CARLISLE, PA.,
Thnrailny Morning, Blwy 13.1870.
RODUINQ me I‘EOW.E OP THEIR
LANDS.
Of the many schemes concocted of
lato years by which rich men are made
richer and the poor men poorer, the
granting of millions of acres of the pub
lic lands to railroads, is perhaps the
most unblushing and bold. It may not
be known to all men that this country
owns 'hundreds of *rail/ions of the best
land in the world. The Into Robert J.
Walker, who was a close observer and
adroit financier, was of opinion that the
public lands owned by the government,
if carefully surveyed and honestly sold;
would realize a sum sufficient td pay off
every dollar of the National debt. This
being the case, is it not wonderful that
it is not done? But instead of this—
instead of cutting up those immense
tracts of land into one and two hundred
acre farms and selling them to poor
men—we see Congress voting hundreds
of millions of acres to mammoth rail
road companies—to companies'owned
and controlled and managed by the
nabobs of out, country. These lands
belong to thePEOPi-E, and Congress has
no more right to vote them away than
they have to vote private property
away.
We have been led to these remarks
because of. the action of the House on
the 2Sth ult. During the ontue session
of CongrO'S, the lobbies of bt#h Houses
have ‘been filled with men—the paid
agents of heavy capitalists—who have
been working, day in and day out, to
induce Congress to make a present of
NINE HUNDRED AND FORTY
THOUSAND ACRES of the people’s
lands to a certain projected rahroad in
Oregon I This proposed railroad, when
completed, will be owned by New York
and Massachusetts capitalists., When
this bill of abominations—this corrupt
and slimy anaconda—was first mooted
v in Congress, it appeared to have no
friends. But the borers for the project
never despaired, but continued.to work;
unceasingly. Finally, on Thursday of
last week, the friends of the bill, feeling
that they had, by hook or by crook,
—.j—Hii fnr. the mammoth
swindle, forced a vote upon it. neii.*©
the vote was taken, Mr. Holman and
others spoke thus:
Mr.-Holman said that tVHs bill appro
priated 940,000 acres of public lands.—
He had stated on a former occasion that
there were ninety bills pending appro
priating 100,000,000 of acres, but he bad
since learned that the estimate was far
below the reality, and that the number
of bills pending was over 170, appropria
ting over 250,000,000 of acres.
Mr. Van Wyck suggested that, as this
was an important bill, and would give
rise to considerable discussion it bo
allowed to go over; so , that the House
should proceed with other business.
Mr, Fitch ‘objected to that, and said
that the friends of the bill were ready to
meet the discussion.
Mr. Holman proceeded with bis argu
ment against the bill, and reminded the
House of the resolution adopted by it on
the 21sfe of March last, on his own mo
tion, declaring that the system of grant
ing public lands to railroad and other
corporations should be discontinued.—
Was the house to go back on that solemn
resolution at the arrogant demand of
lobbyists and monopolists, and specula
tors ? Was the country to imitate the
feudal system of niodheval Europe, by
bestowing vast tracts of land? on Individ-,
nals, instead of keeping the public lands
for homesteads for industrious poor men ?
He hoped the House wbuld not any
longer encourage that policy. Since the
establishment of the Government there
has been given away 185,000,000 of acres
of the public lands‘to build up the for
tunes of crafty and unscrupulous men.—
No less than 150,000,000 had been grant
ed to corporations within the last ten
years. If that policy were confined, it
would not'he long till there would lie no
public lauds left, for homestead and pre
emption purposes, for which overtoil,
millions hail been taken last year
He sent -to the Clerk’s desk and had
read a remonstrance from workingmen
of New York against further absorption
of .public lands by Railroad corporations.
Mr. Maynutd asked where that paper,
came frem.
Mr. Holman said it came from New
York, right I'mdelr the shadow of the
princely palaces where the men.iived who
were urging the passatre of such bills.
Mr. Sargent. What prevents these
men of New York from goincrout to the
West and occupying the public lands.
Mr. Holman. Are they not going at
t he rate of a million a year.
Mr. Sargent. They only go where the
railroads have gone before them.
