Complaints are made that the seeds

A DAMAGING DIscLosURE.-Hou F. p.
Stanton, Secretary of Kanzas under Governor
Walker, in late speech at Lawrence, made
the following statement:

chanan to deal fairly with the people. Had
not this been his opinion, he would never
have accepted the position of Secretary, nor

Justice demanded the admission that he still
believed the intention of the administration
to have been good originally. Its present line
of policy was an after thought. Until the
month of September, he and Gov. Walker

this concusively
On the LIST OF September, Gen. Whitefeld
and DR.. Tebbs of kan2as, who were then in

who was anxious TO shield himself from the
assaults then being made upon him by the
South. Through Mr.. Buchanans agency,
the letter was sent to the Union office, and
was actually in type, acco mpanied by editorial
comments endorsing the character of DR..
Iebbs as gentleman of unimpeachable yer
acity,' when it was seen in proof by a South

suppression. From that day to this the course
of the Administration toward Kanzas has
been most INSCRIPTIONS and shameful one. -

SABBATH SCHOOL ExoURsIoN.-The mem.
bers and friends of the Sabbath school connected
with the Roger Williams (Baptist) Church in
Providence, r. l., to the number Of some four or
five hundred, had an interesting excursion to
this city, yesterday morning, in an extra train.
On their arrival here, they were escorted to the
City Hall, and welcomed in a neat and appropri.
ate speech by Hon. Isaac DAVIS, Mayor Of the
city. After prayer and singing, speeches were
then made by Rev. Mr.. Day and Clement Web

Blackstone, and Rev. Mr.. Clark Of Pawtucke ct.
At hsfpast twelve o'clock tho company betook
themselves to dinner, which was served up in the

BrOOhfioId and s'the Hathaway"
have noticed the editorial remarks in the Spy
of the oath instant, and the extract from Rev.
Peter Whitney's History of Worcester County,
in which he says. when speaking of Wickaboag
pond, that 'this pond is Supplied by rivulets and
has large outlet into the river, about 20 or 80
rods in length, called the Lashaway."
AL this l knew very we'll before, but what is
Mr.. Whitney's authority for calling this little
stream of few rods in length "the Lashaway ?"
What l say, is, that by the Indian deed, which
we may fairly assume gave the right Indian
names to rivers, hills, &C., the Lashaway is de-
scrbed as "the river that flows from Quaboag
Pond" That the rioer was subsequently called
Quaboag is undisputed, but was that the true In
dian name? That is the point
To give every one fair chance to Judge of the
merits of the question, give an extract from the
deed of Shattooquis, which shows all that is said
respecting the Sashaway :-"And so through the
plain to Wickaboag Pond and then down to
Sashaway, viz, the riUer q0licb comes from Qua.
boGg Pond, all the land as aforesaid on the East
or Northeast side of that river, and about three
miles North and East from the river together
with the said river, and the lands on the West
side or Southwest side of said river and parlicu-
larly from Sashaway, down the river, to a brook
or stream called Naultaug," &c. The italics are
mine.
After reading this, can any one doubt that the
river spoken of is the Lashaway What other
river is mentioned II the name of the river was
Quaboag, as Mr.. Whitney says, why was it not
mentioned in the deed 1t is certainly very
wonderful that little outlet of few rods in
length should be mentioned and the main fea.
ture of the whole territory viz, the river that run
through the entire length of il, should not be
even mentioned by name. Besides, observe the
language, ''al the lands on the East or North
east side of that river" &c. What river? Was
all this said Of little connection with the Wick.
aboag, oisome twenty or thirty rods in length ?
1t really seems absurd to suppose So and yet it
must be SO, if that little stream was the "Lasha.
way"
That there is some obscurity in the language l
have quoted from the deed Of 1865 is admitted
but the weight OF evidence seems to the writer
Overwhelmingly in favor Of the position, that the
name of "the river that runs from the Quaboag
Pond" was described in that deed as the Lasha-
aOdy.
should like to have the opinions Of Others on
the point in question, and hope we shall be favor
ed with any reasons which can be given in the af-
hrmatiye or negative. AMAsA WALLER.

