WASHINGTON NOV. Q.

Chocta7o Dehutation "A deputatiou
this CITY few days past, on business with
| the government.
On their way, and when at Maysville,
in Kentucky, Pnck-shee -nu56ee, a prin-
cipal Chief, and aged about IS years,
stepped from precipice, in fog which
hid the chasm from his view. and trsc-
tured his skull, which killed aim.
| II Is gratifying to witness, in these de-
pulatiohs of latter times, young men OF
education and virtue, with talents to con-
duct the business of their nation, and
manners suited, in all respects, to the
polished Improvements of their white
brothers. There are two of this desGrip-
ton attached to this deputation. Col.
Folsom, we'll known as the friend of the
ischooi-system among his people, and Tor
the distinguished excellence of his cha
racter, and James L. M Donald, who
was educated 10 this District, chiefly by
the Rev. Mr.. Carnahan, now President
of Princeton College, at MS classical
school in Georgetown; and subseqo emit
| ly read law, in Ohio, with the present
Post Master General, where he was adj
mited to It's practice. Mr.. M'Donald
being on visit to his mother, after many
years separation, was included, by the
Council Of the nation, in the deputation.
We cannot but wish these people well.
They have many claims on our justice
and humaaity-and now that we see
them emerging from the ignorance of
barbarism, and even adventuring upon
our learned professions, every encou-
ragemen ought to be held out, and eve
ry inducement offered, to animate and
prosper their efforts.
The school-system under the special
patronage ofthe government is producing
the happiest results, and if it be we'll
supported, and its energies KEEP, in vigor
by such guards as experience may de-
monstrate to be essential, generation
may not pass away before our nation may
be honored in having rescued from the
cherries condition of the savage, hun
dreds of thousands Of fellow beings whose
claims even upon the humanity Of so ma
ny ages have been resisted, and them
selves made the victims of every outrage
which the keenest avarice has the inge-
nuity to invent.
Our ma ional character is deeply in.
terested in the issue OF the present efforts
to civilize and christianize these people /;
but when to this is superadded the claims
which arise out Of their AFFECT condition,
as a heohle, the duty becomes imperative,
and the call becomes loud upon US to
fersevere. t. Jour. -

been vacated by the Senate.
Presidential Eiectiou.--From the re-
turns in Indiana, there is no doubt of the
success ofthe Jackson ticket in that state.
By the returns in the Ohio papers, the
result of the election in that state appears
doubtful between Jackson and Clay
Verbal accounts, however, give the lat
ter plurality.
The Clay ticket has succeeded in the
three districts of Kentucky.
In Pennsylvania, Jacks has large
majority. In this state, tickets for all the
candidates were run. In the city of Phi
Iadelphia, TIE votes were as follows -
Jackson, 1854; Adams, 1901; Craw-
ford, 6oe; Clay, lo7.
To have an effect abroad, a Crawford
ticker was run in Connecticut. In New
Haven the votes we're as follows :---
Adams, 2s2; Crawford, T. The returns
from 90 other towns in this state, which
we have seen, give about the same pro-
portion.
AT Richmond, in Virginia, the votes
were--lor Crawford, 10; Adams, 70.
The Adams ticket had a aiority in the
borough of Norfolk, and Rock bridge
county.

exrediency Of amending an act entitled An
act 10 provide Tor The prompt settlement of
public accounts, approved Sd March, 1917, so
as to reduce the number Of Auditors or Ao-

On motion Of Mr.. Cooke, il was
Re3olrtd, That the Committee on the Ju-
dietary be instructed to inquire into the ex-
pediency of prohibiting, by law, the employ
ment of any person, except 4 citizen Of the

REVISION or THE TARIFF.
The House then resolved itself into com
miltef of the whole, Mr.. Condict in the Chair,
0n the bill 10 amend the several acts laying
duties on imports.
And the question being on the resolution
submitted on Saturday, by Mr.. Forsyth, 10
strike ont the third section offhe bill.
The debate ofsaturday was renewed, and
continued ill past o'clock.
The mutton was advocated by Mcssrs.
Forsyth, Randolph, p. =. Barbour, Fuller,
Bartlett, Ross, Mercer. Livermore, Cambre-
leng, Stevenson, and Foot, of Connecticut.
and opposed by Messrs. Clay, Stewart, and
Tod, the latter two Of whom offered amend
ments, which were not agreed TO, and the
clause was finally stricken out.
The ground taken by those who spoke Ia
favor Of striking out this section NJ The bill
was, that It's operation will be- direct in
Engagement of our treaty with Great Britain,
Of 1913 that treaty expressly provides that
articles imported into this country from
Britain, shall! be charged with no more
duty than those coming from other countries.
But, as England grants to her exporters a
bounty on certain articles on which other
countries grant none, and this SECTION proposes
TO increase in all cases our duty, by the am ount
Of the bounty granted in the country from
whence The goods are imported, its operation
viii, in fact be TO charge such English goods
with highe- duty than articles Of the same
kind brought from elsewhere and il will,
| Therefore, break ihe treaty and eomprOatt the
faith ard honor Of the nation.
