We do not intend that false statements,
however sacred the source from which
they emanate, shall have any immunity
from being handled just as false state

false political doctrines propagated from
the pulpits throughout the country for the
past few years, have had most psrnicious
effect. 1t was considered by large pro-
portion of the chureh-going people, that
whatever emanated from their chosen

Unparalleled Railroad Progress.

The Pacific Railroad hastens toward COM
lpletion. No peaceful enterprise of ancient
Dr modern times was ever prosecuted with
luch energy and persistence. The two
mountain ranges of the continent have been
luccessiully crossed, and within year We
Ilhall have unbroken communication be-
ween New York and San Francisco. At
he latest dates there remained only Il gap
j 500 miles between the eastern and west
tn portions. The line is being extended
fom both directions as fast rs labor and
ueans can grade and lay the track, the Cen
thl Pacific Company having put down SIX
niles single day. By the close of this year
ids thought the gap can be reduced to less
than 800 miles, possibly to less than 200.
Thus far, the Central Pacific Company
hive sold their own first mortage bonds us
ftt, or faster than they received the cor
responding United Statet bonds on the road
bit, and in some cases it has been neces-
say to issue, certificates calling for the
ftmer, as soon as the company could de-
liter them. 1t is not improbable. therefore,
tMt the whole of their first mortuge loan
will be disposed OF before The through con

Sweet POtatOes-Harvesting and
Storing.

The culture of the sweet potato has great
ly increased in the West during the past
few ymrs The usual way is to purchase tho
plantsof market gardeners and others who
propagate them in hot beds. When the
propaIating establishments are accessible,
1t is pbbaby cheaper for the farmer to buy
his phnts than TO keep the potatoes over
winter and undertake the propagation of
his own plants in the spring. They usually
sell at very reasonable prices and the care
and tropble, together with risk of loss are
thus avoided Still, those who have hot
beds in spring land every one should have)
may, with care and some experience, sprout
their own potatoes,
But the difficulty is not alone in the
spring treatment Of the tubcrs 1t is not
every one who has the facilities for winter
ing them. Most prairie cellars are TOO damp.
The sweet potato must be placed in uni
fOrmly dry and warm temperature, or it
quickly decays, They should not be ex-
posed to more than ~ deg. nor less than As
or 80 deg.
Probably thu best practice is to cut off the
vines after thg frost has nipped them a little.
Do this in clear weather, leaving three or
four inches ii stem to the tuber, Dig care
fully with d fork, and let them dry in tho
sun. Reminder always to avoid harsh u.s.
aye or brhsing the potatoes. Do not load
them into wagon box and haul them to
the houseor barn, us is done with the Irish
potato, but take the boxes or barrels to the
Held, apd carefully pack in layers, putting
cut strsw or dry sand in the bottom, then
alternating the packing material with the
potatoes, handling them as gingerly us you
would eggs. The boxes or barrels must be
ventilated.
This is the price of sweet potatoes for
winter use and spring plntrg; yet few will
say they are not worth it all. They form q
delicious, heathfuI table dish, and should
be found in our households long after they
disappear in the city market

The Indian CommissiOn-Im-
pOrtant Change of Views.

Chicago, Oct. l0,-The Indian Peace Com
mission as its session, yesterday, adopted re-
solution declaring tat it is the opinion of the
Commission, tie Bureau of Indian Affairs
should be transferred from the Interior Dep
artment to the War Department, Tho fol-
lowing resolution was also adopted:
"That this Commission recommend to tho
President of the United States and to Con-
gress, that full provisions be made at once to
feed, cothe, and protect all Indians of the
Crow-ioot, Blackfeet, Anpahoes. Apaches,
Kiowas, Comanehes, and Madous, who now
live or shall hereafter locate permanently on
agricultural reservations; that the treaties of
the said tribes with the United States wheth-
er ratified or not, be considered to be and re-
main in full force as to all Indians Of such
tribes MS now have or may hereafter have their
homes upon agricultural reservations pescrib-
ed in these respective treaties, and no Others;
that in TIE opinion of this Commission the
time has come when the Government should
cease to recognize the Indian tribes as domes-
tic and dependent nations except so far as II
may be requisite to recognize them as such
by existing treaties and by treaties made but
not yet ratified; that hereafter all Indians
shall be considered and held to be individual
ly responsible to the laws of the United States,
except where and while tits otherwise provid-
ed in said treaties; and that they shall be en-
titled to the same protection from said laws,
as other persons owing allegiance to the Gov
enment, that the recent outrages and depre-
dations committed by the Indians of the
Plains, Justify the Government in abrogating
those claims of treaties made in October, 1867,
at Medicine Bow lodge, which secures to them
the right to roam and hunt outside their re-
servations, that all said Indians should be re-
quired to move within them, except tfat after
peace shall have been restored, hunting par
ties may be permitted to cross these bounda-
ries with written authority from the agent or

About the Overland MaiI-HOw
the Contracts are Awarded.

