Installation of General l. Lec-The Gov
ernMent Lands-B. O. Humphrys
Reported Elected Governor Of Mis-
sissippi.
fBy Union Line

BY Union Line
NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Robert L. Lee, ex-
General in Chief of the rebel armies, was
Installed President of Washington Col
lege at Lexington, Virginia, on last Mon
dSy. Thelceremonies.w were of a very unaus
tentatious character in compliance with
Gen Lees request, but contrary to the
wishes of many connected with and TAX
ing an interest in the college, who de.
sired to have the installation attended
with considerable pomp and display.
A special to the Herald from Washing
ton 9Th says: The activity of the de-
mand for public lands continues with re-
markable increase. Throughout all the
West the reports from local land agents
TO the General Land Office, of the busi-
ness transacted during the month of
September indicate the extent of sales.
The officer at Boonville, Missouri, reports
$4,000 acres of government land taken up
and actually settled upon, besides the
nett cash sales which amounted during
the same month to nearly $4,000. The
lands bought for cash are mostly alter
nate reserved railroad sections which
sell at $50 per acre. At Fort Dodge,
Iowa, nearly 5000 acres are reported en-
tered and settled upon, and at Menasha,
Mississippi, $4,000 from cash sales re-
ported.
Gen. Hardee T. Landers, OF Wisconsin,
lies dangerously i'll with consumption in
this city. But little hope exists even
of partial recovery. .s.r
The statement that the new 500 bonds
of the $1,000 denomination were ready for
sale, was in measure premature. Five
or six hundred copies have been printed
and perfected, it is true, but it is pro.
posed not to commence the delivery OF
these bonds until there is sufficient
soock of all denominations to fill the sub
scriptions as they come in. This will be
in the course of ten days.
Detectives are digging away at the one
hundred dollar compound interest note
counterfeiting case. 1t is understood
that a large amount of conclusive evil
dence has been unearthed in different
parts of the country, and that several
persons have been arrested or put under
surveillance in accordance with 1t, the
whole story of that wonderful fraud will
transpire in due time. Private informa-
ton said to have been received here by
certain parties announcing positively the
election of B. g. Humphreys, rebel
Brigadier General, as Governor of Missis-
sippi, creates some speculation as to his
eligibility. The assertion that he is un-
pardoned may prove untrue Southern
men here say that he certainly applied
| for pardon, that he was recommended for
executive clemency by Gov. Sharkey, and
| that he would scarcely presume to solicit
the suffrage of the State without an in
timation that it would be forthcoming in
the event of his election. J. he has it not
already in his pocket, his canvass for
Governor has been made with the
knowledge and consent Of the govern
ment authorities, if not at their instiga-
tion. AS corallary his pardon is Ger
tain.
Mr.. Humphreys was expelled from West
Point by Court Martial in 1927, before
graduating

Among the watch and wait company at

/ was r. Barnwell Rhett, of the Charleston

lR. finally got an audience with the Pres
ident, and with an assumption OF great
proffered his advice to Mr..
johnson as to the policy that should be
pursued toward the South, etc. Mr..
Rhett then visited the Freedmens Bu-
reau, and stated to Gen Howard that his
family had some negroes, several hun
dred in all, in Alabama, for whom he
wanted an order of transportation, that
they might be brought at government
expense to South Carolina, where it ap-
pears these negroes belong, and whence
they were hurried by their owners when
Gen. Sherman arrived in Savannah and
was threatening the liberation of slaves
under military occupation. Mr.. Rhett
made this absurd demand in such an ar
rogant, impudent manner that General
Howard was compelled to order q guard
to eject the offender, but Rhett vamosed
before the order could be executed.

measured by the unseen jewels of sentiment that

think the less of present from her husband for its

such present as true wife would like to receive

loves his wife, and would therefore tighten her heart
by tightening her household cares will find just such
season of festivty and gratefulness The prices of
the machines, which are marvelously simple and re-
quire no mechanical kill to manage are from fifty
