THE following is said to be the ex-
PLANTATION Of the demand, some time
ago. for Confederate bonds: 1t is
said judah Z. Benjamin was the or.
iginator of the plan which created
demand for bonds. The stoIy is that
the state department of the Confed-
erdcy had a secret society fund which
WAS principally deposited in London
and Parts banks to the credit of citi-
zeEs Of England and France who were
friendly TO the South. The total bal
ance due the Confederate Government
at the time of its fall amounted to
$5.O80,000. 1t was finally concluded
that the holders of Confederate bonds
were entitled to the money. The
bonds were all advertised for and were
readily obtained, and all of the jan
uary Cl865) coupons were paid simply
by the purchase of the bonds for the
amount of these coupons and their
subsequent destruction. The re-
mainder of the fund was absorbed by
the partial payment of the coupons
next due In order of their presentation.

THE Republicans of Ohio have a
troublesome customer on their hands
in Gen. Beatty, who is a candidate
for the nomination of Governor of
that State. In defining his position
Gen. Beatty says he is neither pro-
tectionist nor free trader, but "be-
lieves in protecting the wool on a ne
gro's head as well as on a sleeps
back" In a protective tariff, that
charges about 40 per cent tax on all
that clothes the negro. the sheep has
decidedly the advantage, and this is
the homely lesson which Gen. Beatty
seeks to inculcate.

FRED DOUGLASS, having arraigned
the Republican party and eulogized
Mr.. Cleveland as equal to Lincoln or
Garfield, he now expects to hold on
to the fat Office Republican president
gave him for being the bitter callum-
mator of all Democrats. How much
better Fred Douglass would have az
peared before the country and the ne
groes of the United States, had he
arraigned Republicans and approved
Democrats before the late president
ial election. Fred should be asked to
step down and out, If for no other
thing to discourage miscegination, a
thing condemned by both the whites
and blacks of this country.

THE Washington Star says there is
great complaint among Democrats
about the appointment of Republicans
to places under the new Administra-
ton They complain that a large
. number of Blaine men are masquer-
aiding as Democrats and trying to get
appointment through Democratic in
fluence, and say that they are getting
, more consideration than the hard
shell Democrats. They say that many
applicants for foreign missions make
no pretense Of being Democrats, but
are simply fighting for the places
without saying anything about their
politics. Some of the Democratic pol
, iticiuns are charged with repay log
past favors by giving their support tc

cants Is It impossible for the dis.

Some time ago Messrs. Shaughnessy
and Adams leased the Wightman livery
stable, on Sixteenth street. The enter
prise promised TO be a successful one, but
troubles come on apace and Wednesday
the firm was dissolved. During the set
Element of the business the various per-
sons interested did not preserve an ami
ability Of temperament phenomenal for its
sweetness. In fact the matter Of expend-
ing various and sundry dollars and cents
partook somewhat of the nature of the
traditional payment for dead horses, and
was attended with arguments fully as
forcible as logical. Among those who
were incidentally interested in the settle
ment Of the affairs Of the late lamented
firm, was a young man named Nash.
Shaughnessy and Nash entertained views
Of the eternal fitness of things SO COM
pletely at variance that a bloody chasm
speedily yawned between them. Civil war
was declared, the issue WA fought u on
the spot, and according to the reports of
the war correspondents on the field, the
rebellious army was victorious. The mat
ter was finally referred to a commission,
consisting Of Justice Lee, who awarded
damages TO the city for a breach made in
the peace by Nash. An armed neutrality
now exists in the camps of the ~contending
forces.

From the. Rock Springs Independent
Joe Camulo and John Martin, who are
employed on Sheriff Young's ranch, ar
rived in town last evening. They report
the sheep on the ranch in excellent condi-
ton. At this time last year a loss of 500
had been sustained. Up to the present
time this winter the loss has been less
than 100. The sensational reports about
heavy losses must be ~discredited. as the
most reliable advices contradict them.

people of that city with hot water. He has
fitted up an immense iron tank at Markets

escapes about the place. The steam soon
copdsnsss, and makes the softest and purest
water in the world He has also fitted up u
tank wagon, In which to deliver his stock.
Before commencing operations he secured
nearly 100 customers, whom he has served
regularly from the start. In the morning
he comes around early. and supplies boiling

other trip is made at supper and sometimes
in the evening. On wash-days very few la

another wagon at work, and his example
will no doub be initiated in many other

A successful Wen.

Workmen have been engaged for some
time in boring a well at the old Kingman
ranch, now owned by the Hereford Asso-
citation. Yesterday a fine supply of water
was struck at a depth of $50 feet The
well has n diameter of six inches and is
cased from the surface. The water is ex-
cellent in quality and the quantity is said
to be sufficient for the needs Of the ranch.
In addition to its use for other purposes
the well will furnish water for 500 cattle
kept in the pasture at the ranch. A
windmill will elevate the water to tanks
and a pressure will thus be obtained.
This is the first well Of this character in
the region about Cheyenne.

Mrs. Esther Leonard, who keeps a
lunch house on Fifteenth street and who
incidentally has charge Of furnished room
in a business bleck on Sixteenth street,
appeared before Justice Lee yesterday
and made n complaint against Bill Aspen.
Now Aspen occupies a somewhat undes
cided and a rather analogous position as
the husband Of Mrs. Aspen. Thursday
night he went to their rooms in the block
previously mentioned. but for reasons
which need not be painfully dwelt upon,
denied admittance. He thereupon
manufactured a disturbance which was
calculated to disturb the slumbers Of the
other occupants of the building, and
which aroused the ire Of Mn. Leonard,
whose mental bias was such that she
failed to perceive any provocation for his
u~nseeming rage. For the purpose of vim
dicating the position she had taken, Mrs.
Leonard made the complaint. The mat
ter has not been settled. but in the mean
time hostilities have not been suspended
and further trouble is more or less likely
