A strnngo Omisnlon.

In the land bill prepared by the
house of representatives, 1t is proposed
that not more than fifty sections IN
unorgani2ed and not more than 10000
acres in organized counties shall be
leased by any one man or firm. From
a sincere lease-law mans standpoint,
this may be regarded as "a wise pro-
vision and as just measure, alike to
lessee and to settler, But Is 1t not ex-
exceedingly queer that no provision Is
made against the rranster of leases {?
Under this remarkable bill, II
il becomes law, one man
or firm may succeed In
gobbling every acre Of unocoupied land
In counties organized or unorgsnized.
There is nothing In the world to pre-
vent mans sisters, his cousins and
his aunts nom leasing the legal maxi
mum quantity and turning It over to
the land-grabber. The lease-law men
have an overwhelming majority in the
legislature, and the lease-law men will
be RESPONSIBLE for the land legislation
enacted. Let them dare to turn the
public school lands OF the West over
TO syndicates and corporations In this
loose or premeditated manner, and
there will be q howl In 1856 that will
teach lesson never TO be forgotten.

A "HARDENEDu CRIMINAL.

The courts often contemplate men hardened
in crime, men who through years of offense
become reckless They have been appre-
hended and punished, it may be, until all
self-respect is lost and a kind of daring des-
peration takes possession Of them, and they
turn from punishment to crime with the
utmost indifference. The only retardng.infu-
ence Of punishment is its inconvenience--th he
sense of shame is lost. The conduct Of such
a man is easily understood. He feels that it
is useless to try to reform, for the reason that
he could not gain the respect and confidence
of his fellow-men if he tried Having argued
to this effect, he gives way to fate, as he terms
it, and goes on in his evil ways. But there
are hardened criminals who are not familiar
at court; trusted men like William T. Dor
rance the defaulting teller Of the Providence
National Bank. He is represented as broken
down and penitent, and has not the cir of a
called man who through period of years.
