their title to the property is not worth pinch
of snuff, they have been selling the lots nomi-
nslly at from SIS to Sl00 each. Those who
appraised them for this Government sale evil
IDENTIFY appraised them at too low rates-at ~
to $40 per lot. A combination on the part OF
those who have bought them from the Leavsn
worth city company will doubtless be essayed
to prevent outside bidders from competing
with them in their proposed purchases. 1t
Questionable with US how far it will succeed.
Our hope is that the competition for them may
be sufficiently great-to throw most of the pur-
ehasers from the company that sold bogus titles
to the lots, back upon them for the return OF
their money paid However, there is no tell
ing what will be the end of the eale in ques-
ton; as We can conceive of 10 mode by which
the Government can protect its own interest in
such q case, except by going into the market
as bidder at its own sale.
The law specifies that the property shall
not be sold below it's appraised value. But
the appraisement seems to have been little
better than q farce. Thus, to sell them at
their appraisement will be grievOus wrong
to the Indians, though If no persons bid
higher than their appraised value, how is the
wrong to be prevented? We cannot conceive
how the Government can get over the dilem-
ma; and We expect that the Spectators will
m anage in this particular case, by the help of
the law Of Congress directing the sale, to outwit
or crcumvent the Government, which, from
the moment the bogus Leavenworth City Land
Company assumed the right to take up this
property, has been endeavoring to get 1t back
out of their clutches.
Our Anxious Friends -" By the time this
reaches you, you will be SO absorbed in your
Presidential election that my news will excite
but little interest The intelligence reaching
us from you reassures US in our hOne-the
hope expressed some time since as general
in England-that Fremont s success is all but
certain. Although events are closing around
US, and we are now finding occupation for our
thoughts on matters deeply concerning our
selves, We have time and sympathy to bestow
upon you in your present struggle, and public
opinion is freely expressed here on your mat
tiers; and L have no hesitation whatever In
saying that England is heart and soul for
Fremont "-LondOn Correspondence Of the
Nel0 York Herald.
"Although there are variety OF SUBJECTS
of sufficiently exciting character before the
French mind at the present moment, all are
more or less secondary to the interest which
the Presidential contest in the United States
produces, and the Georgian revelations of
the London Iimes-if so unmsta keable a hoax
may receive so important an epithet-have at
least served the purpose Of giving inordinatc
piquancy to the interest already existing in
| relation to American affairs Here the feel
| ing is unanimous in fsvcr of Fremont" -Parts

1t is cruel in the good folks of the United
tates thus to disappoint England and France
in the matter of electing President-very
cruel, indeed More especially after the Lon
don Times and Macs and the Paris Monitsur,
organs of English and French government SEN
| timent, had taken occasion to declare in the
course of our recent canvass that England and
France were so very so!icitous to have Ere

| event as likely to be the first serious blow
struck at the permanancy Of the American
Union. Under such circumstances how confa
