From washington.

Mr.. Wards ratification of the Chinese
treaty is received, as was expected. Naval
and other dispatches agree that he was cor
daily welcomed and Hospitality treated.
The impression is cow entertained that
Mr.. Meigs will be superseded in the Super
intendency of the Aqueduct, en- the ground
that he has had unusual service already,
and there ere others equally entitled 10 the
place.
The Indian Bureau will recommend the
Reservations to be sub-divided among the
heads Of families, so as to create a system of
individual proprietors, for the encouragement
ofindustry and morals, and abandoning the
tribal mode of aggregating maintenance and
responsibility There is confidence felt that
this will work advantageously. Reports
from the officers on the frontiers, and 9TH
ers, agree in the opinion that the Indians are
diminishing in number, and the belief is en-
tertained that in fifteen or twenty years no
considerable force will be required for the
interior. --sa st.sHsI

THANKSGIVING Don ATIoNs.-We see by
our exchanges that in the various cities over
the country, the benevolent societies are to
receive liberal donations on Thanksgiving
day. For instance in Cincinnati one of the
street railroad companies proposes to give
its entire earnings for that day, to the La
dies Orphan Home-in Indianapolis one
person authorizes the Ladies' Benevolent
Society to send orders by the hands of the
poor for 200 dinners. Upon our own re-
sponsibility we suggest to our readers that
the Ladies' Benevolent Association of Evans
vile, would be pleased to receive any do
nations of money which may be sent to
them. How many will honor the day and
benefit the poor by presenting five or ten
dollars

DGr The estimates of the War depart
ment have been reduced $2,ooO0oO from
last year, and $4,000 below the actual
appropriations made by Congress, which
were largely less thanthe estimates, 81, ooo,-
600 being cut off for transportation alone.
The Secretary proposes radical change in
the mounted force, by recruiting half of it
with men for six months, instead of Eve
years, thus employing them only during the
season of depredations, and requiring each
one to furnish his own horse. This system
would secure rsruits accustomed to arms
and horse, with a knowledge of Indians and
their habits. With a mounted force Of about
four thousand, the contemplated reduction
would be between three quarters and mil
on dollars annually.

aeg- The paid fire department has been

I
Beg The paid fire department has been
organized in Indianapolis, with good
prospect of efficiency. Seven horses have
already been purchased at cost of $40
each, and distributed among the companies
1t is intended that two horses shall be at
tached to each engine and one to hose
reel
We think our Councilmen are commit
ting an oversight in neglecting to purchase
horses for the steam engine. What little
experience we have had already, does not
hold out very fattering prospect as to
moving the engine with anything like GER
tainty-much less rapidly-with such horses
as are picked up in our stables, at minute $
warning. Three good, stout horses should
be purchased Immediately and put in train
ing. Two large English draught horses
might be defended on to take the engine
under most circumstances-to any part of
the city; which. in time of a fire, will never
be done by any four horses selected promis-
cuously out of a livery stable. Having
purchased an engine, and secured the SER
vices of an engineer at a salary beyond
that received by the most experienced loco
motive engineers, we trust the Council will
not run the risk of neutralizing, if not
throwing away this money by neglecting to
buy horses that may always be depended on.

ESH~ The Library Association want to
dispose of FIVE hundred season tickets to
the lecture course, in order to insure from
loss, and, if possible, create a fund with
which to increase the library. 1t Will be a
matter of considerable surprise to US, if in a
population of fifteen thousand, there are
not five hundred persons, who take sufficient
interest in an elevated course of lectures,
to purchase season tickets, when they are
assured that they will be more than doubly
paid by the lectures themselves, and should
there be any surplus, that it will be strictly
applied to building up a library which is
already becoming source of pride to every
intelligent citizen.
The tickets have been placed at the low
price of one dollar and a half in order to
insure large sale. For single tickets to
one lecture, the price will in no case be less
than twenty-five cents, and for such lee
turers as Bayard Taylor and Waldo Emer-
son, the price will be fifty cents.

SHARP.-A new method of swindling has
been tried quite successfully in Philadel-
phia- The honey is extracted from the
comb, and the cells filed with sugar. As
sugar can be bought for ten cents a pound,
and honey is worth from twenty to
thirty cents the seller is enabled to clear
from fifteen to twenty cents per pound by
the operation. This pays better than soak
ing beans plan that has been practiced for
some time by the hueksters.

