Infamous Jobs ON Hand.
l0x8"Ol
American.

An infamous job at the expense Of the
Indians is still on the carpet in Colorado
and another is proposed in Minnesota. The
lands of the Utes in the former state have
been seized in large quantities by white
squatters and the state government, in
stead of asking how it may restore these
lands to their proper owners, is occupied
with plans to get their owners to abdicate
their rights to the squatters. In Northern
Minnesota and Dakota. the Dakotas still
hold possession of valuable forest lands,
of which a bill now before Congress seeks
to dispossess them. They are to be
crowded into tho White Earth reserva-
tion, in Minnesota, and the lands sold off
by auction for their benefit, whether they
wish it or not. And the people of the
neighborhood charge that the bill is SO
drawn as to enable ring Of capitalists,
through this sudden and unreserved sale,
to get possession. Of the pine lands of
these reservations at mere fraction of
their value.

As will be seen BY N advertisement else
where the city fish dealers have established
a fish market at the corner of Water and
Orange streets, where until the city coun.

wanting fish will therefore be sure to find
them at Water and Orange streets.

THE LEAF.
Our Local Tobacco Trace.

The market has been comparativel,
quiet during the past week. A few buyer
are still in the field picking up such lott
as they can find. They say there is ye
plenty of tobacco in this county-fron
5000 to 10000 cases-in the hands d
growers, but the most Of it is short anG
inferior, and not worth more than from
to s cents per pound.
Several dealers from abroad, who have
packed largely in this city, have completed
their packing, closed their warehouses and
gone home, and will not return until
sampling time, unless some unforeseen
event calls them back.
About 200 cases of old tobacco were sold
last week on private terms. The most 40
tive inquiry has been for filters and other
low grade goods.
One of our heavy Lancaster packers has
returned from New York state, wherc he
packed and shipped to New York city !, ,0O(
cases of New York leaf.
Our cigar manufacturers complain o
dull times which they charge to the con.
tinued agitation in Congress Of the ques
tion of repeal or modification Of the to
bacco tax.
Very little has yet been done by farmers
in furtherance of the new crop, the weather
having been rather unpropitiOus. The
young plants were coming on very we'll uI
to tho end of last week, but the snowstOrm
of Monday and the heavy frost Of last night
have no doubt frozen many of them. For.
tunately great proportion of the seed
beds are not far enough advanced to be in
jured by the cold.
During the last week the trade In leai
has been rather slow in the lower end
owing to the very small quantity still in
the hands of the growers. Some buyers
are still out, but the drives are too long
for the goods gathered in. Yet plenty of
tobacco that has been condemned on 40
count Of white vein, shortness and every
other complaint, has been during the last
three weeks taken at full rates. One crop
of two acres had been hauled to Lancas-
ter early this season the grower was paid
to take it home again !; it was taken back
again last week for more money than it
was sold for before. Of course such oc-
currences are not often, but they go very
far to make farmers have little confidence
in the judgment of buyers.
Among the sales this week we notice
VIM. Phillips, Colerain, 2 acres to Lovitt
of Oxford, At IL, 1858.
VIM. Wilson, acre to shultE private
terms.
Henry Miner, Providence, to L. T. Hensel
/ 4cre at Is, 8, So.
VIM. McMichael, Of Eden, to Phenegar
l acre hail cut, n through.
Aaron Wade, to Hostetter, 3 acres hail

Strasburg at 4 through.
Geo ScotA- to the sama at A thronob
John Demsey, to same at 81.
Michael Scott, to Same at 93 for all but
filters filters 8 cents.
N. Pickel, same, 10 and s.
Several farmers arc casing preferling 1t
to selling at less prices than their neigh
bors got early in the season.

The sentimental" Republican papers
and the. church conventions which are
indulging in expressions of gratitude for
the veto of the anti-Chinese bill, all
proceed upon the assumption that the
president has somehow indicated his op-
position to any restriction upon Chinese
immigration. He has done no such
thing. In accordance With the last Re-
publican national platform he has de-
clared himself in favor of a limit to that
evil Of great magnitude" >" and refer
ence to the famous Morey letter will
show that even Garfield put himself on
the record substantially in favor Of re-
strictive and exclusive legislation. That
famous letter was as follows:
I take it that the question of employees
is only question of private and corporate
economy, and individuals or companies
have the right to buy labor where they can
get it cheapest. We have treaty with
the Chinese government which should he
religiously kept until it's provisions are
abrogated by the action of the general
government, and am not prepared to say
that it should be abrogated until our great
manufacturing interests are conserved in
the matter Of labor.
In Garfield s reply to Chairman Jewell,
denouncing the Morey letter as forgery,
he said, g its stupid and brutal sentl-
ments never expressed or entertained" "
Now what were its stupid and brutal'
sentiments in the estimation of Mr..
Garfeld's 3 party?

TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL ii, lssa
We Wait for his Answer.

we wait l0f MS answer
As the editorial tripod of the E1ans-
iner is a red-hot" seat nowadays, its
editor may be excused for habitually and
persistently misquotipg and garbling the
opinions of the INTELL1GENcER. What
we have said was that in a controversy
between our Republican contemporaries
I" the sur-rejoinder of the Ne,c Era is
that the main issue in that campaignwas
that the editor of the Examiner had BE-
trayed his constituents, violated his
instructions and served . corrupt com.
bination for a corrupt consideration" +"
Since it seems to have escaped the notice
of the Examiner that the NeU Era al
legged this, we reproduce from its col
umns the renewed allegation concerning
which we are curious to hear what the
editor Of the Examiner has to say.
According to the published biography
of the editor Of the Examiner he was
elected to the state Senate in 1860.
"Those old enough to remember the cir
cumstances all know" that he was
elected on an anti-corporation, anti.
tonnage-tax-repeal issue, and that his
constituents were opposed to that re-
peal that the convention which nomi'
mated him resolved, "that the candi-
dates of the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives, settled by this convention, if
elected, are hereby instructed to vote
against all motions in any way favoring
a repeal of the tonnage tax" that & it
was on that issue he defeated Gen.
Sheaffer for denomination to the Senate,
the general being at that time the solici-
tor Of the company"
Nevertheless, in language as plain as
could he made, the E1press of 1851
charged that Hiestand betrayed his
constituents, violated his instructions
and served a corrupt combination for a
corrupt consideration" It said: "a
certain ring was formed at Harris
barg last winter which had the control
of certain corporate legislation in which
the members of said ring were deeply in
terested. OF course, a senator of our
friend Hiestand's we'll known energy of
character would be in a ring upon the
successful workings of which such mo-
mentous interests were suspended as the
repeal of the tonnage tax and the pas
sage of the Sunbury and Erie bill" 1t
said, too, that " for the support of these
measures " the sum paid to d" each SEN
ator - was $1,000 except those who
violated the instructions of their con.
stituents - who got an extra 81 900 :;
and the Ne,o Era, in republishing these
serious charges, says the accused have
never accepted the challenge to vindicate
themselves.
Whether from not having been out of
its swaddling clothes !" at that time,
or not being old enough to remember
the circumstances" or for other reasons,
the INTELLIGENCER has not expressed
any opinion about the truth of these
charges, save that it would rather not
believe them.
All the same, it would be glad to hear
the Examiners denial Of them.

Dropping the Mask.

The Virginia Readjusters, through
their newspapers and other political or
gans, announce that they have gone over,
body and breeches, not only to the Repub-
ican party but 10 the raladministra-
tion and that their new gerrymander-
ing apportionment bill is designed to
elect eight congressman out of ten
in Virginia who shall be committed and
pledged to support President Arthur and
his administration. Malone announces
as his shibboleth that hereafter
men in Virginia "must he friends or
enemies of President Arthur" And,
according to Riddleberger, &" Readjuster
Republicans and Readjuster Democrats
should hereafter he administration men. -
This classification of the two parties
will last as long as the administration
approves the objects of the liberal party
in Virginia, and shows its approval by
confidence and assistance. The help al
ready given will probably be continued
II the administration can be shown
that its confidence is returned. -
From the freebOOters who, make up
the Mahone-Repudiation party moth ing
less than this ultimate throwing off all
disguise could have been expected.
Every pretence of state reform is now
seen to have been fraud. Democrats
who cannot be carried over to the Re
publican party are now expected to leave
the Readjuster ranks, and Republicans
who do not like to hear the crack of
Mahone's whip may quit their old organ
ization. He is in supreme command of
the organization and the patronage in
Virginia. Between him and Arthur
there is a reciprocal" relation, and the
people of the whole country are invited
to contemplate the spectacle of their
national administration yoked up with
the repudiationists Of Virginia and df.
viding the spoils.

Judge Advocate General SWAIN is not
yet sixty-two years old, 20 that the World
thinks he will have to be retired by some
other means than through the proposed
law of which General Sherman is the
prospective target. The Albany Laso Jour-
nal fairly flays the judge advocate general
and cites English and American cases By
the dozen to illustrate its text that 'the
judge advocate general has suffered his
prejudices and emotions to run away with
his legal judgment" in the Mason case,
and that he " has wrested his quotations
from DR.. Wharton from their context.
That learned author nowhere lays down
such a preposterous doctrine as the judge
advocate general seeks to imply, but his
citations and his conclusions are all to the
contrary"

THE World calls attention to the graf
flying and significant fact that by far a
majority of the emigrants now teeming
towards America, in greater numbers
than ever, are able-bodied men who
come here with the certainty that their
labor, being productive and necessary,
will be rewarded and that most of them
bring with them more or less capital,
which is, however, scarcely worth reck-
oning compared with the advantages of
their skilled labor to a country with the
grand capabilities afforded by the United
States. The objective point of our immi-
grant industry is almost entirely the de-
velopment of our agricultural resources,
and in that aspect it is to be most cordially
welcomed. Agriculture is the basis of
our wealth and permanent prosperity. In
it there can be no dangerous competition,
no disastrous over production. It is the
independent, self-supporting pursuit of
man. The difference between the immi-
grants who come in at our Eastern gates
and those who are to be excluded at
the Western, is that the latter bring
nothing into this country, and the former
take nothing out of it.
