WASHINGTON. Jan. 30.-The government
employees are being paid their monthly sala-
ries today, principally in treasury notes.
Official adYices from the Pacific, show that
the Indian tribes, though peaceable. have
been much excited by rumors which reached
them of the destruction of government stores,
and it is feared there is a disposition on their
part to break out in open hostilites.
The Committee on Foreign Affairs OF the
House, are engaged in the preparation of a
report on Central American affairs which
will, it is said generally support the views of
the President.
The Southern mail brings New Orleans
dates of the oath. The steamship Empire
City was aground at the Bar on the Esd
three steam-tugs were attempting to haul her
off.
The Galveston Nea0s of the 10Th, says that
1900 bales of cotton were sold yesterday at 8
ID "a cents for middling. The demand
was chiefly for the better quality. The fresh
ct i'll Trinity river continues, and the trans
portation of the mails were cut off, The IN
dams have made foray into Erath, Bosque,
Palo, Pinto, and Carye counties, murdered
many persons, and stole a number of horses.
The impression was, that the Indians were in

Brigham Young.
(Heraid correspondence Mr. Clarkson,
the hearer of the Lecompton Constitution,

1t is believed that free State Legislature has
been elected in Kanzas. Much anxiety is felt
about the matter.
The House Committee on Territories will
report on the Utah affairs, and Mr.. Bern.
heisels case in particular, early next week.
They find nothing in his case duplicating him
with the difficulties at present existing in
Utah Territory, and consequently Congress
has no right to expel him from the floor of
the House. Mr.. Stephens of Ga, the char
man, will make an able report, in which he
will discuss the right of the United States
government to send an army into that terri
tory to enforce or carry out the laws against
the wishes of the people.
The caucus to be held on Monday evening BY
the Democratic Senators of Congress, is for
the purpose of determining on the course of
the party as regards Kanzas matters. All the
Senators, including Douglas, heretofore act
ing with the party, have been invited though
it is considered doubtful whether the Senator
from Illinois will attend.

INDIANA FREE SCHOOLS The Indiana
newspapers are commenting with much sever
ity, upon recent decision of the Supreme
Court of that State relative to the public
schools. There is a law providing for the
support of common schools on a uniform sys-
tenn. It having been found that the taxes re-
allied under this law were insufficient to sus-
tain the schools in cities upon a plan that
would insure efficiency, the Legislature some
time since passed an act authorizing cities
that were willing to pay, to have better
schools than could be established under the
uniform system. Accordingly, an extra school
tax was levied in most of the cities and towns
in the State, and thus an efficient school sys-
tenn was established and sustained. Recent
ly, the constitutionality of this law has been
questioned, and case was brought before the
Supreme Court, in which the Court decided
the law to be unconstitutional, on the ground
that, as the constitution provides for uni.
form system Of schools, law permitting cit
les to levy an extra tax for school purposes is
not "uniform,' and is therefore unconsttu-
tional. The decision is justly regarded as
most unfortunate one for the schools, as it
will have the effect either to break up the
schools, or greatly diminish their efficiency.
