Denison HerdLd-NeaoS: "a report

Colbert, in particular, ruled at the

that b. F. Overton was no longer
governor of the Chickasaw nation,
and he refused to recognize a DIR.

A MONUMENT is to be erected in

A MONUMENT is to be erected in
South Carolina, commemorative OF
the deliverance of that state from
carpet-bag rule. The Charleston
Meas and Courier says;
"a column which so commence
rates the deliverance of the state
from misrule will also hand down
to posterity the name of Wade
Hampton, under whose leadership
the deliverance of South Carolina
was accomplished and by whose
wisdom the fruits of victory were
peacefully secQred.o
That is very prettily said, and no
objection should be urged to the
plan; but, is there not something
sad in the reflection that the same
victory" which delivered" South
Carolina swindled Tilden out OF
the presidency and perpetuated
Radicalism in the national govern
ment?

the murderers of the late Gar. 1t

These lands are no better, even If
they are as good, as the grazing
lands of western Texas. They are
very similar to them in topography
but the grasses are probably not so
rich as our Texas grasses. Why
then should the wild lands
Of Buenos Ayres sell, three
years ago, to Englishmen for
three or four times as much
as is now asked for the graz
ing lands of Western Texas. There
is vast amount of unoccupied land
there as well as in Texas, and extra
efforts should be made by Texas
land owners to convince investors
that they may place money more
profitably here than in South Amer
lea.

ABOUT the time of the Louisiana
fraud by the electoral commission,
Senator Conkling had long talk
with the Hon. Lewis Lawrence, of
Utica, who gives, according to the

count of what took place:

room silently smoking while Conk-
ling walked up and down like a rag

Lawrence, ! can't keep company
with this riff-raff any longer. They
are rotten with corruption, and, af-
ter having taken everything else,
they are bound to steal the presi-
dency. Sherman reeks with plum

roller. Stanley Matthews would
sell his soul for office. AS for Hayes,
he is simply piOus sneak, ready to
give money to be president, and to

cratic party, and he saidi Let it
drive; there are more gentlemen
and fewer hogs than with u.s. These
were just his words" -.
1t is even probable, had there not
been a lot of Democratic sneaks in
congress who were afraid really to
claim their own souls, that Conkling
and few others would have assisted
in making the fight. 1T was known
then that he was opposed to the Re-
publican plan, but the willingness of
Tilden and of Democratic congress
