- In our paper Of last week, we took oc-
casion to remark on the absurdity of the con-
tract officer at Gibson. sending notices here
for receiving proposals for Grain. etc at For;
Smith, for the Indian Department. with only
three hours warning. Without knowing the
urgency of the demand for the grain, or any
of the surrounding circumstances, we natural
ly concluded that the sending of the notices
on this side Of the river was merely blind.
We have since been informed. bv gentlemen
effort Smith, in no way connected with the
contract or contract department. that the i'm
mediate and urgent demand, tfrom the ac-
emulation of troops in that Department. re-
quired that the contract should be filled at
once on short notice; consequently there was
no design on the part of the Chief Quarter
master to make sham proposition to our peo-
pie. lie was in hope to find among our mcr.
chants corn and grain sufficient to fiji the
present bill. Under the circumstances. we
feel it due, to Maj. KmBALL to make this cx-
planation.
The contract, we learn was given to Evans.
Post Sutler at Gibson.
We find in the Fort Smith Herald of 18th,
an invitation to contractors TO furnish 5000
bushels Of Corn or its equivalent in Oats,
which we will try and find a place for in our
paper next week, gratuitously.

tempt for and utter disregard ofihc ,on,tini-

hc always does. n becoming reverence for ihc
sacred WORK of Washington and III, great
compCcrs. lie maintains most truly that the
Constitution extends over cvery foot oftcrri-
tory In the lately revoltod States. rs IL does
over every other part OF the United States.
The rebellion suppressed, the States were re-
s,orcd 10 all their right. in tic Union. and en-
titled at once, to representation in Congress.

States wtrc guilty Of treason in rcbcllng and
waging war against the United States they
were liable to be- tried, convicted and punish
cd by the law in force at the time of the COM
mission of the offence and not otherwise.
Mr.. Stevens the leader of the Black Rcpul-
licans in the House in an attempted reply TO
the Presidents message. admits without hes-
tation that If the President is right: ifit be
true that the Constitution ofthc United States
extends over, or is to be recognized as in force
in these States, then all that has been done hv
the Black Republicans. looking to reconstruc-
tion-the whole batch of military bills-is
daring, reckless usurpation without the shad-
ow OF authority in the Constitution. Here we
have it at last. The undisguised doctrine
boldly proclaimed in the halls of Congress
that these States are not States of the Union
and not entitled 10 the protection of the Con-
stitution. The precise doctrine taught by
secessionists and by the rebel authorities
throughout the war, But the war for the
Union was prosecuted by the United States
upon the theory that the revolted States were
not out of the Union and could not possibly
absolve themselves from their allegiance to
the government; that the war was simply an
insurrection against lawful authority and that
the ordinances of secession were imperative
and void. This doctrine was proclaimed BY
Congress and the other departments of GOV
crnment at every stage of the war. The bat
tie for the Union was fought upon this line
and the contrary doctrine of State suicide was
never heard Of not even from Black Repub-
lican lips, until the dcviish scheme was fully
matnrcd by this vile and dctestable faction,
of degrading, disgracing and running n whole
people. Then the mask is thrown off and
and the lie given to the entire action of the
government from the beginning to the end of
the war. Talk Of the sanctity of the Const-
tuition and laws. What do these men care for

HE INDIAN WAR-Commissioner
Taylor says that "By simply retracing
our steps, and by doing right, we can
have all we want from the Indians with
out war" The hostile tribes are anxious
for peace; the friendly Indians watch
with regret the progress of contest into
which, if it is continued, they must in.
evitably be drawn. We are spending
money foolishly and wickedly, and we
agree with the New York Tribune that
the war should be ended. Recall the
troops, proclaim peace, make Just
treaty with the Indians, and then let the
Government not only keep it strictly it
SELF but make sure that it is not broken
by agents and traders The issue is plain
Immediate peace, or savage and fruit
less war-and the Government cannot
hesitate in its choice"
