ENGLISH LANDS.

The enthusiasm which Nh. Mill'S
reccn: speech, at Exeter Hall, OK
cited proves that the Associations
has not miscalculated in bringing
its programme and principles to the
test of open discussion. Reform
agitations in this country generally
commence in very quiet way. A
few earnest men first unite togeth-
er with view to common action
for common object. After time
public interest is excited. Then
the movement naturally passes into
the public meeting stage, final V cll
minatiny in Parliamentary debates
and in Parliamentary legislation.
Several weeks ago the programme
of this Association was published.
with explanatory remarks by Mr.. j.
S. MILL Like other productions of
that illustrious writer, this pamph-
let has been the subject of very
general discussion, and of not a
little misapprohension. To the or
binary English mind there is moth
ing 50 sacred as land. A proposal
to legislate for the Improvement OF
the Land Laws is commonly regard
ed as akin TO sacrilege. That rich
men should become landowners
and that old families should possess
large estates, is accounted the most
natural thing in the word. What
Michelet called the essence of feu-
dalism is that the "Sydeme fcodul
est CONNIE me religion de la te,7e."
This religion is classed by eminent
economists among the superstitions
which, help to render progress i'm
possible. Mr.. Mills pamphlet, and
his impressive speech last night at
the Freemasons' Hall, are vigorous
attacks upon this false and injurious
faith. They constitute effective on
slaughts upon the vestiSes OF feud-
alisr, which have survived the re-
| forming efforts of our forefathers.
In some quarters the aim of Mr..
Nil and his coadju.ors will he
sneered at as Utopian, and their
labors denounced as revolutionary.
Those who are unable to deny the
Justice of the Claims advanced will
doubtless attempt to disparage
them as seeculations which it is
impossible to carry into effect with
out unsettiinS society. and annihila-
ting all proprietary rights. This is
the most usual way in which the
advocates of existing abuses strive
TO turn the flank of the advancing
army of Reform. Jeremy Bentham
pointedly exposed the hollowness
Of the cry against changes which
were stig'natised as speculative as
''an epithet in use among Official
persons for the condemnation of
whatsoever proposition is too adj
verse to private interest not to be
hated, and at the same time too
manifestly true to be denied

NATIVE COLORED SEN
TiMENT.
from TIE SHREVEPORT SOUTH
OBSERVER.

In the semi-weekiy LoUIsTANIAN OF
the 15ti, a paper published in New
Orleans, and managed by 2. D. 5.
Pinchback. we find several well
written and sensible articles. 1t has
some views upon "Now and Then,
and takes the Times to task for an
exhibition of violent temper. We
extract the concluding paragraph of
tie article:
During the initial steps Of re-
construction. the southern people
were SO chngrined by defeat, or so
generally disqualified to he'd Office,
that government could not be car
ried on by them, SO that the carpet
baggers had to be accepted in their
stead. The colored peop.e made
alliances with them, because they
were the advocates of the rights we
now possess, and We thank them
heartily for their agency in the
work already done. But after ali
we are lovers of our State and sec
ton. and if the Times and its class
will fully acknowledge our right to
live where we were born, to serve a
country we fought to save, to be
treated like men when we deserve
to be. there need be no further fight
between the white natives and the
blacks; and, therefore, we repeat
that dad blood is bad policy"
We agree with the LOUISIANA
that dad blood is bad policy" end
esteem its existence a calamity.
There is no disposition on the part
of the great mass of the responsible
whites to deprive the colored man
of his constitutional rights, or to
treat him otherwise than he DC
serves. We contend that he has
been made the dupe of designing
I knaves. who have used him 10 fur
Their Their own interests, and who
have instilled into him an antipathy
to the race whom he formerl,
served. This was out of no love t.
the former slave, but undertaken
as a matter OF hostility to the former
master. It should occur to the
sensible colored man that it woul'
be the better policy on his part tc
let time assuage past differences and
remove possibly present prejudice
for he can never hope to force his
way over these barriers or against
the circumstances OF a highly cult
waited and superior race. We have
heard Pinchback himself coanse
from the hastings policy to this
effect, and argue economy and self.
respect as q means Of advancement
IN the social scale. This would in
sure a good state OF feeling between
the two races. and would secure fol
! the colorea man every constitutions
right, without the intervention Of
the miserable disorganizers who are
now fattening at the common ex-
pense of both whites and blacks.
The LoUislANIas OF the same date
has likewise an article on Deco
ration Day and Hypocrisy in
which it contemns these national
I celebrations IS more calculated tc
to infame the passion than to
purify the affections. The flora

Union dead at Arlington was III

What Mr.. Mill demands on be-
half of the Association over which
he presides is, in one respect, iden-
teal with what Golden said short
" before his death, ought to form
the basis of the next great agitation
in England. 1t was Cobden's
opinion that he who succeeded in
establishing Free Trade in Land
would prove greater benefactor to
his countrymen than any one OF
those who brought about Free Trade
in the necessaries of life. Indeed.
from Mr.. Mills point of view, land
is as truly a necessary of life as
bread itself. To remove all fiscal
and legal impediments from the
transfer of land is'regarded by him
and by the Land Tenure Reform
Association as preliminary to the
thorough enjoyment of the untaxed
loaf. The opponents of facilitating
the transfer of landed property are
wont to say that if the cost of pur-
chase were lessened the process OF
forming large estates would go on
more rapidly. Yet, as the same
persons approve of the existing ar
rangment through which the land
remains in the possession of a few
flmilies, they cannot have much
faith in the operation of freedom of
transfer acting in the manner indi-
Gated. In principle, the change
which Mr.. Mill advocates has re-
ceived the approval Of Parliament.
The alterations made since the
!. time of Seiden in English arrange
ments OF every kind can with diff
Guilty be realized, far less enumera-
ted. Alone among the relics of o
past which MANY profess to admire,
but few would restore if they had
the power, d. our unreformed Land
Laws remain to shame the age which
is proud Of its advance and of its
readiness to reform.
The movement of which the meet.
ing last night may be regarded as
/. the real starting -po I'M
has the appearance of being far too
, powerful to be easily checked. The
lucid good sense and well-orderet
: knowledge of Sir Char'e, Dixie, and
, the generous enthusiasm of Mr.. Au
= boron Herbert, are effective allies o
Mr.. Mills philosophic craftsmanship
If the measures brought to the 10
tice of the public are extreme, thu
tone of their advocates is pacific ant
