Leases to the Catt!emsn.

CHICAGO, Aug. LEX Secretary Teller,
in an interview here to-day, denies that
leases to cattlemen as first granted by the
Cheyenne and Arapahoe tribes in 1883 had
ever been sanctioned or recognized by him
as Secretary of the Interior. He says that
he specifically stated at the time, and incor-
porated the statement in his reports oflSS3.4,
that the government reserved the right to
interfere with the cattle men and remove
them whenever it became nsce s>ary, either
of its own motion or from the complaints of
the Indians. In this connection he an
nounced To the cattle men that if such occu-
patton proved agreeable to the Indians the
government would not interfere with the
possessions. Senator Teller is Of the opin-
ion that much good had been done the In
dams by meeting the cattle men. The for
mer were taught how Ia herd cattle, and in
other ways were made familiar with actual
business.

THE LANDMARK POSTMASTER.
LANDMARK, VA, Aug. S,

LANDMARK, ' a., aug Q, 1000.
10 The editor of The alexandria Gazette:
Seeing it stated in your issue of the Sth
instant that the postoffice at this place was
recently established and that the postmaster
was appointed through democratic influ,
ence, we desire to state the following nnde-
nable facts and let the reader draw his own
conclusions:
In 1879 petition for the establishment OF
a postotfice was sent from this place. Moth
ing was said in that petition about post
master. A postofice with the present in
cumbent as postmaster was the result
In 1876 this postmaster either voted for
Tilden or did not vote at all. In 1880 he
either voted the July Mahone-Hancock
ticket or the straight republican ticket.
Ever since that time he has voted with the
Mahone-republican party. So much for his
democracy. We suppose, however, that be
will now claim like boss Billy, to be as good
democrat a. Ben Hill.
The petition sent from here did not ask
removal on the ground of offensive partisan
ship mot because they did not have grounds
for it), but for other good reasons which the
petitioners, some of the best citizens of this
community, can substantiate by testimony
if necessary. These are the facts in the
case. four petition is disregarded, we see
no reason for changes anywhere, and no
reason for having elected an administration
pledged to reform. Very respectfully,
HEZEKIAH.

AN INDIAN PROCLAMATION ON GRANT
The Department of the Interior has received
the copy of proclamation issued by G. w
Bushyhead, principal chief CT the Cherokee
Nation, on the death Of General Grant. 1t
is addressed to all Indians. The proclama-
ton says: aside from the reasons which
call the tributes of respect from all the
world, the Cherokees and other Indians
have especial cause for sorrow, in the fact
that General Grant was at all times, and
especially when their rights were in peril,
their firm and constant protector and friend.
1t was General Grant who in tiated what is
known as the 'Iudian peace policy Gen.
Grant. when President, established the
practice of encouraging the Indians, az
tribes and individuals, to follow peaceful
pursuits, of protecting them while go en-
gagged against marauders, and OF furnishing
them for the evil they did or were respon-
sible for" The proclamation advises the
Indians to observe the burial day with ap-
! ropriate services.

THAT IMPLACABLE South hater, the Gin
cinnati Commercial Gazette, like General
Mahone's own organ, the Richmond IVhig,
is so opposed to every thing that tends to-
ward the frution of General Grants hope
of thoroughly reunited country, that so far
from approving the selection Of distinguish
ed .Confederates for pail hearers at the
Generals funeral, it makes that selection
the occasion for exploiting its luminosity for
the people whose lot was cast in the Soulh b.

says sit had a tendency to make the funeral
of the conqueror Of the rebellion serve po-
litical end" Fortunately for the country,

WHEN GENERAL MAHoNEis candidate for
Governor, Mr.. Wise, commenced his cam
paipu. at Newbern, Pulaski county, he at
tempted to make digni6ed, courteous aud
conservative speech. Such an attempt was
out of his role, and the result, OF
course, was q signal failure, the speech
evoking no applause, and, if at all
effective, making votes for the dem
ocrats. With the material of which his
party is composed persistence in that role
wnud have produced surh Il disheartening
effect that his defeat next November could
have heen nothiug else than crushing. Mr..
Wise is anything but stupid; and realizing
as once The mistake he had made, be aban-
.ioned that role at once. and returnedto the
one to which he il accllstnmed-that OF
reckless assertion aud abuse OF nInc.tenths
of the white people Of his own State. AS
nv the change he attracts larger and more
interested auiicnc.s, and as it is his uc-
c,,s,omr,I way he w,'l doubtless pursue it
to the eud As that end. no matter how it
may he reached, i; :nrecrdain.d defeat, it is
probably Just as well that he should do so,

ciate what they escape by eliminating him
