to remark the county commissioners

Democracy.
New York, Jan. 15.-The New
York Freeman, the colored peoples
newspaper here, will publish to- NOR
row an open letter to the Democratic
party, written by George T. Down
ing, the well-known colored man. It
is addressed to William Dorsheimer,
David Dudley Field, Algernon S.
Sullivan, Roger A Pryor and Joseph
Pulitzer, because, it says, their devo-
ton to pure Democratic principles
will admit OF their advocating that
the Democratic party shall favor re-
cognition of the colored element.
Downing boasts that his efforts to
divide the colored vote in the recent
election were not fruitless. Conf.

Central American Complication.

Gen. T. B. Bunting of New York, who some
years ago held q prominent position in the
army Of Guatemala, has just received q letter
from an American gentleman living in Guate-
mala, which throws much light on the Central
American complications. Tie letter which is
dated Guatemala, March IL, after speaking of
Barrios' announcement of his desigDto consol-
idate the five republics, says:
As Salvador now sends ambassadors to dis
cuss, and perhaps to arrange matters to make
common cause Barrios has deferred offensive
operations. Still, not to be taken unawares,
he has dispatched Gas they say 10000 trools
to the frontier. / think the number may be
exaggerated, but troops are leaving every day,
and large amount of ammunition equipments,
etsi " Peng sent forward. Volunteers
Come pouring in from all quarters, without the
necessity Of returning the fees, /" for this man
has, as he alone can do, impaired his magnet
ism to the people. Many foreigners are offer
ing their ~servises, and things are being pushed
with avigor and energy that leaves doubt of q
speedy and glorious termination of the conflict
Bsrrios sees all, understands all, orders all
With . memory that staggers at nothing, a per-
ception as quick as lightning, a mental scope
taking in everything at o glance, personal
bravery amounting to temerity, a cool head
that never loses its Judgment, and an energy
that knows no faltering, he compels success,
and will, before many months roll around,
make of this weak, disintegrated country a
solid, strong, prosperous republic.

The Fight Batween R1el's Forces and the
Police.

4 correspondent learns the following con-
corning the fight between Riels forces and the
police and citizen soldiers on Thursday, March
20. The story is direct from half breeds who
were present. Learning that the force was en-
route for Duck Lake, mounted half-bEeeds,
twenty in number started to reconnoiter. They
met a force of 100 men police and citizens
in sleighs, and the half-breedg scat
tered. Crozier, in command of the police,
thought an effort was being made to sur
round him and ordered his men to fire.
Seeing half breeds falling dead at the first
fire, his followers returned the shots with
much execution. The fight was short
but hot. The half breed, who tells the
story, counted thirteen dead on the
field. When the police returned the
route to Fort Carlton was traced with blood.
The half breeds lost four killed, and one In
dian not in the fight was accidentally shot An
other story Of the half breeds side of the fight
is told I. W. Jackson, member of the terrific
rial council, says Gabriel Dumas, one of Riel's
leutenants, told him Crozier was coming to
take supplies from Duck Lake. Dumas took
thirty mounted men armed with Remingtons
and met CroZier's force a few miles from tho
spot where the trail enters a Goolie and
bluffs. Both parties stopped. The half breeds
were ordered to scatter in the bush, in order
that they might not be so much exposed
CroZier thought a surround was attempted,
and fired first. The half breeds lost four Kill
led and two wounded. Crozier had thirteen
killed, who, according to the last story, were
left on the field Both half breeds above in
terviewed assert that Riels orders are never

Tree Claims and Roads.

