Trading was rhlelly lowil , thu only notable exception bciiiK considerable selling for New York rnrly In theM"-sion. The seaboard clearances rejrtcd | to-day only amounted to ii , ! 9 * bush- CH , and this was from I'hlladrlphla alone. New York mid Hnltlmorc * > ti ! leported no clcnrancos of wheat to-day and Saturday. Meanwhile the grain is piling ill ) In the ele vators in this country. The heaviest trading to-day wns by Jones , MeCormlok & Bennett , mill by llutchiiibon , the former selling and the latter liiiytni. . Amonttlic local traders there tFcinvd to bo more sell'-is thun buyers , and thu country was not thcio to nny considerable extent to take the olfi-iinKs. May wheat opened ut MJ/e and held for n tlmu between fvlJ < and MJ < i' , then when the law increase in the visible became apparent , December dropped , with occasional slight reactions , to SIX1'- ad vanced to b-l't , mid fell oack to M1 , which was the 1 o'clock close , .lammry wheat opened at it'ViiiT't.c ' which was thu highest point declined to and closed at idjii' .

There was excited trading at the opening when tlrst sales were made at SIJ i" , while at the same time the heaviest local holder of grain was bidding Me for 2IXXI. ( ( bushels.

Out siders appear to be taking rather more inter est in corn than wheat Just now and u good part of the strength to-day was attributed to buying orders from the country. So far as thu local traders are concerned , the chief in- llucnee seems to bo icceipts. There was quite active trading in speculat ive way In oats early , chietly for May de livery.

The vMblt ! supply statement showed a decrease in oats of r.iKKI , bushels. The talk among oats traders Is of the unusually wide differ ence In price between oats and corn and , on thu oilier hand , of thu largu crop of thegrain. The pi ovision trade opened weak with much stronger feeling controlling Us movement than the trade expected. There was no great activity exhibited , yet the business trans acted leached a fair volume and the market rather favored thu bull side. Fluctuations were restricted to moderate range and , as compaicd with Saturday's closing , pork at 1 o'clock showed an appreciation amounting to fiCyTlUSe : lard to 7 ! . . ( 10o and short ribs to .

Julian Gives Some In- toroatliiK Informntiou on the Subject THE PRACTICES OF DORSEYISM. A Strong lleply to the Assert IOMH < > T Stephen W. Doi-Hcy A Powerful ArriilKiitiicnt of cvOfltHnlK I , a ml Hteallniii | Now Mexico. llt. In tlio Outolior number of the North American Huvicw Stephen W. Dors-ey makes what lie culls u "rejoinder' ' to my urticlu on "Lnml .Stealing in New Mexico/ tinil it n palpable misnomer , for lie docs not even attempt a reply to the mass of facts which cnnstitutu my imliutmunl against the * rogues of this territory. A brief notice of his pw- fornuineo inuy , liowevcr , bo il coined propor. In Mime respuutsMr. Dorsey is u formidable antagonist. Hu once held as-cut in the national senate from the state of ArliannaH , where he will Ions bo remembered as the genius who happily blended in himself the traits both of the carpel banner and the scalawag. Tie lias hold high places and wielded hu'fjo powers as u inirty loader. lie has shown uncommon ability in exploiting the mail service of the United States , and in eluding the hand of justice. Probably no man ill the union is so thoroughly acquainted with the whole business of "land steal ing. ' ' In this interesting Held of activity I believe he has a national reputation as an expert. His selection as the apologist and defender of the tribe of which he is the acknowledged chief , . is therefore altogether ap propriate ; and their cause will have to bo abandoned as utterly hopeless , if ho is not able to defend it. Mr. Horsey damages his ease in the outset by his bad temper. His personal alniho is too fervent and emotional. Ho should have remembered that the spaniel under the lash only yelps when it is touchingly applied. The article to which ho pretends to reply was dis passionately written. I only refered to individuals where my tusk made it nec essary. dealing entirely in facts ; and if Mr. Horsey had kept cool , anil applied himself honestly to the work of answering ' ing them , ho m'ight have had the sym pathy , if not the respect , of the public. Ho also weakens his case by dragging tarty politics into the discussion. Ho : nis < lone this without nnv provocation whatever. His effort to show that tlem- icrats as well as republicans nro in- vo'.ved in the exposures I have made islet lot a response to anything I said. 1 itive no dispute with him on that point. My article is thoroughly non-partisan. In overhauling the frauds connected ivith the Spanish and Mexican grants in Now Mexico I struck right and left , inirsuing every ugly fact into its hiding | ) laco. without the least concern as to ivhethcr it would damage this party or .hat. 1 think the purpose of Mr. Ior- ) sey in thus wandering away from the real issue is perfectly transparent. He has become tired of hanging on the outer wall of politics , and hopes : o regain his lost place of honor in the republican party. 