facts that have come into our possession
toucl ing the conduct of Judge Swings
Court We have intended no personal raid
upon any one connected with that Court.
We have spoken in the public interest for
the purifcation nf that Court. which would
be public advantage. We simply desire
that this Court of justice shall itself be
Just. Nor have We attacked the Federal
Courts as whole. We have only
printed some OF the truth about
one of them, and have commented
upon the facts we nave made knOwn.-Gen.
Robinson, Chairman of the Republican
State Executive Committee, in Cleveland
Herald interview, saws the Democrats will
nominate Tilden for President and dwells
upon "Old Usufruct's" alleged style nf
campaigning He tells that Tilden gets
articles inserted in newspapers at IS to $40
apiece, and that ''in 1876 the Democratic
dailies in Ohio cost Mr. Tilden SO, 900 before
the nominating Convention met at all"
General Robinson talks upon a subject
upon which lie has probably not
had the best opportunities to be in
formed. He could speak with greater
accuracy, create greater sensa-
ton, and, altogether, make himself much
more interesting by giving the inside rami-
fcations of the Republican bank account
during the recent Ohio campaign.

at the White River Agency massacre hav-

Ouray may he sufficient to secure the sur
render also of the Indians who participated
in that shocking buchery. But it must not
be supposed that because peaceable means
are to be tried, there has been NEGLECT in
preparing for more serious difficulty.
There has been perfect accord be-
tween the General of the Army and the
! Secretary as to the course to be pursued.
Troops and supplies have been hasteued
forward to POINTS of military importance
in case hostilties are decided on, and there
will be no delay in striking the hostiles
when it becomes apparent that the more
peaceable method of dealing with them has
failed. The Manhattan Gas-works are,now

The result OF t.is reduction, according
to the American Gas Light Journal. is
greater consumption. The Kerosene lamps
are disappearing. In one instance alone
more than two hundred consumers changed
from oil to gas. The gas, too, is of good
quality, being rated at about seventeen

carry Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey
and Virginia. The Republicans are
toerablv sure of Massachusetts,, Pennsyl

by both sides, with the chances in favor of
the election of Cornell Governor owing to
the fuctlous fight between Robinson and
Kelly. The Republicans claim the Legis-
luture ashineton Territory
need not ring the bell for admission into
tie Union until 8 e can show much lar
ger population than SO 900. 1t is uni list to
the people Of the larger States, with popu-
atiuns running up into the millions, to
admit such scantily clothed regions to an
equality IF power in the United States
Senate. On t is account the admission of
the several Territories expected to apply for
admission will be opposed.
The Gazette SAYS: Don Carlos, of Spain
is likely to be banished from French terri
tory, because he is an object of semi-roya
attentions on the part OF some French Off

While the Government interference might

over-sensitiveness, it is really justifiable

country has not yet recovered from the dis
