Courier: "When we read of meu or companies acquiring millions or hundreds of thou sands of acres of land, particularly in the Southern States, we cannot help thinking that there ought to be State lonrafnrthft States, and Congressional laws for the Territories, to prevent the acquisition of such immense domains hv a few men. The evil of it will be severely felt when the country becomes more thickly settled. We have had a touch of it in anti-rent troubles in New York, and it is the great evil and con stant source of riot and agitation in firoaf. Ttritain. We are just informed by telegraph of the purchase of 625,000 nf land in Florida by a syndicate of Northern capitalists, and we see that a stock ranche in Texas forty by sixty miles in dimensions, with 50,000 head of oakMft. has heen nurchased bv William Young and Washington Becker, of Mil waukee, tor S610.00U. Mail a uuzeu nnnntiM larcrer than most of the coun tifis of (leortria could be formed out of that ranche." It is a matter of surprise to many peo nle that srreat States like Texas and Florida should give away for that is really what such so-called sales amount to such vast tracts of land, and thu3 place themselves eventually in - the power of the men and corporations to whom they sell. We believe in doing everything reasonable to encourage en terprise and development; we believe in liberal charters and liberal aid, when practicable, to the building of railroads and other avenues of trade-commerce, in encouraging immigration, and all that kind of thing, but when it comes to giving away such vast territories within the limits of a State, we believe that to be a foolish policy. Suppose the men who secure these tracts feel dis posed to form combinations to control the States, what is to prevent them from doing it, if they are the shrewd men they would natur ally be supposed to be. Owning the land, as they do, they can people it with immigrants whom they can control, pretty much as the New England man ufacturers control their dependent laborers. Men who can control thou sands of square miles and thousands of people may become a dangerous ele ment and a curse, in the long run, in stead of a blessing. It is present good, at the risk of future evils. There are reasons, we know, and rea sons which are considered sufficient to justify such action on the part of the States in question. In one Florida about seven millions of acre3 in all a territory larger than several of our smaller States combined were trans ferred to Hamilton Disston & Co., of Philadelphia, the object being to have it drained and made available for agri cultural purposes, while the Texas ces sion to a Chicago company of a territory embracing many hundreds or square miles was to raise money enough to build a new State capital, a work which Texas, nourishing as she is, was amply able to do. It is bad policy throwing away dollars to save cents, and a worse policy to place such vast tracts in the hands of a few men, who thus become land kings and, to a certain extent, if they so choose, dictators of State poli cies. MONEY DONATORS. The chief aim in the existence of the United States Senate now seems to be to donate or appropriate money to every Bcheme, private and public, that may be suggested. It is a remarkably liberal body, and gives orders, so to speak, on Uncle Sam's Treasury, as if that old gentleman's resources were simply in exhaustible, and as if the only thing which troubled him was to find the shortest way to get rid of his surplus cash. When one of their body gets mixed up in a contest for the seat he occupies, which some other distin guished gentleman wants, they compen sate him for the trouble he has been put to by an allowance of eight or ten thousand dollars in cash, and assuage the wounded feelings of the fellow who was defeated by giving a pretty good round sum as a healing-plaster. That would be very considerate and very clever if it was their own money they were giving away, but those to whom the money justly belongs are not dis posed to look upon it in that light There is not a day some scheme, of greater or less proportions, - is not pre sented which asks for appropriations from thousands up' to millions, with pretty fair prospects of favorable and liberal consideration. If they keep on in the same lavish spirit they have manifested thus far, and the House aon t lop off, it will not take long to reach the substratum of Uncle Sam's pile and send him to borrowing. The increase of immigration since 1877 has been extraordinary. The num ber of arrivals fell off very greatly dur ing the hard times, but now it constant ly runs ahead of calculations. In 1879 the number landed in Castle Garden was 134,278; in 1880 the number jumped up to 320,880 ; in 181 to 441,000, and dur ing this year it will reach 600,000. We shall have 100.000 arrivals in May alone. Mr. R. G. Pitkin, of Louisiana, put in his application for the United States marshalship of that State before Jack Wharton's body was good cold, and got it. POLITICAL PROSCRIPTION. While there seems to be a disposition on the part of the Republican party managers to. bring the South totht front again as Hie section of political proscription, and the nngroes are being persuaded that they are very badly used, we quote the following, which is in point, from the Philadelphia Times: If Rhode Island had been a South ern State during the lust ten years, her constitution would have be a declared anti-Republican and representation in Congress and iu the Electoral College would have been denied her. Her con stitution is full of stale despotism and her discrimination