Unfortunate Doctrine.

Speaking of the Cuban question, the
Presidents message says:
The principle is maintained, however,
that this nation is its own judge when
to accord the rights of belligerency,
either to people struggling to free
themselves from government they be.
lieye to be oppressive, or to independ-
ent nations at war with each other.
1t strikes us that this paragraphsTir-
tually comedies the whole ground upon
which the Government claims repara-
tion from England for her course during
the rebellion. The United States can
claim 90 right for themselves that may
not be claimed by any other nation. If,
then, this Government is its own judge
of tho time when to accord belligerent
rights, England must be conceded to
have an equal right of free and inde-
pendent judgment upon the same ques-
ton. England has now but to set up
that in recognizing the belligerency of
the Confederacy she was merely e1er-
cising the right of Judgment which the
United States claim, and GRANT is
debarred from prosecuting against the
former country the American claim for
reparation.

ness and outward liberation possess him

syrup than ten teething babies; be is
the most aggravated subject for
salve that has been seen since
the days of LAZARUS. His troubles
are all the result of the message
business. He proposed to astonish
the reading public by his enterprise in
publishing that document and lie merely
succeeded in getting laughed at. To
hide his modification, he proceeds to
demonstrate that the REGISTER did not
beat the Intelli9eneer out Of sight in its
extra of Monday evening, because the
latter contained more matter Tuesday Y

Yesterday morning the REGISTER con.
tained the news of the shaking of the

course of argument as on the message

prove that he beat US in this, because

the Administration the "peace" pre-

just as much good order in Texas

need expect while the bayonet rule is
continued. Take the military away

We beg leave to remind our carbun-
cled cotemporary that. the question at
issue is simply this: Was the Ints!ligencer
beaten by the REGISTER in the publiea-
tion of an extra containing the messagei
The former paper announced that it
would receive the message "at the
earliest moment" earlier than anybody
else, and would publish accordingly.
Its advertisement was q long way
ahead of its enterprise. Our extxa edi-
tion was about disposed of before the
Intelligencer containing the. message
made its appearance. We do not care
about putting salt and pepper on our
neighbours wounds, but will centent our.
sci yes by saying that after his compost
tors had finished their work there were
not brains enough in the balance
Of the establishment to put the
message together in order.
Fortunately for the Intelligencer folks,
the REGISTER extra was furnished
them, from which they could learn the
way out of their troubles. Instead Of
being grateful for timely assistance,
the Intelligencer betakes itself to making
mouths and venting it's ill-humor on its
benefactor. Thankless as our neighbor
is, he is harmless and tolerably anus
ing. Perceiving that he feels very
badly, we tender him our sympathy,
and bespeak for him an carly visit of
the Health Officer.

A wboie,ome Propo.ition.

Senator TRUMBULL has introduced
bill making it penal offence for MEM
bers of Congress to recommend appoint
men.s to Federal Offices. His biz makes
the whole subject of official appointment
Independent ofCongressional influence,
except in cases where the heads of de-
partments make a special request for
information from members. The meas
ure will create a lively iscussion, but
it will not pass. The course of the Sen.
ate, in the matter Of the Tenure of Office
Act, shows how greedy that body is for
tho retention of patronage and power,
aud indicates firm opposition on its
part to the TRUMBULL bill. The House
ahc will be averse, for the reason that
it will deprive the loyal" members of
the means whereby they draw adherents
around themselves and control re- nom
nations and the like There will be
much buncombe on the bill, but it will
not pass.

Annual Report Of the Secretary OF tho
Interior.

WASHINGTON, d. c., December 6.
The Report of the Secretary of the
Interior states that the amount OF pub
lie lands sold during the year was $685..
l5l acres-absut one million greater
than during the previous year. The
number entered under the homestead
laws, which are included in the above,
exceeds last year by 100000 acres. The
cash receipts are nearly four and half
millions of dollars. 1892 patents were
issued during the year, the fees being
S2l3, ,926 in excess of expeditures exceed
ed the receipts.
An appropriation is asked for the
Patent Office for the next fiscal year, of
S564 ,420.
Thirty millions will be required for
.he pension service during the next fs.
cal year.
The Secretary urges the assemblage
Of Indians upon larger reservations,
where their numbers will be more ag-
created, aud where the more civilized
of them will iuhuence the others in
striving to progress in the arts of peace,
and earnestly recommends an approprl-
alton to enable the tribes in the Indian
Territory proper to form general or
ganization, with most of the elements
of territorial government. He believes
them well prepared to dispense with the
tutelage of agents, if they may have O
delegate in the House of Representa-
lives to speak for them.
The Iadians north of Platte River are
yet unprepared for similar organiza'
tion, but the time cannot be far distant
when two or three principal Indian Ter
ritories may properly embrace all tribes
east of the Rocky Mountains.
The same policy of concentration will
apply to the country west of the Rocky
Mountains.
The Secretary approves of the labors
of the Peace Commission, and the policy
now pursued by Indian agents.
lie suggests the placing of the educa-
tion of freedmen under the charge OF
the Commissioner of Education.
lie recommends the erection of fire.
proof buildings for the Federal Courts.
statement of the condition of the
Pacific Railroad is given, the facts of
which are already known.
The affairs of the District of Columbia
are alluded to, and some recommends
tions made.
The Secretary concludes with an argu-
ment IN favor of civil service reform.

