We publish the following letter from gentleman

that many important measures now before
Congress; but compelled to differ with him
as TO the probable result of the treasury circuIa-

eprocia,ons.-The letter is dated at Houston,

"KEEP THE PEOPLE BACKr'

When A. Plus Claudi,s hea rd the rnurm,lring Of
the Roman citizens against his uni ist measures,
he cried ont in his perplexity, "kcep the People
back!'' For a while. his commands were effec-
tual, and the swelling tide Of Indignation was
temporarily stayed, but his efforts to smother the
kindiing spirit ct resistance were vain and fruit
less-and in little while the unworthy Deccmvir
was hurled from his throne to prison.
Amodern ruler may something in the late
movements OF the People, to remind him Of this
sudden subversion Of Eancicd strength and Sc
curi;y. He has had frequent cause mentally TO
exclaim +" Keep the People back!'' But "siill they
come" From Main to Georgia. the rcbcliious
spirit Of the democracy of numbers" has been
manifested. From the wilds Of Arkansas TO The
green mountains Of Vermont, the thrilling voice OF
regenera,ed mill ions has been borne On the pas
sing brce Neither the promises Of gold, nor
the mandates of stern chefiain. have been
safIiciont TO "kcep the People back" They
have rushed OF the rescue Of violated Const.-
tution-thev have ga,hercd in their strength, and
sundercd the shackles OF supplying ido.atry.
Witness the work of regcneration;
In Maine, State begirt with castom-houses,
and oyerrun with Government stipendiarcs, a
majori;y of 10000 for the Administra ion has
been overcome, and the Wings have srium7hed by
500 maj ority.
Rhode Lstaud, small as she IL. mustered COO
for the cause Of sound principles and stands forth

In Ncr Jcrscy, the eiumbering spirit Of the
Revolution has been Terminated, and The sons OF
the Jersey Blues have proved themselves worthy
Of their sires. They. too have furnished a thou
sand "good and true,' over and above the number
necessary to PROSTATE the cohorts Of power.
Connecticut has given SYMPTOMS that when
the country is really in danger, her people will
gather in their strength, and aid the good work
Maryland is steady in the cause Of the Constitu-
ion. and will MT falfer.
Pennsylrania has given unequivocal signs
that the seeds Of Regeneration are quckening. and
that good fruit will be ripeneo for the general har-
vest Last year the Van Buren, majority in the

crease, no less than one hundred and nineteen
banks added in the short space of four years.
That il . period when you had no national bank
We'll, in the year 1920, by which time the ma
siona bank established had got into operation aud
got through tho cmba.rassmen;s Of its early ex-
istence, these banks had increased to three humid
red and eight. Now, sir, take the next period of
ten years, when the national bank vas in full, ace
tive, and beneficial operation, and you will see
how il worked 10 regulate and restrain. The
whole increase Of banks, from 1920, to 1880, if
understand the statement Of the Secretary of the
Treasury, Is whai2 Why il is remarkable. and
6 fact every one must dwell upon it; BY that
statement it appears the whole number of banks.
in 1880, was three hundred and twenty, being an
increase Of only twelve in ten years.
Now, sir, we come to the period when the bank
q the United States began to verge towards its
dssolution-wheni il began TO be believed, beyond
. doubt, from clear Indications, that il would not
b continued. Whit do you find thenl Exactly
what you might havo expected. From the first
u January to the FIRST Of December, 1886, there
were ITO new banks established; AMI where
as, in the year 1890 you had bat $50 banks
you have now in the United States, in on
~ six years, the period have before adverted to
ST. banks, tesidcs 146 branches. How much
does that give you for the last six yearsf Three
hundred and fifty five; being more than had beer
established in all the antecedent administrai ions
Now, again, sir,look at the increase Of banking
capital during the same period:
In 1870 you had Sl45,OOo,OO0
In 1884 there were added 55,OO0,OOO
In 1885 there were added $1,000, 900
In the beginning of 1881 there
were added 100000
IN the remaining part Of 1890

WABASH AND ERIE CANAL.-Thc remaining
portion Of this work. not before under contract,
which includes the distance from the head of the
Rapids of the Maumee to the Indiana line, was
let a, Defiance Monday last. The terms of
the contract require it to be completed and rea-
dy for use by the first of October, 1889. In two
years from this time, therefore, we may expect
to see the Wabash united with lake Erie, and this
great line of transportation alive with canal
boats. The win l. extent from the mouth of the
MIumee to La Favctte on the Wabash is now

ton which lies within the limits of Indi,na is al

opened to Lake Erie. Ohio cannot therefore pros

INDIAN DANCE.

Public curiosity was very strongly excited
on Wednesday last, to witness the novel
and extraordinary spectacle of an Indian
dance, which was announced in the Official
paper to take place at o'clock in the after
noon, provided the weather was suitable,)
on the public square at the corner of -Four
teenth street, near the Franklin Row. Long
before the time appointed a very large
concourse of people, probably 5000 were
assembled in the margin of the square
Carriages, gigs, vehicles of every descrip
ton filled with spectators, lined the contig.
uous streets; and all the houses and build
lngs commanding a view of the Indians
were also crowded. The Secretary of War;
and many other distinguished lunctionares,
were present; also large assemblage of Ia
dles. The Sioux Indians went through
lheir war and other dances, much to the
apparent qualification of the assembled null
'l'uue. The Indians performed their war
ana buffalo dance, while some of their par
W beat upon the drum. Some of their
chiefs made speeches in which we
understand they recited their warlike exploit
10 animate the dancers, as they jumped, :,
Yelled and whooped upon the green. ALL
the Indians who took part in these dances
appeared with their skins and faces blacked
or painted; and they wore no other clothing
Illan mere apron, eneircling their waists.
II was altogether very curious and exclt
ing spectacle. Some thousands of the speCI
'a'ors' however, we are sorry to say retpSI
I" nome without Witnessing it as expected
owing TO the extreme pressure ofthe crowd
ana their unwillingness to submit to tho;1
regulations which the police had made "a

and Black Ha'Ok, and his son were ais I

assured have performed their war and 9th
