thin! You will have to load your
blunderbuss with something else than
that kind of stuff.
And Billy wants us to tell what HE
did in Congress and to vouch that he
bore there the reputation of Bishop
Simpson
Now we are merciful man. Like
Holms's funny man, who never
dared to be as funny as he could be, we
never want to strike as hard blows as
we can; and hence we have not aired
our personal grievances i'll reference to
Bill King; we have never said half the
things that sprung to our lips. But If
Billy wants war,-real war,-not gentle

William, and freeze Window young

For, William, remember this, We
never defend Rome on the soil of Italy
we always carry the war into Africa
and we will exhume more little niggers
from under woodpiles than Minnesota
ever saw in row before.
So wade in, Billy. Oh Lord! how VIZ
will puncture you! 1t would be easier
now to talk than to keep still about thu
whole dirty pack.
One word more: You say we lobbiet
in Washington after your term of office
was over, for Jay Cooke & Co
No, Billy, you are wrong
again; we went to Washington
in 1870 at the request of property hold
ers in Duluth, and citizens of St. Paul
to try and procure liberal appropria
ton for the construction of breakwa
ter at Minnesota's only lake port. W.
were paid sum just sufficient to cover
our expenses. We never lobbied fol

between them got over million dol

In conclusion, Billy, permit US to say

A DISPUTED ROYAL GRANT.

STATEN ISLAND AND ITS CLAIMANTS-THE
PATENT OF QUEEN ANNE-DIvERsE CLAIMS
WITH AND WITHOUT SURVEYS. AND PAT
ENTs.
The New York World gives the following
account CT a trial in the courts of that city
which is destined to become celebrated: The
validity of a royal patent granted by Queen
Anne to Lancaster Symmes and his heirs,
comforting on him in freehold Staten Island,
is shortly to be tried in the courts. The
claims of the descendants of Lawrence
Symmes is heard on the fact that there is
in the Office OF the secretary of state, patent
granted by Queen Anne on the Goth CT Octo-
Der, 170S, to Lancaster Symmes, then mayor
of New York, "all and every the pieces of
vacant and unappropriated land and mea-
dow on Staten Island, in the county OF Rich
mOnd." This patent gives under the usual
forms the land in full and common soccage,
the considerations to be yearly rental of
six shiIlings. 1t is claimed by those inter-
ested that Staten Island, as a whole, has
never been surveyed, view which is con-
frmed by decisions voiding tax sales on this
account. In granting patents TO applicants
for the land, the colonial authorities permit
ted them in some cases, Contrary to the usual
custom of the government, to make their
own surveys. In some cases these surveys
embraced more land that the patent Gov
the patent refused, and 1t is claimed that
the survey, ceasing to bedependent on the
patent
LOST ITS IReXiITY.
The holders of the lands on the island by
these imperfect and incomplete titles saw
their danger and resisted all efforts o
Syrnmes to survey or take possession o
the grant. He therefore petitionec the prop
err colonial authorities for a proper legal sur
yey, which was subsequently ordered to be
made after full Investigation of the facts.
The survey, however, for some reason which
does not now appear, was never made,
and the matter has remained in allegiance
until recently. An agreement was
made in 1860 by the heirs with
William w. Gilt, an attorney in
this city, making over half the claim for his
services. He has since associated with him.
self George Mackay. civil engineer. 1t is
not the intention Of Symme's heirs to con-
test the validity of titles held under a con-
veysnce made after the patent; in other
words no change will be made in "patent
surveys" But it is contended that land
held under surveys prior to patents and sur
veys abandoned during the revolution es-
cheat to the inclusive patentees.

THE CARBON BUTCHERY.
THE PARTICULARs-THF FAMILY FEUD AND
lTQ REsIrIT

From an Occasional Correspondent of the Sentinel
CARBON, IND, May 80, 1S74-Your account
of the riot at this place is somewhat inaccu-
rate. The facts are substantially as follows:
For long time feud has existed between
family Of Americans named Archer and q
party of miners, prominent among whom
are Tom Dalton, Tom Murphy, and
Jack Woolahun. On last Monday evening
Lewis Archer came TO town and the parties
met in a saloon. A QUARREL sprang up and
Archer finding the odds against him, started
home with his mother. Dalton, Murphy and
Woolahun intercepted him, and WOolahun
commenced an attack upon him. Archer re-
treated a short distance, Woolahun still pur-
suing. when he drew his knife and cut the
latter terribly across the bowels. He again
commenced to run when Murphy, Dalton
and some others caught him and shot
kicked and dubbed him in fearful manner
BILE and his posse succeeded in taking him
out of their hands. Woolahun is still living
but his case is considered hopeless. Archer's
recovery is very doubtful His friends
guarded him up TO Thursday night, when they
took him away, nobody knows where. The
majorityof the minors here, as elsewhere
are orderly and law abiding, but there are
some bad characters among them, who have
given us a great deal of trouble. Dalton and
Murphy are still at large, but steps have
been taken to bring them to justice. In
conclusion it is proper to state that whisky
was the cause of the wholde trouble. b.

