The Western Indians and Our Rocky Noun.
tain Travellers.


We have report from Ellsworth, in the far
West, that all the Indian tribes that had been
gathered together at Fort Larned had left, and
that no one knew where they had gone. 1t is
feared that they have gone South to put their
women aud children in some safe place, and
that then they will return on the warpath,
taking the line Of the Pacific Railroad and the
routes traversed by the emigrant trains in
grand campaign for scalps and plumber. II
was suspected, however that this rumor was
an invention of army contractors and adven-
turers on the lookout for spoils. At all events
the Indians of the Plains and Rocky Mountains
are still in very unsettled and uncertain con-
dition; for with all their treaties of peace they
are adriit and are very uneasy at being
more and more hemmed in and cut off on every
side by the increasing whites all around them.
and they look with especial horror upon that
Pacific Railroad as an intruder which means
their destruction.
1t would not therefore, be surprising IL we
were soon to hear Of the upsetting of railroad
trains and the massacre OF detached parties of
travellers, railway workmen and soldiers. In
this view we are glad to hear that the distin
gushed Rocky Mountain excursion party, en-
bracing Generals Grant, Sherman and Shcri-
dan, is on the return trip and already this side

OUR RELATIONS WITH ENGLAND.-The Lon
don journals comment on the American Cit-
zens Protection bill, passed by Congress just
previous to the Adjournment, in rather ex-
cited tone, expressing the opinions that the
adoption Of the measure will tend to delay the
general settlement of the foreign naturalza-
ton question and that it will be used as Pre-

TIE REBEL FLAG LOOMING UP AGAIN.
Wade Hampton was serenaded by great
multitude in Charleston last Saturday night
the band repeating ''Dixie" and other South
ern airs amid the utmost enthusiasm. Upon
the vocferous calls of the crowd General
Hampton made few remarks complimentary
to the chiyalry of Charleston and eulogistic of
the rebel flag. On the latter topic he said he
''had preserved the flag from the general
wreck; he had cherished it and he intended
to keep it until they had a State again"-all of
which was received with tumutuous applause.
This does not look very much like smothering
the fires or suppressing the resentments, jealous
les and heartburnngs created by the war on
the contrary it indicates the intention of the
Southern leaders to keep alive bitter sectional
feeling among their people and to pave the
way, possibly, for another civil war-this
time not outside, but inside the Union
THE CANADIAN RAILWAY LoAN.-Recent ad-
vices from London inform us that the loan
for the Intercolonial Railway of the Do
minion of Canada has been put in the ,rket
Messrs. Barring e. Glynn are the agents. The
loan is to be for four millions sterling, three
millions of which are to bear interest at tho
rate OF four per cent, guaranteed by the impe-
rial government, while the remaining one
million is to bear interest at the rate Of Eve per
cent, and is to be raised exclusively on the
credit of the united colonies In the first in
stance only one-haf Of the total Is to be put
forth. The London journals speak of the loan
as certain success. We have no word to the
contrary. Whatever brings money to develop
the resources of this Continent is to us an ad-
vantage; and as this loan promises to do both
we wish it all success.

Queen victorin's Continental Tour.


