GREGORY'S ENEMIES.

Tales to Chandler's Indian
Traderships Committee

Tales to Chandler's Indian
Traderships Committee.
WASHINGTON, July 19.-Capt. Henry
was called by the senate committee on
Indian traderships this morning. He
testified in reply to Senator Chandler
that he had furnished descriptions of
tracts to Indians with view to their
getting allotments for these tracts, in
which case witness was to make con-
tracts for next winters cutting. There
were twenty-five or thirty of these.
Witness understood that Sherman and
Casgriff and Early had been doing the
same. These descriptions were also
furnished to the farmer Edwards. Wit
nesses' descriptions were not listed by
the farmer, but good many of those
OF the others were listed. All
OF witnesses descriptions had been
lost or destroyed. Witness thought
the farmer had shown favor
ltism. In reply to Mr.. Blackburn wit
thought Sherman, Casgriff and Early
We're also Republicans. Witness had
no other specific reason than the fail
ure to list his descriptions to warrant
his belief that the farmer was disposed
to treat him unfairly.
ID. ii. BeaSer, clerk of the Chippewa
agency, was examined. He received
from the department the order to stop
the cutting of timber the 18th of March,
and telegraphed to Agent Gregory, who
was at Hot Springs. Gregory tele-
graphed instructions 10 do nothing
until he arrived. Gregory returned the
10th, and that night the orders to stop
cutting were written and mailed. So
far as witness knows and believes the
cutting was stopped as soon as the Or
ders were received, which was on the
18th and 10Th of March. Some of the
contractors asked witness, before the
order was promulgated, if he had re-
celVed such an order, and he told them
he had. He told them they could
continue to cut until the farmer should
notify them of the order to suspend.
Witness said it was customary for the
contractors to make written guarantee
to pay the Indians certain stumpage
price. 1t proved during the subsequent
examination that he meant that the In
dian gave a written guarantee, which
the contractor held, agreeing to sell the
timber for certain stumpage. Witness
personally knew this to be the custom
on the Bad river reservation. These
agreements were not filed at the agency
except in case of disagreement. The
formation tracts which were filed were
signed subsequent to the SO-called
stumpage guarantees. The agent re-
quired the contractor to furnish lists of
the Indians with whom they had con-
tracts. The prices named in the con-
tracts were merely nominal and formal.
The real price was that fixed In the
private "stumpage guarantee"

To the Editor Of the Globe.

that l ought to vote for Cleveland. In
this mind on the 14th day of July. 1884,
1 wrote to Henry Ward Beecher, con-
cluding my letter with these questions:
will the Independent Republicans of
New York generally oppose Mr.. Blaine
and vote for Mr.. Cleveland? Is Gov.
Cleveland man of ability, and is he
personally deserving of support"
By return of mail l received from Mr..
Beecher the following reply.
''First-As far as l know, the Inde-
pendent Republicans will vote for
Cleveland.
Second-I regard Cleveland as emf
nently fitted for the Office of president.
An honest man, of unflinching courage,
and able to withstand the pressure alike
of friends or foes, as to the honest dis
charge of his duty.

The administration of MIR. Cleveland
has demonstrated the entire accuracy OF
Mr. Beecher'S estimate of him.

RENEWING THE BOYCOTT.
A Move Said to Be Contemplated
by the Brotherhood.

CHICAGO, July 19.-The Times will
say tomorrow: A move which has been
determined upon in case the present
efforts to settle the strike on the Bur-
lington road fails, is the renewal of the
boycott on the road. An effective bov-
colt on the road at the time when
the corn crop seeks transportation would
undoubtedly be great disaster to the
road. ''That's what will be DONE" said
a prominent member of the brotherhood
to-day; 1--WE do not like to incommode
the public, but extreme measures must
be used when nothing else will do. The
brotherhood is able to keep the road
losing money, and proposes to do it un-
less the strike is satisfactorily settled.'

Therefore, section 1924 of the Revised
Statutes, which provides for their re-
movai by. the Governor for certain
cause, is not repealed by article 204 OF
the constitution, which provides for
the removal of parish or municipal
officers by judgment of court.
In the exercise OF the power given to
him by law, of removing public officers
for certain causes, the Governor Is the
sole Judge of the existence OF such eau
ses, and his action of removal is final
and uncomfortable by the judiciary.
This conclusion was reached by the
Supreme Court, Justice Fenner, the

ernor Willz of an officer who had been
removed, for a new appointment made

There were no means of Identification,

he was a white man or negro. A good

THE CONVENTION OF NORTHERN
SETTLERS.

The immigration convention OF
Northern settlers in Louisiana at New
Orleans was truly representative
body Of thrifty, go.a-head, progressive
men who have made Louisiana their
home and who are doing so much for
its development and material welfare.
Nearly every State in the Union was
represent ted by some one of their former
citizens, and they came from every
quarter of this great State with only
words of praise for his particular
adopted section. Thus 1t was that
every advantage possessed by LOUISE
ana was fully brought out and made
known to the world by what might be
termed unparalleled and disjnterested
testimony, for certainly our Northern
citizens would not misrepresent the
facts for the purpose of deceiving their
former neighbors, friends and relatives
to induce them TO come to Louisina.
This, therefore, is the very best of evi.
dence, and will be of incalculable ben
eft TO Louisiana. Our religious, edu'
cational and social institutions, on,
laws, the country, soil, climate and
health, and, in feet, every advantage
possessed by louisiana were set forth
most advantageously in their tru'
light by men who, by their difieren
callings in life, We're particularly au
thorized to speak as experts or scten
lists. Their various and valuable dis
courses, we are pleased to say, will b.
preserved, published and distributed
where they will do the most good.
The Telegraph expects to see man.
advantages derived from this conven
ton within the next twelve months.
