THE decision of Attorney General
Stanbery, declaring the contract made
by James Harlan, Secretary of the Int,
rior, to sell 800, 900 acres of public lands
illegal and void, was based on the fol
lowing grounds: First, the power to sell
provides for sale for cash. This is dis,
regarded by the contract, which sells
on long credit. Secondly, the sale is
not at the rate per acre required by law
Thirdly, for objections in the matter OF
the consideration or price to be paid for
these lands-and fourthly, because there
is no reservation in the contract of SC
much of these lands as were occupied by
actual settlers. These are simply the
legal objections. 1t is believed, beside
that Harlan was personally and cor,
ruptly interested in the sale, which was
fraud from beginning to end, as no
such corporation as the Connecticut
Emigrant Society, the alleged purcha,
ser, exists. The Rev. Secretary Harlan
is the last of the shining lights of loyal
ty who has been found out in the char
acteristic business of robbing the Gov
ernment.

rights, he would do just as Governor
sw,SS has done. He would peremp-
torilv remove those Boards of Registra-
t;op who trample upon law and order
and right, and would appoint in their
stead men who would respect their
oaths and obey the Constitution of the
State.
In the contest that has arisen in Bal
timore, the Democratic and conserva-
tive men everywhere, and especially in
West Virginia, are strongly in sympa-
thy with Governor Swami and the Fed
eral government If volunteers are
needed to sustain the Governors posi-
ton and secure obedience to law, West
Virginia will send her quota OF troops
without waiting for draft.

THE CoSrrpERArr CRUISER sHESAS-

THE CONFEDERATE CRUISER SHENAN-
DoAH.-Another phase in the exciting
and romantic history of the confeder-
ate crusier Shenandoah comes to us. II
will be remembered that at the conclu-
sion of the civil war in America, this
vessel was brought into this port BY
her confederate captain and crew, and
given up to the Federal authorities.
She was fitted up for voyage to New
York, which port, however, she never
reached, as a severe storm drove her
back disabled to the Mersey, where she
has remained ever since. During the
last few days she has been sold to
Messrs. Flemming & Smith, of Londsn,
for Messrs. Stoddart, Brothers, of this
port, the real owners now being his
Royal highness the Sultan of Zanzibar,

we fancy, known but to limited cir
Gle Of readers. In this prOsaic age, who
could have dreamt of so strange an end
ing TO the career of vessel which
was for months the terror of American
shipping, and which nearly involved
two great countries in war.

sherman and the Radicals.

A rrlmor that General Sherman will
succeed Stanton in the war Office is a
thunderclap to the radicals.
1t is excellent evidence that Sherman
is the proper man for the position that
the mere rumor of such an appointment
is cause of so much apprehension
Sherman has always been a cause OF
apprehension to traitors. He got a
"big scare" on the rebels at the south
ern segment of the circle; and now the
mere rumor of his coming has afforded
a bigger scare to rebels at the opposite
side of the circle.
The thing is in nutshell. Sherman
is a Union man. He believes in the
Union, and fought or it. He has never
done or said thing that opposed the
Union. Why, then, does the rumored
appointment of this consistent Union
man throw the radicals into a perspira-
ton of alright 7 Have they reason to
fear Sherman because he hates traitors,
or is it because he loves the Union
Which horn of this logical bull do the
black republicans prefer to be impaled

stanton,s Removal

The Rochester Union, speaking OF the
probable removal of Secretary Stanton
and the appointment of W. T. Sherman,
indulges in the luxury of expressing its
opinion very freely of the brusque Sec
retary. 1t says: Threatened exigencies
render it necessary that an honest and
brave man, instead of treacherous and
cowardly villain, should hold the
portfolio of war, so that there
NAV be perfect accord between the Ex-
ccntive, the General of the Armies, and
the Military Secretary. Sherman
possesses the requisite qualifications.
His views as to the Southern, situation
and its requirements are in full accord
with those of johnson and Grant. And
what is more, there would be retribu-
tive, poetic justice is superceding Stan
ton by the great Captain whom he
sought to disgrace and ruin after the
negotiations with Joe johnson and
from whom at the grand review at
Washington before the army and as
sembled thousands, he received such q
cutting rebuke in the spurning OF his
proffered hand as no one but Stanton
would brook in silence.

The Election in the City.

The election in Ohio county yester-
ros tho uost exciting and hotly con-
+os+od struggle that has taken place
here in many years. At the time OF the
present writing we know nothing def
nitely as TO the result, but presume that
the whole Democratic and Comserva-
five ticket has been elected, but what
the majorities are we are unable to say.
The Radicals worked zealously and in
dustriously. Their plans had been
well laid and their arrangements for
polling their full vote were as nearly
perfect as they could make them. They
seemed to be nerved with the energy OF
desperation, and they labored harder
and more diligently than ever before,
or than they will ever be able to labor
again. They have done their utmost
and their best. With any thing less
than the almost superhuman exertions
they have put forth they would moi
have polled more than three-fourths Of
the votes their ticket received yester,
day.
Upon the other hand, the Democrats
also generally worked well. In some
of the townships were especial and
hearty thanks are due for the activity
they displayed. In Others the work
was not as well done as we could wish,
and the returns will probably show a rel
alive Democratic loss. The radicals, as
a general thing, labOred harder than
the conservatives and probably polled
more nearly their entire strength than
we. But still we would not under
rate nor speak slightingly OF the eff
forts made in every Ward by the lovers
of good order and peace. They fought
manfully and well, and an equal
effort in almost any subsequent
campaign will give to our ticket ma
jority in comparison with which those
heretofore gained will seem as trities
The great thing is-the Democratic and
conservative party is right 1t is labor
ing for the establishment of principles
known to be correct, and the lapse OF
time will only serve to strengthen the
convictions of the people in this regard
Let us take courage and press forward
animated by the successes of the past
and determined to win still greater
victories in the future.

