ABORIGINAL IDEAS.

Mr.. Injine has crude notions Of compen-
sation and satisfaction for homicide. The
Carson Post says:
THE Piute murderers arrested and brought
into the Fort by Captain Wallace, proposed 4
trade, that we suppose under their code was
deemed equitable and fair. The murderers
we're both young men, and FELT that they hac
future before them. So they coolly propos
ed 10 give for their release, each his own
father and fve ponies. The Captain could
no, see it, and 50 declined the trade
Our British ancestors had similar eSti-
mate of the value Of human life; as We
perceive by the following laws OF King
-Ethelbert:
"Gif in Cyninges tune man naannan Of
sleah, L. scill. gebete.
If in the Kings town man slay man
lie, him compensate (booD with fifty
shillings.)
elf on Eorles tune man mannan Ofsieash,
XII. SELL. gebete."
Of in an Earvs town q man STAY man
let him compensate (booD with twelve
shillirgs.)
Thus we perceive that il made thirty
eight shilllngs difference 'rhers man kill
ed man. The Piu,e code seems to be:
"Gif on Walkers River min white man
oisleath, his old dad and V. ponies gebete.
The Piute sets higher value upon hu-
man life than did -E:helbert Of blessed
memory.
Speaking Of Ingins. puts Us IN mind OF
little story" In the winter Of ~ and
so, a party Of the early miners OF the
Trinity region were startled, one day, by
the appearance Of some eight or ten In
dams. each swinging By the tail the shaS;-
" head of a Chinaman. Casting down
his hideous burden a: the feet OF the
miners, the chief gravely inquired, " What
YOU call him :" The horrihed miners an
swered, "Chinamen's heads" The puzzled
red man shook his head and replied
"Ingin no savvY! Him (Pointing to the
headsl go 'quack! quacS all the same
as duck him nab long tail like rat
Insin no savvy-Ingin kill EN-"
There is no moral to this tail " Of the
early days of Trinity.

Our Foreign Friends.

The foreign adyices received by the last
mail furnish amusing as well as instructive
reading. Talk of intervention in behalf
of Jeff. Davis! The chief anxiety of the
Governments of France and England is to
soothe American irritation" They de-
precate any manifestations of hostility to
them on the part Of the United States.
They want to be let alone" They have
not done anything to injure US. They al
ways desired to maintain friendly relations
with the United States. In the midst of
our terrible war we have been too sensi-
tive, too keenly alive to acts on the part
of foreign Powers which. though necessary
TO the preservation Of strict neutrality,
were liable to be deplorably misconstrued.
We really ought to cherish kindly feelings
toward England. We have a common
ancestry, common language, mutual in
terests, etc. Nor should we think harshly
of France-that France which helped
Washington TO establish our independence.
How they do love this republic An un-
broken succession of Union victories and
the clear proof of the exhaustion Of the
Confederacy have caused an edifying
change of tone in Europe.
An old bird is not to BE- caught with chaf.
The bald eagle has reached wise maturity
during the past four years. The blarney
of John Bull will not restore our marine,
nor foot the Alabama's bill, nor expel
from the American mind the ranking re-
membrance of the insulting, lawless and
malignant patronage extended by the Brit
ish aristocracy, landed and commercial, to
the conspiracy for our destruction. Nor
will friendly professions. wrung from the
fears of France, blot out Marshals Forey' S
proclamation of imperial purpose, hostile
to us, in the day of our supposed diSsolu-
ton. Doubtless the republic which can
suppress a gigantic rebellion, muster &
million of volunteer soldiers and an iron
clad fleet. will be able to commapd the
humble respect of England and France,
but their honest friendship never, until
the democracy of those countries shall
triumph over the caste of one and the DIES q.
potism of the other. 1t is worthy of note
and Of congratulation, however, that vic
tory has so far lifted the American repub-
lie above the position of sturdy, but
apparently helpless cripple, in the estima-
ton of our foreign friends, that they are
preparing to fall back before the' rising
giant and deprecate his just anger, instead
of rushing in to complete his ruin. The
recognition Of the Richmond usurpation
BY France or England has become the alb
surd fancy of despairing traitor or the
puerile resources of gamesters in gold and
the Confederate loan. The absorbing
question in London and Paris now is, not
whether they shall hurt us. but whether
we mean to hurt them Sac. Union.

The ROME Sentinel is fully convinced
that it is 1.-THE fixed policy of the Republic
can party to make miscegenation one OF
the cardinal planks of its creed" The
Sentinel labors under confusion Of ideas.
Miscegenation is Democratic invention.
Its Disciples are all members of the Demo-
cratic church. II finds its home in the
Democratic strongholds. Wherever the
Democratic strength is greatest. there will
practical " miscegenation +" be found most
to flourish. Indeed, in the pure Demo-
cratic atmosphere Of the Five Points and
Mackerelville, the new gospel of Amalga-
nation hourishes supreme.

