We are informed, by a late ar
rival from Eagle, that Rampart is
in decidedly bad repute among the
)** .
officials at that place. This is pro
bably true; but tile acts of a hither

The Officials themselves mutt share

taere be, for. the mhe.able ‘failure

It was only through repeated cora

vate paitids, hrth bhdted up by the
Forum, which filially caused a re
moval of this official. Send us a
mail who will endeavor to put a

Indians and he can be assured of
