The Indians.

The following telegram from Lieuten-
ant General Sheriden to General Sherman
was received at Army Headquarters on
the 4th inst
A band of Sioux Indians some time ago
passed Fort Rice, en- route TO attack the
Mandans at Fort Berthold, because they
are and always have been friendly to the
whites. The commanding officer at Fort
Rice tried to dissuade the Sioux from their
purpose by reading the treaty to them and
speaking of the anger of the Great Father
the President. They laughed at him,
and made the attack.
| have somewhat blamed the officer at
Fort Rice for not having attacked this par,
tv. and have ordered Lat hereafter in SIM
liar cases he should use his command fol
! the destruction of such parties. The 81
oux are again about to renew the attack
on the Mandans, and some of them may
get hurt under my orders. Shall coun.

THE WHEAT MARKET.

Last Fall we thought our farmers were
acting prudently by not selling their wheat
and perhaps, we so advised them. But 1t
NAV be our advice and their actions were
not wise. We are ready and willing to
acknowledge that our ideas at that time
concerning the wheat market this winter
were not correct. And the probable con-
d1tion of the market during the next
three or four months is a question Of great
interest TO both dealers and producers.
The season thus far has been an unsatlsfac-
tory one to all classes except consumers.
and its influence on trade has been unfa-
| vorable. giving rise to serious ~forebodings
for the future. A very large amount OF
the Weld of 1869, has already been placed
upon the market and passed into consump-
! ton But notwithstandingth the great amount
| hat has been used, still the amount held
| at the large grain centers at the West, are
exceedingly heavy. At Chicago, the
amount in store is estimated at between
three and four million bushels, and at
! Milwaukee there is two million bushels,
and large amounts at other cities, steadily
increasing. while many farmers are stu
eholding large amounts, waiting %anxiousiy
for prices to go up. Our merchants are
complaining that collections are exceeding
" difficult, and in turn the burden IS lifted
4 from their shoulders and laid upon those
of the farmer, 1t is said the latter have
wheat but will not sell at present prices tc
paw store debts. As a partial result OF
such action on their part, trade is much
A depressed. which creates a gloomy and
responding feeling in business circles.
In view of these facts it becomes a ques
ton of serious Importance whether holden
are acting wisely in refusing present prices
and whether. by such a course they arc
mot making it certain that prices will b
4 still lower next summer, thus bringing nj
relief TO themselves and inficting still
greater injury upon the trade generally
~
There is no prospect of a foreign war, o
any other disturbance that will create al
uausual demand while the crops every
where now upon the ground, 50 far as re
ports are received, are looking favorable
/, With these facts we'll established, as the.
} seem to be, we can see no prospect OF bet
ter prices. that will warrant the withhold
ing of the staple from the market. 1t

THE new -CoNsTITUTION.

THE NEW CONsAFAU1hON'
On the 26th inst. the people OF Tennes-
see will determine whether theJ Will per-
nit the Consultation to remain as 1t IS, or
ratify the propositions thereto made BY
the Convention. This is a grave question,
and every voter should carefully study and
weigh the matter, and calculate the result
of his course. Changing the -organic law

tranquility and welfare are to be secured,

The objections to the new CONSTITUTION
are many and patent. 1t is defective, over
looking the design of good government :
it is contracted, hampered, warped and
biased to foster factions and conine all
powers in the hands OF a certain few. Inc
new Constitution has faults ofomission and
and commission. Although the Conyen-
ton was urged time and again to make
provision for free education n to pro
tect this all-important matter from the
~manipulations of politicians and place
hunters. all these appeals were UNDECIDED,
and the consequence is that free eduea7
ton in Tennessee-the vitality of all good
government and society-is put under
the ban.
A second objection is hat most OF the
counties of the State are prohibited from
giving aid to public improvement, except
by a " thirds vote. This is virtually
prohibition. Certain counties are emu
merated which are exempt from this re-
..-;o.;o, .Dd tho Convention ASSIGNED no
ro.son for This martial and UNEQUAL pro,
vision The design Of this is apparent.
All aid 10 public enterprise must COME
from the Legislature. and this opens the
field for LOBBYISTS and gives them the OPP
portunity of e~xpending secret funds upon
its members.
But the proposition requiring a receipt
for poll tax before voting is the greatest
objection. 1t is an abrogation of all the
principles upon which the right of the
ele ctive franchise is founded. 1t denies
the long established doctrine that suffrage
is a property right, that cannot be diyest-
ed except upon conviction of an infamous
crime. 1t is a license upon bribery. 1t
is establishing the price and value of a
vote. Whether intended or not 1t Will
have the effect Of declaring the poor man
from the opportunity Of securing office,
because be has no money 70 buy votes, and

MIR. GoLLIDAY's CASE.

Gov. Stevenson, of Kentucky telcSrarhs
that under the peculiar circumstances UNI
der which Representative Golladay of that
State resigned, he cannot ACCEPT his reSIg-
nation. He deems it due to the State and
to the member himself hat there should
be a full investigation and "a decision by
the House in the premises. The deci-
sion of the House i'll the Whittemore case
was that the resignation to the House was
final. and it is doubtful if Mr.. Golladay
will be recognized as a member if he de-
sires to withdraw his letter to the Speaker.
In the meantime, whatever may be the
result of this new question, the military
committee will 60 on and finish up Mr..
Gulladay's case.
