Yankee.
[Lychburg News
Our Northern brethren will not let Mr..
Davis alone in peace in his quiet home on
the shore of the Gulf They keep picking
and pecSing ct him, and, as q general rule
seem 10 prefer to avoid the truth in what
they say shout him. The latest misrepresen-
tation (nexs to General Sherman'sj to which
be has been subjected comes from q writer of
Yankee books, Mr. James Parton, of medium
talents and requirements, and OF cOlsidera-
bic notorieiy az the North. He is the author
Of a number OF biographies Of distinguished
Americans among them Aaron BUR and
Andrew Jackson. With fscotious irony
he is sometimes called the American
Plutarch. Recently Mr. Parton has brought
out 3 pTetentious volume, printed By John
3 Alden, of New York, under the nan-o OF
Encyclopaedia Of, Biography" consisting Of
more than q hundred brief sketches of emil
nent men Of all ages and countries. Among
these is one of DR.. Benjamin Franklin, the
illustrious patriot and philosopher of the
Revolution, who is enc of the smDaratiVely
few Americans whose names will 90 down
70 a very remote posterity. This sketch mr.
Parton was pleased 70 open, page 128 IN the
following sensational style
"Was Ben amin Franklin mean Jeffsrsl IN
Davis thinks he was." he is reported 20
have said, recently, that DR.. Franklin was
''the incarnation OF the New England char
scter-hard, calculating, angular, unable
TO conceive any higher object than the &C.
cum ulation Of money"
Mr. Parton 1Oes not give his authority for
this most wsnton and preposterousc slumny,
carrying the brand of falsehood on its very
face. How could 3 cultivated and refined
gentleman like Mr.. Davis, confessedly one of
the best informed men of the age, aud per-
fectly familiar with the life and character
OF Dr.. Franklin, pronounce him unable ito

MINERAL vs.. TOWNSHIP CLAIMS.


a Washington correspondent of the
Inter Mountain. says: The recent
decision of the United States Supreme
Court in the case Of Dctfenbach VS..
Hlwke, appealed from a Dakota
court holding that no title from the
United States to lands known to be
mineral can be acquired under the
presumption, homestead or townsi,e
laws, is more important and far
reaching in its effects than is generally
supposed by careless readers. As a
matter Of fact it vitia.es the semblance
of title held by locators upon millions
of lots throughout the mineral regions
of the country, and towns are particu-
larly affected by the decision. and all
OF the lot owners. no matter what their
title may be, will have to make terms
with the mineral claimants. In the
test case just decided the mineral
claim was entered first and the land
paid for. A few months later the same
land was appropriated as a townsite.
paid for and built upon but the pr-
ority OF locating, settling or paying
had nothing to do in determining the
case; the general principle is estab
lished that land known to be mineral
cannot be acquired in any other way
than under the mineral laws"

Posto ftices and spo,l Hunters


DANvILLE. Ind, Feb. I've are having in
quiet way about as much interest in our
Republican county over the subject OF the
distribution Of the speils'' as was wit
messed in the last campaign over the fight
to "turn the rascals out" There are three
prominent candidates for the Postoffic e-Dr.
A. N. Towles, John Mesler, and last, but not
least, the old veteran Democrat, A. P.
Pounds. These gentlemen are all worthy
and competent, but those. that assume to
know best have fixed up the slate in this
way:
A. 2. Pounds, the noblest Roman of them
all, deserves something far better than the
postoffice, and therefore his friends will
make a very persistent effort to have him
appointed Collector of Internal Revenue for
this district. NO man in the State, and
much less Hendricks County, is more de.
serving recognition at the hands of the in
coming administration than A. z. Pounds.
Then at to the Postoffice here. DR.. A. N.
Towles got into the field while his opponents
were sleeping, ana got about two thirds of
the Democrats that get mail here TO sign bis
petition. Thus they were defeated before
that he would recommend the one who re.
ceived the greatest number of Democrats liv-
ing or getting mail at Danville To sign his
petition.
So the word should go forth to the trou-
bled waters Peace, be still" A. p. Pounds
will be Collector of Internal Revenue, and
DR.. A. n. Towles will run the Postoffice dur
ing life or good behavior. So mote it be be.
