OKLAHOMA.

The latest advices from the Oklahoma
country show that there is imminent
danger of a serious engagement between
the United States troops and the deluded
boomers. All candid advice points to
the folly OF endesvOring to settle that
country except under sanction OF the
government. 1t is simply preposteTous
for handful of immigrants to array
themselves against the United States
authorities. II Is evidently but
a question of time when
the country 10 question will be
lawfully thrown open to settlement. To
attempt TO locate in the disputed terri
tory before congress makes the necessary
provisions is simply To invite bloOdshed
and the most iamectable and unfortunate
state OF affairs now threatened.
The following letter from Senator
Plumb to the editor of tue Coffeyv,lle
Journal embOdles the senator's opinion
in regard t. the possibilities and the
probabilities as TO the opening of Okla
homa:
II Is only question Oh Time "nen lno
lands in the Indian territory not In use
by the Indians will be opened to settle
menI. There are some four hundred
thousand acres of land In what is known
as Oklahoma which have not been set
apart tor Indians, which think the
government can dispose of without the
consent of any tribe. These are lands
covered by my bill which is now pend
ing before the senate committee on H.
dian affairs. Just what the committee
is going 10 do about 1t don't know, but
they have promised to give 1t an early
consideration, and am IN hopes they
will report il faYorably. If they do SO
l shall try to have it pass the senate at
once.
AS to going IN there before Legislation
is had, can only say that the president
has heretofore removed every one who
has gone there with the intention of set
Ting, and still thinks II to be his duty,
under the law, 81 to do. While l do not
wish to advise, still It seems to me it Is
hardly worth while to go in until there
Is some more definite hope to be able to
remain. If the executive should change
his mInS, of course 1t will be entirely
different, but there does not seem TO be
any chance OF that occurring, for the
present, st least.

Special Disratch to the Gilobe-Oemocrat
Dies MONIES, Ia, Jan. 17.-St. Johns
dispatch from st. Paul did not reach
Des MoiDes till after midnight, and Mr..
Carlson had merely time 10 glance it
over: He said:
lit Is mere confession than q con
;radIction He deals only in bubbles
aud crattiIy evsoes the main facts He
virtually rests his whole case on the
assertion that Leg4te's claim to be his
age.t wHs false, aud that Legate's let
tiers, rs printed, are forgerIcs. He
Knows that both of such assertions art
untrue He knows, too, that ii Whist he
now asssrts Was not untrue, he could get
letter from Senator Plumb indicating
both himself and Legate. The latter
came to me as st. Johu's agent, with g
letter from Plumb, which showed that
The Kansas senator knew that Legate was
acting for st. John, and that he
was authorized to act tor him. Why
does he not bring letter from Plumb
to deny these facts, which l gave to the
public IN the Globe Democrat interview
on the 18th, and why does he not bring
suit for libel againsI myself, my paper
and the Globe-Democrat, and SO compel
all The facts to be brought to light? He
knows he dare not sue for libel and that
he dare not let Senator Plumb and 9TH
ers go ON the witness stand and tell un-
der oath what they know. He and 9TH
ers will not voluntarily tell that which
they learned from ST John and Legate
in confidence, but in court they would
have to tell il. Why doesn't ST. John
bring them there? Why doesn't he de-
msnd that Plumb shall print any letter
of his that he has, whether it vas in re-
49,
ans or the Democrats ? His clubbing
over the Legate letters and bis insinua-
lions that they are forgeries proves that
he is tO!ling and sOrrOwing. He knows
both that the letters ere genuine and that
the fac-simile of OF 9 of them, printed in
the Globe Democrat of the 18th, has been
identified in Kansas as being incontesta-
bly, that of Legate, The man who has
! been his next friend for years, and who
represented him IN his effort TO sell out
| to the Republicans"
st John seeks tn make prominent
use of his denial that he was a such and
such places with his agent, Legste. All
| th6t have said as to his being at any
places outside of Ohio with Legate,
| his huckster. was said on Lagste's
own statements to me While st.
John was in OHIO. Legste would
send from Cincinnati dispatches TO him
and receive answers from him, which l
| ssw. As to their meeting in places out
side of Ohio, / had only knowledge
given by Legate's dispatches from the
places at the time, saying be and St
John we're there and his letter after wards
saying the same thing, and never have
pretended 20 state otherwise. The nOrid
and hysterical msnucr IN which he closes
his statement made up of evasions and
mock heroes, that he will answer Il
God for the ruth of 1t all, IS quite the
atricaI, but the public would think NOR
of his courage and have more faith il
his statement If he did not thus refer thI
test OF truth to q tribunal not of thi
world. The public would rather see TIL
, test made 10 some state or district cour
| of the world -

