General Hazen's Conversion.

Washington Special.
An Ohio politician, Republican, said to me
this morning: General Hazen has met with
political change of heart He has been con-
verified to Democracy. You needn't laugh; it's
fact and no more remarkable than George
Bliss conversion to religion Senator Payne
was Hazen's political Capel This is how the
regeneration came about: In the first place.
the best chief the Signal Service ever had and
that his retention would be in the direct line
of civil-service reform. But Hazen isn't the
man to build many hopes on that idea; not
being heavy on reform himself. 1t seemed clear
that his only course was to make himself solid
with the administration. With this end in
view he took counsel of Senator Payne and
Johnnie Mclean. OF course, you know Hazen
is relative Of Johnnies by marriage, and the
two are old chums and confidants. The two dis
cussed the situation squarely It looked des
perate. The Payne Mclean interest could do
little enough for the Ohio Democrats, and they
felt that getting favors for Hazen would be
harder than finding a clean pavingstone in Gin
cinnati. 1t was decided that Hazen must at
least become Democrat; and right there he re-
pented of his sins and was absolved therefrom,
the childlike and bland senator acting as the
high priest of Democracy"
What excuse will Hazen make to your peO-
pief" / asked.
''That he has been frozen out by the hostility
of Lincoln. the Arthur Cabinet cabal and the
hostility OF his subordinates who protected
in their insolence. As matter of fact, Hazen
is sick of the Republican party on personal
grounds. He has made enemies right and left
by his course in office, and realizes that he has
no more to hore from his old chums To the
Democrats, of course, he will make it an act of
political duty. When he was girding at Lincoln
and making things generally unpleasant for the
administration the Democratic organs We're
tickled of course, and good naturally patted
Ha2en on the back. That leads him to think he
has Democratic friends who will say a good
word for him."

WASHINGTON, April 29.-General Sparks. the
Land Commissioner, has made an important de-
cison In regard to the fencing in the public
domain. The Brighton Ranch Company have
fenced in over 100000 acres of public lands in
Nebraska, between the Platte and Loup rivers
A suit was brought against the company to
compel them to remove their fences A survey
was made to define the amount of land that lad
been inclosed After the suit had been started
the company to thwart the suit. changed their
fences and made the survey Of no use. The
District Attorney telegraphed to the Land Com
missioner that the suit could not be continued
on this account. For ten days the Land Office
has had the point under consideration with the
result that the Commissioner holds that the law
passed last winter for the purpose of facilitating
prosecutions, expressly declares that no survey
is necessary. The decision is that the proof suf-
fc;ent to begin the suit is sufficient to prosecute
it. 1t is only necessary to establish the identity
of tho land and the fact of illegal Enclosure.
