A STOLEN EMPIRE. Oollosal Robbery of New Mexico by the Maxwell Squatters. ro Million Aores of Agricul- tural and Mineral Land Deeded Away by Williamson, The Wiley Rascal Richly Re- warded by His Dutch Caporeeners. Vigorous Efforts of the Ploneers to Annul the Patent Corre:pondence of Tie T'xr Wasminaron, D. €., December 11. —1I shall not occupy your space at this time with a description of the opening of congress —a scene without a ceremony—not of the avalanche of bills, old and new, which overwhelmed the clerks and committees. I propose to make your ears tingle with a story of raseality which, if told of another government, would be accepted as evidence of a tyranny justifying revo- of no mean order, by the by.[@The department of the interior, ince Williamson left, has reported to the department of justice in favor of the cause represented by Mr. McMaine, The report is the work of one brave and honest man in the land oftice, Mr. Baxter, and is signed by honest Sam: uel J. Kirkwood. But Phillips, act- ing attorney general, till next week, has rejected an appeal to institute proceedings to set aside the fraudu: Jently obtained patent, though the petitioner offered to give a bond of indemnity to the United States for the costs, and justice, lifting the bandage trom her oyes, and dropping her oven balances, leers with out- strotched palm upon the gold giving bondholders, while she threatens with her sword the suppliant pioneers, Mr, McMains now goes to the press and the country. He states that New Mexico is in danger of being covered by fraudulent grants, that the doefeat of this gigantic monopely means the defeat of a hundred others and the opening to settlement of grazing and mineral lands to the PEOPLE to whom they of right beloug. 1t is to be hoped that the vigilant pross, especially of the west, will take this matter in hand. We cannot afford to become indignant and eloquent over the wrongs which happened centuries ago, such as the banishment of the Puritans, or the Acadians and leave this towering enormity alone, which ateals our birthright and sends our T'HE OMAHA DAILY BEE: whom was Jim Crain, in Skull canon, and was thought at the time that they were all killed; their packs were rob bed and thewr animals driven away. But a day or two after that the tracks of a Mexican were seon, going from Skull canon in the direction of Sanos, in Chihuahua. He was pro- bably the only one of the smugglers who oscaped to tell the fateof his comrades, and as the murderers of the Lang party in leaving the scene of their crime went in that direction it is morethan probable that upon hisreturn to Janos was if possible to kill those who had murdered and robbed his friends, and coming across Lang's par- ty, did not stop to inquire, but seeing them with a hand ot cattle, supposed then returned home. Altogether, it is horrible, and the last chapter in the tragedy, probably, more blood chronicled, ALMOST CRAZY.

The probable cause of this wanton massacre, at this date, of course, is merely surmise. Out from such in- formation us we have received, it is more than likely that Lang, Clanton, Suow and Gray innocently paid with their death a debt of revenge which the Moxicans sought to claim from others.
