Or No UsE.-The citizens of Cheyenne are
raising a subscription to send delegate to
Washington to represent them on the Indian
question. They will find the service of any
delegate, for that particular purpose, of no use
whatever. The Indo-phiIists at Washington
will never believe that she Indians are at fault,
or that the white men are not entirely to blame
for all the troubles, the murders, and savage
Outrages committed on the plains and frontiers
by the Indians. The Peace Commissioners, by
consent of Congress, use the public funds to
arm and equip the savages with the latest and
most effective improved firearms, and virtually
make annual presents to them for the massa-
ores and maraudings they perpetrate upon en-
igrant parties, frontier settlers, prospecting
bands, or any defenceless whites. Congress
declares this to be all right. But let the as.
sailed or threatened whites resist the savages
or 90 upon the war path to cOmmensuratsly
punish them, and Immediately the many friends
of the Indians, in both Houses of Congress-
and all the harpies In Washington and over the
whole country, who live by means of the rich
pickings of the Indian treaty or reservation
humbuggery. cry out that the whites are Gre
ating war with peaceful Indians to plumber
the public treasury, and troops are dispatched
to protect the murderous savages, and Il, auell
the ayenging whites; although, when the latter
are IN utmost peril from slaughter by Indians.
neither treaty nor protest can move the powers
that be at Washington to send q SINGLE regi
ment 70 their rescue or protection. The whole
Government plan VI treating the Indians i
criminaily wrong. We're the plains and from
tiers peopled by negroes, and the whites 10 be-.
have anything near % badly ~ do the Indians.
then would Congress, we may be sure, speedily
aud effectively apply the remedy now 80 ur-
gently required, but which i most shamefully
withheld. 8

atty occurred in Malta Township. Mr..

make its appearance. They reached
the home of Mr.. Smith, and at ONCE be-
gan TO make provision for their horses
Mr.. Smith turning his into q pasture
field, and Mr.. Clements taking his

Immediately enveloped in flames. Mr..
Clements was Immediately killed al
50 his mare, her colt which was, at the
time, some ten or fifteen feet from the

GRADING OF WOOL.
Just now we hear no small
amount Of complaint against the
wool. buyers in regard to a certain
set ofrules, which are as follows
l. A deduction of one-bolf Oh
greasy and gummy unwashed buck
feeces.
2. A deduction Of one -tbird on
heavy washed buck fleece 8.
3. A deduction OF one-third on all
other u%nwashed, Or patially washed
~ficeGes, and on eotted wool, and on
unconditional ~1eeces, made INNER
charitable by stufing with tags and
dead wool, or by an excessive use
Of Irvine, and on feeces that have
been divided for the purpose Of de-
ceiving the buyer.
4. In purchasing wool thus pre-.
pared for market, % pay a price
proportionate to its relative worth
as to texture, strength and other
desirable qualities.
How n body of mon rs intelligent
as that of the wooden manufactur-
ers should have allowed themselves
to have adopted such q set OF ar
bitrary rules rs the above, is be.
yond our comprehension.
Thirty years ago millers paid n
certain price for wheat, say one
dollar il made no difference how
dirty or shrunken the grain, 1t was
sold ut the same price per bushel
but then came the tug of war Oh the
fixing of the measure. II the wheat
was clean and plump 30 that n meas
ured bushel would weigh
sixty POUNDS, then sixty pounds
made the bushel but # foul or less
plump, seventy, eighty, and ninety,
and IN some cases, one hundred
pounds mado a bushcl. This hb.
surd rulo gave way at the first
meeting of the Board of Trade
and a bushel Of wheat wAs Fixed al
sixty pounds, and sold on its merits
as to quality and freedom from i'm
purities, thus giving a premium oI
putting it oDthe market in good or,
der. Now what 10 true OF wheat il
true of wool. To say that a pound
of wool shall weigh twenty-tour OF
thIrty.twO ounces, as in the rules, il
TO absurd TO merit attention +; and
yet the crop of wool in the country
is being bought and sold on these
old exploded rules Of the miller.
II rs very easy to fix a relative
value on woods, and to adopt q sys,
TEN that can BIO easy understood by
the producer and manufacturer
ono that will give satisfaction. Sup.
pose No. / washed wool is worth
say seveaty-five cents o pound.
there can DO no trouble in regulat,
ing the price, in tho same way that
is done on grain, especially in hous'
Os that sort their wool.
Under the present state Of the
wool market, no me 10 safe, nothing
is far ; the clean unwashed AeeceI
are sold at twenty-four ounces tC
