STRANGE but TRUE,

Many years ago the csving ina of turItl
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad pm.
an end to the regular running of trains
for day or two, and congregated large
number of passengers in a little village
upon the west end of the road. Amorg
the passengers thus delayed was found,
TO all appearance, a superannuated Meth
odist clergyman from the State of Iowa.
He was very plainly dressed, his garments
having the appearance of but recently
ornamenting the front door of second
hand clothing store. His personal
appearance was as wanting in come
illness as his clothing. He talked much
about political matters, beipg a
strong Radical. 1t was subsequently s
certained that the dilspidated preacher
was an lows member of Congress on his
way to Washington. The discovery ere
ated no little comment among the pas
sengers; all concluding that Iowa must be
sadly in want of material for Congress
men. The man gave his name IS Harlan,
and we are now reminded Of the incident
by the following from the New York
Sun:
ga follower of Wesley, and preacher
of righteousness came to the Senate from
q Western State, pious and poor. Serv-
ing first in the north wing of the Capitol,
then in the DEPARTMENT of the interior,
and then again at the Capitol, he waxed
rich, and dwelt in his own lsvishly, gam
ished brown stone mansion, and kept a
carriage which the Archbishop of Cante
bury would have envied."

BULLETS AND BALLOTS.
A late telegram from Mexico says:

a late telegram from Mexico says:
"Juarez lacks 10 votes of a majority
for President, with fourteen districts to
be heard from, and it is expected these
will give sufficient number of votes to
elect him. Members of the opposition
make different computation, and allege
that a msjority of the votes for any of
the candidates is impossible. Both par
ties are srming."
This has decidedly q Mexican twang
about it. One might suppose, from
reading it, that Gen. Grant had learned
his ideas of republicanism from Mexican
Statesmen or Mexican text books. The
way in which his partizans bring into
the field Federal troops and Gatlin guns
to contpsl Radical conventions in his IA
vor, show that they are apt scholars Of
their republican teacher in Mexico.

headed at all the hotels in thecountry and
over all the railroads aud steamboats,,
except Jim Fisk's, but he might have had
a sea side cottage at Long Branch given
to him and several loads of New Jersey
manure thrown in. We do not know
that this would have made Mr. Marcy
any greater man. We are sure that it
would have made him no batter.

Lawns For TIE LANDLEsS

Once our government had an immense
domain of public lands. It was intended
that these lands should become the prop
erty of the bold pioneers who moved
westward snd settled upon them, thegov-
eminent making only such charge per
acre for them IS would be reasonable
pay for the survey. Lands for the land
less was then popular cry. But, alas,
those public lands have been rapidly ap.
propIiated to increase theimmeuse wealth
of the Eastern nabob. Now they are q
chief feature in the speculation and cor
Iupion which control our Congressional
legislation. Since the Radicals have had
complete control of the government, with
full power to pass or defeat any measure
they wished 10 pass or defeat they are
certainly responsible for whatever
of corrupt or mischievOus legislation
they have enacted. Then let US see how
they stand on the record with regard 10
this public domain. A document before
US, compiled from official records, pre-
senis some startling figures touching the
wasteful prodigality which has character
lied the Radical guardsnship of this great
heritage of the people. Frem 1861 to
the period in 1869, when the report Of
the Land Office was made, little over
eight years, the Radical party granted
away one hundred and twenty millions of
acres of the public lands to four railroad
companies between the Mississippi and
the Pacific ocean. These four compa-
MES were the Union Pacific, the Central
Pacific, the Northern Pacific, and the
Atlantic and Pacific. Besides this there
were granted to the Kansas Pacific in the
same period, and other smaller railroads,
an aggregate of not less than twenty-five
millions of acres more. SO much in the
way of land.
In the same period there was granted
TO the Union Pacific, the Central Pacific,
the Kansas Pacific and three smaller
roads vast money subsidies, in the shape
of q loan of Government bonds, amount
Jag, May l, 1870, principal and interest,
TO over seventy-one millions three hun
bred and thirty-seven thousand dollars.
When these bonds were issued, this Gov
eminent held a first mortgage on the roads
by way of security. These, with the
land, were more than sufficient to build
the roads, but by a free use of money
among members of Congress, Congress
passed law waving the Government
lien as first mortgage, and authorizing
the companies to mortgage their roads
and al their appurtensnccs for new
loan. This was done-the Government
bonds, or the larger portion Of them, were
divided up among the favored few, aid
they will ultimstely have TO be paid by
the Taxpayers of America to the last
cent. But it is with the land subsidies
we have to do now.
Returning to the document referred to
we find the land granted-124 millions of
scres-to the four companies named above
covers but few thousand acres short of
the entire area of New York, Ohio, Penn
sylvsnia and Virginia. Was there ever
b, ard of before such reckless waste of
the great patrimony Of people,
So matters stood at the opening in De-
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1871-08-27

csmber, 1869, of the second session of
Congress. As if the millions and mil
lions of the public moneys and lands
squandered upon railroad companies had
only whetted their sppetite for more, and
stimulated the Radical majorities in the
two Houses TO greater excuses, the sec
ond session of Congress was carnival
of profigate waste of pubic lands. Dur
ngthe session of eight months, ending
July 10, 1870. 'Hand grabbing" on the
largest scale ran riot. There were in the
two Houses over two hundred rail
road land bills, granting away the
public lands to new companies, to old
companies, everywhere, in the new States,
ia the old States, in the Territories.
Then there was great batch of entirely
new schemes for plundering the public
lands in the shape of bills making grants
of them to aid steamships in the Mediter.
ranean and Suez Canal trade; to aid irriga
ton companiei; to aid companies to lay
down telegraph cables across the Pacific
Ocean, ETC., etc.
1t was stated in debate in the Senate by
Mr.. Thurman, of Ohio, that the land
grant bills before Congress during the last
session called for four hundred million of
acus more of the public lands This
was never questioned then or at any other
time. It was doubtless below the truth,
and is less than two millions of acres to
each such bill, which, under the preeent
scale in Congress of giving away the pub
lie lands, is the merest trife. The most
alarming feature Of the whole business
was that it Seemed impossible to defeat
any Of these bills ON their merits. Lst
the worst of them get to final vote, its
passage was q certainty. This is true of
both Houses of Congress. Though in
the House of Representatives number
of Radical members were, for the time
being, on their good behavior, in view Of
the Fall elections, yet even there msjOr-
ity was always forthcoming in the end
for great railroad land grant. The truth
of this was seen in the case of the North~
ern Pacific Railroad.
What faith can be placed in the pledges
of party which has this damaging re-
cords Give them a new lease of power
srd all that is left Of the public lands
will be squandered.
