it was not intended to dispossess the

In view of the small area of agricultural
land in Lincoln county. Congress is
asked by this joint resolution not to con-
firm the order making this fertile region
an Indian Reservation, but to keep 1t

purposes-letting the Indians remain.
There is no trouble between the white
settlers and Indians now residing on

b-zzlelaent while Paymastsc's Clerk in

ing the explanation due 10 the newspaper
public of this State, and are free TO
admit tina: he seems TO male { fair and
favorable showing in his ow- behalf.
The fact is, however, that h. he not
been SO ready to breathe the b-cajh Of
detraction upon everybody whom he has
felt himself called upon to oppose, either
in politics or journalism, there would
have been no need of these explanations.
He has, whiie enjoying the conspicuous
notorie;y Of living in glass house,
taken rather scstatic delight in pelting
with such missiles as have lain within
his reach, ali against whom his capri
cious and rather boyish fancy has led
him to take dislike. This boyishness
Is none-the-less manifest in the outcries
which he emits when his victims fight
back and crack the panes of his vulner-
able entertainment. Let Mr. Bocart OBJ
serve strict and undertaking line of
professional propriety and nobody will
feel disposed to twit him with his mis-
fortunes.

been made to indict Krum, Collector
Casey ofNew Orleans, Orville Grant, or

thus far developed connecting the two

it's former members the following have

including Joyce and Outner, who were
recently convicted. Among the indicted
men Mckee, ST., proprietor of the Globe
Democrat, and Constantine Mcguire, Ex-
United States Collector, are the most
prominent, though both OF them are cOI-
tident of an acQuittal.
Those who have pleaded guilty, and
thrown themselves on the mercy of the
Court, expect some compromise from
the Government. But thus far there have
been no indications Of any let-up in the
prosecution. Rumors are afioat that
