The old town of Salisbury, N. c., is in
much trouble, At the close of the Reyo-
lutionary war David Stewart was given
475 acres OF land for services rendered in

passed, the town of Salisbury was built on
the land, Stewart died, the deed remained
locked mp, and the town OF Salisbury was
built and continued to improve until now
the land is valued at S5,OOO,00O. And
now, too, the heirs Of old Stewart have
turned mp and cluim immediate possession

We really feel bad for that FELLOW Wilcox,
Of the South Toledo AdccIiiser. We presume
that if the Commissioners had known he was

Judging from the above, the Sentinel ha s
got about to the cad Of its string. 1t was
the understanding when the Commissioners
met Rjoint session that each county should
pay half, so there was no divide-only that
each county pay as az reed. We are not
certain whether the Sentinel runs Newton,
or Newton the Sentinel 1t looks very
much like big !, and little IL, for any one
to stand ont, when the mnjlrity of those

in toll during that time. The Sentinel APP
pears to have forgotten that Bowling
Green agreed to build the court house and

that they repuliated the debt and the

Cleveland Herald; An unpleasant bit
of news for Brigham Young comes from
Tucson, Arizona. Among the papers of
the late ex-Judge Titus, OF Arizona, who
was formerly Chief Justice of Utah, has
been found the original order for the
Mountain Meadow massacre, signed by
James Ferguson, "Assistant Adiutant Gen
eral," by order OF "Generaln Daniel II.
Wells, and dated Salt Lake City, April 10,
1858. 1t orders the escort to be well pre-
pared with ammunition, and ready when
the teamsters were met one hundred miles
from the settlement. president Young
advises that they should be all killed to
prevent them from returning to Brideer to
Join our enomies. Every caution should
be taken, and see that no one escapes. Se-
crecy is required"
The enemies" which II was feared the
emigranis might join in case any escaped
the slaughter, were the United States
troops, then ut Brideer awaiting the prop
sr time 10 march upon the Mormons and
compel ltheirsubmission to the Government.
The authenticity Of the order IL attested
by three afiidavits, aud the law partner of
the late Chief Justice, in whose possession
the papers now remain, says Judge Titus
never doubted the gennineness Of the or
der, or the guilt OF Brigham Young.

REDFIELD says: "The best thing the
Solid South can do is to cease to be solid
Let them split up and divide out and they
will stand a chance in the general scrim-
mage, but SO long ns they are solid the
bulk of the North will go in the opposite
direction, ,actuated byabundant caution, and
the South will suffer the fate ever in store
for the weaker party. The North can stand
a Solid South but the South can't. After
the next apportionment, which will largely
increase the political power of tho West
the Northwest through increase OF popula-
ton, the Solid South will be relatively SO
weak as to be matter of small concern to
anybody but herself. To BIZ outmatched
by the Northern States west of the A lie
gheny Mountains is certainly her fate leav-
ing out of the question the immense power
welded by the great Middle and Eastern
States. In the face OF these facts, her utter
inability to accomplish anything by sec.
tional politics, and certainty of overthrow
when pitted against the other section, and
that section continually growing so that
ere long the half of il west Of the noun
Eains will be more powerful than the whole
S0uth--in the face OF these facts, | say
those who are seeking to keep the South
solid are her own worst enemies Sectional
politics is the bane of the weaker section.
The stronger can stand il very WELL"

At nresent there seems to be but little
,rooress made with the unruly savage IN
Orcgon ard Montana. Chief Joseph Is
too willy to be caught and his opponent
appears to be too incompetent to defeat
him. In speaking of Gen. Howard the
New York Sun" asserts that the lncapa-
CITY shown by him in the field, i'll the pur-
su;t in the handling Of his forces and IN
the direction Of operations ever since the
camp,ien against Chief Joseph opened a
month ago, has been Of the most astonlsh-
ing kind. Howard's troop' were defeated
by Joseph III the first en-
counter, he has been hoodwlnked
outwitted, and bamhoozled by Joseph over
and over again he has been led far away
into Montana by Joseph; Yesterday we
had an account of a bloody defeat of that
portion of his troops under the command
of Gen. Gbbon. One captain, two lieu
tenants, and twenty-five men were killed,
and fortv-tive officers and men were wound
ed. out of force of one hundred al d
eiyhty.two officers and soldiers. Gibbon' $
little army fought with courage and peril
nacity-do doubt OF that; but what Is to
be thought of Howard's management OF
his campaign and his disposition of his
troops, when disaster fellows disaster and
only carnage is reported in the dispatches
From the day Howard took the tieIc
against Joseph, he has been boastlng O
what he would do. At one time he was
about to bag Joseph's men; at another
time he was about to take Joseph in th;
rear and again he was on the eve Of sur
rounding Joseph. His brag has been ri
dicnlous all along. And now, after th
defeat at Big Hole, in Montana, we ar
told that he has arrived at a point eight
cen miles from Gibbons camp, and is abou
to pursue the victorious Indians, who
however, according TO the dispatch, hav
disappeared-gone to parts unknown.

The repudiationists have been defeated

The repudiationists have been defeated
in the Richmond Convention, but they
have also defeated the most prominent
candidate of the other wing bv coalition
with the Holiday faction. The rest Of it
is, in measure, satisfactory it is certan>
ly in every way creditable TO the State.
The inevitable disintegration of the party
that holds the State solid has been post
poned, but the radical differences of opin-
ion that were developed in the Convention
show that the agencies would promote dis
ruption are at work, and that only the
heat Of new national issue is required to
secure the every ~way~desirable .breach
The question at home in the Convention
was, however, one of vital moment to the
honor Of the State, and everyone must re-
joice that the escutcheon of Virginia has
been preserved from the blot Of repudla-
tion.- Brooklvn Times.

that with such elements Il. B .aine and Hill
in it there will be danger Of some Of the

Of Hill is not high, and he has lately ex

true. But onr population is no doubt

OSES NpDRT,

There seems no doubt about the full re-
sponsibility of the New Jersey Central
road for the accident at Oceanport. The
draw-heeper seems to have done all of his
duty that was made known to him in a
routine way, and this all that can be ex-
pected from men in his position. lie car
ried out the instructions of his employers
and cannot be held answerabIe for not & Z
ing beyond them. The position of the
company is worse. Their drawbrdge
seems to have been public th0roughfare.
The Lever by which the draw was opened
was accessible to everybody, and there
was nothing to prevent any malicious, or
curious, or careless person from manlpu-
lating it 50 as to endanser coming train.
A slight arrangement, 50 slight as net to
be visible to the bridge-keeper, might be,
and was nthi5 instance, sufficient to wreck
train. This is scandalous recklessness,
and the blame for it goes to the general
| management of the road. 1t is to be
hoped that there are not many roads run
with such criminal carelessness as is shown
in this case. But we have no security that
this accident may not be repeated on othe1
roads, ard the attention Of their managers
be first drawn 20 q defect in their manage
ment by its fatal results. The least securit,
against such result will be the award 0
ample damages to the Sufferers by th
Oceanport disaster against the compan
which is S, clearly accountable for thei
Injuries.
