Maj. j. M. Smylie, Swamp
Land Commissioner, has re-
tnrned from Washington where
he has been engaged adjusting
the claims of the State to the
proceeds of large quantities of
swamp and overhOwed lands,
donated by Congress-, and which
have been sold by the agents of
the government, and the pro-
ceeds paid INTO the public treas
ury. BY the act of Sd of March,
1857, these proceeds were or
dered to be paid over to the
State, but it's provisions have
never been carried out. The
sum of $52, 900, has already been
conceded to be due by the gov
ernment on Investigation, sub
ject to the report of a special
agent who is now making a joint
examination of the lands with
Maj. Smylie. The number of
acres embraced in the grants
approximates three millions and
they have been sole at prices
raging from 12s cents to $1,25
cents per acre. The proceeds
under the acts to be devoted to
educational purposes, and will
amount to a good round sun
when collected. Major Smylie
deserves praise for the tact and
industry he has displayed in this
important work.-Clarion.

The Democracy Of Rankin

recent Convention held at Bran.
don to nominate candidates for
county Offices Q number of the
delegates were so dissatisfied d
with its action that they bolted.
1t is not yet known whether OF
not the boilers will put up an
independent ticket. If they
should do so and have much
strength they may possibly,
with the support of the Repnb-
licans, succeed in defeating the
regular ticket. We hope that
wiser consels will prevail, and
that they will evertu ally ac-
quiesce in the decisio n of the
Convention. The Democracy
Of old Rankin are invincible.
when united but if they suffer
themselves to be divided, they
may expect to be defeated.

Within the last six or eight
weeks, mob law has condemned
and executed victims in at least
five different states of the Un-
ion-Iowa. Missouri, Alabama,
Texas and Illinois. The last
lynching was In Illinois, and it
was the most revolving of them
all. A white man and col0red
man, both drunk, got into row.
The white man drew pistol and
attempted to shoot his adverse.
ry, but the latter wrenched the
weapon from the hand that
drew it, and used it with deadly
effect Upon his enemy. For
this he was hung by q mob,
Though in any codft Of justice
he Lould not have been convict
ed of a higher grade of crime
than manslaughter. AS Iowa
started this series of lynchings,
she must be held responsible
for setting the fearful example.

Daniel Webster's financiering
is the subject of many anec-
dotes at Washington, and one
of them thus describes how he
one day assisted his friend Ru-
fus Choate. Choate needed
$500, and he applied to Mr..
Webster. "Five hundred dol
lars" says Webster. No /,
havn't that amount, but l will
get it for you, Choate." The
latter was glad to here it and
would wait. ''Draw your note"
said Webster, an sign it and
bring you the money. While
you are about it make the note
for thousand; a Thousand is
as easy to get as $500" Mr..
Choate said that $500 was all h Q
needed. "I'll take the other
$780," said Webster, taking his
cane, went into the avenue.
"Good morning, Mr.. Corcoran,
good morning." said he, as he
entered the great banking house
which was the fiscal agent of the
government. "Good morning,
Mr.. Secretary" said the great
banker in his blandest manner.

was no such thing as hesitating,
much less declining, and so the
banker was only happy to ac-
commodate the head of MI.
Filmore's administration. The
gold was laid out in two equal
piles at Mr.. Webster's request.
Putting one in each pocket, and
With one of the bows which only
Mr.. Webster could give, he de
parted. "Here Choate, are the

entering where Choate was
waiting. Handipghim the gold
Mr.. Webster resumed his read

1t is further stated that Mr

The latest theory is that the
imported foreign human hair is
finer than the hair of native
Americans, partly because it is
cut from the heads of the peas
antry of Europe, whe wear caps
constantly, which keeps the hair
smooth and clean. The Ameri
can Indians have hair as coarse
as straws, and there is a much
greater infusion of Indian blood
in the old American families
than we, with our imperfect
knowledge of and interest in
genealogy, usually imagine, says
an alleged expert. People with

apt to have long, heavy heads
of hair, aud they, like Indians