Mr. Holman proceeded with his argu
ment, ami had read by the Clerk a letter
from Amos Sanford, President of the
‘ State Labor Union of Kansas, thanking
him for his action in behalf of settlers,
and a Joint resolution of the Ohio Legis
ture instructing its Senators and Repre
sentatives to vote against further grants
of land to railroad corporations.
Mr. Roots remarked that that was the
Legislature which had rejected the fif
teenth amendment.
Mr. Holmnu retorted that the gentle
man from Arkansas was interested in
the bill and wanted everything free, ex
cept the lands and the people, of the
United (States.
Mr. Wood corroborated the statement
of Mr, Holman, said that when in Eu
rope last year he found in Frankford.
Paris,..find London representatives of
Ametfcah' railroad corporations borrow
ing money onv>the security of the lands
granted to,them by Congress, showing
conclusively 'that those lauds formed
their only capital.
Mr. Holman continued his argument
and quoted articles from Republican
newspapers in condemnation ot land
grants. His point against this particu
lar bill was that It was the first bill of a
series which proposed to grant hundreds
oi millous of acres.
It was sought to ho forced upon the
House by a combination not in the pub
lic interest, but in the interest of private
fortunes. He protested against it in the
name of every’Ainerican, in the name of
every laboring man who came iiere from
abroad, in the name of the future, in the
name of the common Father of all, whose
justice and mercy are outraged in giving
to those already rich millions of acres of
the public lands, and in condemning
countless thousands to poverty, wretch
-ednessHmd-tmacryrHfcrpi'otesied against
it in the name of humanity and of the
light of man to labor.
At the conclusion of Mr. Holman’s
speech tlie vote was taken, and, as usual,
■nearly one-third of the members of the
House were not in their seats. On the
passage of tlio bill, the yeas and nays
were demanded, and were as follows:

The bill having previously passed
tho Senate, it has received the Presi
dent’s signature, and is now a law. By
this bill 9-10,000 acres of the best land in
America, valued at millions of dollars,
has been given to grasping speculators.

Some few of tho Radical journals are
jubilant over the passage, by the House
of .Representatives at Washington, of
Mr. Dickey’s bill directing the Secretary
.of the Interior to place on the pension
list tho name of the widow of Abraham
Lincoln, at tho rate of three thousand
dollars a year, from the (late of tho pas
sage of tho act. This is but ip accordance
with tho precedent of reckless extrava
gance which they have established; and
although there are many of the most
prominent of that party who .denounce
•in uuotihtotl tormo tho bogging propon
sity of Mrs. Lincoln, there is no reason,
which they cm consistently allege, why
she should not bo provided for as well
as the fapiily. of Stanton, or any other
defunct official. Of course, it wouldn’t
bo “loyal” to provide for tho toiling,
needy daughters of Chief Justice Taney,
and yet wherein is a just construction
of his Dred Scott decision more offen
sivo to their negro-relishing nostrils,
than the utterances of Mr. Lincoln with
reference to the political and civil status
of tho. colored man ? “ The Great La
mented,” were he living to-day, would
he immeasurably behind tho standard
of his party, unless, like tho rest of them,
ho had ignored honesty, abandoned his
old views, and “progressed” with them
for tho convenience of their political
purposes.
The Pittsburgh Weekly- Post says
Radical retaliatory hate is meeting with
almostcoustautdiOcK,cvo» in iiiuiiouso
of its friends; and there are daily indi
cations of returning sense and justice to
many of that school who have hitherto
been apparently insensible oven to fear
or shame. The conservative character
of the’ United States Supremo Court is
sustained by Chief Justice Chase in a
decision so manifestly just that the only
surprise is that its principle was ever
questioned. Tho Court held thatloaniiig
money to the Confederate governraenti
when such loan was extorted by fear,
was,not an act giving aid and comfort
,to the enemy. This decision will relieve
many of the best Southern Unionists
from tho penalties which Radical legis
lation sought to impose upon them.—
.Thus another Radical prop has been
knocked from under them, and to a cer
tain extent will aid in checking the
indulgence of their hatred of everything
Southern.
