Drcistoss AS TO CONGRESSIONAL LAND GRANTS.—Attorney General Williams decides, first, that the operations of conditions subse- quent in Congressional grants of public lands oes not Gepend upon the rales of the commou law applicable to such conditions, but upon the intention of Congress, as gathered trom the lapguage employed in the grant itself. Second, that the grant of lands made by Congress to the state of Wisconsin by act June, 1466, to ald in copstruetion of certain railroads, in’ which it was provided ‘‘that if said roads are not com pleted within ten years no further sales shall be mace, and the land unsold shal! result to the United States,” is determined as to the lands unsold at the time by the failure to complete tae roads, as specified in the act, and that no Congressional action or judicial proceedings are necessary, but that such unsold lands will be reunited to the public domain by the publica- tion of an order by the Secretary of the Interior restoring them to settlement and market. The Indian Hostflittes. PROMPT AND SEVERE MEASURES NECESSARY An intelligent observer of affairs among the Indians, whose reports heretofore have proved reliable, writes from the scene of operations in the Indian country as follows: White Shield, a Cheyenne chief, eame into this place from the hostile camp yesterday. He was five days coming, and reports the cam; aboat 225 miles from here, near the border o: the staked plains. He reports the Cheyennes and Comanches encamped together, and on his way to this place he met a camp of eighty lodges of Kiowas moving to join the Cheyeunes and Comanches. Large parties of Kiowas and Comanches are raiding in Texas and other places. Big Bow, a Kiowa chief, recently returned from a sucesss- tul foray with 200 head of horses and mules. = weather was so Warm intny Of the animals ed. party of Cheyennes returned recently trom aco, with 7) head of horses, and report that they killed .hree white men. The wan killed near Fort Sill was killed by a party of Kiowas, to whem agent Haworth had issued ra tions a few hours before. White Sheild says that the men who were killed north of this piace were killed by Chey- ennes, and says further that the Cheyennes ar willing fo be quiet now and call iteven, but it the soldiers aresent after them they will make plenty of work for them. He says that up to the present time the Che yennes hayé had eight men killed, and many of their chiefs would like to come in with their people, but the hostiles are too strong for them. 1 think that the hostiles have between six and seven bundred warriors and are well armed and determined, and have banded together for mu- tual defence, It will take a strong force to sub- due them, and the campsign should be con- ducted in ‘such a manner as to make it sharp and decisive. I think there is but one intelli- gent solution of the Indian question in this country, and that is to dismount and disarm the raiders and then bang every one found wished, a couple of hundred Indian aconts coald be easily raised to prmaeny expedition. These scouts conid be found in the territory and could be taken from all the tribes. if ? 1 ; 3 i i z i H : i 3 i i é ef j f ae ! f BS i i, Hi if i fi : pI : : E tt a ges tie: vie Hl at Apts : Er i i : ty a i if g E E i i i ! & vening Star.

There are no new developments in this oo terious case, which remains as dark as it did four weeks ago. Not a clue has been discevered as to the whereabonts of little Charlie Ross. Philadelphia detectives are still actively at work. It is believed by both his parents and the police authorities that the child is being well taken care of, as it is to the interest of his abductors to look after his welfare. THE CHILD STILL IN PHILADELPHIA. The Press of yesterday says:—‘From infor- ion gained in police circles and from pri- sources it may be set down for a certainty that Charlie Koss is in Pmniadelphia to-day, and if not, he is not very far from here. If the chilé has been moved from this city, it is just posable that one of the men took it away in his charge, while the other remained here and endeavored toenter into a negotiation with the bereaved father to retnrn the child for asum of money which seemed fabulous. It would thus seem that the idea in kidnapping the boy was to se- cure money, and finding that they could not accomplish theit ends as easily as expected, and public indignation ranning high, the miscreants Tesoived to take things quietly and wait until the storm of vituperation against them died out, when, no doubt, further bargainiegs will be attempted. The men who did the work are undoubtedly professional thieves, as the large pecuniary allurements would have long ago induced @ novice in one or the other of the par ties to give the detectives a clue on his “pal,” turn state’s evidence himself, and escape pun- ishment. As the case now stands there is every reason to believe that in a short time, probably less than a week, something will be turned up which will give the case an entirely new phase, and show thatrome ore has bad a hand in the matter who now professes eutire ignorance of the scheme, and who loudly cries insocence, ANOTHER @ENSATION STORY. A correspondent of the New York Herald presents the case in a new light, and says the bitter abuse of the mother which forms a large | exsiqeee of the contents of the unpablished let- ers seems to hint that the crime was inspired by tome more dead!y motive than thst of ava rice, and the question occurs to the romantic reader, ‘Is there love, disappointment and re- venge bebind it all?” “According to the theory now advanced the offer of a restoration of the child tor @ ransom was meant by the criminals to divert the attention of the father from their teue object. While he was endeavoring to meet their demand the child was taken farther and farther away from hia home, and the traces of his keepers were growing fainter with the lapse oftime. By the artifice of the letters and per- sonals the fond parents were deluded into hope while the supposed revenge or other object was rapidly being consummated. ALLEGED ForGzrtes rx St. Lov ‘There was a good deal of excitement on ‘change in S Louis Wednesday, caused by a report that Alex- ander, Borman & Co. had forged cotton ware- house receipts to the amount of 100,000 to $200,000, and that two or three banks of that city have been victimized to the extent of $40,000 or $50,000. Borman and one or two other members of the firm have been arrested, and an investigation will be made. Bethdi Alexander yesterday made a full statement o* his affairs. He said that the first forged receipt: were made last December to prevent his sus- pension or failure in business, and that none Save been iseued since April. The total amonnt of forged receipts now out, he says, is $167,010. His assets are. he asserts, worth $280,000; his Nabilities are £313,000. He acquits his partners of blame entirely, saying they knew nothing whatever of his fraudnlent transactions. pa tactician ConoRgsstonaL NominaTIons.—The repub- ‘icans of the 6th Ohio Congressional district have nominated Hon.
