the signature of J. W. Armstead, pro-
duces what he terms an original letter
from S. B. Packard, to prove that Mr..
Newsham received 1926 90 to assist
him in conducting campaign, &c.
Query ? How did Weak Knees get
possession of this letter, as it was nev-
er received by Mr.. N. he must have
purloined it and the money or drafts
inside. As this is on par with numer-
GUS actions of his known to us, we
would not be astonished if it were
subject to proof. Indeed no inquiry
committed by him would astonish us
now.

LAND GRANTS.

Amid the many instances of pal
pable disregard of the best inter.
ests of the people, on the part of our
national legislators, there is none
WHICH appeals more eloquently for
reformation than the legislation at
tending the subsidies and land grants
bestowed upon the various railroads
OF the country. The frequent and
fragrant abuse of the mementous
trusts committed to the directors
and stockholders of these corpora
lions is notorious. Indeed, nothing
illustrates more forcibly the unscru-
pulous character Of a large majority
of these bene6ciaries of Congress
than their appropriation to selfish
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the bonuses. So
licited, ostensibly, for the advance
ment of national interests.
In the early days Of the Republic,
many distinguished statesmen, of
wise and enlarged patriotism, advo-
Gated liberal construction of the
powers of the general government in
MD of internal improvements. But
they little imagined that, under this
specious guise, the gratuitous dis
position of the public lands to rail-
road corporations would attain the
colossal size it has now acquired. It

lnless restrained, must eventually
