D }HE MAXWELL MILLION. Another Chapter of the Great Land Steal Engineered by Williamson. Secretary Kirkwood'sInvestiga tion Confirms the Robbery. Correspondence of Tire Birx Wasminaron, December 15, —When you read my former letter 1 expect you eaid “one story holds good till the other side is told.” Well, T will give you tht “other side.” You will find that it fully sustains all said be- fore, Let me first, however, inform you that Mr. McMains, before presenting his case to the department of justice, made thorough investigations at the land department, He had personal knowledge and experience of all ho alleged, but he wanted to make every- thing sure, hy secing how far the official records sustained him. He not only found himself fully justi- fied, but discovered evidences of frand he had not dreamed of. Maps had been tampered with; the names of rivers and localities had been ar- bitrarily changed. In one instance the survey had heen carried right across s _surveyed township in Color- ado, and the Picketwire river had been made to do duty as the Las Animas, Having these and other facts before him he went to the department of justice. MacVeagh gave him a favorable hear- ing, and referred the case to the de- partment of the interier for a report. Here is what honest Samual J. k- wood has to say, I give it in full omittis g only those parts of the re- port which treat of the right of one surveyor general to pass over to the already surveyed territory of another: DEPARTMENTOF THE INTERIOR, | Wasnr N, Aug., 16, 1881, Wayne MacVeazh, Attorney -General Sie: I have the honor to roturn the petition of O. P. McMains re- tusned with your letter of the 18th ulto., praying that suit be instituted by the United States to set aside the patent issued May 19, 1879, to Charles Beaubien and Gaudalupe Miranda for the lands known as the Maxwell grant in Now M » and Colorad The petition alleges gross errors in the survey, whereby nearly a million of acres have been illegally embraced in excess of the grant; and that fraud, and perjury, and subornation of per- Jjury have been resorted to in_procur- ing the location of the alleged boun. daries far distant from the original lines of juridical possessions. I have given the papers such exam- ination as the limited time would per- mit, and am persuaded that great rea- sons exist for assuming that the pat- ent was improvidently issued without suflicient consideration of the matters shown in the papers accompanying the plat of survey at the time of 1ts|y as)pruvnl, or of the protests and com- plaints of the settlers and inhabitants of the vicinity whose possessions were invaded and covered by the claims of the grantees. Tue testimony of the witnesses who profees to have identified and pointed out the calls of possession is in the highest degree loose and contradic- tory, besides being meagre and unsupported; and the alleged plat or' deseno fail to ° indicate any approach whatever to the purgatory or Las Animas river, or anyother stream taking its tributary water courses from the south, on.the con- trary, all the waters represented on said plat, are mamfestly tributary to Red river, and those on the north appear to flow but a short distance from the northern bouadary of the grant with that stream. This deseno was not before congress at uny time, and its authenticity is disputed by the petitioner, it being alleged that the same has been enlarged from the original #0 as to include a greater arca than was first shown by the claimant. Other manifest inconsistencies ap- car unexplained in the papers re- ating to all *he toundaries, which should have demanded the strictest scrutiny before the approval of the survey, By supplemental f‘ per dated 11th intaat, wKwh Mr. McMains desires shall be considered as a part of his original petition, he refers to certain anthenticated survoys returned by the surveyor general of Colorado, in an attempt to connect and close the pub- lic surveys upon the line of the pre- tended grant, in which the officials report an utter failure to find the ob- jects called for by the grant papers as pundaries, in what is now the state of Colorado, and which report throws the most positive doubts upon the al- leged location of that iine, Tt is greatly to bo regretted that in a case involving an nnmense area of territc and such grave complica- tions of individual and public inter- est, as well of jurisdiction and author- ity, tho seemingly improvident issue of & patent has placed the whole mat ter beyond tho power of this depart- ment to correct, It may bo extremely difficult to so bring the subject before the judiciary tribunals as to enable a thorough sift- ing audintelligent action to be lad upon the whole matter; but if in your Jjudgment such proceedings can be in- stituted by a suit to set aside the alleged fraudulent patent and survey, I recommend that the samo be brought. ~ Very respectfully, 8.

How We Got a Shelling BY HARRY M. KIEFFER, Christiag 8t. Nicholas, Dec., 1881 wears on without to roam about the writing letters home, some sleeping in the afternoon, and all of a sudden under fire for the first tine. of 8t. Nicholas some faint noise made by a shell as it flies shrick burst overhead or by your side. Sc river! For, up to that time, I had a very poor, old-fashioned iden of what a shiell was like, having derived it probably from accounts of sicges in tho Mexican war. I had thought a_shell was a hollow ball of iron, filled with powder and furnished with a fuse, and that they threw it over into your ranks, and there it lay, hissing and spitting, till shell burst and killed a dozen men or 80--that is, if some ventaresome fel- low didn’t rnn up and stamp the fire off the fuse before the miscrable thing went off! Of a_conical shell, shaped like a minie-ball, with ridges on the outside to fit the grooves of a rifled cannon, and exploding by a percussion- cap at the pointed end, I had no idea in the world. But that was the sort of thing they were firing at us now— {ur-r-r -bang! Hur-r-r—bang! Throwing myself flat on my face while that terrible shriek is in the air, I cling closer to the ground while T hear that low, whirring sound near by, which I foolishly imagine to be the sound of a burning fuse, but which, on_raising my head and look- ing up and around, I find is the sound of pieces of exploded shells flying through tha'air about our hads! The onemy has excellent range of us, and ives it to us hot and fast, and we fall in line and take it as best we may, and without the plensure of replying, for the enemy’s batteries are a full mile and a half away, and no Enfield rifle can reach half so tar. “Colonel, move your regiment a little to the right, so as to get under cover of yonder bank.” 1t is soon done; and there, seated cn a bank about twenty feet high, with our backs to the enemy, we let them blaze away. And now, see! just to the rear of us and vherofore in full view as we are ting, is a battery of our own, com- ing up into position at full gallop—a grand sight indeed! The officers with swords tlashing in the evening sunlight, the bugles clanging out the orders, the carriages unlimbered, and the guns run uP into position; and now, that ever beautiful drill of the artillery in action, steady and regular as the stroke of machmery! How ece, whilo the run- has prepared his ners have meanwhile brought up the little red bag of powder and the long, conical shell from the rear! heme! The lieutenant sights swered!

