LAND NONOPOLYIN SCOTLAND.

The abolition of the purchase system
of commissions in the English army
has closed up one of the chief venues
for employment of the younger o u Of
landed proprietors. The abolition Of
the established church,SWhich is thought
to be only a question of time, will cut
off another source Of employment Of
members of the same class. When this
occurs it is believed that the landed
proprietors will be in favor of repeating
all laws in relation to primogeniture,
because there will be few ways of re-
specially settling their younger sons.
At present the estates throughout Great
Britain are growing larger, notwith-
standing the great increase of popula-
ton. A report to the British Parlia-
meat on the land laws, tenures and
landed estates of Scotland, shows these
facts {: That there are in Scotland 1872
$50 landowners ; that of these - own
300, 600 acres, which is close upon
half of the area of Scotland that the
Duke of Sutherland, the largest OF the
land monopolists, owns l, 176,5 74 acres f.;
and hat the Queen of England owns
2 5000 acres. Land monopoly has al
ways been the curse of Scotland, and
these figures show that it is even a
worse evil there than in the San Joa.
quin Valley of California. There is
this difference in favor of Scotland, that
while our monopolists live abroad, those
of Scotland-as Sutherland, B%uccleucl,
and Argyle-live on their estates and
are constantly making solid improve
ments.

The Vicksburg Herald denies be

stOn, and in view of this denial we
acknowledge the error into which
we were led. When the Herald
spoke of Gen. Johnston as the
great retreater," the "man who
wouldn't fight" etc, etc, we quite
naturally concluded that there must
have been some personal feeling
that prompted the use of such con
teiaptuous epithets, and this was
the Judgment of all whom we heard
speak of it. No one could object
to legitimate criticism-that was to
be expected-but it was the ridi-
cnle cast upon Gen. Johnston as a
soldier that we objected 70, and
which we regretted to see in the
columns of a journal occupying the
proud position of the Herald. With
the hope that this explanation mag
