An interesting ejectment case
has been brought mp in the United
States District Court in Pittsburg,
involving some ninety acres of land
near the center of the city, valued
at several million Of dollars and
known as the Mowry estate. Suit
is brought by Bernard NJ. Webster,
Of Bay City Michigan, against f.
s. Bissell, Andrew Carnajie, the
keystone Bridge Company and
other who now hold the property.
Webster claims to have purchased
from an Indian woman, Mary
Cuba, who quit her right to an
interest in the Mowry estate. She
is the alleged daughter of VIM.
Mowry by an Indian wife. On the
legality of this marriage the suit
seems to depend. Some of the
best legal talent of Pittsburg and
of Bay City. are engaged on the
case.

A SHORT POsTPoNEMENT OF THE
FIFTH GIFT CONCERT.

AS manager OF the gift concerts given
in aid Of the Public Library OF Ken
lucky, my position creates an impOr-
TUT trust In behalf Of the Public Ii
brary and the ticket-holders Of the fifth
gift concert. The Public Library of
Kentucky and the tickct-holders are
jointly interested in the amount of the
drawing. The larger the fund TO be dis
tributed in gifts, the greater will be the
gift awarded to each lucky ticket-holder
and the more the amount realized by the
Library. To have full drawing is so
manfestly to the interest of those inter
estcd, that rather than have fractional
drawing on the Both inst, deem it due
TO the trust conflded TO me by the ticket
holders and the Public Library OF Ken
lucky, that short postponcment be
made TO enable me TO dispose of the I'M
sold tickets and have a full drawing
Though the very large amount now in
bank would enable us to distribute
handsome gifts, vet we should feel dis
appointed in this our last concert
should we be compelled to make 4 frac
tioual drawing however large.
We have received so very large mum
Der o. letters from all parts of the coun
try from those most largely interested
urging postponement If the tickets arr
not all sold by the GOTH, that we fee
strengthened in our sense of duty to tn
ticket-holders and the Public Library
to make the postponement. Under TIL
circumstances we have determined II
the interest of all parties, TO postpon
the concert and drawing to Saturday
FEBRUARY the %, 1875, az which time tn
drawing will positively take place; ant
as guarantee OF good faith towar
ticket holders, we pledge ourselves L
refund TO any ticket holder his none,
upon presentation Of his ticket, shout
the drawing fail to com, off at the da
now fixed. The past, we feel assure
will be sufficient guarantee 10 all intel
ested that they will be fairly and homes
| ly dealt with. The money paid for ticl
cts is sacredly preserved agai ist all col
| tlngenci,s until after the payment or II
gins, after which the expenses are to
reimbursed and the Public Library Is
be paid its profits.

Judging from the number Of
rooms which the ambitious aspirant
for a fourth Senatorial term has
secured at Lansing, he is prepar-
ing to enter the field with quite an
army of lobbyists as soon as the
Legislature comes on the ground.
Who the mystic twelve are, who
will occupy the dozen apartments
set apart for the Senatorial suite,
does not yet appear; but the Sem
ator's chief henchmen have secured
rooms for themselves it is altogeth-
er probable that the others will be
mere mercenary manipulators who
work for filthy lucre. 1t will be a
cheerful sight to see their organic
ed attack on the peoples represen-
tativcs.

Three bills have been already
offered in Congress to reduce
the Presidents salary to $4,000
This reduction could not effect
Gen. Grant, as the constitution
provides that the Presidents salary
shall be neither increased or de-
minished during his term of Office.
1t is said that Grant will neither
sign nor veto the bill, but allow it
to become a law without his sig
nature. He will thus be placed in
the position of signing a bill to
increase his own salary and then
permitting one to become a law to
reduce the salary of his successor.

Worst Outrage of All.

There have been outrages of all
sorts, shapes and sizes at the South,
outrages real and outrages imagin-
airy; but the worst outrage of all
is that which the colored men of
Tennessee have just committed on
the Republican party. Regardless
of the solemn professions that party
have always made Of ELECTION for
the colored man as q voter, regard
less of the sacrifices that party has
made in his behalf, regardless even
of the solemn asseveration of the
President in his message that it is
the Republican Goblin who is the
friend, and not the Democrat Short,
tie colored man Of Tennessee has
deliberately repudiated the admin
istration and declared his political
independence. And what makes
the declaration more significant
still is the fact that it comes from
a State where the Democratic party
is in majority and where the col.
ored man stands, therefore, accord.
ing to the Republican theory
peculiarly in need of Republican
protection. Ii is State, too
where the colored man is in a bt p
less minority, being outnumbere'

The reading of the Presidents
message was received without q
word of applause in either house.
No sound of approval greeted it as
Of old. One member, after the
house adjourned, said it sounded
like q funeral sermon, without
much compliment being paid to the
corpse. When that portion was
read wherein he appealed for adj
ditional legislation to sustain the
civil-service reform policy, syni-
cal smile was visible all over the
Republican side. The specie re-
sumption feature of the document
is very generally commended by
the best men of both parties but
it is admitted that its recommends
lions will not be needed at this SEES
sion.
Outside Of the financial and .
,iyil-service questions, there is not .
much to attract unusual notice, it

If the reports from New Orleans

If the reports from New Orleans
are correct the Kelloggites in Lou
isiana are fixing up a nice little
pot by which to deprive the Con-
servatives of their just perponder-
Aanee in the Legislature. The kind
" assistance of Grant and Fe leral
troops will be necessary to the sue
eessful working of the plot. Grant
may not feel just like affording it
though. He has received some
salutary lessons recently.

