Farming Lands Hereabouts.

To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR In an editorial Of your paper of the
10th instant you remarked that there is
plenty of good farming land in tho neighbor-
hood of this city. and that a concentrated ef-
fort should be made to introduce these unem.
ployed lands to the attention of omigrants
North and East" You are right. Around no
city In this Union can land bo had so choaply
as 1t can near this city. The farming land In
the District and adjoining counties were
owners, and thoy paid but little attention
to the productiveness Of the land SC
long as 1t afforded them and their slaves
comfortable living. In no sense of the
word was there farmer among them-that il
to say, II you take the standard Of those oi
New York and Pennsylvania Since tho abOli
tion of slaves, and consequent loss Of theil
yearly increase, tho land has been poorly
worked by tenant-farmers, who were barely
able TO pay the rent exacted, and consequently
the land has grown poorer and poorer every
year. That the land will produce good crop'
Is evident from the few good farmers here ant
there.
The most serious drawback to the interes
you desire Is the systematic manner In VIII icl
the business men and capitalists in Washing
ton run down the farming land and the littl'
assistance they render the farmer. They arr
very willing, however, that the farmer shal
come in their stores and buy goods from them
and possibly they may credit him for small
amounts; but should he desire loan upoi
deed of trust Of a quarter, third, or a hal
what his farm cost, he will then find tina
money cannot be had, and he will be told tha
his land is worth nothing and all sorts Of OBJ
jections, and the poor fellow who has spent h
all In the purchase Of the place 10 discouraged
and disheartoned, and his time and attention
is hereafter given to dispose of tho farm which
tue business men Of the city tells him is goot
for nothing, and instead of improving til,
farm, as he intended, he now makes ever!
effort to realize as much OF the purchase none!
as no can.
You will therefore see that no farmer cal
open q farm here prosperously unless he has
good bank account and is willing to use {

THE Frening journal, in commenting
upon the New York custom-house removals,

follows:
The Administration has thrown off the mask
Of Ciyii-service reform. 1t is high time that

that to be openly violated, proving that he was

THE Springfield (lli.j Republic has new
theory for the abandonment of the so-callcd
GRANT movement, but insists that GRANT
man shall bo nominated in 1850. II says,
very innocently:
All patriots preferred GRANT, with his Iron
hand, to Mexicanized government Now
that the conspiracy has failed and the bottom
aud sides have fallen completely out Of Por-
TERrsN the need Of GRANT as q candidate for
1880 has passed away. The masses of the peo-
pie do not wish any man to serve third term.
Both parties fought out the last campaign un-
der the one-term flag. Now let us adhere to
the programme-except In the event that the
Democrats get up a rebellion, which We do
not believe they will ever try to do. But, If
they do, let US give them GRANT, and keep
him in until they quiet down and behave
themselves. Otherwise-Rnd wo are pretty
sure 1t will be otherwise-lct us give them that
other Gaiena man, ELIHu b. WAsHBURSE, un-
less somebody suggests better man and a
more popular candidate.
We have frequently had occasion to re.
mark that the talk about General GRANT's
denomination is premature, and for that
reason II may he ephemeral. But the in
fluence ii has exorted on the political situa
ton will be lasting as the fame and princi
pies of that distinguished citizen. Th'
experience that the country, and especially
the Republican party, has sn66'od-there Il
no other word to express the idea-sinc'
the 4th of March, 1877, has not boon with
out its lesson. If VIC cannot or do no
get GRANT in 1850, we will certainly ge
some one of his way of thinking, whether i
be WAsHBURNE, as the Republic suggests, o
