- WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.AThe Sem
ate Finance Committee will doubtless
agree to the main features of the bill
before them, proposing to fund the
compound interest notes In four per
cent certificates, but with the under
standing that the Secretary Of the
Treasury is to continue retiring four
millions of greenbacks per month. 4 i
The President sent to the Senate
the nomination of George Bancroft,
kthe historian, as Collector of the port
of Boston. The appointment created
considerable surprise in executive ses-
sion, and was referred to the Commit
tee on Commerce. Bancroft was Col
lector of Boston in 1888. 8.I1aet 4ssE p

erty destroyed; when IN business they
are prescribed when the recent rebels
hold all places of trust; and having
power, use it to oppress and punish
loyal men, because they are and have
been loyal; when the whole body Of
colored men, who have never finched
from duty, as Radical loyalists, when
the day was gloomiest, and the dan
gers greatest In the time of war, are
prosecuted by system, hunted like
wild beasts, slaughtered without
mercy and with entire impunity from
punishment, there is no room left
for doubt but that some legislative
remedy should be applied. These are
matters of fact and not Of opinion,
and, in our judgment, but one course
is open, and should be pursued with
out any hesitatingg delay. According
to the Judgment of those who felt
the presence, of the rebel rule, and
who stood firmly and fearlessly for the
Union when treason was nearest to
success; whose judgment, given upon
oath, is based upon the facts. within
their personal. experience, who give
opinions resting on knowledge, and
speak Of what they have seen and
known, the present civil government
of Louisiana is now existing without
the sanction of the national law, and
should be suspended by an actof Con-
gress, and a provisional government
established and maintained by militia

when Louisiana is controlled by loyal
men and may be. restored to her form

ST. LOUIS, June 10.
An Omaha dispach says that late Denver
papers are full of accounts of Indian depre-
dations and murders. They also contain dis.
patches from Gen. Sherman to Gov. Hunt,
in which the General says that he has not
troops enough to protect all the exposed
points, and the people for the present must
fight the Indians themselves. He advises
Gov. Hunt to send 800 men Immediately TO
scour the Republican river country, then send
them to Fort Sedgwick, where he will have
them mustered into the service for two
months.
Gen. Augur will scour the South Platte to
Lsporte and cross to Snyders Another par

Gen. Sherman says the great bulk OF the

miles of Fort Sedgewiek, and that the depre>
dations are committed by small scattered
bands, who, being successful in stealing
horses, may combine and do something
worse.

errors in favor OF the rebels, as many Of them

that to be entitled TO be registered requires

that the conquered States are to be held as

that Congress alone is to be appealed to in

to act under tie Constitution, as it is well de-
cided that the admitting Of new States, and
OF course the rebuilding Of the conquered
