GEOLOGICAL Discovery friends Of
Rev. Prof. John B. Perry. formerly of Swan
ton. will be gratifed to learn that he has quite
recently made a very important Geological
discovery which, independent OF the high hon
ors he has alreacy won in that field, is destin-
ed to place him in the very front rank of sci
entifc men, We understand that the very
remarkable fossil deposit on the farm Of Mr..
y. R. Parker of Georgia, figures somewhat
extensively among the data upon which the
discovery is founded.-Transcripf

the Civil List on which a motion was
made for a po>tponemeut till the end OF
he wear. TO this the Governor object
led. There were, said he, a good nldny
arguments against a postpontment, but
mot one in favour of il. From the des-
patch Of the Secretary of State it was.
Ieyident that no Civil List would be ac-
Icepted which dill not include a salary for
/, Chief Justice, and it Vas also stated
that in the matter of the charges against
the Chief Justice, her Majesty would be
GUIDED bv the decision OF the PrIvy Coun-
ell. 1t was alleged that certain acts had
been done by the Chief Justice suhSe-
queQtly to the period when the Memorial
was addressed to the SECRETARY of State,
hut before taking any action 1t would be
better to await the decision Of the Prlvy
Council. AS the Civil List was a question
between her MajeSty's Government aud
1.-THE Court, it was desirable that members
should place confidence in the Govern
ment, and vote The Civil List without. re-
terence to the question pending. On dl-
vision the motion to postpone the ques-
lion was lost. 1t was then proposed to
reducc the Chief Justices salary from
C., 500 to go, 900, so long as that officer
did not hold a seat in the Court ofPolicy.
His Exceliency hereupon reminded MEM
Ibrrs that the Chief Justice had been APP
pointrd to a seat in the Court of Policy
by Royal Instructions. and that it was by
IRoyal Instructions that he no longer oc-
cupied that seat. BY some of the popnla-
ton it was held that the Chief Justice
was Just as independent as any elective
member, and the practical effect of this,
would be to give the elective section a
majority, which was certainly foreign to
line policy of her Majesty's Government,
and foreign to sound policy. The syste
matte opposition which the Chief Justice
had offered to the Government had rem
dered it necessary that his position should
be considered; the Secretary of State had
therefore come to the conclusion that it
would be much better to conine the
Judge to his judicial duties, and it was
very questionable whether her Majesty's
Government would sanction his return 10
the Court Of Policy. On a division the
motion was lost. The following resolu-
lItions were then agreed to;-A loan OF
, 1868-08-04

for The conStructionsot the Dry Dock IN
ten annual instruments, with interest at
six per cent; a loan of $500 dollars to
|pay off the Museum debt and a loan OF
I6O, 900 dollars for drainage. 1t was hen
resolved-the elective members alone vot-
ing-SThat this Court, in Difference to
the wishes Of his Grace the Secretary Of
State, and Induced thereto by the assur-
ance that the case of the Court OF Policy

out unnecessary delay, having passed re-
solutions granting TO Her Majesty the
Queen a Civil List for seven years, from
LIST January, 1869, are yet anxious TO re-
cord their unabated sense OF the import
IAN e of the case referred to, and their
Earnest expectation that a successful re-
suit to the application from this Court
will tend to restore public confidence IN
he administration of the law, which has
been so MUCH shaken for several years"
There was a Great political move on the
Board, the object being a total change IN
the constitution of the Colony. The COM
pIaint is that>the mass is not properly re-
presented, the Legislature being composed
llmost exclusively Of planters, while pro-
I~feSional men, merchants and others who
are competent from their talent and po-
<ition to do good service, are excluded.
A memorial to the Queen was IN course
of preparation proposing TO sweep away
the Combined Court, the Court of Policy,
land the Electoral College, and to AVE
some form of government by which the
general body of the people would be
better represented than at present. The
H1oyai Gazette, commencing upon this
movement, makes the following significant
remarks :-"Allhough the present con-
slitution Of the Colony may be open to
reform, we would be sorry to see it
thoroughly altered without some salts
factory proof that the change would be
for the better. When we look at jamaica,