FoRSEYis laboring to excite a mob
spirit in Baltimore because the Cover
nor of Maryland proposes to investigate
certain allegations against the Police
Commissioners of the city, charging
them with gross abuse of power in the
discharge of their duties by depriving
citizens of their legal right of suffrage.
If these charges are verified it viii be
the duty of the Governor to remove
them, and in case he does so the Radi-
cal press urge an armed resistance.
But Governor Wells, of Louisiana,
threatens to remove the sheriffs of the
State for not obeying his wishes, and
this, the Radicals declare, is all right
Whatever a Conservative Governor may
do is wrong, but a Radical Executive
is immaculate.

The BALTIMORE MOB AND THE Po-
LIcE.-As an evidence Of the spirit
which animates the Baltimore Police
Commissioners, and the way in which
they preserve the public peace in that
city, a correspondent furnishes the fol-
lowing fact: A few days ago, at noon,
within a stones throw Of the Police
Commissioners Office, and in the pres
ence Of five policemen, a Radical mob
tore down the American flag and car
ried it of, dragging it through the
street Immediately past the Office Of the
Commissioners. One of the Commits
sioners (Hindes) directed the policemen
to replace the tom and sOiled emblem
of nationality, but no arrests were
made subsequently one or two Of the
rioters were arrested, but Immediately
released.

LIFE ON THE PLAINS.
Advenfures Of Kit Carsen-.Disap'
pearnnee of the Indians.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial has had an interview with
Kit Carson, who communicated to him
the following interesting reminiscen,
ces:
All the Indians, hunters and trappers,
ride with short stirrups. / am almost
bow-legged from it. 1t is more I'M
lportanf to the Indian than the white
man, as it istonly by aid of the stirrup
that he can shift his position, hanging
down on onesside, so as to conceal all
his body buthis leg. His leg is all you
have to fire at, as he throws himself on
the side buttocks, OF around the neck OF
the horse. On this account, also, they
hang the stirrups well forward.
Some one efeferred to Carson's intimate
knowledge of Indian strategy. why,
yes, 1 am up to good many OF their
tricks, but they fooled me once-they
fooled me pretty bad that time. Pll
tell you about it. 1t was Inlet me see
yes, 1896. There were six of us
hunters out after buffalo, up in the
the Snake country. We had made a
pretty good hunt, and came into camp
at night, intending to start next morn
| ing with our hunt. Well, we camped.
Had good many dogs with us, some OF
them good dogs. They had barked a
good deal, and we heard wolves. As
lay by the fire, saw or two big wolves
snealing around the camp-one of them
quite in it, Gorden wanted to fire, but
would not let him for fear of hitting
some of the dogs. -.
/ had inst a little suspician that
the wolves might be Indians, but when
I saw them turn short round, and heard
the snap of their teeth when the dogs
came too llose to one of 'em, felt easy
then, and made sure it was wolf. The
Indian fosIed me that time. ConfOund
the rascal becoming animated, 'con-
found thelrascal, do you think he didn't
have two old buffalo bones in his hand
that he cracked together every time
that he turned to snap at the dogs !
Well, by and by, we dozed off to sleep,
and it wasn't long before was awoke
by crash and blaze. l jumped
straight for the mules and held 'em. If
the Indians had been smart, they'd a
had us all, but they run as soon as they
fred. They killed but one of us-poor
Davis. lie had five bullets in his body
and eighf in his buffalo robe. The In
dians werega band of Sioux, on the war
path after the Snakes, and came on us
by accidest. They tried to waylay us
next morping, but we killed three of
'em, inclpding their chief
When I first went over to Califor-
MIA in 1919, the valleys were full of In
dian tribes. Indians were thick every
where, and saw great deal of some
large and fourishing tribes. When
was there again in 1859 they had all
disappeared, and when inquired about
certain tribes had seen on the spot,
was told by the people living there that
they had never heard of them.

the amount of money expended by the
Radical Executive Committee in con-

contest with about six hundred dollars.

rejected boulder at the audience as
gracefully as David slung the
little smooth stone at the giant. She
was severe on President johnson, COM
pairing him to all the tyrants of any
standing in ancient or modern history
She told about Dick Taylor's making
Union men dig their own graves, and
about Burb Blackburn's shooting two
little Union girls. She brought up the
God-send for the Radicals, the New
Orleans riots, also the Memphis massa.
