ruined by their adhesion to the Cincinnati
movement, Alexander 81. Stephens of Geor-
gia, Vice President of the late Confederacy
has the honor of being tie only man whose
political success has been destroyed by not
yielding a hearty support to that abortive
scheme. 1t is said that if Mr.. Stephens had
given his support to the Cincinnati ticket, he
would have had a seat in the United States

THE MODESTY OF GREATNESS,

Those who believe that the greatest men
are the most sensible of their own defects
will be glad to think that Mr.. Chase's modes
ty was one OF the signs of his greatness.
There was no subject about which he talked
less than himself; he rarely or ever referred
to himself or his history in any way. There
have been few men, with so much,to remem-
ber, so little given to "reminiscences. Not on
ly would he seldom volunteer recollections,
but it required the greatest skill to even draw
them from him. His modesty as to the accu-
racy of his judgment led him always to speak
carefully, and with provisos, where men Of
tenth part of his intellectual weight were dog
matte. 1t showed itself as much in his
frankness in confessiug lack of knowledge of
various subjects as in anything. He had none
of that pretentiousness which claims all
knowledge as its own. Even when Ques-
toned on subjects with which he might be
expected to be familiar, his plain answer was,
again and again, Il don't know."-C Atlantic
Monthly for November.

A BIG LAND STEAL IN COLORADO.

From the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, Dec 9.-Maj Lander
of Denver, has come on to Washington
to ask Congress to investigate an al
legged land steal in Bent county, Colo
rado, in which it is claimed Jerome B.
Chaffee, the Territorial Delegate, is In
terested. Maj. Lander brings with
him a quantity of documentary evidence
IN the shape of affidavits and records.
The stolen land consists Of over four
thousand acres, is part of what is
known as the Los Animas grant, has
been under cultivation by actual set
tiers for number Of years, and is con-
sequently very valuable. The town Of
Los Animas, the western terminus of
the Kansas Pacific Railroad, is built
on land included in the alleged
theft. 1t is claimed that, aided
by the officials Of thePueblo land office,
patents to the above, land were, in
September last, granted to Caleb VIII
son, Chas I. Walling, 0rtOn Spencer,
Samuel A. Leng, Slicer 3. Evans,
Amos K. Howe and Phil. L. Rillian,
fraudulently represented as actual set
tiers, but who are unknown to the resi-
dents of Bent county; that soon after
coming into possession of the patents
the above named persons transferred
their interest to David H. Moffit, Jr.,
Cashier of the First National Bank of
Denver, of which institution Delegate
Chaffee is President, and Of course he
comes in for his share of the 'swag"
1t is understood that Mr.. Chaffce does
not deny that he stands in for share
of the profits of the transaction, which
is well known to be in the interest Of
the Kansas Pacific Railroad. A full
history Of the matter viii at an early
day be laid before Congress and an in
vestigation demanded.

minority of the committee rather than that
of the majority.
Mr.. Grassland argued against the repeal
against that law, but he had taken the back
pay under it. He could not return that
back if he would, and he would not if he
could. Laughter He satirized Mr.. Cox
under his new appellation OF
tt Dew Drop,
and ridiculed L.v ence for having his pic
ture stamped on sUlne public documents.
Mr.. Lawrence said there could not be
found half a dozen such works. They
were originally bound up not for public
use but for another purpose. The engrav-
ing cost the Government nothing. 1t was
not done at the public expense. Whatever
might be said he believed that no honest
man would question his integrity, and his
constituents would never ask to put in any
book the portrait of anyone who had been
unfaithful to the Government during the
rebellion. 1.-THE latter remark was aimed
at his7colleague, Lamison.]
The discussion was now pretty well ex-
hausted, and it being past the usual hour
Of adjournment, Mr.. Hale, of Maine,
moved
The Previous Question
ON third reading. The friends of the
minority bill and all who were in favor of
a more sweeping measure than th;. pro-
posed by the majority bill, in conjunction
with those who desired to offer ;;sld-
ments in regard to the restoration OF the
franking privilege, etc., rallied to vote down
the previous question. The vote was
taken by tellers and resulted, ayes, 100;
noes, 145. So the House refused to second
the previous question.
Mr.. KasSon who had reported the mi
nority bill obtained control of the subject.
He yielded to Mr.. Orth, who moved to re-
commit the bill to a select committee,
with instructions to report bill repeating
the whole salary act of the last Congress so
far as the same could be done under the
constitution, and to ascertain the average
amount Of salary, mileage and all other
allowances, exclusive of any estimate for
the franking privilege, that was paid to
Senators, Representatives and Delegates in
the Forty-first Congress, and to report bill
tomorrow fixing compensation at the
amount thus ascertained, as nearly as prac-
ticable, with necessary travelling expenses,
and restoring all other salaries as they were
before the passage Of the act.
The Speaker, in answer to number OF
inquiries all over the House, explained the
parliamentary status of the bill, and with
out coming to vote on the proposition the
House adjourned.

