NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL.

This bill being before the House Of
Representatives Gerrit Smith moved
an amendment, " That no intoxicating H.
quors shall be provided as a beverage.
Ii is a notorious and exceedingly lancnla-
bic fact, that the armies and nayies Of every
civilized country on earth, are the nur-
saries OF Drunkenness. Mr.. Smiths
amendment was aimed at the heart Of a
great evil, and if adopted, would effect
a radical and blessed reformation. No
one can deny that a sober man makes a
better citizen, a better legislator, a better
soldier, and is better in every relation in
life, than a drunkard.
Sober men know what they are doing;
and where do men need 10 know what
they are about If not amid the perils of
the sea, and tie battle field If we wish
to have our army and navy respected, run
up the temperance flag and it will be done.
Our navy will then have a moral force by
which It viii command the respect Of the
world, and accomplish the object OF its
establishment. Drunken soldiers aud sal
Tors, inspire neither terror nor respect in
the minds Of enemies against whom they
are enlisted in behalf Of their country.
THIS reformation would have a wholesome
influence over every department Of civil
life. II the army and the navy dispense
with the use Of intoxicating liquors, The
legislative and judicial department Of The
government, would be ashamed 10 oonlin-
ne their use. Thousands Of fathers and
mothers would rise up to bless the day
when this needed reform is effected, by
authority Of the National Government.
then their hardy sons may enlist IN the
Of their country, and, have no en-
emies to contend with, except such as in
wade their countries rights.
The amendment was adopted, but after
reeonsidered, and rejected by the
vote Of the speaker.

The Palladium Is six column sheet quite
neatly printed, and very ably edited, as TAR
as we can Judge by one number. The cdi or IN
his leader says that be intends to devote the
Palladium 10 the social political and moral in
terc5s Of the people Of Nebraska; and TO unite
his efforts with theirs, in laying the foundation
of ciyal government, educational, literary and
religious institutions; aud TO make IL a worthy
representative Of the Institutions and character
of the pioneers Of This exceedingly beautiful
and fertile country, and to be 10 It's people what
the ancient statue Of Pallas was TO the
people of Troy, "DrrESsE, PnorrorfoN AND
SAFETY"
Now nothing could be more p%raiscworthv
than such intentions but we must confess that
we have very little faith in the editor Of the
Pailsdium's success unless he speedily clan
ges his politics, and Incorporates into the freed
OF bis political and professional faith, a firm
and decided resistance 20 human dcspoiism

fields OF the Territory which be processes 90
love so well. For we are sorry TO see that the
Palladium is in favor o, Judge Douglas bin for
the organization Of the Territory and conse-
qucutly in favor of the Introduction and estab-
lshment OF Of slavery there. II he has the
tue interest of the Territory in his heart-if

As we said before, the Palladium is very ably
edited. We should much regret TO loose so
much talent from the side Of liberty aud hui

greatly need the aid Of every friend.

THE PAYMENT

The annufics which for several months
were due the Otoe, Omaha and Pawnee
Indians, were paid by Mai. George Hep
ner, tie recently appointed Agent for
these tribes, on Thursday, Friday and
sata ay last. The payment was made
in provisions and ammunition; Of which the
Otoes, received "a 600; the Omahas So
600; the Pawnees $4,000. The method
adopted by the Agent in the distribution
showed an acquaintance with Indian char
actcr and customsl not often found among
newly inaugerated Indian Agents.
The method adopted, consisted in cal
ling the chiefs anI braves Of the different
bands Sgethcr, ana giving each one his
share Of the provisions, Who in turn. made

similar manifestation Of good faith and
obedience on their part toward our people.
Which sentiments were most heartily re-
sponesd 10 by the Indians.
After the payment Of the Omahas was
concluded, these poor Indians came for
ward voluntarily }, and offered to pay Mr..
sarpy a portion Of the debts due him.
They acknowledged themselves indebted
to him to The amount Of So 500, for goods
furnished them when they needed them.

"hANsAs WILL M FREEl"-Thus
writes a Kansas correspondent Of the N
I. Tnbune. We never doubted but that
such would be the result Of the free emf
grafton movement. Slavery can not stand
free labor. The very act Of wrong-.he
violation OF national faith by the repeal
OF the Missouri Compromised given
impulse to free emigration, that will
result in the organization of the free State
Of Kansas ten or fifteen years sooner than
It would have taken place but for the al.
ie mpted aggression Of the slave power.