OmanA, December 20, 15881, o the editor of Tik Brr: Your correspondent was in attend- ance at the Methodist church on Fri- day evening last and heard the admir- able temperance lecture by Gov. St. John. The writer is not a member of a church nor a member of any tem- perance organization, but was at- tracted to the lecture solely to hear Gov. St John, 1 had formed the 1m- pression, from hearing and newspaper paragraphs and articles, that his excel- lency was a first-class temperance fraud, with only athimbleful of brains and egotism enough to be a clerk in a first-class hotel. But the people of Kansas, who are largely composed of New England and Ohio immigrants, are neither fanatics, naturalborn fools nor idiots. Gov. 8t. John now holds the oftice of governor for the second consecu- tive term and isa prominent candi- date for the United States senate, and will doubtless be elected. My pre- concioved ideas and his political suc- cess led me to believe that the news- papers and rumor had evolved many egregious lies, or else the people of Kansas had about as much common senso left as Thompson’s colt. The governor opened his battery on The Herald, because that paper fired the first gun, in its morning issue of the 10th inst., by denouncing the gov- ernor as a temperance fanatic. The terrible drubbing, thumping, mauling, lamming. licking that The Herald re- ccived finally coerced its editor-in- chiof torise and explain. But the interruption was the cause of an- other slaughter, and when the gover- nor had concluded the fragments of tho Herald's representations were so infinitismally small that they were scarcely visible. The fact is that Dr. Miller caught a most disgustingly able-bodied Tartar, and his perceptive faculties were not sufiiciently on the alert to enable him to know it. The governor's address consisted of a mass of facts and figures which told their own story, and were simply unanswerable. By way of argument, presuming the premises to bo correct, the conclusion was irresistable, Dr. Miller, knowing that he was most awfully showed up, venis his wrath and spleen on the governor in the following style: T Gev, JOUN A8 A SLEUTH-HOUND OF SLANDER. Governor St. John, of Kansas, was imported to Omaha by the Reverend Stowart, pastor of the First Methodist church, of this city, te preach the gos- ol of prohibition, on Friday evening ast. I * It would scem that the ire of the sainted Kansan, who seemed to be the annointed apostle of all the isms, was aroused by the printing in the Herald of & paragraph from the Leavenworth Times. , * * ¥ * * * * The perambulating performer on the prohibition wire made this para- gragh a leading text for the eveming's discourse, in which, as a sleuth-hound of personal slander he proved him- self the peer of any man who has been among us, By this time the little demagogue's little mind was fixed in a rage at The Herald for the rest of the evening, and he did not fail to abuse, lie about, and personally villify and slander its editor, at short intervals, from the be- ginning to the end of his harangue, in the midst of the plaudits of a crew of monkey-faced Mothodist bigots who had a monopoly of the pews in which they are ageustomed to snort and snore their holy thanks to Almighty 3| God that they are not as other men, Doo Miller's Christmas Greeting | | It was not, however, until the hound of Kansashad hrazenly “that whisky sheet The Herald | with printing “ten columns for whisky where he would print ten lines for re- ligion” that they became entirely happy and enthusiastic over this mon umental liar from Kansas. Then Methodist bigots were boisterous with applause in proportion to the size of the libel. The particular one men- tioned was such a notorious slander that it naturally awakened great and continued applause throughout the congregation, Tt is simply amazing that a governor of another state could prostitute an alleged Christian altar of an alleged Christian church, for the fulmination of such monstrous lies and libels as fell from the lips of Governor St. John in the Methodist church of this city on Friday evening last in the presence of leading clergymen and members of various churches of the city, without rebuke, and with noisy approval and applause. “‘The galled jade winces 1 have been unable to find a single instance, in the Herald's flood of bil- lingsgate, that is a refutation of any one of the many arguments used by the governor in favor of his consistent life-long theory and practice concern- ing the prohibition of the lignor traftic, The editor of the Herald has fallen a victim to his own wrath. He has gone east to recover from an attack of 8t. John's dance, and will subsist on fish diet andclam chowder until his brain returns to its normal condition, This statement is borne out by the following extract from the Herald's Sunday issue: “‘The editor of the Herald will leave Omaha this evening for New \’urk}.‘ 8.
