on q letter ut the postoillce, expecting,
OF course, large order for the paper,
huge advertisement or ut least an
interesting correspondence. Judge of
our surprise when it turned up to be a
long puff for two sherman houses, in
the shape Of letter from the western
counties, and containing the delicate
bait of an offer to subscribe for the
weekly, in case tho letter was pub
lished. Here's enterprise for you with
u vengeance. Twenty dollars worth
of advertising, aud iiGty.two copies Of
the WEEKLY HERALD for two dollars.
Our friends idea Of business will have

much in Sherman.

A Reign of Terror in Darke County.
Cleveland, Oct. 30.-The city Of Day
ton is in a state of excitement over a
terrible outrage committed near that
place last Thursday evening on Wesley
Guyer, an old resident Of the town,
living on the outskirts. He was reused
by cries at the door of his house.
Someone asked to see him and he went
to the door to find out who it was and
found a large gang of men assembled
in front Of his house, wearing masks
and carrying rifles. Before he could
escape Il volley was fired, rousing the
entire neighborhood. The assassins
scattered at once, and Guyer was found
by his neighbors riddled with bullets
and dying. Forty balls were counted,
most of them passing through his body.
Others shattered the doorway of the
house.
The entire country is in an uproar of
excitement with the determination to
bring the murderous villains to justice.
No trace of them has as yet been dis
covered.

THE Commissioner General of the
Land Office, acting under direction of
Secretary Schurz-to whom he referred
the matter-will shortly issue addi-
tional instructions regarding the inves-
tigation of suspended desert land
entries. These supplemental instruc-
tions will provide that the notice for
taking testimony shall be served by
mail upon the person in whose name
the entry was made, If his residence is
known, and by publication in a news
paper in the county embracing the tract
If his residence is not known. They
require entry to be made whether the
applicant knew the character Of the
land before the entry was filed, and il
so, for how long period; whether he
himself paid the first installment, or If
it was advanced by any other person,
and by whom, and whether he has con-
veyed, assigned or mortgaged, or agreed
to convey, assign or mortgage the land,
and if so, upon what consideration.
Local land officers are furthermore
specially instructed to obtain testi-
mony as to the character of the land
from other persons than those applying
to enter them.

Death of Gen. Forrest.

Memphis, Oct. 30.-Gen. Bedford For
rest, the great Confederate cavalry
officer, died at 1880 last evening, at the
residence of his son, Col. Jesse Forrest,
on Union street.
Washington, Oct. 30.-A meeting
was held tonight at the rooms of Col
Young, Representative from the Mem
phis district, of Tennessee, by members
of the cavalry corps of the late Gen.
Forrest, to take action i'll reference to
his death. Gen. Chalmer presided and
Gen. Dibell acted as secretary. A
committee, consisting of Gen. Chalmers,
Col. Young, Gen Ferney, Ala, Gen.
Cook, of Georgia, and Col. Nancy, of
Mississippi, were appointed to draft res
olntions and forward them to the fami-
ly of the deceased.

THE Secretary of the Interior on
Tuesday heard the argument on the
application of the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company for permission to
change the route of their branch line
so as to make it leave the main line at
Wallula and run to Tacoma, instead of
its present location from Pend Dorcille
lake. Col. Grey, attorney for the COM
pany, advocated the proposition, and
Delegate Jacobs, of Washington Ter
ritory, opposed it. 1t appears from
statistics furnished by the Commits
sioner of the General Land Office that
there are some five and half million of
acres Of land withdrawn by the Gov
ernment along the present branch route,
and that two million would have to be
withdrawn for the benefit of the COM
pany along the proposed new route. If
the change Of route is authorized the
lands now withdrawn would be re-
stored to the public domain.

THE PRESIDENTIAL PARTY.
Reception at Richmond.


Richmond, Oct. 30.-The Presiden-
tial party arrived at Fredericksburg
this morning and were greeted with
cannon firing, music and an enthusiast
tic crowd. Congressman Braxton well
coined him. The President regretted
the enforced shortness of his stay and
introduced Secretary Evarts and Sher-
man. They spoke briefly.
The arrival of the trainin Richmond
was the signal for salute from howit-
zers. Ten thousand people were at the
depot, and they cheered Justify rs the
party alighted from the cars. The
committee escorted them to the plat
form, where Mayor Meredith extended
cordial greeting, bidding him God
speed in his efforts to give the country
a pacific and constitutional admins
tration, and promising the cooperation
of Virginia. The President In response

Political Potpourri.

The President has completely tianked
the Pennsylvania politicians who have
been clamoring for Simon Cameron's
appointment, by sending to the Senate
yesterday the nomination of John
Welch, of Philadelphia, to be Minister
to England. The members of the
Pennsylvania delegation are quite in
dignant, as Welsh is no politician, nor
is he considered representative Repub-
lican. He was president of the Gen.
tennial Board of Finance and is man
of considerable wealth.
Chicago, Oct. 30.-The Times Wash
ipgton special says the fact that Hill
liard's nomination was not acted on
to-day by the committee together with
all the others is regarded as an indica-
tion that his anti-bellum and war
record is to be thoroughly vented by
the committee. His appointment ex-
cited not little comment among Re-
publicans, and rumors are abundant of
the probable action thereupon. The
committee are all very reticent.
There was a solemn and peculiarly
affecting scene in the Senate when the
chaplain occupied almost the whole
time of his prayer with special invo-
cation in behalf of Morton, whose
hopeless condition excites the gravest
fears among his colleagues. There was
a death-like stiffness, and every Sena-
tor, including McCreery-whoi is usu-
ally utterly Indifferent to prayer-rose
to his feet and looked peculiarly grave.
Morton's name is mentioned uniformly
with the deepest respect, notwithstand-
ing his partisan record in the Chamber.
The nomination of Welsh for Eng
lish minister fell like bomb-shell in
the Senate. and caused as great COM
motion. Each Senator seemed to say
in his look, "It's another fire-brand.'
Welsh has attained notoriety by attack
ing corruption in the Indian Bureau
and as friend of the red man. He is
of rather awkward and homely figure,
and will not grace England's courts, and
the selection is exasperating in every
sense. He is invulnerable because he
is a nonentity.
Clarkson Potter to-day requested
Randall to relieve him from the chair
manship of the committee on Pacific
roads. He expected the chairman
ship of the judiciary committee, and
appears much dissatisfied. He was
put on the Pacific committee because of
his being lawyer of great railroad
ability, but this he claim is n bar to his
being on the committee, as it might
embarrass him in some of his cases.
Blue Jeans Williams is in Washing
ton, attached to one end of tele-
graph wire, waiting for news of Nor
toms death.
Dan Voorhees, also waits with the
greed of an expectant heir for dead
mans shoes. Since the news of Nor
toms rapid decline Williams has grown
into an Importance he never knew be-
fore. 1t is now believed that ex-Gov.
Hendricks, not VOORHEES,, will be Nor
TOMS successor if any. In fact, such
was the advice Of large meeting of
prominent Democrats tonight, whose
advice Williams invoked.
The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1877-10-31

alluded to the early historical interest
attaching to Richmond, and to its
growing Importance as commercial
centre. He alludedto its great matur-
ity and advantages, and predicted a
glorious future. He alluded to the
growing population, which is already
apparent, because Of the abolition Of
slavery, during which system the land
was owned in large tracts, while now it
is gradually being cut up for smaller
farms.
After speeches by members of the
Cabinet present, the colored military
escort, with fire companies, ETC., took
the party to the Exchange hotel. To-
morrow he visits the state fair.
