Lol The Poor Indian!

LOUISVILLE, April 20 The Four tsenth
Infantry will leave here at II a u. to morS
row for Chicago, taking only field baggage.
Transportation through by rail to Sioux
City without stoppage has been furnished.
Colonel Blunt was to-day relieved from duty
as Inspector General on the staff of General
Cooke, and ordered to take command Of the
regiment and on its arrival at SIOUX City re-
port to the General commanding the depart
ment of Dakota for active field service. 1t
is rumored in military circles that the cam,
paign against the Indians will be vigorous,
and will probably be carried to the extent
of determination.
From Information obtained at General
Sheridan's headquarters, it appears that the
warlike Sioux, on the Grand river, Whet-
stone and the Big Cheyenne reservation in
Dakota, are the only Indians causing trouble,
and the only ones who can wage war of any
duration. When they are subdued it will
bring an end to all future trouble with the
indians They number about II 900, and
are divided into a half q dozen different
bands. They are threatening to kill Gov
eFnment employees, and are shooting down
cattle for mischief General Sheridan states
that he will make these savages behave
themselves, and, if necessary, will use Wig
orOus measures to put them down. The
troops will not commence hostile demonstra-
tiOns until necessity demands it.

NO RESURRECTION.
Death Of Free GOVernment-An
Eloquent Extract.

The following beautiful extract is from
speech delivered by Hon. D. w. Voorhees,.
of Indiana:
1t is a melancholy spectacle to behold a
tree government die. The world it is true,
is filed with evidences of decay All ma
ture speaks the voice of dissolution, and the
highways of history and of life is strewn
with the wrecks which Time, the great de
spoier has made. But the hopes of the
future, bright visions of revivng glory, are
nowhere denied to the heart of man, save
as he gazes on the downfall of legal liberty.
he Listens mOurnfully to the autumn winds
as they sigh through disnanrled forests
but he knows that their breath will be soft
and vernal in the spring, and shat the dead
flowers and withered foliage will blossom
and bloom again. He sees the sky overcast
with the angry frown of the tempest but he
knows that the sun will re-appear and the
emblazOnry of God cannot perish. Man,
himself, this strange connecting link be
tween dust and Deity, tott ers wearily,
wearily onward under the weight of years
and pain towards the tomb, but how briefly
his life fingers around the dismal spot 1t
Is filled with tears and grief, and the willow
and the cypress gather around it with their
loving but mournful embrace. And is this
all2 Not So! If man die, shall he not live
again beyond the grave In the distant
Alden? Hope provides an elysium of the
soul, where the mortal assumes Immortality
and life becomes an endless splendor. But
where, sir, in the dreary regions of the past,
! flleu with commissions, wars and crimes,
can you point your finger to the tomb of a
| free commonwealth on which the angels of
resurrection have ever descended, or from
whose sepulchre the stone of despotism has
been rolled away2 Where, in what age, and
in what cline have the veins of constitution
al freedom renewed their youth and regain
ed their lost estate2 By whose strong grip
has the dead corpse of the Republic, once
fallen, ever been raised7 The merciful
Maker, who walked upon the waters and
bade the winds be still, left no ordained
apostle with power to wrench apart the
jaws of national death, and release the vic
tim of despotism. The wall of the heart
broken over the dead is not so sad to me as
! the realization of this fact. But all history,
with loud, unbroken voice, proclaiAs it;
and the evidence of what the past has been
is conclusive to my mind of what the future
will be. Wherever in the domain Of human
conduct, a people, once possessed of liberty,
have surrendered these great gifts of God at
the command of the usurper, they have
never sfterward proven themselves worthy
| to regain their forfeited treasure.

Such policy and arbitrary exercise of SUP

bankrupt the finest tax paying province that
history gives any account of, and reduce
its Inhabitants to misery and want The
property Of the citizens would soon be con-
sumed by the tax gatherer, and placed in

The cry of rerud alton can never justly
and legally be made effective in resisting
the efforts of the oveS burdened taxpayer
to rid himself from the payment of debts
based upon such considerations
In relation to the paving bonds your com
mittee find and report that on the 18th day
of June, 1867, an ordinance providing for
the issuance Of these bonds wGs submitted
to vote elect under the franchise law; that
four hundred and forty six votes were cast
for and ffty-four against issuing these
bonds that under the assumed authority
conferred by this election bonds amounting
SS000l2 were issued, and are now held as
evidences of debt against the city. Your
com iBlttee are informed ana report that a
large proportion Of the votes cast at both of
these elections were cast by the colored pop
ulation of your city. Your committee, in
making the investigation required, have
been aided by eminent legal gentlemen,
some of whom reside in this city, others
reside at your National Capitol; ali of whom
have spent much time in examining the
questions arising in this report, and in in
vestigating the constitutional questions
arising under the franchise law of the State.
These gentlemen concur in the legal opin
ions expressed in this report. The ques-
tions presented require grave and profound
consideration.
Your committee, therefore, recommend
that steps be taken to test the legality of
the bonds referred to in this report
In conclusion, your committee deem it
proper that they disavow any personal re-

The St Louis Democrat, one of the abIest
Republican papers in the country, contains
the following truthful extract:
"The time has come when people demand
in their leaders calm. dignfed and intelli-
gent craftsmanship. careful study, thorough
understanding of financial and industrial
questions, and the patience, candor and
clearness of thought needed to devise wise
measures and convince others of their
wisdom. Men ike Butler are becoming Of
little value; men like Wells and Dawes
grasp the confidence of the people The
next election of Congress men will show a
great difference In the character of men
selected. Worn party hacks will disappear,
ranting stump orators will be in less de-
maDd; more rebel haters or negro haters.
wi be dropped into the pool of oblivion;
and the country will secure the services OF
men who can comprehend and deal wisely
with the new question on which its future
prosperity depends. After the election,
nobody will think of proposing for the
Presidency any man who represents only
the terrible past instead of the hopeful
future"

Oue "hO huO"7, III Teply 10 question
concerning small fish for bait, says:
All that is required for catching small
fish IS a small scap-net, that can be purchas-
ed at any store where fishing tackle is kept
for sale. In going after fish, it is we'll to
take pail and email dipper along, and when
the fish are caught put them Immediately
into the pail with clear, fresh water. When
1t is necessary to carry the fish to any con-
siderable distance, the water should be
changed as often as convenient, but it is not
always practicable to do this, and in such
cases, dip up a portion of the water and
pour it back into the pail, and repeat the
operation dozen or more times. as this will
force air into the water, and supply the fish
with oxygen. A few sprigs of some succu-
lent plant set into the pail will also furnish
a supcly of the same element

CAULIFLowERs ON LIGHT TSoLs.-Caulifow-
ers succeed best in deep, rich, and cool
soil IF one does not possess such a soil, it
is not necessary to fOrego the luxury of
having an abundance of this fine vegetable,
as we have fully proved by experiences On
light, sandy soil even if made very rich,
large heads, probably can't be raised, ow-
ing to the want of sufficient moisture, or
the excessive high temperature of the soil.
We Lave succeeded admirably in growing
cauIihOwers on light sand by using plenty
of manure and mulching. If the mulch
is composed chiefly of coarse manure from
the barn yard, so much the better; weeds,
straw, or hay will answer, but they should
be applied early and literally. If any of
our readers have heretofore failed in pro-
ducing this vegetable on account of dry
soils, we advise them to try once more, and
not omit the mulching.
The above is taken from the editorial coli
umns of the Hearth and Home, and can be
relied on as an invaluable receipt
