The DEs MONIES RIVER GRANT.-
There is nothing in the Republics last
article on this subject, upon which TO
predicate an answer. Their ideas on
this question never appeared to be very
clear, and they have been growing small
by degrees and beautifully less, until, in
the last effort, they wind up in perfect
fzzle.

following extracts from letter written
by JOHN JOHNSON, Esq, of this city,
dated
SACRAMENTO CRY, July %, so.
Here | am at last, after long, hard
and | had almost said an awful journey,
and to many il has been such. | arrived
in the frontier towns of California on
the 10Th inst, and came down TO the
city few days since, expecting to get
letters from you, but in this have been
disappointed, and not word have
heard from home since l left. ] have
been well with the exception of about
week while travelling in the Rocky
mountains, during which time | was
very sick. We have been more fortu-
nate with our teams than | expected; we
got our horses and wagon through,
which is more than one in hundred
has done; hundreds Of Wagons have
been thrown away on the plains and
horses without number left to die by the
wayside. | have seen more real suff-
ering among the emigrants, for want of
food, than / ever witnessed in all my
life before, and this too, in the very front
ranks of the emigrants. What il may
be with those behind | will not predict.
| have seen men kill horses and cni from
their bones what little meat remained on
them and eat it. A great number of
emigrants started without provisions
sufficient for half the journey, thinking
they could get them as last year on the
way. In this they were sadly disap-
pointed; no one took more than was ne
cessary to last him through, and had
none TO dispose of. Occasionally man
would spare few pounds of flour and
meat for the small sam of from too to
three dollars per pound. Men were
constantly coming TO our wagon begging
for bread; we gave to them as long as we
could spare it, and | have been compell-
ed to refuse even piece of bread to
half starved man.
The prospect for emigrants this year
is any thing but flattering, and the most
of them wish themselves at home. |
am decidedly of the opinion that nothing
will be made by the emigrants this year;
all kinds of business is crowded and
hundreds and thousands are seeking en-
ployment in vain. The waters are too
high for mining and the towns are full of
men who can get no work. think
shall stay here but a short time, but still
I|ariA not promise you certain that 4
DiH iUe up to these Intentions, shall
start in day or two for the mines and
try my luck. but it is dark prospect,
how long | shall stay there know not;
had received letters from home, and
learned that you were all well, could
90 with less anxiety than | now shall,
but hope TO receive letters by the mail

The new Secretary of the Interior,
Mr.. Stewart, was member Of Congress
from one of the districts in Virginia, a
few years since, and was conspicuous
for the boldness with which he sustained
the principles Of the Wings. He is a
young man, not welded to the notions
and distractions which have controlled
Virginia politicians, and will make an
efficient Secretary.

summing mn the Evidcnce.

Papers may lie and deceive, but the
following are FACTS.
VIM. Thompson's friend and attorney
]. c. Hall, brought away the poll-books
OF the Kanesville precinct from Monroe
co., handed them to Thompson in the
winter of lS49, who, in the fall of that
year, denied having them, or any knowl-
edge of their existence, before the Com
mitiee on Elections of the House Of
Representatives! This, in plain Eng
fish, was STEALING and LYING !!
William Thompson was NEVER cleo
ted to Congress, and the pretension that
he wac is FALSE =! Danl. F. Miller
received SO majority. over Thompson,
at the August election in 1913, as the
law and the evidence clearly shows.
A Democratic House of Representa-
tives decided by TWENTY-FIVE ayes,
to NINETYFOU noes, that d. +.
Miller received a majority of votes, and
WAS entitled to his seat in Congress, but
speaker Cobb, casting his vote with the
minority, it became TIE, AID the Reso-
luton was thereby lost.
A Democratic House of Representa-
tives decided by NINETY-FOUR yeas
to ONE HUNDRED AND TWO nays
that VIM. Thompson did not receive a
majority Of the votes, and WAS NOT en-
titled to the seat which he then held in
the House Of Representatives.
The majority Of the Committee on
elections, of the House of Representa-
tives, all of them political friends of
VIM. Thompson, in their report TO Con-
gress and the country, says:-" Pour

After conversation with the Queen, he
dictated, with remarkable clearness, a
conclusion to his memoirs; he then caus-
ed to be summoned his chaplain, all his
children and grandchildren who were at
Clermont, and, IN presence of the Queen
and family, discharged every duty OF
religion with the most perfect resignation.
Towards seven o'clock in the evening

false impression that the election is un.
important;--only TO fill vacancy, an un-
expired term of three months in the
House of Representatives, and that vo-
tiers may be excused, if they find il a lit.

and voting, as, unbiased by party, one
of the free elective sovereigns of this
district, loving right and justice, and ha-

laying at the foundation of all our insti-
