SUNDAY, OCTOBER 11, 189L KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. "Wanted Lincoln to Confiscate the Landed Estates of the Sonth. GEORGE W. JULIAS FEOM INDIANA WRITTEN roil TOE DISPATCH. No history of the Houfe of Representa tives duriug the period of which I -write would be complete without some notice of George "W. Julian. Julian belonged to a class who have always been regarded op prohriously as "fanatics." There is a cer tain philosophy in fanaticism which has not been generally recognized. Fanaticism has its use and purpose in the world, which in deed could hardly get along without it. It Is the fanatic who makes things move. The only trouble with him is that he is always in advance of his times. The world rarelv comes up abreast with him, and yet without him would make little, if any, progress at all along the line of reform. Fanaticism is the fuel of the engine, needed to put it in motion, though perhaps not altogether a safe conductor to trust with the running of the train. Julian had no sympathy with conservat ism, lie was a born radical, and had in herited an aversion to wrong in all its forms through a long line of Quaker ancestors. As Burdette says in his humorous biography of William 1'enn, "lie was a man of peace, and determined to have it if it took a life time of contention aud dispute to get it." This was Julian's fatu. Like many others, he was the creature of heredity and circum stance, which he wai powerless to control. He was carried forward on the path of life by a momentum that he did not create and was unable to resist, even if" he had de sired. A STOES1T POLITICAL CAEEFn. Julian was bom in Centerville, Iud., May 5. 1817; received a good common school educ&tinr, spent three years in teaching, studied law and waa admitted to the bar in 1840- was a member of the Indiana Legis lature aud a representative in Congress from 1MO to issi; was re-elected to the Thirtv-sevcnth, Thirty-eighth, Thirtv-ninth ana i-ortietli uongrescs, during which time he sened as a member of the Committee on the Conduct of the War a rather fctrango assignment for a Quaker. Julian'spolitical carter was an exceptional one. He was one of the original Free Soil and Anti-Slavery men at a time and in the midst of influences that were not onlv not in svmuathv. but fierueiy antagonistic to his views, and "it is a I tribute to tne remartaDl: character ot the man that, almost single-handed, he was able to convert the majontv of the people of his district to his wav of thinkig and to secure their support in his repeated canvasses for Congiess. Hccarriedonthewar agalnstslaveryat the risk of his life. He had not only to en counter the opposition of his political ene mies but also that of members of his own party, among whom was Governor Morton, an acknowledged power in Indiana. Xo man was ever ninre bittcrlr denounced than Julian. The Indianapolis Journal declared that he had "the temper of a hedge-hog; the adhesiveness of a barnacle; the vindict iveners of a Corsican, the vanity of a pea cock; the hypocrisy of Aminadab Sleek, and the duplicity of the devil. 'i This was cer tainly not a verv flatterinc picture. Julian took it all with unperturbed serenity, and seemed rather to enjov it "Xothine sue- cetis use success. Ana with success crowning every political contest he conld "veil afford to laugh at the impotent rage and harmles-s vituperation of his enemies, and was well repaid for his labors in seeing the principles for which he so zealously and he roically contended at last become the settled policy of the whole country, and imbedded la its fundamental law. nis potjlio iat LAW. But opposition to slavery was not his only hobby. He not only believed in free men and fr soil but also in free homes for free men. His attention was early directed to the pnblio land system of the "United Btates of whiA he acquired a more com plete knowledge perhaps than any man of his time. Appointed by Speaker Colfax to the Chairman shipof the Committee of Pub lic Lands of the House he entered upon a congenial field of labor, and addressed him self with his usual energy and zeal to the improvement of the public land system, and especially to the securing of the enactment of the homestead law, which had, after a lng contct, been enacted in a previous Congress but had been vetoed by Mr. Buchanan, because as was believed, "it was distasieful to his southern friends, and which finally became a law, by the approval of President Lincoln on Iav 20, 1SG2. The Homestead bill as iported by Julian's committee was much mutilated in its passage through Congress, end shorn of a carefully guarded provision Intended to prevent the public land from passir into the hands of speculators and corporations, and to preserve them exclu fcivelv for home- for American citizens. This aiutUation Julian greatly deplored but Tas powerless to prevent, and the result ho antiotoated and predicted has come about In the wistofnl squandering of empires of land by Congress. Julin. as I havo before Indicated, was a radical of the supreme type. He believed in rutting down the tree instead of manuring It and digging about it and trying it a little 1 onger ta seo if It would produce good fruit. He wsj Yrvntient of Mr. Lincoln's conser vatism in dealing with the rebellion, and