CHICAGO, October 10.-The New York
Tribune of Yesterday throws some light over
the frighttul increase in the deficits for pos
tai service, which the last reports have
shown. 1t says that about two months ago
the Postolice Department awarded con-
tact for carrying the mails in the country
beyond the Pacific Railroad to Mr.. Spaids.
There were three bidders' Spaids at $3.50, 900;
the second person at about 100000 more,
md Wells, Fargo II Co., who made n bid in
ihe neighborhood of one million. 'Spaids,
bid was accepted, and he gave bonds faith
fully to perform the contract, but the Pos
Ilotlice Department, several days ago lear
ned that Spaids had disappeared and thrown
up his contract. The Department is said to
have called upon Wells, Fargo 4 Co. to do
the work. Many unpleasant tales are in
circulation in regard to this transcton. 1t
is wen known mere THAT tho way guse'"
ment is swnded on contracts is to have
number irresponsible bidders, who render
bids and give worthless bonds, then throw
up their contracts, when they are awarded
to another member of the ring who put in
higher bid.

Affairs, at Washington.

l. By reference to dispatches from Wash
ington in our latest news columns 1T will
be seen that affairs at tue National
Capitol are not as placid as the unruf-
fed bosom of the majestic Potomac, or
the f;,nciful dream of lovely maiden.
nor quite as pleasant as the latter.
But we imagine the gale, like others,
will soon blow oyer-resulting IN moth
ing-just as the waves of the ocean when
tossed by the angry winds resume their
accustomed smoothness at each succeed
face and beneath, leaving nothing to
mark the scene of the commotion or in
remembrance of those who were engulf-
ed in it's tossing pillows.
Should the President be impeached,
it will undoubtedly cause financial cri-
sis throughout the country, and general
anarchy, confusion and distrust will per-
vade-business lethargic,, and want and
utter starvation will be known to others
than those of the South. But if not,
the doom of the Radical party is sealed
in the failure of this their last and bold
est attempt at revolution. So far. they
have been successful, and maddened
with ambition and lust of power and
plunder, all is staked upon the turn OF
the last card; should it fall their way,
| a state of affairs even worse than pic
tured above will reign with all its ter
rors; the end of which no prophetic eye
can foretell. If the President should be
so rccreant to his plighted faith to the
country at large, and his sworn duty to
preserve and protect the Constitution,
as to allow himself to be impeached, it
is, as a contemporary says, the best evil
dence in the world that he deserves i'm
peachment. If he has not the courage
to maintain his position as Chief Execu-
tive of the nation, with the army and
navy at his command, we doubt his ina
bility OF inclination to serve us by re-
naming; as it is very evident that un-
less he assumes defiant attitude he viii
be displaced. Should he resort to this
assump mption-calling upon the armies
and navies of the United States, as
COMMANDMENTS Chief, and upon the law
abiding citizens Of all sections, for as
sstance i'll defence of the Constitution
and laws of the country-the impeach-
ment scheme and all other disloyal at
tempts to overthrow the government
would vanish ''like mist before the ris-
ing sun"

The New York Tribune urges impea-
chment; the World SCOTS at it; the
Herald opposed the movement as gen
orally absurd and disastrous to material
interests; the Times holds that the
President is entitled to decision from
the courts, holding that the inpeach-
men of the President is wholly out of
place, and that so long as the constitu-
tionality of the tenure of Office bill is in
controversy. 1t is purely a question of
Interpretation and construction, and
should be decided by the Supreme
Court, the controversy being between
two departments; neither of which can
decide for itself. The Times adds:
Suppose the House should impeach the
President and the Senate should convict
him and depose him from Office for
having acted. in violation of this IaH
and the Supreme Court should, in due
course of its judicial action, decide the
law to be unconstitutional, what would
be the position of the President and
Senate before the country9 Must the
