed by the Glouces-
ter fishermen is not one involving an inter-
nauonal controversy. He cites the case Of
a British vessel seized in Boston several
years ago for violation of our navigation
laws, but which was taken possession of by
her captain and the keeper, who was subse-
quently landed in Canadian port and sent
home at the expense Of the owners of the
vessel. Our government let the case slide,
warning the collectors Of customs, however,
if the vessel again entered an American
port to detain her until the penalties in
Cured were paid. General Butler urges
that Captain Knowlton has . right 10 the
schooners papers, Of which he has been
deprived by the Canadians, and considers
it would be matter OF great injustice to
withhold them from her another day. Sec
retary Boutwell,, however, refuses to recede
from the stand taken when the application
was first filed, and the issuance Of the pa
pers has again been refused.
