MANY persons have gained the impress
sion that Congress at its recent session
passed bill giving q bounty of land to
all Federal soldiers who served in the
late civil war. This is not SO. An
amendment was passed to the home
stead law by which every discharged
soldier who desires to acquire home on
Government lands, and will become an
actual settler thereon, may have the
entire period of his service in the
army deducted from the five years
residence which the law requires of
other settlers before clear title to the
land is given them. Previous to this
amendment the only advantage that the
soldier had over the citizen under the
homestead law was that he could take
one hundred and sixty acres Of land
within twenty miles of a railroad to
which land grants have been made,
while the citizen could only take eighty
acres. Outside of railroad limits, citi-
zens and soldiers stood on the same
footing.

SUMNER ON THE STUMP.

The personal animosity of Charles
Sumner towards President Grant has again
found vent in a bitterly vituperative speech.
The Senator from Massachusetts has set
the fashion of stump oratory in the Senate
chamber-of the National Capital. and the
exponent of chivalry has once more availed
himself of his opportunities to abuse and
insult one who is powe,less to reply to the
attack. The synopsis of the speech tele-
G aphed to this coast shows that it WIS
little more than TRADE of abuse: the key
note being found in the Presidents 5 refusal
to adopt in all things the counscls OF Mr..
Charles Sumner So far from being a
statesmanlike effort, it more nearly resem-
bled the petulant and brutal complaint OF a
spoiled child. And lfi bear this character
it is but truthful reaey Of the orator S