More Indian HOstilitics,

From the ~. y Herald.
No sooner are we assured that final treaty
Of peace has been concluded with the Indians
than information arrives of renewal of depre-
dations upon the white settlers and travellers
OF the far West. By telegram published
elsewhere we learn that by reason of these
depredations the agent at Fort Larned refused
to furnish the savages with arms and ammu-
milton, and forthwith our red men and brothers
declared this to be violation Of the treaty
and announced themselves as ready for war.
To make good their threat trains were soon
after attacked and robbed and lieutenant and
five privates of the army were subsequently
murdered. AT last accounts the military
authorities were concentrating troops at Fort
Larned, and orders had been issued to the
various posts to prepare for action
at moments notice. In the meantime the
Indians had been informed that the Govern
ment, though anxious for peace, was fully pre-
pared to wage war-an announcement which
had the effect of awing them somewhat
although they continued sullen and discon-
tented. Thus the matter stood when the des-
patch was sent, and we doubt if the next in
telligence will be more favorable. The course
pursued by the Government towards these
Indians has been most vacillatng one, and a
disgrace to great nation. If our army had
been made to whip the savageB thoroughly,
instead of "peace commissioners" being sent
to negotiate treaties, their arrogance and hos
tility to the whites would have long ago dis
appeared, and the settlers upon the Plains
would have now been able to dwell with safety
in their cabins and peacefully carry out the
destiny of our civilization. We feel assured
that the most rigorous measures will alone
teach these redskins to fear and submit to the
power of the Government.

The Indian Treaties.

BfoTt me AZ Y. Times.
Congress has SO long delayed action in re
gard to Indian matters that it is extremely
doubtful If any definite policy will be agreed
upon at this session. 1t will be a most unfor
inmate thing for the w est however, if this
important matter is left for another year in
its present unsettled condition. The Indians,
discouraged and disgusted at the non-fulill-
ment OF the treaties which they entered into q
year ago, are repeating their operations OF last
season, and rowing bands are carrying terror
to the hearts of hundreds of settlers. The
depredations already committed by them this
year will serve to intimidate hundreds of
emigrants, who would otherwise have made
their homes on the frontier.
For all these outrages tAe Government is
directly responsible. The Indian Peace Com
mission which was sent ont last year sue
ceeded, after great trouble aud at a heavy ex-
pense, in reaching the hostile tribes, and in
perfectiDg satisfactory treaties with them. By
the terms of these treaties the Indians were TO
be concentrated on certain lands set apart ex-
clusively for their use, mills, stores, churches,
and schools were to be erected for them, aud
Government agents were to instruct them in
agricultural pursuits and in the raising of
stock. In short, the red man was to be- gra-
dually civilized, and taught to earn his living
by the sweat of his brow.
But these treaties are good for nothing until
ratified by the authorities at Washington.
This has not yet been done, Notwithstanding
the fact that the Commissioners have repeat
edly urged it upon the attention of the proper
officials. They assert that this delay is the
direct cause of the Indian hostilities this sea-
son, and predict that unless something is done
speedily the dissatisfaction among the red men
will become more general, and another Indian
war be the result.

Fools,
From The ". Y. Citizen.

From the ". Y. Citizen.
Though you bray fool in mortar, his
folly will not depart from him." We have
not only brayed them in mOrtars, but in riled
cannon, in ffteen-inch guns, and in many
other curious and unpleasantly effective in
struments, and still their folly seems to be
altogether their most prominent quality. AT
Vicksburg and Fort st. Philip we brayed them
with our mortars, at Fort Pulaski we devoted
our rifed ordnance to their service, at Savan-
nah we turned our ftteen-inch guns to their
improvement, and at Richmond we gave the N
the finishing touch with whatever We had at
commando and yet they come back to US
what is left of them-as fresh in their folly as
ever. In fact, the process seems only to have
brought the disease to the surface, and they
are blooming all over with folly spots, as well
soaked tOpers do with gin blossoms. One of
the most prominent of them helps along the
election of Seymour and Blair by announcing
that IT would result in the salvation OF the
"Lost Cause" Another repudiates the plank
of the Democratic platform which announces
as the settled conviction of North and South
alike of Union and Rebel solders-that Sc
cession is dead; and they all proclaim that the
election of Seymour and Blair is to be the
vindcation, and possibly the renewal Of Re-
belliOn.
This is bad enough but worse remains to
be told. 1t is announced that rebel generals

