Joe Thom pson requests us to say
that the school tax levied in town
ship no. 8 last summer was two
mills, and not twe and a half. We
find bis statelnont:in this to he cor>
rect. He states, in justification of
his action, that he consulted tho
then school commissioner, Mr..
Crawford, and was advised by him
that q tax Of two mills should be
levied. Thompson also denies hav-
ing cndeavored to get up q Radical
nomination in the recent election.
He says that nomination was made
of himself and Henry Johnson--but
without his own seeking. We deem
it just TO give him what benefit may
come to him Of his statements.
We understand that nearly ifnot
quite all Of the stores in town will
be closed today, with q view to a
proper observance of lThanksgivings
Day. Services will be held in the
Associate Reformed and in the
Episcopal church, commencing at
eleven o'clock. In the Episcopal
church the congregation will use O
special service prepared and pre-
scribed for tho occasion by the
bishop Of tho diocese. There will
be no services in the other churches,
in consequence of tho absence of the
pastors.

Then the cormorants nocked around CHoR-
rEvNINd, and, representing their Irresistible
power in the premises, demanded $4,000
blackmail. He declined to give them a cent;
and as soon as his decision was
finally pronounced, Mr.. DAWES denounced
the claim MS a fraud. aud introduced the re-
pcnling resolution. Again, while this reso-
luton WIS pending in DAwEs's committee,
and entirely under his control. the lobby
men returned to CHoRPENNING and renewed
their demand. They had shown their power,
and believed that he would now stand and
deliver. They assured him that If he would
pay the sum required, DAWES would report
adversely upon the resolution, and say that
investigation had shown that he was wholly
mistaken about the character of the claim.
CHORPENNING has stated under oath that at
this time he was utterly destitute, and that
his family was actually in want OF bread.
lie could see plainly enough thau these men
had him in their grip, and he finally, but
with great reluctance, consented to pay
them $4,000, and no more. But they would
have $4,000 or nothing. and CHoRPENNING's
ruin was speedily completed by the report
ing and passage Of DAwIss's repeating reso-
luton.
Mr.. DAWES voted for the original CHOIR
pENSfNa resolution, aud must certainly
have considered the claim a good one then.
When did he change his mind and upon
what evidence; while tine tcpctling rcsolu-
tion was before his committee he took no

1t Is very certain that either DAWES or

stopping en- route to SOW and reap grain for
its support. 1t Is plain from recent tele-
grams that this army has at last arrived;

the Middle Empire are now to large cx

surprising that operations should begin
with an attack on YAKUB KHAN, whose dis

known that large results were looked for

accordance with the policy then followed at
Calcutta. the envoy was empowered to ask
much and promise little. and YAKrB KHAN
seems TO have made up his mind that there
was nothing substantial in English friend

1ashkcnt authorities underwent a change

were subordinated with such promptness to
his interests. for the fate of the Amir at this
cOnimcture may very possibly depend on
Gen. KAUFMAN. The general feeling of the
Russians IN Central Asia * said to be favor
able to the success of China; but the pres
ent watchful attitude Of the Calcutta Gov
eminent may deter them from overt partici-
patton in the struggles There are contin-

intervention. and therefore it is that the
fortunes of an Asiatic military adventurcr

The New War in Central Asia.

BY those who have marked the movement
OF event, in Iuike-tan, the relations be-
tween the Amir of Ka-hgar and the
Pekin Government havo been known to be-
extremely hostile. The territory out of
which in q singl" decade remarkable adj
venturer has built strong and independent
State IL claimed by the Chinese Empire on
the ground Of more than ccuturys occu-
patton. 1t now appears 10y a late Telegram
from Tashkcnt that the Chinese are under
taking To make good their title, that lAKru
KHAN l. preparing To resist them, and that.
reversing his former policy, ho has aimed 90
protect his Hank and rear by contracting
close alliance with Russia. This Is state
Of things which Is not unlikelyto cause some
serious complications in Central Asia.
The career Of the present ruler Of Ka-hgar
is one Of tho most romantic known to cur
rent history. Like many founders Of Oren-
tai dynasries. YAKUB was Of humble origin,
hat We need not point out that Mohamme-
dan communities, in spite OF an autocratic
form of government, are essentially demo-
cratic, and therefore prompt to recognize
superior abilities. We first hear of the
present Anhras an officer nthe khokandiau
service. and he won great distinction by his
defence Of the fortress Ak-Masjid against
the Rus .ian-. Soon alterward the rebellion
Of the Chinese Mussulmans spread to the
frontier provinces. and in 1854 YARUB went
to Kashgar as one Of the lieutcnants Of
BUzUK HODJA, n descendant OF the old
| HODJA princes dispos-cssci by the great
! Chinese expansion westward which took
place about a century before. Tue suisse
qucnt achievements OF this bold soldier. who
seems to have been a sort Of Asiatic WAL
LENsrEIN, are better known; how he wrcst
ed Kashgar from tho Pekn GSycrnment,
nominally rein-tated the ancient dyna sly,
but after using BUZUK KHAN "a long a. Tie
shadow of a name was necessary, throw Off
! the mask and declared himself sovereign
| Of the country; how he extended his rule
eastward by the conquest of Alsu, Tur-
fan, and other districts. and took in sue
ces-iou the titles OF Atnlyk Ghali and Da-
daulet, and in the end that Of Amir con-
fcrred on him by the Turkish Sultan in 1873
The abrupt resurrection Of Kushgar, UNI
der this soldier of fortune, illustrates the
singular impetu. which Il firm guidance
communicates to the energies Of a Moham-
medan society. According to BELLEw, who
accompanied tine FoRsYru mission. tine
cgonhanded justice melted ont by the Now
