Exposure of a Lumber Ring.

ST. LOUIS Feb. 2S.-Advices from Texas
say that Commissioner Walsh has discovered
a big scheme on the part of Wisconsin and
Michigan lumber and mill men 10 acquire
several million acres of fine lands in Eastern
Texas. They employed lawyers 10 have the
lands surveyed and obtain information re-
garding them, and offered to purchase all
the lands at 81 per acre. Some of the law
yers engaged formed a smaller syndicate, and
offered S1-50 an acre tor part of the lands.
This exposed the big scheme of the North
ern men, which was, as soon as they secured
the land, to stop getting out lumber, to
gauge the amount in such a way as to ad
vance the prices greatly and realize immense
profits Both propositions were rejected by
the Land Commissioners, and Governor Rom
erts will recommend to the next Legislature
that provisions be made for selling to actual
mill men the timber ON the stump and re-
serve the land TO the State.

Mr.. CYRUS w. FIELD. New York mill
ionaire, an American by birth, but an Eng
Iishman in so many regards that great
many people think he ought to be sub
ject of Victoria, conceived the idea that il
would be agreeable to English aristocracy
and ROYALTY to build on American soil q
monument to Major Andre, the spy, who
engaged with the traitor Arnold, to over
whelm Washington with defeat and make
the American revolution something far
more to be deplored than failure. An
opportunity offered for Mr.. Field to carry
out his purpose with eclat. Dean Stanley,
a representative of England's Church arts
tocracy, visited the United States. He was
the guest of Cyrus w. Field. Together they
visited the place where Arnold concocted
his treason--and where Andre was arrested
in his Highland then and there the
arrangement was made. Field was 10 furn-
ish the money to erect the monument to
the British spy, and Stanley was to write
the inscription to be engraven on it. In
due time the shaft was completed and placed
in position A few days ago some indig-
nant American visited the out of the way
locality, defaced the monument, and above
it flung out the stars and stripes, with the
following lines written below them:
Too long hath stood the traitors shaft,
A monument to shame.
Built To praise a traitors craft,
To sanctify i'll fame.
Are freemen bound to still f0rbear
And meekly still implore,
When conquered foes their affairs rear
Within our very door?
This vulgar and insulting stone
Would honor for ell time,
Not sneaking Andres death alone,
But black Ben ArnOld's crime.
And they who thus can glorify
The trIitor aud his deeds,
Them selves high treason would employ
If 'tEould fulhll their needs.
Americans! resolve. proclaim,
That in Our own dear land
Never, while the people reign,
shall tTeasOn's statue Stand
And he who does erect IL next
On fair Coiumbia's breast,
With fulsOme or with false pretext,
Shall dangle from its crest.
As matter Of course Mr.. Cyrus w. Field
is as mad as March hare because his mon
ument has been defaced. He will pay q
large reward for the apprehension of the
man who desecrsted the spy's monument
and thereby insulted England. The whole
Andre monument business was in bad taste.
The spy was hanged by the order of Wash
ington. Arnold, the traitor, became aterror
to the people along the New England coast,
where he burned cities and murdered the
inhabitants. The names of Arnold and
Andre are irrevocably linked together and
M monument Should stand on American
soil designed to perpetuate their memory.
