second reading. The District Bank
Bill received its quietus--lhe Senate
having refused TO reconsider the vote re-
jecting it.
In the House., the whole day was con-
sumed in reading the reports Of the ma
Jority and minority Of the committee on
elections, concerning the New Jersey
case. The majority report ended with
n resolution declaring the sitting mem
bers duly elected, which was agreed to
by the House, yeas lO2, nays 92-
scarcely any of the Wings voting.
The SENATE, OH Friday, July Twas
engaged on the district bank bill again,
but to no good purpose. 1t also had
under consideration IA bill Tor amending
The charter Of the city of Washington,
by destroying all customary qualiiica-
lions for the right Of suffrage, SC. abro-
eating poll lists, enrolment Of voters,
sc. On Saturday it was laid over until
next session. The army appropriation
bill was discussed and passed, with some
extraordinary provisions. MIR. Tall
nadge attempted in vain to obtain IL far
ther appropriation for the improvement
Of the Hudson river.
In the HOUSE, tho committee OIL cleo
tions reported on the case Of the contested
election Of OsInyn Baker, (whig) from
the 9th distric. of Massachusetts. No
proof Of Mr.. Bakers right, and the re-
port was in his favor. The majority Of
the election committee reported in favor
Of Mr.. MAYORS keeping his seat, and
against Mr.. lngersoll. The minority
presented u counter report. A very in
tcrcstius debate was had upon The Indian
appropriation bill. Mr.. Bell made q
strong effort in favor Of the right Of the
Cherokecs to selfgovernment. But TO
no purpose. Their claims were disre-
garded-and bill passed, which it is
believed will lead to war. Many i'm
portant sub bjccts were passed upon. In
The navy appropriation bill, the aPPro.
priation for dry dock in the irbor Of
New York was rejected on Saturday.

"a proper consideration for their si-
aaiion, cOmmisSe,aiion for Their misf for
iuncs, and regard for the character Of The
country, hare guided IN The erecution Of
he iams and Indian treaties, by which
their lille TO nineieen millions Of acres Of
land, has been criinguishcd.
The history Of the present Indian
War, is still fresh in the recollection Of
almost every man. 1t grew out of II
long course of injustice, cruelty, op-
preston and plundor, on the part Of
the State of Georgia, unparalleled since
the days of the Spanish American con-
quests. Instead of executing the laws
Of tho United States, and compelling
that refractory State to obedience, as
he did in the case Of South Carolina,
General Jackson with characteristic
=" commisseration" for this poor, degra-
ded, injured and nearly exterminatcd
race, at once enlisted all his energies
still farther to oppress them; and not
only to compel them tamcly to submit
to the rcquisilions of Georgia, but also
to dispose Of their Nineteen Millions of
acres, their Birth places, and the bones
Of their ancestors, on such conditions
as his avarice suggested. 1t is true, n
few individuals Of each tribe was found
ready to sell their country and their
people for Rum and Gold, but the great
majority refused to acknowledge them,
and sent others protesting against those
treaties, refusing TO dispose Of their
lands or the ashes Of their ancestors,
and warning their oppress6rs Of tho
consequences. Finding, at length, the
President was bent upon their destruc-
ton, they so far yielded as to make terms
to every man of honorable mind, suili-
ciontly hu,nlitating; and which any
other than the King Democrat must
have listened to at least with respect
and some small degree Of sympathy I;

LOUISIANA SAFE -!

The GOOD ne,us from Louisiana" as
the Rhode Island Republican Of yester-
day proclaimed to its readers, is thus
briefly explained in the N. Y. Evening
Express of Tuesday, and confirmed by
accounts from other papers Of the same
date.
"The news from Louisiana is highly
encouraging, and settles the question
in regard to her electoral vote in favor
Of Harrison. The Wing majority in
the first district will be about 1000 =
gain of more than 1000 since last year.
In tho second district the run is very
close, and the ma ojority either way will
be only nominal; and in the third the
Locoloco majority will not exceed three
or four hundred. The State is good
for 1000 majority for HARRISON .
MARK" that Mr.. Republican, as
you seem to be anxious to make your
mork somewhere.
The Legislature is Wing in both
bl ranches. This secures the election OF
a Wing u. 5. Senator in the room Of
Mr.. Mouton.

