reason why the prairie between Iseguin and
New Braunfels was not settled, that it had
been in litigation for many years. We wish

BUTLER AND HIS LETTER.


We have before US in the jackson (A4iss.)
Clarion, a fac aineilo of the letter written by
Ben Butler to Governor Powers, of Missis,
slppi, inquirng concerning the amount Of
the repudiated bonds of that State, now
amounting with interest to thesum of thirty
millions. The Beast writes albold hand
and quite plain for a lawyer. It is short
and to the point, showing he meant bust
ness. That business could have been moth
ing less than this-fer no other motive can
be assigned, unless he is thinking of wri-
ting history of the State in the first place,
to ascertain the exact.amount of the indebt-
edness, then to buy it all up for mere
song, as it could be, and then, through
7be aid Of his son-in-law, as Governor
f Mississippi, to secure the payment of
2 he whole amount, OF the interest thereon,
us realizing an immense fortune for him
g and little Amee as partner. It sabold
skulation, worthy the genius of the great
Geral who immortalized himself on
sPos. But there is chance that it may
< neySucceed The whole thing depends
on Z election of his little son, Ames
The l'nOcrats of Mississippi have become
SO aiaied, and so fearful of the election of
tins ntresident representative of himself
and daey7in-law, that they have concluded
!. TO run nFandidate of theirown and sup

against An, whom he hates as he does a
snake or a)athsome little toad. Under

TIE Democrats of El Paso have declared
in favor of Judge VIM. II. Russell, of Cam
eron, as their first choice for Senator, and
for Mr.. Louis Cards, of El Paso, as Repre-
sentative. The first named gentleman is
already well known. The second, Mr.. Car
dis, gentleman of Spanish descent, is not
only an Intelligent and well-informed man,
but has worked faithfully to the peril of his
life and property against the band of Radi-
cal outlaws who have ruled his section for
years. 1t is mainly due to Mr.. Cards that

2. That he never went to work to in'
duce Congress to change the law.
8. That he never, by word or letter
exchanged views with Mr.. Boutwell,,
Mr.. Sherman, or Mr.. Garfield on the
subject.
4 That, as he never sought by dis.
cussions or otherwise TO influence legis-
lative action on the subject, the change
Of the Administration was in no wise
due to him.
When q man holds the high position
OF Judge of the United States Court
he thus plaes himself before the public in
making broad and emphatic assertion oi
fact as a reason why he should be paid
$4,000, and then upon oath a. broadly
and emphsiicslly declares that the
statements are false in every particular,
there can be but one Judgment and that
is, that his seat on the Federal bench
should be vacated instantly.
For bold and uublushing falsehood
this case OF Judge Sherman's will com
pare with that OF ColfaI, Patterson,
Caldwell and Pomeroy. Judge Sher-
man is his own sccuser. Swearing that
the statements in his letter were false
merely fastens upon him the disgrace oi
making demand Tor services he never
rendered, and OF fabrication OF evidence
to support the fraudulent demand.

Judge sherman's Case.-A sublime
and perspIeuous liar!
From the Chicago Tribune

From the Chicago Tribune.l
In this letter the one dated March
27] Judge Sherman asserts that be die
each OF the following things
|. That be 20 enfuenced the subor-
dinate officers OF the Treasury tha,
they construed the revenue law 70 re-
lieve bankers and brokers from the
payment OF heavy tax, but that Mr..
Boutwell,. coming to hear OF it, reversed
the order
2. That be then suggested an appeal
to Congress, and received q written pro,
mise Of $4,000.
3 "In consideration Of this pro-
mise II went TO work aud had an inter
view with Mr.. Boutwell,, and with John
Sherman, chairman OF the Senate FL
nance Committee, with Mr.. Garfield,
and other prominent members OF Con-
gress," and the policy was adopted Of
repeating the tax.
4. BE claims that this result was
brought about by discussions raised,
and influences used BY me-"
This was tie statement msde by him
when he was demanding the $4,000
fee promised for procuring the change
in the law. Now, when brought to face
the brokers OF whom be demanded the
money, he states on oath:
!. That he never sought to influence
anybody to have the law constructed
differently.