1 svnipathi/o with nini in his distress , hut. no will lind him self utterly disappointed. The days of liis political glory arc past , because , as I am convinced , the leaders and the masses of all parties regard him as liopclessly pilloried before the nation as i star ronto thief. He smells of the penitentiary , and no fumigation is possi ble. To every honest man in the re public the mere mention of his name suggests the striped costume of the crow whoso fellowship he escaped through the miscarriage of public jus tice. tice.Mr. Mr. Horsey damages his cause still more fatally by his absolute reckless ness in dealing with matters of fact. In attacking me personally he succeeds in missing the truth in every statement ho makes. In pretending to give my pcdi : gree. for instance , lie says that nearly llfty years ago I was elected to ofllce as a pro-slavery democrat , and that , de feated for re-election , I left my party. Ho also says that after I had posed as a frce-soilor I became a conservative whig. These ridiculous statements will only provoke the laughter of my old friends. IIo knows that after begin ning my political life as a whig I be came a member and leader of the free- soil party in 1818 , and so continued till it was merged in the republican party in 18-Jfi ; and that I remained in that party till the Greelcy campaign of 1872 , when I joined its fathers and founders in walking out of it on account of its shameless misdeeds , in which Mr. Dor- sey was disgracefully conspicuous' . Ho says Unit in my eye "There was no public crime of which Ulysses S. Grant was not guilty , ' ' and that to his personal knowledge I denounced Gen eral Garlleld at cross-road in every - [ n- diana as a "thief , " a "bribe-taker , " a "bribe-givcr.and a "perjurer. " The extravagance of these statements de stroys them , and Mr. Dorsoy knew them to bo base fabrications when he penned them. I have in past years criticized the administration of General Grant and some of the actsof General Garfleld , hut in doing so I did not appear in the role of a blackguard , in which Mr. Dor- soy is always a very shining liguro. I refer to thes-o and kindred fabrications about myself solely as illustrations of the marvelous bent of his mind towards the habit of lying , and not by any means in self-defense. In this case Mr. Dorsoy is the defendant and culprit , and I 'frankly confess myself hopelessly loat. if I need to bo defended against any conceivable charges emanating from such a sourco. They can only tent ! to enthrone mo in the hearts of all hon est men. Ho asserts that mainly through my exertions nearly four hundred citizen's of Now Mexico have been indicted foi land frauds , and that every man trieil has been acquitted. Ho says "there is not a grain or shadow of truth , that there have been , or are now , frauds com mitted to any extent in Now Mexico under the homestead mid pre-emption laws. " Mr. Horsey makes Gulliver re spectable. As to his "four hmulrci : citizens of Now Mexico" ( if there wcro so many ) ho knows that I had nothing whatever to do with their indictment and that this was the work of the gram juries , aided by the district attorney and the special agents of the govern ment. Ho knows also that quite a mini- bor of these men have been convicted and that nearly all of those who have boon tried escaped only througl the Kiving grace of the statute of limitations , which innocent met would not have pleaded. The proof o their guilt was nmplo , and no mat knows this hotter than Mr. Horsey , whu is e\ceodingly : familiar with the worl of acquiring title to public lands through the perjury and subornation of perjury of scullions and dummies employed for this purpose. In this prostitution of our land laws to thcbaso uses of theft and plunder , I do not spcal at random , but on the authority of as ccrtained facts. I shall refer only U the proceedings ofii' " single term of tin United States court , held in Santa Ft .last spring , On the trial of muncrou ' parties' fur perjury uud subornation o lerjury in procuring land titles , and conspiracy to dofrattt the government hrough the comji't ' use of our and laws seine tyhly-clpht per * ons availed themselves of the statute * of imitations and thus' confessed their tuilt. The tesltinbily developed the act that very many of these men had icon paid from $5 to $10 each to sign certain title paperh'aiul that they never saw the land and never attempted to ) ccupy or improve H , while the rascal vho liired them