A correspondent at Redwood Falls asks If
. man who has lived on a tree claim with his
family six or seven years, and has planted all
the trees required of him, can properly sign q
petition for the laying out OF a now town road
without waiting until no has made final proof
of his claim The statute (chap. Is, sec. 3S3),
requires that a petitioner for the laying out or
altering Of q town road shall be o legal voter
and must own real estate cor occupy real es-
tate under the homestead or pre- emption laws
of the United States, or under contract with
the State of Minnesota within one mile of the
proposed roadway. Legal advice obtained up
on the subject is to the effect that as tree claims
are not mentioned by the law, an occupant Of
such . claim, unless he has come into full
possession thereof by proving up, is not prop
erly a signer to q roadway petit1on-that is his
signature should have no weight.

whore Suspended.
The commissioner Of the general land office
has ordered that final action in the land Office
upon all entries of the public lands except pri-
vate cash entries, and such scrip locations as
are not dependent upon acts IF settlement and
cultivation be suspended in the following
localities: All and west Of the first guide
meridian, Kansas; all west of range II west, ID
Nebraska the whole OF Colorado, except lands
in the Ute reservation, ell lands in New Mexico,
Montana, Wyoming and Nevada, and that
portion Of Minnesota north Of the indemnity
limits Of the Northern Pacific railroad and
east Of the indemnity limits OF the Chicago
Minnesota i Manitoba railroad. Final action
in the land Office is also ordered to be sus-
pended upon all timber culture entries un der
The act of June 3, 1873, which have not already
been examined: also in all cases of desert land
entries
There have been a good many charges Of
fraud made at Washington and throughout the
country in regard to pine and other land entries.
Minnesota had its share thereof during the
past two or three years, as all will remember.
Corporations and private syndiCates have been
charged Y tn hiring men to make presumption
entries and then transfer their claims to the
former. 1t is doubtless true that this plan
has been prscticed to a considerable extent
and the government and honest settlers
defrauded To prevent further fraud
OF this nature is presumably the OBJ
ject of the order. Its effect will be
to prevent final proving up on all pre-emp-
ton, homestead and timber culture entries-ln
fact on all entries on public land except where
land has been offered for sale, in which latter
case one may purchase by private cash sales,
but only in this manner Scrip locations are
also excepted. The object is probably to al
the commission TO investigate the numer-
GUS charges of fraud and refuse to allow final
proving up in cases where fraudulent inten t is
evident 1t can work no hardship to
the actual settler, as it will only defer his time
for final proving up, and it is not likely that
the government will throw any hindrance IN
the way of one who is proved to be an actual
settler. The order affects but little and in Min
nesota, only that between the eighth and tenth
co. rection lines and the fourth and fifth meri-
dians-ths strip from Lake Superior west to
Red Lake reservation. Alarge portion of this,
also, will not be affected, as it is not yet sur
veyed.

Genera, Grants Condition Last week

Rev. DR.. Newman and DR.. Shrady left Gen
Grants house on the morning. of the Sd inst:
ssThe general has just walked up" said the
former. ssHe slept peacefully for several
hours, awakening only at intervals for a little
nourishment. The first thing he said this
morning was Il am thirsty and the doctors
moistened his throat
DIR. Shrady seemed in light spirits as he but
toned his coat about him and stepped down
toward the park for q little morning air. To
your correspondent he said:
ssThe change in Gen Grant this morning is
simply wonderful. He has had a good sleep,
taken his nourishment, and Is again resting
quietly"
'Does his mind seem brightsn was asked
bright as q button" was the response, "He
seemed often to anticipate our own suggestions,
and his replies are always quick and to the
point
aHas he been able to rest on his couch?"
esNo; he rested In his reclining chair, which
has been made as comfortable as possible, and
is much better for him than the bed. 1t per-
mits him to change his position easily, and at
the same time supports his head in q way to

morning that, at the closest calculation, q delay

brandy, -wnlcn was given MIN, Wouln nave

sIaPLY REMARKABLE"
On Saturday morning, DR.. Shrady said:
sarhere is one point about Gen. Grants
trouble" said he, that has not yet been brought
out The lancer itself has not yet sufficiently
developed to put a man in ordinary health in 80
dangerous o condition. II the generals constr
tuition were only as strong as the average man
he would be good for six months yet at least
The severe mental and physical shocks he has
had the past year or SO are the things that are
telling against him at this j~uncture. His
frame has been completely shattered by
them. For all that, / regard his rallies, and
especially that Of to-day, as simply marvellous,
and almost beyond belief. There was one time
Wednesday morning when ! thought another
FIVE minutes would finish him Tonight he Ii
better than he has been in q week. For al
that, however, he may sink way rapidly, and