More Ku. .KIux,

The bloody Brigadier who runs mill
tary matters in Georgia reports heavy
prevalence of Ku.Klux and the like in
his dominious. He has been induced to
get up report in the scalawag and
carpet. bag interest, in order to get
Congress to interfere and reconstruct
the State over again. He tells doleful
tale of anarchy aud misrule down there
and proposes as q remedy that Congress
establish Provisional Legislature of
carpet baggers IN the place Of the pres
ent one which the people elected, and
then turn the soldiers loose throughout
the State. This would certainly be o
splendid way in which to educate the
people of Georgia into permanent dis
content and thus give General TERRY a
permanent job by making the presence
there OF himself and his muskets per-
mInent necessity. The people OF Geor-
gia can compromise on better terms.
II they will ratify the Fifteenth
Amendment, get their Senators to re-
sign and elect TERRY and some other
adyenturer in their stead, they will get
certificate of good character at once,
no matter how many negroes they
wallOp.

CoIrax IA. Free Love Advocate

Mrs MCFARLAND numbered GREELEY
and COLFAX among her admirers. 1t is
claimed that the latter aided her in
procuring the Indiana divorce. We
suppose this is all right from "Ioyap
stand point. at the same time, it is
not usual for public officials TO mix up
SO conspicuously III scahdalous cases, as
CoLFAX has done in this. Discussing
the Vice Presidents course in this mat
ter. the Day says:
This exalted parsonage was intimate.
ly acquainted with Mr.. Richardson,
who, doubtless, possessed many com
mendable qualities, for respecting
which we do not censurc the Vice Presi-
dent. But knowing Richardson as he
did, long and intimately, Mr.. Colfax
knew all about his illicit intercourse
with Mrs. Mcfarland; knew that she
was another mans lawful wife, and,
being citizen Of Indiaua, knew per
fectly vel that her divorce" from
her husband was invalid before
Heaven, or any proper earthly tribunal.
Yet, knowing all this, this man whom
his Sountrymen, contiding in his merals
as well as his ability, have placed be-
fore the world as their chosen represen-
tatiye aud exemplar, has put himself
upon the record as virtual endorser
of Richardson's whole course in this
abominable affair. Hearing that the
latter had been shot by the man whose
wife he had seduced, the Vice President
FASTENED to telegraph: "Our ichols hOxse
hold send their sincerest sympathies
aud warmest Wishes" etc. For the sake
of Mr.. COltax'S "hOusehOld'-his wife
wife and aged mother-we trust he did
not consult them before sending this
dispatch, although we are informed by
the Cincinnati Commercial, that while
Mrs. Mcfarland was in Indiana, getting
her divorce, she was the associate
| of Mr.. Colfax's mother. For himself,
we would fain hope that he yielded
to a sympathetic impulse, without
consulting his Judgment and his sense
of private right and public duty. But
the world judges him according to his
act and his words, aud stands amazed
at both. lt asks: what would Mr..
COlfax have thought, if it had been his
wife whom Richardson alienated from
her husband; and though it is another
who was wronged, how could Mr.. Col
fax consent thus, virtually to approve
the act, and endorse the aGtor" These
are questions which, we fear, the Vice
President will end it difficult to answer
in a satisfactory manner.
But few weeks ago Mr.. Colfax spoke
in Salt Lake City, in bitter coudemna-
tion of Mormonism; yet, on his return
to the realm of Christianity and Civil
ization, he sanctions doctrine which,
if generally adopted, would turn the
whole country into worse than Nor,
mon scraplio. or Turkish haren.

The "grave wrongs" to which the
message refers in its discussion of the
Alabama question resulted almost en-
tirely from the extension of belligerent
rights to the rebels. But according to
GRANTS position on the Cuba question,
they cease to be wrongs, and become
merely the lawful consequences of an
act of national judgment exercised un-
der the very conditions which the Pres
dent prescribes for his own Admins
tration. He cannot blow hot and cold
with the same breath. He cannot ad-
vocate principle in the Cuba case and
deny to England the right tearply it
in the Alabama case. If thefe is any
meaning in language he has conceded
away the speech of SUMNER and the
Alabama claims.