totiWjMU1 falsely sold the racts to a cattle company. All this is veil known to Mr. [ ) oi > eyand that the lien would not Imvw escaped the pcni- entiary if the republican olllcials of the crritorv had done their duty in socur- ng indictments in seat-on. Hut Mr. Dorscv sajs "there is not a grain or ihadow of truth" in the charge that and frauds have been committed tin 'few ' Mexico "to any extent. " In speak- ng of an accomplished scoundrel of the list century Thomas Carlyle says "thero was not truth enough in him to make a cal tie of.1 I suspect that Mr. Horsey s his lineal descendant. But hear him further. In speaking of the right of citi/ens to take Kit ) icres of land and pay for itasdes-ig- iiited by law , at the rate of $ l.J.i per lore , ho says : "Tho person entering his land must swear that he is doing it 'or ' his own use and benefit , and not with the view of belling it. " This is true ; but in the cases just cited , which ire mere samples of prevalent Now Mexican frauds , the men who pre- endcd to enter their tracts swore alsely , and the lands passed at once nto the elutches of a cattle company , ust as Mr. Horsey is well understood to lave secured the title to his lands on ho Una do Gate grant. Andhode- 'ends this disgraceful perversion of the > re-cmption law. Ho says : "LJcforo , hetitle , passes to the pro-omptor ho ; mys the government the price of the and. " and that "the .government is not lofraudcd. " It is true the government Iocs not lose the price of the land. and. : hereforo , according to this logic , if Mr. Horsey can hire one hundred middlemen dle-men for a few dollars each toacquirc that many quarter sections of land by perjury , and convoy them to him. it is a egitimate business. The pre-emption aw , it is true , only permits one person to acquire KiO acres : but on the Horsey ulnn ho can acquire 100.000 , and that aw thus becomes the instrument ihrough which the great curse of monopoly which it was designed to pre vent is fastened upon the country. Everybody knows that the pre-emption law subordinates the question of reve nue to the policy of actual settlement and tillage in homesteads. When it was passed in 1811 the treasury was full to overflowing from the records of sales of the public lands in large bodies for speculative purposes , thus fatally hin dering the settlement and development of the country. After a long wrangle in congress over our ugly "surplus , " it was divided among tin-states , and wo en tered upon a new dispensation , inspired by the purpose thereafter to dedicate the public lands to ( lie uses of landless men who would perj-onally appropriate them in limited allotments , not revenue , but the settlement of the lands , was the dominating idea ; and this was after wards still more strongly emphasized in the passage of the homestead law. But the moral vision of Mr. Horsey sees nothing wrong in nullifying both there laws , and making them the engines of monopoly and robbery through the de testable agencies of .bribery and perjury. As 1 have shown , ht denies , absolutely , that any frauds have been committed under them in Now Mexico , and then brazenly defends the very villianies 1 have charged upon him and his kind. Such is the gospel of "land stealing''ac cording to St. Stephen. It is Uorseyisin , pure and simple , in its. unveiled gh'astli- ness ; and I turn away from it and mer cifully draw the curtain over it while I proceed with my task. He asserts that I have charged the supreme court of the United States with joining hands with the plunderers of the public domain. There is not a sen tence or u word in my article which can bo tortured into any such meaning , and Mr. Horsey , who carefully read it for the .purpose of reply , knows this to be true. true.He He says that my article implies that all the secretaries of the interior from 1801 to 188-5 , all the commissioners of the general land olllco and all my pre decessors in ollico wore dishonest and corrupt men. This statement is a gross exaggeration , and it is. moreover , a mere begging of the question. Quito a number of the ollicials referred to are involved in my exposure , and the rec ords of the government \viU identify them. Are my facts authentic. Mr. Horsey makes no attempt to controvert them , which he certainly would have done if he had boon able , but with up lifted hands and the whine of a convict , begs that the oflicials whom I have ar raigned as his accomplices shall bo shielded from the right of search ! Mr. Horsey says the committee on public lands of the house of representa tives during the time 1 was chairman , reported favorably bills granting lands to railroad corporations covering more than half of all the lands granted to railroads in the United States , which bills passed congress as a result of such report. In