SOUNDING 4 key NOTE.

The Inter. Ocean, remarking upon the re-
cent conference held in Illinois, under the
call of the Republican State Central Commit
tee, declares that the unanimity of sentiment
was one of the most marked features that
has ever distinguished any important polit-
iOal copvocation. In no topic discussed,
according to the Inter. Oceaa's report, do
we find that there was greater unity Of
feeling and of expression than that declar-
ing that there must be the fullest enforce
ment of civil and political rights at the
South. At first there were some timid
ones, who feared that the cry of the
bloody shirt would be effectively raised
by the Democracy; but there were soon
whelmed in the intensity of the feeling of
the meeting That in every part of the land
the political rights of citizens must be pre-
served

Removal OF superinteHde Mckusick, OF
the Railway Mail Service.

WASHINGTON, February 20sh-Late this
afternoon Postmaster General Gresham made
an order removing II. J. McKusick, Super
intendent of the Eighth Division of the Rail-
way Mail Service at San Francisco, upon
charges which have been pending before him
for several weeks. Mr.. Gresham has ap-
pointed James l.. Wilder, now Assistant
Superintent of the Chicago Division, to Nc
Kusick's place. The latter has been notified
to place his office in charge of his chief clerk
until Wilder's arrival, who will proceed at
once to San Francisco. Wilder is one of the
Oldest employees in the postal service, and
Department officials say is one of the NEST
competent. Postmaster Gresham WAS asked
this afternoon for some explanation Of Nc
Kusick's removal. He seemed disinclined to
say anything, but finally remarked: "Of
course McKusick was removed for cause.
II there had been no cause he would not have
been relieved l hardly know what to say
about the charges against him, and perhaps
it would be proper to say nothing. There is
a railroad, believe, running from Sacra-
mento to the State line, called the California
and Oregon Railroad, It was in connection
with weighing the mails on this road that
McKusick was removed" This was ell MIR.
Gresham would say. 1t may be stated, how.
ever, that it is understood that he violated
the rules of the Department in weighing the
mails Of the California and Oregon rosd, for
which charges were preferred and made that
favoritism had been shown.

all of Eureka, Humboldt county-on charge
of subornation of perjury. They, in company
with well known English firm in this city,
formed Q syndicate to obtain possession of
valuable timber lands in Humboldt county.
1t is reported that the Redwood Lumber
Company of Humboldt is feature of the
syndicate. The mode Of operating was the
old dodge of hiring impecunious fellows to
make stfdavits to acquire possession of Gov
ernment land, which mas been turned over to
the syndicate. The examination of the cases
before the Grand jury has been very tedious,
owing to the efforts put forward by the &C.
cused. Witnesses for the Government have
been interviewed by the parties in interest,
or their agents, before as well SIS after leaving
the jury-room. Bail in each case is fixed at
5000. If the evidence obtained is true, the
steal has been gigantic one.

SALT LAKE, February 2Oih-For thirty
years Salt Lake City has been governed by a
polygAnous Council and officers Last night
new Council was elected under the I'd
munds law and qualified. Alderman Raleigh,
a Mormon Bishop, who boosted of having
served ever since the city had Council, said
no act of his gave greater satisfaction than
the one which Gisfranchised him, and called
upon the members of the new Council to
enter into polygamy and gain disfranchise-
ment. u. Fl. Wells protested against the
election conducted by the Utah Commission,
and would not give up his place in the Coun-
ell if the newly-elected II embers had not
been Mormons. Raleigh and Wells have
several wives each, and are prominent Church
officials. james Sharp, the new Mayor,
made a speech, indicating that he and all Of
the new Council would obey instructions in
defiance of the law, and so into polygsmy
While the city government is in the hands Of
supposed monogamists, it is influenced by the
