For the past week our little town
has been much excited over a pos
sible error tn the survey of Wheeler
county, which error would put our
business center on the Government
leased lands. This matter should
be attended to at once. If the coun-
ty cannot afford to have its county
seat located in such a manner as to
insure its citizens that they can
build with safety, then it should be
done by private enterprise.
/ We recognized last week our old
friend, Johnnie Smoker" peram-
bulating our streets, also the editor
of the TRANSPORTER, who had an
4 eye to business, as | am informed
he secured quite subscription list.
We would recommend all who have
not subscribed to do SO at once and
secure good paper.
Oldham county failed to get an
organization. Why? Because, say
the Oldhamites, our honorable board
of County Commissioners were
afraid the female, as well as the
male population of Oldham county,
had signed the petion. We will have
to become more intimate with our
Mexican neighbors, for our knowl-
edge of Spanish is very limited.
Hoping you will give this space and
leave NE a little margin in your
next, | am your, CITIZEN.

The BOYS at the Cheyenne school

The boys at the Cheyenne school
are now dressed in uniform. Moth
ing more appropriate could be done !;
and the children take great pride in
wearing and taking care of these
new clothes. This system has work
ed advantageously in schools for
white children and there is every
reason to believe that even better re-
suits will follow with Indians. Ex-
perience has demonstrated that it is
too much to expsct children from
the camps to appreciate readily the
sombre, ill-ftting dress formerly u.s.
eel at the Indian schools.
MIR. Hadley and his assistants, at
the Cheyenne schools, have determ-
ined to hold socials every Monday
evening for the benefit of the Indian
children in their charge. The first
meeting of this kind was held on the
evening of the 18th inst. and proved
a very enjoyable affair and decid-
ed success. A number of games
were introduced in which the chill
dren took an active part. AT these
meetings nothing but English is
spoken, and powerful incentive is
given for the study of the language.
The plan is an excellent one and we
expect good results.

How to Abate the Dog Nuisance.
CANTON. MISS, FEB. Sd, 1880.


EDITORS CLARION "A bill is before the
Legislature intended to benefit sheep-rais-
ers by protecting their flocks from the raw
ages Of providing ours Sheep.growers will
welcome any law that will tend to suppress
these dreaded midnight marauders; but the
bill in its present form is open to several OBJ
jections, and fear will meet with serious if
not fatal opposition when it comes before
the Legislative bodies for final disposal.
Taxing dog will mott impair his fondness
for mutton. Muzzling will be considered an
oppressive exaction by every dog owner
who values that property sufficiently to pay
taxes thereon, and to have an animal capa-
Bile of as much service and affection as dog,
destroyed because he happens to get beyond
its masters eye, will not be tolerated by pub
lie sentiment. Again the tax will be evaded
by those who own the greater portion of

jority of the freedmen pay no taxes, and they
who own the most dogs have nothing of this

hand. Lastly the freedman is Just now par
ticularly jealous in regard to his rights, and
although some are of the opinion that the
South will be benefited by general exodus
of the negro race yet they who have fully
tried the substitutes will give a decided
preference to the blackskin. (The writer
speaks ex-cathedra on this subject). In
conclusion it would appear that all that
sheep-growers can at present ask of the Leg
isluture is, to gradually contract the dog
currency To do this and at the same time
allow freedmen and others to have as many

them, it is suggested that the Dog bill be
amended somewhat after this fashion,

The Presidential Outlook.

