The Investigators Reach Minnesota.

A telegram from Washington, on
the nth, says: Serious charges have been
made here against what is known as the pine
land ring in Minnesota, and which are to be
the. subject Of investigation. 1t is said that
over >20o, 900 has been paid to former sur
veyor generals for stumpage on government
lands, and that only six or seven thousand
dollars has been accounted for to the depart
*ment. Other fraudulent practices in con-
nection with pine lands are also alleged and
are to be investigated. An agent Of the in
terror department was sent some time ago to
Investigate the records Of the surveyor gen.
erals Office at St. Paul. 1t is not alleged that
the present surveyor general is implicated.
It is said that u special commission is to be
appointed to investigate the whole subject, Of
which c. w. Nash, of St. Paul, is to be secre-
tary.

THE ORDER OF "AMERICAN UNION
An Alleged Third Term Conspiracy.

The New York Herald of Tuesday
contains what purports be to be n
full exposure of the plans, purposes
and organization of the "Order of
American Union" of which it asserts
President Grant, Postmaster-Goncr
al jewell and OK Speaker Blaine arc
members. The fundamental princi-
ples of the order or society are
G learly defined and asserted in one
Of tho printed "synopses" among the
many already issuod by tho Senate
or. supreme body. These principles
read as follows
"We oppose division of the
school fund for any sectarian pur.
poses whatever. In q word, We are
pledged to maintain our republican
form of government and it's institu-
tions rs inherited from our fathersand
to place all men jointly in position
to defend themselves against the
aggrossions of Romanism."
The Herald snys the Order was
organized in the year 1867, with the
avowed purpose to "disfranchise
Roman Catholics, and to prevent
them from holding political office"
Its national government is called
the Senate, while the State organi-
zations of governments" are styled
"State Legislatures" and these lat
tor ore divided into lodges or subor-
dinate organizations, known in the
union as "councils." Candidates
for admission to membership are
subjected to numerous questions,
all showing the anti-Catholic charnc-
Tor of this new political organization,
after which the candidate is blind
folded and required to repeat the
following, uplifted hands: :'To
perpetuate the American Union ; to
oppose the power Of the Church OF
Rome to sustain our free, unsecta
rian schools to oppose appropria,
tion of public money for sectarian
purposes to oppose the the election
of Papists to political otfico--to nl
of which I pledge my life, my for
tune and my sacred honor. So holl
me God"
The total membership throughout
the country at present is said to be
76,811. The largest number in any
ono State is found in the State O.
New York, the strength of the order
being 21,217. New York State has
forty-three councils; Ohio, twenty

[Fron, the Nation.7

Less than eighteen months ago,
Senator Morton was engaged in a
public attempt to extenuate the
political, Generalization of South
Carolina, and to ,clear the repub-
iican party Of NIL responsibility for
it. At about the same time, the
Administration, beginning to feel
the incubus. of this pet republican
Southern State, was sending down
hints to get rid Of Governor +. j.
Moses by impeaching him. This
was aftor the failure to get tried for
grand larceny his defence being
that a Governor of the State could
not be indicted before he had been
impeaohed. Shortly after that he
lost u denomination, and was sue
eeded by Chamberlain, and the
general impression was that reform
had been begun, if not already
achieved, "within the party" It
very soon became evident, however,
that the Legislature had not been
included in the reform, and that the
greatest service the new Governor
could render the State was to watch
all it's proceedings and veto what he
could of them. He had enough in
huence with them last winter to
prevent their appointing the noto-
rious ". j. Whipper. to a vacant
judgeship in the Charleston district
and his appeal to them to preserve
the party from such q disgrace
really seemed to have some weight
with the Assembly. They have
grown wiser, however in the in,

COMBAT WITH A CATAMOUNT.
Fatal Fight Of an Old Hunter with q
Huge Catamount. p... .#n

A correspondent describes tho ter
rible fate of Jackson Fraily, q
veteran old Penns ylvania hunter,
who started out from Martinsville
on Wednesday of last week with
two comrades on a hunting expedi
ton. The Welch Mountain in the
vicinity is heavily. timbored and
surrounded by great swamps md
ravinos, i'll which bears, catamounts
and other wild animals are plenty.
Tho hunters did not return on We'd
nesday night, nor WAS anything
heard of them the next night, and
their friends determined to de-
spatch soarchers to find them. On
Friday morning twenty ,stalwart
woodsmen started to search for the
missing men. At about 10 o'clock
the body of Fraily was found nearly
covered up q in snow drift near the
foot of the mountain. His clothing
was torn off from his throat to his
knees, and his face, neck, breast
and abdomen were terribly lacerated
seemingly by the cldws or teeth of
u wild animal. Nothing further
was found until the party reached
Tamarack swamp, While going
about the swamp one of the men
found Frailoy's rifle standing
against a tree. Both barrels we're
empty A short distance to the
right, i'll n hollow, was the body of
an enormous catamolmt. 1t was
covered with wounds, ono being
made by q rifle ball, and tho rost
plainly by knife. The snow hay
ing been scrapcd away about the
tree against which the rifle stood,
tho hunter's S knife, Ia long clasp
knife with q buckhorn handle, and
pieces of his clothing were found.
1t was evident that there had been
a fearful struggle, for tho ground
was covered with blood for, several
feet around, and the rnderb1rlsh
was bloody and broken. The search
was resumed, and the other two
missing hunters We're ut last dis
covered alive and well, though they
knew nothing Of tho fate of Fraily
until now, he having separated from
them on tho first day out. Fraily
was known throughout Pennsyl-
vania as the Nimrod of the State.
He had followed hunting and trap
ping for thirty years, and had
killed over two thousand deer, two
hundred and forty-tlreo bears,
twenty-five catamo1lnts, three
panthers. and unn,unbered wolves
and foxes.

to be hoped that he will be able to
hold his own in the interests Of the
