In 1853 the Kiowa Indians in
Texas attacked a settlement in
Denton county and murdered all
the people save two little girls,
children of parents bearing the
name of Fitzpatrick. They have
recently been recovered, and the
other day Congress passed a reso.
luton to set aside five thousand
dollars of the annuities paid to this
tribe of Indians, to be placed at
interest for the maintenance of
these little waits, who are now
known as Helen and Heloise
Lincoln. This act became a law
without the signature Of the Presi.
dent, who was SO busily engaged
in his San Domingo speculation
that he could not attend to his
legitimate duties.

THE MARCH OF TYRANNY
LEADS TO REVOLUTION.

The Radical party seems to be
impressed with the belief that the
exercise Of power by that party
has no limit. From the New
York World We extract the fol-
lowing: Step by step there has
grown up in the United States
House of Representatives a prac-
tice Of arresting citizens and
bringing them to the bar Of that
body. The latest case is that Of
one Dooley, arrested in Richmond.
Va, on the 10th instant by the
Sergeant at Arms under a warrant
issued by order OF the House, and
on the 18th put to the bar. In the
debate ensuing it appeared that
the Sergeant at. Arms had refused
to respect a writ Of habeas corpus
issued in behalf Of his prisoner,
and by implication the House in
dorsed that action of their officer
by remanding Dooley to the Gus.
tody Of the Judiciary Committee
till further orders. If all this be
lawful then at any time the House
may ~rightfully send into any part
of the United States, arrest any
citizen, deny the writ Of habeas
corpus in his behalf, and hold him
in such manner and to such time as
may consist with their good plea
sure. This is tyranny. The Consti.
tuition most expressly forbids any
such procedure, and that the
House should have dared to ven.
ture on so barefaced a piece o.
despoHsm is but another proc
THAT TIE people have but one
choice before them-either IA

re .vEaEsluno.
This question has at last
|. assumed anqlbnity. It Is an ap-
parent fact the Legislature strongly
lsvOu the removal Of the Capital
.lto thls city. The report rendered
Ia few days since, that the capitol
Ibu1diBgin Jackson can be repaired
or seventy thousand dollars, has
no weight whatever. 1t Is cOnsid
cred by every one that the old
building must be torn down and
built anew that the seventy thou
sand dollars proposed TO be used
in repairing the building will only
afford temporary relief. A new
building must be constructed,
and since Jackson is totally I'M
suited, the members Of the Legis.
ture are anxiously casting around
for a more suitable location, and
none is so attractive in every re-
spect as this city. The citizens
Of Vicksburg, full of that liberality
for which they arc so proverbial,
have, in mass meeting, instructed
the City Council to make such
propositions as the Legislature
shall deem necessary, and in
obedience to these instructions the
Council, Monday night, passed a
resolution appointing a Commit
tee clothed with plenary power, to
inform the Legislature that ample
accommodations will be prepared
for them, If they shall adjourn to
meet here upon re.assembling. 1t
is no longer a question Of dollars
and cents. 1t is a simple PROPOSE
ton TO the Legislature, that the
city is prepared to offer that body
full and ample accommodation,
should they adjourn to meet here.
There is now no doubt that such
q resolution will be passed, and
upon its r~e.assembling action will
be had which will make this thu

DoSE PIATT, the Washington

partnership heretofore existing"
be writes, between the honest
men and the rogues is hereby dis
solved, and every man is left to go
his own political way unquestioned.
