any satisfactory explanation or defence against these

thus purchased was 'for very nall supply, which
the superintendent deemed necessary to take down
with him." The charge Of buying corn OF the gov
ernment for eighteen cents per busael and selling it
back again at eight dollars per bdshel is not even
noticed.

Uncle Sam and the Indians, l am not informed

DIsGEACEFUL CoNDUCr. About l

entertainment given by Mr.. T. J.
Robertson, the delegate of the Re-
construction Convention, to his
colleagues, WAS concluded, num-
Der of the colored men, accom-
panied by friends and the band
of the 9th United States Infantry,
visited the Mills House and sought
admission to his room, for the pur-
pose of giving him serenade AR.
Purcell, the pr"r ietor, properly pro-
tested against the proceeding, on the
ground that it would annoy his
guests; but before they could be in
duced to leave the premises, some Of
them INDUCED in the most blasphe-
nous and obscene language, whilst
others, who were very much intoxi-
Gated, defiled the carpets and stair
way by spewing upon them. Mr..
Purcell demeaned himself with great
GOODNESS in the face of his violent
provocation, and sent to the guard
house to invoke the aid of the muni-
cipal authority in ejecting his unwel-
come visitors. Before the police
arrived, however, wiser counsels pre-
vailed amongst the party, and they
retired. The whole affair was one of
the most aggravating nuisances which
we have ever had to record, and in
view of the position of those who
were responsible for it, was entirely
inexcusable.

REVOLUTION AND REpUDIATIoN.-
The New York Commercial, IN ably
conducted Republican journal, con-
tinucs to express much uneasiness at
the revolutionary complexion of
things at Washington. The financial
situation, too, troubles it:
"We are drifting into repudiation!
We are SO drifting, not because our
debt is too onerous, or that our peo-
pie are dishonest, but because Con
gress is either insensible to the dan
ger or Indifferent to its consequences.
If Mr.. Morrill,, of Maine, thinks
that q spread eagle speech about
faith, honor and integrity, will bridge
over the danger, he is fatally mis-
taken. Two things, at least, must
be done. Expenses must be dimi-
nished and the rate of interest must
be reduced. Both are practicable.
Congress can effect both, and it will
be held responsible for its refusal or
neglect to save us from great dam
ger and greater shame"
