@ Referring to the visit OF Red
Cloud and his band of W warriors to WASH
ington. the Philadelphia Press-one of
the widest Of the Pieganthropists-thinks
that "perhaps the solution Of the whole
difficulty might be found ID the transport
tation to the East of the whole Indian
population. and dumping them down
somewhere along the Atlsntic. north of
Virginis." The suggestion is good one,
and il it shall be acted upon we hope the
"gent'e savages" will not forget their in-
nocent tom shswks and harmless scalping-
knives. They would be useful in lifting
the hair Of some of ths mild hammered
sons of Penn. and giving them correct
views of the Indian question. This
seems the most expeditions and the only
way Of getting an idea into their skulls.

ing deserved punishment to al infinitely
worse band of savages than the Piegsns
ever were? The cry that deIenceless and
sick Piegan women and children were
murdered, is but an echo Of the song which
the Champion helped to sing against
Chivington. We contend that it does
not sound well to talk about getting cor.
rect ideas into the skulls of Eastern peo.
pie. after taking such extraordinary pains
to get wrong ideas into them.

scHENoK AND MAYNARD.

NADiof the low tax papers in the North,
both Republican and Democratic, are re-
jOieiag over the defeat of ]. Schenck,
the Chairman of The Committee of Ways

has induced the high tax and tariff men to
turn their especial and particular attention

effect This will haye,Swe cannot say;
but this we know, y from an

States where only the manufacturing cap
ltalists thrive. In the States of New
England and Pennsylvania, every art and
every energy win be used to secure the
success of Mr.. Maynard. s-s1 stiq ,

Tue New York Sun (Radica) notices,
in its usual caustic manner, the fact that
"of all the Republican State Conventions
which have met and passed resolutions
this fall, not one has vcntured TO so much
as mention President Grants st. Domingo
Job, " and adds E'They have eulogized
the President in other respects, as much
as they dared to in the face of notorious
facts; but on this topic they have main
tanned discreet and expressive silence. ="
The Sun goes on to remind the country
of the Presidents superhuman efforts in
behalf of that scheme, and concludes by
saying that the mastery omission by the
Radical Conventions to allude to the one
measure that was peculiarly Grants own,
'fs significant of the fate in preparation
for Gen. Grant two years hence. " The
SIN asks: eff nothing can be said in
favor of his only pet project now, what
can be said in its defense thenl Upon
what grounds, in short, can his claim to
re election be placed2 He will have to
retire to obscurity, and live upon his fast
fading military reputation" % .

THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT
AND STATE OFFICES.

The first case decided under the four
teenth amendment to the Constitution OF
the United States, that we have noticed,
came I'D in the United States District
Court at Louisville on the 9th inst, Judge
Ballard presiding. Proceedings had been
instituted against George W. Tripletf,
John p. Thompson and John Cronch to
Gust them from office. 1t appears that
Triplett had taken an oath as a member
of the Kuntucky Legislature to support
the Constitution of the United States, be-
fore the war, and afterwsrd participated
in the war on the side of the South, and
after his return was elected Judge of Da-
Wis County Court. Thompson was clerk
of Davis Circuit Court before the war,
served in the Confederate army, returned
and was reelected. CrOnch was deputy
clerk of Hopkins County Court, served
in the Southern army, and was afterward
elected clerk. The information prsys
for the removal of these per-
SONS from Office on the ground
that they are holding Office contrary to
the provisions of section of the four
teenth amendment. They plead pardon
under the amnesty proclamation of the
President of the United States; also, that
the act referred to was prospective, and
did not refer TO the past that county and
State officers did not come under the
meaning of the constitutional amendment,
and that deputy was not an officer. The
District Attorney demuTed to these plead
ings, aud was sustained by Judge Ballard,
except as 20 the latter pleading, which the
court took time to consider. The opinion
of Judge Ballard shows a strong DISPOSE
ton to give legal effect to the Radical in
terpretation of the amendment. This is
especially noticeable in his arguing TO
show that the amendment is retrospective
as well as prospective in its operation. A
Judgment of custer was entered as to
Triplett and Thompson. 1t is understood
the case is to be tested in the Supre me
Court of the United States. d..

THE REsuLTIN INDIANA.

rtl NHtE E66SOAh EN- ANRAAA'A- IH
The Democrats have achieved bril-
liant victory in Indiana. The Indianapo-
lis Sentinel of the nth inst. says:
ssTbe official returns are being received,
but they do mot materially affect the
figures we have already given, as will be
seen from our revised table this morning.
The majority of Col. Eddy, for Secretary
of State, willbe between 2, 800 and+2, 500.
The returns for the other candidates upon
the State ticket will vary some from this,
but not enough, as some sanguine Repub-
lieans give out, to elect any of their can
didates The Radical candidate for Audi
tor of State, Major John d. Evans, had
his name printed on Democratic tickets
AID circulated in many localities by men
employed to peddle them, but we do not
believe this ruse, with all his efforts, Will
decrease the majority of MIR. Shoemaker,
his competition, over five hundred votes.
We will not now discuss the morality of the
scheme of Major Evans, 10 secure his re-
election, but we presume he has no higher
moral standard than call is fair in poll
tics" a.lI a ls
From present indications the Legis-
laF1re will be Democratic in both
branches. We figure working major
ity of two in the Senate, and in the
House a working majority of six. Ii
such should be the result it viii place
the responsibility of legislation upon the
Democratic members; and should this
be the case, there is no question but that
the pledges of reform and economy in
the administration of public affairs that
have been made by the Democracy, will
be honestly and faithfully redeemed. In
this connection we direct attention to the
speech of Mr.. Hendricks, at She jubilee
meeting held on Saturday evening, and
his remarks upon the responsibilities and
duties that the political victory will de-
volye upon the Democratic party, which
fairly reflects the sentiments entertained
and the policy that will be pursued In the
Legislature and in the administration of
the State government, if the responsibility
is placed upon them. &" gE .g -
The Radicals depended upon the negro
vote to defeat VOORHEES, in the sixth dis
trict, but his majority will reach about
l, 800. Two years ago Voorhees, major
ity was only 1913. Two years ago Nib
lack was elected in the first district by a
majority of 1,4S5; now his majority is
nearly or quite 1900. Two years ago
Grant carried Indiana by 9,572 majority,
