Sherman on Washington Society and
Post Traders: left Washington chiefly
because my salary could not support me
and because did not consider the soci-
ETY. there the proper place in which to
rear family. There has been q good
deal OF dissatisfaction about Belknaps
post traders. Some of these fellows ap-
pointed were regarded as suspicious
characters and their society was obnoxi-
GUS to the officers, but the question had
been taken entirely out of my hands and
l could say nothing without interfering
with the business OF the Secretary Of
War. There are more than one hundred
and fifty trading posts on the frontier
and l expect there is good deal of
fraud yet to be developed.

The s. F. Bulletin publishes very
sensible article upon the recent encroach-
ments of the Federal authority upon the
powers Of the Judiciary of the several
States. The act of the third Of March,
1875, authorizes the transfer Of all cases
from the State to the Federal Courts, II
the subject matter in dispute be real
estate. the title OF which is derived from
or held under the United States. This
provision, il generally carried ut,would
conclude the jurisdiction Of the courts of
the State in most mining suits, and is
calculated to work great hardship in
many cases. As the jurisdiction and
powers OF the Federal courts are being
remodeled, it would be we'll IL this obnox-
ious act were repealed. The pro-
ceedure in Federal courts has moth
ing to commend, it being as gen.
eral rule slow, expensive and vexatious.
While compelling suitors and their wit
nesses to travel hundreds of miles to at
tend court at an enormous expense is
an evil that can not too soon be ended.
The Law as 1t now stands looks as IL II
were expressly enacted to further the
the ends OF the rich and powerful and to
deny the poor any opportunity OF assert
ing their rights.

The big race turns out TO be a discred-
liable affair all round. The owners Of
the horses did not put up any entrance
money, but gave their notes. What with
this arrangement, the dissatisfaction
about the distancing Of two horses, and
other suspicious circumstances, big
races OF that character had better be
avoided in the future.

For time 1t looked as though the
present House of Representatives were
not going 10 effect much. There ap.
peared to be some foundation for the i'll
natured taunt OF the partisans of tho ad-
ministration that the Lower House was
a do nothing body. Now. however, if it
never does anything else that merits ap-
probation it certainly can appropriate
the credit Of killing the third term as
dead as the prehistoric man. The people
can stand good deal. but when the eyi.
dence is daily increasing that the seven
years Of Grants administration ha sheen
the most corrupt that has ever been
known In the history Of the country,
the medium through which this mon.
strous evil is exposed is certainly en-.
titled to the gratitude Of the nation
This much at any rate the present
House Of Representatives has done.
