EFFECT OF THE HERALD’S REVELATIONS. Utter Failure of the Jobbers and Their Schemes. THE SENATE AND THE THIEVES. WASHINGTON, April 2, 1872, ‘When I sat down to write my letter on the lobby Jknew I was duing a good work. 1 had seen these people, day after day, on the floors of Congress, in the corridors, im the lobbies of the House and the Senate, in the galleries, everywhere. A good round hot, I knew, would scatter them. ‘The wrath of the Hera, I felt, would be worth a hundred speeches, When the shot fell it fell like a thunder- bolt from 4 serene sky. It was as if the Nood gates Of heaven had been opened and a deluge poured Gown upon an amazed multitude lost in bewilder+ Ment at the sudden storm. For weeks the lobby bad been industriously at work. All their schemes Were ready. Congressmen had been “seen”? and ‘virtue had been bartered, The moment was oppor- fune, because the important jobs of the session— those which would shape the legislation of the Forty-second Congress—were then before, or about to come before, the House. Mr. John Stuart Mill's remarkable Image of the vultures preying upon the cople, with one greater vulture—the government ation, Was adehs Pecciving tie hignest sanction iis trath by the presence or the birds ol prey in the Capitol. Now the storm has cleared away; but Shough the vultures have flown they are not dead ‘The air is sweet again, but subject to tne atmos- pheric changes which may corrupt it im an hour. ‘This 1s a good time for a review of the defeat of the lovby, and a history‘o! their work, so far, in the present session of Congress, THE BAYFIELD AND ST. CROIX JOB. Itisa common remark that the Senate will pass @nything. It is a talking body fuli of so much purity ‘tbat no nnpurity defiles 1% Aud when it commits a Magrant and scandaious outrage upon the country it clings to the wrong to te end. This is notaviy Bo in the case of the Bayfleld and. St, Croix Ratlroad Jand grant swinadie, When the measure came be- fore the House for action it came with the sanction and endorsement of the Senate. Nobody liad seen fit to fight it 1n Wit ought to be termed in derision the ‘upper house.’? Even among the Represeata- tives au.easy victory was anucipated, When it had been read a second time Mr. Rusk, of Wisconsin, Moved that itbe put upon its passage. Mr, Molmaa wished to discuss the bill, and Mr, Rusk, who had ‘the floor, was willing to accord him ten minutes— tea minutes !—in which to oppose all the jand grant Jobs of the session, In the end, although 2,000,000 acres of land, worth from five to twenty dollars per acro, were invoived, he refused to yield at all, The friends of the measure predetermined to have the discussion altogether on their side of the question, and Hazelton led of With an assault on the Northern Pacific Rai Foad, contending that if his road Wid not get these Janas the other would. Mr, Eldridge had never Voted for land grants, but was in haste to have this one passed in time for action upon it by the Wis- consin Legislature, and thls was urged as a reason for not accepting Mr. Hoiman’s amendment that the grant should ve constracd to apply only to the lands which would inure to te benefit of the North- ern Paciilc if the act tailed to pass. Several mem- bers put themselves in jine with the job during tie first day’s filibustering, Mr. Peters deciarimg that the adoption of Uolman’s ameniment would re- quire the bill to be sent wack to the Senate, and Mr, Hoar also objecting to it, ‘’he voting showed great Strength for the bill and an exsy victory was an- telpaced, even wiea the House adjourne, adjourne meat being assented to only because victory seemed assured, Tnis was on the 28th day of February, and before the Ist day of March it was hoped tue mea- Bure would be passed. The morning of the secund day opened with the same spirit prevatiing among the friends of the bill as onthe provious day. Mr. Holman asked for an hour's debate and Mr. Peters objected, Mr, Steyen- Bon asked to have a letter from the Committee on Public Lands read and Mr Scofield objected. Every device to secure a fair consideration of the measure failed til] Mr, Cox intimated that he wanted to present @ protest from members of both sides of the Rouse against the passage of the bill, It could not have been presented, but if 1t had been signed, aa it certainly would have been, by the most con- sprcuously honest men in Congress, it would have been equivalent to an