Total Expense. $iS3, g37 ,gG5
This expense has been met by larger in
ternal revenues, but the gold receipts have
been less. Thus in the first half of the
year Mr.. Chase got nearly $21,0OO,OOO
from gold premiums, which did not accrue
under MIR. Fessenden, who obtained about
one-half his loans on gold stocks, and one
half on paper as far as he paid but the
acquisitions made and unpaid accumulated
1888, 900. This does not include q
large amount of claims not adjusted. and
for which acquisitions as yet had not been
made. The fractional currency increases
under the new law. The greenbacks re-
main stationary, but the Treasury owes
about S6O,OOO,O0O deposits payable at ten
days notice, and to meet which $20,000,-
900 greenbacks are in reserve.
The payments in paper interest have
been made largely in compound interest
notes. All of them are convertible into
gold stocks at the end of three years from
date. The first come round in 1867. The
new 5000, 000 900 loan bill restraints the
issue of more legal tender, but authorizes
5000, 100000 of 40 year bonds, payable
in coin at per cent. interest. 1t is oP-
tiOnal with the Secretary to sell these
stocks at home or abroad, or to issue them
payable 7.30 per interest in paper. This
new amount authorized will probably suf-
flee for six months, since Sl36, 470, $40 is
already due on acquisitions. 1t Is prob
able that the new Secretary, under the
law, will issue stocks partly in gold and
partly in paper interest, as circumstances
may require. Should the demand abroad
continue so Us to absorb stocks at prices
equivalent to the fall in gold in New
York, the Secretary may negotiate con-
siderable amount there.

WISE on THE RAMpAGE.--Gen. Wise il
on the rampage. His voice is still for
war. In an address to his followers on
the occasion of the passage OF the rebel
Commissioners through the lines, he con-
jured them to stand firm by the Confeder-
ate cause, to prepare to do yet harder ser
vice, and to "depend upon their arms for
the peace which would come only when 1t
was conquered by their heroic and manly
exertions." This is brave advice; but Is
there not something supremely ridiculous
IN the idea of Wise offering it, Is not
this the same doughty hero who grew sud-
denly sick on the appearance of our forces
off Roanoke Island, deserted his command,
enacted the part of "fugitive from justice"
and sought refuge from danger at Nag 5

PLANTATION MANNERS. Although
the Cotton Lords of the South no longer
swagger through the Halls Of Congress ;
although Pryor no longer busters and
Wigfall no longer sets the decencies at de-
fiance; "plantation manners still I'M
fortunately to some extent exist. Men
who until recently covered under the
frowns of slayeholding aristocrats, are now
but too ready to initiate the coarseness and
emulate the insolence of Southern leaders.
This disposition to copy the worst features
of Southern Congressional manners was
nobly rebuked by Senator Wilson in re-
cent debate on the Retaliation question.
Referring to the language used by couple
of Western Senators ofthe super Radical
school, he said: "As listened to-day 10
the Senator from Ohio (Mr. Wade), and
then again to the Senator from Michigan
(Mr. Chandler), l thought the old slave
masters had come back again. thought
l witnessed all their insolence and some
thing more than their coarseness. The
rebuke is just. We can no more afford to
initiate the ruffianism than we can the dis
loyalty Of the Southern Chiefs.

Union Territorial Convention.

In marked contrast to the noisy, acrimonious and
selfish workings of the Democratic Convention, was
the orderly, business like, and harmonious conduct
OF the Union Delegates, on Wednesday last The
members of the first mentioned body were unaoIe to
agree upon anything, except the nomination of a
man whose election would bring every Improvement
and all progress i'll the Territory to deadlock-and
even this action the accidental result of the bit
Ger parlzan warfare between Others of the ambitious
OF the Democracy. The Union Convention, with
perfect order and good feeling discharged its duties
and, although no one knew which of the candidates
would, even probably, be the nominee the selection
was mLde In one formal ballot. The resignation of
Mesfs sanders and Neailey especially of the former
was proof OF unselhsh devotion the good of the
people seldom witnessed. The truth is, that the
Democratic Delegates tried to feather their own nests
the Peoples Party go for the interests of every man.
woman and child in Montana. Every citizen knows
that Col McLain has done nothing for us in the past
and could do nothing for in the future if elected
except to proclaim by his presence as our Delegate
that the majority of those begging for money and
help. were the sworn enemies of the Administration
that alone could grant our requests. 1t would be
infinitely better for the Territory to send no Delegate
at all. Major Upson, the unanimous choice of the
Convention, Is thorough business man, methodical
and un.lringly energetic. He fought through the
Mexican war, and, by indomitable perseverance, he
has risen, sep by step, from the position of labor
ing man. to the post of Special Commissioner to the
Biacktoot Nation, with whom he is empowered to !
make treaty, having for its object the cession of
their title to all that part of the Territory east of
the Rocky Mountains. As trusted and respected |
ohicial, and an earnest and liberal man. his election
woud be productive of the greatest benefit to every
ene OF our people. On receiving the nomination.
Major Upson addressed the Convention iu an able aad
lucid speech, and again gave statement of his prin-
ciples, views and conduct, on Thursday evening.
