CHICAGO, March 4.-The Inter- Ocoon,.
washington special says: NOTHING il known
OF tne settlement of the Ute question excent
what can be learned through Secretarv
Schurz. Even the Senators from Colorado
nave not been invited to attend the conferen-
Yes oetWeen Schurz and the Utes and know
notnlhS OF the arrangements except what
och'lrz tells them. The understanding as
represented by him, is that the Utes have
agreed either to go out of the State or accent
lands III s~everalty in the State, and that each
ADULT male is to have one hundred and sixty
acres. One of the conditions is that the
Meeker mlrderers shall be given up as soon
as the arrangements are finally agreed upon.
secretary Schurz will submit the matter to
congress and ask authority to appoint a COM
mission to 60 out and settle matters with the
tribes in Colorado. 1t is believed the Utes
would rather 90 out of the State than ACCEPT
lands in severalty within its limits.
Indian Territory.
W~AsH1NGToN, March 4.-The Sta this
evening, an administration organ, published
the following semi-official article concerning
!hu!ah territory raiders: The reports from
lildlah Territory indicate that the squatters
are determined to enter the forbidden land,
ana say that on account of the thinness of
Inc line vi troops around, they cannot be pre-
vented, and this is as possible now AS it was
last year, when the first attempt on the Terri
tory was made. hen the squatters got in,
put were put out afterwards. They can
doubtless enter the Territory in bands, taking
Tor their points Of ingress parts of the line
where there are no troops. When they get in,
however, they have to separate in order to
Dulld II prepare for occupation. Then it is
that files OF soldiers go around, and picking up
the squatters drive them from the land, to
which they have no right. This was the ex-
perlence last year, and Gen'l Sherman has no
doubt but that it will be repeated in the pres
ent attempt. The squatters may get in, but
staying in is another thing.
Found Guilty Shot.
CINCINNATI, March "A special to the
Gazette says that G.. Groseman and VIM. Car
son were oundt to-day guilty of the murder
of Bernard Picker, at Van Vert, Ohio.
Picker was murdered at his door one night in

stove until she told them where to find 81 800.
When the men were arrested in Van Vert
they shotsthe Sheriff and Constable, inflicting
serious injuries. Daniel Harmon, tried with
the others, was acquitted.
A Gazette special says that John Moody, a
son of Whitfield Moody, a farmer living near
Kingston, KY, was shot by his brother George
last night. They had been quarreling, and
John was about to assault George with a
knife, when the latter fired the fatal shot. He
has fed.

I'fSN NEAE TUESDAY.

The Republican convention having
finished the woik assigned for its per
formance and dissolved into its original
clements, public attention is setting
strongly towards Cincinnati, where, on
Tuesday next, the 22nd instant, will as
semble a convention charged with the
duty of tanning the men who will en-
the 2nd of November next, be elected
President aud Vicc-Prcsident Of the
United States for the term commencing
on the 4th Of March, 1881.
We repeat, the Democratic conven-
ton will be charged with this high duty
aud will be expected to acquit itself Of
the great trust with absolute fidelity.
Under existing cenditionSa Democratic
victory in the pending canvass is not
mere possibility, not even O remote
probability. 1t is within easy reach,
provided judicious nominations are
made, aud the campaign is managed
with sagacity, zeal and energy common
surate with the tranScendent Importance
of the occasion. The Democratic mass
cs have right to expect that the Gin
cinnatl convention will organize victory,
and should the convention adjourn with
out giving fair promise of such result,
it will have wasted one Of the grandest
opportunities ever presented to any
party.
The Republicans have nominated q
weak ticket, but it has elements of
strength that must not be ignored. The
Administration, with its 100000 Offices,
will strain every nerve to insure the
election of Garfield and Arthur. Mr..
Sherman will throw the mOneyed inter
est, on which he relied, in favor of the
ticket, for its success will insure his con-
tinuance at the head of the Treasury.
There will be no lack of funds. The
music of the 'barl" will be heard i'll
every Northern State. These are potent
forces, and it will be the part of wisdom
for Democrats to give them due weight.
1t is always folly to uuderrate an oppo-
nent. And the man who thinks money
of no account in a Presidential campaign
has more of Arcadian simplicity than
political shrewdness.

uaEss,s.ge.s FERRY.

As our readers well know the Gov
ernment property at IIarpers Ferry was
not sold as advertised on May 25th,
nit The Solicitor OF the Treasury and
his Chief Clerk Webster Elmes, Esq,
gave this matter their earnest attention,
and knowing full well the great benefit
which the people of Jefferson and sur
rounding counties would derive from
its sale, caused it TO he advertised exten-
sively in all the leading papers of the
manufacturing ccnters of the country
hoping thereby to attract capitalists
who might be induced 10 purchase and
develop this important Water Power.
The day of sale arrived but with 1t
came 70 bidders, and the result was
that the Solicitor was compelled under
the law to withdraw the property from
sale, much TO the chagrin and disap-
pointment Of that ofliciA! as well as the
people OF lIarpers Ferry whose hopes
had hinged on tie sal. An impression
seems to have been formed by many
persons throughout the country that
the Government would not sell the
Water werproperty unless 1t brought
very large sum CT money, and this
impression may have had something to
do with causing the late failure to sell.
We are assured however upon very re
liable authority that at 4 very early day
Judge Rayner will again offer the prop
erty for sale and in so doing will confer
with the Secretary OF the Treasury and
Attorney General and will fix noml-
nal bid on it simply to protect the Gov
,ernmcnt from unusual sacrifice, thereby
placing the propeItyin a position which
will Justify capitalists i'll purchasing it
Judge Rayner has the reputatlon-and
Justly too-of being one OF the most
benevolent and kind hearted of men--
ready and willing at all times TO do a
kind act for the humblcst as readily as
for the highest in the land, and we can
assure the people of IIarpers Ferry who
have so much at stake in the develop
Inent of The Water Power at that point,
that Judge Rayner will do all IN his
power to help them on the road to
prosperity, by causing the property to
be offered for sale again at 10 distant
day. And let us all hope that at the
next sale the property will pass into the
hands OF capitalists who will use it tor
manufacturing purposes.

they had no reaper on hand. Although
they had some two months notice, | don't

no excuse for me, Is | have some old
