Perfection Of our Legal Institutions.
On late trial for embezzling check,
in the Circuit Court at Richmond, it is
stated, tina, the Jury, most as,hcra farmers,
trad urcu detained from their fanossics and
business .or SixtccH days, without being
able to agree as toa verdict, and it was
believed they would never agree ; and if
they do observes the Richmond Inquir-
cr) il will not be worth, as Swif, says,
"a cherry stone" Tor one of the Jury
men had withdrawn himself from his
companions two or three times, had gone
home, and been as often brought buck
by the authority Of the Court. Yet, in
spite Of these objections, the jury were
to be kept together, until the adjourn
meut OF the Court. Such however was
the law such the perfection oi human
reason :" a compliment surely which it
could not deserve, SO long as it retained
the slightest relic of ieudaI barbarisn.

Department Of Var,
9Th Feb 1890

The Secretary Of War, to whom was
referred the resolution Of the House Of
Representatives, requesting the Presi.
dent of the United States to cau.e to b
laid before this Honse any information
which he may have of the condition Of
the several Indian tribes within the U.
nited States and tho progress of,he mss.
-sures hitherto devised and pursued for
their civilization has the honor to
transmit the enclosed table, marked A,
containing the number Of schools estab.
lishsd under the patronage Of the 90.
vernment, within the Indian county:
the number of scholars at each; the tins
of their commencement, where fixed,
and by whom established, with remarks
on their progress, present condition &c.
By reference to tho table il will appear,
that there are eleven principal schools.
with three subordinate ones, in actual
operation, and that there are in state
of preparation. and that the number Of
scholars, at the last return, at the prinei.
pal and subordinate schools, amounted
to five hundred and eight. On these
schools there has been expended $l5,.
827, SO, of which Sf7,447,56 have besu
on account of buildings, and the balance
Dc, $50, on account of the expense eflui-
ton. 1t is made condition Of the sub.
scription on the part of the governm'nt,
that the schools should be established
within the Indian country, and that the
system Of education, in addition to read.
ing, writing, and arithmetic, should, fo'
the boys, embrace instruction in aSrl'
culture and the ordinary mechanic arts,
and for the girls the common domestic
industry of that sex.
1t was thought advisable, at the com.
mencement of the system, to proceed
with caution, and to enlarge the sphere
Of operations as experience should indl'
cate the proper measures to be adopted
by which an useless expenditure Of pub
lie money would be avoided, and the sys
tenn adopted for the civilization OF ID.
Indians have the fairest trial E1perr
ence has thus far justified those whles
have been adopted; and it is according
ly Intended to give, this year, a greater
activity to the funds, of which mucn
larger portion may be applied to tuition,
the necessary buildings at so many
points having already been ersctsd
Whether the system which has pesp
adopted by the government, ifperseve,
ed in, will ultimately bring the Indian,
within the pale of civilization, can ong
be determined by time. 1t has oeen

HAMILTON.

Harrington, March 10.
The Senate was in session on Satur
day, but devoted the day to late hour,
almost entirely to the consideration Of
Executive business. The re organiza-
ton of the army, consequent upon its
late reduction, having 50 far as regarded
the arrangement Of the officers, been sub
mitted to the Senate for its advice and
consent, by the President, together with
the number of civil appointments which
are now annually brought in review by
the law limiting those appointments to
four years, have required great deal of
the time of the Senate to be given to Elk
ecutive business during its present ses-
sion.
1t is reported that some of the militia
ry appointments have not received the
consent of the Senate. They have oc-
casioned, we understand, much debate
and difference of opinion in that body.
The following re appointments have
been made by the President of the US
by and with the advice and consent of
the Senate:
Robert Stanard, to be attorney ofthe
United States for the Eastern District
Of Virginia.
George Read. junr. to be attorney of

Passing this declaration by then as who'll
ly IN authorized, let us look TO the argu-
mems OF your correspondent in support OF
position he has assumed, 1t will be seen
by those who have attended to what have
already said, that the whole OF his errors
may be traced to bis mi.conception OF the
source. from whence the powers OF con-
gress, in relation to the seat .of govern
ment are derived. He looks for them, to
the clause, giving to the national legisla-
lure exclusive Jurisdiction" over the seat
OF government; whereas, a fair rule OF
constitutional construction, would derive
from them the authority, vested In con.
gress, ''of passing the laws necessary and
proper" for executing the various powers
of the government.
Blu, even admitting the premises, that
have been laid down, do they authorize the
inferences drawn from them? The same
clause, which authorizes congress to exer-
else exclusive legislation, in all cases,
whatsoever, over such district (not ex-
ceeding ten miles square) as may, by ces-
sion of particular states, md the accept.
ence of congress, become The seat OF 60.

ers il also "to exercise like authority over
all places. purchased by the consent Of the
Legislature OF the state, in which, the same
shall be, for the erection of forts, maya

needtu buildings" Now if the first part
OF this clause imposes an obligation, to
continue the seat Of government, forever,

had been nlade. There was, however, a CEN
s,is taken, and completed under authority of
the State, of five out Of six of those counties.
From this census it appeared that Alab,m,
would be fairly entitled to at least 3 mem
bers according to the rule Of apportionment
as agreed to-and there was sufficient evidence
of that iactto prove that there could be no
danger Of the result being affected by an in.
crease Of inhabitants after the period of emu
mera,ion. The State of Alabama had also
another claim, from the circumstance that
Congress had frequently extended the time
tor making out the returns, and in the case of
kershaw District, in South Carolina, had car
red down that extension almost to the yery
passage of the hill. For these reasons the
committee had authorized him to state that
they had changed their opinion from that ex-
pressed in the report.
MIR. ARCHER referred to the constitutional
doubts that had been expressed on the a.
mendment proposed by the Senate-and, al
though he had satisfied himself that it was
constitutional, yet, on such a subject, perhaps
more time ought to be given for consideration
and before any further proceedings were
had, the House adjourned.

That we shall meet no mora!
And dost thou here At last repose,

The sharcr of my infant woes,

And shall we meier retrace again
