THE OK AND BULL-MR. FESSEN.
DEN vs.. CORRESPONDENT OF
THE BOSTON ADVERTINER.

EDITOR or THE REPUBLICAN In comment
ing upon the action Of Congress in the mat
ter Of pay, in recently published article
you justly observed that:
"Senators and Representatives contracted
with the people to serve two years for six
thousand dollars each. After getting elected
they voted themselves ten thousand each
thus swindling the people out of nine hun
dred and 5oHy.four thousand dollars! This
is patriotism.
when the poor, hard-working clerks o.
the Departments asked for trifing add
tional compensation the radical Congress
couldn't a6ordit! This is pure patriotism
The enterprising member Of the mutual
admiration society, who does "the Washing
ton correspondence for the Boston Adyer
tiser seems to have two pair of eyes-one
for Congress, and the other for "the rest oI
mankind
In commenting upon the same facts he
cringingly observes that:
"These two facts, however, remain: first
that the services Of any man, as everybody
will admit, who is fit for seat in Congress
are worth what II is now proposed to pay
and, second, that men in every way entirely
competent to perform all the clerical duties
Of the departments are abundant at the
present salaries"
Did it ever occur to this Congressional
snob that men in every way entirely compe'
tent to perform all the duties of members ol
Congress are abundant at $1,000 per year
and mileageH
Did he ever know any man to refuse q
seat in Congress because Of insufficient pay I
Or did he even know o member Of Congress
to resign for the same reason?
Does he not know that hundreds of the
best clerks in the Departments have re
signed because their pay was not sufficient
to maintain their families respectfully
Does he not know that eleven hundred
and seventy dollars per year is the pay Of
majority Of clerksf and does he not also
know that sum is not sufficient to support d
family in this cityf
And last Of all, does not this enterprising
reliable Boston correspondent know that he
is guilty of stating gross untruth in the
above item quoted?
Mr.. Secretary FEssESDES stated, while in
the Treasury Department, that he found
great difficulty in obtaining competent
clerks on account Of the meagreness of the
salaries.
Who tells the truth, Mr.. FEssESDEN or the
Boston correspondent
Yours, for the right F. X.

The Next Representative to Con-
greBns

Late events seems to be narrowing down
the radical Republican candidates to two
DR.. Geo. B. LorIg, of Salem, who to-day is
recognized US the leader Of that wing of the
party in this district, and who is man Of
unquestioned ability, and Gen. b. +. Butler,
who is on sort of missionary excursion
from Middlesex, and, as we think, miscacu-
lates the local pride Of the Essex people.
Mr.. Alley has not yet announced his inten-
ton OF cOntesting the field, and though Mes
srs Phillips, Of Salem, Ware, Of Marblehead,
and one or two others have been named in
connection with the Office, they are not yet
among the prominent candidates, while such
men as Loring and Butler, once in the lead,
are not likely to allow competitors to go by
them.
The Democrats do not seem inclined to
present candidate, as not a name for that
side has yet been heard. If they should
nominate It will undoubtedly be II. s. Spof.
ford, Esq, Of this city, and we think he is
not anxious for the position The johnson
men will nominate, and so far we have heard
three names mentioned: Hon. A. A Abbott,
of Danvers who has been a Republican
from the start" and never had any connec-
ton with the Democratic party, who has
ability and popularity; Hon. Timothy Davis,
of Gloucester, who was very efficient Rep
resentative for four years, and is nov urged
by former friends about the district; and

years ago was Governor Of New Mexico, and

Indian Affairs.

The following dispatch from special Commits
sioner of the Indian Bureau, dated Fort Bsrthold,
Dacotah Territory July 20, was received yesterday
by Judge Cooley:
"we have now been here several days. Have not
yet concluded treaty with the Indians at this
point, but think We shall to-day. We should have
done so before this but, We suspect, for the dc.
signing influence and advice Of certain individuals
located here, who advise the Indians against max
ing the grants that We require. These Indians are
very we'll disposed II they could be let Alone They
have about 900 acres In crops, which are 10 okng
very we'll. The Sioux make them much trouble.
Two days since the Sioux made IN attack upon
sued them killed and scalpsd Eve Of them, recov.
cred their horses, and took others FROM the Sioux.
We shall probably leave here tomorrow"
Tho Commissioner Of Indian Affairs has also re-
eeived from one of the special commission sent to
the far West to conclude treaties with the Indians
intelligence Of the progress OF their negotiations in
which he states that treaties have been made with
the Crows and Assiniboines. By the treaty with
the Crows they grant the right Of way for roads,
railroads, and telegraph lines In any direction
through their country, and up the valley Of tho
Yellowstone they csde q strip Of land ten miles
wide from the mouth to the Big Bend, from which
point to Virginia City and Helena tho distance Is
about equal. This Is to be the great thoroughfare
for the Northwest to the mines, both from st. Paul
and also up the Missouri, for the junction Of the
Yellowstone and the Missouri Is really the head Of
navigation on the river. By the treaty with the
Assiuiboines they not only grant the right Of way
as the Crows do but code a tract of land on the
north side of tho Missouri sixty miles in length
and twelve miles In width, twenty miles below and
forty miles above Fort Union, and all their right
and title to the territory south Of the Missouri
and west Of the Yellowstone.

out from Office several persons who desire to
keep up disruption of the Union, which
our armies believed they had restored when
the war was over, and replaced them with
soldiers who had fought for the flag, or with

vted to speak in fremont Temple for the
freedmen, under the auspices Of an associa-
tion which has for its object the legitimate
and practical purpose of elevating the negro

citizenship, Mr. WILSON failed to explain
why Congress shirked the suffrage question
in the District of Columbia, left the South
ern negro to the tender mercies OF the Freed
mems Bureau, and otherwise abandoned him
to his fate, and yet he denounced The Pres
rpESr as having turned his back on the
