A FAIR PRoposIrIoN.-The Men,
nonites of Russia, who, to the number
Of about sixty thousand, propose to SET
tie in this country, ask of Congress
that land on the public domain, equal to
twenty or twenty-five miles square be
withdrawn from market, and set apart
tor them to purchase. They do net ask
that q single acre be given them; but
they desire to escape from the tricks of
hnd Spectators, and propose to pay
whatever the government may charge
for the land. Should, Congress grant
this request they will divide the tract
into sections and quarter sections, and
distribute II among members Of the sect,
and viii pay ten percent. OF the pur-
chase money, and begin settling .imme:
diately. About ten thousand will come
to this country this year, leaving the
ethers to- wind up their affairs in Rus
sia, The Canadian Government has Of
fered to present the Mennonites with
more than four times as much land as
they seek to buy of our Government,
and to pay them thirty dollars per per-
son, if they will settle in that country,
but as they have already been driven
from their own country by monarchial
institutions they prefer to make their
new settlement in a'land- where their
religions freedom is assured. =

A MA1KED CoNTRAsr.-Wbeu a
new President is installed in this
county every: government official, from
the highest to the lowest, is liable to be
removed. As a consequence, every
change Of administration causes a fut-
ter among .aspirapts for, place, and o
fearful amodn: of profanity ,on:the part
of disappointed candidates. y, A most
marked contrast to this is presented in
England. 1t is stated that the total
number Of appointments to be made by
DRraeli, on assuming control Of the
British Government, Is only Jorty.fve,
and yet the change in the policy Of. the
