CONGRESS IS now considering a joint
resolution declaring the Utes public enc
mics, and their lands forfeited unless they
deliver up to the government authorities
the Indians engaged in the late massacres
at the White River and Milk Greek
agencies within thirty days, 1t is be-
ieved it will pass. 1t is not expected by
this resolution to procure the murderers,
but to have pretext to clear the Utes
out of Colorado, where it is feared trouble
with the miners will occur this summer
if they remain roaming at will over their
reservation.

The ST.. LOUIS Post and Dispatch has
undertaken to discover the preferences
of the Missouri delegates chosen to go to
Cincinnati, and sets them down as nine
for Tilden and twenty-one antl-lilden.
The Republican tells another story, CIV
inc nineteen, at least, of the delegates to
Samuel, six or seven to Morrison, OF IL
linois, dividing the rest between Seymour
and Hancock. The Times gives Illden
twelve, but does not classify the opposi-
ton to him.

Saws THE Chicago .JOTTRNAJ,

SAYS The CHICAGO JOURNAL: An
indirect way has been hit upon by this
confederate congress for pensioning rebels
of note. 1t is to purchase from them or
their heirs their private military papers
on the plea that they are important his
torical data. The house proposes to in
sert in the sundry civil bill now pending
provision for procuring the papers OF
the Polk family. There is certainly nc
more reason, so far as the debate showed,
for buying those documents than the
kindred scraps and documents of hun
dreds of other families, either north OF
south. 1t is useless, however, to argue
such a point. The south only needs tc
have the presidency to drain the treasury
in the interest of impoverished rebeldom
The Polk spigot is nothing to the bung
hole they would then bore"

SAYS The PROVIDENCE JOURNAL !:
"The nomination at Chicago made-and
herein we discard the consideration as
to whom the nominee will be-the repub-
lican party will consolidate, strengthen,
and increase this we argue not upon
party grounds but on general principles.
Up to that time the action of the party,
though not subordinate to, is complicated
by personal preferences, prejudices and
aspirations. Thereafter the only ques-
ton will be not simply one of principle,
but of the gravest consequence. 1t will
come home squarely to the patriotic voter
whether the cause of union and liberty
shall prevail or not"

THE DEMOCRAT continues to boom for
Tilden. But the old nan is having a
hard time of it in the 6 lection of dele
gates, most of whom are uninstructed,
and whose votes will be cast in conven-
ton according to circumstances. The
!" circumstance" are in Tilden's barrel,
and it depends entirely upon what dis
position is made of them, whether or not
Tilden shall be nominated. The longest
pole will take the persimmons Mean
while The Democrat is anxious that it
may be on the winning side and is sound
ing Tilden's praises the best it knows
how.

THERE WILL BE two contests for seats
In the national convention, ten of the
districts in Illinois, and the state OF
Louisiana sending double delegations.
Considerable time will necessarily be oc-
cupied in the settlement of the questions
which will have to be passed upon. No
ballotting will probably be had before
Thursday, and nomination may not be
made even upon that day. There is
every indication of protracted conven-
ton, but we hope its proceedings will be
harmonious and satisfactory.

THE MIL VA UKEE TREASUR-
ERSHIP.

The supreme. court on Thursday deliv-
cred an opinion in the case of Geilfuss
VS.. TRIUMPH, sustaining the claim of the
former to the office of Treasurer of Mil
wauke county. After reciting the
grounds of the action, which are in the
nature of quo WorTanto, and the fact
that the plaintiff father had declared an
intention to become citizen of the Unit
ed States, and that the appellant himself
was admitted to citizenship on the 21st
day of April, 1880, in the Milwaukee
municipal court, and took his oath of of
fee of treasurer of Milwaukee county,
and that the common council accepted
his bonds, and on the twenty third day
of April Geilfuss demanded his Office
from TRIUMPH, which was refused the
complaint asked the circuit court to COM
pei TRIUMPH to vacate the office. This
was refused, and an appeal taken to the
Supreme Court. The opinion, which
was given by Justice Lyon, recites the
facts in the case, and holds that Geilfuss
had under the city charter, ten days in
which to qualify after he was notified of
his election, and that he did SO qualify
by filing his official bond, and that there
fore he is entitled to the Office. In the
matter of the validity of the election, the
court quotes the opinion given in the case

THE .BAYARD election supervisors bill
has passed the senate by strictly party
vote. It defines the terms of the chief
supervisors of election, and its principal
object will be to GUST the energetic and
efficient squelcher of democratic attempts
at election frauds in New York city
"Johnny" Davenport the United States
supervisor of elections at New York.
The tomahawk that is intended to give
Mr.. Davenport his quietus is contained
in the following proyiso: "That no
person now holding or who has held the
office of chief supervisor of elections
shall be reappointed. The discussion
of the use of tissue ballots III South
Carolina proved very enlivening for q
time, and the republicans were accused
of haunting the bloody shirt and digging
ND a miserable. old report on southern
,outrages."

