AZ The Indians is creating discomfort
among them. Notwithstanding it being
the vinter season there are q great
many strange Indians appearing and
disappearing. Some come from Victoria
and others from Fort Simpson, for what
purpose it is not known. 1t is expected
that as the Russians move the popula-
ton will become Americanized, and at
fairs change for the better. In conse-
quence of the exorbitant prices de-
manded for game, and the knowledge
of the fact that it is principally disposed
of BY the Indians surreptitiously for
haner, General Davis issued an order
that whatever article Of provisions the
Indians wished to sell must be exposed
in the market place. Many Indians
have been detected violating the
order, we're arrested and the liquor
confiscated, whereapon the whole tribe
would appear at headquarters and de-
mand release, and if refused hold a
council of war. The Chief has made
savage threats.

conclusion Is that he isweak and scarcely

Herald thinks him wellmeaning man,

II says;
General Grant received bis appoint
ment from the President. The Office was
purely executive and under the Chief
Executive Of the republic, the President.
He had nothing 10 do with Congress and
should have received no orders from that
body. He should have known nothing
about what Congress did with regard
to the War Department or his duties IN
il except through the President. Con-
gress is not the Executive. The mere
resolution OF the Senate that IL did not
approve of the suspension Of Stanton

MEXICO.

New YORK, January 23.-The Herald s
Havana special of the I'D inst. says:
Further news from Mexico state that a
seat in the Supreme Court has been
offered to Senior Mortiaze Romero, who
is still undecided whether to return to
Washington as Minister or remain in
Mexico
Congress seemed inclined to force the
Ministers, Signors Lerdo and Detejado,
to give up the State Department seals,
or confer the extraordinary powers which
Juarez had surrendered on Congress
Inauguration had again been authorized
by Congress for limited time.
Rumors are aAoat that an appropria-
ton of $4,000 will be made for the
purpose of erecting monument in honor
of Mexican independence. Congress has
lately been stirring up the English Com
pany holding concession to finish the
railway between the City of Mexico and
Vera Cruz. A committee had been APP
pointed to find out what means were used
to secure the concession.
An attempt has been made to kidnap
Gen. Caravsjal but he escaped, after
killing the leader.
The Monitor Republican, publishes
an extraordinary alphabetical memoran-
dunn book found in Maximilian's private
cabinet by the police. 1t abuses and ex'
poses every influential and famous man
in Mexico. A document has been printed
proving the completely of ex.Consul OF
tenburg with the late Emperor.
A Herald special from Havana says
further Mexican advices state that Gen.
Zuloaga has been reinstated to his civil
rights.
The contract TO construct a railway to
the Capital, via Jalepa, has been ratified
The weekly cotton receipts at Cohima
are increasing. The Legislature at
Nueva Leon has ordered the destruction
Of Blackfort, near Monterey.
All degrading punishments have been
abolished.
Slight shocks Of earthquake were felt
throughout Mexico on the Both nit.
Three hundred thousand dollars from

Conxre.. and the supreme Court.

BY the bill requiring two-thirds ma
jori,y of the judges of the Supreme
Court necessary to the validity of its de-
cisions where the coustitutionslity OF
any congressional action is concerned,
the practical result is that three-fourths
instead of two-thirds is required. If the
court consisted Of six or nine judges the
case would be different. The court con-
sisting Of eight. FIVE will not constitute
two-thirds aud six will be three fourths.
| The bill has passed the House, and be.
| fore this probably also the Senate. The
New York Herald on this subject, says
"there are certain cases in which the
Supreme Court has jurisdiction only
with such exceptions ard under such
regulations as the Congress shall make
They are cases of appellate jurisdiction,
and the Constitution itself specifies what
they are. But in all cases in which q
State shall be party, as in these recon
struction laws, original jurisdiction,
without qualification, is given simply
and distinctly to the Supreme Court. To
the court; not to any given number OF
judges, ner in any required way, but
plainly to the court. These words are
to be taken, of course, in their ancient,
we'll understood, common law sense-in
which the court means majority OF
the Judges; and in this sense, in which
these words have been understood ever
since the Supreme Court had an exist
ence, that court will undoubtedly still
understand them, and therefore will GER
tainIy pronounce the law unconstitu-
tional and refuse to be governed by it
But there is one way in which Congress
can get at the Supreme Court. Although
the Constitution established the court and
declared its powers, it left its organiza-
ton to Congress, and this was fixed by
the statute of 1889. That law organizing
the Supreme Court Congress can repeal,
and can reorganize the court to
suit its views. The constitution requires
that there shall. be chief justice, which
implies, of course, that there shall be
some associates; but as no number is
called for, the court may be so organized
that majority would be two.thirds.
Here would be an act quite in the revo-
lutionary spirit that prevails; but there
would be one difficulty. The President
would have the appointment Of the
Judges, which would not suit Congress &C
we'll, unless, indeed, having gone so tar
Congress would not be stopped by one
more constitutional provision, and
should by another law, going just triii'
further than the tenure OF office law
place the appointing power somewhere
else"

grant you that Northern man may get

billiards, denuncistion Of Radicals, fiat

too lazy to work.
We find the above in the New York
Day Book, accompanied with appropri.
ate and forcible comments. There is not
even the. color of truth in the above cx.
tract. 1t is utterly untrue that Northern
men or women are ill-treated, ostracised,
or even neglected in Southern social cir
Giles. And it will stamp infamy on the
name of any man to make such an affirm
alton on his honor. He could be con-
victed on proof of the facts, at his own
home and among his own neighbors
But Southern people, like all others,
choose their own society. The respect
able do not choose the vicious of their
own citizens or of those who come from
abroad. And here then lies the exact
truth-men who come here from the
North. to live and act as honorable gen.
tlemen, and ladies from the North who
are and appear such, are welcomed, we'll

any want of civility or neglect on the
part of the Southern people. Those who
come here to deceive and affiliate with
our negro population, have chosen their
companions, and have no right to COM

round of the social ladder. 1.-THE North
ern people will take for true no reports
of this character except such as come
from citizens whose good standing is
known among themselves, they will have
very little of this sort to believe against
the South. These falsehoods come from
men who have party designs, and are
INSCRIPTIONS how they accomplish them,
so they can personally escape exposure.
