Important Decisions by the Secretary of the Ill
terror.
From the Washington Star, Sept. IO.

From the Washington Star, Sept. 1O.I
The Secretary of the Interior has very
recently decided two or three points or
appeals from rulings of the Acting Com
missioner of Indian Affairs. which in
volved principles of importance, viz:
ones upon the application Of Fletch-
er. Mr.. Folks Indian Agent among the
Winebagoes, for compensation for SER
vices rendered in that capacity for
month or two after his successors Zap
pointed by the succeeding administra-
tion) had entered upon the discharge of
his duties. Fletcher remained for some
time at the agency. aiding his successor
at his request. The latter was long since
paid for bis services during that time
The Secretary rules that there is no law
authorizing the payment for the services
of two such agents at the same time, and
of course refused to allow the claim.
The second case is another claim of
the same late agent, Fletcher, for COM
pensation as Commissioner for the re-
moval of the Winnebagoes from Iowa in
to Minnesota. Having performed such
services, he claims pay for them thus. in
addition TO his regular pay as Indian
agent at that time. The Secretary is un-
derstood to rule that he canno. be paid
in two capacities at the same time. That
he was bound under his commission as
an Indian Agent to give the government
all his time while holding il. It strikes
us, that as the law had been administer
ed in these two cases by the head of the
Department, the public interest is des-
tined to be much benefited.
This branch of the government has
heretofore been mine, as it were unto
which millions of money have disappear
ed forever upon all sorts of films. pre-
texts, growing for the most part out of
the difficulty of managing Indian affairs.
and dealing with Indians as other mat
ters are disposed Of and other persons
dealt with. If the Department will only
perSevere in saying mo-, in answer TO
questionable demands on Indian funds,
those employed among the tribes or deal
ing with them, viii. soon learn that here
after they must govern their operations
by rules governing the transaction Of bus
siness with the community at large.

"Nen Wanted,'

Yes, men are always wanted. The
supply seldom meets the demands. And
yet many complain that there is no place
for them--they can find nothing to do
they are not wanted in the world. In
efficient, lazy, unskillful men are not
wanted; but men who have made them
selves master of their business-be it
saving wood or preaching sermons-are
always wanted. A skilful mechanic sell
dom need seek long for employment
An energetic, upright merchant has al
ways plenty of business.
An able lawyer never waits long for
clients. The country has need of all its
industrious and skilful citizens. Its manu-
featuring and mechanical establishments,
its banks and railroads, its mercantile
and marine interests all demand intelli-
gent and active men to conduct or assist
in conducting them. And the supply OF
such men is not equal to the demand.-
Many promising projects fail for the want
of capable and experienced men to take
charge of them.
Let the rising generation ponder well
this truth. If they would take an active
part in the worlds business. and receive
a due share of its honors, they have only
to prepare themselves by giving diligent
attention to their business. Let the
young mechanic. instead of spending his
evenings loaing at the corner. improve
them in acquiring knowledge Of the his
tory and principles of his trade. Let
him not be content with slight knowl-
edge of business-let him study lis theo-
ry and master its practice. Let him fol-
low the example set by the great men
which every trade can furnish, and sue
cess is certain. He will not have to wait
for an 'opening'-he holds in his hands
the opening key. He need not seek fox
employment-employment will seek him.
Men are wanted--let our youth see that
they make men of themselves.

The CheapncyS Of Goodness.

"Give me health of body and sound

well. Cheap, too, is such glory and en-
joyment-too cheap to be accepted by
all--for, with pleasures of the heart and
mind, as well as those of anothe.
kind, the higher price is thought to
confer the highest value. What says the
poet Lowell?
earth gets It's price for what it gi,cS us;
The beggar is taxed for n corner to die in;

For cap and bells our lives we pay;

She screamed and fought. and in her

Independent Democrats.

We notice in the Logansport Journal,
of Saturday last, the proceedings of a NEE
ting in Cass county, called for the pur-
pose of organizing an "Independent Dem
ocratic" party. The meeting was address
sed by Hon. J. w. Wright, B. r. Keep
and others. Bylaws for the government
of the association were adopted. and the
usual number of officers elected, and sta
ted meetings are TO be held.
This association appears to be 3 ming
more nor less than a reorganization of the
-Fre6SoiL- party, under the new name of
-ndepcndGnt Democratic- party.
Among the resolutions adopted, we
notice that they approve of The principles
of the Pittsburgh Platform. The second
resolve says, "that we abhor the Fugi-
tive Slave Law, and will not obey is in
human demands" The fourth resolu-
ton, "!hat John l.. Robinson. Marshal
of the State of Indiana, be presented by
the chairman Of this meeting, with a
black leather collar-marked the Filing
ton watch dog-to be let at So per day"
1t appears 20 us all truly good citizens,
must look with contempt upon any asso-
citation of men who will adopt the senti-
ments Of the last two resolutions above
quoted. Men who will thus band them
selves together, and pledge themselves
to resist the execution Of the laws of their
country, have no right, to expect the
protection of law. nor the sympathieS of
law abding citizens; however objection
able the Fugitive Slave law may be 10
any portion Of people, they are bound by
all the principles that requisite to
hold the union of our states together, and
to promote the best interests of the
whole, to regard the laws. while they re-
main on our statute books, as supreme.
No man or conclave is justifable in set
ting up his or their puny opposition in a
rebellious manner, to the execution Of
law.
1t is one of the triumphant boasts of
our people, that here III these glorious
United States, we live in free country;
that freedom consists, in a great measure
in the acknowledged right of the people,
to enact, alter amend. or repeal laws.
not to resist their execution. If the
principles of an existing law are at va
rance, or its principles regarded as op-
pressive, the majority, have the right un-
der our liberal form of government, to
wipe from the statutes, the 0bjectiona-
Bile features Of that law, and to substi-
tute others. that shall be consonant with
the popular will; but the resistance of
the execution of law, IS not right guar
rantied by the noble old patriots and
statesmen who bequeathed to us our glo.
rious system of government, but an abuse
of them. As nation We acknowledge
the right of the majority to rule, and
when we deny that right, we stand in
open hostility to the principles OF our
own government, and are no longer enti-
tied to the proud name. of Republican"

CAUGHT By AN ALLIGAToR.--The little
daughter of Mr.. Burch, aged ten years,
living at the mouth of Old River, Texas,
was caught by an alligator, as she was
wading out to gather the nuts of the pond
li,v, and most horribly mutilated. Both
her arms and both her legs were bitten
off by pieces and swallowed by the alliga-
tor, until her body was left limbless, and
of course lifeless. This occurred near
the residence of Mr.. Sparks. AS soon as
the alarm was given the alligator was
shot. and his body was opened, where
there was found not only the limbs of the
unfortunate little victim, but also pair
of pantaloons. with pocket book In the
pocket containing some money.

owing to other causes than an increase
in the amount dug, We forbear comment
at present. For the month of August
we have to record rather short supply
of gold dust for the wants of parties re-
mitling, and we must continue to find it
thus until the opening up OF the hidden
treasures in the river beds. The last
week of this present month will probably
bring to market good supply of the fla
