The ''Wateh and Wait Company"
NEW YORK, October 6-Among tn,
"watch and wait company" at the Whit,
House, for the past three days, was Mr.. r
Barnwell, President of the Charleston
Mercury, and a son of the Hon. r. B
Rhett. Mr.. Rhett finally got an audienc,
with the President, and with an assump
tion of great importance proffered his ad
vice to Mr.. johnson as to the policy tha
should be persued towards the South, etc
Mr.. Rhett then visited the Freedmen;
Bureau and stated to General Howard that
his family had some enegroes-several hun.
/ dred in all-in Alabama, for whom hC
wanted an order of transportation, that
they might be brought at the expense OF
the government to South Carolina, where
it appears, these negroes belong, and from
which they were hurried by their owners
when General Sherman arrived in Savan-
nah and was threatening the liberation OF
all slave under military occupation. Mr.
Rhett made this absurd demand in such an
arrogant and Independent manner that
General Howard was compelled to order a
guard to eject the offender, but Rhett va
moosed before the order could beexecuted.

Public Lands.
The activity of the demand for public
lands continues with remarkable increase
throughout all the West. The reports from
local land agents to the general land office
of the business transacted during the month
of September indicate the extent of sales.
The office at Boonevill, Missouri, reports
2s, 900 acres of government land taken up
and actually settled upon, besides that the
cash sales amounted, during the same
month to nearly $4,000 The lands
bought for cash are mostly alternate re-
served railroad sections, which sell at $3.50
per acre. At Fort Dodge, Iowa, nearly
5000 acres are reported entered upon and |
settled, and at Nassau, Wisconsin, $1,000 |
from cash sales are reported.
The statement that the new $50 bonds |
of the 1000 dollar denomination were |
ready for sale, was in a measure prema-
ture. Five or six hundred copies have
been printed and perfected. 1t is true, but |
proposed not tocommence the delivery
of the bonds until there is a sufficient |
stock of all denominations TO fill the sub |
scriptiOn they come too. This will be in |
the course of ten days, detectives are dig |
ging away at the one hundred dollar com
pound interest note cOunterfeiting case.
1t is understood that alarge amount of con-
elusive evidence has been obtained in sew
aral parts of the country, and that several
persons have been arrested or put under sur
in accordance with it. The story of
that wonderful fraud will transpire in due
time.
Private information said to have been
here by certain parties, announc-
ng positively the election of b. G. Hum
Dhreys, rebel Brigadier General, as Gov
srnOr of Mississippi, creates some specula-
no., as to his eligibility. The assertion that
le is unparGolnised olied may prove untrue. South
.rn men here say thai ne he certainly applied
or pardon, that he was recommended
or Executive clemency by Governor
'harkey, and that he would scarcely
presume to solicit the suffrage of the State
Without an intimation it would be forth
oming in the event of his election, if he
las it not already in his pocket His can
Ass for Governor has been made with the
and consent of the Government
ifnOt at their instigation. His
'ardon is certain. Mr.. Humphrey was
xpelled from West Point in 1927.