against particular classes of citizens is in direct conflict with the spirit if not the letter of the constitution. The proposition to call a convention for the revision of the State constitution was submitted to the peo ple on Wednesday, but it is probably defeated, as it has been often defeated before ; but Rhode Island is a Republi can State and her disregard of the na tional constitution is pardoned. IN THE CAPITOL. THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER IM PROVEMENT BILL AGAIN IN THE SENATE. The House Committee Report Failure to Agree on the Senate Postal Appro priation BillThe Case of the Utah Delegates Comes Up and Wakes Up a Little Discussion. Rev. J. H. Pegram, of Winston, iu this State, has invented a railroad car-coupler which he is counting high upon, and for which he has filed an application for a patent. It is nrged as an evidence of the im provement in the system of Southern agriculture that five of the cotton States will raise their own supplies this year. Washington City has a population of 180,000. They are not quite all board ing house keepers. BrifflU' DUeSM, Plaeie., Kidney, Llnr r VwimmtJ DUeae. Hop Bitten, as uJ "J . he mads Washington, April 18 Senate. The Chair submitted a message from the President transmitting a recom mendation of the Mississippi river commission lor an appropriation or 81,010,000 for closing the existing gaps in the levees in addition to a like sum already estimated for. The President urges the early and ravorabie consider ation of the recommendation and calls special attention to the importance of tne subject, uraerea taDiea ana printed a bill on the subject being now before the Senate. The Senate resumed the considera tion of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers improvement bill. Harrison, who was entitled to the floor, yielded temporarily to Frye, a member of the committee from which the bill' was reported, who said that Northern and Eastern members of the committee, while appreciating the im portance of improving navigation, were opposed to allowing any part of the ap propriation to be used for the reclama tion of lands in the river States. They regarded the existing sentiment caused by tne recent overnow as a dangerous one upon wnicn to base legislation. The unanimous favorable report upon the measure was due to the proviso which prevents the use of money for the rebuilding of levees and this had been inserted without objection. He said he made this statement in view of the intimation thrown out yesterday by Kellogg tnat an amendment removing this restriction upon the expenditure of the money would not be objected to by the committee, and also in view of Jonas' amendment applying part of the appropriation to the levees. .Harrison, a memDer oi tne comrmc- tee on the Mississippi River improve ments, then addressed the Senate at some length. After asserting the ad miralty control or the United States over the entire navigable length of the Mississippi, and its jurisdiction over the improvements of navigation and works necessary to make the river a safe and constant outlet for commerce, he said nearly 14,000 navigable miles of t he main river and its tributaries were distributed among 18 States and three Territories, a region producing the larger part of the grain crop and the larger part of the cotton crop of the country, and that the work of provid ing a cheap and free highway for these products in their conveyance to con sumers of the Atlantic States and of Europe was obviously not a sectional but a national one. Speaking of the facilities of cheap transportation and free competition pertaining to river navigation as compared with oppres sive railroad rates, he remarked that upon the obstructing bars being cleared away and a uniform low water depth of 10 feet below St. Louis being attain ed, the shores of the Mississippi would practically be at tide water, that grain will go west and south, as well as east, to the river whenever rail road charges are oppressive. No act of Congress or of the States in his opinion could prove so efficient in peculating transportation charges as the law of competition between the improved na tural water ways of the country and railroads. This law bad feasibility and the sanction that no statutory tariff of rates could have. Referring to the ex penditures of the opening of the mouth of the Mississippi as having devolved upen Congress an obligation to im prove the body of the river, he added that the country would demand that the plan of improvement shall be shown to be practicable, and that the expenditures shall be limited to such works as are essential to better naviga tion. He believed that if Congress was assured that the sums voted would be applied directly and by the best methods to that end the necessary appropria tions would not be withheld. Harrison continued at considerable length in advocacy of the bill as it was reported. Kellogg and Jonas, members of the committee which reported the bill re plied to Frye to the effect that the question as to the levee system was to be left to the Senate and that they had reserved their right to offer amend ments to the bill. The bill was then laid aside informal ly until to-morrow and Davis, of West Virginia, called up the agricultural ap propriation bill. He stated that the total of the bill as reported was $414,780; being 19,100 less than the aggregate as passed by the House. The bill passed- Kellogg introduced a bill providing for the sale of public lands in the States of Mississippi and Louisiana to the New Orleans and Northwestern Rail road company. Referred. A