are satisfied To open 1t up from

WashinRton Notes

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19-TLe president
has decided to nominate Wright. of Mas
sachusetts, commissioner of the labor
statistics.
In the court OF claims judgment for
$12, 1856 has been gwen in favor OF Edgar
A. Wslz, IN the suit against the govern
ment for furnishing beef TO the various
Indian agencies in 1873.
DIR, Adair, of Indian Territory, Cher
okee, was examined by the senate com
mittee on Indian affairs to-day. He
SAID he was president of the association
of CheFokees formed for the purpose of
taking q lease of the vacant land OF the
Cherokees. The associations agents
were authorized to offer $685. 900 for 9
lease, but il was secured by outsiders for
100000 1t was the impression of
the members of the native association
that there was money used by
rivals. Cash was very rare commodity
among the Cherokees before the lease
was made. About the time ii was made,
however, members OF the council came
to witness store with $50 bills to be
changed.
A life-size portrait of the late Presi-
dent Garfield has been purchased to be
placed in the room of the house CON-
mittee on appropriations, of which CON-
mittee he was chairman while mem
Der of the house.
The supreme court hiss rendered q de-
cision in the polYgamY case of Rudger
Clawson, appellant, against the United
States; appeal from the supreme court
court of Utah; ClsWson, thu appellant,
having been found guilty by jury of
the crime of polygamy and unlawful
cohabitatIon. he was duly sentenced to
6nn
and imprisonment for four years.
He appealed to the supreme
court of the territory and pending judg-
ment on such appeal applied To the
court that sentenced him Tor a release
on suitable bail. The judge denied the
application on the ground that the de-
PENDANT ought not to be admitted TO bail
after conviction and sentence, unless
some extraordinary reason for II we're
shown, sad no such reason had
been given. Clawson theTeupon
sued out q writ of habeas corpus
in the supreme court of the territory,
and prsyt d for 8 release upon the ground
that the court below had unlawfullY re-
fused to admit him to bail. The su-
preme court overruled the petition and
remanded the prisoner to the custody OF
the marshal, when he took the present
appeal TO this court. This court holds
lnAsmuch as the judgment of the third
judicial court, in which the prts-
ouer was tried, did not impose
upon him q foe only, but also ImprisOn-
ment, his admission TO bail pending the
the appeal from that judgment, is indIs-
tinctly committed by the law of Utah To
the discretion of the court or judge to
whom the application for bail may be
made. The supreme court Ot'Utah was
therefore right in Overruling the petition
and demanding the prisoner to the Gus
tody of the marshal, and its judgment is
| affirmed.

Rembrandt's famous painting. 1.-The
Glider" which was painted by that won
dertul artist in 1647, has been purchased
by New York banker for $44 900.
The prices of pictures are usually IN
volVed in more or less mystery, but &C
cordlng 10 commonly received figures
the largest sum paid by an American for
a single painting vas given by the late
A. T. Stewart to Meissonier for the
"lSO7." This was 100000 francs, or
500 900. 1t is stated that Mr.. Wander
bilt paid $4,000 in Paris for his last
MeisspnIer, THE Arrival at the Cha
teau," aud the duty would bring the
cost of the picture up above $4,000.
Mr.. II. q MarQuand, 1t is said, paid
$25, 900 for the Rembrandt which has
been exhibited at the Metropolitan mu-
scum. MIllet's "Sower" must have
cost Mr.. Vanderbilt at least $25. 900. and
CoreI's "St. Sebastian" belonging to Mr..
w. T. Walters OF Baltimore. Is another
picture representing an extraordinary
investment of capital. Paintings valued
at SO, 700 and $4,000 are by no means
uncommon in New York. If The
Glider" be taken through the custom
house at once, the owner must pay 80
per cent of S45, 006. or Il duty of $500
