ing the primary cause of all our In

We are not sufficiently advised 70
wholly endorse or reject this speech
but it is mastery effort in behalf
of the Indian After speaking against
giving their affairs i; to the hands of
the military, he says:
but gentlemen ask what line OF
policy do you propose? How are
we to unite the broken cords Of
friendship and maintain friendly re-
latiors with our Intian tribes? There
is nothing easier than This. We've
but to reverse our past method of
dealing with them, treat them kind
", deal justly. and convince them by
our acts Of humanity and justice that
We sincerely desire TO hefriend and
save them Extend the warm hand
Of brother, and raise them from
their low estate to position where
life will be blessing and not q curse.
Then will the Indian, whom we have
alienated and driven away, lit
up his dropping head; the long lost
smile will again Tighten ZIP his com
tenance, and he will eet Us more
than half way in our work Of paciii-
cation, justice anl humanity.
Instead of sending soldiers armed
with instruments of death and NUM-

there being no other candidate, it is
believed that he will be nominated

The government debt on the lst

five hundred and fity.six millions,
two hundred and five thousand, six
hundred and fifty CHIT dollars.
1t seems 20 be the opinion Of our
best Gnancicrs that any legislation
on the financial question, further
than to legalizc gold contracts, until
the nature Of our embarrassment is
better understood, will only invite
fsilnre.

impartial Suffrage

On last Thursday, the House, by
yeas 143, nays 43, and on Friday the
Senate, by yeas 80, nays IS, passed
the Constitutional Amendment guar
anteeing impartial suffrage to all cit
liens, and is now to be submitted to
the several State Legislatures for
ratification. The kill reads as fol
lows:
BE It reSoIeed, That the following
amendment to the constitution of the
United States be submitted to the
Legislatures Of the several States,
and, when ratified by three fourths
thereof. it shall become a part Of the
constitution.
ART. 10. The Tight Of the citizens
of the United States to vote shnll not
be denied or abridged by the United
States, or by any State, on account
of race, color, or previous condition
of servitude.
SEC. 2. The Congress shall have
power to enforce this article by ap-
rropriate legislation
This is the ] 9Th amendment TO the
constitution of the United States,
ard is one OF tie most important ev
CT passed by Congress.

Of the people until we were hurled

This government which offers q
home and bids a welcome TO the OPP
pressed and distressed of every land
now practically gives that which was
only heretofore its proud boast.
The consent of twenty six States
is necessary to make this part OF
the Supreme Law Of the land. Ne
vada and Missouri have already rat
flied It, and we hope before our Cwn
Legislature adjourns, it will set its
seal to this action of Congress, and
that the States may simultaneously
signify their acquicscence in this act
until it becomes part Of our funda-
mental law. When this shall have
been done we shall have reached the
highestpo in civilization; then we
con with propriety say the, Govern

scna tor Hughes.

The conduct Of Judge Hughes in
the Indiana Senate during its pres
ent session meets with q just rebuke
from large proportion of the Indi
ana Press. The JTideste has the fol-
lowing structure on this gentleman $
acts:
The Republican party Of the State
which triumphcd so gloriously last
fall has been Inundated during the
entire session of the Legislature, by
the too evident fact that the Senate
while uominaiiy Republican. was re-
ally controlled ty the Democratic
party. One Hughes. a demaGogue
politician from MunIoe county, q
wolf in Sleeps clothing, having sold
himself to the Democratic party, has
led li.tle faction of boltlng Repnb-
licans in q personal warfare against
promi lent Republicans andhas been

been confined to Furnishing Hughes
enemies. and clarifying his friends.
We are sorry to record that among

The Indians of the west, who, for q few
years had been comparatively friendly.
