A MODEST REQUEsT.-A bill has been in
troduced into the Virginia Legislature asking
Congress to appropriate fifty million acres of
the public lands TO aid the State in paying her
public debt. This may seem at the first blush
q rather modest request; but, after all, the pub
lie lands might as well be appropriated in the
manner suggested as to have them gobbed
up BY railroad spectators and lobby jobbers.

AssEMBLYMAN CHARLES A. FLAMMER, re-
publican reformer, represents the Seventeenth
district of New York city at Albany. He is a
lawyer, and received the votes of all the
friends OF reform in the November election.
He is on the Judiciary Committee, represents
an Independent constituency, and knows the
true character Of the Erie ring. He cannot
hang fire on the bill to repeal the Classihca-
ton act and secure fair election of directors
of the Erie Railroad. Any tampering with
the question would on his part be suicidal.

FRANCE AND HER ROYAL FRIENDS
Ccant de Chambord is willing to ''risk his

the authority of his private secretary. An
Old World philosopher of the politico-
economic school says he has frequently heard
men assert, 81 will lay my head on the

Greeley, Notwithstanding the little draw
back Of free trade, has fixed his heart and
his hopes upon Cincinnati, where Gratz Brown
and his liberal republicans are TO act as
the forlorn hope of the passive democracy.
No encouraging voice is heard by the New
Hampshire republicans from ''our later Frank
lin" On the contrary, he is working like a
beaver to defeat them, because they ignore the
Sage of Chappaqua and fly the flag OF 1.-THE
Appomattox apple tree" The House investi-
cation of the facts connected with the sales of
arms to France Mr.. Greeley denounces as a
farce because the facts disclosed sustain the
honesty of the administration, financially and
politically. In short, we fear that If there is
one man in the country more anxious than
Sumner, Trumbull or Schurz for the success
Of the democrats in New Hampshire it is the
absurdly ambitious and implacable Greeley
He has reached that point in his personal
grievances which, in 184S, turned Martin Van
Buren, against his own party and his own re-
cord in order to obtain his great revenge.
Thus, as q godsend, this Senate debate has
served good purpose to the democrats OF
New Hampshire, where they are circulating
literally the speeches of Messrs. Sumner,
Schurz and Trumbull as campaign documents,
and where the old party claptrap and chop
logic of their stump speakers are greatly
enlivened by the interlarded anti-Grant grum-
blings of the New York Tribune. In short, the
two weeks discussion of Summers resolution
in the Senate on both sides, Grant and anti
Grant republicans, was mainly intended for
this coming New Hampshire election, and in
view of its probable and possible consequences
as the first gun Of the Presidential campaign.
The republicans of New Hampshire are fight
ing this fight under the banner OF General
Grant, and if they are defeated (and at best
the State is very cose) what win be the effect
upon the Cincinnati Convention and upon the
Philadelphia Convention? The effect, it is
thought by the democrats, may strengthen the
Cincinnati diversion into hopeful enterprise,
while the anti-Grant republicans are dream
ing that New Hampshire MAY possibly enable
them to cut out ''the military despot" even in
the house of his friends. Hence this Senate
debate, and the unusual Importance attached
on all sides to this impending New Hampshire
election.

Annual Sale Of Pews-Lcss Competition than

The annual sale OF pews In Plymouth church took
place last night Mr.. HOyr, voluble and self-pos-
sessed blonde played auctioneer very acceptably.
The church was about half full OF people. But de-
spite his volubllity there was apparent desire on
the part Of the buyers to give a red cent
more than the value OF the article offered.
TINS lacd OF reckessness seemed to have had
disastrous effect on some OF the elders, who
scratched the price current with their pencils In the
most nervous manner AS usual the excitement,
what little there was OF 1t, attained Its maximum
on the bidding for the first choice The
auctiOneer was lively when the figure touched
