Messrs. r. a. Caruth and James
Fades, who left here some time ago
in charge of a drove of cattle, have
returned, and report that they were
attacked by the Usage indians, on
the Verdegris river, north of Ar
kansas river. They captured two
beef steers, but manifested no de-
sire to kill the drovers. Two more
steers were taken by the same tribe
still farther up the Verdigris, in the
territory of the Usage nation.
Between the mouth of the Little
Arkansas and Abeline river, another
tribe-the Chiennes--camo upon
them and captured seven beefSteers,
just at daylight. They immediate
ly slaughtered, cooked and ate them,
in the presencesof Messrs. Caruth &
Fades and ten drovers. The Indians
were seventy.fivo strong. They
said they had been over at Council
Grove, fighting the Caws, or Kansas
indians. They were very friendly,
in conversation.

Bonds and Taxation.

In Mr. Sherm MS new bill for the
issue Of bonds, to be called the Con-
solidated Debt of the United States,
is the provision that 1.-The same shall
be exempt from taxation in any form
in or under State. municipal or local
authority, and the same and the
interest thereon and the income
thereon. shall be exempt from the
Payment of all taxes or duties to the
United States, other than such in
come tax as may be assessed upon
other incomes"
Our legislators will do well TO scru
tinize the above proposition in all its
bearings b. fore they give it the sane.
ton Of their votes. The attempt to
excite odium against bond holders,
is meeting with a degree of success
that is ominous. Thousands upon
thousands among the people regard
tax exemption OF Cover nment securi.
ties as class legislation of the worst
description. While they perfectly
appreciate the binding force of plight,
ed faith. and are fully resolved that
all past contracts shall be kept il
spirit as well as in letter. they arc
strongly opposed to entering into an,
new bargains which contain an inn,
munity so repugnant to their sens,
of justice.

the manner and mode Of proceedings.
as laid down in the Constitution, are
of especial interest. They are as fol
lows:
ARTICLE I. SEC. 2. The House OF
Representatives shall choose their
Speaker and other officers. and shall
hare the sole potoer Of Impeachment
ARTICLE |. SEC g. The Senate
shall have the sole power to try all
impeachments. When sitting for that
purpose they shall be on oath or af
firmation. When the President OF
the United States is tried, the Chief
Justice shall preside, and no person
shall be convicted without the con-
currence of two thirds of the mem
bers present. Judgment in cases OF
impeachment shall not extend furth
err than to removal from Office and
disqualification to hold end enjoy any
office OF honor, trust, or profit under
the United States; but the party con
victed shall nevertheless be liable
and subject to Indictment, trial,
judgment, and punishment according
to law.
ARTICLE IL. SEC. The Pres !.
dent, Vice President, and all civil
officers OF the United States shall be
removed from Office on impeachment
for, and correction of treason, bri
berry, or other high crimes and INSIDE
meanors
The constitution makes no provis
ion whether the official impeached
shall be suspended from Office during
trial. or not; and this one of the first
questions that must be settled before
proceeding with the case. Against
suspension. it may be arged that such
course would practically give the
House Of Representatives the power
of removing the President-a power
too dangerous to be accorded, and
which, in times of high political ex>
element, might be ruinous to the
liberties of the country. On the
other hand, it will be urged that
when a President perpetrates crimes
of such magnitude and gravity that
two>thirds of the representatives of
tie people in Congress feel justified
in impeaching and arraigning him
for trial, he should not be permitted,
in the mean time, to exercise the
functions of his Office. The force of
this argumen, is apparent, but as
the case stands, we believe Congress
will not, at present, resort to the
alternative of declaring Mr.. J ohnson
suspended from Office, until the evi>
dence shall sustain the articles pre>
scented By the House.

Anarchy and Authority"

Since writing the article entitled,
First principles Of Government"
published in the last Herald, | have
fallen upon a sentiment, corrobora,
tive of the general tenor of that arti-
Gle, which comes from the very high
esi authority, and Ibeg leave to copy
it for the Information OF your read
ers. 1t is embodied in an article
from the pen of the great English
poet and Libcralist, Mathew Arnold.
entitled aAnarcby and Authou,y,"
first published in the Cornhill Mag.
azine, and now copied into EUery
Saturday. Here is the quotation
In the last number of the West

our present needs an English transla

Humbol's object in this book is to
show that the operation OF Govern

one of the most beautiful and perfect
souls that have ever existed, used to
say that ones business in life was, first
to perfect ones self by all the means
in ones power, and, secondly, to try
and create in the world around one
an aristocracy, the most numerous
that one possibly could, OF talents and
characters. He saw, Of course, that
in the end, everything comes to this,
that the individual must act for him
self; and be lived in country, Ger
many, where people were disposed
to act too little for themselves, and
torely too much on the Government.
We hope all who take an interest
in this question of Governmental au
thority and Limitation, will not fail c
procure a copy of Mathew Arnold,
able and exhaustive treatise and read
for themselves, what he says supon
"Ihe rtght reason Of things" and how
to seek it. And upon "The natura
taste for bdthos," which seems to per.
wade society in all its parts, and how
to avoid it.
While my hand is in / beg leave
to quote from the same subject, viz
I'm France, the action of the state on
individuals is yet more preponderanl
than in Germany and the need
which friends of human perfection
feel to enable the individual to stand
perfect on his own foundation is al
the stronger" But what says one OF
the keencst of these friends, Mon.
sieur Renan, on state action, and even
state action in that very sphere
where in France it is most excessive
the sphere of education? Here are
his words: "a liberal believes in
liberty, and liberty signifies the nom
Intervention of the State. But such
an ideal is still long way off from
US, and the very means to remove il
to an indefinite distance would be
precisely the States Withdrawing it,

is even truer of education than OF
any other department of public af-
fairs"
