OuTRAGEs ON THE INDIANS ON THE MENDo-
oTSo REsERvATIoN.-If accounts that reach
US from the MendUcino Reservation, says the
Petaluma Argus, are reliable, the villainies
that are there perpetrated are exceeded only
by the exploits of the valorous heroes of the
North. and the whole affair is an outrage
upon the Indians, and q swindle against the
Government. Our information is direct, and
comes to lis under such circumstances as com.
pei us TO believe that it is reliable. Parties
who have contracts for furnishing the Indians
with beef and blankets are continually re-
ceiving money from the Government for ar.
ticles the Indians never obtain. While the
Indians are dispersed over the country, earn.
ing their own living and getting nothing
from these contractors the Government is
daily charged for supplies that would be ad-
equate TO support every Indian on the Reser.
walton. The blankets furnished the Indians.
and for which the Gov ernment is charged a,
high rate, are worthless-so rotten and
damaged that they are of no value whatever
Nor is that all. The women are not protec-
ted against the abuses of unprincipled white
men, but are subjected TO indignities too re.
voting to describe, while the children are
often sold to those who think they can make
them serviceable. If these things are true,
it is time this Infamous system was abolished,
and something else instituted in its place
For the sake of humanity, we hope these
things are not true; yet, n the face of SO
many act If perfdy and cruelty on the part
of these who are attempting to make money
out of the Indians, nothing need surprise us.

DINNERS AT WAsHINGToN.-A stranger

ern Representative, and the fourth with me-
tropoitan resident. The dining rooms are of

different gentlemen and ladies occupy the po-

there are different circles of guests. But the

ergnes and table furniture are seen at each

to their cuisine. A halfchilled vegetable soup ;
salmon, brought i'll tin cans from New Bruins
wick; and half-a-doZen entrees, rejoicing in
Apican names, but very questionable in ap
pearance, and so favored as to defy detection
A pastry cooks dessert follows with few
6onbons that are greediy pocketed and for
beverages, there are badly-iced Champagne, a
manufactured Bordeaux, and execrable brown
sherry. Everything is dull, prosy stupid, and
indgestibe.

Der of Congress, or of the Cabinet, would

the good cheer always to be found there The
ducks, oysters, and fish from the Potomac and
Chesapeake Bay, with the fine beef and NUT
ton from the valley of Virginia, and home
cured ham, were so prepared as to make bo-
quets unequaled at the Irois FrereS in its palm

announcement that the Madeiras and the clar-
cts came from Charleston, the sherries from
