JOHN NITCHEL.S RETURN TO IRE
LAND

After twenty years, John Mitchell
has returned to Ireland. He was
born Nov. 3, 1915, in the town of
Dungiven, County Of Derry, gradu-
ated at Trinity College and practic-
ed law in NeWry and Branbidge.
He became one of the editors of the
Nation, at Dublin, in 1915; leaving
tha Journal, he founded, in 1919,
= The United LishDlan." The pa
per survived only three months.
Mitchell was arrested for treason,
tried, convicted aud sentenced to II
years transportation. THIS was in
May prior to the arrest Of Smith
O'Brien, Meagher and Others in the
following August.
Mitchell was taken in irons from
Dublin to the convict depot Of Spike
island Cork harbor). IN a day or
two, he was transported on the
Scourge sloop Of war 10 the island
of Bermuda; he was taken thence,
after ten months, to Australia where
he met O'Brien, Meagher, Morton
and other political associates whom
he had left behind in Ireland. On
the 18th of July, 1851, he resigned
his parole and escaped, landing i'll
New York on November %. In
New York, he published a weekly
newspaper called the CHizea,' thence
he removed to Tennessee and start
ed the S0utherps Citizen which was
afterwards removed to " ashlngton.
He was in the South during the war
aud was intensely southern III his
feelings. After the war, he went tc
France; remaining sometime there
he returned to the United States
aud now, after twenty years of wall
dering, has gone back to his old
home in the green Isle.
His name has already been men
toned in connection with a seat IN
Parliament, and there is little doubt
but he will be returned, provided
the British government does not III
tertere. John Mitchell is a vigorous
writer, a nervous, fiery speaker, OF
great experience and ability. When
he was first cast into the convict
depot Of Cork Harbor, the govern
ment orders directed that he should
be treated Gas a person of education
and a gentleman. lie i both Age
has cooled now the fiery impulses OF
youth, and John Mitchell may yet
live to be a blessing to the land OF
his nativity, 50 long crushed by op-
preston.

ENTHUSIAST on HIS BL4CK
HILLS DISCO VERIES.


Dispatches TO the 3rd have been
received at military headquarters in
St. Paul from General Clusters ex-
petition. The dispatches are dated
from the south fork Of the Cheyenne
river, some fifty miles southeast of
Harney's peak, and are very volu-
minous, covering the operations Of
the expedition from July I5th-the
date of the two last dispatches, on
the banks of the Belle Fonchc river.
A large portion Of ;he narrative is
taken up with a description Of the
country through which the expedi-
ton passed. This description puts
to flight all the preconceived ideas
in regard to this hitherto unknown
region, supposed to consist of al
most inaccessible hills, impossible
ravincS, and dark and gloomy cav
erns. The General paints it as a
very Eden, abounding in lovely val
leys, delightful natural parks, with
clear. limpid streams, rich in It's flo
raj decorations and vegetable pro
ductions, and unlimited supplies Of
timber. To use the Generals own
language: "The main portion Of the
country passed over since entering
the Black Hills consists of beautiful
parks and valleys, through which
flows a beautiful stream of clear,
cold water, perfectly free from aka
Ii; while bounding these parks or
valleys is invariably found unlimited
supplies Of timber, much of it capa-
be OF being made into good lumber.

where nature has done so much to
prepare homes for husbandmen, and
left 50 little for the latter to do, as
here. Everything indicates an
abundance of moisture within the
space enclosed by the Black Hills.
The soil is that of rich garden,
composed OF n dark mold Of exceed
/ ING fine grain"
Much more of the same extrava-
CANT description is indulged in. The
General explodes all the reports of
the expedition having met with hos
tile Indians. But one camp Of In
dlanS, numbering twenty-seven, was
seen. These the cavalry surround
ed, and talk was had with them.

mineral resources Of the country
bur, from the tenor Of the Generals
language, however, it is inferred
that the reports of its being an L
Dorado, abounding in precious met
ais, are without foundation.
The dispatch concludes with the
statement that the expedition would
commence its homeward march on
the 6th, and would arrive at Fort
Abraham Lincoln on the 3Ist.

Mr.. Williams opinion may, or
may not, be good law, but it would
be manifest injustice to the settlers
along the line of that road, who
have been waiting many years for
the fulfillment of their hopes, for the
Government now to step IN, and, by
declaring the grant forfeited and
reverted to the United States, to de-
stroy the only hope they have ever
had or will have Of opening up their
section to railway transportation.

take this small and mean advantage

upon the market, either for the pur-
pose of buying them up or preyen-
ting the building of the roads in
ald OF which. they were originally
granted If this were not SO the
renewal of the grant would not
have been so persistently fought
whenever it has been proposed in
Congress, and there would have
been no decision in the case of the
Attorney General.
We repeat what we have often
sad IN connection with the proposed
renewal OF this grant, and that is
that simple justice requires such re-
newai; and as the bill renewing the
grant passed one house at the last
session Of Congress, and came near
passing the other This looks very
muchlIke endeayoring to forestall the
action of Congress. La view of the
judicial decision above-mentioned
and the action OF Congress, it
would have looked better if the
Attorney General had excused him
self from rendering a decision OH
the matter.

this opinion at this time. There is
certainly no ADEQUATE reason for if
The u. 5. District Court has ALREADY =
decided just the reverse of what the
Atty General holds, and the case
is now pending, and will soon be
reached III the United States Su-

on It's final passage IN the other
house, renewing the grant to the

OF TINS state has conferred the
grant upon the North Wis. Hallway
Company, AMI that company is now
at work rapidly constructing the

grant was originally made.
1t is difficult to see how under
these circumstances the Atty Gen

From the Jefferson County Union
We doubt ifthere are many Of the
readers Of the Union who know how
Wisconsin came to be called the
Badger State The name was first
proposed by Philo White Of Mil
waukee, in convention held in that
city (then a smalI village) in June
1886. The convention was called
for the purpose of giving the state
a distinctive name after the same
fashion as Michigan is called the
Wolverine, and Ohio the Buckeye
State. We gather the above fact
from Isaac Atwood, Of Mills, who
was a member of the convention.
