IMPORTANT LAW CASE DECIDED I'VE
lately stated on the authority of CHI.
cago paper that the great land case OF
Geo G. Bates Us The Illinois Central
Railroad Company, had been decided in
favor Of the Company, aud that it was a
final disposition of the case, by which the
title of the railroad company to the prop
erty in dispatc is placed beyond future
question.
Mr.. Geo. G. Bates, who is the plaintiff
in error, informs the Chicago Times tht
this is mistake, and he explains the de.
cision in this way. He says
"rhe court in this cause decided that
the Sand Bar, the land in controversy,
was not part OF parcel of Robert A. KIN
zic's presumption entry OF north fractional
section 10, town l3 north, Of range IA
cast; thus reversing the decision Of the
Commissioner of the General Land
Office, in 1886; the decision Of ;. Burch-
ard, the Solicitor of the General Land
Office, in March, 1887; aud the decisions
of Justice Mclean aud Judge Drum
mon I, on both the trials in Chicago. -
Judge Drummonds ruling that the title
was washed away with the surface of the
'Sani Bar was not sustained. Whether
the Illinois Central Railroad have now
affirmed their title or not, will be seen
hereafter"

Soldiers of the Army of the Potomac
For a long time have kept you mac
tive, but not without purpose. You
were to be disciplined, armed and in
structed. The formidable artillery you
now have, had to be created. Other
armies had to move and accomplish cer-
tain results.
have held Won back that you might
give the death-blow to the rebellion which
has distracted this once happy country.
The patience you have shown and your
confidence in your General are worth q
dozen victories.
These preliminary results are now &C.
complished i feel that the paternal
labors Of many months have produced
their fruit. The army of the Potomac
is now real army, magnificent in mate
rial, admirable in discipline and instruc-
ton, and excellently equipped and armed.

Foster, in one Of his speeches, said they
had something else to do besides giving
the negro his freedom, and added:
1--WE must put him IN the Senate and
admit him in our social circles. We have
got to swallow the negro whole, with all
the wool on him. When we can do
that, then we shall have the millennium,

The Great "PhiIOIOger."

Joslin says, abolitionism means the
republican party. We knew it described
a certain class who have always acted
with that party, but who have been re-
garded as troublesome excl escences, and
only hung on to for the sake of their
votes; and they in turn hanging on to
tho party, with the intention and hope OF
making it, what Joslir says it is--aboli-
ton. We had the charity, and as we
supposed, the sasacity, not 10 think So.
We supposed abolitionism meant Sumner,
Greeley, Beecher, Checver Loveioy,
Joslin, etc, etc, personal liberty bills,
secession and subiugation, underground
rail roads, mob law, and John Brown
raids; and that the republican party
proper meant, Union, Constitution and
law, as opposed to abolition, secession
aud conquest.
lie also says, the Democratic party
means secession. If it does, then the
republican party means secession too, for
both parties are engaged alike, side by
side, in one and the same work of sup
pressing the rebellion and crushing ont
treason. Try it again, Mr.. "Philologer,'
and zee if you can't do better next time
Don't be discouraged" Mistakes will
happen in the best Of families" -,

The Fight Of the Lcviathans.

The recent terrible engagement be-
tween the iron-clad monsters Merrimac
aud Monitor, near Fortress Monroe, re-
minds one of the intensely poetical de-
scription of "sca fight" by Campbell,
in his incompatible lyric, "The Battle of
the Baltic" The excitement, the har-
rowing anxiety of those at the Fort and
on board TIE feet the dauntless mtre-
pidity displayed by officers and men,
heroes, all, who we're nerved to duty by
its laundering admonitions,
"when each gun
From It's adamantine lips
Sent desth-shade rou I'd the ships,
Like the hurricane eclipse
OF the sun"
The immense interests at stake, the scene,
aud the occasion, the like of which has
never been upon either continent, are full
to intensity Of passion and emotions I'M
utterabe in plain and homely prose. We
give brief extract from an account in

WHERE ARE THE PROOFS,

1t will be recollected that in an extra
issued under our own signature, dated
March 3, we branded the statements
made by the editor Of the EhtrPr'' and
Mayor Mott, that there was or had been a
secret secession lodge or association in
this city as nqaalyfediy false, and de.
manded proofs. Two weeks have elapsed
and the proofs are not yet forthcoming.
We again make the demand, and call
upon the parties mentioned either. TO di-
vulge, or acknowledge publicly, or by
silence, which "gives consent" that they
originated the "roorback" for political
effeot-"A good enough Morgan till
after election"
Treason is no light offense, to be
charged, like a peccadillo or blunder,
"for fun" but capital crime, knowl
edge of which, and refusal TO divulge,
renders parties so refusing virtually &C
cessories to that crime. Bring forward
your evidence, therefore, Messrs. Enter
prise & Co. Clear your own skirts Of
suspicion of completely in the secession
business, OF acknowledge that you have
played. scurvy trick for very small
consideration.
