Fremont AND TIE MERGED COMptNY.-The
story that Fremont has recovered, by law, the
final title to the celebrated MERGED mine, in
California is incorrect. His recent suit with
the company working that mine involved only
the question of temporary possession, not that
of right TO the land in fee. lie gained that. 1t
may take half century or more ere he, or those
representing his claim after him, obtain a final
judgment awarding the title to the land Z" in
fee And then, such judgment will by no
means convey to him the title to the minerals
in the land. That last question is one to be
fought out at great length with the Govern
ment of tho United States. Col. Fremont, it
will be recollected, has mOrtgaged his claim to
gold lands in California for somo three or
fur hundred thousand dollars, the interest on
which Is accumulating much more rapidly, it
seems to US, than his chances Of acquiring the
enjoyment of the property be thus claims,
during his life time.

FLATLr COSTRADICTED.-Some days ago,
Washington letter appeared in New York city
sensation paper, imputing to the President,
Secretary Toucey, Attorney General Black, and
Commissioner Holt highly improper motives in
their action on tho case of Mr.. Washington
A. Bartlett, one CT the retired naval officers to
whom restoration to the active list was not &C
corded. The writer attributed this refusal TO
personal animOsity towards Mr. Bartlett, and
the character of his statements were such as to
lead to the belief that they were derived from
Mr.. Bartlett himself. Mr.. Bartlett publishes a
card in this mornings Union, in which be em-
phatically denies giving any such information
as the letter purports to contain, and repudiatcs
the course Of the writer in essayiDg to set up
tor him any such defence. From his card it
seems evident that the surmises of the Wash
ington correspondent to which we refer were
apparently founded on mere idle rumors.

Rules for Travellers.

The following rules, all Of which, we
believe, are founded on legal decisions
are of sufficient Importance to travellers
to be committed to memory:
1t has been lately decided that appli-
cants for tickets on railroads can be eject
ed from the cars, if they do not offer the
exact amount of their fare. Conductors
are not bound to make change.
All railroad tickets are good until used
and conditions ''good for this day only
otherwise limiting the time of genuine
ness, are of no account.
Passengers who lose their tickets can
be elected from the cars unless they pur-
chase q second one.
Passengers are bound to observe de-
corum in the cars, and are obliged to
comply with all reasonable demands to
show tickets. Standing upon the plat
form, otherwise violating q rule of the
Company, renders person liable to be
put from the train.
No person has any right to monopo-
lie more seats than he has paid for, and
any article loft in the seat while the own
er is temporarily absent, entities him to
the place on his return.

Extract from Greely's Letter.

We find the following in one of Greely's
letters Fl on the American desert.
Speaking of Rattlcsnakes-I hasten
to retract the skepticism avowed in q
former letter as to the usual and welcome
residence of these venomous serpents in
the Prairie-Dog's burrow. The evidence
of the fact is too direct and reliable to be
gainsayed. A credible witness testifes
that he and others once undertook to
drown out Prairie-Dog in his domicil,
and when sufficient water had been rapid
ly poured in, out came Prairie Dog
and Owl and Rattlesnakcs all together.
In another case a tremendous rain raised
a creek so that 1t suddenly oyerfowed a
Prairie Dog town, when the general
stampede Of Prairie-Dog, Owls and Rat
tlcsnake was sight to behold. 1t is idle
to attempt holding out against facts; SO
have pondered this anomaly until [ think
| clearly comprehend it. The case is
much like that of some newspaper cstab-
Iishments, whose proprietors, it is said,
find it convenient to keep on their staff
ga broth of a boy" from Tippcrary, stand

tory customers, who call Of a morning,
hot with wrath and bristl;ng with COW
hide, to demand q parley with the edit
or. The Cayota is q gentleman of an
inquiring, investigating turn, who is an
adept at excavation, and whose fondness
for Prairie-Dog is more ardent than flat
tering. TO dig one out and digest him
would be an easy task, if he were alone
in his den, or with only the Owl as bis
partner; but when the firm is known to
be PrairieDog, Rattlcsnakc & Co., the
Cayota's passion for subterrianean re-
searches is materially cooled. The Rat
tlesnake is to the concern what the Fight
ing Editor is to the journalistic oreaniza-
tioas aforesaid. And thus, while nv
faith is enlarged, is my reason satisfied.

Death of Dr. Bailey.

