swiudIiny the Red Man.

Scarcely day passes III WHICH sohe
new fraud either upon the Treasury at
Washington, or through the Depart
ments upon the people is not chronicled
and commented on in the different jour
nails of the country. The latest devel-
opment in this line is made by the Sec
retary of the Interior, who orders that
hereafter all Indian claims, including
bounty and pension claims for Indian
soldiers, must be settled through his
Office. The reason assigned for this de-
cision is that the agents engaged in this
business overcharge their customers,
and the Secretary wishes to put stop
to the whole fraudulent system. But the
probe is not inserted far enough to
touch the sensitive part. 1t is well
known that Senators and members of
Congress are heavily engaged in this
Indian business. They put their fingers
in the purchase of goods for the sava-
yes, in the payment Of annual tributes
and also deal in bounty and pension
claims. One main reason why the man.
agement of Indian affairs is withheld
from the War Department, IS that In-
dian operators in the two Houses are
not willing to lose their nice little
profits arising from that source. Small
operators may ovsrcharge their cas-.
tomers-doubtless do-and the fraud
and swindle should be stopped, and the
guilty parties punished. But what will
be done, when a Senator or a member
of Congress "backs the bank 7" Will
the orders of the Secretary of the In
terror be writ in sand or traced in gran
ite then These are cases to test the
fidelity of officials. 1t costs nothing to
issue orders and strike at small offend
ers. Let the prime movers in the In
dian frauds and swindles be put upon
the legal gridiron, and then the seat of
the disease will be reached. That will
not be done under Radical Admins
tration. A noted libertine once said he
was afraid to strike child in his native
town, for ebvious reasons. A Radical
Secretary of the Interior will not raise
his hand to chastise the larger operators
in Indian claims.

came to Minnesota, and since then has
been ono Of the most influential,

Tho New York Home Journal gives
an account Of the wedding Of Mr.. John
3: Masinnis, Of New Orleans, aud Miss
Liss'e c., daughter of Hon. VIM. NJ.
Tweed Of Now York, which in point
OF floral decorations produced on tho
occasion surpassed, it is said, anything
Of the kind over given in that city.
Ihe sta'roases, ceilings, chandeliers,
mirrors, doors, ornaments and furniture
were garlanded aud fsstooned most
profusely with choice flowers and mag
ui6oent floral bells, and on every hand
exotics, vrea.hs, and cvergrcens were
artistica'ly displayed. In the front
parlor, almost obscuriug the two front
windows, tho designers had constructed
An arbo1, in which the bride and groom
received the congratulations Of their
friends 1t was composed OF two thou
sand oamelias, and daphnae, callas,
aud violets in unlimited numbers.
The arbor was crowned with a shield
of'oarlst carnations, topped with mon
ogram, N. T., formed of tube-roses.
In front Of this and separating tho
parlors, hung = marriage bell from a
massive arch Of flowers, with festoons
falling on each side. At the rear Of
the parlors, two very large floral harps
we're stationed, screening the musicians.
The decoration of tho staircase was a
very effective piece of work. Being
spiral in construction, a person standing
on the lowest floor could see to tho
very roof Of the house.
The greenhouses Of Boston, Phila-
dclphia and Baltimore were ransacked
tor the occasion. Among the flowers
were 100000 camelias, 100, 900 prim-
roses, $4,000 white azaliae, and 1000
heads Of daphnae; and some idea Of the
extent Of this reckless if not criminal
extravagance cau be formed by those
who know anything Of what so choice
greenhouse productions cost in mid.
winter.
Forty men aud boys werc occupied
for some days in preparing the frame
work, and they were all engaged DUR
ing the whole Of Tuesday night in ar
ranging the flowers. Among the bri-
dal presents were $4,000 worth of
diamonds.
