COMMITS MAN.

Much specuioslOh mas Oecn MeuC
with regard to the reality OF Mr..
Conant's man, eacli differing, and
now comes an interview with .
Denver assayer, published in the
Democrat Of that city. Tho as.
sayer says in regard to Conant's
man:
In August, 1875, five Of us were
prospecting in tho vicinity Of Pn-
eblo. III coming upon u sandstone
quarry, one Of the party observed
a sort OF likeness Of a man drawn
upon the rock. The incident oc.
casioncd a deal Of talk about an
cicnt creations, aud tho idea Of got
ting up second Cardiff giant was
then favorably discussed. The
party agreed to undertake the task,
and a stone cutter named SauD-
ders, who had been working IN he
vicinity, and was known to be a
clever hand at modelling, was at
once sought out, and an agreement
made for the figure. While the
plan was in progress, one Of tho
party, in II joking way, said tho
thing ought to have a tail, as in
ancient times men had tails SIX or
seven inches long. II was decided
among tho party that tho figure
should be known as u pelrfcd
Aztec Indian, and that they would
resurrcct him after six months
and impose him OH the public as
such. The one-cuttcr, not seeing
the Joke, set to work aud made the
figure with tail appended. The
price paid the artisan was $l36,
aud after nc had completed the fly
ure II was buried. Tho Mnldoon'
was mace out of sandstone aud
dried by the cabin fire, which
partly accounts for tho little molct
on the surface. After the burial
two feet from the surface Of the
ground--thc party went their way
to await the resurrection: A few
Of the prospectors had got wind
Of the proceedings and were keep
ing an eye on tho party, and sc
they dispersed in different direc
tions. Finally they became seat

remainder in different parts Of tn

In the course Of the discussion
OH the army bill, Harrison, of ILL
nois, dwelt at length on the en-
pIoy ment Of troops in tho South,
and went on to argue that If the
troops had been employed against
the indians the Indian wars might
have been terminated. Townsend,
Of New York, interjected a remark
that he knew Of but one way to
conquer the Indians, and that was
to withdraw the troops aud concil-
late them. The remark was recei-
we'd by the Republicans, and as
Townsend Is a pronounced vppc-
mont Of Hayes southern policy,
the sllusion to It was regarded as
significant.

In its review Of the life and
character of the late Senator Nor
ton, the Globe Democrat asserted
very positively that the deceased
was warm supporter Of Andy
johnson in the early days Of the
policy which led to impeachment.
This statement has since been very
widely contradicted, bu, to-day We
print . letter recently discovered
among Mr.. Johnson's papers, that
settles the matter very clearly on
the side vi the Globe Democrat.
This letter, it will be seen, was
written after Mr.. johnson had sent
TO Congress the annual message
which occasioncd the breach be.
tween him aud the Republican
party. II will not do, therefore,
to say that Morton's support Of
johnson was solely prior to the