A NEW SLEEPING CAR.--rhe Michigan
Central Railroad Company are now engaged
in placing upon their track those most desira-
BILE OF all railroad appendages, sleeping cars.
Rejecting the devices Of foreign inventors,
they have adopted the conception Of one of
their own mechanics, Mr.. S. q. Case, Super
intendent of Car Works, which is one of the
most simple and convenient arrangements of
the kind that has yet been perfected. By a
very quick and easy method the two seats oc :.
cupied during the day are at once converted at
night into soft cushioned beds for the use of
three persons. A curtain then falls over the
whole compartment, forming family room,
which, with the windows raised for
the admission Of air, is all that can be desired.
The great advantage of this invention is, that
it can be adapted to common cars now in use
upon the road, which was not the case with
the Woodruff patent. Cars which require re-
fitting are thus made available, by entirely
changing the internal arrangements at cost
probably not exceeding those required in the
common mode OF fitting. Detroit Free Pross.

of Probate and Insolvency of this county, being
declared from acting, in consequence of being an

In obedience to a summons from the Court, Geo.

liam d. Cheever all Of this city, present, to
reply to certain interrogatories regarded their

picity with him in the secretion of his property
beyond the reach of his creditors-.Hon. Francis
H. Dewey appearing as counsel for Mr.. Dana, one
Of the parties so summoned and Charles Devens,
Esq, as counsel for the creditors.
As the statute requires that such examinations
shall be through written inierrogatories and
answers, the proceedings were characterized by
unusual dullness to outsiders and reporters,
which was relieved only in two or three instances
by the arguments of the respondents or their coun.
SELL application to be relieved from the examin-
alton. Judge Nation, however decided that
the nterrogatories must be answered, and that if
any party was aggrieved by the action OF the
court, the remedy for such grievance was to be
found by an appeal to the Supreme Court.
Up to the adjournment Of the Court, the exam
nation of neither of the witnesses was ended,
and there is fair prospect that the whole of to-
day will be required to pump the witnesses dry.
1t is expected that Mr.. Stone Will be put under
oath to testify to the alleged concealment of
his property, as soon as the examination of the
above-named peesoos has bsen brought to a close.

SEIZURE BY THE U. S. AUTHORITIES OF
$4,000 WORTH OF CUBA SUGARs IN NEW
York AND BosToN.-We hear of the seizure
by the United States authorities, Of about
eighty thousand dollars worth of Cuba box
sugars at New York and Boston, under the
following circumstances The seizure in New
York took place several weeks since, and con-
sisted of several cargoes sent by one firm in
Cuba, and the whole valued at about $50, 600.
This sugar was consigned to two firms of the
highest responsibility in New York, one of
which is Messrs. Maitland, Phelps, & Co.
The article was sent to them by Cuba firm,
of only few years standing, who, it appeared,
had invOiced the sugars below their value,
and had not included the cost Of the boxes,
and in some cases, we understand these drafts
had been accepted aud paid After the selz-
ure, a member of the Cuba firm came to this
country, and proceeded to Washington to ar
range the matter.
He attempted to induce the Secretary TO
give an order for the re-delivery of the sugar,
but without avail, as the proofs of undervalue
are quite strong. We understand that by or
der OF Collector Austin, box sugars sent here
by the same Cuba firm, of the value of TWEEN
ty thousand dollars, have been seized within
day or two, under allegations of a some
what similar character to those of the New
York importation. In this case, some of the
sugar had passed into second hands, MIR. JON
athan Cottle, grocer, of Congress street, hav-
ing some two hundred boxes, on which he,
probably, will meet with no loss. In this
case the consignees were not aware of the
"irregnlarity" until informed of the fact by
the Custom House authorities, and are there
fore perfectly free of any implication in the
matter.
The sugar was imported in the British brig
A. c. Robbins from Havana, which reached
Boston on the 11th of last month. 1t was
consigned to .. o. Whittemore & Co., and in
addition to the lot sold 10 Mr.. Cottle, about
tive hundred boxes had been purchased by
Messrs. Manning, Stanwood, Co.-Bo8ton
Traveller.

The New York Times Washington cores
pondenr sends the substance of Secretary
Cass's letter to the President of Nicaragua,
on the refusal of the latter to sign the Cass-
frissarri treaty. The Secretary says to Pres
ident Martinez: " You have insulted this
government by Withholding the treaty, after
pledging yourself to Gen. Lamar that you
sent it by special messenger You alter
wards assigned as a reason for not having
sent it, that you had written an autograph
letter to President Buchanan, asking him to
submit certain notifications, which letter you
never wrote. We demand, as the only repa-
ration you can make, the return of the treaty
as ratified by the Assembly.
With regard to the vested rights of citizens
in Nicaragua. Gen. Cass tells Martinez that
his government will not submit to any arb-
trary action OF Nicaragua; that, as that
country was devoid of adequate tribunals,
the Cabinet at Washington had no other re-
source but to decide the matter tor themselves,
and that. therefore, proper naval force had
been dispatched to both sides of the Isthmus.
