The Secretary of the Interior has
rejected the claim of 10000 dollars,
of Van and Adair, on account of SER
vices as attorneys for the Usage Indi-

already received full compensation
and that the practice of attempting to
protect Indians through attorneys, at
the expense of the Indians, is vicious
one.

Columbus, Ohio, Dec, S.-The State
convention was held here to-day to
consider the question of tramps that
fill the country. Various resolutions
were adopted looking to plans that
will remedy this growing evil. 1t was
recommended that work houses be es-
tablished in cities and town fol the re-
ception of this class and thus make
them a source of revenue. Passage
of laws were recommended by which
magistrates will DC empowered to
arrest all such vagrants and commit
them to these workhouses, and that
the proper authorities should be auth
orized to employ persons committed
to the warehouses; on the public high
ways or at other labor outside of the
workhouse property.

his story with pistol, the weapon
was discharged and the captain fell

Philadelphia, Dec. S.-The National
Council of the Union League of Amer

principal business transacted was the
adoption of declarations of principles,
to the following effect: THAT the
credit of the government at home and
abroad must be main tanned that such
improvements as shall be most bene-
ticial to commerce, and such enact
ments as may be most productive to
labor, shall be granted by the govern
ment; that the public schools of the
several States should be fostered and
protected from every encroachment,
especially from interference by any
sectarian movement; that the Church
and State shall remain forever free and
independent, and that to all citizens of

A SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS.

The President has been in the habit
of providing candidates defeated by the
people with lucrative Federal positions.
This was particularly the case with
Congressional aspirants, many of whom
upon being defeated were installed in
custom houses, and afforded almost as
good an opportunity to feather their
nests as if they had been members of
the Credit Mobilier Congress or OF the
District Ring. Last Fall there was an
unusually large crop of defeated Con
cressional candidates, all Of whom of
course, in accordance with the estab-
lished usagos of the third-termers, ex-
pected office. The result is n small
army Of eleeted-to-stay -at-homes at
Washington beseeching the President
for appointments. To these the stern
man, angered at the failure of the
Force bill, turns cold shoulder on
the street, and is no longer eat
home " when they send up their cards.
This is really provoking when every
one of the applicants might be-
United States Marshal, or at least q
Supervisor of the Ballot box if the bill
had only passed. It is wonderful how
shortsighted Ben Butler was not to
have seen the necessity of passing 1t
in the House much earlier in the ses-
sion, so as to give the Senate more
time to explain its usefulness. There
are hundreds of men to-day in Wash
in3ton, every one Of whom would be
an ardent advocate of the third-tern
if they were only provided for at the
expense Of the country, who will now
90 home and tell the truth about Grant,
and oppose his renomination. Really
the times are ont of joint when the
President of the United States is driven
TO the extremity of making enemies of
men in this manner, who if appointed
to ah Office with a moderate salary and
a fair show for stealing, would be his
most ardent admirers and swear that
the preservation of the Union depended
upon his reelection. 1t is greatly to
be feared, deploreble as such an occur
renee would be to those now holding
profitable places, that under such ad
verse circumstances Grant will not get
a third term, and unfortunately the
next Congress will not be likely to bet
ter his chances.

The commander of the garrison made a

Prince, who is exiled from his native
France, is TO be attached to the staff Of the
Duke of Cambridge, and marriags be-
tween him and the youngest daughter
of Queen Victoria is considered one Of
the probabilities.

THE supposed existence Of gold
mines in the Black Hills is Great
ing much excitement in the Western
States, and dispatches from st. Paul,
Sioux City and other places report par
ties forming to 50 to the mines. Mean
while General Ord at Omaha, acting
under instructions from the War De
partment, has issued orders to the
troops to occupy the Black Hills and
prevent miners from entering the ter
ritory. The authorities at Washington
sent an expedition to the Black Hills
to ascertain the character of the coun-
try. The biologists attached to the
command reported the existence of gold
there, aud the report was confirmed by
the commanding officer. This has ex-
cited the people of the Western States,
who are now organizing parties to pros
pect the country, but the Government.
which is the cause of the excitement, is
determined that they Shall not. How
this matter viii end remains to be seen,
but it is tolerably certain that if gold
in paying quantities exists in the Black
Hills it will be generally known this
summer, and then neither Indians nor
officers can prevent them from being
worked.

Sunday last, in this city, performed
one of the most remarkable operations
ever undertaken in this county, and
probably in the State. The feat was
nothing less than providing flesh aud
blood nose for a young man who had
lost that organ. In brief, the clrcum-
stances are as follows: The subject is
son of Uriah Cline, farmer living a
few miles south of this place. When
two years of age his nose was entirely
bitten off by dog, leaving two I'M
slightly holes in his face, the nostriis
being uncovered He is now eighteen.
and in the conscious humiliation OF
his deformity he applied to the doctor,
who is eminent in surgery, to know II
he could in any way help him. The
case was examined, and after due con-
Sideration an operation was decided
upon-the mode of procedure some
thing like the following: A nose, cast
in putty. was made to fit the deformed
organ; over this was placed paper IN
which was cut an exact pattern. when
ell was ready the operation proper be-
gan The young man was placed IN
der the influence of chlorotorm. The
pattern, two and half by three and
three-quarter inches mt widest parts,
was laid upon the forehead and out
lined by iodine. The skin inside this
area was taken out, left fast ut the
lower end, between the eyebrows; 1t
was then pulled down, turned upon
itself. shaped into the form OF nose,
nostrils being cut, and piece brought

upper lip. In the meantime, the sides
where the nose was to grow had been
freshened by cutting. The stitching
was done, the place in the forehead
where the skin was removed FROM
which the nose was manufactured, at
tended TO. and the operation wns com
plete. Four days have passed, and
the patient it getting along finely, the
healing is getting along rapidly, and
unless something unforeseen occurs ere
long the heretofore unfortunate man
will be blessed with very respectable
nose. a few scars only testlfying to the
wonderful operation.
