CANFIELp. Feb. 5. 1917.

CANFIELD, Feb. 5, 1877.
DEAR SIR Since last wrote you,
we have had information from your
quarter, that Nicksaw was killed instead
of John Mohawk as heretofore reported.
If this be true and as Mohawk was the
one who shot Mr.. Diver, ought not Mo-
hawk be demanded of their Chiefs to be
delivered up for trial. In my last, CON-
siderable was said concerning treaty
with the Indians, and the more reflect
on that business, the more l am con-
vinced of the necessity of having it pros
ecuted to effect as soon as possible.
am still of opinion that directions to ef-
feet it ought to issue from the Judiciary
department. l have been solicited by
numbers of the inhabitants to assist in
forwarding this business and have writ
ten to, and advised some gentlemen
to go forward and hold treaty with
some of the chiefs. You may perhaps
think l have gone too fast in this bust
ness. But Sir, 1 still believe it bust
ness of great importance, not only to
give immediate satisfaction to the inhab-
itants of the new settlements, but for the
future settlements Of this country. You
doubtless have just idea, how the truth
of such an ARRAY with Indians will be
exaggerated only from this to old Con-
necticut; of course will see the necessity
of accomplishing settlement with them
and having it made public abroad as
well as at home.
For myself, and believe 1 can say,
for the greatest part of this County, we
are under no apprehension of the least
personal danger from the Indians, but
our interests require a speedy compro-
mise, and hope you will give all posi-
bic aid to accomplish it.
remain Sir your ob't serv't,
ELIJAH WADSWORTH.

EMANCIPATION OF SLAVES IN
f~r MISSOURI.


This is the bold head line of the lead
ing article in the Missouri Democrat, of
Wednesday, taking strong ground in ia
vor of the momentous measure indica-
ted. There are many evidences that
Border Rufisnism in Missouri. with its
manifest desolating effects, has quicken
ed into life powerful emancipation par.
ty. and that the State will soon be agi-
tated throughout on the question wheth-
er Slavery is to be an eternal institution
there, or is to be wiped away as a blot
aud a nuisance. There are 90, 900 slaves
in Missouri. The Democrat suggests
that the State would buy them and ship
them to Liberia. AS financial question
the Democrat holds ''there is nothing
startling in it when it is remembered
that land would double in value stimuli
taneously with the passage Of the Con-
stitutional amendment authorizing the
enactment of the act of emancipation. "
The Democrats article concludes in
these sturdy paragraphs:
The stale cant Of "loyalty to the in
stitutions of the State" is preached dali
ly and weekly by the niger organs.-
Was Virginia loyal to her institutions
when she abolished primogeniture?-
Was Pennsylvania loyal to hers when
she abolished slavery! Were the colo
nies loyal 10 theirs when they abolished
royalty? This is the cry with which to
intimidate fools. Loyalty to existing in
stitutions shuts out all reform. There
is one institution in which all Democrats
should be ever loyal, and only one--the
sovereignty of the people. All other
Institutions must conform to that or cease
to exist.
We do not deny that noble principle
is embodied in conservatism, but we also
say that it has been the rock and castle
of tyrants and oligarehies in every age
Our part in Missouri has been conser
vative in all things; and yet it could not
prevent therepeal Of the Missouri Com
promise, the Kansas outrages, and the
disunion agitations last summer. We
have held the balance evenly, trying
with all our might to keep it poised, but
the weight of the niger was thrown in
by our enemies, and the disturbed equi-
librium we were unable to restore. All
but the immortal who holds the balance
betwixt Astrea and the scorpion sign.
would grow weary of such task. We
have wearied of it, and (speaEing for
ourselves) we now trust our fortunes and
our fate to this great cause Of EMAScI-

GARROTING.
PATTON.

Gaaroting is great convenience
nothing more convenient can happen 10
man under certain circumstances. We
do not mean by the term that operation,
which is said to be popular in London.
namely, throttling man with one hand.
and snatching his gold watch with the
other; but that other process, which
soine of our enterprising contemporaries
create sensation with every meniDg.
We say it is great convenience. For
instance, John Smith, the broker, has
$3.50 in his pocket to buy bis wife q
gold brooch with. according to promise.
Down town, in the first of the evening,
he meets friend or two. who propose a
game at bluff. He accepts, and is not
eminently successful. Before going
home why shouldn't he. if wise man.
stepinto newspaper Office, and announce
to his friend. the Police Reporter, all
the particulars of his being seized, sud
denly, when it was scarcely dark, by
couple of rufiisns, robbed of his funds,
