TOWNSHIP NO. 8.

EXPLANATORY.-.,om time ago the pa
pers had general dispatch stating that
ar. 0 Dewitt" army surgeon, was on his
way to headquarters to prefer charges Of
iuccmpetfncy aud mismanagenent of the
Mndoc war against General Gillem 1t
was afterwards announced that Dewitt
would make no charges against Gillem. -
We wrote squib asking why he weakened
aud abandoned what the dispatch said he
originally intended to do asked il he
had been seen-suhsidized We got our
information of aud the nan of II. o De
Witt from the dispatch aforesaid, and the
question was our own, and was asked for
the very simple reason that we wanted it
answered by somebody. Both the Yreka
papers seem to think we originated the
lt.m az fling against II. U. Dewitt. of
Yreka. We did not, or we should have
said K. 0. Dewitt, OF Yreka, which we
did not. The inference of our brothers
Of the quill, that We had as'aulttd their
townsman, simply aud naturally grew out of
the circumstance th.t there are two men
known as II. 0. Dewitt. To r O. of
Yreks. We will say that we had no thought
of injnring him by associatirg his name
with the great swindle known as the Modoc
war-a war principly put up by thieves.

larger proportion of Democrats than Re-

And there Is another little fact tn which

slams had entirely forgotten how to talk
Rnssian. They only rmembered their
prayers, aad they said them much better
ttan we could. The laws are very strict
in Khiva And every day somebody is
hanged OF has bis head cut oil. IL one
man complains against his debtor, and
the debt Is proved, the man is hanged IT
he denies il, but if it is not proved, and
the man does not confess when tortured,
then the creditor is hanged. When a
man is found with woman both are ex-
ecuted.
We always were in hePes Of being re-
eased, and when we heard of the advance
: Of the Russians, we thosgbt that now
our time was come. When the Khsr
knew that the Russians were sending an
army against him he wanted to give in
at once, but the Divan Begees would
not let him. They first sent one embassy
10 Constantinople, aud then one to India.
Really it is to the English that we owe
our release, and we are very grateful TO
them. The Queen of England said TO
the Khivau ambassador, "Tell your khan
that he himself is to blame, and that !
cannot help him. First let him release
the Russian prisoners aud then the 30
600 Persian slaves he has, aud then per-
haps can do something. But he must
do this first" q have reason 10 consider
this pait of Burnashef's story apocry-
phal.) The embassy came back, and with
in. five days we were all released. The
Khan. sent to every man new khalat,
but we would not believe our good luck
till we had reached here. We always
thought there was trick in il. We
came up the east side of the Aral Sea,
olose to the sea, and SO did not meet the
expedition. We were treated well
enough, but for ten days we had no wa.
ter but melted snow. We were thir; )
days on the road.
Khiva is very poor country, and fruit
ana even grain is brought from Bokhara
Twice, when the harvests were bad, the
prices were very high, aud many ptopl,
died. The city is very dirty and uapl leas
ant. All the houses were small and ot
mud, and the streets are very narrow
The Russian army will take the city al
once. The walls are only of mud and
with your hand. There are few ole
cannon, bat very bad, and the Khivan,
do. not know how 10 use them. No
long ago they filed one full of powder
and it burst and killed twenty-five men
They are not on the walls, but in iron
of the Khan's palace. There is no regu
bar army, but people are hired by The
month at ten tilahs apiece. Some have
swords, some axes OF spears, and some
matchlocks. They will run away a

LAST OF THE ALABAMA DIFFIcULTY.-The
end of the Alabama problem has at last come
arrangements having been made iOr the pay
meut of the indemnity. The London Economist
of July ~, explains that the matter has been
managed with unexpected facility, and that,
though the whole amount has not yet been
transferred to American keeping, the greater
part of the award has been paid in our own
acceptances-thati is 10 say, in due twenty-five
bonds. Nothing" says the Economist, "can
be better than paying the American Govern
mcnt in its own due accepiances, and nothing
more certain than that it will pty them at mi
turity-' Perhaps The United States ought to feel
Obliged tn the Economist for the compliment
conveyed in the last clause OF the sentence
quoted. Al any rass, both nations would ac-
ccpt with satisfaction the completion of this
bong litigation, which has cost in diplomacy a
word for every dollar that will he paid. The
actual settlement of the bill sets at rest the
last lingering doubt and rclegates the disa
agreeable subject to the waste box of worn -oul

leading member OF the Ohio Cons,itu-
ii0nai Convention lately said that while he re-
garded the principle OF an elective judiciary as
fatally false, he did not dare, i'm the Convention
to propose to abandon it, "Our judges have not
yet been demorulized," he said, "and every
demagogue in the State would be bowling at
me as an aristOcrat who wanted to take away
power from the people" Ohio papers, are be-
ginning to force the question upon the Con-
venlion. The Cincinnati Gazette sums up lis
hIpctions, to the elective sys tenn thus:
1T has not kept mp tho character of the
Ohio Judiciary The good judges cannot re-.
deem the sysltm from the poor. 1t has done
its worst with us, but is continually growing
