BETTER Men

1t has been asserted that one OF the prime
objects Of the Know NotEings rs to secure
the election to Office of better men. How
well they have succeeded in Massachusetts,,
Col. Schouler, editor of the Cincinnati Ga
zatte, who recently was on visit to his old
home-Boston- testfes:
IN looking over the representatives cleo
ted, we can fix upon no'one who is fitted to
act as speaker, Among the whole four hun
dred members elected to the senate and
house, there is hardly a man among them
who can draft bill correctly. We do no
mean by this that they are ignorant, stupid
men, for there are many excellent men a
mong those elected; but we mean to say
that they are withoat experience, aud know
nothing of the bushes which they are abou
10 assume. This is the rock on which wi
fear tie vessel will be wrecked. A larg
majority OF the members are of the freeso
party, The Legislature will also be strong

Does Not Speak Well For Know
Nothingisnll

One reason urged in paliation of the
establishment of the Know Nothing order,
was to secure the promotion of better men
to offices of trust, honor and profit. We
much question if such result has been
achieved in any quarter. In most instances
the persons elected by the Know Nothings
seem to be men who were unable to secure
such promotion at the hand of any political
organization. The New York Tribune pia-
ces this on record:
There is report current that the new
Know Nothing Delegation to Congress
from MASSACHUSETTS is made up of tht
lightest timber ever employed for sucn q
purpose in that State. There are some St
irreverent and disrespectful towards dignl
taries as to say that there are more invlnci
BILE commodities in this Delegation thai

GOLD AND PAPER AS the importation OF
gold increases, SO do banks multiply, and
more and more pregnant become panics like
the present. Within the last FIVE years at
least $500, 100000 have been received from
California, and never has gold been so diff
cult to be obtained; never have the bits Of
printed paper been 50 completely piled into
every channel of trade. By and by, when
the people are made to see just how banking
works, iust what it is, and what advantages
it gives to capital OYER labor, the system
will come to sudden end, and gold and
silver will be the only medium of trade and
exchange. 1t is not too much to hope that
within the lifetime of the present genera
ton this most desirable result will be brought
about. Every panic hastens it; every bank
failure brings it nearer and nearer. Has.
ten the day!--Goleaa J:6srsonian.

The good people OF the country have 0su'
ally been greatly aversa 10 unloh o.
Church anl STATE From present inilca-
tons. il would seem that some sort of an
alliance is in progress between the two pow
ers. The pulpit in certain sections has Ger
tainly put its finger very deep into polite
of late. A New York writer is one of the
morning papers states that there were no
less than nine sermons advertised to be
preached in that city on a late Sabbath in
reference to the then approaching State e.
lection; and among the speakers at poIit-
ical meeting held in New YORK last week
we notice the names Of two city pastors.--
Neither Of these, We are happy to say, was
Old school PresbyterianS. Ii is true that
the object ostensbly aimed at, was the pro-
motion of temperance-a good cause, car-
tanly, but, in this instance, SO connected
with political partnership that it was I'M
possible for ministers to take public part
without euterinl the arena Of the political
strife. We have our doubts whether the
cause itself will gain by clerical advocacy
in such connection; and we feel assured
that mingling in the platform discussions,
under such circumstances, will not add
much to the weight and influence of minis
teriaI character. Even those who are to be
politically benefited lby such aid would prob
ably perfer that the clergy should confne
themselves to their appropriate sphere, an a
to preaching the Gospel, and leave the po-
litical electioneering TO those to whose proT-
ince it more appropriately belongs. lfmin-
isters may interfere in one instance, they
may in others; and if they are to leave the
pulpit to drag their garments in the mire ol
politics. we fear there will be a gloomy day

After considerable discussion between
Campbell Of Ohio, Skelton of N. j., and
Smith, at Va, the bill was passed-l26,
nays As.
The House then went into committee of
the whole on the Invalid Pension Bill.
Mr.. Walbridge, of n. Y, called the at
tention OF the House to the resolution direct
ing the committee on Ways and Means to
bring in bill abolishing the duty on foreign
ccal He advocated the measure, declaring
to be the true policy of the government
to regulate revenues, so as 10 equalize the
receipts and expenditures as nearly as pos
sibe. The tariff Of 1916, which many pre-
dicted, would not yield sufficient revenue
for the government expenses, had created
plathora in the treasury, and backed up
from circulation an undue accumulation Of
money. He approved of that tariff as an
advance towards free trade principles, but
in the present commercial crisis, he urged
still further advances towards those princi-
pies, and to relicve the country by allowing
the free importation Of foreign GOALS The
revenue for the next four years he estimated
at $40, 900 each, and calculating the annual
expenses at S38to40, 900, the surplus would
not only pay of the aggregate of the public
debt, but would leave balance Of $50, ,000,-
900 collected from the people, which he
viewed as useless and unnecessary tax.
During the last four years the importation Of
foreign coal has been 882,1 tons, and
paying duty of $59l,c 900.
Mr.. Walbridge then gave statistics of the
coal production and consumption of the
country, showing the Importance of the sub
fiect, and closed with an earnest appeal for
proposed abolition of duty. AS represen-
tatve of the great capital of this continent
it was his duty to press the matter as his

TROUBLE AMONG THE INDIANS OF
NEBRASKA.
Of The N. Y. Tribune.

Correspondence of The N. Y Tribune
BELLEVUE, Nebraska, Nov. TO- 1854.
Anurpleasant state of excitement exists, among
all the prairie tribes of the Upper Missouri coun-
try, which may yet produce very serious conse-
quences.
Tn 1851 a treaty was made, at Fort Laramie By
Government with all the Indian nations Of the
Upper Missouri excepting the Blackfeet' namely;
The Sioux thirteen bands; Arikaras Mandans,
eros Ventres, AssnebOins and Crows All these
tribes were to receive an annual payment OF goods
TO A certain amount, delivered to them at such
poipts along the river as they might designate
In return for these annuites they were required
10 reside each tribe within les own limits, and re-
main at peace with all neighboriDg tribes. Fora
year or two these stipulations were observed, and
the war spirit, which seems TO constitute an eie-
ment in the Indian character, lay dormant. AZ
the present time this spirit has revived anew, and
serious results are expected.
On the 10Th July the annuities intended for the
Crow nation. of which those for two years were
due them in all fourteen tuns weight. started from
