MR.. CLAY'S PROSPECTS IN LOUISIANA
AND IN THE UNION.

A few days since, when the returns from he Fedc-
raj Bank city of New Orleans gave to the friends of
MIR. Clay the premature hope of success in the State,
the bee" the leading organ of Mr. Clay that
city, broke forth in the following strain of triumph
and exultation
"The Wings Of New Orleans have stopped the
bal of revolution that has overwhelmed other cities
and States, and now set it a-going afresb for HEN.
RY CLAY NATIONAL CURRENCY and
a TARlFFllp
This lgan over the Federal eiiy which was eager
~ repeated by the Fedora presses throug bout the
Union, was swiftly followed by the returns from the
State And mark the change of tone. The n. Y.
Commercial Advertiser, another Federal Clay organ,
thus censurs its friends for throwing the rceght of
Mr.. Clay's name into the canvass
"ln this untoward if not unexpected result we
have another evidence of the want of political wisdom
which characterizes large portion of the friends of
Mr.. Clay. Nothing could be worse for The prospects
of that gentleman than this premature agitation of
the Presidential election with his name at the head
so long in advance" "The Presidential fac
is hoi-ted in a State election in Louisiana inscribed
with the name of Henry Cay-and the election is
lost. SO it will be elsewhere unless the Wings grow
wise in time"
What say you gentlemen of the "Clay Clubs 2"
What say you of setting the vail a-gong afresh for
Henry Clay Bank, and High TaIif7"

SIR have carefully examined the account in

my inability to act iavorably upon it.
The regulations adopted In reg ard payments for
services rendered. &c, under the Chickasaw treaties
being so clear, VIZ: "that allowance will be made
uuess previously fixed by the Secretary of War !" and
as the President, to whom the said regulations were
submitted, declined making any alteration therein,
there Is no alternative left but reject your claim
which herewith return, and likewise the certificate
which accompanied it,
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

1t appears from one of Mr.. Kurlz's answers to
question put to him by the Chairman, that
the Chickasaw Indians have never received one
dollar OF the interest money which has accrued
on their investments amounting in the aggre-
gate TO $50, las 25, and that their national
fund is considerably in arrears so much so that
those Indians cannot receive anything from it,
until these arrearages are satisfied, which will
take some years. pages 70 & 79.)

FAMILY FNLNe.-There was an old man once
who had three sons and the old man was in n large
business, which kept increasing until it got so large
that the house couldn't hold il, the house burst and
the old man failed
Then the old man got larger house, washed his
hands of the old debts, took in his eldest son and
commenced all bright and new again In due course
of time the old man and his eldest son failed.
Then Immediately opened dashing new store, in
another neighborhood, richly and largely stocked,
being the firm of - Brothers and these were
the old mans two other sons A smashing business
was carried on--in due time the smash came and
- Brothers failed.
We don't know how the next firm is to be made
up among them but failing seems to be bushes
with them, and their business is famiiy Jaiiing-

The business transactions of those Indians
consisted, during The years 1888 and 1884 OF a
correspondence Of thirty live brief letters, as
shown by the files of this office. Mr.. Kurtz, as
acting chief clerk of the War Department pro-
per, is the author of one of those which con-
sists of eight lines. The said files give evidence
of four Chickasaw letters having been written
during the years 1885 and 1896, by Mr.. Kurtz,
consisting of twenty-eight lines, making an ag
gregate of thirty-six lines written by him up TO
lst January, 1887, when clerk was appointed,
at s i, 400 per annum, TO perform all the Chicka-
saw business in the Indian bureau ~pnd yet ex-
ira allowances have been tolerated by Mr..
Crawford, up to Sd March, 1889! Mr.. Kuriz
became discussing agent for those Indians in
August, 1888.
Question Safe what other claims, analogous to
those of Messrs kurtZ, Potts, and Mix have been
presented to the War Department for allowances,
when disallowed, and on what grounds far as you
know?
The witness states, in answer to the foregoing
nteuoga Dry, that, :" on the 18th August, lS4l,
Mr. kurtz, through the chiefs or commission
ers of the Chickasaw tribe, made application for
an extra allowance out OF the Chlckasaw fund
OF $500 per year, from 1888 up to that time,
which was rejected by the Secretary, Con the
ground that Mr.. Kurtz receives regular salary
for all his services rendered, fully adequate.)
Th, case, however, may not be considered
analogou, to the rest, as II is for rendering ser
vices which, by law (Uniled States, 20lh April,
1886, vol. 8, chap. 53) belong exclusively to the
Secretary Of the Treasury"
Ii will also be seen that William Miller, Esq.
of lst comptroller's Office, made application for
such extra allowance as above stated, which
application, on the l1lh June, 1889, about sew
enteen months before the allowance of Mr.
kurIz's claim, was rejected by MIR. Crawford

pended, (marked Az

Without rhyme or reason.

But it seems were mistaken. The National In

drawn up by Mr.. Bolts, twelve in number. The
10th article charges the President with "an abandon
ment of an acknowledged constitutional duty in re-
fsing render such aid to the constitutional author
rites of Rhode Island, when called on, as he hid
himself previously promised in his letter to Governo-
King sacred constitutional obligation resting up
on him" We differ in opinion with the President on
some points of national policy, but we had supposed
that in relation to the Rhode Island affair, every
Wing throughout the country would sustain Mr. Ty-
Ter. No good can result from impeachment We
have again and again asserted, that the pur
sued by great portion of the Wing press Immediate
ly after the second Veto was most unfortunate.
Holding indignation meetings
abusing vilifying, and burning in cfigy "our' Pre-
dent few months after we had created him. disgust
ed some discouraged others, weakened the energies
OF the Wings, and in the proportion strengthened
the hands of our opponents, and the cause, and
only cause, of our defeats last fall Go with this
impeachment, and we are prostrated-the result in
Ohio last fall will be realized throughout the Union
in 1874.