Feed. Doug das takes kindly to the
Chinaman, but iiuu’t .rii.-ii tuc
man. In a recent lecture at Troy, New
York, he said of the Chinaman : “He
is a laborer; lie loves labor, and is just
tlie one we want, for Biddy and Sally
will wear a waterfall as large as their
mistress now, and we have a negro in
Congress, and -we shall need some one,
to do onr work.” On every conceivable
occasion the Radicals have sought to
elevate the negro over the Irish. Now
■the negro is readv to elevate the Chinese,
over tlie Irish. The Negro and the
Chinese pulling together hope to enlarge
the' political of (he dark races,
thestngnant races, oyer the Anglo-Saxon
and the Anglo-Celt, as well as over ev
ery other foreign clement.
The American Medical Association,
which met hi Washington city, on Fri
day last, laid on tho table, by a vote of
10G to 60, a resolution declaring that
“no distinction of race or color- shall
exclude persons claiming admission to
the society who are duly accredited
thereto.” Tlie doctors know too much
concerning the physiological and phren
ological differences between the Caucas
ian and the African to be humbugged by
the demagogue’s catcli word, equality.
BSfTho negroes of Philadelphia, not
withstanding they have not been en
franchised a month, arealready wanting
some of the crumbs. At a recent meet
ing of the negroes of the Eighth Ward,
Philadelphia, one Willi m D. Forten
said, in his speech, that “they (the ne
groes,) hold the balance of political
power,” and that “ they should guard
it well, and demand some of the crumbs ,
something to live on, as other people.”
The Tariff Is likely to remain ns it is
for another year. It has been debated
to death, and in such a shape that a
member of more than ordinary e'ear
ness declared the devil himself couldn’t,
understand it. The wisest course, per
haps, that could be taken would be to
let it stand for ten years, to give an op
portunity to Congress and the country
to settle its other affairs.
tlSylt is reported that seven more
Senators have given in their adhesion

Why not, if it is also true that tlio coffee
of the island has been bought up by tlio
Washington speculators. That will bo

amazingly full.
The gun which John .Brown carried
at Harper’s Ferry Jins turned up. It
lias long been known that his body lies
mouldering in tlio grave and that Ids
soul is marching on, hut what could
have become of tho most valuable part
of the concern—tho gun—has always
been a mystery. They say now' that it
is for sale in Now York.
The Massachusetts Legislature has
abolished the reading and writing qual
ification of voters. That qualification
wnsordained to disfranchise white men;
it has boon repealed to help tlio negro.
This is the “progress” of which tlio
Massachusetts politicians boast so much
and so loudly.

As hungry a pack of hounds'as ever
stopped at al post is n6w to be found in
tho mongrel party. Many of them
tliiuk that because they have secured
the uegro vote, they will bo enabled to
do with'the white men of the Slate just
ns they see proper—can use id nr to assist
in electing just whoever tho negroes
want, and then rob him as much ns they
desire, to fatten their office holders and*
feed darkeys. Believing (ids, there is
scarcely a leader among them lad is
looking lor some position into which,
he expects the niggers of the ■'■date and
tho white masses of his party to place
him, and tho consequence is that already
some twenty aspirants have announced
themselves as uvndidalei for Guberna
torial honors, notwithstanding the fact
that party nominations for that position
will not ho made for over a year from
this time.
After alluding to this thirst for office
on the part of Radical politicians, the
iiellefonto Watchman continues thus;
The ones who are licking their lips tho
most eagerly are Col. Lisiie l avis, of
piiiladelphia ; General W. Selfridge, of
Northampton, late Clerk of the House
of Representatives; E.,W. Kctchum, of
Litre rue county ; Howard Hay, the tan
colored African orator; Gen. Hartranft,
of Montgomery county, at present Au
ditor General; Colonel H. L. Cake, of
S huylkillcounty, now in Congress; G.
-Dawson Coleman, of DeUunOn, formerly
State Senator; Lemuel Todd, of Cum
berland, an old politician; James H.
Campbell, formerly of Schuylkill, now
of Philadelphia, iate minister to .Swe
den ; Wayne McVeigh, of Chester, son
in-law o Simon Cameron ; John Cessna,
~f Bedford, Chairman of the Committee
of the Whole in Congress and formerly
of the Charleston Convention ; Harry
White, the Indiana Gas House; Horace.
Porter, one of Grant’s Nose-wipers;
James L. Graham, tho sanctific Senator
from Allegheny, who-deserted his pul
pit to play penny-dog for darkeydom ;
George F. Lawrence,of Pittsburgh; E.
