Edwin n. Stanton to the position. and

NEST This change pisces the Sopreme
Court -nnaer the control OF live men and
true Republicans.
The appointment Of S,sn,on is signif
cant for seversl reasons. and indicates
Grants sentiments pretty clearly. Stan
ton was the life snd soul of tie Radical
element IN Lincoln's Cabinet. 1t VISA he
who urged war in earnest. and insisted
on wiping out Slavery completely. long
before It was done. He favored banging
rebels. end is to-day more heartily hated
and sbused by Northern rebels than any
other msn in the country except Butler.
When Grant. ct the command Of Andy
johnson, superseded Stanton in the War
Office. the Democracy tried hard to make
it.sppesr that Grant was unfriendly to
Stanton. This appointment Of him. at
the irst opportunity. to high position
for life. shows Grsnt's feeling toward
Stanton. Then, Stanton is Radically
Union snd Republican in principle.
wherein be is in direct opposition to the
dersgoeue Chase. His appointment to
cit on the bench with Chase. with eqnsl
voice and power. in place Of one who
agreed with Chase. means something.
This country owes Edwin NJ. Stanton
Q vast debt. He left the Cabinet broken
in besIth. because be had devoted sll his
time and energy TO the service Of the
country. He left it poor man. because
he served bis country without stealing
from it. His appointment to an office,
the salary of which he will recsive during
bis life. even after he retires from the
office. is fair start toward justice, in .
pecuniary point of view.

HIGHLAND, KANSAS, Dec. II, lS69.
You will be interested to know that the
Highland people are now deeply engaged in
reviring and giving new energy and life to
their literary institution. The scheol here,
called the Highland University, now under the
care of Prof. Gage. has been in existence for
over twelve years-having been chartered oy
the Territorial Legislature. in 1851 The
school has been in successful operation ever
since, but since the commenc. Of the
va, has not made much advancement in Pro-
perty or number of scholars.
The Board of Directors have had several
full and very satisfactory meetings, and have
passed a number of spirited resolutions, y ~hich
have been brought before the public, and met
With most hearty and unanimous endorsement,
by large meeting of citizens. who at the time
we're addressed BY the Rev Messrs. Chapman
Of Troy, and Cooper, Of Atchison. The reso
lutious are in substance these:
lst. That, trusting in Divine favor, re
will arise and 60 forward with the enlargement,
of our institution, to meet the demands Of the
country around u.s."
ID. Aim at a cum of not less than half q
million of dollars, to be raised from resource:
at home and abroad, to enlarge, equip. ant
endow the institution, that it may be adequate
to the work it has to do, and worthy the des
tiny before it.
80. Appoint two efficient agents, one fo
home work and one to send abroad. The
home work to be commenced in the way o
soliciting subscr iptions and commencing build
ings and improv ements, and the agent for tn,
work abroad to commence as soon as possible
4th. To prepare a circular, in pamphle
form. together with a map, giving some ac
count of the origin, history, condition, loca
tion and surroundings. with future prospects o
the institution, viii ch is to be widely circula
ted.
If these resolutions mean any thing at all
land We believe they do,) they mean thes
two things, at least: First, "A result of vas
impo rtance to our whole community, as vel
as neighboriug Counties and States. No maj
having the ordinary gifts of humanity, bu
must feel an interest in an enterprise lik
this. And no man pretending to the highe
gifts of philanthropy and Christianity but will
feel anxious to bear hand in such a work a
this. And, Secondly, 1t means rork. Sue
q result cannot be reached without earnest an
long continued work, and it will require tn
united effort of all who are concerned. Tn
sum (half Hiilion) aimed at, may seem larg
to some, and may provoke a smile, but it ha
better be increased than reduced from tha
amount. But we do not intend to argue thi
at present, nor d" we intend to cularse on tn
subject in any of its aspects. We wish merel
to mention the facts. and ask the aid and Ct
operation of the press, and of the friends {
education in tbs immediate vicinity. that the
may be informed. and become interested in
work intended for the good Of all.

I.dian Treaties.

Sidney CLARKE has introduced bill in
Congress. the object Of which is to pro-
hibit the making Of Indian treaties from
and after its passage. As we hsvs not
seen the provisions of this bill. we do not
know what he proposes to do with the
Indians. Bnt we hope his bill may not
pass; or. II it does. that it msy not be-
come Law before certain treties that
have already been made. bavs been rsti-
ifed BY the Senate.
One treaty that ought to bsrstiied with
ont delay. is the one concluded between the
Atchison and Nebraska and other Rail-
road Companies and the lows aud Sac In-
disn.. The prosperity ofthis section Of the
country and the welfare OF the indians
alike demand it. In fact. the only per.
sons having an especial interest in oppos-
ing IL, are the Indian Agents. who dislike
to give up sn Office with fst salary.
in Q locstion surrounded BY white set
tlsments-it is so mnch more pleasant
than to be located away in the Indisn
country. where there sre no white settle
ments for hundreds Of miles. The In.
dians themselves are convinced that Il
would be bsssstess I'm to sell ont .nd
remove to other quarters. and would be-
perfectly willingto do so. ifthey were not
Influenced by those having authority over
them.
The Indians on those lands. are 9 nu-
isance. and . draw back to the country.
They produce nothing. and their lands
are. for all practical purposes, wild lands,
doing neither themselves nor other peo-
pie any good. They have the best quail
ity of land in all this countryside very
pick of choice land. with an abundance
Of good timber. This timber they are
gradually fritterins away. in such man.
ner that it amounts TO nothing: snd when,
fnsl'y. the lsnd is openei for white se.
Element. it will he stripped Of ell its valu.
able timber. The Indians. by their close
proximity 10 white settlements, are con.
stsntly led into drunkenness snd vice, and
are dying Of. or numbering each other ia
their drunken carousslf; their little on.
nuities are spent for whiskey. or in trash
sold to them at ten prices; they are led
to indnlge in vices degrading both tc
Themselves and the whites.
By the treaty made with the r .ilrosd
Companies. the Indians are to receive
much higher prices for their lands than
were ever before given in an Indian treaty;
and the instrument contains other pro.
visions in the highest degree favorable to
the Indians. The rstifi cation Of the
treaty wonld aid in the building of On
important railroad, and would open to
settlement large tract of land from which
settlers are effec'uslly debsrred SO long as
the Indians remain. A proviso might
probably be added. rquiring the Rail
road Company to sell the lands to ac,ual
settlers; for lands in the hands OF specu.
lstors are in little better condition thsn
in - hands Of Indians; and single
Write settler on quarter section Of land.
without dollar in his purse. but able
and willing to work, is worth more than
a whole tribe of Indians or spectators.
By sll means. let the treaty be ratified.
