Brownlow DISTINGUISHED only about

Yes, Brownlow DISTINGUISHED rebels
the enemies Of the government, and the
murderers of their union neighbors. The
Post would have traitors vote-because
they would vote with its party. We
would not have them vote, for they are
the enemies of the government and the
union. Here is developed the difference
between the republican party and their
opponents. The republicans cooperate
with union men and those who sustain
the government. The Post-the leading
democratic paper in New England
would have traitors vote, because they

full of promise of great things for Port

LIE PRESIDENT AND TIE CABINET.
The llerali'S Washington special saws
one cause OF delay on the part of the
President i'll removing Secretary Stanton
is the proprietv of the step. Secretary
Seward and Mr.. Weed are opposed TO
the removal of Secretary Stanton. and If
is SAID that Seward has taken so decided
a stand in the matter as to have occa-
stoned bad feelings on the PRESIDENT
part. 1t is also said that the President
has resolved to request Secretary Seward
TO resign, in note of somewhat equal
politeneSs and brevity TO that delivered
TO Secretary Stanton. Should this be
true. it is believed Mr.. Adams will be
recalled from England and offered the
portfolio of Secretary of State.
1t has been stated on very good author
ity that one OF the reasons which actuat-
edSecretary Stanton. when he refused
TO resign at the Presidents request. is
that he has received information of a
scheme. which, it is said. is on foot. for
arming the military organizations in the
late rebel states. whose ultimate object is
another assault upon the Government.
and he has determined to remain at his
post to thwart their designs. 1t is said
further that one of the causes of the late
rupture between the President and Sec
rotary Stanton was the refusal of the
latter to assign TO militia company of
Maryland, composed mainly of returned
rebel officers and soldiers, a battery OF
light guns, for which they had applied.
The President, it is said. directed him to
furnish the battery, but Secretary STAN
ton declined and still refuses to do so.

TIE INDIAN TPOURI west

TIE INDIAN TgOUBLEs.-The west
ern Indians are still troublesome. and the
military force there has proved INSULT
cient to etfectually check their depreda-
lions They kill, drive off, and in all
possible ways interfere with the work
men upon the Pacific railroad. They
have, like white men, learned how to
throw train off the track. Last week
Tuesday they did it, and killed seven
workmen on the train, burning the wreck
and the bodies OF the men. They would
stop the building of this road. 1t runs
through their hunting grounds, aud they
are not disposed to part with the right of
way.
The Indians have been abused. They
possess the same passions common to
white men. They are no better or worse.
Their treaty tights are not respected.
The agents among them cheat and i'm
pose upon them. Wicked men sell them
rum. and the Indian likes Sire water"
as we'll rs the white man, and when I'M
der its influence. do as white men do
when drunk. This we all know is bad
enough, and therefore we have war. and
ever shall so long as things remain as
they now are.
Congress, at the recent extra session,
provided for commission to treat with
the Indians. They met last week at St
Louis, and will first proceed to explore
the wild regions within our limits with
view of locating the Indians SO that the
white men may not encroach upon their
rights. The north Of Texas is spoken
of for Indians in the southern section of
our dominion, and a northwestern loca-
ton for those in the more northern re-
gions. The commissioners do not expect
to be ready TO open negotiations with the
Indians until the beginning OF September
1t is to be hoped they may be successful.
The military operations against them
now cost million of dollars week (:
besides communication to the western
sections of the country is interrupted, and
work on the Pacific railroad seriously
impeded
