The Indians Again.

A letter from the Indian territory
says those Indians that have refused to
come in on any terms, are committing
deprcdations on the border, and have
killed three men within the past three
weeks. Those here, while they appear
to desire peace, are profuse in their
promises Of future good conduct, still
they are only waiting for the grass to
fatten their horses and the issue of their
goods. when the western frontier of
Kansas and the northern counties OF
Texas will be again the scene of their
butcheries.

Spirits VS.. Water.

The "oldest inhabitant" has been
reading series Of articles on the adul-
teration of liquors. and has arrived az
a somewhat singular conclusion. The
analysis of those liquors showed an av-
erage of about siXty-fve parts of wa
ter and thirty-fve of spirits. "They
don't give the spirits fair chance
said the aged bacchanal "they'll keep
on fooling with water until it depopu-

Our Poor Girls.

Somebody asks what becomes of our
poor girls? Pretty much the same, we
suppose, as becomes of our rich girls.
They marry, eat, drink, sleep, rear chill
drcn and die. A poor girls life in the
main points, is not unlike that of the
girl born to wealth. The end is certain
to be very similar.

AWAsHTNGTON correspondent says
that Senators and Representatives
who a few years ago were "as poor
as JOBS turkey" are now able TO
"sport fine carriages, buy grand hous-
Is, and live in purple and fine %linen,"
and ask how they can do it on the
Congressional pay. Upon which the
Brooklyn Eagle puts the following
pointed conundrum: How can impe-
cuniOus legislators, who go to Albany
on free passes, not having money to
pay their fares, come back opulent
I~andhOlders on three hundred dol
lars?" This is an inquiry which
comes right near home. How is it
that some clerks spend three salaries,
some aldermen have fat living and no
pay, some clerks a moderate compen-
satiOn provided by law and larger in
comes and larger fortunes than other
people, and that while the people
groan with taxes only officials are
gay, jolly and rich? If any Of our
legislators went to Nashville on free
passes for want Of money to pay their
fares, viii they also return Opulent on
a salary Of four dollars a day?

WE have had little to say about the
Presidents message, for several rea-
sons. One was that, the intelligent
readers OF the APPEAL could not need
our aid in giving Interpretation to a
commonplace document, which, for
logic, rhetoric or grammar, viii never
immortalise the man who wrote it for
General GRANT, and which, when it
emerged from the mysterious pres
ence, wherein il was shrOuded until
the moment Of It's delivery, really
gave 10 the country almost nothing
new. Another was that, coming from
the President, We would not abuse it,
and, as deficient IN merit, we could
not praise. The truth is, our glasses
are not the best in the world, and we
have some difficulty in reading
"smau print.n 1t has the merit of
being shorter, and containing less
than any annual message we remem-
Der 10 have read. And if the general
titles and platiJudes by which candOr
and real ISSUES are so often and with
some felicity avoided were stricken
out, IL might have been considerably
shorter. his recommendation to re-
store Virginia required but few words,
and his silence as to Mississippi, Texas,
and Georgia might lave been as
well expressed without any. He
might have limited the TACT that
those states had yet some consti-
tu,.Cual rights which he had sworn to
maintain But that did not suit his
pleasure, and, therefore, we think,
he might as well have omitted ali
mention of them whatsoever. He
thinks the way TO return to specie
currency is for the Treasury to redeem
lis paper, which would certainly have
o tendency that way, 20 Tar as it goes,
T=O b goes lar enough. He does tell
as that the national revenues exceed
the expenditure, but without
recommending reduction Of taxa
uyu, or indicating any great measures
OF economy. The truthfulness of his
boasts OF the prosperity Of the country
is predetermined, when the ~prOdigious
causes " growth are all con-
sidered. lie deals with foreign affairs
in q tone OF INDIGESTION, and his policy
as 70 Cuba itself is as much in the
dark as before the message swas writ
zen. lie is opposed TO the "tenure-
ofoHce act" which he supported
against Johnson, but which, now his
own bull i. gored, he does not like so
well. Upon the whole, as a public
document, this message is the feeblest
which has em8n8ted from an Ameri-
can President, and the solution OF no
one single question Of national impor-
tauce is furnished by it. Though we
looked Tor little, weconfess our disap-
pO]inuLnent in getting even less than
We expected.

CHARLES SUMNER having said at
the Philadelphia Academy Of Music
that "GoD was clearly the father OF
all men, hence all men are equal"
the Age replies: "The learned The
ban is slightly mistaken. All men
are not exactly equal. SHAKESPEARE
assures US that some men are born
great, that some achieve greatness,
and that some have greatness thrust
upon them. Now, SHAKESPEARE knew
a great deal more about human ma
turet than SUNNER-particularly white
human nature. Besides, all men are
not quite equal in courage. Some per-

are instances in which property hold

out Of the hands Of the collectors, and,
no proceedings being instituted, the
tax is lost TO the corporation. Such is

HON. JOHN BAXTER is a candidate
for the State Convention from Knox

giants Of the State, and we hope may
be elected to serve it in a Ca
pacity where his great talents viii be

ing extract from a circular he has
lately issued;
"AfteE four years Of bloody war,
active hOstilities ceased, and with
such cessation came numerous other
evils Of formidable import and most
alarming proportions. Incompetent,
bad men-GOv. BrOwnlOw and the
clique OF active spirits that surrounded

advancement of their own personal

As well as the dictates of honesty and

temperament, the regard for justice

for such an undertakings the results
of his administration have clearly
demonstrated. Recognizing no differ
ence between his own will and the
constitution and laws Of the State, and
urged on by a bad heart, which drew
consolation from the oppression of
others, he assumed to exercise
absolute power and to perpetu-
ate every conceivable outrage
known to petty tyrants. In the short
period Of four years Of his admin
istratiOn, the public school fund was
distracted from the Treasury and ap-
p%ropriated by a band Of plunderers;
taxes were increased four-fOld; the