Hon. p. B. S. PINCHBACK, of Louisi-
ana, says that Gen. Grant, if nominated,
will carry Louisiana, Florida, South
Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, and
possibly Alabama. But nobody be-
lieyes-not even Mr. Pinchback-that
the electoral vote of either of the states
named would be counted for the repub-
lican candidates even though it were
cast for them. Republicans may as well
make their calculations accordingly and
bend all their energies to carrying enough
states III the north to achieve success il
they expect to win. The democrats have
got the south and mean to keep it-by
fair means if they can by foul means il
they must.

CONGRESSMAN ACKLIN, Whe toisted
upon congress a bogus report from his
committee, is to be let down easy f; the
committee of investigation have reported
that Acklin had "no bad motive in max
ing his fictitious report, but it was the re-
suit of inadvertence and inexperience." >

such disreputable act as this, he would

The Amer' can Reprint of the En-
cyclOpediN britannica.

We wish to call the attention of the readers
and thinkers Of our city to this grand work. No
work of its kind stands higher in the estimation
of scholars than the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Its great cost was the only hindrance to its gene
raj use. American readers generally could not
afford to pay ten dollars per volume for twenty
one volumes. And until the work was reprinted
in the United States we were obliged to content
ourselves with it's possession in few of our lead
ing libraries.
The work is now furnished in the American Re-
print at about one half its original cost and per
feet in all its parts every word cut illustration,
map and plate being honestly and faithfully re-
produced.

COL E. B. GRAY, Agent for Reprint of ENcY-
CLoPlEDIA BRITANNICA,
DEAR SIR: The opportunity you have given
us to compare the three editions of the ninth is
sue Of the Encyclopedia Britannica-viz., the
"Original English Edition." the american Re-
print" by ]. NJ. Stoddart & Co., and what is call
ed the "Scribner-Hall Edition'-has enabled US
to discover the following facts:
l. The "Scribner- Hall Edition" is decidedly
inferior to the "Orignal" in the letter press pa
per and binding.
2. 1t does not give the full text of the English
Edition." and in some instances the omissions in
text are such a character as to teach error. Ess
pecially is this seen in the article Anatomy
3. The plates do not agree with the Original
most of them being smaller. These reductions
ar;I
ing the plates not being changed, correct idea
of the size of the plants (see article "Botanyo
cannot be obtained.
i. The marginal references in many instances,
are so bound into the backsof the volumes as to
render them quite useless
5. The maps vary from the Original" show
ing that they are not ''from the same" but from
quite Inferior plates Notably is this the case
in the maps of Cornwall and Cumberland in
which the fnelitse engraving showing elevations
is entirely omitted
g. So many serious defects occur in this 'Scrib-
ner-Hall Edition. that we do not hesitate to say
that the guaranty given that we are getting the
work both in letter-press and illustrations, like
the English edition." is not being carried out in
good faith In other words, we are not receiving
what we contracted for.
So far as we have examined the American
Reprint" published by J. NJ. Stoddart & Co., it
is a faithful reproduction in shbject-matter of
the original text, maps and plates. 1T is well
printed on excellent paper, is well bound, and is
in better form for the shelves and ordinary hand
ling than quarto.

A Waif From the Tay Bridge Disaster.

A strange but not altogether improb-
able story comes from Norway, where it
saw the light in the columns of the Nor
gen6tdd, a well-known local newspaper.
On the 18th of last month, as some fish
ermen were hauling their nets in one of
the tiords on the western coast, apparent
ly not far from Bergen, they sighted an
" extraordinary object" some distance
further out. Faneying at first that it
was new monster, they retired to a safe
distance. Finally, however, curiosity got
the better of them; they cautiously APP
preached the bobbing mystery, but only
to discover that it was railway car
riage, in a sadly smashed and dismantled
condition, with the following letters
painted on it, Edinburgh and Glasgow
Railway" From the fact that there was
portmanteau inside, containing clothes
marked ''P. b. it is supposed to have
been one of the relics of the Tay Bridge
disaster, separated from the other car
riages by the wrench to which the whole
train was subjected, and then flOated out
to sea with the ebbing tide. That the
waif may have drifted in a north-easterly
direction toward the nearest point of the
Norwegian coast is as little surprising as
the circumstance that in midwinter no
vessel happened to see it en- route. II
one wagon was so completely severed
from the others, we may now understand
how it is that the wreck of the train has
yielded such comparatively few memo
rials. The North Sea, and not the Firth
of Tay, has been the cemetery of the
victims. London telegraph. n
