The Register in another place
frankly admits an error and apollo
gizes tlus'y:
The editorial published in this

touching upon the Dawes Com

says the commission have refused
the invitation to visit Arlmore.
They have not refused, but simp-
lY postponed the time of their

OUR SEN NrIMENTS.

Senator Hill, with the assist
ance of the republicans and few
of the Democrats of the senate,
succeeded in defeating Judge
Peckham. Among those members
who voted to slap the administra.
tion in the face to the unbounded
delight of the republican party,
was our own beloved Coke. Sore
and disgruntled because he has
not been allowed to hand out pie
to his favorites, he has voted
against the interests of his party,
not because Peckham is not quail
fed for the position, for his abili-
ty and good character have never
been assailed. The administration
