DON,TLIKE HIM.

The Denver papers are severe on Gen.
Sherman, who in response to Governor
Hunts telegram asking permission to
raise troops when men were being
slaughtered in all directions, replied that
'the facts indicated great carelesness on
the part of the stage company" and ask
ed " where and against what Indians do
you propose campaignr' To which
the Ne1cs replies in an article headed
Murderous Stupidity"
''The question is an insult to Gov. Hunt, AN
insult TO the people of Colorado, and an ac-
| know ledgment that the man who asks it is not
| fit to command the department over which he
has been placed. "When should such a camp
aign be made? Nowl against what In
dians ?'' Those who are every day making war
on us. - --H-
We have not a vocabulary severe enough to
express our condemnation of General Sherman
| or to picture the contempt in which he will
be held by our people. His conduct is both
obstinate, stupid and criminal. We
can only suggest to the government that a
man with ordinary common sense be placed
over our department, and that Gen. Sherman
be permitted to retire to the "holy land. -
The Tribune goes after him in the fol-
lowing style.
And then we are not only threatened by the
Indians, but we are oyer-lain by that self-con-
ceited and rickety-headed General whose Pc
culiar glory was In marching great army
over a country where there no opposition.
The government has no interest in her child
rem, and has handed us over to that man whose
tastes every way, as well as his capa acties, bet
ter ct him to take sides with the savsges than
to fight against them.
Governor Hunt has issued the follow
ing very sensible call for volunteers.
We see no provision made for brigade
of Generals in it.

is TREASON oDIoUss


The eastern papers contain full details
of the recent hd6eds corpus case of JEFF
Davis. The comments of the Republican
press upon the action of Horace Greeley
in the case varies from mild dissent to
the severest denunciation. BY the re-
ports. it appears that Underwood, a lit
tie five-foot-eight judiciary, whom the
whirlpool of war threw to the surface in
Alexandria, was undecided as to what
he should do in the matter of admitting
Davis to bail until the arrival of Greeley.
1t was generally understood, however,
that he would refuse the application.
Greeley, Immediately on arriving in
Richmond, sought and obtained an in
terview with Underwood. The latter
came into Court the next morning with
his decision 1oTitten out ia .fuO, before the
argument had been heard. The Court was
opened with all due solemnity, the Dis
trict Attorney and Davis's counsel called
each other learned gentlemen few
times, the little judge read his little cut
and-dry decision, eighteen distinguished
gentlemen first of whom, in cCnsidera-
ton of the wholesale sacrifice he made of
what little confidence the loyal people of
the North have had in him for the last
five years, was Horace Greeley-stepped
forward and signed their names to the
bond, and jeff Davis was free; free to
be greeted with laundering cheers, in
defernce to which. out of respect for its
own dignity. the little court was obliged
to adjourn free to roll in a princely
coach through streets paved with bo-
quets; free to travel through the cities
of the North, and to receive the adula-
tions of those who aided him in endeav-
oring to destroy the republic; free to in
suit with his presence a million of Grip
pied Union soldiers and widows and
orphans of the war; free, while half a
million skeletons are mouldering to dust
beneath southern soil, from the destruc-
ton of battle and the starvation of prison
pens free, while nation is oppressed
with nearly three billions of debt, and
of all these effects he was the principal
cause. That this insult to justice and
loyalty would not have been, except for
the unwarrantable officiousness of Gree
ley, is an almost certainty. The pro-
priety of retaining Davis as a prisoner
may be questioned, but of the improprie-
ty of those who have at any time pre-
tended loyalty, rushing TO Richmond
and ostentatiously putting, what is in
reality, a premium on treason, there
canno; be a question. Horace Greeley
is a philosopher of too inconstant opin-
ions, of too sensational proclivities to be
at the head of the Union party, and his
record during the rebellion displays more
eccentric oscillations between loyalty
and treason than any other public mans
on the continent. If history does not
write him political pendulum, with a
big brain and minus back bone, his

In concluding these extracts, we may
here state that shortly after the murder
of Bozenan, General Meagher received
from General Sherman a telegram so in
finitely more disrespectful than the one
that has aroused the indignation of the
Coloradians that out of kindness towards
the man, who to say the least, did good
service in the war for the Union, we did
not giveit publicity. General Sherman,
probably thinks he is doing right, but
his idea of Indians does not come up to
the requirements of General who will
do anything worth his while in remain
ing on the Plains, or else he is playing
strategy too deep for Western people to
appreciate. -.. ....... 81.

THE MINERAL LAW.

Each Territorial subscriber to the
Posi- will receive with this number a
copy of the Mineral Law, with the in
structions of the Commissioner and the
form of blanks required under the sta
tute. The intent and character of this
ted it ARE not generally known and brief
history may be properly given. Among
the various measures suggested in Con
gress a couple of years since To produce
Government for the purpose of liquida-
ting the national debt without increasing
taxation, there was started a proposition
to sell the mineral lands of the United
States. Promising an immense reve-
nue., it at once became popular, and a
bill was introduced in the House by Ju-
liam of Indiana, which would have been
extremely prejudicial to the interests OF
the miners. The provisions of Julian's
bill was endorsed in substance by a reso-
luton passed in the House, and the bill
was referred to the Committee on Pub
lie Lands. The danger of the passage
of this bill was imminent, and a bold
move on the part of the Pacific delega-
tion became necessary. Senators Stew
art and Conness prevailed upon the Sec
retary of the Treasury, who had hitherto
favored Julian's bill, to prepare one in
his Department which contained all the
points favoring their constituents which
they could hope at that time to obtain,
and introduce it through some of the
Senators. The Secretary therefore drew
up a bill, which was introduced by Sen
ator Sherman, of Ohio, and was known
as the Sherman Bill. 1t was referred to
the Committee on Mines, of which Stew
art and Conness were members, who
were appointed to prepare a substitute.
which several weeks after was reported
in the Senate and finally passed. When
the bill went TO the House it was re-
ferred to the Committee on Public Lands,
of which Julian was Chairman. This
Committee then had the original Julian
House Hill, providing for the sale of the
mines, and the Stewart-Conness Bill,
providing for the issue of patents TO the
original owners. Julian insisted on re
porting his bill first, and although can
vass of the House showed an inclination
toward the Senate Bill, and the Commit
tee were favorably disposed to it, Julian
was intractable, the bill could not be
reached, and affairs were in as bad
shape as previously. A bill was mean
while passed in the House, known as the
Highly Bill, in regard to bitches. 1t was
short, had no resemblance whatever to
the Mining Bill, but related to the same
subject. When it came into the Senate,
as dernier resort, the Mining Bill was
tackled on to it as a substitute, passed
the Senate, and when returned to the
House, although Julian used his utmost
exertions to have it referred to his Com
mittee. it passed without amendment
and became law This explains why
this most important mineral bill is en-
tilted An Act granting the right of way
