Land Monopoly.

In the course of his argument on the
trade dollar and the duty Of the govern
ment to redeem it with u hundred cents,
Mr.. Nutting, of New York. touched en-
the influence of m flo.1llies, more es-
pecially the silver kings. In this connec-
ton he referred to the public lands of the
United States and The fact that they were
passing into the hands Of European syL-
dicates and capitalists in quantities thu t
ought to deeply concern this country. He
enumerated thirty-two companies and in
dividuals, subjects of Great Britain. with
one or two exceptions, which owned TO-
GAL 1856 acres, a great part of it in Texas
and Florida, and distributed about in
three or four other States and Territories.
Two English syndicates own. 100000
acres in Texas. Several other English
companies own about 100000 acres in
Florida, and about 100000 in West Vir-
ginia, and so on. This kind of land mo-
nopoly is not in accord with the spirit of
our institutions. The area owned by Eng
lish subjects, in the list enumerated, lis two
thirds as large as the English Island al
most as large as the entire State of New
York, and embraces as much as the States
of Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Mas
sachuset.s and New Hampshire combined.
1t is equal to strip ten miles wide from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. Certainly such
GENERALIZATION Of foreign capital in this
country is not the thing calculated to de-
velop our domain and strengthen our in
stitutions. 1t is the transfer of feudal
methods to America, and should be
watched,

Political Entanglements.

If anything could present more promi-
nently the inefliciency, growing out of par
titan madness, of the Legislature just adj
journed, than may be found in the follow
ing paragraph, we cannot we'll conceive it.
It is a brief communication, which ap-
peared in the Petersburg hsdec-Appecd, of
the 28th inst It will be seen from it what
an lnextricable muddle the whole question
of elections is involved by the crude laws
enacted. caused by reckless haste in push
ing through partizan bills, for the purpose
of concentrating unlimited power in the
Bourbon party. 1t is sad picture to con-
template and demonstrates to the people
the motive and the aim Of the Bourbon
party. The following is the paragraph
Owing to the use of the word freehold
err in the election bill passed by the late
assembly, occasion has been afforded to the
coalitionists to seek to enjoin every mem
Der of the electoral boards and every regis
trar and clerk appointed by such boards,
from performing the functions of their
offices. This action will induce counter
iniunctions against the old coalition regis
trars and clerks. and the singular spectacle
will be presented Of the election rights of
the people of the whole Commonwealth of
every town, county and suspended, to
await the conclusion of a political contest
between two parties. Not only this, but
every oflice-holder in the counties, towns
and cities will have his salary suspended
indefinitely by injunction, and we will wit
ness the most exciting political muddle
that ever was known in the annals OF Vlr-
ginia.

A Pithy Sentence.

A well known statesman of this country
once said when summing up the events of
a life time: youth is ablunder, manhood
struggle, old age a regret" He might
have added many more wonders, but they
are not necessary, for his aphorism ex-
presses much. Yet it is a well known
remedy PERUNA is, and what wondrous
cures it has performed. For the ills of
youth it is a. wonderrus specific. The
worry and tear Of manhood's struggle for
existence enfeeble his system, and he needs
such tonic and when old age comes on with
it's feebleness and regrets for failures and
mistakes, the great remedy, PERUNA, can
still be used with good effect, and if given
a fair trial will accomplish wonders.