these statements he docs not refer to the vast areas granted to our great trans-continantal railways , respecting which ho makes no charge against me. Ho speaks only of the fer tile lands granted in Illinois , Iowa , and other western states , which were not granted to railroad corporations at all , but to the states themselves. The entire - tire aggregate of these lands was a small fraction only of the many millions granted to our Pacillc railways , by bills reported from the committee 011 Paeilic railroads and not by the committee on public lands. Mr. Horsey should alt-o have reinombored that even as to thc o' ' , moderate grants for which ho holilp.'me responsible , 1 had only one vote a u member of the committee , a majority of which made the report , and that I could not , of course , bo made responsible for the ac tion of the two houses of congress on the passage of the bills reported. More over , Mr. Dorsoy suj > himself that the land grants in these , ( tascs "were for the best interests of thp whole country , " and thus defends my action. Hut let mo ' admit for the sako'of the argument , that some of my votps are indefensible. Hoes that provo th Oie is not u land stealerV i , Mr. Horsey further holds mo respon sible for the provision in our railroad grants compelling * the settlers on the reserved sections to my $ : i.50 per aero for their lands , instead of the ordinary price. $1.1M per acre. Ho sayb I "thus added more than two hundred millions of dollars to the burden of the settlers who sought homes along the proposed lines of the railways , " while 1 put mi additional "two hundred millions ol dollars into the pocket of the railroad lobby. " I think I am safe in saying that this example of parliamentary al- iHightitiCfs hano parallel in the annals of the civilized world. Both houses ol congress and the prosidentof the United States wcro my playthings , and my diabolism had full sweep from 18" > 0 , when the tlrst land grant was made , till I loft congre-s' in layil Such Hashes of imbecility are really somewhat dazzling and spectacular ; but life is too short to bo watted in iv light with dissolving views. I must not conclude thcs-o. . illustration of the Hhiciil side of Mr. Horsey' . char- ictcr without noticing the displav ho nukes of himself iir connection With the . 'nil do ( Jrato grant wlitU 1 said on that ubjcct in my article. "Tho area of thl * grant , according to Mr. Horsey , its claimant , was nearly MKKH ) ( ) acres , it wnc reserved from set- lenient , and is so reserved to-day by ho act of 18-54 ; but when the forgery of ho grant was demonstrated in 187 ! ) , ind ho thought it unsafe to rely upon hat title ho determined to avail htm- elf of the homestead and pre-emption aws. This ho could not legally do , be- ausc the land was reserved , but the ommissioner of the general land olllco MIS touched by his misfortune , and in letianco of law ordered the land to bo urveyed and opened to settlement. Mr. ) orsey , who was already in possession if thousands of acres of choice lands in he tract , at once sent out his squads of icnchmen , who availed themselves of the forms of the pre-emption and home stead laws in acquiring pretended titles , vhich were conveyed to him according o arrangements previously agreed ipon. No record of this unauthorized lotion of the commissioner is to bo ound in the land otllco. What was lone was done verbally , and in the lark , and nothing is now known of the rant-action but the fact of its occur- ence ; and the intimate relations ihen existing between Mr. Horsey and the commissioner and his chief of surveys. ) f course , ho and his associates in this > usincs have no title to the lands thus icquired , and their entries should bo anculled , not only because the land viis reserved from sale by act of con- cress , but because these entries were raudulontly made , as will bo shown by nvestigations now in progress' . * ' These are exactly the facts as shown ) y olllclal documents. Now , how does Mr. Horsey ajiswer me ? Upon investi gating the title of this grant , he says 10 became satisfied that jt was fraudu lent. When did ho make this investi gation , and reach this conclusion V The ecords of my ollico and of the interior lopartment gives no answer to the liicstion. They do not show that ho oven made an investigation , but thu ontrary. He says ho wrote to the lion , 'arl Schurz , then secretary of the in terior , stating circumstantially all the 'acts in his possession regarding the grant , and asked him to send a special igcnt to make a careful investigation , ind turned over to the secretary all the > apors in his possession. Unfortunately or Mr. Horsey , these statements are un supported by the records of the land do- lartnmnt , and contradicted by them. They show that ho persisted in lis claim