FORT RECEIVED.
The other day the New York Tribune, organ Of
the abctonists. proclaimed formal amnesty with
the northern democratic and southern seceders from
their party and section in consideration of the effect
i've resistance they making 10 the 'Ieoompton
iniquity." II was not merely forgiveness, but alI
ance; II was not merely impunity from further
sault ON the part Of the abotiunists but reward for
their services that the Tribune proclaimed. The So
esders were to be supported in future elections by
the votes Of that baokrepublican party whose
baneful and gloomy dominance in the land they were
contributing much TO establish.
The New York Times, discreet and able,
and by no means INSCRIPTIONS and depraved an

THE OHIO REPUBLICANS AND THE CRITTENDEN
AMENDMENTS


We published few days since an article from an
Ohio State Journal protesting against the Crtendcn
amendment and calling upon the blackrepublcan
members from that State to oppose its adoption. We
also mentioned yesterday tllat fefdirfancc to the
effect signed by Gov. Chase and the blackrepub
lican members of the Ohio Legislature, had been
ceived by their friends in Congress. We have now
before us the Journal containing letter from
its editor, in this city, in which the writer
deprecaes the idea Of backrepublicans supporting
the Crittcnden amendment and says that in doing
they ''plant themselves substantially on the broad
squatcr- docifint and; in fact, acknowl-
edge the Lecompton swindle to be legal document"
The same paper, commenting cditorialIy on the Crit

The Fort Smelling Fraud.

This alleged fraud has caused great deal
of comment throughout the newspaper press
of the country. The facts Of the case are
briefly as follows: .....
An act was Struggled through Congress
near the close of President Pierce's Admins.
tration, authorizing the War Department to
sell any old forts not required for military
purposes.
Undar this vague clause Mr.. Secretary
Floyd, sold t" Richard Schell. broker in n Y.
and State senator, to Mrs. Schell, bis wife. 10
tohn G. Rlather, also State Senator and Gov
eminent warehouse-man. 70 Frank Steele, and
to one DR.. Graham, Fort Smelling, aud eight
or ten tnousand acres OF adjoining land, valued
at S20D,000 and upwards. for So, 900.
The sale was made privately, and without
any public notice or intimation that the prop
erty was in market.
So far from il not being needed for military
purposes, the late Secretary of War, Mr.. Da-
Wis, had distinctly dec lined to entertain pro-
posals for IFS purchase under the act. because
1t was needed for such purposes; while the
present Secretary has also recognized the ne
cessity for nsing part of it for the military
service of the country.
1t was sold in body and not in sections. as
the usual government surveys, as provided
by law.
BY the terms of sale, the purchasers are to
nave their deeds upon paying the first INSTALL
mems, and without mortgage, in direct viola
ton of the law. which forbids a patent being
issued for any government lands until the en-
tire price is paid.
These being the facts in the case, the whole
transaction of the sale, exhibits a shocking de.
gree of official corruption, and Secretary
Floyd should if possible, set himself right be-
fore the public in the matter.
