Indian TrOubIes-More War.

The New York Herald sreaks of the Indian troubles in the west, ofthe present Indian pof icy and of that ikly to be adopted, in this wise:
 "The western frontiers of Kansas and the Indian Territory and the whole northwest of Texas appear to be again threatened by the Bavages. They received short time ago their payment for keeping the peace for time, and are now again lacking in arms, ammunition and blankets In consequence they are dis posed to go into the wholesale murder business once more and show olr authorities the neces- sity of buying them off through unPrincipled Indian agencies. Itis proposed to try the Penn Quaker dodge on them :he next time. It will be found that the Indian of to-day and the one of the tine of Penn is quite different IL an. The latter could sell tract of land the size of Pennsylvania and not miss it. Game was plenty everywhere, fire water scarce, and nobody felt disposed to philanthropically scrape the dirt and vermin of'the savage to study his color or his capacity for civilization.
 Now, however, the former lands of the In dans are cut by railroads the game is scarse, the hunting of grounds barren, fire water abundant and plenty of frufians to sell it. and everybody disposed to scrape the Indians down to the bone to see what kind of material he is made of and how he shall be classified in the scale of humanity
 The Indian of to-day is lazy, brutal cut throat. To deal with him upon any other sup position is to make him worse The method of governmental management in our Indian affairs is an evil as bad as any that exists in the country There are some commissioners enjoying salaries for experimenting tribes of Indians that long ago ceased to exist There is but ore method of managing this question successfully, and that is to make each Territorial government responsible for the good behavior of the tribes within it's border. The frontier men will keep the savages quiet only give them an opportunity

Let ft be Repealed.

The law fixing the legal rate Of in
terest for money loaned is openly
and daily violated, by banks and by
individuals, and the disregard in
which it is held must make it plain
to every practical mind that its prin-
cipal effect is to weaken respect for
all laws. When men can violate one
law with impunity the effect is to
render them more liable To violate
others, and when law comes to be
so entirely disregarded, as the one In
our State fixing the rate of interest
for money loaned, it should he re-
pealed at once or so radically chang
ed rs to meet the demands of the
| times.
We have yet to hear practical
business man argue other, than that
the price of money should he controll-
ed hy the supply and demand, the
same rs other property, and if this
cannot be it will seek other channels
for investment. And thus it is that
the few, who may be too conscien
tious to knowingly violate any posi-
tive law, haveno money to aid in
the promotion of our industrial in
terests. We assert that il Is a direct
element of injury, and is keeping
money from coming among US, as
well as heterring few from loaning
to men who are tied hand and foot
for want of it. We know men who
are paying 25 per cent. for money
when they could have the same from
abroad at a much less rate, were il
not that capitalists are intinidated by
our interest laws, although they are
in reality dead letter.
The law il doing no good, but
is working a positive injury to our
State, and to every man who IL labor.
ing for the productive and industrial
interests around him. When every
man, wishing to borrow, stands
ready to offer more than the Legal
rate Of interest, as is universally the
ease during the present stringency
the law stands ready to sanction the
violation of that offer or promise, in
consideration of which the contrac,
was made; here is additional injury il
is working. We are emphatically fol
it's repeal, and we believe that the
legislature will be doing great injus
tice to the people of the State by oil
lowing it to remain as it now stands
longer than this coming winter ses

II. II. BALLS EMPIRE SASH Lock.
First Premium Aaodrded atthc Ohio
State Fair, Sept, 1868. This lock
does away with all objections hereto
fore raised against Window Locks,
and its superiority over all others
consists in the following reasons:
1t holds the sash up square at the
meeting rail, so that the opposite
corner will not sag, thereby prevent
ing an opening at the top of the
window or at the meeting rail.
1t supports the window at any de-
sired height, and locks the sash at
the same time so that it cannot be
forced open from the outside, and
proves to be an effective security
against the burglar and night prowler.
There is no cutting so as to disfig-
ure the sash frame or castings, nor
friction that will cause it to get out of
order, and nothing to prevent its
lasting as your dwelling.
IL is simple as the old fashioned
door button, and is used with as much
ease; you have the use of both hands
in raising your sash, which is orer-
ated with the same freedom as those
hurg with cords and weights, the
ssshes working entirely independent
of each other.
1t is endorsed by architects, car
penters and builders, as being the
best Sash Lock ever brought to their
notice.

