WHETHER to believe the assertions
of Brigham Young, who is old enough
to have died dozen times, or OF John
D. Lee sitting on his coffin, is knotty
question for debating clubs. The final
solution Of the question will be, We
can hardly doubt, that Lee and Bug
ham are alike guilty. Lee, with fanat
zeal zeal, only obeyed the inspired
behests Of the prophet.

president HAYES stated TO Lamar
and Gordon that now, when he had
organized HIS government aud disposed
of matters Indispensable Of execution,
he would deal vigorously with disor-
derly facts in Louisiana. The two
Senators told the President that the
Packard government would fail when
ever the Federal troops were with
drawn. The President replied that he
would brook no delay in this matter,
but was resolved to have an end of
the intolerable condition Of affairs in
New Orleans. The Memphis Apatanehe,
in local article, says it is advised that
all the unused freight and passenger
cars on the Cairo and New Orleans
Railroad-now practically the property
of the Illinois Central, McCombs, of
Credit-Mobilier fame, having been
crushed out-hage been ordered to
New Orleans. The evident purpose is
the removal from New Orleans of the
two regiments of regulars. Even
Pinchback advised the President to
adopt this policy, and ''P .nch-y" says
the President told him that the ulti.
mate recognition of Nichols was inevi-
table. The election Of Stanley Mathews
as Senator from Ohio is the last nail
in Packard's cofiln. Packard published
the correspondence between Mathews
and himself to prevent Matthew's
election, but the Oh Legislature
stands bravely BY the President. II
Hayes need backbone it is abundantly
supplied from Ohio. Packard's capi-
tol, the old St. Louis Hotel, will be fer
rent next week, and We advise tavern
keepers to note the fact.

ritorie5.
BE IL enacted, &C., That it shall

file a declaration under oath with the
register and the receiver Of the land
district in which any desert land is
situated, that he intends to reclaim a
tract of desert land not exceeding one
section, by conducting water upon the
same, within the period of three years
thereafter, Provided however that the
right to the use of water by the person
SO conducting the same, or or to any
tract of desert land of six hundred and
forty acres shall depend upon bona fide
prior appropriation: and such right

actually appropriated, and necessarily
used for the purpose of irrigation and
reclamation; and all surplus water over
and above such actual appropriation
and use, together with the water of all,
lakes, rivers and other sources of water
supply upon the public lands and not
navigable, shall remain and be held
free for the appropriation and use of
the public for irrigation, mining and
manufacturing purposes subject to eX-
isting rights. Said declaration shall
describe particularly said section of
land if surveyed, and If u~nsurveyed,
shall describe the same as nearly as
n@--,11D ,,-,Nl~ a,,-
time within three years after filing
said declaration, upon making satisfac-

ceiver of the reclamation of said tract
of land in the manner aforesaid, and

additional sum of one dollar per acre
for a tract of land not exceeding six

Rroke laiI.

Last Tuesday evening between four
and five O'Clock, during a heavy rain
storm, four prisoners confined in the
Weld county Jail at Evans, escaped
by mean of a key which had been
smugglet in to them. Meyburg, Van
Dusen ana Bmleign, the three NeDras-
ka cattle thieves, were among the Jail
breakers. The four men were confined
in the same cell, and after opening the
cell door, had nothing to obstruct their
escape, except an ordinary door through
the outside wall of the Jail. The escape
was discovered very soon, and the alarm
being given, the citizens Of the neigh
borhood turned out en- masse and sur
rounding quite a large territory sue
ceeded in beating up the fugitives out
of the weeds in which they had taken
refuge, and capturing them.

