Removal of the Wlnneb0goeS, Sc.-When
the late rumors of threatened Indian hostities
reached governor Reynolds, he promptly APP
priced the secretary of war of the exposeh
state of the frontier. The secretary's repl
is annexed. BY this document it will be seen
that every necessary arrangement has been
made by government "to afford adequate pro-
lection TO the exposed inhabitants, and to re-
press the hostile designs If he Indians, if
any are meditated by them" We further learn
from the same document, 'that the Winneba
goes will not be permitted to remain in the
country coded by them after the first day OF
June next" and that General Atkinson has
been instructed to remove them should they al
tempt to remain after that period The state
will therefore soon be free from the only tribe
of Indians which can under any circumstances,
cause the least alarm. This long has been a
tavorlte measure with our citizens; and the
executive of our state has prosecuted it until
success has been attained:

trust the rumors are unfounded, and / an
unwilling to believe that the severe lessons ol
last year will be so soon forgotten by those H.
dams, and that they are preparing to attack
our frontier settlements. Sill, a proper eau
ton is necessary, and nothing is lost by due
preparation. You may rely upon it that The
government will use every exerton to affird
adequate protection to he exposed inhabitants
aud to repress the hostile designs of the Indian,
if any are medlsated by them. distractions
on the subject have been given to General At
knson, and the Department has directed thai
the Winnebagoes should not be permitted to re

first day of June next, which is the period fix

The sixteenth annual report of the board

lwithstanding the efforts of the enemies of the

known that still greater number are ready to
embark whenever the means of transportation
are provided.-Lou Herald

EiriSion ofM President on the proceedings o
the Court Of Enquiry in the case Of Lieute
n1nt RoDdOl h

The President of the United States has carefully
examined the proceedings of the Court of Enquiry
charged witt the investigation of the conduct of
Lieutenant Robert B. Randolph in connection with
his account acting Purser of the frgate Consiitu
ton.
1t appears by the evidence of Commodore Patter-
son. commander of the ship, that upon the death of
Purser John B. Timberlake at Port Mahon, on the
second of April, 1926 Lieutenant Randolph was ap-
pointed acting Purser; and that verbal orders were
given directing inventory to be taken according
to law of all the money and stores public and private
left BY the said Undertake which were about to pass
into the possession of the acting Purser; and that it
was reported this duty had been performed, with the
exception Of some stores which were slowed away

To this amount in cash. must be added to ascertain
what was really detained by Lieutenant Randolph,
the money on hand when the vessel arrived, the value
of all stores on hand, 6educting his profit those
sold to the crew, and any debts which might be due
to him for money lent TO other officers.
Is it possible that all this could have been Lieut..
Randolph's money! By acting as Pnrser less than
four months, did he make, by means unknown,

What were his original claims to distinction?
Was he clothed in the robes of riches or au-
thority? Did the busy breath of popularity
blow him, like some of its paper puppets, into
worldly notice? No. In early life he was poor
and frlendless; but he had within him treas

What were these treasures? His senses; with
knowledge of their use and application; obser-
Walton and experience as to their results. He
cultivated his senses and acquired knowledge
of things and their effects. He saw their re-
|semblances; classified these, and when he
perceived disagreement between them, as he
would have done with quarrelsome men, he
separated them. He cultivated his sense of
hearing by attention to sounds, so that when an
agreeable succession and meditation of them
struck his ear from a single or combined
source, he acquired knowledge of melody and
|harmony-thence he became Musician. He
studied men and their minds, but he looked at
them as things; he saw their incongruities,
their want Of proper classification or arrange-
ment--but having more power over things, than
he had over men and their minds, he smiled at
them, and often by apt analogies drawn from
the exercise of his senses, publicly, though del
icately, ridiculed them. This was his Wit,
his Imagination. He observed the phenomena
Of lightning, and recorded these as experience