thought it required more drastic treatment. HI3 CTJEE FOR KEBELUOST. He favored the confiscation of the landed estates of rebels as well as the abolition of Blavery, believing that tho former was the foundation and buttress of the latter, and reported a bill to confiscate such estates and then survey them in sections and sub divisions in accordance with the general land system, and brijg them under the pro vision of the homestead law for the benefit of thelandla-u poor of tho South. In the advocacy of this measure he was partici pant In a rather remarkable scene. Mal lory, of Kentucky, in the course of some remarks on tho bill, said: "Tne census re ports establish tho fact that SG per ocnt. of the colored population of tio free states have white blood In their veins, while onlv one-ninth of the slave population show white blood.,' Julian replied: "1 have not examined the census tables as to the lact stated by the gentleman. It may be true, for I believe mulattos more generally come Into the" Xcf thci?i St-itos than those of the darker color, and of course thoir Increase will he mulattos. The gentleman is not at all re lieved, however, by the white blood In the veinsof these negroes in theXorth, forthey have emigrated from the South, bringing with tbeni, perhaps, the blood of the gentle man from Kentucky and other distin guished leader of his party." The next dav, on tho report of the debate appearing in the Congressional Globe. Mallory iwe on a question ot personal privilege ana claimed that the allusion to him personally by Julian, as reported, was Jiot made by Julian in his speech, but had been interpo lated by him in his revision of the reporter's notes prior to thoir being printed, and called a number of his fellow-Democrats, who stated unequivocally that they had given cloe attention to "Julian's remarks, aud wcro quite suro that he had not used the -n olds. JDUAj; rnovED ms ponra. Julian replied that he had spoken in de bate the exact words complained of, and called a nnmber of his ltepublican Iriends to corroborate him. This left the matter in grave doubt, though tl.e preponderance was in Julian's favor, being positive as opposed to negative testimony. Julian, however, was not satisfied until he looked up the re porter s notes, w hich, Jortunately lor him. contained the very words in question. This settled It, and Mallory "took the water" as gracefully as was possible for a Kentuckian, though it Is probable that "it astonished bis ftomach mightily," ana made the amplest apology for his misteken accusation.

Johnson's Cyclopedia, 56,000,000 ems. Appleton's Cyclopedia, 60,000,000 ems. Encyclopaedia Britannica, i 40, 00, 000 ems. COMPARISON OF COST.-No other has spent one-third as much money on literary labor as the Britannica. Not one has given $10,000 for a single article, or $600 a page for written matter, as it has given. The Ninth Edition cost over one million and five hundred thousand dollars, and represents the labors of over 2,000 specialties and contains 25,000 subjects with 250,000 indexed refer ences. This work is pre-eminently the Encyclopae dia for our country and generation. Everyone that reads, everyone that mingles in society, is constantly meeting with allusions to subjects on which he needs and desires further informa tion, while few have the time to grope among a hundred different works for the requisite knowledge, and, moreover, in a country like ours, where the humblest may be called to positions of trust, requiring intelligence and general in formation, the value of such a work cannot be overestimated.

That The Encyclopaedia Britannica Appeals to AIL To the parent, because upon them more than upon all others is placed the responsibility of surrounding the young mind with the right kind of influences; they can, by a little per sonal effort, inculcate in their children a de sire for more extended knowledge of the nat ural sciences, and by an occasional reading to them from the Britannica, incite in them an inclination to know more of it, and thus lead them toward a real practical education mors practical often than they will obtain at their regular studies. To thestudent it appeals, for at no time in life is it so essential that the impressions made upon the mind and character shall be the most correct and of the high est order as. durins student life. To the teacher it appeals, for in tho thousands of perplexing questions which present themselves, re quiring research, the Britannica will render it easy to obtain all the information required, besides offering something new and -valuable at every turn of the page. To the artisan it appeals, for every trade there is stored within the Britannica a very mine of valuable information. Every artisan will make himself mors valuable and every mechanic will command better waees by using his spare time in the study of these books. He will obtain ideas that will be of constant assistance to him. To the professional man, the literary man, we would say if there is a man among you who does not realiza the great importance of possessing the Britannica, per mit us to send you a volume of the work for your ex amination, and we feel confident that your name will appear among the thousands of your professional brethren buyers of the Britannica.
