MILWAUKEE, March San old tragedy has
just been unearthed at Ahnapec. Wis. In 1873
John Gocttinger's remains were found burned
in his house. He was worthy German. A
young man named Jacob Razina now comes
forward and testifies as follows: "The last
time saw Goettinger alive was in Blahonok's
meadow, on Saturday evening, July 90, 1878,
about or o'clock. There was present at
that time Mrs. Blahenok Mrs. Goettinger, Miss
Goettinger and myself. Just before this Bla-

Return of the FOXES .

In noting the return of the Vokes Family
the N. Y Herald says: The lannon's Vokes
Family appeared last evening in the Union
Square Theater in their familiar medley of
nonsense, "Belles of the Kitchen" and were
welcomed back by large audience. Miss Ro-
sina Vokes' place was admirably supplied by
Miss Bessie Samson. Miss Samson comes as
near Rosina as can be, and as a restless hoy
den, who is always laughing, and never out OF
humor, she was success. The four Vokeses
who are still in the company, Fred, Fawdon,
Victoria and Jessie, are as clever and as cease
lessIy entertaining as ever. If any differ ence.in
them IS noticeable IT is only such as is insep-
cradle from several years of absence, and
their resources of amusement and capacity
for entertaining are the same. The fact that
their peculiar style of entertainment has been
copied far and wide and that the less light
headed part of the public has become disgust
ed with the perpetual succession Of trash with
which it is inflicted, serves to rob this sort Of
performance of its novelty, and those who are
already familiar with the Vokeses and their
fun will miss the sensation of novelty which
entered so largely into the charm which they
formerly exerted. But no other company has
approached them, and they still stand so far
ahead of everything else of the sort that they
are still a novelty and revelation to those
who have never seen them.

Protecting Settlers on Public Lands.

WASHINGTON, March S.-Vanwck intro
duced a bill In the senate to-day, entitled, "a
bill to settle and confirm the titles of pur-
chasers, pre-em ptors or settlers, on the public
domain" lis principal feature is to direct
the attorney general to appear and defend the
title of a purchaser, pre-emptor or settler,
whenever any railroad or other corporation
claims the same land under any land grant of
of the United States to said corporation. It
provides that he shall appeal the case to the
supreme court if necessary to settle the title,
without regard to value of property or resi-
dence of the parties in interest, and also that
all proceedings and executions shall be stayed
except in test suit.
The bill has grown out of Investigations
into the proceedings of the assiguees of the
Denver 81 st. Joseph Railroad company
against settlers in Nebraska, but its provisions
are broad enough to protect the same class of
persons in Kansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Michi
gan and territories where the land grant roads
are located. The members of the senate com
mittee on public lands are known to ha favor
able 10 the provisions of this bill, and it will
undoubtedly be favorably reported and urged
TO its passage by western senators.

WASHINGTON, March S.-Senator Saunders
of Nebraska, submitted to day joint resolu-
tion proposing an amendment to the constitu-
ton of the United States that will allow peO-
pie to elect all postmasters, internal revenue
officers, United States marshals and district
attorneys. Senator Saunders is a member of
the committee on civil service reform and he
says that after studying this subject carefully,
he is satisfied that his resolution embodies re-
form in its most practical shape. He claims
that to make these officers elective by the PEG.
pie would relieve the president of much of the
annoyance and veXation that now attaches to
his office and be a great relief to members of
congress. He says that half the time of con-
gressmer is occupied in attending TO the dis
tribution OF federal offices, and the president
complains that the duty of filling petty offices
of the government imposes the heaviest bur-
den on him. MIR. Saunders thinks this can be
remedied by giving the people the power to
choose their own officers, and if they make any
mistakes they will soon rectify them. The
senator will call up the resolution at the first
opportunity and make some remarks in its
favor.
