Mr.. Tilton Davis has signed quit
claim deed to any right or title he may
have in SO much of the LII. & G.road

provided said company builds upon the
road-bed by January 1884. He says he
wi endeavor to get Mr.Newman to do
the same thing. Messrs. Reid and
Waddell already having signed SINH
lar instrument there seems to be no
good reason why the work should not
go on. In letter received here, dated
Fort Scott, May 10, Judge Waters says
in al]uding to the title to the old road
ed;-''If that title can be perfected to
the satisfaction of our people soon we
shall give. you road, as soon as men
and money can make it. In the mean
time we commence on Monday morn
ing to permanently locate the line from
this point to Butler, and will follow it
up with active work. The failure TO
secure the old grade, will necessarily
cause us to make a change from Butler
north to where we strike the G.. 4 A.
Anything that we can do to carry out
the original plan of building to your
place will be done, and we hope that
the conflict of title may be settled be-
fore it is too late." So far as we can
see it is already practically settled. The
rights-of-way have been given to Judge
Waters road, and no one else intends
to claim the road or to interfere with
that company in the prosecution of its

nifcant of more than one thing, and of
nothing more forcibly than that the
leaders of the republican party have
no sort of intention of buryying
their hatchets. Mr.. Conkling
boldly says that the country
is preparing to give the democrats con:
troll of public affairs. Gen. Grant coin
eides in the opinion. President Arthur
in very plain terms tells the halfbreeds
that they must not assume to run the
party. Mr.. Curtis and the men who
helped swell the profound minority un-
der which Mr.. Folger was buried say
that the machine must remain broken,
and preach death to bossism, while
Conkling declares that boss is a man
who has brains and pluck enough
to become leader. Mr.. Blaine swells
like an excited toad when he hears the
names of Arthur or Grant; the Gamer
ons are sour, with old Simon already
conceding the defeat of the party. In
Virginia Dessendorf is pouring melted
lead down Mahone's back and into the
presidents boot leg; in Minnesota Mr..
Window, the biggest man they have,
sits sulking in his tent; in several states
the party is disintegrated; in Washing.

of the corruptness of many of the lead

party seems to be upon its last legs

The Harmony meetings recently held
by Republicans in New York, and so
zealously advocated by Mr.. Whitelaw
Reid, will be somewhat checked by the
red hot talk of the Washington City
National Republican. Several times
during the last few months the Repub-
lican which Is the organ of the admins
tration, has contained editorial para
graphs calling upon Whitelaw Reid to
make public what he knows OF the meth
cd adopted by some Of the Republican
managers in 1880 to raise s100, 900 fol-
campaign purposes. The organ Tuesday
contained very serious al egation. II
said: ssMr. Jake Reid, the alleged ed.
itor of his father-in-law's paper in New
York, is 80 busily engaged in writing
Washington dispatches to the Tribune
in regard to the names of post-ofices
that he cannot find time to tell the few
remaining readers of that paper what
he knows about the raising Of the $l00,
600 which was used in the campaign OF
1880. Jake and his understrappera
roll up the whites of their eyes at the
idea Of a government official coutribut-
ing anything to campaign fund, and
yet they think it entirely proper to en-
ter into . trade and dicker to
debanch the supreme court of the
United States in order to raise funds to
elect q man president who had been de-
nounced by the Tribune as a Credit
Mobilier thief The Republican dares
Mr.. Reid or any of his understrappers
to tell the part he played in raising the
$l00, 900 referred to. The running of
post offices may bea very gigantic ques-
ton, but the Republican would suggest
that even SO momentous matter as
that dwindles into in:ignifcance when
compared to 3 trade which involves the
appointment of one or more justices of
the supreme court of tie United States.
1t is only Mr.. Jake Reid's own con
sciousness of guilt, or rather his knowl-
edge of the existence of the proof,
which makes him too cowardly to deny
the part he played. 1t is not on ac-
count Of his lack OF disposition TO lie
out of it." There can be no doubt
that these charges are made by a
high officer of the government, who is,

The Court Martial Cases.

