AFTER THE APAcAes.

Washington, Jan. PA telegram bearing
date Of Santa Fe, N. NJ, Jan. Is, was re-
ceived by the adjutant general to day stating
that Maj. Morrow, who is pursuing Viclo-
ria's band Of Apaches, was forced 10 20 into
Ojo Caliente from the San Mateo mountains
for %rations. The command had been in the
mountains without ra,lons for two days and
were fighting daily. In the last two days
fight Maj. Morrow captured one hundred
horses and mules. The Indians abandoned
large quantitie. of property stolen in M-xi.
co, bolts of calico, cotton cloths. etc. Maj
Morrow is reported as having punished the
Indians severely. 1t is Thought, judging
from the number, that the band is composed
Of ali the Indians who have been living in
Mexico. The mountains are spoken Of as
b, ing very rough. The loss of troops, oc.
casioned by horses becoming disabled. has
proven to be quite severe. Gen Sherman
has official information regarding the alieg
ed killing of Chief Victoria. He saya
however, he has no doub' it ia a fact.

Fargo's fire department, is minus an en-.
CINE, but after a few more fires they are 60

The Fargo Republican has received most
generous offers of aid from the best and

Tie residents of Grant Center, Grant

Fargo Times: Dakota is doomed to be
first in the race for settlers in the general
land Office report ending June 80, 1880
She was second in the land business of the
year ending June 30, 1879, and Kansas was
fret. The land disposed Of IN Kansas was
27S4,53s. In Dakota, 1,657,81l. Nebras.
ka was third. We believe Dakota will be
first this year, as Kansas is running short OF
lands, and Dakota is only getting her hand
in. The Fargo Office for the year 10 en-
teieu up 1,lVO,VVV acres, ana we are lnclln-
ed to think Sioux Falls will not be far
behind, and the other offices, Yanklon,
Springfield, Deadwood aud Bismarck will
swell the list to three million acres.
The Fargo Republican, after telling Of
the utter confusion and decentralization o.
things after the FIRE, very soon finds the

Lotteries.

I.uisIatiou upon the lottery question:
.e-m, TO be the most absorbing tnene !"
tho Nav Orleans dsilies Just now. MAT
Ter. Of vrea, moment are left without at
tentiop. while the Senate, the House sna
the daily papers discuss all sides OF inc
lottery question.
We are satisfied, from what we have oo'
served of legislation actually required
that there Is nothing that has been OF Is
likely to come up before either house tna'
has any jobbiug init except lottery o'''s'
licensing of lotteries, &c. In other "ofus
il there are any members who can be IN
finenc.d by the use Of money, only from
proposed lottery companies would come
any attempt TO exercise any such lnnu-
ence. All other measures must staha on
their own merits because they are for the
general good Of the State aud not 10 au-
vance private interests.
In view of these facts il looks q little
strange that lottery schemes take up 70
much time. We do not mean TO insinuate
that anybody is being bought. We only
think it singular and rather q coincidence
that 20 much prominence is being given to
those schemes that can best afford TO pay
for legislative action.
There is no doubt but that lotteries,
like all other gambling. from the game Of
poker mp or down TO the gigantic game Of
hazard ~ played on Wall street aud other
points where the kings Of finance congre-
gate, is demoralizing to some extent. Yet,
il may be said of it, that there is nothing
about il delusive. Every person who in
vests may see for himself the nature Of
the transaction in which he engages.
This being true, it seems singular that it
should create So much stir when the rigid
~ righteous are silent about worse things.
The constitution having legalized lot
teries in Louisiana, the supporters Of the
constitution of ls79 should in common de-
cency close their lips and have nothing to
say about demoraizing tendencies, great
swiudles, ruin to the State and everything
Of that kind. If they characterize the
system as demoralizing let them at the
same time submit To it and endeavor TO
remove its obnox ious features as far as
possible. While We might object to lot
trrics under some circumstances, we
would include under the same general Db-
lection many practices in which church
members and Others Of sternly moral pre-
tensions engage.
We are of those who voted for the con-
stitution of l-79 Having done so, we
will coutne ou.self to an endeavor to re.
move the worst of its features, and lie,
time determine the proprie,y Of abolishing
them entirely.
Claiborne guardian. [volume] (Homer, La.) 1877-188?, 1880-03-31
Hon. A. /. Atkins.

Some member of the Legislature, with
more venom and malice than knowledge
or bravery, has sent to the GUARDIAN,
through the post-ofiice, several abusive
sentences with reference to Hon. A. l.. At
| kins. When we state that the abuse is
written on the margin Of a newspaper, 10
pencil, was enclosed nnder q one cent
wrapper, and that the person doing all
this signed no nnne, gave no hint as to
himself only appending TO the charges
the two words, "A Member" our readers
may understand how completely lost we
are IA TO the paternity Of all these cqss
words and foul abuse. II really makes no
material difference, we presume. The par
IS may have been some supplemented,
timd man, wrought into a white heat of
anger because, through the instrumentality
of Mr.. Atkins, some pet scheme was de-
f~ated. But anonymous letters are always
contemptihle-and never more 50 than
when they are directed against n public
man for the discharge Of u public duty.
Ii such man have any brains he expects
criticism for his public acts, and he has
no dislike for the man who critcises, and
only All ignorant, mean mind will pass
opinion upon these acts in an anonymous
manner.
This member who is ashamed Of his
name declares that il an extra session is
called that Claiborne parish will be re-
sponsibe for it for having sent to the Leg
islnture such - here several hard
words are used ard applied to Mr.. Atkins,
IA the party who has obstructed the wheels
of legislation.
Now, it seems that these very acts, for
which Mr.. Atkins is condemned by this
member. were praised by the New Orleans
Democrat, and thus a Member" has high
authority against his abusive view Of the
case
The whole truth seems 10 be, from all
that We can CLEAN from our city exchanges.
that a majority Of the members desired to
pass measure to which Mr.. Atkins and
other very worthy gentlemen were oppos
ed. They were. we must presume, con
sci"ntious in their views, and being out
numbered, they used the only weapon ever
allowed to a minority, that il the right to
tillbuster. They accomplished the end
they lahorcd for. "A Member" was out
wittcd, and he takes cowardly revenge
bv endeavoring to injnre Mr.. Atkins at
home. Hence this letter-this anoymou,
abuse. We see nothing in the action Of
Mr.. Atkins to condemn. He acted as he
Thought best and we admire his courage in
boarding an insolcnt majority. If ~
Member" wants MS to notice his charges
against Mr. Atkins let him aftix his name
to them.
