is called to notice of

Attention is called to notice of
special rates of The REPUBLICAN during
the campaign of 1880, which will be
found at the head of our editorial col
umns. For the small sum of % cents
we will send our paper from the LIST of
September till the Sd of November,
which includes the next issue after the
election, postage paid. We trust our re-
publican friends will show this offer to
their neighbors and friends and induce
them to try The REPUBLICAN for the
time specified at least. THE REPUBLICAN
gives about 40 columns of choice reading
matter each week and is worth more than
double the amount asked for it during
the campaign.

SOMEBODY has been gett ing up de-
scription of the proposed court of Ulys-
ses l., conveying his picture of it by
means. of a clever statement from the
Court Journal of September, 1882, the
Imperial Standard, and the Army and
Nary Ne,rs, all published at Washing
ton. Senator Cameron figures as the
Duke of Pennsylvania, while his dad is
in as Earl of Susluehanna, attached to
the court as Earl Marshal. All the
GRANTEES receive heavy promotion,
though our friend G.. W. Childs is badly
treated in getting no higher elevation
than that of Lord st. Ledger, while Col.
Forney is still more shabbily used in get
ting no sort of title and being hung upon
expectations, of which the gallant
colonel has had surfeit in his life. The
author of the brochure rather rushes
things. in getting the imperial fam
lily seated in so short period as two
years from date, with Beauregard
in command of the imperial army
of the South, and Malone, Duke of
the Blue RIDGE running the military
machine in the West, with all the red
hot rebels, such as Tommy Mast and
Denis Kearney, hung, the New York
Sun suspended and Dana in hiding, and
not head anywhere showing in oppo-
sition to the dynasty. When tits done,
twill hardly he so quickly finished.

The Republican senatorial orators
seem to be intending to make capital for
Grant out of the Porter case, though it
serves hardly better than any other for
them to hang their.eulogies of Grant upon.
The ex-president has nothing more to do
with the Porter matter than is to be
found in the fact that, as prcsi-
dent, he denied MIN the justice which
he asks. He may be put down as
adverse to POrter's reinstatement. There
he stands along with Sherman, no doubt,
and the action Of the Senate in the mat
ter, il it restore Porter, will measurably
he a rebuke to him. But public opinion
has already given this rebuke, since public
sentiment is clearly with Porter. The re-
port Of the unbiased military commission
has been generally accepted: and it's CON
clusion was that Porter had done all that
a good general should have done, that
his construction Of Pope's orders was in
telligent and his action prompt and wise.
Instead of the censure that he received
he was entitled to the loudest praise; and
that for SO many years man so deserv-
ing has been living under condemnation
so unmerited, seems so striking that
the popular sentiment runs strongly tow
ards Porter and in favor of speedy justice
being done him.

CAPE COD CANAL.
The First Work of an Enterprise Planne
Two Hundred Years Ago,

The First Work of an Enterprise Planned
Two Hundred Years Ago
The project of ship canal across the
neck of Cape Cod to connect the waters OF
Buzzard's bay with those on the north side
Of the cape, has been before the
public for more than two hundred years,
mention thereof having been made by
Samuel Sewall in 1876, and a committee
of the general court appointed in 1897
to investigate the subject. 1t was not
until 1870, however, that any definite steps
were taken. In that year the Massa-
chusetts Legislature granted charter to
the Cape Cod ship canal company, and
some years later the charter was renewed.
This renewal would have expired yester-
day if no work had been begun on the
canal, but the company, as an earnest of
its intentions and to save it's franchise, set
a gang of men to work last Thursday, and
the work of excavation was begun about
midway between the two bays.
The authorized capital of the company
is 81, 600, 600. The estimated cost of the
work is 50, 500, 600, and under the present
charter it must be completed within three
years.
The canal will have 81 feet of water at
high tide at its northeastern entrance, %
feet at its southwestern or Buzzard's bay
mouth, and minimum depth Of 18 feet
its entire length. The projectors of the
enterprise believe that the action of the
current will keep not only the canal itself,
but the harbors at either mouth, sufficient
ly clear of ice to prevent any serious incon-
venience to vessels.