Billingfelt, Senator from Lancaster; old
daddy Worthington, of Chester county.
Also, Thomas E. Cochran, of York, at
ono time Auditor General; Francis
Jordan, Geary’s Secretary of the Com
monwealth, now of Dauphin, formerly
of Bedford; D. J. Morrell, of Cambria,
the pig- metal poet of Congress, and Col.
J. M. Campbell, of Cambria, now Sur
veyor General.
To this list might very appropriately
be added the names of some hundreds
of others, black and white, members of
the mongrel party, as none of them
were ever known to refuseany position,,
no matter how small or debasing, that
they could get into, and live off tho la
bor of others, without working them
selves.
HERDERS IN ALABAMA.
The Mobile Register calls the attention
of the Democratic press of the North to’
the fact that white men who refuse to
affiliate with the negro party in Ala
bama, are deliberately murdered by
Radical office-holders and tlieir black
alljes. The Montgomery Mail gives the
following instances of cold-blooded po
litical murders recently perpetrated in
that State, and winked at by the Radi
cal authorities:
Joshua Morse, the Attorney General,
murdered the editor of the Choctaw Her
ald. Vernon Vahghan and a man named
Smith, a radical Professor and cadet of
the State University, murdered a citizen
named Bird, and also the editor of the
•Tnakalnosa Monitor. Boyd, late radical
solicitor of Greene, murdered Charner
Brown, of Union, by stabbing him in the
back. Bralnard, circuit
gomery county, attempted to hvtVfdbr the
United States Collector, and did actually
murder his biother-ln-iuw. The Probate
Judge of Elmore, Dennis, made a mur
derous attack upon a citizen of this coun
ty upon the public streets.. One .lames
Carpenter, of Greene, a Democrat, was
murdered in cold blood, ami the < fiieers
of that county took no notice of it. . Sam
uel Snoddy, of.the same county, was
murdered by three black radicals, and
because, the citizens executed the law
upon the murderers thfcy have been per
secuted by the Governor and hia minions;
•A gallant young Democrat was murdered
on the highway below Evergreen by the
radicals who had already attacked him
on the streets and had been repulsed.
Major Ragland, of Morgan, a Democrat,
was shot down dead by bis wife’s side,
through the window of his house, at
night. No notice has been taken of the
murder by the authorities. The two
young' Pillows, both Democrats, wore
baibarously murdered and mutilated by
disguised bands of men. Six Democrats
have been murdered at a swamp near
Selma. The negro army from Stanton’s
railroad murdered an inoftensiveold cit
izen near Asbvillo the other day. Rep
resentative. Springfield and his gang had
attempted to murder the Sheriff of St.
Clair county. Collins, a Radical State
officer, murders a radical ex-Congress
man in cold blood. He is rescued from
justice by a disguised band of radicals.
Here are twenty-one instances (which
we recall while writing this article,) of
murders or murderous assaults by radi
cals. These facts stand out in damning
refutation of the charge made by the
friends of the Governor that in every in
stance the victims of violence in Alabama
are republicans.. There has,been no un
usual number of murders and murderous
assaults in this Stale; but in the list of
su b as have occurred, wo solemnly be
lieve that a largo majority are eases in
which the offenders have, been radicals
and disguised bauds of radicals, and the
victims have been democrats. The cry
of ‘Ku-klux’ and ‘loyal victims’ is the
foulest slander ever concocted against, a
• peaceful people. It is the cry of the wolf
against tlie lamb- For lending counte
nance to this cry Gov. Smith will justly
deserve the execrations of all honest men.
He utters loud ami hypocritical lamenta
tions .over the death of a vile murderer,
a miserable wretch who stabbed his vic
tim in the back, ami who was afterwards
rewarded for his professed loyalty by the
wholesale gift of offices in defiance of the
wishes of the people. But the Governor
has no proclamation to offer against a
band of radical whites and negroes, who
inarched in armed array against the au
thorities and county site of Bt. Clair coum
- upmr
the march!
Senatoh Sbiiague thinks, says a
Washington correspondent, that the
effect of negro voting ip Rhode Island
will ultimately ho to make it a Demo
cratic State by tlio irritation it natur
ally creates among tlio white working
men.
"Attending negro meetings is tho
chief occupation of Radical office-hold
ers in Philadelphia at tho present time.
