We think the friends of that eminent gabbler had better muzzle him. General Joseph E. Johnston kick- ed fearfully when General R. E. Lee was placed in command over him by ex-President Davis. The subsequent military exploits of Gen. Lee and Johnston during the late war illustrates the good judgement of the ex-President. Gen. Lee, al- most without an equal in the annals of history, counting his victories by the score, while Gen. Johnston never won 2 battle. A special to the Kansas City Times of Dec. 27, from Wichita, Kan., says: Captain D. L. Payne arrived here fresh from Oklahome. He reports every thing in the terri- tory as booming, and a large number of people in the territory, concen- trating upon the ceded lands at an early day. that a number of boomers have been ejected from the tgrritory by Federal authorities is entirely absurd. He is confident of the success of tne Okla- homa project, and will return ina ew days to Oklahoma. It is thought by some that ex-Sena- tor Conkling will be a candidate for governor of the great State of New York at the next election in that State, which takes place next fall. The ex-Senator never been before the people of that State, we believe, for any State office, and it may be that he conceives that as the head of the State ticket in the nex canvass an opportunity will be af- torded to work revenge on some aspiring Half Breed, who, in the recent past put the knife to the ex-Senator. In this venture he would have the support and backing of President Arthur, we believe, and Cornell, the present incumbent, however much he might desire to head the Republican forces, would be ordered to take a back seat. has him ——— The opinion prevails in Washing- | per was then announced and we were ton that the bill pending in the Sen- | escorted to a seat at the table by Mr. | ate creating a commission to revisen the present tariff laws will meet with | our known weakness, and placed us | decided opposition in the House.— The fate of the measure in the Sen- ate is very doubtful.
