STEWART AND SWAMP LANDS AGAIN.

A correspondent of the Examiner,
writing from Washington, exposes
more of the swamp land matters in
which the Senator from Nevada, Mr..
Stewart, has taken such remarkable
interest. Mr.. Stewart was not con.
tent with the result which was
brought about by his influence, by
which the State of Nevada was
deprived of all swamp and overflowed
lands within its limits, mainly for
the benefit of the railroad company.
He has carried his operations still
further and in like capacity as the
friend and apparently attorney for
the railroad company, he has been
putting up a job in California by
which that State has been prevented,
at least at present, from obtaining
settlement and segregation of its
interest in the swamp lands of that
State. Swamp lands are evidently
Stewards special forte. He is a sort
of special Railroad Land Commits
sioner and Attorney, apparently
holding his office for the special ben
eft and interest, not Of his State or
constituents, but of the railroad.
Nevada has a little account with this
distinguished Senator which it is
likely to remember. 1t is not sur
prising that the railroad company
should endeavor to obtain as much
of an interest in the lands along the
line of the railroad as possible. That
is to be expected, but that e rep
re%sentative of the State should will
fully concoct the scheme by which
his State should be deprived of
several hundred thousand acres
of the best lands within its
limits, at the time when there is
a general demand for State lands
and more sales than ever before. is
certainly one of the most remark
able exhibitions of brazen cheek and
reckless audacity known to the pc
Rod. 1t is equivalent to a gigantic
robbery of the State Treasury. If a
robber or defaulter is entitled to
punishment, Senator Stewart de-
serves a similar condemnation. tits
a difference of mode merely, without
any difference in results. There is
no justification or excuse for the act.
and its motive was SO palpable, and
the effect SO damaging to the State
which the Senator pretended to rep.
resent. that it cannot be forgotten or
forgiven by the people of Nevada.
1t is a record that will rise in fatal
in the years to come.
