Theodore Tilton, of the Golden Age,
has caused recently the publication
Of letter, he says he wrote in 1871
to Henry c. Bowen of the Independent,
touching the scandal that Victoria
Woodruff has been heralding, in re-
gard to Henry Ward Beecher. In this
letter Mr.. Tilton says. that Mr.. Bowen
had charged adultery upon Mr.. Beecher
and that the latter had confessed his
offence to Bowen and in the most sup.
plant manner begged that he be not
exposed. That afterwards Mr.. Bowen
denied this, and that out of this grew
the troublelwhich caused the dismissal
of Tilton from the independent. We
have this to say OF all this, that Mr..
Tliton's word as a witness against
IL. G. Bowen and Mr.. Bcechcr is
worth but little. In relation 10 the
matter OF Mr.. TiIton leaving the
Independent, it had to be done in that
papers self defense. Tilton wrote an
article adopting in the main the free
love doctrines Of Mrs. Woodruff, and
at once the tens of thousands Of read
ers Of the Independent were schockcd
at such sentiments, and ii Mr.. Tilton
had not been promptly dismissed, il
would have lost nine-tenths of its cir
culation. This alone was the cause Of
Mr. Tilton vacating the editorial chair
of that paper, and the best of reasons
IT was too. This after story of Tilton's,
is not entitled to particle of weight.

A "REMINISCENCES,

In 1882 tho Modoc Indians were en-
gagged III a war with the settlers
residing in the region ofthe lava beds,
aud a man by the name of BENJAMIN
Wright, raised a militia company from
the people and proceeded to chastise
The Modocs for alleged depredations
on the whites. Three battles were
fought, but resulted in no decided ad.
vantage, and Captain Wright retired
with his men and after having added
TO his force by ealisting number
more of the settlers, he returned 10
try it over again. The Indians beine
poorly provisioned and clothed. de-
sired an interview, with view to
agreeing upon a treaty. An interview
was arranged and was held nearly on
the same spot where the massacre of
Gen. Candy and Thomas took place.
1t is said that Captain Wright had
information that led him to believe
thai the Indians intended treachery.-
Whether his information was correct
or not, certain it is, that on signal
by Wright, the whites fell upon the
Indians and killed eighteen of them,
seven only escaping. Captain Jack
was then nine years old, John Srhon.
chin nineteen, aud Boston Charley and
hooker Jim, each two wears old
several years after, Captain Wright
was appointed Indian Agent, and was
murdered and his body horribly mu.
iaIatcd by "a Modoc Chief, by the name
OF Enos. Enos was taken and hung.
but gloricd in the accomplishment of
his revenge while on the scaiiold. If,
we have u correct account of Ibis
event OF twenty years ago, it very
plainly gives reason sufficiently CO.
gent with an Indian for The revenge,
resulting in The most horrible murder
OF Gen. Candy and Rev. Thomas.

Preamble md Resolutions passed by
Columbia Grange.

WHEREAS, The time has fully come,
as we believe, when it is the impera-
tive duty of every friend of free gov
eminent, to use legitimatcly. all the
power and influence he may have, to
control and regulate the gigantic rail-
road mOnopolies and monied power
of corporations. And
WHEREAS, The railroad extortions.
and unjust determinations against in
dividuals and localities, haye become
so greviOus, that longer forbearance
ceases to be virtue, And
WHEREAS, Our great agricultural in
terests have been ignored and treated
as of trivial importance, by both ma
tional and state legislation. And
WHEREAS, So much of the time of
legislation has been spent in useless
harangues upon election hobbies, the
passage Of railroad land subsidies, the
back salary stealings bill, the invcsti-
CATION Of credit mobiliers, of lobby
bribery Ofmembers, that the necessary
legislation for the development and
regulation Of the material interests of
our country has been neglected.
Therefore, RESOLVED, That we will
not support any man for office, who
has been in any way connected with
these swindles and frauds.
Resolced, That honesty, capacity and
fidelity are the true tests for Office, and
that we will not support any man des-
titute of these qualifications, through
party influence.
Resolced, That we will support,
without distinction of party. men who
are identified and in sympathy with
our interests.
RESOLVED, That a protective tariff, is
class legislation, calculated to benefit
the rich at the expense OF the poor
fostering and enriching the eastern
manufacturer at the expense Of agri-
culture.
Resolved, That this preamble and
resolutions be published in Ottumwa

The following is summary of the
condition ofthe wheat crop, lust issued
from the Agricultural Department:
On the first week OF April consid-
cradle portion of the northern belt of
the winter wheat area was covered
with straw. The condition of that
which was visible gave promise OF
general exemption from winter injury.
leevlng the crop subject to the meteor
o!ogical vicissitudes of April. In the
Middle States great improvement
upon the showing of last spring is
everywhere conceded, especially in
New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The
prospect in the States south of Mary
land Is less favorable than last year,
ana there are indications of diminish
ing area in the cotton States, though
acreage is not intended to be given in
this report. Michigan, the only State
of the nothern border in which winter
wheat is mainly grown, presents green
and vigorous growth wherever snow
has disappeared sufficiently to reveal
1t, and Ohio makes far more favorable
returns than last year. In Kentucky a
more checkercd showing is made, Civ
ing the present appearance decidedly
unfavorablc cast, with indications Of
future improvement as the weather
becomes settled. In Indiana and Illi-
nois the unfavorable returns outnum-
Der the rose colored; the dry autumn
retarding seeding and termination,
and leaving the plants too weak and
shallow rooted to endure well the
effects of winter changes of tempera.
ture' Similar causes affect the condi.
ton of wheat in Missouri, but a prca,
improvement oyer last year is report
ed and still more favorable condi.
ton exists in Kansas. In Wisconsin
Minnesta, Iowa, and Nebraska, as il
known, very little winter wheat is pro.
duced, but full reports are given Of
such experiments. The indications
from California all point to another
year of great abundance, scarcely q
county reporting an unfavorable con.
dition. As whole the wheat pros.
pect at the close of winter is more IA.
vorable than at the same date in 1872

We suppose the idea in the mind
Oh Congressman Walden, when he
distributed his hack pay among the
counties of his district. was that his

money for the services OF its member
as any other district for the services OF
IT'S representative. and that proper

Tue money themselves, have made va

have taken the ground that the money
does not OF right belong to their mem.

the money belongs TO the United States
