INDIAN TROUBLES.

Troops from Virginia passed through
here to-day on the way TO the frontier,
where serious troubles are threatened
with the Sioux Indians. The cause OF
this apprehended difficulty can be stated
in a few words. 1t lies i'll the fact that
the House last session refused to appro-
priate money to carry out our treaties
with the Indians. The Secretary of
War was at the capitol to-day, urging
early acton on the pending Indian bill;
He said he was greatly embarrassed
about troops; has not got what he alb
solutely needs, and does not see how he
can possibly get along if the army Is re-
duced next fall, and as a consequence OF
his talk it is probable that the proposed
reduction will not be made TIL next
summer.

FINANCIAL MEASURES.

The Banking committee at It's session
today so far developed its views that some
idea can now be given of what 1t will do
when called upon for business 1t has
under consideration Loughridges order
to report for fifty millions increase of
currency, and the Senate bill retiring
the three percents, and issuing iorty-tive
millions additional national bank notes
The committee probably agree upon
the bill retaining the three per cents
now amounting to about forty-five and a
half millions, withdrawing about fifty
millions of legal tender, and authorizing
the issue ofninetv-five millions national
bank circulation based on the same
form of the new bond Whether they
will 90 further and provide for this new
bond is not known. Some of the mem
bcrs are strong for free banking, but 1t
cannot vet be said how the majority
will stand on this point The indlsposl-
ton to see redistribution attempted Is,
however strengthening the convection
in favor of free banking, and the system
will get numerous support, II the ways
and Means committee in reporting the
funding bill provide 1 or 4! per cent.
bond for banking purposes.

GENERAL LOGAN on THE REMOVAL OF THE
CAPITAL--General Logan made an elaborate
speech on the occasion Of his denomination for
Congressman at large in Illinois, stating that in
accepting the nomination he wished it expressly
understood that il should not interfere with his
beng q candidate for the United States Senate
next winter. He announced himself opposed to
an irredeemable currency or the issue OF more
greenbscks, and In favor OF the removal of the
capital. In this connection he said:
81 know a great many people laugh at that,
the capital of the United States Is just as GER
tain TO be moved West as you and live. Ap-
Plause-l There is no question about that, and
am glad 70 have IL put into the platform. advo-
Gated it in Congress. introduced a resolution
there for that purpose, and came within thirty
votes Of carrying it through the House, and
have kept up the IRE from that day to this, and
no matter what House lam in, as long as you
send ne there / will continue to keep it up ZAP
plause We should all unite in the effort for
this great purpose,-all parties should unite for
It. for the reason that, until the people of the
West look TO their own interests, well As to the
interests CT Other people, you cannot get your
rights. You will ind a class OF men in Congress
always, who legislate for their own constituents
II. esprCtiye IT an body els.'s constituents.
Hence. Il e people OF this country should unite
on this proposition, and should require their
Sci ators and Representatives, from every State
10 the Northwest. to vote every time they have
a Chance for this proposition. Your Ministers
that are sent abroad are genera ally sent from
New York and Massachusetts, and your Cabi-
nets are generally made up from that part of
the country The influences about Washington
come from that part OF the country, and the
legislation of the country, In q great measure
has been for that part OF il, and Why? II i, be-
cause the Capital Of the United States Is on that
border, where IL Is surrounded by those infiu-
ences; aye, and by those people. You Western
people are far away; your influence is not felt q
thousand miles on IL IL were set down here in
your midst, you would surroundit by the whole
some influence that would surround your in
spiration and your efforts. For that reason il Is
an important measure, and one that we should
all favor, in my Judgment, and especially the
people Of Illinois should favor IL, and the people
OF Illinois should especially be in favor OF that
which would be q benefit to the West"

There are, We regret to observe, indications OF
an intention on the part of certain members of
the city councils to defeat the projected tax
levy to meet the city's proportion OF the cost OF
paving Pennsylvania avenue and VI street. The
gentlemen who propose to thus set themselves
against the wheels of progress are in danger
OF committing terrible mistake. The improve
ments in question are required by congressional
enactment. which was clearly in conformity
with both the public wish and the expressed
desire of majority of those directly affected by
the measures; and if the gentlemen opposing
them sscceed in their Vaccinations one of two
things is pretty certain TO happen: Either the
capitol moving project will receive encourage
nent in Congress next winter, or the bill ID
change the forms OF government in the District
of Columbia viii become law. Afew malcon-
tents can not be allowed to keep the national
capital a half century behind the age; and If
their efforts TO do so cannot be defeated In one
way they will in another. Ii will be well for
item TO count the price Of standing still as well
the cost Of going forward.

The PopuIatIon OF wa.hiu<tou

These figures are Official, except for the first
ward, in which the final additions may show
slight variation, but not enough ID materially
AFFECT the general result
In considering this showing, ID is to be remem-
bered that the enumeration entirely omts the
very large floating or nonresident population
always present in the city. 1t should be borne
IN mind, furthermore, that TIE count was taken
at that time in midsummer when the larges,
per centage Of our actual population - out Of
TOWN Tor the heated term, and the Target num-
Der or residences closed for the season, so that
the enumerators could obtain no information
whatever as to the inmates and other absentees
we have also reason to believe, notwithstapd-
ing one or two paragraphs have appeared In
THIS paper complaining of the manner in which
the work was done in 1t, that the second ward
has been enumerated quite carefully as any,
and that thorough canvass would show a much
larger number o. omissions in some other quar-
tiers of the city than there.
In view Of these facts, il Is perfectly safe
TO assume that if the canvass had been made
two or three months later in the season, and the
work then thoroughly and conscientiously dsne
the city would show an actual, bona fde popula-
ton Of over 1l5,0cO, and we should not be sur
pIiSed il it reached 10000.
But the figures as they really stand-11I 1876
make a very good showing against 81, 122. which
was the population in 1860. An increase of
5O,GI3, or 50 per cent, in ten years indicates a
growth and prosperity much beyond the average
of cities in any part of TIE werld, and which will
be found to be equalled BY very few il any even
in the most rapidly growing parts of America.
And, what's quite as gratifying, this increase Of
numbers has been July matched if not sur
passed by the increase of .olid business, by the
general advance in the style and quality OF
buildings of every description. and by the en-
HANGED value and improvement of property Of
all kinds, 10th public and private.
What will the next ten years show? is a
question at present OF vastly more importance
than what the last ten have done. With the
impetus now gained, with proper adminstra-
ton OF the city government, and with a spirit
of hberaiity and enterprise on the part of our
citizens, the ratio OF increase in the next decade
ought TO be even greater than IN the last. With
the right action it 'cH be; without it, there will
be divided interests, stagnstion, decline. Peo-
PIE OF Washington! your destiny is in your own
hands.
