was not known to the marshal at the

A CLEyEbANp CoNTRIBUrIoN.

Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 3-To-day Col.
Howard, colonel in the late war, gave
a reporter an incident of peculiar inter-
est:
"In 1856" said he, 'when President
Andrew johnson was swinging around
the circle. he stopped in Cincinnati and
made an address. Afterward he entered
room at the Spencer house occupied
by Judge Thomas Marshall Key, colonel
of United States volunteers and Judge
advocate general Of the army OF the
Potomac. There were present besides
Judge Kee and myself, Gen. jeff q. Da-
Wis, Gen. j. Q. Steadman, Gen. Custer
and Gen. Rosseau, of the union army
Generals Gordon and Young and several
other southern men, including Dick
Stanton, Maysville, Ky. During the
conversation President johnson said,
turning toward the southern gentleman
"If the people of the south elect repre-
sentatives and send them to the house
they shall be seated at al! hazards, even
if it has to be done by force in arms"
Judge Key sprang to his feet and facing
the southern gentleman, said: "Don't
you for one moment hug any such de-
lusion as that to your bosom. Such an
| attempt would create an uprising at the
north beside which that following the
firing of Fort Sumpter would be mere
baby. Here the conversation on that
subject ceased, but remember the re-
! marks of President johnson and Judge
Kew Yery distinctly.

lOHNSON'S TREASON.
Further Evidence I'm Confirmation of
the Depew Statement.


Washington, Nov. 3 A gentleman
who was major general of volunteers
confirms the account Gen. Sanborn
gives of Gen. Sherman's share in the
Grant-J ohnson embroglio.
II think" says the authority, chat
to Gen. Sherman more than to any other
man we owe the escape of the country
from a second civil war. The affair
SHOWS how small and cunning Andrew
Johnson was. To my mind, it confirms
the charge that he was confirmed
opium eater. You will remember what
an excitement there was over Gen. Sher-
mans Offering Joe johnston truce of
two weeks at Raleigh, anu how Secre-
tary Stanton became enraged at Gen.
| Sherman for his action in it, and sent
Grant down to remedy the fancied error
Sherman from that hour hated Stanton
as he would viper. The two never
afterward spoke. When Sherman as.
cended the grand stand at the head OF
| Penns} lvania avenue on the occasion
/ of the grand review of his army in July
1865, he shook hands with President
johnson and oil the members of his
cabinet except Stanton. Him be
saw only with an unrecognizine
stare. Stanton held out his hand
but Sherman turned his back upon it
Now Andy johnson counted upon al
this when he sent for Sherman at St
Louis to come to Washington. He be
lived that Sherman's hatred OF Stanton
would make him the ally of the presi
dent. But Sherman was greater maj
than he supposed. | remember walk

In previous issue the Press and Da-
kotaian asserted that Judge Palmer, of
the fourth judicial district of Dakota,
last winter, wrote letter to Governor
Pierce advising him to veto the bill for
the removal of the capital from Bis
marck to Pierre. This allegation
brought from Judge Palmer printed
denial of the fact stated. Governor
Pierce also appeared in print upon the
subject, addressing his remarks to the
Press and Dakotaian, but publishing
them in all the newspapers available to
the executive of great territory. Gov
ernor Pierce, however, failed to deny OF
affirm the existence OF the letter, but did
deny that his action in relation to the
bill was IN any manner influenced by
outside parties. He heroically assumed
all the responsibility of the veto and
tragically cnnonnced that be would

A BUFFALO GAP MURDER,
Charles Adams Killed by John Don

in the Game.

Charles Adams Killed by John Don
nan ut Card Table-Doc middleton
in the Game.
Sioux City Journal.
Charles Adams was killed at Buffalo
Gap, d. T., on Wednesday by John Den
nan. James Glover, track boss on the
Sioux City & Pacific extension, was in
city yesterday, and gave Journal re-
porter the following facts concerning
the case:
Adams and Donnap, the latter pro-
fessional gambler, were playing cards in
a saloon. A dispute arose IN regard to o
point in the game. Then came blows,
and during the fight Donnan pulled his
revolver, and fired, the ball piercing
Adams heart, and he fell dead. His
brother-in-law, Doc Middleton, the noted
desperate, was at Gordon, and being
telegraphed for, arrived as soon as it
was possible. He came heavily
armed and cent word ahead that
he would ayenge the murder of
his brother-in-law. Donnan did
not leave town. His friends, the gam
bers, held that he was justified in kill
ing Adams, as he had violated certain
rules in the game for the purpose of Sc.
| curing the stakes. Middleton finally ar
rived, and served notice upon the friends
OF Donnan that he could not live. The
| circumstances of the killing were ex-
planned to Middleton, and he admitted
that hie brother-in-law had been guilty
| of gross violations of the rules and that
Donnan was justified in killing him. The
honor and dignity of the profession
must be kept up and the killing of his
brother-in-law was pronounced just.
Donnan and Middleton met at the sa-
loon shortly after, and shaking hands,
sat down to the table stained by Adams
blood and played game for a good
sized stake. The body of Adams was
lying upon the floor in an adjoining
room.
Mr.. Glover says that Buffalo Gap had
every indication of becoming one of the
principal towns, if not the best town,
along the new branch. 1t is surrounded
by an excellent country, and has an
abundance of good water. The road
| will be completed into Buffalo Gap in
about two weeks. The town at present t
contains sixteen saloons and gambling
houses.
