Land Monopolies: A short time ago 4e published a pe lilion, which has bepn circulated quite extensively throughout different pois tions of .tho country, praying Congress V j t&'ce&se granting land subsidies for the "construction of railroads, or other inter nal improvements. The circulation of this petition has elicited considerable comment from the press, as well as from private individuals. 3Iany of our citi' sens eem ? to regard this as a petition against subsidies in land subsidies only. The granting of general, instead of subsidies for the construction of railroads and other im portant; improvements is almost imper jativ in certain locations, but these ahould be given in tboney or bonds. It has been suggested, and with con siderable show of probability, that the cause of the present! degeneracy of the French people, and he collapse of the French Government, may be traced to the effects of the present system of land proprietorship known as petite culture. The question of land proprietorship had attracted considerable attention, and when the Constituent Assembly met in 1789, one of its greatest tasks was to deal with the land question, The pub lic domain had settled down into the hands of a few individuals and Corpor .ationa the Church and King, and the noblesse. The poor man struggling for support and: subsistence, had to pay heavy taxes to support the Govern ment, and to run fthe State machinery, while, in excess of selfishness, the rest ,of the property was untaxed. The legislators of the; great revolution made short work , of this system ; but it is doubtful if the other extreme which they have adopted is much better than the former. Under the present system, cvey man having his own land to live upon has been tried, and shown its ef fects; and if they are not as horrible, they have been little less disastrous. This system has been favored by Mr. Mill for Ireland, but the opponents of the system say " That the small propri etor, in hi3 continuous struggle for bread, strikes into ths condition of la borer, and ceases to be an independent man. AH his thoughts are turned on eelf. He has no time for books ; edu cation in his thankless eyes appears ot little use to him, and he sinks into the Stolid indifference which we now see exhibited by the French nation." However much we may endeavor to "blind ourselves to. these matters, we .cannot but see that this system of petite .culture is far more degenerating to the people' at large than landed corpora tions, yet we contend that this should be avoided, and allow the lands to be taken up and used by actual settlers as they see fit. Even though in pursuing this course lands may eventually work into the hands of large property holders, yet it is not so liable to do so as by the policy .of granting subsidies. And in a country like ours, where property is continually changing hands, and where political changes are continually taking placet there is but little fear that any great and growing evil can run for any con siderable length of time without being .checked. This is why the present move is being made the people have seen this evil of landed monopolies growing upon them, and have concluded, if pos jsible, to abate it. The Ilepublicans, ever on the alert to adopt any measures or the public weal, when they have the power, will see to it, that pro jper steps be taken in the matter. Stqc. Dyiao in Douglas County r-We see by onr Douglas county ex changes, that cattle, sheep, and hogs jare dying aff in that county for want of food. This ig almost invariably the case jthere. The abundant summer range for .stock, .cmables the, Douglas county farmers and stock-raisers, to keep an almost unlimited amount of itock during the summer, bn JUtLa provision being made for winter, they annually lose enough through sheer starvation to near Jy pay their taxes, if the same were ta ken care of and old at the usual spring prices. Kconomy. without regard to the jsuuenng or me starving srocit useii, jought to cause them to make a more abundant provision for their winters there, which are chtjracteristicallyvari j&ble and uncertain. ' ; A NEW TACK. We had supposed, after waiting two issues of the Christian Messenger with-1 out " seeing anything directed to the JlEPUBLipAN,, that the Messenger had concluded to let us alone in our blind ness, even though we might be a wor shipper of strange Gods. But it seems we are not to have peace, for the editor now, iosteap! of sticking to his work and proving his points, or owuing that wo were right and he was wrong, threat ens us with a hpst of communica tions which he says he has on hand, and as a commencement gave one last week from Parson U Now wo have no means of kuowing who Parson B. is, but pre sume he is a man of reliability, or the Messenger's columns would not be open to his communication. And whilo we feel diffident, without any assistance, to undertake a seige with a host of com municators, yet we trust that good may be accomplished, and if we are in error, that we may be convinced. As a starter, the Parson gives the following quotation from Timothy : '" And without controversy, great is the mystery of Godliness. God manifest in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen of Angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory and enquires of the editor of the Messenger, " modestly," what do you make of this? Now it seems rather strange to us that the editor of the Messenger should draw such documents as this upon us, when it is evidently the intention of the querist to get an explanation from the editor of the Mes senger upon the same point which has been at issue between the Messenger and the Republican. The Pardon does not make any attempt at an ex planation, but goes on to show from dif ferent quotations that Christ was not the only one called God in the Bible, and asks " the learned editor at Pallas for information was one of the jewish Judges the very God ? and his mater nal parent the mother of God ? an J were his sister godeC! ?" And wind up the senrence by