for years following the lirst agitation of the validity of his title , and up to January. IS7i ) , when the forgery of the grant was lemoiistrated. Ho did nothing what ever in investigating the inquiry which ed to this demonstration , which in- juiry was set on foot by Lewis Kingman ind Henry M. Armsin the year 1877. J'he papers show that ho was much dis- ) lcascd with their intermeddling with iiis title ; and that it was solely at the instance of these men that the land of- Icc directed that an investigation to bo made. In the light of these facts the reader can judge for himself as to Mr. Dorsoy'srevoronco for the truth , when lie says , "I exposed the fraudulent na ture of the grant with which Mr. Julian attempts to link my name unfavorably.1 The audacity of tills statement is fasci nating. It is. charmingly satanic.and it settles the fact that Mr. Horsey , in his way , is a genius. But he says that ho applied to the secretary of the interior to have the lands within the bounds of this fraudu lent grant thrown open for settlement , anc that it was done accordingly. This is what I said in my article ; but 1 stated further , that the land department had no power to do this. One surveyor- general had pronounced the grant valid , mid another imd declared it it to bo forgery. Congress alone could deter mine the question , and the land was ab solutely reserved by law in the mean time. Secretary Schurz and commis sioner Williamson knew this perfectly * and for this reason , doubtless , no writ ten order for the survey and sale of these lands was made , and the business was done "Ln the dark. " When such a man wanted the repub lican ollicials of the land department to violate the laws to enable him to ap propriate a largo body of public lands in furtherance of his capacity , they did not dare say no and tlie robbery "was done. ' ' Mr. Horsey knows all this , but malfes no defense. He ad mits the action of the land department , in response to _ his request , but stands mute as to its illegality. Ho knows , and so do Carl Schur/ and J. A. Williamson , that thataction was totally unauthorized and siieakingly performed , and that the lands acquired by him and his allies "under an illegal order now rightfully belong to the United States. In those statements lam supported by the records of the government , and no lawyer will attempt to controvert them. In such a dilemma as this Mr. Dorsey should have remained silentboth on his own account and in the interest of parties claiming title under him. Mr. Dorsey concludes his paper with a digression upon the water supply of New Mexico , and its "physical phenom ena of climate and topography , ' and ho insists th'at with very slight exceptions the land is jit only for grazing and min ing. Thisjs not the conclusion of a disinterested explorer and devotee of science , after patient investigation , but the plea of a land stealer , seeking to make physical peculiarities of the coun try the scapegoat of his sins. The way faring man , though a fool , can tee tin's. If ho could make the public believe that New Mexico is worthless for agriculture , it would go far to exonerate him from the charge of robbing the government and plundering poor settlers through the machinery Jof the homestead and pre-emption laws. It would also tend to smooth his way to still more formidable schemes of robbery as a great cattle king , through which ho and his confed erates could trample down and crush out both the stock-grower of small means and the homesteader , and thus bring the people of the territory more com pletely under the yoke of a grand broth erhood of thieves. The trouble with Mr. Dor.-ey is that ho believes the people too stupid to see through the game ho is playing. It does not occur to him that owing to his unfortunate sur vival of his own conscience nobody will accept either his theories or his facts. Although his reputation for succes-slul and brilliant rascality is continental , ho impudently takes the witness stand ns if ho expected the public would believe him. Hois pcvhaps the most pictur esque political reprobate now on public exhibition ; but ho seems wholly uncon scious of the fact that the interest fell in him is purely historic and post mor tem , and that the people only desire U get some idea of his moral physiog nomy , and what may bo called the scenery of his career. 1 trust 1 have done them some service in this direc tion ; but it has been the chief purpose of this paper to penetrate the dry rol of his fcolf-complaconcy , and by a little wholesome vivisection help him ctitoli at least a glimpse of his rcallincamcnb as others see them , and as indelibly painted by himself in the somber pig' ment of his evil deeds. If 1 have fallei in these friendly ollicct. it will be . Mr Dortoy's misfortune and not my fault.
