land frauds.
ivhon the developments relative to the Post
nice were made in Congress last spring, it was
nlainly intimated that an examination in
prcf£ Jffaiwof the Land Office would disclose,
if possible, scenes of still grosser profligacy and
* Vnntion That examination, we may pre
C°1 wUl soon be made in good earnest. We
?u® ’;ust received information touching this mat
tr which ought not for a single moment to be
withheld from the public.
For many years—in fact, ever since the es
tablishment of this department of the Govern
nt—hardy and enterprising adventurers have
in the habit of locating themselves on any
notion of the public lands which they might
Knose and making improvements on the same.
When these lands were thrown into market, the
ttiers had an opportunity of obtaining titles by
f purchase. Sufficient notice of the time
niace of sale was given, by advertisment
fruhe Government paper at Washington, and
, ‘ in naners published in places most conti
Su WtKmU to be sold. If alter such no
S® the settlers refused or neglected to come
forward and make purchases, the fault was their
own if they were dispossessed of their improve
^sinre the era of “ Jackson reform,” another
nractice has prevailed. An army of court fa
JJJites as voracious as the locusts of Egypt,
™ now constantly on the wing; they obtain the
jL,red information as to the location, improve
ments &c. and then, by virtue of an under
ctlndin" with the officers of Government, the
Hnds are offered for sale. In many instances,
he notices of these sales appear in no other pa
ne* than the Washington Globe. Those most
interested are totally ignorant on the subject.
Thus while the honest settler is going on with
his improvements, dreaming of no harm, the
lands are sold; and in the issue, he is driven
Denny less from his home, or compelled to pay
losome heartless speculator thousands of dol
lars for the very improvements which his own
hands have made. And the worst ot the charge
k that certain officers of government, and
near connexions of the President, parti
cipate in these scenes of iniquity, and are there
by amassing princely fortunes.
Oar information is derived from a gentleman
Ion or a resident of Mississippi—a former friend
ofthe President. He says the administration is
fast losing ground in that quarter.

Singular effeet* of Beauty on a Young Man.
—Bishop Dupoy invited one day to dinner two
clergymen and three ladies; he noticed that du
ring the whole repast the youngest of the two
clergymen had his eyes steadily fixed on one of
the ladies, who was very handsome. The Bi
sIiod after dinner, when the ladies had retired
asked him what he thought of the lady he had
just been looking at. The clergyman answer
ed—“My lord, in looking at the lady, 1 was re
flecting that her behutiful forehead w ill one day
be covered with wrinkles; that the coral on her
lips will pass to her eyes, the vivacity of which
will be extinguished; that the ivory of her teeth
will be changed to ebony; that to the lilies and
roses of her complexion, the withered appear
ance of care will succeed; that her fine soft skin
will become a dry parchment; that her agree
able smiles will be converted into grimaces—
and that at length she will become the antidote
of love.” I never should have supposed, said
the Bishop, that the sight of a fine woman would
have inspired a \oung man with such profound
meditations.

OBITUARY.
It is due to the memory of the late Edward
McLaughlin, whose death has been noticed, a
few days past, in the public papers, to say a
word or two, in addition to what has already
been written, concerning his private virtues.
The present writer knew Mr. McLaughlin well,
had sweet experience of his open-hearted libe
rality, and partook freely of his kind hospitali
ties. In all his social relations, that of husband,
father, and friend, Mr. McLaughlin was most
exemplary.
No man was more beloved in his family, or
by his numerous circle of acquaintances. To
his surviving daughters and grand children the
loss of such a relative is irreparable; they la
ment his death with heartfelt anguish, but not
as those who sorrow without hope* His daugh
ters, whose attention to their bd|oved father,
during his last sickness, was all that could be
imagined of tenderness and filial affection,
have indeed sustained a heavy loss; yet, they
have the consolations of religion to solace them
under their bereavement, and the conscious
ness of having well performed their duty to the
deceased. Mr. McLaughlin’s remains were fol
lowed to the Catholic Burial Ground by a nu
merous train ot sincere mourners. An impres
sive and affecting address was delivered on the
occasion by the Rev. Mr. Smith, who dwelt with
much feeling on the early sufferings of the de
ceased, which have been already adverted to.
In the course of his remarks the Reverend
gentleman became deeply affected, and dropt
a tear, while, with his usual eloquence, he touch
ed upon the wrongs of injured and oppressed
Ireland.
The Sisters of Charity attended the funeral,
along with a number of the most respectable
citizens of Alexandria, Washington, and the
surrounding country.
A friend, who was intimately acquainted with
the deceased, desires to offer this feeble tribute
of respect to his memory.—f Communicated.]
