ner of the Zunis, cultivate the ground,
own focks and herds, and are self
supporting. Their villages are built
on a high plateau. about forty miles

which rises in the midst Of sandy
and apparently sterile plain. Good
crops of corn, pumpkins, onions and
other vegetables, and fine peaches, are
raised around the base Of this plateau,

WHILE Gen. Grant was pushing the
rebels from the Tennessee and Cum
berland Rivers, early in the war, there
was an evident willingness on the part
of the American people to accredit to
him all the glory Of his achievements.
While other officers were debating
routes, and maturing plans for driving
the enemy from these rivers, Gen.
Grant, acting upon his own plan, drove
them away. After the war closed, ,
Gen. Sherman wrote book OF Me
moirs," in which he claims that Grant
IS entitled to no credit for this CAM
paign, and alleging that the plan be-
longed to Gen. Halleck. During an
interview last week Gen. Grant kills
this pretty little story Of the Me
moirs'' by the statement that he sent
the plan of the Donaldson campaign
to Gen. Halleck.

feels pretty comfortable over the way
things have turned out, inasmuch as
he Informed his party friends, at the

a campaign as they were inauguratlng
could but end in the election of the
Republican candidate.
1t is one of the mysteries of politics
that man Of Mr.. Stephens ability
will continue to act with such party

yet live to see that party do wise

The State Board of Equalization
met at Columbus and soon got into a
tangle. There were 19 Democrats and
1S Republicans, and the Auditor of
State, who is Republican, and a
member of the Board by provision of
the Statute, made it a tie. The Dem
1ocrats attempted to prevent the Audi
tor of State from taking part in the
organization, and for a time there was
an exciting time. The matter was
compromised, and the Offices were di-
vided. Charles C. James, of this place
got the appointment for Assistant
Sergeant-at-Arms.
The Board adjourned over to Jan
4, 1881, as the county Boards have
not yet all reported.