It is said not a night passes without
an assemblage in some part of tho city,
and these gatherings are invariably
managed by Republican officials.

Washington, May 7,1870.
It Is about time that some steps were taken
by tho people to coinpel Senators and Members
of Congress, to attend tl o sessions of their re*
spectlvo bodies. At a recent meeting,of the
Semite butyire members were present out of 72
nil told. Tho same slate of affairs prevails In
. tho House. Tho other day scarcely more than
one thiru of the members wore present, and tho
seargeant at arms was sent out to bring lu tho
absentees. Now, it may be amusing for Uio gal
lery loungers to sit and listen to Ibo ridiculous
excuses olfered by tho Honorable gentlemen,
initll Is rather expensive entertainment. Tho
salaries paid by their constituents are/supposed
to bo In lieu of services-rendered tho fJtute and
country, and are altogether 100 high for buf
foonery and neglect of duly. .Ills sheer robbe
ry” and nothing* else. It la said that there aro
certain members of'tho House drawing salary,
who havo scarcely been In Washington this
session. It Is true that very often tho country
woold ho bettor offlf these law-makers did not
cuso nor one they would bo apt to offer. By all
means let Congressmen and Senators show
some regard for the interests of those who send
them to Washington, and present tHo appear
ance, at least, of doing something to or.iri their
.money. If those now hero will not attend
their duties, let others ho elected who will.
Speaking of absentees, John Morrissey made
his appearance, the other day, for tho second or
third time during the session. It Is said that ho
Intends to resign his seat. John says ho bos
been In some pretty rough crowds in his time,
but ho never has been in a place where ho felt
exactly so unconWorlnblo as ho does in thp
House of Representatives, end maintains that,
his district Is a paradise computed with Wash
ington city.
Tho House has passed-tho bill granting a pen
sion to Sirs. Lincoln, but tho Senate committee
havo reported against It.' They allege that tho
estate of her deceased husband was worth s7s,ouo’>
that she was granted one year’s salary, amount
ing to 825,000 more; and sold effects amounting
to 810.000 more—tho annual Income of which
they think ought to bo BUfllclont to maintain any
ordinarily economical female.
Clenortil Hhormun in a letter written In oppo
sition to Logan’s hill for tho reduction of tho
army, says that his pay Is hardly sufficient to
maintain his family decently. If General Sher
man’s family cannot be kept decently on SlK.ooo
a year, he should resign and allow his place to
ho filled by some one whoso family could' bo
kept decently upon that trifling sum. Chief
Justice Chase can support his family very do-

some debate, the paragraph taxing "wool- on

Tho statistics of tho Mining census In my
opinion will show that the extinguishment of
ihe negro race Is onlj a question online. I have
recently come Into possession of tho following
faeUs: In Massachusetts there were about 10,000
Inhsvs tho greater portion of whom were In or
near Poston. From 1858 tho births among them
•were It;' and the deaths STD In Uoston. In all tho
Northern stales, from IsW to ISCO, Iho accroatlou
frvMU natural Increase, runaway slaves, maun
mil tod, etc., was only three per cent., 215,068 in
creasing In ten years to 228,218. Tlio estimate 1b
made that the race has diminished In tho United
States at least onc-thlrd since 18 CO. And it Is
riot surprising: when one pees tho terrible want
of foresight which pervades theentire race when
attacked by Illness. • It,was the master’s inter
est to enforce prompt attention In all medical
cases. Tho habit was thereby engendered in
tho negro of being attended to and cared for. and
ho was notified when hoouphtlobo physicked.
Now, In many cases unfortunately, they have
no money to pay for medicine nor a physician’s
prescription, and often neglect themselves until
Ills too iatc to cure them. In the case of child
*•oo 0101 the need u ta*r.» r worse. They nro ne
glected and they die. There nro not one-ftmrth
Mto average number of children from one to fonr
years old in negro families that there was In IfcUO,
or in previous years, 1 speak from personal ob
serration, nit well os from e.munlatlvo tcstlmo
uy. This Is sufficient fact upon which to figure
out their utter extinction, Irrespective of other
causes.’ It Is a current belief throughout tlio
South, th ough o feeling of kindness and pity ex
ists for the unfortunate race.