The Court Circular has announced that her
Majesty Queen Victoria will leave England on
the 9Th of August, going first to Paris, whence
she will make tour through France, Switzer-
land and Germany, returning to England
about the LIST of September. From another
source 1t is given out that the first point at
which her Majesty will stop in Germany will
be the residence (before his marriage) of her
beloved and lamented consort, the late Prince
Albert, the widowed Queen regarding as
sacred any place or anything with which his
memory or his name is associated. We are
sure that throughout this proposed Continental
excursion, from point to point, she will be re-
ceived with such manifestations of respect,
esteem and sympathetic kindness, from poten-
tates and peoples, as are but seldom offered
even to the most popular queens or expresses
not more because Of her merits as benevolent
and amiable ruler over one hundred and fifty
millions of people than because of her domestic
and womanly virtues, affections and sorrow.
The universally esteemed woman, as wife,
mother and widow in this case, rises above
the popular sovereign, as her Majesty will
soon discover on her travels. We know that
if she could be induced to visit the United
States she would find it difficult to leave us,
because it is remembered here, in addition to
her claims suggested, that Queen Victoria and
Prince Albert, during our terrible war for the
Union, were with US when her Lords, Com
mons and Cabinet were against us.
TIE SHERMAN FUNDING BILL.-The scheme
of the foreign holders of our government five
twenties to insure the payment of their inte-
rest and principal in coin is in the hands Of
President johnson and awaits his signature to
become law. 1t would add one thousand
million dollars to our national debt and
would pass two thousand million dollars
through the hands of the Treasury ring man
ayers, besides leaving an unadjusted balance of
about twenty millions for any little operation
constantly in the hands of the financial agent
for the purchase of the old loan and the sale of
the new on commission. There is oonse-
quently powerful lobby at work upon all who
can influence President johnson, and upon the
President himself, to wiring from him his ap-
prevail of this gigantic job. Let us see whether
he will play into the hands Of the radicals by
signing the bill.

How are You Finnegans P

The editor of the Irish People, of
New York, among many other good
PERSONS he gives for boiling Sey-
mour and Blair and supporting Grant
and Colfax, alleges the following,
which we commend to all Irishmen
whose souls are not hopelessly tore
closed to Copperbeadism: a's5
Fourth: The Democratic party are
now obstrnctionists, conservatives,
tories, reactionists, while the Repub-
licans are progressive, liberal, and
aggressive. 1t is with the party
which moves forward, and that loves
liberty for liberty's sake, that the
Irish should advance; for it is only
from these that we can hope for any
help.
Fifth: The Radicals passed the
bill for the protection of naturalized
Irishmen, as we asked them to do !;
and be it remembered that only one
Democrat voted for the reprisai clause
in the original bill, while seven Re-
publican votes were given to sustain
it. =
Sirth We hold the cmocratic
party mainly responsible for the anti
Irish and pro English policy OF Pres
ident Johnson. He has shown him
self Indifferent to the fate ofour com
rades, and we should visit his sins
upon his political supporters.

rounds of the papers which has not
been explained nor refuted so far as

er il perfectly authentic. 1t was de-.
livered by Frank Blair, at st. Louis,
in response to Fenian serenade:

and soul, and heartily say, God bless
the FInnegans.' IA voice, 'Fenians,
General [ know what lam talking
about, and | say Finnegans. laugh

hope to see the cause flourish and
prosper, and shall bless the day when
Ireland is governed by Irishmen. In

king l will do all | can to assist you,
| will place myself, if needs be, at
your head, march with you to Staten
Island, oversee your embarkation,

your steamers, under full headwav.

will say goodbye, God bless you, and
may you be successful in your under

out OF his boots, and wrest from his
grasp the emerald gem Of the sea,
but whether or not you shall succeed
in this endeavor,in,ay you each and
all remain in ireland or elseschere, and
never again set foot upon these shores !!
You are wanted there, and zoe can get
along without you"
The man that spoke thus is un-
worthy of single Irish vote.

Seymour A Traitor.

Are we to have a traitor, and
oowardly one at that, for the next
President of the American Republic /?
Is the chair of Washington, who
drove the English tyrant, defeated
and disgraced, from this magnificent
country, to be occupied by a man
who, only four short years ago, and
in the darkest hour Of his country's
trial, was coolly proposing to the
British Ambassador, and plotting and
preparing, in conjunction with other
traitors as infamous as himself, to
bring back this very same English
tyrant, and establish bis power once
more in the very heart Of this Ameri-
can Republic +? Such man is Horatio
Seymour. The proof is before the
world. It defies contradiction. And
this is the candidate which the So
called Democracy have nominated for
the highest Office in the United States.
This is the parsonage which Tamma-
ny Hall and the Southern confeder-
ates invite and urge Irishmen as well
as Americana to vote for and support.
All who are insane or wicked enough
to comply with this very modest re.
quest, will do so with this fact staring
them in the face, that they are doing
all that lies in their power to make q
proclaimed traitor the next President
ofthe American Republic.-Irish Re
