The Cleveland (Ohio) Leader of December
1st., exposes combination that presents Ste
phen a. Douglas in new phase of meanness,
which, if it is not disgraceful to him as gem
tleman. is certainly condemnable in him as
Senator of the United States. The man who
can use his position, as representative of the
people, or of state, to subserve the purposes
of his own personal aggrandizement, is un-
worthy of the trust confded TO him-is, in
fact, betrayer of that trust. If the state
ment of the Leader is true and, it carries
truth on the face of it, Mr.. Douglass debase-
ment as doughface is now aggravated by his
unscrupulousness as land Spectator. 1t
seems that last summer, Hon. S. A. Douglas
Bird Chapman, ex-special mail agent; Col.
Forney, Clerk of the House of Representa-
tiyes; Joseph w. Gray, postmaster of Cleve-
land, Ohio; and William Green, of Elyria,
Ohio; entered into copartnership, and Sc
cured, for the sum of $50, 900, the refusal of
the purchase Of Indian Missionary Reserva-
ton lands in Nebraska. They have paid
$4,000 down, as forfeit money, in the event
of their not completing the purchase. In the
meantime, the Company viii endeavor to in
duce President Pierce to appoint to the gov
O.: ofship of the territory, Secretary Cummirs,
who has been acting governor of Nebraska,
since the death of Governor Burt. In the
event Of his appointment, Cummins has prom
ised to locate the seat of government at the
village of Belleville, which is included in
Douglass purchase. The rise in the value
of the land. incident to this location, will en-
rich every one Of the schemers who is engag-
ed in the mean trick referred to.
Is it not humiliating spectacle. to witness
. United States Senator engaged in uch bust
ness as this In the first place he anticipates
the influx of immigrants to the new territory,
and lays his plans to make himself rich from
their industry and necessities. He has been
brawling advocate of the occupancy of the
territories by actual settlers only; and yet he
seeks, by the power Of wealth, and by his in
Auence as Senator, TO prevent such settle
ment; and, to squeeze the proceeds of their
privations and labors from tho pioneers of In
dustry and civilization. In the second place,
he has promised as legislator, to employ his
position as such. solely for the benefit of his
country and constituents and yet we find
him operating on Frank Pierce for his own
selfish purposes; and employing his position
TO obstruct, hinder, embarrass, and impoverize
those whom he has been accustomed to eulo-
gize as "squatter sovereigns." We certainly
have fallen upon strange times, when we find
Senstor Of the United states. employing the
influence acquired by his seat in the Senate
in taxing the energies and depicting the purses

A MIsER.-An old woman named jeanne
De Sux has just died in n. Y. She had lived
for years past in the attic story of twenty five
thousand dollar house which she owned and
the various apartments of which she rent
ed for handsome sum. She has always
lived as if she was in great pecuniary distress,
denying herself even the ordinary comforts Of
life. She has been known to receive aims in
the street. She died last week from injuries
received by being run over by an omnibus,
and the bureau OF the Public Administrator
shows that she owned bonds to the value Of
$50 900, making her entire property at least
100000. She is not known to have had any

CUBA.-The Washington CORES pondent of
the Journal Of Commerce, says:
The flibuster excitement about Cuba, has
had its day. 1t is a worn out excitement. as
much as that of the Canada patriot fever of
1899. Then, it will be remembered, flame
was kindled all along our Northern borders.
and special law was passed by Congress to
prevent illegal expeditions against co-termin-
Gus countries, and Generals Scott and Wool
were employed to enforce that law. That fe-
yer subsidized, but not more entirely than the
Cuba fever has done, or soon will do. 1t
would be well if the Spanish government
would so far recognize its own interests, as to
accommodate the laws of Cuba. and especially
its commercial regulations, to the convent
ences Of the social and commercial intercourse
which exists and increases between Cuba and
the United States.

A CONTEST WITH A DEER.-The Mansfield
(Ohio) Banner relates singular breach of the
peace, which occurred in the vicinity of that
place, few days since. A young lady Miss
Harriet Brown, was returning alone from a
visit to neighbor, when a pet deer, belong
ing to the gentleman whose house she had
left, leaped over a fence and attacked her,
striking her with his horns with sufficient
force to cut through her clothing and draw
blood. The Banner says:
''As Miss Brown fell, she couragOously took
the deer by the horns, and chung to him,
sometimes being dragged on the ground, and
at Others regaining her feet-the animal all
the time striking and cutting her with his feet.
The deer, finding himself foiled by the courage
of the girl, attempted another mode of attack
and endeavored to push her up against trees,
and thus shake her from Ter hold on his horns.
But it was no go-she held on; but in the
course of the struggle, the deer dragged Miss
Brown near to a fence, at a point where there
was large stack of straw placed against it on
the other side; the poor girl, being unable to
make herself heard in her cries for help, and
finding herself much weakened from effort and
loss of blood, cast about her for some source of
escape, and looked upon the straw stack as the
only safe Ietreat-and man9uvring so as to
get the deer near up to the fence, let go of his
horn with her right hand, and tried the 'gouge
gane'-putting her thumb into his eye, and
giving it hard push; this SO hurt and fright
ened the beast, that, quick as lightning, he
bounded back some fifteen feet from her, and
before he had recovered from his fright suffi-
ciently to renew the attack, his fair antago-
mist had gained the top of the fence, and from
thence the top of the stack, completely foiling
her adversary. From her high position, she
succeeded in attracting the attention of a
neighbor, who came to her relief
The fight lasted nearly an hour, and at its
close, Miss Browns clothes were nearly all
torn off from her, and she was cut in almost
every part of her body, by the hoofs of the an
imal"

Mr.. BENTON, in his lecture before the Ma
ryland Institute, at Baltimore, on Tuesday
evening, spoke of the Pacific Railroad, as fol-
lows:
This road will be made, and soon, and by
individual enterprise. The age is progressive
and utilitarian. 1t abounds with talent seek
ing investment. The temptation is irresist-
ble-to reach the golden California, and to
connect Europe and Asia through our Ameri-
ca. The country is open to settlement, and
inviting it, and receiving it, The world is in
motion following the track of the sun to its
dip in the western ocean. Westward the tor
rents of emigration direct their course and
soon the country between Missouri and Cali
fornia is to show the most rapid expansion of
the human race that the ages of man have
ever beheld. 1t will all be settled up. Set.
Element will promote the road; the road will
aggrandize the settlements. Soon it will be a
line of towns, cities, villages, and farms and
rich will be the man who may own some quar-
ter section on its track, and some squares in
the cities which are to grow up upon it.
He spoke of the great system of railroads
which at some future day will be brought to a
head in these United States, and concluded
as follows
"And what then The great idea of Co.
lumbus will be realzed-though in a differ
ent and more beneficial form. Eastern Asia
is reached by going West, and by road of
which we hold the key And the channel of
Asiatic commerce which has been shifting its