A Swimmers Peril.

Thomas Coyle, now laborer in Roach's
ship yards at Chester, Pa, who will be re-
membered by the sporting world as the op-
ponent of johnson, the English swimmer,
in the race ON the Delaware, from Chester
to Gloucester, August "A, 1875, and for
his various swimming exploits, boast
ed recently that he would enter the
river in March and swim a distance
of two miles without injury. The feat was
set down for last Saturday, and at half
past five, amid large crowd of people
who had collected at tin ship yards to
witness it, COyle entered the water. The
course was to be up the Delaware to
Chester creek and thence up stream to the
Beal house. COyle started out evidently
in good trim, but before he had been in
eighteen minutes signs of exhaustion and
cramps indicated that he would not be able
to hold out. His condition soon became SO
alarming that he was picked up and con-
veyed to the Beal house, where he remained
in an insensible and precarious condition
until three o'clock yesterday morning. He
was then taken to his house, where he is
still lying in critical state. Coyle is
about forty-three years of age.

THE Harrisburg Patriot gives its ver-
sion of the confirmation of Marshal
Kerns, which we republish for what it
is worth. We are assured that Speaker
Randall was opposed, to the last, to the
confirmation of Kerns, and exerted all
the influence he had against it. 1t is not
so manifest, however, that he has as
much influence with the Democratic
members of the Senate J judiciary COM
mittee as any public man in Washington.
The Senate is very close corporation :
it's members have more influence with
each other than anybody else. The ju-
dietary committee first. checked kerns's S

A Mystery of a skeleton.


A few days ago while William A. Som
ers and James C. Percell were cutting
wood on the Shawangunk mountains about
ten miles from Ali gerville, N. Y, they
discovered pair of boots projecting from
beneath a lot of old leaves. A little further
on they discovered the lower portion of a
human skeleton, and beside it a single
bladed rusty jack-knife and pair of spec
tacles. The boots were coarse and heavy,
usually worn by laborers. There was no
clue to the mystery, as no one had been
missing from the vicinity in a number of
years.
An inquest was held before Justice
Harndon, but nothing was elected to
identify the remains. About twelve years
ago strange colored man, partly de-
ranged, appeared in the neighborhood and
declared that the mountain was full of
gold, which he intended to get. He started
up the mountain, and was never afterwards
seen. About that time Calvin Rayner was
in the region Of "The Traps" not far
from where the skeleton was found, in an
intoxicated condition. He started off with
some clothing in his possession for a
place named Mohunk. The bundles were
afterward found by Hiram Van Lennen
while out hunting, but nothing has since
been seen of Rayner.

laws an passed by Congress, this title to
remain inalienable, and the lands not tax
able for Is years.
Second. That so soon as the consent of
the several tribes of the Ute nation shall
have been obtained to this agreement, the
annuities heretofore provided for by
Congress. amounting at this time
to go, 600, will be paid to the Indians in
cash. and as much more will be added as
Congress shall appropriate. This annuity
is to be paid in cash at the request Of the
Indians, the president having the discretion
to pay it in cash or stock, wagons and az
ricultural Implements &c. The latter are
to be furnished the Indians, as now pro-
vided for elsewhere, sufficient for their
reasonable wants, also such saw and grist
mill as may be necessary to enable them to
commence farming operations as soon rs
their settlement is effected. A commission
is to be appointed to superintend the set
tlement and to attend to the carrying out
of this agreement, and the money apprO-
priated by Congress for this purpose shall
be appropriated as follows One-third to
those who settle ON the La Plata river,
One-half to those on Grand river and one
sixth to those gOin to the Uintah reserva-
tion.
Third. In addition, as pay for their land.
the Utes are to receive an annuityOf $50. 900.
to be distributed among them per capita.
and their present annuity of sa5, 900 is to
be continued. The support Of the Utes
until they they can become self-support-
ing and the education of their children is
provided for.
The secretary says that this is the first
time q settlement of Indians has been made
without assigning to them formal reser-
vation in the old way. Instead of that,
these Indians will be settled to all intents
and purposes like other people. The Ute.
chiefs are all confident that the agreement
will be ratified by their people.