Give 10 moFU. eDecl1ea PreclactsI
The universal demsnd Of the people
of Cheyenne is for another election
precinct, where the ballots Of the legal
voters can be deposited during the linz
tied hours Of election day without I'M
necessary delay and disagreeable crowd
ing, for which our former elections
have become distinguished. 1t is well
known to those who were present at
the polls on III last election day, that
a large crowd of people were in waiting
for their turn to cast their ballots,
when the polls were declared closed by
the judges Of election. We were pres
ent at the poll on that evening and
estimated the number of people de-
prived of their privilege to vote at three
hundred; Others put the number at four
hundred, and it is safe to say that at
least three hundred and fifty votes were
prevented from being polled last year
in Cheyenne, on account Of the lack of
facilities for voting furnished by our
county authorities.
A large number of people, especially
ladies, will not go to the polls, if they
know they will be kept in waiting and
have to push their way through a mis-
cellaneous crowd of the average
patriotic and enthusiastic citizen.
1t is very important that a full vote
be polled in this county at the coming
election, for the legislature will un-
doubtedly re-apportion the territory for
members of the legislature. and will
base its calculations upon the number
of votes cast by each county. We
ought to have an election precinct
north Of Fort Laramie, perhaps at Hat
Creek, and another at Mallory Gulch
or on Iron Creek. The County Com
missioners should not deprive our citi-
zens Of an opportunity to vote, for the
sake of saving 4 few dollars election

The Longmont Extension.

Hon. W. y. III. Loveland came up
from Denver yesterday and went out
over the line, returning last evening.
He states that over six miles of track
has been laid. Delay has again occurred
on account of the non-arrival of bridge
timbers. Yesterday a mile and a quar-
ter was laid. The advance grading
camp is IA miles south of Hazard and
tonight will see this section connected.
There are fully 220 teams at work
upon the grades. This week will see
tho road-bed completed to the other
side of Lone Mound, about sixteen
miles south of Hazard, and from that
point fully two miles per day will be
graded to Box Elder, which should be
reached by Saturday of next week.
Capt. Berthoud telegraphed on Mon
day for the pile drivers to commence
work on the bridge at Fort Collins, and
also to push work upon the depot at
that point, 80 the question of the loca-
ton of the line via that place seems to
have been settled. This bridge will be
244 feet long, the contractor for the
building of which is Mr.. Farwell, of
Fort Collins. Mr.. Rhodes has the con-
tract for building the depot there,
which is to be of brick, s0x25 feet, with
corrugated iron roof.
A depot of similar character and
dimensions is contracted for at Big
Thompson, and a depot and necessary
side tracks ut Little Thompson has
been arranged for. A depot will also
be required at or near Lone Mound, as
the company expects a big trade in
wool, stock, ETC., at this point, and con-
siderable passenger traffic, las the noun
tains back of it are well settled up,
besides being quite a popular resort for
the people of Cheyenne. We are fully
assured that the road will be completed
and in running order from Golden to
CHEYENNE by October.

on business connected with the Denver
Pacific road, has returned and states
that everything that can be, has been
done to open the road in accordance
with the agreement made with the
county commissioners. Tickets are
now on sale in the principal cities east,
and the road is beng extensively adver-
tised in New York city. The arrange
ment for selling tickets from Denver

but will be as speedily as possible. The

Hayford on the Apuor.ionmen..

The following is Hayford's editorial
on Governor Thayer's apportionment
proclamation:
We publish to-day Gov. Thayer's APP
portionment and election proclamation.
The Governor has given to this county
q fair representation, and all we asked
or claimed. He has done as near the
fair thing as could be expected, consid-
ering the s~elfishness of Cheyenne intiu-
ences with which the Executive is sur
rounded and the natural desire to keep
peace with them.
We will volunteer our Cheyenne
neighbors the advice, that, with the
Capital, all the Federal officers of the
Territory and its incidental patronage,
with the benefit of all the local and
lobby influences, they could have afford
ed to be just if not generous to the Wes-
tern portion of the Territory, and it
would have been better for them in the
long run to have done so.
Now, we suppose, there is no man
excepting Hayford, in this Territory,
who can explain what our Cheyenne
neighbors'' had to do with the procla-
nation of apportionment. The insinu-
alton that Governor Thayer was unduly
influenced by anybody in the discharge
| of his sworn duties, is as gratuitous as
it is malicious, and will be regarded by
fair minded people all over the Terri
tory as one of Hayford's foul methods
of warfare, which he is'trying to insti-
tute between Cheyenne and Laramie
County, and the western counties of
Wyoming.
