Danger of Hevcnue Officials in Georgia.
Assessor Belcher, of the Third Georgia dis
trict, has forwarded to Commissioner Delano
the positive declnaGon Of William F.. Haygood,
who, it will be remembered, was appointed AS
sistant Assessor of the Thirteenth division of
that district, including the counties of Wilkes
and Taliaferro. He states that Mr.. Haygood
would not serve for fifty dollars % day, nOtwith-
standing the tender of troops made by General
Terry, and James B. Wilson has been recon-
mended for the position.
From the tenor of Mr.. HaygoOd's decination,
il would seem that the resistance to the revenue
officers there was so great us TO make it rs much
as an officers life is worth to attempt to enforce

Conference with the Osu2e Indians.
Representative Clarkes conference with the
Usage Indians in Kansas is not approved at that
Indian Bureau. The treaty complained of was
made May 81, 1868, and by its terms the Osage-
agreed to sell about 8 O0O 600 acres of their land
in Kansas for $l,600,000 to the Leayeuworth
| Lawrence, and Galveston Railroad Company
and to remove and settle in the Indian country
south of Kansas. Immediately after the
negotiation Of the treaty, strenuous
1 efforts were made 10 prevent its
ratification, and Mr.. Clarke appeared quite pro-
minent in the movement. So far the attempt
has succeeded, and the treaty is still awaiting
the final action of the Senate. The agents who
negotiated the treaty, in a report submitted
| agree that the Indians were disappointed wher
the treaty failed to be ratified. From presen
| indications, Mr.. Clarke will not meet with mucl
| encouragement when he comes here with hl
| report.
| The Hon. John Titus
| will leave for Arizona to assume the duties o
Associate Justice of the United States Distric
Court for that Territory, to reside at Tucson
Mr. Titus was formerly Chief Justice of Utah fol
six years, and will leave a lucrative practice il
