Reed l2th May lIIO.'
l have said that the letter is without
date And yet it has found its way into
work of rare merit, a date MAY 18th,
IT'S" prefxed, Eleventh changed to
'tenth," a dozen or more other changes,
and finally, the address changed to
Abraham Yates, Chairman of the Com
mittee, Albany"
A learned and esteemed friend of mine,
having seen or heard of the existence of
the original letter in the possession of
Dr. WOOdhOuse, told me thereof, and
said that it established the date of the
capture as on the eleventh, instead of
the historical tenth of May. Hence my
Investigations. In my opinion, Allen
wrote the letter early in the morning of
the 18th of May In his haste, he omitted
10 give the date of his letter, and when
he came TO state the date of the capture,
inadvertently inserted the date of his
writing. The distance from Ticonderoga
to Albany was about hundred miles,
which, probably, was accomplished by
the messenger in two days.
A review of the evidence must lead to
the conviction that the fort was captured
on the tenth day of May, 1775.
Second. AS to the presence of Arnold.
What Allen himself says upon this point
is already shown by his letter copied
above, to wit: Sol. ArnOl Entered the
fortress with me side by side"
But, the book before referred to
says "nor did Ethan Allen in his &C
count of the affair, make the least men
ton of or allusiOn TO Arnold as being
present until after the capture of the
fort" Aliens letter shows that he did.
In the History of Shoreham by Rev.
Josiah +. Goodhue-a most reliable work
by very reliable man-cOmmencing at
the point where Allen had given the Or
der to "pOise your firelocks," appears
the following: when Allen gave the
word of command TO march forward, Ar
mold, contrary to the arrangement made
at CastletOn, interposed and claimed his
right to take command and lead the men,
and swOre he would go into the fort first.
Allen swOre he should not, but that he
himself would first enter. The dispute
running high, Allen, turning to Amos
Calender of Shoreham, said: What shall
| do with the damned rascal? Shall put
him under guardg Calender, regetting
such an occurrence, at such a critical
time, and feeling the Importance Of set
! ting forward Immediately, and of acting
in perfect harmony, advised them TO set
tie the difficulty, by agreeing to enter the
fort together. They both assented and
set forward under the guidance of a
young man named Beman." .
''Allen and Arnold, followed by their
men, proceeded ON through a covered
passage into the fort, Under the direction
Of Beman. The sentinel unaware Of
] their approach, had not given the alarm,

The New York Tribune heartily en-
dorses the Frye Subsidy bills, and speaks
of the Maine Senator as probably the
best informed statesman in Washington
respecting the needs of American ship
ping" 1t adds; 1.-The policy of restor
ing American maritime supremacy, if it
be boldly undertaken and carried to a
successful issue, will be popular from

Occasioned by the sudden death of Sena-
tor Beck. Carlisle, McCreary and
Breckenridge are all men of first-class
ability, but the important position which
the former holds in the House will count
against his selection as a Senator, for
his party will feel that he cannot well be
spared from his present post.
II the Farmers Alliance and the
knights of Labor of the West, South
and Southwest should succeed in uniting
for political purposes, they could practi-
cally dictate terms in several great
States to the older parties. But it re-
quires great leaders to hold such mass
of men together, and in the history of
such ambitious movements hitherto the
trouble has been that the great leaders
have not been forthcoming.
The method of curing fever at Nicea,
the city of the creed, is described by a
recent magazine writer. A shirt of the
sick man must be carried to the priest,
and bottle of water must be blessed in
dervish's bowl. The patient puts on
the shirt and drinks of the water; then,
if he can walk, he goes and lies down
before the dervish, who steps upon him.
If he dies, fate has cause his death, and
if he RECEIVERS then religion has come to
his rescue. Little children and babies
are treated in precisely the same manner.
The reading of Mr.. Cleveland's letter
at recent meeting of the Southern Press

shout and cheer no longer" Comment.

'Such demonstration has not occurred

often occurred in Charleston, and if JEFF
Davis or General Lee or Senator Wigfall
or the Senator who was quite certain
that at some time or other he would call
the roll of his slaves at the foot of Bunk

similar presence, having recovered their
breath, these same gentlemen would
shout and cheer just as enthusiastically,

AGRICULTURAL DEPRESSION.

The Statistician Finds That Agriculture ia
Under q Cloud All Over the World.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-The prevail
ing depression in American agriculture
is treated by the statistician, j. r
Dodge, in the March report of the De-
partment of Agriculture. The prevalence
of low prices is noted and a feeling of
Encouragement in rural circles through
out the world is indicated. 1t
is, and has been, especially severe
in Great Britain, and is the SUBJ
ject of complaint, discussion and
official investigation in Germany, France,
Italy and other countries. 1t is present
in Monarchies and Republics, under di-
verse circumstances and economic sys-
TENS. But it is less severe here than in
other countries. Though the price of
implements, utensils and fabrics are
all low, the farmers interest account is
unreduced and his mortgage harder to
lift
The main cause of low prices is re-
and demand Corn and wheat and othes
staples are cheap because of overproduc--
ton immigration has increased the.
population five millions in ten years.
Intercontinenta1 areas have been con-
verified into farms, free to natives and
foreigners, opening millions of acres to
cultivation. Railroad extension has
stimulated production and overwhelmed
the East with Western products.

INTRUDING WHITES.

They Drop In PromiscuousIy Upon the
Cferokees and Choctaws.
FORT SMITH, Ark, March 24.-In the
past few months great numb ers of white
people have moved into the Cherokee
and Choctaw Nations and settled on
land belonging to the Indians. Many of
the whites recently ordered off the
Cherokee Strip have joined the army of
intruders.
Captain w. L. Taylor, of Van Buren,,
states that in his Judgment not less
than 500 families have in the last sixty
days left Crawford, Logan and Sebastian
Counties, this State, and settled in the
Cherokee and Choctaw Nations, and
there is at present a train of wagons
almost continually going into the Indian
country.
These people believe it is only ques-
ton of time when all the surplus land
belonging to the Indians in the Terri
tory will be bought by the Government
and thrown open to settlement. Hence
their desire to be first on the field.
Chief Mayes, of the Cherokees, and
the Governor of the Choctaw Nation
have called the attention of the Interior
Department to the fact of the invasion,
but no attention has been paid to their
complaints nor has any effort been made
to remove the intruders.
