Just in the outskirts of Poughkeepsie
lives man by the name of Warren,
who for years has enjoyed a plurality of
wives. much to tho disgust of the entire
neighborhood. Warren many years ago
married young lady, and for years
they lived on in perfect harmony, but
one day she sickened, and she and her
friends supposed she would die: at this
crisis she became anxious about the wei
fare of her husband. and busted herself
10 selecting her successor, who was to
share with Warren the joys of matrimo
nal bliss. This difficulty she at last
oveecame by selecting woman she
thought worthy to follow in her foot
steps.
Once settled in her mind, she desired
the twain to be made one flesh, even be-
fore her death, that she Nigh: be made
happy in her last moments. They were
accordingly married by her bedside, and
the sick woman having her hearts wish
gratifed turned over to die, but il was
not to be, for she much to the astoni.h-
ment Of all parties rapidly grew better,
and soon recovered her health, only to
find her husband given to another.
This was more: than the woman bar
gained for, but the two females fixed the
matter and it was agreed that they would
live in harmony ia the same house. and
thus they lived for years. Both women
raised family of children; one had six
aud the other five. Some of these chill
dren are grown up men and women at
the present time.
About six months AGO the women
quarreled and the husband was called
on to settle the difficulty, and be espoused
the cause of the youngest wife, and it
was determined on by the two to get the
old wife out of the house, which was
speedily accomplished, and she is now
doing Homework in the neighborhood,
while the second wife enjoys the bed and
board that were once hers.

The Prneuc.d INDIAN yynr.

An announcement of q general Indian
war comes opp0rtunely TO prevent the
passage OF any bill for the reduction of
the army. 1T might be expected after
General Shermans : arr OcaHt manifesto
against the House bill, in which, after
denouhcing the bill, he set up the re-
maFkabie but characteristic doctrine that
the victories of the war were 10 be valued
and accounted for to the Generals in
command, and that any amount OF
money that could be bestowed on them
would be inadequate compensation. OF
course, we have threatened Indian
war, and we know ny the official state
ments of the administration that the
indians have cause for ii in the neglect
of Congress to provide for carrying 0ut
the stipulatioAs of the treaties negotiat-
ed by the Peace Commission. From
S, S,0GU TO l., 600 indians in the saddle (the
mum Der now reported as preparing for
wary, in the grass season, can keep
occupied four times tleir number of
soldiers, without risking much hurt
And so for our bad faith in refusing to
appropriate three or four millions to
quiet land titles and settle the Indians
on reserves, we may spend ten times
that amount in a single year in making
war on them, and still have to begin
anew the honest course.
A Quaker Indian policy, without the
fulfillment OF treaties, is nothing but
treachery. There does not seem to be
integrity enough in Congress to deal
honestly with The Indians. OF to support
the administration in any honest policy.
There is ring that pursues with avid
ity every means by which the Indian
lands can be transferred TO private
spectators through the medium of the
United States. This is particularly
strong in The Senate. where there are
Senators who, lacking any adequate
constituencies, seem to turn their minds
wholly to representing these piundering
combinations. But there are 10 signs
of any strong element in favor of dealing
justly by the Indians. And when it
comes to appropriatiug money to fulfill
our Obligations. they make feat Of
economy 0frefusing, and then welcome
an IHdian war ut ten times the cost 10
square the accouht.-[Cin Gazette.

The Red river difficulty being now in
a fair way of peaceful settlement it is
not likely to oe u valuable adjunct to
Fenian SUCCESS. This difficulty arose
from the consolidation by act OF Parlia-
ment in 1867, of the various British
North AiGerican possessions into one
State to be known as the Dominion, the
Hudson's Bay Company giving up its
possessory right acquired from Charles
II. Gu the passage of this act, the Do
minion proceeded to extend its jurisdic-
ton over the Red River country by the
appointment of a Lieutenant General
The. .Winnipegecs, however, insisted on
its own provincial government like New
Brunswick and other Canadian prov
inces and refused to be governed as a
mere territory. Riel and others subse-
quently went so far as to claim absolute
Independence, but the general senti-
ment never advanced beyond the first de-
mand, and OIL this basis, The quarrel has
been satisfactorily adjusted. Manitoba,
is the name of the new province, and the
old names of Winnepeg, Rcd river,
Rupert's Land, Assiniboin, North West
Territories, Selkirk's Settlement will
be superseded. The new province will
have government analogous to those
in the other States of the Dominion and
will be represented in the Canadian
Parliament.-[Pi Pittsburgh Commercial.

The Georgia BiGi.

The New York Herald, OF the 25th
ult., speaking of ihe Georgia Bill as it
recently passed the Senate, SAYS:
The impression has gone abroad partly
through wilful Misrepresentation anG
partly through mistake, that what Is
generally known as the Bingham
amendment to the Georgia ILL was de-
feated in the Senate, aud by q coalition
between aminorIty of Republican SeRa-
tors with the Democrats. This is incor-
rect. The amendment which passed
the Senate was offered by Pomerov as q
substitute for one by Wilson, who
wanted the term of service of the Gener-
al Assembly of Georgia to date from the
25th of January, 1871, and continue
until those chosen on the Tuesday after
the first Monday of November, 1872, as
members of the General Assembly OF
said State are qualified. Pomer0y's
amendment, which was adopted By "a
vote of thirty-six to twenty-three, while
lC turned back the State to military rule,
still provided for an election on Tuesday,
the 18th of Novemb Der, 1870, for all mem
bers of .he General Assembly. This
Pomeroy amendment is in point of fact
the same as the Bingham amendment,
clothed in different verbiare. Bing-
hams amendment provided for an elec
tion next fall, so as to avoid iegisiating
Bullock and company into Office for two
years longer. Under the Pomeroy
amendment precisely the same thing Is
accomplished. The truth is also thar OF
the thirty-six who voted in favor OF the
Pomeroy amendment twenty-nine were
republicans aud seven Democrats :,
while only twenty-three Republicans
voted against IL, so that in reality, the
thing was not passed by minority. OF
Republicans uniting with the Demo
crats. This statement is due to histor-
lcai accuracy, as so erroneous announce
ments have been put on record.
AS We understand the difference
between the Pomeroy and Bingham
Amendments, the former throws the
state back under the reconstruction
laws and authorizes the election of this
year to be held under those laws, which
would secure Republican state govern
ment, while the latter authorizes the
election to be held under the State con
stitution and the laws of the State Leg
islature, which would certainly result
in the triumph Of the Democracy.

Fast HuilroldinZ.

The summer time tables Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad make some important
changes III the running time. The
most important is that of the fast mail
train. This train Stops nowhere be-
tween the two cities except at Harris
burg. Altoona and Gallitzen. The
stOppage al the latter place Is in COM
p!iauce with the rule of the road, which
requires every train to stop there, on
account of the heavy mountain grade
each side. The run from Philadelphia
to Harrisburg, los miles, is made in
three hours and twenty minutes. From
Harrisburg to Altoona, 1872 miles, and
from GalitZin to Pittsburgh, 105 miles,
are the other long stretches, and the
time on them is pondiHgly short
On no other railroad iii America are
lsuch long distances made without stop
ping for wood and water. But they are
made on the Pennsylvania Railroad
without Inconvenience. y day or two
ago, when the train from Altoona ar
rived at Harrisburg, there was still Il
good supply of water in the tank, aud
this after q continuous run of 132 miles.
The New York companies tried this
year, as usual, to make shorter time
over their roads to the West than the
Pennsylvania. But the latter, having
the shortest road, the best and the safest,
started this train, which is one with
which the New York lines cannot
pretend to competed Pittsburg Gazette.
