a PAMPHLET has been lately published
by Mr.. Alexander e. Murray, of Geor-
gia, advocating the removal of the whole

THAT peculiar letter has called forth .
As much comment as Sherman
Memoirs" and, strange to say, from the
same sources. Publications have sp-
pcared asserting that in lsG7-6S, His Ex-
,ellenCy had almost daily communIca- .
ton with Hon. Montgomery Blair look
ha -,
These His Excellency denies. Mr. Blair
.av> that this letter has not changed the .
situation one iota; that, of course Grant .
Toes not want the nomination if he can't /
-c, il. but if he can, he viii clutch at it. !
He thinks John w. Garrett is the man

Mr.. CmAs. LELAND, of Philadelphia
has Just published y book in which he
produces massive argument to prove .
that Christopher Columbus did not first .
discover America, nor did any Of the nd .
ventures to whom the school books as
cFl"e the feat. He declares emphatically /
That a Chinese Buddhist priest, named ,
noei-Shln, in the year 499. returned to
! una from voyage, and stated to the
wondering IelestialS that he had discov-
'F'H great country across the sea,
which ne had named Tusang. He de-
>crIbed the natives in such a wsv as to
identity them with the American Ipdi-
ans. Peruvians and other races. If Mr.
Leland can maintain his theory. as he
appears TO be able 10 do. our school reor.
raphieS will have to change the answer
to the question, "Who discovered Amer
lea" from Columbus. to "Hoei-Shin." ="