Gen. Grants nomination by the Re-
publicans may be considered foregone
conclusion. Three hundred and seven
ty-fve delegates will constitute major
ity of the Chicago Convention. Of that
number he has already virtually secur-
ed ITO, viz: from the States of Penn
sylvania, New York and Illinois. The
Southern Republicans are unquestiona-
bly, for him. A few office holders un-
der Mr.. Sherman may make pretence
Of supporting him, but their preference
is on the surface. Down at the bottom,
Grant is the man, because the Repub-
lican (colored) masses prefer him, and
the Republican leaders are shrewd
enough to know that his name will
arouse them to state of activity and
enthusiasm which they have not exhib-
tied since the carpet-bag saturnalia.
There will be 276 delegates from the
Southern States, these added to the
votes of Pennsylvania, New York and
Illinois, will give him II more than a
majority of the whole. But of course
there are numerous other votes in the
North, East and West that will be for
him, so that it may be assumed that his
nomination is as certain as any future
event can possibly be.
The Democrats must realize the stu
alton. The Republicans will be mar
shalled by their boldest, most popular
and most successful leader. Their par
ty managers are even now saying that
he will not permit himself to be count
ed out eff he receives a majority of the
votes legally cast" We know what
that means! 1t is inspired by the man
who as President, gathered the militia
ry in Washington City and pointed his
guns at the Capitol to terrorize Con-
gress in 1877.
Coming events cast their shadows be-
fore. The Democrats must close ranks
and be wise in the selection of their
leader. They will need man who has
the confidence of the, people and whose
election will give him moral influence
that will put to the blush the ad-
vocates of brute force, and secure him
the Presidency if it is justly won at the
polls.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.

WASHINGTON Feb. 2.
The following decidedly sensational story
appeared to-day in the Eevning Critic: SIN
circles, to which Clerks in several of the
| Government Departments of this city are
more or less closely connected, there is now
being whispered a story. the details of
which, II fully proved, will ruin the charac-
i ter of number of female Clerks in the
Treasury Department and one or two m en-
bers of Congress, particularly Senator from
the South.
1.-THE stories afloat link together the names
of this Senator and handsome young lady
of the Treasury, and the disclosure of their
intimacy and the peculiar circumstances
which brought it about are peculiarly inter-
esting; and if properly exposed, as certain
parties acquainted with the fact are now
making an effort to do, it will result disas-
trously for the social and political standing
of the parties more prominently interested.
The outline of the affair was placed in the
possession of . reporter of the Critic this
morning, who set out to secure all the facts
connected with the case, if possible, and sue
ceeded in getting pretty well connected
story, but none of the parties by whom the
information was given were willing to take
any responsibility.
"One gentleman, who is more than usu-
ally interested in the fate and good name of
one OI Tie lauleS llnpllcdCeu, desired CnaG
nothing of the affair be published at all, in
asmuch as he was endeavoring to take legal
steps in the matter and apprehended that
any publication now would injure his pro-
posed prosecution, as the parties possessing
the inside history of the case refuse to take
the responsibility of what they state
According to their stories, there is now
employed in the Treasury woman who.
under the guise of Clerk, is acting in the
capacity of procuress for disreputable
house on Eleventh street. To this house she
has enticed several of her sister Clerks and
once there they have been introduced to
members of Congress, and eventually fast
lives and ruin.
some of her latest victims is handsome
young lady, who was there introduced to
the Senator from the Southern State men,

would fall upon her if the matter were
known sealed her lips until few evenings
ago, when the truth was discovered bv a |
gentleman by whom she is much respected, |
and to whom she made complete confess |
sion. These are the particulars in SUBJ
stance, and it is more than probable that |
the whole story will be made public In a

The Fallacies of Sectional Agitators
Exploded.

The Senate Committee investigating
the cause OF the negro exodus is bringing
number of interesting facts to light.
1t appears from the testimony of color
ed men from North Carolina that MANY
Of the colored people are now farmers,
owning from one hundred to five hun
dred acres of land apiece. One negro
testified that he has acquired a proper
ty worth 5000 dollars. He thought in
dustrious and honest colored people had
no difficulty in getting good living in
his State. Another colored man, Mr..
W. W. Arlington, of Nash county,
who was slave in 1861, now owns
thousand acres ofland, and has the best
reason to be satisfied with the condi-
ton of his people, and the laws under
which they live. He has never seen
any discrimination on account of color.
Another colored man, who owns four
hundred and seventy-ive acres of land
near Goldsboro, rents portions of his
farm to white tenants. He says the
tenant laws are just and reasonable.
This may be accepted as a true state
ment of the opportunities and treat
ment of the negro in all the Southern
States since the Democratic party OBJ
tanned power.