saying, u No one will uppne that I am instituting any comparison between Jesus and a Jewi.b Jude." Now if this is not the object of the Parson in usinr theso expres sions, will he tell us what his object is? But we Ket a clue to the iutentions of the Parson in the conclusion of his ar ticle. In that he gives us to understand that it is futile for a finite mind to grapple with such a comprehensive sub ject as the divinity of Christ, and gives quotations from numerous writer of high rank to show, " that the moro they studied and wrote, the les they com prehended these great question. ,f Then the only way we see is for each to real and interpret for himself, in ac cordance with the bent lirht he can et, and stand or fall upon his own merits. We still see nothing to show to u that Christ was not God. We have given many passages to show where he was called so in the Bible, and could rrtvt nnrn lint tUo aAltnr nf Ti n XTa eenger tells' us, when we find such pas sages as " Everlasting Father, the cter- Son, &e.," applied to Christ, we may brand them as human folly. CLEAR Git IT. The following extract from a lecture recently deliered by Rev. Robert Col Iyer, shows the advantage of what is commonly called ' grit," to anyone wishing success in business : Every man who is doing any wort of work in Chicago, to-day was raised a poor man's sod, and had to fight his way to his place. Not one of them, as far" as I can ascertain, was a rich man's son, and hpd a good time when he was a boy, except that all boys should grow as strong as a steel bar, fighting their way to an education, and then, when they are ready, plunging into life with that traditional half dollar and a little bundle tied up in a red handkerchief, as I have observed all men start. I tell you that in five and twenty years, when most of us that are now in our middle ages have gone to their retribution, the men of mark in this country will not be sons of those whose fathers can give them all they wish for, and ten times more than they ought to have, but will be those who are brought up in farm houses and cottages, cutting their way through thick set hindrances of every sort ; and all the brown stone houses of this metro; olis will be as nothing to bring out the noblo man.

Congress, as well as the people gen erally, are considerably interested al ready in the coming centennial, and are taking active measures to have a general ju)ilee on the. one hnndredth anniver sary of American Independence. This is to be done by holding an Interna tional Exhibition of the products of the soil and mine, arts and manufactures, in the City of Philadelphia. The fol lowing is a resume of the Congressional Bill in relation to the matter. After a suitable Whereas, the Bill goes on to provide that an pxbibition of Arts, &c, bo held under the anspices of the Gov ernment, in the City df Philadelphia, in the year 187G. It is provided that a Commission, to consist of one from each of the States and Territories, be appoint ed to draft plans for holding the Exhi bition, and in conjunction with the au thorities of Philadelphia, fix upon a suitable place for holding it. The Com mission is to meet and transact their business in the City of Philadelphia, and that a majority shall have power to transact any business that may properly come before the Commission. The re mainder of the Act is as follows : Sec. G. And be it further enacted, That the Commission "shall report to Congress at the first Session after its appointment, a suitable date for opening and closing the Kxnibition ; a schedule of appropriate ceremonies for opening and dedicaiing the same ; a plan or plans of the buildings ; a complete plan for the 'reception5 and classification of articles intended tor exhibition; the re quisite Custom lluusc regulations fur the introduction into this couutry of the articles from foreign countries intended for exhibition, and fcuch other matters as in their judgment may be important. Sec. 7. And be it further enacted. That uu compensation lor services .vital bo paid to the Cummissiuuors or other officers provided by this Act from the Treasury of the United Sratos, and the United States liall not be liable fur any expenses attending ucb Exhibition, or by reason of the s t:ue. See. H. And bo it further enacted, That whenever the Pn-.-idt ut .thai I be informed by the (tovernorof th State of Pennsylvania that provision ha been made tor the t -rectum of suitable build ings lor the purpose, and (or lite e.x c'uive control by the Commision herein provided fr, of the proposed Exhibition, hd shall, through the De partment of State, make proclamation of the same, setting forth the time at which the Exhibition will open, and the p'ace at which it will be held ; aud he shall communicate to the diplomatic representative of ail nations copies of the same, together with ueh regula tions as may bo adopted by the Com missioners, fur publication in their native countries. ATrAt'KUl) HV A HilAlt. A Peoria correspondent 'f the Al bany Jieg inter gives the following parti culars of the attack of a bear upon a young lady of that place recently: " On the evening of the 2nd inst., a young lady of this place had go.e a short distance from her father's house, carrying a light in her hand, when she wh startled by a low growl, and a noise which resembled the footfall of some heavy animal approaching her immedi ate vieinjty. Being startled for the moment, she raised the light and peer ed into the darknessyand was soon en ahh'd to make out the caue of the dis turbance, for within a few yards of where she then stood, with distended jaws, she discerned a hu.ebcar making rapid strides towards her, with the evi dent intention of making an cveuing meal of her dainty person. Thinking that her best course, under the circum stances, was to put the greatest distance between herself and bruin, she turned and fled with rapid feet towards her father's mansion. But a few yards, however, had been compassed by her when the low, angry growl of the sav age brute, now within a few feet