A few months ago, in company with
a prominent trades unionist of Great
Britain, we were admiring the rich and
varied stock Of goods displayed in the
worldwide celebrated Oxford street of
London. After having carefully ex-
amined several magnificent specimens
Of handicraft, and commented on the
injustice Of a system which denies
their use or possession to those who
produce them, our companion stopped,
ana looking us earnestly in the face,
exclaimed Co, what have I

mine of splendid bituminous coal,

almost inexl ustible, has been opened
here by Mr.. .. G. Short 4 Co., ofDan-

The coal has been subjected to the

Mr.. B0udinot notified the revenue
officers at the time he started his fac
tory, and expressed desire to comply
with every requirement Of that Bureau.
1t appears that there was no interior
ence with this Indian manufacturer
until on or about the 2lst of October,
1850, when Mr.. Commissioner Delsno,
by official notice, served upon him and
the subordinate officers of the Revenue
Department, declared his intention not
to interfere with the manufacture Of
tobacco in the Indian country, only 50
far as the manufactured article might
be brought into the States for sale.
With this new notice or regulation
it seems Boudinot complied strictly
and according TO the written opinion Of
the solicitor of the Revenue Depart
ment, Judge James, the reUenue lao
cossid regHire no more; but within TWEEN
ty-five days from the time that this no.
tee and opinion we're made known,
and without an intimation that it was
the intention of the Government to
change its Indian policy or that Mr..
Boudinot was to be made an exception
TO 1t and victimized, Mr.. Commissioner
Delano ordered his establishment
closed and his stock seized, confscated
and carried off into the State Of Ar
kansas, and the proprietor imprisoned
as a felOn, all Of which was promptly
executed by Mr.. Superintendent John
Mcdonald. Now, while / am more
than willing that everything having the
appearance Of a swindle growing out
Of the Indian treaty system should be
set aside by proper authority with
proper circumspection, yet / can have
no faith i'm the purity of the motives
which actuated the creatures of the
present Administration in this case.