WASHINGTON, Oct. ia general
order has been issued promuIgating
the action Of the president upon the
findings and sentence of the court
martial case of Lieut.. Robertson, list
cavalry. The sentence of the court
was that Lieut.. Robertson be sus-
pended from rank and command for
six months, and be confined within
the limits of his post for the SAINT pc
riOd, and be reprimanded in general
orders. The proceedings of the court
are approved by the president, but the
findings and sentence are disapproved
and Lieut.. Robertson is relieved from
arrest and ordered toresume his proper
duties. In the order of promulgation
Secretary Lincoln writes as fol-
lows: mo assent can be given to the
demoralizing idea which seems to be
one of the theories of the defense in
this case that no serious offense is
committed by the officer falsely certi-
flying to the second pay voucher for
the same month, if it is given as
security for a loan and is not expected
TO be presented for payment. An
office may not properly give as secu-
rlty that which is no less than a
power of attorneyto disgrace himself.
The president is not willing
by his disapproval Of this find
ing and sentence to sanction
the view that the conduct of the ac-
cused, found by the court to be culpa-
Die, should be considered merely neg
lect Of duty, to be followed by a slight
mimi n OanDt If 10 ~ 1,o hood H.
Lieut.. Robertson will not again have
occasion to persuade the court that
the collection Of his monthly pay
is so trivial a matter to him that he
does not remember a fortnight before
it became due, whether or not he has
already drawn and will be more care
full in the future;to avoid the violation
of the sanctity of his official certii-
Gates, trusted as being made on the
honor of an officer and d gentleman.

FREEPORT, H., Oct. 13.-Sensa-
tional accounts were telegraphed
from here last week of terrible indig-
mites heaped upon boy calling him
self Danny Cox, the boy who APP
peared at Mr.. Bohan's house in a
sadly dilapipated state, and told a
highly sensational story about being
kidnapped and drugged by a couple
of colored men and left by the road
side to die, is an accomplished liar
Since the boys appearance at Mr..
Bohan's house he has adhered to such
a skillfully arranged tissue of false
hoods that many who saw and Ques-
toned him had implicit confidence in
his truthfulness, and that he had
really been the victim Of q great out
rage. Others, however, better versea
in the ways of the wicked, were sus-
picious that the lad was not telling
the truth, and yesterday devel-
opments proved the correctness of
their Judgment, as well as the farther
fact that the boy is skilled in the art
of Justification far beyond his years.
G. G.. Wenham, city marshall of Lake
Forest, who has had the boy in charge,
yesterday found a family named
Burke, living about a mile from Lake
Forest, who knew the boy, he having
been at their house about year ago
under similar circumstances. At that
time he said his name was Wilson.
The Burkes advertised the boy, and
the next day Mr.. VIM. D. Cox, of
Highwood, his father, called and took
him home.

A Lovely Quarrel in Minnesota.

ST. PAUL, Oct. -. Last July Spe-
laI Agent w. r. Marshall on the afh-
davit of A. K Lovejoy made com
plant against H. L. Gordon, a
wealthy and prominent lawyear of
Minneapolis, and r. Q. Mitchell of
the Duluth Tribune, charging them
with conspiracy to defraud the United
States out Of 4, $50 acres of valuable
pine lands by hiring men to pre-empt
them and then sell them to the
principals at q nominal price.
The grand jury which have been
engaged on the case for ten days
reported to the court this afternoon.
The indictments are against Gordon
and probably Lovejoy, and exoner-
ating Mitchell. Mitchell was appoint
ed receiver of the government land
Office at Duluth a few days before his
arrest, but had not received his com
mission. He claims that the charges
were brought against him merely to
keep him out of the office, which the
Minnesota delegation in congress
recommended him for. Gordon
claims that the charges against him
are for blackmail.
