DR.. Norman Eddy, United States COnm;gaioner
for Delaware Lands 10 Kansas. na' been here sew
eral days making a report of his dongs to Mr.
Many penny, Commissioner Of Indian Affairs,
and meantime the sales are being postponed from

Ii is considered the most profitable land sale ever
nsde by the Government. There are nine hun
drld Delaware indians on the lands in question,
all of whom it is estimated will be richer by the
sale than the average Of white men. Commits
sioner MaIy peDny and Secretary McCleand are
dissati fed with the course pursued by Mr.. Eddy,
end will DO what they can to prevent BIS being re-
tanned "a Commissioner TO superintend the cOmpe-
ton of The sales IN Leavenworth City.
It appears that Mr. Eddy is in favor of sustaia-
ing the land appraisals made by the Commission
ers cent out for that purpose which are Peric city
satisfactory to tie settlers. who have made val
liable improvements upon their several lots. These
lots were each Appraised At from $3.50 10 $500.
About half or twO-thirds Of those in Leav-
enworth City are claimed BY Ffee-State
settlers, ard, with their improve nents, are
valued at from $1,000 10 $H,JOO. Mr..
Manypenny, who has done his utmost 20 enslaye
Kansas is still at his old work. He wishes to de-
priye settlers of the right to bid in their lots, ac-
cordiIg to tie appraisal but wishes to throw the
.sle open TO swarm Of spectators from Missouri,
who would. by an understanding, allow the Pro-
Slavery settlers 10 bid III their lots, and secure to
Themselves the improved lots OF the Free-State

Some of the buchanan men think Mr.. Pierce D.
paving his WAY bone too fast; that he turns his
back upon tue south altogether 700 sIddelly, and
Tor that reason they propose to put 90 the check

ripht of Senator Harlan, of Iowa 70 his seat stood
as follows: Against him. Butler, TOucey aud Geyer;