Letter from @ ov. Merrill
The Senatorial Question.

The following letter published in
the State Reegister from Governor
Merrill settles the question of his
non-intention to make all appoint.
ment for the Senatorial short term -
1t was written to prominent citizen
of this State:
MY DEAR SIR:-Your letter Of the
18th inst, inquiring whether it was
my intention to appoint a United
States Senator to fill the vacancy oc-
casioned by the resignation of the
Hon. J. w Grimes, has been rcceiv-
ed. Having received letters from
gentlen Ell i'm various portions OF
the State making substantially
the same inquiry, / have deemed
it due, under the circumstances to
promptly relieve any anxiety on
this question, as to the cuuIes l
shall pursue. The duty of electing a
United States Senator belongs to the
TO the Legislature of the state. The
power of appointment is conferred
on the governor only to meet cases of
emergency. In my Judgment, al
though there exists vacancy, there
is 10 public necessity requiring an
appointment. Iowa is well and ably
represented in both branches of con-
gress, and there is no question of any
vital Importance imperilled Ly the
few days OF delay between the time
OF the assembling of congress, aud
the meeting of the Legislature. The
selection of senator, not only being
the duty, but the constitutional right
Of the legislature, shall yield to
them that right unembarrassed by
| any selection of mine, and while the
distinguished gentleman whose
name you suggest, as well as numer-
Gus others whose claims have been
urged, would fill the position with
credit to the state and the nation, ]
feel it privilege to refer their claims
to the immediate representatives
of the people, who will undoubtedly
make such an election as will meet
your approval and that of the people
of the state.
Very respectfully yours,
| SAMUEL MERRILL

j. NJ. Dixon in his own
Behalf.

at has been publicly stated that
the editor of this paper will proba-
bly, be candidate for State Printer
It may not be amiss, therefore, for
us TO present an explanatory para
graph on this subject. Within the
| last few months we have been solic.
lied by many friends, some of whom
are prominent citizens of the State,
! TO submit ourself as candidate for
| this position. II Is well known that
we labored on the editorial depart
ment of Republican paper from the
period at which the party was organ
ICED until blindness compelled us to
retire from daily journalism. We
became intimately acquainted with
The process Of State printing during
| our ten years connection with the
Iowa State Register. In truth, con,
| tinuous proof-reading on State work
much of which was done by lamp
light and gaslight, had much to do
in accomplishing the ruin of our
sight. We remember that when
printing the Adjutant Generals re-
port i'm the winter Of 1864. the second
form for each day was sent into the
editorial room for proof reading at
eleven o'clock in the night, and con
sequent'y it was after midnight he.
,Ore we were dismissed from our
wearying labors.
1--WE can, without egotism, say
that from first TO last we have been u
faithful and self sacrificing lahorer
in the interest of the Republican
party. All through the war we toiled
with sleepless energy to assist in
preserving the unity and effective
ness Of our chosen political organiza.
ton. Our eyes finally went ont in
writing up daily vindications Of our
candidates aud our party, and read
ing proofs of the work which was
required of the public printer by the
State.
yet, whatever may have been the
claims which our labors have estab
iished on the party, we have never
been an Office seeker, and have never
received dollar of political patron,
age rs an office. holder, or as an agent
or employe of office holders, since
the foundation of the world And |
the statement is truthful also, that.
while we have consulted economy in |
personal expenditures, we have new
er Seen a day in our career as a |
journalist in which we were not EN- |
harrassed more Or less in pecuniary
sense.
t'If elected to the office OF State
Printer, we shall command facilities
to execute the work promptly and
we'll. AS q matter of personal just
ce. we believe we have earned a
light TO this position. Very many
friends will labor zealously for our
election. yet that dependency which
) born of misfortune, and that IA
ality which has accompanied MS like
! dark shadow for years, restrain lis
rom the indulgence OF any strong or
brilliant hope. Still we shall do
" bat we can to reach result which.
f attained, will place us under many
to our friends, and which
will help TO lift the cloud of adversi,
y which has darkened our life, and
lmost crushed out every hope. Aft.
r all, we have prospect to success
which any other man would regard
IS inspiring, and we feel sufficient
in It ourself tn stimulate
mr. best efforts for an election. II I
