A DISEASED PHYsrclAN.-It has been
shown that Senator Doolittlc, the virtuous
champion Of the Liberal reformers, used his
official position to help along private cottor
speculation during the war, in which he wal
personally interested. To this serious chargi
the Senator makes such defense as he can
and of this defense the Springfield RepuJl
can frankly says:
d" But now that Mr.. Doolittle has submitted
his defense, the Republican finds itself constrained
to believe that he didwrte these letters as charged
and that in doing so he has trided with his repu-
tation and temporarily, if not permanently, disa-
bled himself TO render any useful service 10 his
country in public life"

Land in the West, as well as 10 the
East, has undergone a material advance in
the last five or ten years. In Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and Michigan, in some instances, good
farming lands have advanced form $40 to $50
per acre and in the newer States beyond the
Mississippi, improved farm lands have adyanc-
ed in proportionate ratio. In Iowa, for
instance, $40 to $50 per acre is common
figure for good farms along the line of rail
roads. which ten years ago could have beer
purchased for three or five dollars per acre. And
all this Is owing to the general improvement
Of facilities in transportation by which the
product Of their farms are brought 80 near "a

others.
| was counsel for the orators in the cause, from
the outset, and was Of course familiar with the
magnitude Of the amount and the Importance of
the principles involved.
1t is rare indeed that case of so much conse-
quence in all respects is heard in the Supreme
Court, and it is only simple justice to say that
your conduct Of the defence was thorough and
skilllu, and almost successful. The compensa-
ton paid you $4,000 as I understand was |
think fully earned, and was am sure very much
less than usually received by leading practitioners
in the Supreme Court, in cases Of the great i'm
portance Of the one in question.