Loco FocoIsM IN CoURT.-It is stated
that the testimony that Griffith killed
Laughlin at tho Baltimore Wing Con-
veu,ion, was positive at his late trial in
iha, city. A credible witness swore
that but one blow was struck by Griffith,
yet the Jury without leaving the box
rendered verdict Of not guilty! The
correspondent Of the Courier says the
Jury, by liberal exercise of the right
Of challenge, was reduced to pure Loco
Focoism, every nIan on 1t being oil that
caste!
The Attorney General on "Wednesday
discharged the other persons charged
us participating in this murder-remar-
king that as jury had acquitted Griffith,
after he had produced witness who saw
him strike the fatal blow, it would be
impossible to convict the others, as ac-
ccssarlcs.

THE BRITISH QUEEN.
TWcnty-six days later from

The Steamship British Queen, Cap
tain Roberts, arrived this morning from
London, via Portsmouth, after a pas
sngc Of sixteen days and twelve hours.
Our London papers are to the first Of
July, and Liverpool to the 30th Of June,

While we have had warm weather in
this city, and generally very light winds,
we are informed by a passenger that
this noble ship has performed tho pas
sage against continued succession of
strong head winds and sea, without any
interInssion n--such weather as is very
unusual at this season of the year BY
reference to the log it will be seen that
her steaming has been very uniform,
furnishing incontestible proof OF her su-
periOr qualities.
The steamship President was nearly
ready, and was TO make her trial trip on
the l2,h Of July, and would positively
sail from Liverpool OH the lst Of Au-
gust Tor New York. She is the chef

on its way to Hyde Park, and as it came
abreast OF him fired deliberately twice,

taking effect. lie was Immediately
S, lied, and committed for trial on the
charge Of high treason. Papers Of a
reasonable character were found at his
lodgings, indicating the existence Of n
secret society under the name Of Young

NEW oRK April ZUh, iS4O.
The papers of to-day viii give you full &C
counts of the news from England, by the packet
ship U. States, arrived yesterday in 20 days
from Liverpool
The bill which has been. pending in our Iegis-
lature, making further appropriations for the
construction of the public works in this State,
has finally passed both branches, aAd wants but
the signature of the Governor, TO become law.
Every effort of the administration party has been
used TO defeat the passage of this bill, but the
friends of the interests Of the State have triumph
ed over the destructves. The bill grants fur
Their appropriations for the Genessee valley and
Black River Canal, and provides for the COM
pletion of the enlarged Erie Canal to Utica, and
through the cities and large villages west of Uu-
ca it also suspendS the work on the long levels
between Syracuse and Utica, and between ROch-
ester and Lockport, until the financial condition
oftfe Stale will Authorize an entire completion
of the whole line.
The bank note redemption bill, as is called,
has alSo passed both branches of the Legislature.
This bill requires all the banks in the Stale to
redeem their notes either in New York or Al
bany, al one half of one per cent discount.
There is great scarcity Of general news, the
sole absorbing Topic with which every mind is
filled, and every heart is thrObbng is the cleo
ton in Virginia. The collector on Saturday

VIRGINIA ELECTION.

The returns come in strongly from Virginia, and
probably several days will elapsc before we shall
know the exact state of parties in the Legislature;
but enough is already KNOWN to satisfy us that the
State is against the administration on the popular
vote, as well as in the Legislature.
The reports from the western part of the State,
speak of diminished maorities in every county for
instance in Monongalia Co, when they had In 1886
372 majority they have about LOON Harrison,
their majority it is reported has been reduced two
hundred.

'otal,

This treaty contains the following provision;
leThe several reservations secured under this ar-
lc may be sold with the consent Of the President OF
the United States ~
In letter addressed to the President, dated 18th
of February, 1882 General Cass who understood the
Indian character well, says:
SsThe Indians easily swayed by others, and like
children if the immediate possession of iavorlte OBJ
ect is not obtained it loses much Of its value IN their
estimation"
With this knowledge of their character, why did
Major Eaton for these Indians more than half
a million acres of the choice land of Mississippi
The object Of the treaty to extinguish their title
and to remove them west of the Mississippi. Why
did he give them better title, by permitting them to
SELL by consent Of tie President, the land thus re-
served2 Ifto speculate wrong, why did he open
50 wide field for speculation? The answer is CIV
en- in the fact that Major Eaton's confidential ir1ends
were the first to embark in the speculation; that they
formed companies borrowed money from the 6nraks'
o,d5ro i1.irid,,als and went largely into the Pur
chase of Indian lands. Such was the inducements
however that other parties entered into competloh
with them and the collision brought to light nuine-
rous frauds some of which referred to IN docu-
,nent .beSore u.s. from which submit lew eS-
etrsats tomorrow This is a fruitful field, and we
will explore it.
