The editor of the Cincinnati Gazette,
who is in Washington, says in letter
to that paper that Postmaster Cresswen
will probably retire from the cabinet.
The causes for it he states as follows:
Cresswen, until lately, has been es-
teemed good officer. His opposition
to the ranking abuses made him many
enemies in Congress, but against these
he was sustained by the President. The
exposure of the Chorpenning claim,
however, has placed him under cloud
This was unquestionably a great swim
die, and the fact that CreswelFs former
law partner resigned his position in
the Post Office department to prose
cute the claim, tells with wonderful
effect against Cresswell. 1t is true
Congress passed a bill requiring this
claim to be settled precisely as it was
adjusted, but still Earle must have
known that it was a swindle, and il
shonld not have been left for a sixth
auditor to discover the rascality anG
stop it. Uuder the circumstances Ores
well ought to resign, and L think he will
do so at no distant day.

NEWSPAPERS IN KANsAs.-The editor
of the Atchison Champion, in an elabo-
rate article on Pettengill's "Advertis-
ers' Hand Book" speaking of the news
papers of Kansas, says:
''The number of papers published in
Kansas is given as thirteen dailies, seY-
tx-fiVe vyeeklies and twelve monthIies,
IN ar one hundred. Several old and a
number of new journals are omitted,
however. In fact, it is difficult to keep
the run of newspapers in Kansas, they
spring up, and some of them die, so rap
idly. The weekly newspapers in the
State are classified, politically, as fifty
eight Republican, nine Democratic, and
eight Independent"

THE FORM OF CLAIMS.

A great deal of embarrassment and
trouble has been occasioned among the
settlers on the Usage lands by the sur
vey recently made by the engineer
corps. They find that their original
lines did not fall in the correct places,
however pleasant they may have OF
would have been if properly located.
Some find that their improvements are
in one section, and the larger part of
their original claim in another. The
idea prevails that they must take par
ticular quarter of one section, and in
order to adjust matters by this rule they
have been trading of, buying up, jump
ing and quarreling. To get informa-
ton in regard to the matter our towns
man, Mr.. G. E. Kelsey, addressed Com
to which he received the following let
ter:
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
GEN'L LAND OFFICE, Feb. 10. 1S51.I
Mr.. Z. c. KELSEY, Emporia, Kansas: SIR:
l am in receipt of your letter of the Sd inst rel
alive to the form of claims made upon Usage
luuldu lUHuS.
In reply say that claim of 100 acres may
be made in one section, or in different sections
making $50 acres provided they are contiguous
to each other, but not with other lands inter-
yening. Very Respectfully,
WILLIS DRUMM0ND,
Commissioner.
From the above it will be seen that a
man who has made improvements upon
his claim does not necessarily lose them
if the section or quarter lines happens
to divide them from the larger part of
the claim. He can retain forty of one
quarter and three forties of another, if
it so happens that his claim is di-
vided by the newly established lines; or
he can hold his claim if one forty should
be in one section and three forties in an
other, provided, in all cases, that his 160
acres are in one body.
