CAPT. SMITHS LETrER-We publish
elsewhere a letter addressed to j.. w..
P' Huntingdon Superintendent" of
Indian, Affairs for Oregon, by Captain
John Smith, the present Agent at
Warm Springs Reservation. Tho
Agsnt deems it essential to the we'll.
being of the Reservation, and the pro.
lection. of the publio property there,
that U. S. traops should be stationed
in the neighbarhood. In this we
think heis right. Having been sta
toned, while ina the military service,
on4hat reservation, we are,penemlly
acquainted with the dangers not only
to, he,ppblio, property there, but also
the lives Of. those employed by the
Government to, look after the WELL
being of the Indians. In 1859, the
Snakes attacked and drove tho ems
ployecs from the reservation, and al.
most every gear from that time up to
1864, they have visited the Agency
and stole large bands of horses from
the Indians located there. The treaty
with the coniedsrated tribes -on the
reservation, guarantees.to them mill.
tary protection against the, SnakezIh> :
dians, and it was with this UNDER
standing. that they consented to be 10
Gated, on the reserve. The country is
claimed blythe Snakes as being part
Of their territory, and hence their con.
stant. depredations upon the friendly
Indians. Whether or not Agent, Smith
can be- furnished with troops ho can

How New England is Favored.

The Indianapolis Herald briefly presents
some truths respecting how Yankcedom
has been and ia favored, which western
people, outside Of all partyism, should
carefully ponder. Says the Herald:
To no portion of the country does the
Constitution carry such immense and sub
stantial benefits IA to the States of the
Fast. With population (aecording to the
census report of lsG0) more than seven
hundred thousand less than that of New
York, they have twelve Senators In Con-
gress while New York has two. OF course
they have no pdtlTdl right 10 this extrava-
CANT and dispropOrtioned representation.
They owe It 10 a compact--to the Con-
stitution which places the smallest State
on level with the greatest on the floor oi
tho Senate. IL Is respect for the supreme
law" which secures submission to that
uncqual distribution of power by the great
Commouwealths whose interest 1t would be
10 overthrow 1t and substitute more just
one.
One would fancy that States which owe
So much to the respect Which the COnsti-
tuition secures from other members of the
Union, would be tender of violating il
themselves. aud anxious to maintain its
sacredncss from the mere selfish love of the
power which it assures to them.
But" SAYS the Herald again, 'it Is moi
merely in the possession of dispropor-
tionarely large share of power that the New
England States have the advantage of the
rest of the country. They are enabled by
The use of it to shift from their own backs
to ours the greater part of the burdens OF
the government. We could cite long ar
ray of facts TO sustain this assertion, but
for the purpose of this article single one
win suffice.
I'VE find by the official report Of the Sec
retiry Of War that the six New England
Starcs, with population (by the census Of
IS6O)'of 3,l35,2s3, sent to the war 374,372 sol.
dicrs, or one in eUery mine; Pennsylvania
population 2.906.2l5, sent 366,326 or one in
sUe,y seuen! Such figures need no COM
mcnt. The explanation of them can bC
found in the fact that the New England
States with population Of only about two
hundred Thousand more than that of Pen.
nsylvauia, has representation in the
United States Senate six times as great"
1t is high time that that little corner Of
mischief should be legislated into much
smaller political and state dimensions. Let

a letter from Washington, February ],
says
The trial OF General Baker has, been con-
cluded. He was found guilty of false i'm
| prlsonment, but not extortion. The trial
win probably be but the first of a series of
Developments concerning the pardon brok-
erage business. The corruption revealed in
the course of the evidence equals that OF
any case of which the country has any
knowledge.
Probably no greater villain ever broke
into penltentiary or fell from a gallows
than this same BAKER. A letter from Wash
lington relates an incident, which happened
to him the other day. as follows;
Baker bad become 80 impudent, and felt
so entirely secure from the reach of all
men, save the Secretary Of War, that he
actually attempted TO play the detective
upon the President and his household, some
weeks ago. There Is scarcely Il doubt, how
ever, that this last specimen OF indeccncy
and wonderful impudence was encouraged,
II not suggested. by some of the Presidents
Radical friends"
The ''Grcat Detective" made an utter fail
urc of his espionage upon the executive
mansion, for 1t was somehow discovered by
MIR. johnson, who senta messengcrt to bring
Baker Immediately into his presence. The
detective dropped every other considers
tion, and repaired with all haste to the
White House, totally at fault as to the pur-
pose of this summons from the President
His name being announced, the President
directed that he be at once admitted, not
withstandlng the presence of several gcntle-
men then engaged with Mr.. johnson. The
latter most stuncercmoniously charged Baker
with his yillainous espionage, and informed
him that IL he again heard of his presence
In or prowling about the White House, or
II he permitted any of his creatures to sneak
around the premises, the Great Detective"
should himself lodge In some one of the
dingy cells in the Old Capitol, where so
many had been incarcerated upon the
simple order of Baker himself without
warrant, or the semblauCe of law or Justice.
The 'Great Detective was amazed at
what he heard, and remained spcechlcss
while the President scored him. Upon the
Presidents command, go sir" Baker has
tily moved toward the door; but before he
quite arrived there, Mr.. johnson added {:
Hold one moment, sir; desire that You
now go to the Secretary of War and tell
him every word have said to you and
Shaking his finger at him) don't you ever

A Model Governor.

The people of Colorado have been fur
nished with Governor; and, no doubt, as
he is perfect stranger to that distant COM
munity and embrio State, the indianapolis
Herald has gratuitously posted them on
his more prominent antecedents. No doubt,
the Republican Senate, in confirming his
appointment, considered him rs "the right
man, in the right place."
1t must be still fresh in the memories of
our readers how he bamboOzled the United
States while q Government officer at New
York, in 1861, by his purchases of straw
hats and linen pants for sOldiers-his con-
ucction with the purchase of large guam
tity of rejected Springfield muskets and
their shipment to st. Louis, the purchasing
of worn out vessels, etc, and the general
expose which followed, driving him from
his position; but not getting from him,
however, some 100000 which he made, in
his nefarious transactions, and for which
the Government had to bleed
Used up in New York. he retraced his
steps to Philadelphia, where lie was read
out of the Methodist Church, and kept out
for short time; his devoutness and hypo-
crisy however, regained him his old stand
ing soon, when he once more entered the
political arena, running for the Legislature,
and being defeated in q Republican Dis
trict. Although knowing nothing of mil
itarv tactics, through the influence of Simon
Cameron, he was appointed to the colonelcy
of regiment, ordered to Arkansas, (where
he never went, we believe,) and shortly
afterward became one of the military sa-
traps of Philadelphia. Turned out of the
Buiietin newspaper by his partners. he
sought redress at law, but it availed him
little, as they were too sharp for him, land
that is saying great deal when it is
known that Cummings Il one of Cameron's
most apt pupils, and he was left out in the
cold. But the man who had taken such a
deep interest in the welfare of the soldiers,
desiring them to wear strdlo hats and cheap
linen pants, must receive an adequate re-
ward. and we now find him turning up in
Colorado Territory as its Governor, and
confirmed In that position by the United
States Senate last Friday

1t is satisfactory to know that our held hospitals

that it will eventually supercede all the adultera