of his intended victim, made it painfully evi dent that bruin was the faster of the two in this fearful race, and some other-device must be adopted if she would escape his dread embrace. Sum moning all her courage, she faced her pursuer, flashing the light she carried in her hand almost in the monster's face. This seemed to astonish and cou fuso his bearVhip for the moment, and he turned as if to flee ; but his hunger seemed to get the better of his fears, and once more he turned and faced our heroine, and with savage growls and open jaws, seemed ready to j make the fatal spring. But the bold front and steady nerves of our heroine,! still wav ing the light in his eyes, kept the brute at bay, while she slowly retreated. At this juncture several children, who were eye witnesses of the scene we have been relating, at first not takm" in the full danger of our heroine, now boldly came to the rescue, and with their noisy clamor so frightened bruin that he took to the wools, and left our hero ine master of the positiou. j - STARTLING PHOI'OtilTlON. Under the above heading, the, San Francisco Chronicle gives the facts concerning a proposition before the Grand Jury of California. I say : ; " It is embraced in the case of the People agtinst Daniel McLaughlin which was argued before the Supreme Jadges in this City on Saturday last. Our readers will best understand the point involved by a brief statement of the facts ; McLaughlin was indicted by the Grand Jury of Sacramento for the murder of Luudholm. He wag tried in the District Court a few weeks since and after the jury had been out for a long while, on their representation that it would be impossible for them to aree, Judge Raraage discharged them from further consideration of the case, to which the defendant objected. A pe tition is now filed stating these facts, and the prisoner's counsel. James W. CofFort, demands the unconstitutional discharge of his client, on the ground that if subjected to another trial he will be twice put in jeopardy of his life, which is unconstitutional. As he is indicted for murder, he can be tried for no other offense, and his discharge must follow if the position assumed by his ingenious counsel be correct. The fact that the Supreme Judges took the matter under advisement shows that the arguments in support of this startling proposition have been impressive, and that there is something in it than the suggestions of au ingenious lawyer. Divested of verbiage, the point resolves itself practically to this: If any oue who commits the crime of murder can secure a disagreement of the first jury called to try the issue, his discharge follows, because his life cannot again be put in jeopardy. In a jury of twelve it requires ouly one obstinate man to cause a disagreement. A jury must be di.-eharged alter having: had the cae under con-ideration a reasonable length of time, and Judge Ramagc, in the McLaughlin case, did exactly what is done every day in our Courts. If the Judge cannot discharge a jury in a murder case, he cannot in a larceny or burglary case, and justice is virtually cheated of her dues. Should the Su preme Court decided in favor of the point raised by Coffort, there would be a general delivery of murderers from the State Prison who have been con victed, on second trial, of murder in the second degree or of m inslaugliter, and are serving out terms of imprisonment Besides this would be the ureal incen tive, in addition to that which already exists, of tampering with the jury; and that a jury can, under certain citeum stances, tampered with, is frequent ly illustrated in the Courts. Heretofore the decisions have generally been un derstood to be that where a jury disa grees, there was no such jeopardy of l.fe a contemplated by the Constitution but we understand that the counsel for the prisoner cited some very direct and positive authority sustaining his posi ttoii. i he judgement of the Supreme Court will be awtfitud with lively inter est. We clip the following from the Jack sonviih! iimest as the only solution ot Ml W . t f the Fay-Halls afiair reported last week An Attfmptki Mukikk. On Sat, urday last, while Senator Fay was seat cd in the Bella Union Saloon reading a newspaper, with his back to the door. . S. Ralls entered and without a word drew his pistol. Mr. Fay happening to glance up caught sight of the action, and springing to his feet had barely time to draw his revolver and present it, when Ralls fired, the parties being about six feet apart. The ball from Halls' pistol glanced along the arm of Mr. Fay's pistol, struck the end of the plate back and disabling the weapon, the parties being so close together that the powder burnt Mr. Fay's fingers and face. The ball split on the end of the plate, a part going through Mr. Fry's coat, pocket book and striking the second rib on the right side, inflicted a painful flesh wound ; while the con cussion of the blow on the pistol caused it to inflict painful wounds on the hand and fingers. Ralls immediately up on firing retreated to thestrcets, and fired two more shots into the saloon at Mr. Fay, who was virtually disarmed, hapi ly, howeveT, inflctlngno other damage. A more deliberate attempt at murder was never perpetrated in this State. We understand the proper steps have been taken to bring the attempted mur derer to justice. Bound Over. James I). Fay and V. S. Ralls were each bound over .yes tcr day, before James R. Wade, in the sum of 2,000, to keep peace. From Josephine County.- A friend writes us from Josephiue that the debt of that county has been reduced to less than 3,000, and that it is the intention to pay it all off this year. He also in forms us that there is ample range in that couuty for 100,000 head of stock, and a largo importation is expected this season. It seems to us like folly lor our stock raisers to go off East of the moun tains in search of grass when there is uch splendid openings in an adjoining 'county, and that too, where their stock is not o likely to be killed off by hard winters and snow storms.
