The Independence Bulletin in refer
ring to the limited amount provided by
the Legislature for the maintenance of
the soldiers orphans, is in our opinion
correct in styling it "down right little
ness ordespicable politicalsycophancy."
The amount allowed is inadequate, as
has already been made known; but it
will be remembered that contributions
have been made by the benevolent peo-
pie of Iowa to supply this deficiency
until the next meeting of the Legisla-
ture, and not only have contributions
been made literally by the people of
the State, but also of Massachusetts,,
and when it is inferred that the in
mates of the Home are suffering for
food, or that they fare poorly, we say it
is amistake. If 1t were true, as is al
lodged by the Bulletin, that ''rancid
butter, watered molasses and an ex-
ceedingly limited supply of the coarsest
food" constituted the diet of the Home,
the question might be asked by the
people what has become of the money
given by outside contributions. A re-
cent visit to the Home convinced us
that the facts were otherwise. The in
mates are provided with good whole
some food, better perhaps than may be
found at the tables of many families.
We, however, commend the spirit
which prompted the article to which
we refer. and wish in this to correct
what may be wrongly construed, viz !:
that contributions are needed, but that
all such contributions are properly
used in providing proper food and in
sufficient quantities for the inmates of
the Home. N 81 WY

Governors of Louisiana.
General Sheridan has determined to
secure for Louisiana loyal State Gov
eminent regardless of the frowns of the
disloyal element of the South, or the
many rumors of his probable removal.
Thomas III. Durant declining the APP
pointment of Governor occasioned by
the displacement of Gov. Wells, Hon.
b. f. Flanders was appointed in his
place, and has accepted. A late New
Orleans despatch says: .,..4r
s'Hon. B. +. Flanders, new appointed
Governor. called on Gov. Wells this
morning at the Executive Office, and
made known that he came in obedience
to the order of General Sheridan, and
was ready to enter on his duties. Gov.
Wells declined to voluntarily vacate
the office, and protested in writing
against the action of the military. At
one clock an order was received at the
Governors office, addressed to Flanders,
but he was absent, so the nature of the
communication is not known" $3.50
Ex-Gov. Wells will doubtless be In
formed that his services can be dis

The Frontier.

Trouble with the Indians along the
frontier instead OF quieting down, is
daily assuming more threatening at
titude. Efforts at civilizing them are
becoming less probable, and treaties are
only made to be broken. General
Sherman has decided to abandon his
proposed trip to Europe on account of
the threatening hostilities of the Indi-
ans i'm his department. He says:
MY military command embraces a
vast region Of wild country, which is
being rapidly occupied by our people,
and across which are being built two
railways destined i'm q few years to span
the wide space between the Atlantic
and Pacific States. This country has
been from time immemorial the homes
and huating grounds of various tribes
of Indians, who still number some $780,
600 souls, and who, being pressed from
every quarter, have become nervous,
excited, and, in some cases, positively
hostile. At this moment there are fears
that they may combine and do infinite
mischief; and we have daily calls for
protection at a hundred places humid
reds of miles from each other, and it re-
quires our constant attention so to APP
portion our limited military force as to
protect the most vital interests a
A late Fort Kearney despatch says the
Indian war on the Platte has finally

In Montana the people have organ
lied voluntary companies under the
auspices of Governor Meagher, for the
purpose of quelling the disturbances.
The chiefs of the hostile bands are
now on their way to Fort Laramie to
meet the Commissioners, where 1t is
thought the troubles for time, at least,
will be quieted by treaties, but it is
plainly evident that the Indian troubles
are gradually tending to "a war of exter-
mination. Such measures will event
ually become a necessity. a.o aa