DR.. Gamalel Bailey, Editor and
Publisher of Tile National Era, died at
sea on board the Arago on the 9Th inst
DIR. b had been an invalid for some
months, and at the time of his death was
on his way to Europe in the hope OF re-
gaining his health. He was born at
Mount Holley, N. j., in 1907, studied
medicine in Philadelphia, and took his
degree in 1928. After serving as ships
physician ON trip to China, he com
menced his career in journalism in Balti-
more as the Editor of The Methodist
Protestant. Subsequently, in 1881, he
removed to Cincinnati, where he was
appointed physician to the Cholera Hos
pital during the prevalence of that enidem-
ic. In 1886 be joined the late James G.
Birney in the publication of the PAalan-
hropist, Liberty party paper at Gin
cinnati. His paper met the usual fate OF
all Anti-Slavery journals in those time
his press and printing office being sever
al times destroyed by mobs. MIR. Biz
ney withdrew from the paper in 1887,
and was supported by The Philonthrop-
asst for the Presidency in 1910. Mr..
Bailey continued the publication of his
paper till 1647, when it was merged in
THE National Ere, an Anti-Savery pa
per published at Washington by the
American and Foreign Anti-Slavery So
ciety, of which DIR. B. was chosen Editor.
In ls4S, he purchased the paper from the
Society, and continued its publication on
his own account. AS an editor, though
by no means violent, he was quite too
plain-spoken to suit the meridian of
Washington, and the mob decided to des-
troy his press. His Office was besieged
for two or three days, but he was not
driven from bis post. In 1856, DR.. B.
supported Fremont, and has since acted
with the Republican party. His paper
has maintained high literary character
and first GA We Mrs. Stoves story of.Un-
Toms Cabin" to the world DIR. Bailey
was a gentleman of amiable disposition
aud of decided opinion, and was a writer
| of considerable yigor and ability.
The Free Democrat says
we believe 1t no eXaggeratIon TO say
that better and more useful man than
Doctor Bailey does not exist in thc ma
ton. We know of no good work to
which he was not devoted, and such was
his ability, bis consistency, his freedom
from all partisan feeling, his superiority
to all personal ambitions, passions, and
strifes, that he moved at all times an If
rcsistable force in the accomplishment of
these works. He never lost on one hand
what he gained on another-never sacri-
feed the good he had achieved, in the
hope of greater good to be accomplish
ed, but fast anchored on eternal princi-
piles from which he never sweryed, he
moved straight on regardless of foes or
friends, in the accomplishment of his Ia
bors.

liens abroad, the law would have said SO
and the formal document by which for
eicner is mado citizen would have ex-
pressly stated that it WIS only valid in
this country. 1t states, on the contrary,
in the plainest words, that on such a day,
for such al d such considerations, ''the
said applicant WAS admitted citizen of
the United States Of America" No more
not word of limitation to this or that
place. Is there q court of law in the
world which, if called upon to interpret
this contract, would decide that it was on
" valid in certain localities, or that prior
circumstances, of which the United States
were cognizant at The time, could relieve
them from fulfilling their part Of il?
We repeat what we said in on, fist ar
ticle-there is nothing in the law or the
Constitution to just fy any distinction
among citizens. A man is a citizen, or he
is not. If he is not, he incurs no obliga-
tons and acquires 10 ghts. If he is, he
is bound to serve in the militia, to pay
taxes, to serve on juries, to defend the
country at need, and to fulfill each and
several of the obligations of citizenship;
in return for which the country is bound
to protect him wherever he goes. and in
whatsoever lawful undertaking he engages.
For the nation to shirk their part of the
bargain, after exacting from the citizen
fulfillment of his part is fraud.
That "Mr. Cass's doctrine will keep us
out of many difficulties is highly proba-
bic. Cowardice is often safe. There were
many excellent pcrscns who thought it
absurd for the United States to rush into
war in 1912 to protect American ships
from search; they, too, wanted to ''keep
out of difficulties" Nay, not few per-
sons of Mr.. Cass's age and responsibility
were very much opposed to getting into
difficulties with Great Britain about a
paltry stamp tax, just before that great
difficulty" the Revolution. But they
were ou.numbered. 1t will be so now.
Some day some new Secretary will take
up the case of a naturalized citizen who
shall have been outraged 10y a European
monarch, and will build a great reputa-
ton by undong Mr.. Cass's work. And
in those days people will think of Mr.. Cass
as we do now of the Tories of the Reyo-
ton or the Blue Light Federalists fl813.

respect.
There are hundred things that |
could mention, more valuable than repu a

science void of offense is another; the

suit of a reputation. 1t is supremacy
