PAYMENT OF INDIAN ANNUTrEs
ssZeta" of the Baltimore Sun, says:
Secretary Cox has issued an order
that hereafter all moneys due to Indi-
sns shall be paid on the very day it is
due by the terms of the obligation.
This he considers should be done not
only as a moral duty, but as a matter
III practical good policy. The Indians
are not capable of understanding the
contingencies which have sometimes
arisen to prevent payments being
made, and can therefore only look
apon such = failure rs n breach Of
:aith on the part of their Great Father.
For this and other reasons the Secre-
rary has determined that at whatever
inconvenience these claims should be
promptly settled"

THE REASON WHY.-In answer to

The REASON WHY.-In answer to 4
correspondent who wishes to know
more aboa. the peculiar lightness of
and lac Of buoyancy observable in
the watccs Of Lake Tahoe, the proba-
BILE cause, &c, we can only give our
theory, which is as follows: The lack
of buOyancy or density in the waters
of Tahoe, of which so much has been
said, is owing in the first place to the
exceedingly small per cent. of miner
ais of any kind which they contain in
solution, and in the second place. to
the great altitude of the Lake. The
result Of the diminished atmospheric
pressure upon the surface of the Lake.
consequent upon its great elevation,
must operate to lessen the density of
buOyancy of its waters. The princi
pal cause of the lightness of the water
of our mountain lakes is the freedom
from minerals i'm sOlutiOn-its purity.
In case the basin of Lake Tahoe were
filled with the waters of Mono Lake,
or of Salt Lake, the difference in dem
sity that would be caused by the light
ness of the atmosphere would proba-
bly, not be noticeable [En.crprise.

THE Comptroller of the Currency
has found it necessary to again caution
the public against receiving fifties and
one hundreds of the First National
rank of Jersey City, New Jersey. The
Central National Bank of New York

the continent has been spanned with
telegraphic wires; the two oceans have
been connected with iron bonds our
entire domain is organized with civil
government new States of wealth
and power have been added to the
Union and old States, purified as by
fire from the faint of treason, have
beeu reconstructed and once more
clothed with their appropriate powers.
And all those results have been achie-
we'd not only without the aid but against
the efforts Of the Democratic party.
"A political organization of such
respectable antecedents as the Federal
party was utterly destroyed by suspi-
cion that, in the hour of war, its SYM
pathies were not actively on the side
Of the country. How much more de-
serving of reproach and condemnation
is the Democratic party, which through
its Southern wing made war upon
the Government, while the Northern
wing was divided between the actual
with the rebels and tardy
support with the national authorities.
1t is not wise, know, to keep alive
or inflame resen,ments,
and / do not recall these painful facts
with any such desire, or any such pur-
pose. But l am persuaded that great
evils would result to this country by |
restoring to power the men who az
tempted to destroy it, and believe it
is an imperative and patriotic duty to
keep the people aroused to the neces-
sity of averting even the possibility of
such q disaster"

A SHAN DUEL IN VIEGINIA.-The

says:
A sham duel came off recently on
the bloody ground near the Poor

young NJ. felt agyrieved AT the conduct
OF C., several years his senior. and this
unpleasantness, through the interven-

was not more in earnest or in hotter
blood at Haguenau than young NJ.

use in loading his pistol was as deadly

calmness, looking for all the world as
if he had made his will and was bent

the distance measured, the belliSer-

the fOruIalities known to the code. The
pistols were loaded as if with bullets,
and the word given. e. fired in the
air quickly, but NJ, with more DELHI
Grafton, fired straight at his antagon-
ist, who, at the crack of his antagOn-

yelled, Il am shot" The seconds