HoMCIpE.-A man named PHILIP KAvA-

r HomCIpE.-A man named PHILIP KAvA--
Nah was killed on Tuesday afternoon, near
the Marine Hos ital, under the following
CIRCUMSTANCES:
KAvANAUH., who is a boatman, passed
the early part of the afternoon, in "Whisky
Row that prolific source of all our Grim
inals,-and, probably, drank too mnch
liquor He got into a quarrel on the street,
with a. fellow boatmen named VALDEZ,
whom he knocked over with brick. He
then started down Water street towards
Pigeon creek followed by VALDEZ, and sew
eral others, among whom was man named
FRANK BERHYGER. Most of the crowd
stopped, before going a great ways, and
turned backed. VALDEZ and BERHYGER,
however, followed on over Pigeon bridge.
Mr. .KAvANAH passed the hospit Il, and was
followed-lt appeared from the testim ony-
by BERHYGER alone -.-..--..
A quarrel was commenced between the
two, and HAVANA UGH picked up stick broke
it over his knee, and took one end of it for
a club. A scufile ensued, in which KAv-
ANAUGH used his club freely, but BERHYGER
clinched him and threw him upon the ground.
He held KAvANAUGH down by placing his
knee upon his breast, and was seen to make
one or two motions, as if he was stabbing
b i'm He then sprang up, ran rapidly to-
wards the river, jumped over the bank and
disappeared. The wounded man was seen
to raise himself up, reel backwards and for
wards, and then fall over. When couple
of ladies who witnessed the ARRAY went to
him he was dead. An examination proved
that he was stabbed to the heart. BERHYGER
was arrested about 9 o'clock the same night,
some three miles below town by officers
Cox and SHERWOOD. He had preliminary
hearing before Justice STINsoN yesterday and
was bound over in the sum of $1,000.

THANKsGIVING.-A correspondent of the
Democrat wants to know whether Governor
Stewart intends to appoint a day for
Thanksgiving this year. We can't say, for
we don't know. The Black Republican
States. and some others, have all fixed upon
one day. That may be all we'll enough,
but we don't think Gov. Stewart ought to
follow the example, and for this reason -
The New England States, and some of the
other free States, will all be treated to ser
mons by the three thousand disloyal preach
ers, the staple of which will be a denuncia-
ton of all shareholders, and prayers for the
dissolution of the Union This may do
very well for the North, the preachers and
politicians of which seem bent on bringing
about this result. We do not care about
keeping such company. TX THE UNION, the
people of Missouri would like to have a DIT
.terent day on which to manifest their thank
fulness to God for his many blessings during
the year.-,St. Louis Republican.
1t has been many day since our eyes
have fallen upon so contemplate para
graph as the above. 1t is demagoguism sew
eral degrees lower and meaner than we
ever supposed paperspretending,t to respect
ability would descend. The Republican
should carry out It's prejudices to their full
extent The New England States-all of
them-observe the seventh day, commonly
called the Sabbath. The Republican should
insist on the Missourians setting up "dif
fersnt day " for their Sunday If our feel
ings were similar to those manifested by the
editor of that paper, we wouldn't wear
anything made in New England, neither
would we eat anything the Yankees eat or
drink, for fear we might, in any particular,
appear to coincide with those three thousand
disloyal preachers

A RELIC OF TIE PAST.

Mr.. Thomas Chase, of Chesterfield. writes
a communication to the Virginia Index Civ
ing the history of a lockwood rule, two feet
long, and some hree-fourths Of an inch square
which is deposited in the Secretary Of States
Office, at the Capitol.
Mr.. Chase states that his grandfather,
whose name he bears, was IN the United
States naval service during most of the revo-
lutionary war, andcruised for some two years
and a half under the renowned Paul Jones.
In action, he served at one of the guns; when
cruising leisurely, was Paul Jones cabin
Joiner" At various times, while doing some
little Jobs uf mechanical work for Jones, hr
gave him a detailed history of his life from his
earliest recollection. MIR. Chase says he
could write this oct in substance, but it would
differ so materially from any Life OF Paul
Jones" that has ever been given to the world,
that he has some hesitation about doing 1t.
We wish he would make the attempt at any
rate, for the following extract from his letter
is calculated to sharpen the public interest
for something more:-Rtch DIS.
Jones was an unsociable man-prnhably
not a pleasant com~panion-d0ubtful fine had
proved a good neishbor had he been located
in the midst of community of farmers, but
he was a terrible fighter, and performed III
valuable service for us in that struggle that
tried mems souls" One OF his most famous
naval actions was when he commanded the
Bonhomme Richard--and encountered the
British frigate Scraps. commanded by Cap
tain Pearson. Jones and Pearson had been
schoolmates in their young days. but always
had a strong dislike for each other. They
knew each other when each was upon ms
own deck. and using almost superhuman ct
forts for each others destruction. They
smoke to each other in that hand-to-hand fight.
but not pleasantly. Suffice it TO say for the
present moment, Jones took the Scraps, but
Pearson sunk the Bonhomme Richard-the
only victory of that strange kind on record,
After Jones and his crew were quietly estab-
lished on board their prize, Is was usual,
Jones'sm men were permitted to helpthemselves
to clothing and other valuables, as their real
or imaginary wants required. After replen-
ishiDg his wardrobe, my grandfather, beng
q mechanic, cast about among the meclani-
cal tools, and selected such rs he pleased-an
adze, an axe, three saws, several squares. Il
hand vice, &C., with all Of which | have
worked many a day. and among others this
identical board-rule now in the Capitol at
Richmond.
This "board-rule" my grandfather made
an "heir-loom" subject TO the laws OF Eng
lish lineal descent" Consequently it is mine,
being 'the oldest son ofthe Oldest son"
