"MY EYE, BETTY MARTIN Under this head the
St. Louis Republican of the goth ult publishes dis
patch from New York. stating that private adyices had
been received in that city, from Washington, which
leads to the belief that the Red river troubles or Win
nepeg war, is secretly encouraged by the admnisra
ton and that the secret service fund has for some
time been used in all the British possessions in North
America with the view of bringing about troubles
such raging northwest of Lake Superior In
this the administration is only following out the idea of
Seward who aimed at occupying all the territory now
held by Great Britain this continent and which may
be ultimately brought about whenever the Alabama
claims come up for final settlement. By encouraging
continuance of the troubles in British Columbia as
well as in other North American possessions it is
hoped that Great Britain will ultimately consent to
cede all of that territory offset to the American
claims, which must in the course of time become an
exceedingly troublesome question for the mother eoun
try. 1t is limited that Mr.. Stewards trip along
the Pacific coast has had something to do with this
programme, which will in due time develop itself.

The AUDITORS oFFrcE.-The Legislature has taken
this matter in hand, and what is more leans towards
the Auditor On the 4th a resolution was offered in

ehanics Institute for his Office The Bulletin saws
test vote indicated that the resolution would pass by
large majority. Our contemporary says this action of
the House will be another set back to the arrogant
claims of Fl. G. Warnoth, and will convince him that
he has but few sympathsers in his efforts to OBJ
tain control of the Auditors Office and to direct the
financial affairs of the State The people of the State
have reason to congratulate themselves this result
for had the Governor and bis party of carpetbaggers
succeeded in their designs, our State and city would
have been placed in condition of abject serytude to
