The Main Buffalo Herd in Kansas.

la those parts of the West where the buf.
falo disappeared more than a generation ago,
the reports Of the immense herds still giving
life to the plains beyond seem almost fabu-
lous. Several Eastern artists of note are
now on an expedition to the Rocky Noun
tains, and under the head of Letters from
Sundown," one of the party writes of the
main buffalo herd of Kansas: "Ihe SIGHT

memory. always thought that the buffalo
stories which we hear, and the pictures which
we see, must be greatly exaggerated In

Chickering's Relative to the Burial Place of
President Lincoln.

A Springfield, Illinois, correspondent of
the Louisville journal says that there is con.
siderable feeling in that city in relation to
the nterment of the late President. lie
writes:
While waiting in the barber shop this
morning for our turn under the hands Of the
knight of the razor, we became an eager list,
ener to a conversation carried on, in a some,
what vehement manner by a number of gen,
tleman who were also patiently waiting on
the barber ut is shame!" exclaimed one
"The city should not submit to the outrage"
added another. "Chicago is at the bottom
of the affair."" chmed in the third" Money
makes the mare goY' calculated the fourth.
We were patient, and soon learned the
cause of the discussion.
More than week ago the city of Spring
field, the home of Abraham Lincoln, desiring
to do honor to his memory, purchased at a
cost of more than fifiv thousand dollars a
beautiful tract of land for the burial place of
the late lamented President. The site is a
lovely one aud on it the people proposed to
erect a costly monument; one fit to cornmem
crate the life of the distinguished patriot and
statesman. Nothing had occurred to inter
rupt the work until yesterday, when dis,
patch was received from Mrs Lincoln, thro'
Secretary Stanton, directing that the re'
mains of her husband be deposited in the
vault Of Oak Ridge Cemetery. vault had
been built on the ground purchased 10y the
city, and every preparation made for the bu-
rial there; therefore this dispatch sounded
somewhat strange to the Springfeldles.-
They regarded it as AS a step toward remov.
lug the body of the late President to Cnica

moneyed men of Chicago bought the Legis
lature last winter, and that they are nov
trying to buy the interment of Mr.. Lincoln
at that city. They further assert that Mrs
Lincoln has no particular love for Springfield
| and-we must write it--even in this darl
hour of her sorrow, many of them speak IN
kindly Of her. We regret that this state o
affairs exists and trust that the difficulty
may be speedily adjusted and that all bitter
feeling may soon pass away. We should not
become flock of vullures, to wrangle and
quarrel over body before it finds the poor
shelter of tomb. Nothing could have Civ

have known that such bitter contention

President johnson,

The President says we must Judge what bis
course will be 10y his past record. Let him
stick to it. In a speech made to the Sd Min
nesota regiment, at Nashville, on April 23
1868, when Governor of Tennessee, he said:
1T had been charged by the apostles o
treason that the North had come here to set
negroes free. He knew the North-had
travelled among her people, and he repelled
the charge with scorn. There were aboli
ton fanatics there, it was true sectionalists
trators-brotbers of Southern secessionsts,
but these creatures constituted but faction
of the great body Of the North. The voice