: Lamison, OF Ohio, enquired whether
Mr.. Ames knew of the value OF the
stock wheu he bsrgained with the
other members.
Mr.. Merrick replied that he certainly
did; he knew it was fraud; he wanted
to get men interested 30 that they
would act with him. Mr.. Ames with
held information which, if he had told,
would have deferred other members
from taking the stock.
In reply to a question by Shellaber-
ger, Mr.. Merrick repeated that there
was no evidence that Ames told one OF
the members with whom be bargained OF
the real valne OF the stack. II it could
have been ascertained that Ames did
explain the relation OF the two COM
panies to each other, the Committee
would have found them equally guilty
with Ames, but under the evidence the
Committee could not find there men
guilty of the reception OF bribss.
With reference to the case OF Mr..
Brooks, Mr.. Merrick said the committee
were sure he must have known the re-
lation of the Credit Mobilier and the
Union Pacific railroad. He was en-
gagged with Durant and others, and he
could not have failed to know the rela-
ton. No one could fail to see guilty
knowledge, because it was IN proof that
he had the stock transferred to Nelson,
because, being a Government Director
he could not hold the stock.

The Re-mappirg OF Virginia, West
Virginia, Maryland and Pennsyl-

The Re-mappirg or Virginia, West
Virginia, Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania.
To the Editors Of the Register:
The question OF giving the counties
OF Ohio, Brooke. Hancock and Marshal
to Pennsylvania; Accomac and North.
hampton to Maryland; and anne1ing
Washington, Allegheny and Garrett OF
Western Maryland together with the
valley counties of Virginia to West
Virginia, is being discussed by some OF
the newspapers of the two Virginlas,
The first question to be considered is,
how is this to be done? Section /, oi
article IL, of the Constitution Of West
Virginia expressly declares that the
counties OF Barbour, Berkley, Boone,
Bra1ton, Brooke, Cabell, Calhoun,
Clay, Doddridge, Fayette, Gilmer,
Grant, Greenbriar. Hampshire, Ham
cock, Hardy, Harrison, Jackson, JET
ferson, Ksnawha, Lewis, Lincoln,
Logan, Marion, Marshall, Mason,
Mcdowell, Mercer, Mineral, Mon
ongalia, Monroe, Morgan, Nicholas,
Ohio, Pendleton, Pleasants, Pocshon-
tas, Preston, Putnam, Raleigh, Ran
dolph, Richie, Rosne, Summers, Tay
lor, Tucker, Tyler, Upshur, Wayne,
Webster, Wetzel, Writ, Wood and Wy
oming shall constitute and form the
State of West Virginia. No provision
is made, a. was the case in the old con
stitution, for the admission or annexlng
of new territory, except by an amend
ment to the Constitution. We take II
that q majority OF the people OF this
State would hesitate long before they
would be willing to surrender to the
State of Pennsylvania the rich and
popuous counties Of Ohio, Marshall
Brooke and Hancock, and the people
OF Old Virginia would be slow To
give couseut to the wealthy counties Of
the valley, and the people OF Mary land
her rich counties including the city OF
Cumberland to annex themselves to
West Virginia. The time for
re mapping the States OF Virginia, West
Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania,
was during the late civil war. The
omission to do so then, seems to us
to render the undertaking now ct0tIy
hopeless Senator Simon Cameron, oi
Pennsylvania, suggested that Congress,
under the war power Of the Federal
Government, do what is now proposed.
1t might have been done as we'll as some
things which were done. But the pro-
ject met with but little or no encourage,
ment. If the question OF division OF
territory IS really serious, we see no way
OF putting the thing through, but to
petiuon our most august Legislature to
kick mp a FUSS apd then pray " U Uncle
Sam" to settle it with few rounds OF
shot and shell, as King William did.

The Syracuse Standard is indignant
because Governor DIX has pardoned
Mrs. SNYDER, an old shoplfter Of that
city. 1t says:
MANY have thought that the goods
which Mrs. Snyder took from Syracuse
merchants were all recovered. Such
seems MOTTO have been the tact The
adroir thiel had been plying her trade
here quite successiully,sand tor some
time before she wa discovered. After
her conviction she boasted 10 one OF
our officers that she had been through
Syracuse before, and that she had
stolen in one hour fifteen hundred dol
lars worth OF goods.
Mr.. SNYDER is understood to be con-
nected 10 Cleveland. Ohio, with a per.
son wbois engaged in the same neiar-
ious practice which she pursues This
person is the keeper Of what Is known
in rosues' parlance as ''ence. Ii is
a place where stolen goods are received
and sold. After the Snyders conVic.
ton here and sentence 70 ten years
imprisonment, brother-in'law came
on TO spy ont the situation. He came
here with his pockets lined with money
and approaching some OF our we'll
knowa and honest citizens offered them
large sums for their cooperation IN OBJ
tanning a pardon.
Ifmsy be interesting to our readers te
know that Mrs Snyder boasted to one
o. our officers of having been worth
$4,000 all OF which she had made by
stealing. She further affirmed tha
she owned two brown stone fronts IL
New York city. and these she had PAID
for out OF her own earnings by the sal'
Of goods which she had stolen in various
cities. When arrested here with bel
companion she was on ner regula,
