Withdrawal of Public Lands.

N. o. City Item
The resolution introduced by
Hon. s. M. Robertson, and pass
ed by Congress a day or two
ago, Withdrawing Louisiana
public lands from sale, is II meas
ure that meets with The Items
hearty approval. The effect of
the resolution is limited to the
term of the present Congress,
but this limit was made only be-
cause a much more comprehen-
sive measure, introduced by Mr..
Holman, from the committee on
public lands, is now before the
House, and is likely to pass at
the next, if not this session.
Mr.. Holman's bill after provid-
ing for the sale of mlNeraI and
timber lands, and the entry of
desert lands, declares that all of
the public lands of the United
States adapted to agriculture
shall be reserved Exclusively for
actual settlers under the provi-
sions of the homestead law.
The passage of Mr.. Robert
sons measure comes none too
soon. The advantages offered
by Louisiana to immigrants are
becoming widely known, and
are now attracting the attention
of capitalists. Already immense
tracts have been bought up by
capitalists at 81 25 an acre, and
are held for $40 an acre or at
higher prices.
Some of these spectators, it
is true, have been active in
bringing in a valuable class of
immigrants, thus b%enefting the
State as we'll as their own inter-
ests.
But with the remaining pub
lie lands reserved for homestead
entry, and with an energetic
Board Of immigration, there
would be a good prospect of
soon filling these idle lands with
settlers.
Capitalists have many ave-
NJ
nues of profitable investment
without acquiring monopolies in
public lands. Let what is left
of public property in the soil be
free to the people without the
intervention of middlemen and
spectators.

An immigration Convention.
N. o. Times Democrat.

N. U. Times Democrat.
Some months ago, the Times
Democrat suggested that q con-
vention be held here of citizens
of Northern birth now residents
of Louisiana who could bear
testimony to the advantages
this State offers immigrants,
and satisfy their former fellow
citizens that they would do we'll
to settle here. The ideT, Of such
a convention was not our own.
Such a meeting was first called
i'm North Carolina some time ago
and proved a great success. 1t
was found that there were set
tied in "the old North State :"
former citizens of almost every
State north of "the line" They
met, discussed its advantages,
and issued the strongest immi-
grafton appeal we have ever
seen sent out. New Englanders,
New Workers, men from Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, and all portions
of the West bore testimony to
the fact that they had improved
their fortunes in Carolina ; had
prOspered there beyond their
belief that any former fellow
citizen of theirs who moved
South, if industrious, energetic
and temperate, weuld meet>with
the same success. We suggest
ed the calling of a similar con-
vention in Louisiana. Col. Geo.
Norman has moved in the mat
ter and selected the vesy middle
of the suNmer for it, in order to
emphasize the fact that here at
least, on the gulf coast, the sum-
mer is cooler than in the North
or West. The convention will
meet at Grunewald Hall, Tues
day, August z, and will consist
wholly of gentlemen formerly
residing in the North, but now
in Louisiana, who will give their
views IF this State and draw a
comparison between it and their
former homes. The letters from
them in response to Colonel
Moorman's invitation printed
this morning give some idea of
their sentiments ON this subject.
Their speeches and resolutions
will be embodied in pamphlet
form and circulated, as an i'm
migration document, in the
North and West.

The Good Fruits of Confidence.

My experience with criminals,
when | was on the district bench,
taught me that there was no
man devoid of manhood. Place
anybody, depraved, on his man
hood, and you will observe his
eye brighten up. | have taken
men who have been convicted
of serious offenses, and after
sentencing them to the peniten-;
tiary have said "NoW, [ intend
to place you on your manhood,
for l believe You have manhood
in you. I will give you a NIT
timus, and the marshall will
provide You with money to go
home and bid your family good
bye. After you have stayed
there q day or two I want you
to report at theuloor of the pen
itentiary named in the papers
you will receive and serve your
sentence like . man. And when
You are through, I want you to
return to me, and | want to see
what can be done to restore you
to the confidence ofyour fellow
men in society" I never was
disappointed in a man I thus
trusted, and those convicts whom
I have helped on their return

faithful to the trusts imposed
upon them.-Judge Gresham.