The cold, cold winter! Oh. II seemed

The frosty ferns, unmelted, Cleaned
Long days upon the window-pane;
The white drifts NIL the farmhouse lane,
And all the roads were blocked with snow
And through the bare elm. on The hlh,
The north wind wbistled loud and shril.
Bot now tits pastI tits May al last
And 10! the DadOdil!
Sweet flower of promise! welcome back!
For where thy bloom see,
Hope whispers with her south winds voice
Sad heart look forward and rejoice
In brightness yet to be!
Lifes dreary winter fingers late,
but spring will come-in patience wait!

The New York Tribune, in an extended
criticism of Miss Clara Morris as Camille,
saws: She did not, In other words, make
herself-as Matilda Heron used to do, in
Camille-an actual type of the agonized out
cast. struggling in the deathless meshes and
fanas of sin. and moving te tragic and
awful doom under the steady pleasure of
memorable moral laws. She was not a
ruined woman, but a comedy girl playing at
ruin. The embodiment she presented,
though, was near enough to reality to fill
and satisfy an average ideal quite as pretty
and romatic as her own; aud therein she
had sufficient stage triumph. Few persons
in the multitude that throngs after such
PLAYS as "Camille" know what real misery
is-those who do not are easily moved by
fictitious woes-and a strangely fair
creature. such as Miss Morris, impetuous
and full of tremulous sensibility. cannot
even seem TO suffer without distilling them
almost to Jelly with the act of grief. They
appeared to enjoy their woe very much, last
night, and the watery waste of unlimited
ocket-handkerchiefs ought surely to be
noted among the incidents of the evening.
Many an Immaculate cambria was de-
spoiled; many lace was made to languish;
many a frigid linen grew limp with lamen-
tation and, therefore, though little else of
great moment was accomplished by this
Iachrymose effort, the victory over starch
may be set down as signal and complete.

may be cut off at any moment. The house
in England, also. which has been the subject
of 50 many glowing descriptions, is nothing
but neat little cottage on the elder Sartoris'
grounds. IL is by no means an elegant
building, and can only be maintained as
SartOris Sr. permits.

The New York Times has again Ibroken
loose from the bounds of the truly loyal.
This is the way it talks about Mr.. Eaton's
remarks on state rights: The regulation"
way of answering all this is to stick label
on Nh Eaton's back certifying that he is a
Bourbon and a copperhead, and to call at
tention 10 the fact that he was by no means
''sound" On national issues during the war.
But, even after all this had been done
there would still remain question in
the background which will have to be met
fairly in the fsce some day or other. The ex-
treme length to which state rights theories
were pushed inlS6O and 1861, brought about
a reaction, and that reaction has led many
people to think that state rights belong TO
the dead and gone class of questions, and
that any man who talks about state rights is
sufficiently answered when he is called q
"Bourbon." 1t is unnecessary TO say to any
intelligent reader that the view Is misera-
bly shallow one. and that in reality the right
of states to govern themselves is az dear to
the people as ever il was. And it ought to
be dear to them, for when they abandon it
they will have utterly forsaken the system
of government established under the federal
constitution.

EXPLOSION AT NEW ALBANY.

BURsTs-TT Is CARRIED LONG DISTANCE
THREE MEN INJURED.
:IBy Telegraph to the Sentinel
NEW ALBANY, June A terrific boiler
explosion occurred OF the Star Glass Works
in this city, at one o'clock this afternoon.
The boiler was an upright one, with an en-
CINE attached. 1t was thirty-two inches in
diameter, six feet long, and weighed about
twelve hundred pounds. The force of the
explosion lifted it to an altitude of fully one
hundred feet and carried it a distance
OF 1,Ol0 feet from the shed in which it was
placed. When it struck the ground, it re-
bounded 108 feet. Frank Sears, the
engineer, was badly scalded, cut and
bruised. Stephen Alexander was severely
scalded on the back, and Tom Fielding re-
ceived cut under the eye. The damage to
the works will amount to about one
thousand dollars.

After the close of this discourse, DR.
Hawley received one person into the
Church by letter from another communion,
thus evincing the sentiments taught, and
then made the following report for the
year 1879 received on probation, "a re-
ceived with full membership, 49, by let

tised, II attended 20 funerals II mar

tons.
We had the pleasure of witnessing
practical exhibition of the sentiments of
this discourse in the gathering of the seye-
raj clergymen and their wives with others,
at his residence on last Saturday evening.
1t seemed to us a very suitable foreshadow-
ing of the week Of prayer in this place,
when, as we think, the several churches
should meet and worship together. The
fact that they do not this year is not owing
to any want of catholicity between the sew
eral churches and their pastors, butte a mn
tual understanding that it may, foi the
once, be better that they meet separately.