ties than they have as yet shown in this can
vass. If they can draw over the negro vote
on fair basis, such as qualified suf-
| frage, let them do so. We do not care to
have BucSner's opinion that Grant is no Gen
eral. Questions of this kind are pretty we'll
settled in our view, and are not involved in
the present election. If they were, and the
Democrats took the Southern side, we should
not be left with a corporal's guard on election
day Every rebel speech at the North-and
rebels seem unable TO make any but rebel
speeches-wll cost us a hundred votes for
every one it gains. The North desires re-
uniOn-reunien of heart as well as Of territory
and when the SOutherners honestly desire
the same, they can benefit themselves and
their country by saying so openly and dis
tinctly. Right glad will the North be to hear
the utterance, but we can hear 1t from the
south-the birth place ofsecessiOn-as we'll as

UNJUST ATTACK.-In the conrse of a
recent speech at Leavenworth. General
Blair made the following attack upon
some gentlemen with whom he has re-
Gently been very intimately connected:
4" The secret of the adherence of Cen
erals Grant, Sheridan, and other reru-
lar officers to the Radical party, is the
tendency Of that party, which has over
thrown the prerogatives Of the Supreme
Court and Executive branch Of the
Government toward military despotism:
which, being necessarily based upon
military power, would give consequence
to prominent officers Of the army"
To which the New York San wei
says:
This is exceedingly unjust to men
whose patriotism, fidelity to duty. and
purity of motive can well bear comparj-
son with the highest qualities that have
ever been attributed to Gen. Blair
Such officers as W. T. Sherman. Pbilip
ii. Sheridan, George II. Thomas, Geo.
G. Meade, and hundreds of others of
lower rank, but equally honorable fame,
do not gauge their political convictions
by their personal interests, still less by
latent love ofIEilitary despotism. They
are men of deep convictions, as they
have proved by resisting the most bril-
liant and powerful temptations that the
rebellion could Offer Gen. Blair's re-
mark is a gratuitous insult to those who
We're lately his comrades; and although
1t is not his habit to retract his impru-
dent and wrong utterances, he ought in
this case to make an exception to his
rule, In the form of the most ample
apology which it is in his power to
frame.

THE WAY TO RULE US.-In the last

closing portion of letter which must
prove acceptable to our lady readers, as
! iudcious advice, and to our male read
ers as information which they must be
cautious that their wives no not profit

for catching a sufficient husband, the di-
rections for ruling and governing him
in the right way appropriately follow:
Having caught your hare next pro-
coed to skin him. the old cookery book
SAYS; so having chosen your husband,
next begin to break him in, my Judiana
Far be il from Mrs. Punch to come be-
fore the world a. a Female Rarey, and
yet has not Mr. Punch himself gone
through 4 mild process of tanning?
For, if we unfortunate women who are
so shamefuliy enslaVcd by the laws of
our country had no moral weapons
wherewith to defend ourselves. we
should be in worse plight than the
squaws OF babarious tribes. Thank the
happy tates, therefore, that you are
blessed with a tongue, Il fountain of
tears, and an implicable memory. An
ordinary dome stic tyrant may be kept
perfectly tractable by the cunning use
of the first appliance, an extraordinary
one is ia med with the second, and the
most incOrrigible despOt going cannot
stand the third. For instance, your
husband is sulky when asked to take
you to Switzerland, OF to buy you a new
pianO-but you can remember thou
sand things he said once upon a time
in the SpOOning season, as COuTtship is
vulgarly called-bearing upon foreign
trips. or pianos, or anything You faneied,
when You were an angel. Recall these
things, emitting neither dates, norinter-
esting geographical atmospheric facts.
Such, for instance, as "How we strayed
from the otheis at the picnic, and it
rained, and we stood under tree " &c,
&C., &c, or, How we stayed at such or
such a place in North Wales on our
wedding tour, and there was a horrid
cracked piano, and you said,-Oh, that
men should be so depraved you said,
that | should have Il Broadwood,"
&c, &c.
Take heed that you use your memory
discreetly, my daughter, and you will
never find your husband more than you
can fairly battle with. Never forget to
remind him in season how often he goes
TO the Club, how seldom he takes you to
the Opera, what he spends on his own
pleasures, what he ought TO spend on
yours. What selfish creatures men are
and what mistake marriage is. Obey
these instructions, and you viii have
every reason to bless your mother.