indictment before the bar of public opinion of every man voting for the measure, ‘The returning sense of the House, however, made if—drawing ve vitaly guy Mi “Spe, heart of the | this extreme resort unnecessary, and the motion to order the bill to a third Feading was reconsidered, Mr. Hanks, of Arkansas, having the Moor. Mr. Hanks yielded ten minntes of his time to Mr. Cox, Un the previous day Mr. Cox had remarked in his half humorous and half earnest way thatthe opponents of tie measure were ocling in the direct line of the President's Message on this question and had suggested that the Presitent’s political frienas who favored the bill should read it. Whon the Speaker's hammer feil he was reading it himself, and avked for time, a3 he sald, to foish the “elegant extract,” Mr. liay objected, though it was clearly none of Mr. Hay’s business, Mr. Hanks alone having the control of the time, Mr. Hauks gallantly sald Mr. Cox could have as much time as he wanted, and Mr. Cox proceeded, When he had- finished mr. Hanks yicided to Mr. Stevenson, and Mr. Stevenson Maile @ most able speech, As the debate proceeded Mr. Rusk grew anxious, and several times asked for the favors ne had retused t before, mfr, Holman fuished the hour. By that’ time the tide had completely turaed. A motion to lay the bill on the table failed by only a single vote. The debate ‘was then allowed to proceed, and the friends of the job were accorded the priviteges uney had so Btrenuonsly denied to its opponenis, A vote was not reacbed when the Honse adjourned, but the bill ‘was dead, for (he House had ordered it to be recom. mitied to the Committee on Public Lands, with in- Btractions to amend it so a8 not to enlarge the grant to we Northern Pacific Railroad or to allow that Foad to select other lands in !reu of the lands granted THE FIRST STAGE ENDED, mentary phasé of advancing a bill ane ‘other stage may be given a wider significance and made apply to the phases which mark the forjunes, Of the measure Such a stage , inat which 1 Kave Just narrated is in itself A Gomplete history of the jard work ¢ well asthe vypiay ot legislauon, It is the lobby, both {n aud out of Congress, which ives aramatic effect to the proceedings on the Moor, If there was nolobby 1 fear there would be ‘be no cloquence, an2 Iain sare there would be no such persisteace In Wrong-domg, Iu this case the lobny first appeared actively at work In behalf of one—perhaps two—of the worst jobs of the session.

In 1836 Nathan Spear, formerly a druggist in Boston, but for many years betore his death a well known 4nd prominent merchant of San Francisco, began the occupancy oi the isiand Ms making it @ trading point for whalers and salling vessels, wnich he suppiled with frewood from the umber growing upon i%. From this fact it was popularly known amoung foreigners as “Wood Island,” but it was called by the Caifornians Yerva Buena, cr fa herb, from the mint which grew onit, In the spring of 1837 Spear placed on the island @ flock of goats which he brought from the Sandwich Isiands, and from the increase of which he supplied botn the re in the port aud the families in the town of Yerba Buena, |'rom Spear’s colony of goats the island derives its popu- lar name of “Goat id.” Jt is claimed that spear imported his goats from the Sandwich Jslands for the twolold purpose of profit and to obtain tor him- self a valid possessory titie uader the civil law, | which in Spain and Mexico requires an undisturbed | adverse possession for ten years. Spear’s possession, claiming tle by prescription, tt is asserted by those who ciaim uader him, continued wll his death, which occurred about one year alter the promul- ration by President Polk of the Guadalupe-nidaigo | reaty. Just previous to his death Spear conveyed the wland to Captain Edward A. King, then Harvor Master or the port. King, on taking possession, suryeyed @ towp, which he called Spears- vile, and solt a few lots, but it was soon aerwards taken by the government for de. {ensive works and ® miutary Foes vation, The Ae was conveyed to J. S, Polack 1a 1861, and he be- | gah an idle and useless suit in ejectinent for the re- covery of the island. It is not necessary to discuss this private tie 1urther than to indicate that it ex. lots, bul it is a suggestive inquiry Why the govern- ment chould pertinaciously disregard it; and yet Congress proposed to give away the island to a pow- eriui Cor,porauou Tor a rauway depol.
