The nIichinan senator.

Mr.. Chandler, United States Senator
from Michigan, made telling speech in the
Senate on the 18th. The letter to the Iri-
5,ne says he spoke in opposition TO what
he characterized as the thirty million bribO-
ry and corruption fund. The proposition,
he said, was monstrous one, worthy the
brigand James Buchanan, author of the Os-
tend Manifesto, but totally disgraceful to
the President of the United States. The
proposition was made when there was not
the slightest prospect Of success. 1t was in
suit to Spain, and disgrace to ourselves.
But the President did not make it in
good faith. He had damaged the demo-
cratic party, and wanted this thirty million
bribery and corruption fund with which TO
resuseitate it. Ii would not be equal to
the task. He would never vote to saddle
Michigan with her portion of this debit
He pitched into Pugh and Benjamin, and
the Drcd Scott decision, and the extrava-
gance of the Administration with bank
rupt Treasury, without gloves. His speech
evinced great research, and was listened to
by an attentive Senate and crowded CALLER
les. Well done, good and faithful servant.

A STUBBORN CoNvIcT.-Superintendent
Rutherford communicates the particulars Of
a case which occurred in the Penitentiary
last week. On Tuesday, one of the prison
ers, for insubordinaton, was sent to his cell.
Soon after being sent there, word was com
municated to the guard that he had knife
secretod about his person. The fact was
put in possession of Deputy Warden Wells
who gave orders that the prisoner should
strip himself in his cell, leave his clothing
upon the floor, and come out that it might
be searched. This order he refused to com
ply with. Every effort was made to induce
him to obey, but he was obstinate-swear-
ing he would die first. It was accordingly
ordered that no food should be given him
till he yielded. The officers became con-
vinced that he had knife, and would use
it if he got chance. During the follow
ing day he was expostulated with through
the grated door, by the Deputy Warden, by
the Superintendents, and by others, for his
conduct, but remained stubborn declaring
that he would starve himself to death be-
fore he would obey the order Strict watch
was kept over him to see that be did not
iniure himself and during repeated conver-
sations with him, the Penitentiary physician,
DR.. Williams, was by to note if he was be-
coming delirious. The confinement com
menced on Tuesday Immediately after din

day, through Friday he held out Going
to his cell about one o'clock on Saturday
afternoon, the officers asked him to rise
from his bed; attempting to do so he fell
and it being discovered that he was Sc
weak that he could not use the knife, the
door was opened and in few minutes il
was seen he was little delnons. He was
Immediately cared for Upon being
searched, the knife was found upon him.

TEIE THIRTY MILLION CORRUPTION
FUND.

The president asks congress for thirty
millions ostensibly to negotiate for Cuba,
really to spend in maintaining black de-
mocrscy; and strange 10 say he finds 10
congress a few fools and knayes who want
to let him have it. A nice thing indeed
it would be for the president to 60 into the
campaign of go with thirty millions in
his pocket A very pretty little capital
wherewith to set ahoat onco more the now
stranded democratic ship. But we appre-
hend Mr.. Buchanan will have to wait lit
tie for his thirty millions. Every northern
congressman knows that he had better have
the bag that Judas carried aud the thirty
pieces of silver for which he sold bis mas,
ter, and mill stone tied about his neck
and so cast into the sea, than to return home
with vote for this thirty million conup,
ton fund recorded against him. If any
northern senator or representative wants 10
be beyond the reach of the last trump, and
sleep safely over the resurrection, let him
vote for this bill.

BY the treaty recently ratified by tho
Senate, the United States acquire about
10,0o0,O0O acres Of land from the Yancaton
band Of Dacotah Indians, who are to be
placed on a tribal reservation, and the
President is authorized to give them lands

Instead Of being entrusted with large
amounts Of money, as has hitherto been the
case with other Indians, they are to be sup
Piled with stock, agricultural implements,
farm houses, and whatever else may be nee
essary TO advance them in civilization.
THIS treaty was negotiated with theYanca-
ton band BY Mr.. Mix, at that time Commis-
sioner Of Indian Affairs;as was also the trea-
" with the Senecas at Tonawauda, recently
ratified. They are to remain where ,ney
now are.