The Coiorcd People, South.

In the south the colored people,
who have in the past been used as
the political machinery by aspir-
ing politicians, are and have been
for some time discontinued with
the manner in which they have
been made the dupes Of office seek
ers and others, and last week they
organized an Association at Mem
phis, Tenn. From their preamble
and resolutions we take the follow
ing, which spealkes for itself:
1--WE are fully aroused to the
consciousness that we have for
years been the dupes Of crafty
designing, unprincipled men,
whose object was their own person
al ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, irrespective of
the means or results to our injury
they have shorn us Of our pecuni-
airy accumulation, the result Of
many years OF toll, even to the
pennies accumulated by our youth
and little hedgings. All this we
could bear, but they have left us
despised by our only true friends
through their knavish representa-
tons and unmitigated falsehoods.
Our experience in this direction,
for which we have amply paid, in
vites change on our part. There
fore invoking the sheltering agis
of Almighty God, in whose good
ness, mercy and wisdom we trust
for our future guidance, and we
have resolved that embracing the
honest, truthful advice of our late
friend, Thos. Swan, we now and
forever shake off those unwarrant- ,
ell fears that have been created /,
and proved as bugaboo upon the !
minds of our simple people, we L
are at last convinced that they {
we're the fiction of political incen- :
diaries, who have sacrificed us and !
ed us into our present trouble, and '
re now pledge ourselves as repre- +
atives Of our societies, henceforth &C
o sever all affinity and past rela- pi
ions with all men whose only val or
e resulted in plumber and strife. vi
Re regret the blindness of the ed d
asst that has elienated the kind a
ceilings of our true friends, and in p.
n effort to improve the future we p rg
ledge our faith mutually to each 81 s.,
her and to whom it may concern, I'd
lat hereafter we will sustain no tho

We are more than gratified in
reading over our State exchanges,
and especially from the Republican
side of the question, to find so
many Of them acting independent
ly on the question of United States
Senator, and throwing aside the ri
diculous idea of any other name
being used but that of Zachariah
Chandler. If, we are to judge from
the general tone of the Republican
press of the State, no less than four
facts seem to be decided by the re-
cent election
/. That the people OF the State
will no longer tolerate the lash, whip
and spur, Of party leaders, whether
Federal or State officers.
2. That Cameron and Carpenter
formed the copartnership of Chand-
Ter & Co., and that it should be dis
solved on and after the 4th Of
March next.
3. That as the third term of
Grantism has been repudiated at
the November polls, so should the
fourth term of Chamberlain.
a. That from the Sd of Novem-
Der until the 4th Of March, 1877,
the masquerading of the Federal
officers of Grant is effectually play
ing out in Michigan.

The report of the Secretary Of
the Treasury shows that the or3in-
airy receipts of the government for
the last fiscal year were less than
the ordinary expenditures. A
sight balance in the governments
favor was brought about by the
premium on the sales of coin.
This was partly Offset by the pre-
MUM on bonds purchased. The
amount derived from premiums on
sales of coin was s5,037 ,665 %. and
the premium paid on bonds pur-
chased was 81, 395,O73 SIS, so that by
these operations the government
netted s3,542,59l 67. Without the
sales of coin and purchases of bond,
the receipts during the fiscal yea,
were s2s4,441,O 95 ~, and the ex.
penditurcs s2s5,73s,sOo 81. show.

Congress has certainly wasted no
time in returning to the bone Of
contention in struggling over which
during the last session so much pre-
cious time was wasted. 1t is hard
ly necessary to say that no progress
has been made; but sufficient has
been done to indicate that the con-
flict of opinion is as irreconcilable
as ever and to excite the suspicion
that nothing will be done beyond
keeping the business of the country
unsettled by continued assump-
tion Of the power to overrule the
laws of trade by statute. The only
hope for relief lies in the possibili-
ty that the Forty-third Congress
may resolve in despair to have
nothing more to do with the curren-
cy question and adhere to its re-
solution.

y The withdrawal Of the Japanese
troops from Formosa will probably
put an end, for the present at least,
to the difficulty between China and
Japan. 1t was the occupation of
Formosa by an armed force from
Japan, which gave rise to the diff
ficulty, and the renewal Of friendly
relations between the two Eastern
nations will probably follow the
removal of the causes of difficulty.