SHEPHERD.
Sbe Boss Tweed of WashingtOn-EN-
citement About His Confirmation.

u
citeIneni About His Confirmation.
From the New York Tribune, Dec 0.
Mr. Alexander r. Shepherd was yes
terday confirmed as Governor of the
District of Columbia by unanimous
vote of the Senate. His nomination
was the most scandalous one yet made
by the President. and it was confident
ly predicted that it would be postponed
until after the holidays, and then posi-
bly, withdrawn. But he knew his Sen
ate. He was,so certain Of his hold
upon them that he invited a large num-
Der Of members Of both Houses to dine
with him yesterday to celebrate his sue
cess. The vote WAS taken in
a thin Senate, and not
voice was raised against him. Every
body In Washington knows what
he is His friends, when they praise
him, limit their panegyrics to an ex-
preston Of confidence IN his smart
ness" You will never catch him, 3"
they say. The alarming state Of the
finances Of the district, due entirely to
the operations Of this man, is well
known to the Senate. But those who
believe him to be a knavC were out of
the way when their names were called,
and the faithful! friends of the White
House were all on hand to do as they
were bid. How can body so servile
be expected to deal with any public
questions which require nerve and con-
science? No wonder they drag Sumner
from his committee, and choose Car
pentcr to preside over their delibera-
tions.
From the Cincinnati Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Dee 9.--The Senat
tors ascertained to-day tLat very few
members Of that bydy were aware,
during the executive session yesterday,
that any action hard been taken in the
case Of Shepherd, of this District. l.
further appeared that the nomination
was not regularly reported from the
committee, but the matter, in the form
of an agreement Of some Of the men,
bers to report Shepherd favorably, was
taken on the floor OF the Senate by pri-
vatc appeal to individual members, and
that some of the members Of the COM
mittee were not consulted at all. The
matter has assumed the shape Of mere
trick and imposition upon the Senate,
and some members who have promised
that investigation should precede ac-
ton in the case. will feel bound to
move reconsideration.
From the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-SenatOr
Conkling pledged himself some time
since to oppose a confirmation without
investigation, and he is one of those
who did not know what was transplr-
inc when the confirmation was made.
He feels bound to have the matter re-
considered. There is quite feeling Of
Indignation in the Senate at the man.

THE RECENT DEATH FROM CHIC
ROFORM IN BOSTON.

This case has attracted much attention,
not only from the attempt made Just after
the accident to pass the death off as one
from ether. but also, when it became eyi-
dent that it was due to chloroform, from
anNiety to see what would be the conclu-
sion of a Boston jury. The verdict is all
that could be desired, rs il expressed en-
pbaticallv the feeling Of the profession, and
we do not find fault that DR.. Eastman was
shared the well-deSeved cenSure which he
must have expected. The misfortunes OF
fine past should be remembered only as
warnings for the future. The use OF chic
rofoy7n is least iustifiable where ether IS
best known: there is less excuse for its use
i'm America than in Europe, and least OF all
i'm tbis city. After this verdict, nothing but
vsry exceptional circumstances Will warrant
lis administration. Ii appears i'll the eyl-
donce that several dentists are III the habit
of Giving whichever anosthetic they see INT,
REGARDLESS of the request of the patient. We
hone that this custom is not general, and
w6uld advise any who may persist in 1t not
to he too sure that after another patient
who shall have asked for ether has been
killed by chloroform, the verdict may not
contain besides other disagreaable words,

Testimony Before The COrOncr's Jury.
ST. LOUIS, Dec 1l.-At the inquest to-
day on the body Of Richard Batticher, muir
dered Wednesday by B. f. CrOnenbold, ev-
idence was elected which thoroughly
explodes the statement that Batticher had
seduced Miss Cronenbold. He was man
of education, had been merchant in Ger
MANY. and his father large clothing man
ufacturer and ship owner He evidently
accepted the position of coachman in Mrs.
Cronenbold's family under stress Of averse
circumstance, and remained i'll the place
only until he could procure other employ
ment. Both Mrs. Cronenbold and daughter
testified that his department had been that
of a gentleman; that no semblance of dis
honor had marked his conduct. The re-
port of the seduction seems to have been a
most cruel story, originated by parties who
were interested in preventing the marriage,
and who urged young Cronenbold to the
the act TO advance their own interests. 1t
was also in evidence that young Cronen-
bold had been under medical treatment
since his return from Europe in September,
for partial mental arrangement.

A BOTTOMLESS PIT.
underground Fire i'm Washington
County, Kansas.

The JVdtercuIe Telegraph has an ac-
count of fire which has broken out in
gully about four miles northeast OF Had
oath, Washington county, and has contin-
ed to burn, apparently in the same spot,
for three weeks. A destructive prairie fire
swept over that locality some time ago, and
after DAYS had passed, and the occurrence
was nearly forgotten, smoke was observed
emerging from that gully. This excited
the curiosity of the scientific ones, and an
investigation was made, when it was dis
covered that the smoke issued from crew
ice in a large stone imbedded in the side OF
the gully. Some of the wise ones declared
it a vein of coal on fire, as there are indica-
tions of coal in that vicinity. But the
smoke does not smell like that of coal. 1t
is a clear smoke, and ascends in large and
steady volumes and floats off the surround
ing country. There are indications OF an
immense fire beneath the surface OF the
earth. and much alarm is felt. At night
the fire and smoke stream upward toward
the dark empyrean, and the darkness is
dispelled for a long distance fromthe place.
