FARGO, D. T., Dec. 7, 1855.
The advice asked above would seem at first
glance proper to be given, but bearing in mind
that the order referred to was issued by a su-
perlor officer, we do not consider it proper
thing for this office to criticise. However,
were we making such proof as you refer to,
we should certainly have claimant state all the
facts relative to the matter in question just as
they exist, and stand or fall on that before the
Secretary Of the Interior, as, OF course, this
Office and the general land office would be
compelled to reject such proofs.

The inauguration ofPresident-elect
Cleveland on the 4th of March next
promises to be n noteworthy event
in the history of Washington. The
citizens of the Capital are working
theoretically and systematically
to make the occasion great sue
cess. In anticipation of an enorm-
Gus throng of people, every effort is
being put forth to provide accom-
modations for all who may come.
Beside the regular hotels and board
ing-houses, with which the city is
well equipped, numbers of private
families have agreed to entertain Wis
tors, and sleeping quarters are being
improvised in halls and such other
buildings as are suitable. There
will doubtless be ample accommo-
dations for all, but those who desire
to secure their lodgings in advance
can do so by applying to Colonel h.

on Public Comfort. Preparations
for all the ceremonies are in the
hands of competent committees; and
every measure calculated to promote
the comfort and pleasure of visitors
will be carefully looked after.
For the benefit of the thousands
of people who will be drawn from
points along its lines, the Pcnnsyl

CAPTAIN ED. STEVENS,
The Sheriff OF 5exar County Summoned
10 Cod.

About two o'clock this morning, Cap
tain Ed. a. Stevens, Sheriff of Bexsr
County, breathed his last. By his death
the County and state have lost one of
the most fearless and faithful officers
that ever bore commission. Captain
Ed. A. Stevens was native of Virginia
and came TO 'rexas in early days. lie
served with galantry under Jack Hays
Rangers. one of the most notable
events in the course of m adventurous
career was his killing of the desperate.
Gillespie, near Luling. about four years
ago. All the other officers but Captain
Ed. Stevens demurred nj making
this arrest, and ere he succeeded in
eiTcctng his purpose he was wounded in
the arm. The wound was of so serious
q character that amputation was rem
dered necessary.
For more than - years Captain Ste
vens has been connected with the
Sherin's office, either as Deputy or
Sheriff. He has a record of being q fear
less man, and always to be found on the
side of law and order. In the bosom Of
his family he was one of the kindest Of
husbands and fathers. To the outside
world he was Of reserved and cold dis
position, never very lOquaoious,
but at the same time he was courteous
to all. For some time past he has been
suffering from the effects of his manned
limb, the wound having lately reopened,
and his suilerings were intense. Re-
Gently he was attacked with gastric
fever and was suffering from that dis
ease at the time of his death. The age
Of Captain Stevens was %, and he leaves
wife, three daughters and four sons to
mourn his loss. The funeral will take
place at O'Clock this afternoon.
