FOOLISH REYEWALS OF LAND GRANTS.

FOOLISH RENEWALS OF LAND GRAH1S.
Congress would like to get reputation for
economy and watchfulness for the public In
terests without doing anything in particular
to merit it. At the same time it lavlshes ia
vors on private interests that stand in no need
of them. Thus members are in favor of rigid
retrenchment in the abstract, but when 1t
comes to appropriating money for erecting o
Post Office building or paving creek i'll ms
own State, each member IS in favor OF ho-
eral policy. So the Senate Railroad Commit
tee has voted (by bare majority, it Is true)
to revive the land grants of the Texas Pacific
and Northern Pacific for six years longer, and
the Philadelphia newspapers, where both OF
these companies have their cOnRenial dOmicil,
are now engaged in manufacturing public
sentiment in favor of granting away the pub
lie domain to aid railroad building. The alb
surdity of this policy is seen, when we look
at the thousands of miles which have been
built, in the Far West, within the past seven
years, without any land grant Mt all. Rail-
road construction stands in no need of stim1-
latiOn Just now, and both of these concerns
are boasting of subscriptions for more capital
than they need.
Moreover, In the case of the Texas Pacific,
whose United States grant has still two years
tO"run, there is the further Inconsistency that
long before this renewal grant takes effect
railroad will have been constructed through
it, along its whole length. Tho public lands
for this thirty-seCOnd parallel road were all
west of Texas, and the road across California
has long been built by California company
which has extended its road across Arizona,
and is now nearing the New-MexicO boundary,
about 200 miles distant from the Rio Grande,
with its grading. At the present rate OF
progress mile per day, the track of this
road, working east, may be expected Mt the
frontier Of Texas by midsummer of next year,
and certainly by the following Spring. The
temerity of asking Congress to tie up belt
of lands, eighty miles wide and 600 miles long,
between the Rio Grande and Colorado River,
80 that neither the granted nor the retained
sections can be occupied, sold or put to use,
for the benefit of company which can have
no expectation of, or motive for, building a
mile of road through it, surpasses ordinary
comprehension, and argues great presumption
on the part of the lobby, or great cOmplals-
ance on the part of the public guardians. Ii
would be an anomaly in legislation to see O
grant of some 100000 acres of land with
drawn from market to aid in the construction
of n railroad which has already been bnllt
through it, without aid but this is precisely
what we may expect, if the lobby can have
its way. Ii will be q curious spectacle to note
lust where these schemes find their support

ably he expected, but the fact that the mills are
so largely employed on advance orders ts nkeIy
to delay the desirable adjustment OF prices IoE
time. The price of cotton fell to 11s4 Genus TOT
middling uplands, and printing cloths are quoted
at cents for "a squares at Fall River but large
additional orders for brown cOttons and OCner
domestic goods were placed with manuractuIers
by exporters, and there were 64,571 pales Oh
raw cotton exported last week, against 3s'OOo
bales for the corresponding week last year.
The exports from the beginning of the crop year
to date are still $4,000 bales below those OF
last year to the same date, but the stock on
hand is $50, 1863 bales more than 1t was then aC
the sea-ports, and 133, 642 bales more at the
interior ports, or 394,011 bales larger In all
Moreover, Ellison's report for March states that
the average weight per bale this year 1s 400
pounds, against 473 last year, or an average OF
2l9 per cent, so that crop Of 6,6OO,OOO bales
this year would be equal to $40, 900 bales OF
last years weight, and the stock on hand now
500, 139 bales at all ports, would be equivalent
to 800, 767 bales of last years weight, though
the stock was then only 1928 bales.
The bank statement last week received the
less attention because the money market was
quite easy, but the fact should nOt.be overlooked
that specie continues to disappear in remark
able way. The loss last week was 81 OCT 200,
and since March it has been about SO, 100000 D
though the specie in the Treasury has increased
only 81, 1000 during the same time, and the
reserves in the banks of Boston and Philadel-
phia have not been aDprecably increased. 1t
would be worth while for bankers to ascertain
before long what has become OF the $S,OOO,OOO
in specie which has thus vanished from sight In
seven weeks, and whether there is any reason to
look for a similar drain hereafter. The move
ment to foreign ports has been insignificant in
effect for the exports since March from this
porC amount to only $195596 in gold, against
$3.50, 427 imports. Secretary Sherman and the
members of Congress may well consider whether
the continuance of silver coinage has anything
to do with this unexplained disappearance OF
gold, and should also take INTO account the fact
that all the gold produced by the mines within
two months has also been absorbed In such
way that it does not appear in reserves OF the
Treasury or the banks of the chief commercial
cities

The positions, not the names, Of the SIX

that Lord Northbrook would be First Lord of

cert, no i'll results may follow this unexpected
allotment.
: 1t is reported from Washington that the pres
emit investigation ut West Point may result IN
the removal of General Schofeld. Some years
ago that little patch of territory on the Hudson
was erected into Military Department, nomi-
nal!y equal in rank to the great Military Depart
mcnts, some of which cover dozen States.
This was done in order that General Schotield
might be appointed to the command of it, and
his removal can be effected by simply reducing
the Department of West Point to its old
rank as military post, when he must
needs be transferred to other duty. General
Schofeld's history is one that would inspire
kindly Judgment, but he has been his own worst
enemy of late. His mistakes have been fire.

Mr.. w. B. Hazleton, of The Baltimore AMER
lean writes from Richmond about the capit.-
ton tax:
The fact is that the capItation tax has really
become merely an instrument for securing
votes for candidates. and it can be used as ei
fectually by republicans as by democrats. Il
makes the campaign costly-that's all. Indeed,
that staunch old democrat congressman Ran,
Tucker, said to me very frankly that if the tax
was simply to turnsll-as in the last election
an opportunity for buying voters, he Tor one
was in favor of abolishing it. When suggest
ed TO another gentleman of scarcely inferior
standing that in the next State canvass the
tax would be a standing invitation to the re-
adjusters to poll the colored vote in into rest he
replied that the debt-payers could pay more
taxes for the blacks than their rivals.
The capitatIon tax restriction is source of
unlimited corruption, as we'll as in conflict
with the spirit of republ can institutions.