message from the President was read on the subject of the circular in vitation extended to all indepandent countries of North and South America, to participate in a general Congress, to be held in Washington, D. C, on the 22d of November next, for the purpose of considering and discussing methods of preventing war between tne nations of America. Referred to the commit tee on foreign relations and ordered printed. Adjourned. Washington, April 10. House. On motion of Hammond, of Georgia, the Senate amendments were con curred in to the House bill establishing the United States district courts, with district officers in the Northern and Southern Judicial districts of Georgia. Neal, of Ohio, from the committee on civil service reform, reported back a resolution calling on the secretary of the navy for information relative to the appointment of professors of mathe matics in the navy. Adopted. Hiscock. of New York, chairman of the committee on appropriations, re ported a joint resolution appropriating 0405,000 to supply the deficiency in the appropriation for the public printing and binding for the current fiscal year. The joint resolution passed. The conference committee on the postal appropriation bill reported a dis agreement with the Senate conferees, the point of difference being the Senate amendment increasing from 8500,000 to $650,000, the appropriation for special mail-facilitiea. On all other points the conferees were practically agreed. The report was agreed to. A new confer ence was ordered and Caswell, Came ron and Ellis were reappointed as con ferees on the part of the House. The Utah election case was then taken up, and Hazleton, of Wisconsin, was the first speaker in support of the majority report of the elections com mittee declaring that neither Cannon nor Campbell is entitled to a seat as delegate from Utah Territory. The committee then waived the ques tion as to whether Cannon was a natu ralized citizen, and the whole case had rested on the question as to whether or not he was disqualified on account of being connected with and a champion of the institution of polygamy. House, of Tennessee, Combatted the position taken in the majority report as violating all law and disregarding all precedents in claiming the right ana legality to exclude a Territory from representation. If the legal conclusions contained therein were concurred in. the next Delegate from Utah might be kept out of his seat because he took his "whiskey straight," instead of using sugar. The conclusion of his speech was de voted to a criticism of tne anti-polyga my bill as being unconstitutional and as providing that the neonlfl of Utah should be placed under the dominion of a returning board. The matter then went over for the day. Walker, from the committee on for eign affairs, reported a bill for the as certainment and settlement of the French spoliation claims, which went to the House calendar. Adjourned.

The Richmond and Danville Railroad Company's statement of the earnings of the road for the six months ending March 31, 1882, is as follows: Gross earnings, $2,023,377.18, which is an in crease over the six months ending March 31, 1881, of $212,022; expenses for the six months ending March 31. 1882, $1,212,738 82, being an increase of $170,000 over same period last year. The net earnings for the six months just ended are, therefore, $810,638.36 an increase of $42,031 over tne six months ending March 31. 1881. As will be seen, the expenses are very little more than 50 per cent, of the gross earnings. The Jesse James Slayers Sentenced and Pardoned. St. Josepit, Mo., April 18.

From Andrew's American Queen. CLEOPATRA OR THE QUEEN OF SHE3A S BEAUTY WAS BUT SKIN DEEP. The renowned Queen of eh6ba, with all her royal pomp, magnificent apparel, and brilliant retinue, would never have appeared within the presence of the grandest of the monarchs of the past, had she not also possessed that which it is the crowning glory of the female person a skin unchallenged for its Oriental softness and its almost transcen dental purity. Cleopatra, holding emperors at bay, and ruling empires by her word, had Quickly lost her charm and power by one attack of blotches or of pimples, or of horrid tan and freckles. WOMAN RULES THE WOBLD by her beauty, not less than by her purity of char acter, loveliness of disposition and unselfish de votion. Indeed, in the estimation of perhaps too many men beauty in a body takes precedence over every other consideration. Beauty thus forms an Important part of woman's "working capital," wlthoutf hich too many, (if not bankrupts in what relates to influence within the circle where they move,) are powerless for great good. Hence we see not only the prop riety but the duty cf every lady preserving with zealous care that which to her is essential to success, and influence, and use fulness in life. And, since "beauty is but skin deep," the utmost care and vigilance are required to guard it against the many Ills that flesh Is heir to. Among the great and annojlng enemies of beauty, OF EITHER SEX, as well as of comfort; happiness and health, aro those pestiferous and horrid skin disease tetters, humors, eczema, (salt rheum,) rough and scaly eruptions, ulcers, pimples, and all diseases of the hair and scalp. For the cure of all these, Dr. C. W. Benson, of Baltimore, after years of patient study and investigation devoted to diseases of the skin, at last brought -forth his celebrated SKIN CURE, which has already by Us marvelous cures, established itself as the great remedy for all dis eases of the skin, whatever be their names or character.
