SECRETARY SCHURZ is understood to
have effected an arrangement with the
fifteen chiefs of the Ute nation Of In
dians, by which they agree to cede to
the United States their reservation in
Colorado, and the United States agree
to grant to each head of family 100
acres of agricultural land and like
amount of grazing land, and one-half
of this quantity to each single person.
The land thus granted is to be set apart
for these Indians, and the title given is
to be fee simple to each Indian. The
title is to be inalienable for twenty
five years and the land to be untaxable
for the same period. The Indians are
to select their own locations, in certain
districts named in the'stipulation. The
Government is to survey the lands
and issue patents TO the Indians in
serveralty. AS soon as the several
tribes of the Ute nation shall have ac-
cepted this arrangement, the Govern
ment is to pay in cash to the Indians
the annuities now provided for by law,
amounting at this time to $50, 900, and
as much more as Congress shall see fit
to appropriate. In addition to this, the
Utes are to receive an annuity of $50
600, to be distributed among them per
capita, and their present annuity OF
S25, 900 is to be continued. The whole
number of these, Indians is a little
more than four thousand, and what
they surrender to the Government is
their reservation in Colorado, amount
ing to nearly twelve millions of acres
of land.

Hot Haste-Kemble g. Go. Apply
ing For Pardon.

HARRIsBURG, March 12.-The ap-
pearance of the following in the Harris
burg Telegraph this afternoon caused
quite a sensation in this city, and no
doubt will in the entire State:
"Notice is hereby given that applica-
ton will be made to the Board of Par
dons for the pardon of Chas. B. Salter,
VIM. II. Kemble, Jesse r. Crawford,
VIM. f. Rumberger and Emile j. Pc
troff, in cases respectively against them
in the Court Of Quarter Sessions of
Dauphin county, for corrupt solicita-
ton"
This notice was published at the in
stance of the Harrisburg attorneys for
the accused, and of course it was au-
thorized by the defendants awaiting
sentence 1t was generally supposed an
application for pardon would be made
in case the sentence of the Court was
severe, but such indecent haste was
wholly unexpected, and it will be sur
prising if the maximum punishment of
the law is not administered. The ap.
plication for pardon is not only re-
garded as an insult to the Court, which
will not pronounce judgment on the ac-
cused until the 29th inst, but to the
Board of Pardons.
AS the next regular meeting of the
board will be held on Tuesday next
and as two weeks publication Of the
notice of application is required, and
the evidence of publication must be
fled with the board 10 days before the
time fixed for the meeting, the cases
will probably be considered at the
April session, beginning on the 18th
There is rumor that the board will
hold special session for the accommo
dation of the applicants for pardon, bu
its previous honorable action gives as
surance that it will not place itself il
that unenviable light.

man, the effect was very much the same
if not their choice, they had standard
bearer of fine physique and every inch a
soldier. Consequently, the "send off, in
tended for Bayard was easily transferred
to his successful rival, and in the evening a
large flag was suspended across the flour
corners" to which was attached tho names
of the candidates. In addition the Ilar-
mony" Brass Band' was employed to make
music for the occasion, and a partial at
tempt at illumination-S. F. Phelps, the
Clothier Of Wilmington, being the only one
who went to the full extent of candle
lighting up. Quite a number of rockets
were fired off which immensely delighted
the young people. The novelty of the
event brought together quite a crowd, a
large number of whom exhibited the usual
enthusiasm of political occasion. After
the band had played tune or two Mr.
Edward Harrison mounted box for q
public expression of approval Of the can
didates selected. His speech was short
but emphatic. lie said while they had
not got their choice, they had man who
would be elected as sure as there was a Goo
in Heaven. That the applause of the
evening was as nothing to the thunder
clap that would be heard in November, &c
Mr.. Benz. a. Hazel was called to the box
but he spoke very briefly, simply endorsing
the nomination and passing a compli
mentary remark to the Band. He was fol
lowed by Mr.. Phelps, who engineered thu
demonstration in speech of create
length.

The NEXT PRRsIDENT.-With the selec-
ton of Gen. Hancock at CINCINNATI for
candidate for President, the list is compile
ted, making four, viz: Garfield, Republi-
can; Hancock, Democrat; Weaver, Green.
back, and Neal Dow, Prohibitionist. The
race will be between the two first, and the
contest promises to be an unusually closely
contested one. This arises from the fact
that the South has been lost to the Re-
publicans, the negroes Valuing their lives
more precious than the ballot. This throws
the contest entirely in the Northern States,
and virtually narrowed down in these to
New York, Indiana, New Jersey and Con.
nscticut, unless the prior State elections
should show large preponderence for one
or the other candidates as has been the
case, followed by a general stampede.
There has been one gratifying result in the
selection of candidates this year; the de-
termination to choose only men of high
personal character. No one has questioned
Gen. Garfelds private and domestic char
acter, urbanity of manners or ability as
leader in the affairs of State. AS mem
Der of society he has contracted none of
those habits that too unfortunately attach
to the lives of public men and mar what
would otherwise be useful life As a
public man he is the embodiment of the
principles of his party. In selecting q
man to oppose him it was felt incumbent
to choose one who could show like high
record in private as we'll as public life
The friends of Mr.. Bayard in this State for
this reason pressed his name with per-
sistency in the face of the charge that he
was too respectable man for the masses to
appreciate, but other considerations it is
said influenced the decision in the selec.
ton.
General Hancock, SO far as is at present
known, maintains a high character, and
as a brave soldier has never ceased to
have the thanks of those who loved the
Union, for the part he took in putting
down the Rebellion. lie is soldier and q
gentlemen, and ~ handsome a man q.
Gen. Winfield vas once taker
from the army and run for the office o
president. He has never been day out o
tho army and has no experience at all il
civil life. And in having no experience
he consequently has no record on any o
the affairs of State that were thought sucl
O requisite with many of the other con
tsstants. However exalted his virtues ant
pure his purposes he must thus be yer,
largely at the dictation of those who SUI
round him. As before stated, however,
is a credit to us as a nation and especiall
the parties who had the selection, that il
any event the next occupant of the Whit
House is to be likewise man of characte
who for personal conduct is not likely t
bring blush upon any lover of the RI

There is in Philadelphia
a clearinghouse that began
a good many years ago to
do a peculiar business. 1t
marked goods in plain fig
ures, and described them in
plain letters its prices were
absolute, its descriptions
were true. People had full
knowledge of what they
we're buying there, and yet
if afterward they we're sorry
they had bought, they could
go back the next day and
exchange for something else,
or, if they liked, get their
money back. 1t was a safe
place to get clothes it was
a safe place to leave money.
People liked that house.
1t grew, and grew, and
grew, until it became a
great house. To-day it is
the largest clearinghouse
anywhere F.; and it keeps up
the old practices: no secrets
about what its clothes are
made of, one price, and
the money back if the buy
er wants it. Of course, it
uses all grades of cloths
that are worth using, and
makes all grades of cloth
ing that are worth making;
for it serves all sorts of peo-
pie.
Those at all familiar with
Philadelphia already know
that we are speaking of
OAK HALL, the original of

Provement in ready-made

ing for its first object the

vantage there than any
