Many evidently look up on it as, in homely phrase it is some­ times called, a goose that all are free " to pluck. The Government has uearly two hundred suits pending in Minneso­ ta alone, for timber stolen from the public lands, and has recently gained its first suit. It has three suits pen- . ding in Colorado, two being against railroad companies where the amount stolen is $275,000. in the roads Senat taking time b to force som „e of the subsidy Tall­ yman believes in relock.

Senator Nesmith once said that the history of almost every treaty tribe from Maine to Oregon showed that when annuities were sent to Indians, they arrived deficient in quality and quantity, if not entirely absorbed Or stolen by dishonest agents of the Gov­ ernment intrusted with their manage­ ment or delivery.

JOSEPH FRETT- McIIenry, 111., Nov. 0th, 1877. J®*Everybody has heard of the rus­ tic, vtho seated himself on the bank of a running brook, waiting until all the water had passed by, that he might walk over dry shod to the other side. That rustic is a type of a good many piople who have been waiting for the Bepublican stream to run dry. They have been satisfied from the very first that it could not last • much longejv YfSar atter year they have waited and watched, scolding and sneering, but Btill the tide flows on, and its volume steadily grows instead of diminishing. They can't understand it. According to all their philosophy--and they are wonderfully wise in their own conceit '--the supply should have been exhaus­ ted long ago. It is a "chimera"--their favorate word--they have repeated over and over, and yet ihe obstruction in their path does not disappear as all well-behaved chimeras are understood to do. And what is more, as some of these people are beginning to confess, it gives no sigu of disappearing in the immediate or proximate future. 'The toils are closing about Osman jPasha at Pleyna, and on the continent tb« conviction is general that a few day6 will force his surrender. As if conscious of the impending collapse, dispatches from Constantinople declare that the Porte has determined to fight to the better end, and that combined operation -will be attempting by Os­ man, Mehemet and Chevke Posh as.-- Moakhtar has of late admitted the •dangeps of his position at Erzei-ouui, 'but eheecs his people by the announce­ ment of a victory over the Russians yesterday, in a flglit lasting eleven hours, and the assertion that he still bo pes. to able to hold the city. Stamboul has been placarded with ap­ peal «for an uprising, which allege that; tSie Government is secretly negotiating for .peace, and urge the as­ sassination of Mahomond. The Rus­ sians have encircled Plevna with the telegraph wire, and are hastily con­ ducting a new bridge at Sistova. It would appear that the Turks are be­ numbed by the advent of November, while their enemies are but just warming gallantly to their work in the mow.--Jfogt LATK DAIRY MARKETS. WATEKTOWN, X. Y., Nov. 19th. At this market, on Saturday, the "at. tendance and offerings were large.-- The market opened with less firmnesg thtfn a Week ago, but nevertheless sales­ men still held at firm 13 cents, while buy­ ers would not bid higher than 12 cents. The result was that no cheese was sold. There were sixteen factories registered offering 6,689 boxes. ' UTICA, X.Y., Nov. 5th. The cheese market was duller than it has been for some time. With what was carried over last week and this week's offering, some 11,000 boxes were placed upon the market. The majority of the best factories refused offers of 12c, and again carried their cheese over. A portion of those going for­ ward on commission received aguarar. tee of 12c, LITTLE FALLS, M. Y., Nov.;i2th. FACTORY CHEESE,--Notwithstanding the positive depression in pricw, there was a decided desire (to sell to-day.-- Buyers were offered much more cheese at 12c. than t'ley could or would handle. Parties who, two weeks ago held over because they could not obtain 13c., would willingly have accepted 12c. to­ day. Buyers however were cautious.-- It seemed to be a general opinion among them that cheese will decline to 11c before anyfurther advance will take place. There are two lots quoted at 12}c. and 12Jc. FARM DAIRY.--The offerings of this class of goods fell off considerably to­ day. Prices, however, ranked the factories. We quote one lot at llc.,8 to 12c., and 9 to 12Jc., amounting in all to 270 boxes. Another dairy delivered to-day 110 boxest contracted two weeks ago, at 13c. BUTTER.--We quote 60 tubs, ranging 'from 23c. to 28c. At the latter figure there were only three packages, probably bought for private use* The average price was25. ri T> T?
