Important News TO Settlers ON

Cancellation Of Entries Po.tuoued.


The following, which we clip from the st
Paul Press Of the 18th ult., is from the Wash
ington correspondence Of that paper under
date of I'd ult. The correspondence will ex
plain itself:
Those persons who settled upon land
within the limits OF the Northern Pacific
Railroad grant, and were not aware that the
rights Of said road attached from the date OF
acceptance b. the Department OF the map OF
The. general route, have been very much ex-
ercised to find that the rights of the road hav-
ing b en- attached they were required to pay
- DO per acre for their land instead of ST. %,
the price at which. in many instances, they
had consummated their entries.
Gen. Averill has been here some days ure-
ing their case before the Department, and has
succeeded in having the cancellations of their
entries deferred; and haye no doubt ample
time Will be given them In which to paw the
additional ST % per acre required, as will an
pear by the following letter:

Chief Justice of the United States.

The press throughout the country does not
seem much pleased with the nomination of
Gen. George H. Williams to Eli the place of
Chief Justice Chase. Mr.. Williams has filled
the place of Attorney General Of the United
States for some time, and has given very gene
raj satisfaction, but few seem to think him a
proper person to occupy the chair of Chief
Justice, many reasons being alleged as to the
impropriety. Some think that he has not sufi-
cient ability; some that he lacks in experience
others, that representing Oregon, he should not
hold so important position, on account of the
sparcity of its population. The New York
Sun says: "a selection unfit to be made
The New York Star: president Grant has
done many strange things.-but this is the
strangest." New York World: "a piece of un-
defensible favoritism." New York Commercial
Advert;ser:; "Gen. Grant might have nomina-
ted some other man who would have given
more general satisfaction to the country" The
York Times: 'The President has risen above
mere party considerations in filling the post" )"

perience and professional training is due the
post" Philadelphia Press: "He has never

The Valuation of Dogs.

On reference to the statistics published last
week, it will be seen that there are 1874 dogs
presumably, of various breeds,) in Anderson
County, on which the owners are willing to
pay tax for the support of our benign rulers
These CANNES are valued at S8,657, or an aver
age of less than $l.a5 per capita. Now, we
have before us a list of the taxable property in
Laurens County, which shows that there are
3.ls6 dogs in that county, valued at S15, $3.50, or
an average of S. per head. What makes the
difference? Are the Laursns dogs more
valuable than ours? We are among those who
believe that everything Anderson raises and
produces is fully equal to kindred productions
from any quarter whatsoever, and we are in
clined to think that the assessment is down.
right reflection upon the many ours and yelp-
ing hounds of this region. The Board OF
Equalization should be empowered with au-

upon this valuable species of property. Will

.son for the valuation of dogs in that vi

Loss of the Steamer Vile du Havre.
Editor Deutsche Zeitung

Loss of the Steamer Vile du Havre.
The public are again shocked by another
horror in the shape of q great loss of life at
sea. Scarcely has the narrowing scenes of the
shipwreck of the Atlantic faded from our
memory, with its great loss of life, when the
picture is again vividly presented to our view,
and each time the consequence of shameful
neglect and carelessness on the part of the
officers and crew of the ships-in the first in
stance, by running against a rock very near the
shore; this time by running into another ship.
The sad catastrophe occurred near Cardiff, and
caused the loss of ninety-three lives, and so far
as known, only twenty-six were saved The
Scottish vessel, Loch Earn, was sighted some
fifteen minutes before the accident, but by
some unaccountable carelessness on the part of
the officer in charge of the Vile du Havre,
there was d collision, the PROV of the Loch
Earn running into the centre Of the former,
and sinking her in short time. Arc these
rnen not guilty of homicide, ind would not
their punishment accordingly correct these
dreadful calamities?

having as its President Col. II. P. Hammett, q

experience in the manufacturing line, and
who, We hsve no dorbt, will make the Peid-

The Conviction of Tweed.

The recent conviction of VIM. M. Tweed,
indicted for fraud and corruption in Office, is
an event of no ordinary significance He is
now undergoing the just Imprisonment imposed
for his willfnl disregard of the duties belonging
to a trusted official, and an embezzlement OF
the public monies on gigantic scale. Only a
few years ago this man was the controlling
political magnate in the great metropolis OF
this nation, and for time there seemed no
probability of his grasp upon the public purse
being loosened. But justice, though delayed
and thwarted, overlook him at last, and there
were bold and fearless men, irrespective of
political ties, who pursued him with vigilance
and untiring assiduity, until finally the curtain
falls upon convicted criminal, entering the
walls of prison to expiate the awful crimes
and misdeeds against society. The circum-
stances around him make this notable event,
since he is yet millionaire, and can count
his gold by thousands. But these are of no
avail, when the righteous indignation Of the
people is aroused. The warning in Tweeds
case should be needed by corrupt politicians
and unscrupulous ofice-holders all over the
country. Time brings many changes, and the
man who is basking in power and patronage
to-day may be overthrown tomorrow. 1t was
Tweed's own party, in great measure, that
secured his conviction. Others might profit
by this lesson, for the honest element of the
country may yet assert their rights, and brush
aside every unfaithful steward of the people.
Even in the South, where men think there is
to be no end of their unbridled corruption, the
fate of Tweed may have an early imitation, in
many instances. We give full account in
this issue of the exploits and history Of the
great criminal, to which we direct attention.

A Boys idea ofHeads.

Heads are OF different shapes aud
sizes. They are full OF notions. Large
heads Go not always hold the most.
Some persons can tell just what man
is by the shape OF his head. High heads
are the best kind. Very knowing peo-
pie are called long-headed. A fellow
that won't stop for anything or anybody
is called hot-headed. If he is not quite
so bright he is called soft-headed. II
he won't be coa1ed nor turned they call
him pig-headed. Animals have very
small beads. The heads OF fools slant
back. When your head is cut off you
are beheaded. Our heads are covered
with hair, except bald heads. There
are barrel-heads, heads Of sermons
and some ministers used to have fifteen
heads to one sermon = pin heads,
heads of cattle, as the farmer calls his
cows and oxen, head winds, drum heads,
cabbage heads, loggerheads, come to a
head, heads Of chapters, head him of,
head Of the family, and go ahead-but
first be sure you are right but the
worst of all heads are deadheads, who
hang around an editor for free tickets
to shows.

WomanIy MOdesfy.

Man loves the mysterious. q cloud
less sky, the full-blown rose, leaves him
unmoved; but the violet which hides
its blushing beauties behind the bush
and the moon, when she emerges from
behind cloud, are to him sources Of
inspiration and pleasure. Modesty is
to merit, what shade is to figure in
painting it gives its holiness and
prominence. Nothing adds more to
female beauty than modesty; it sheds
around the countenance halo Of light
which is borrowed from virtue Botanists
have given the rosy hue which tinges
the cup of the rose the name of maiden
blush" This pure and delicate hue is
the only paint that Christian virtue
should use it is the richest ornament.
Awcman without modesty is like faded
flower, which diffuses an unwholesome
odor, and which the prudent gardener
will throw away from him. Her De stiny
is melancholy, for it ends in shame and
repentance. Beauty passes like the
flower OF the aloe, which blooms and
dies in few hours, but modesty gives
the female character charms which sup
plies the place of the transitory fresh
nese Of youth.
