Washington.

The Turkish minister has announced to
the President that the Sultan. desirsus to
tender him token of his amity and SYM
pathy, had issued orders to The Imperial
factory at Ourcha, near Smyrna, for the
special execution of a large carpet. of one
piece, for the East Room of the Mansion.
! The uncommon dimensions OF this room
require, il appears. the mounting of a loom
for the especial purpose.
In tile Twentieth District of Pennsylva-
mia, a brewery valued at SO. 600, and 3,066
gallons of spirits, value $4,000, have been
seized.
A strong pressure is brought upon the
. President by Senators and Representatives
to induce Secretary Boutwell, to desist upon
his advocacy Of the income tax. Letters
are pouring i'll upon Congress from all parts
sf the country against the extension of
! what they pronounce most odious and in
quiSitorial law. The President has prom
ised to call the attention OF Secretary Bout
well to this measure. and indicated his will
lngness to abandon it if deemed advisable
The Secretary, however, is known to be
favorable to the tax. and will insist ON it's
extension without reduction. lie maintains
that it is the most equitable tax in our
I
on the wealthy classes, and not upon tile
industrial interests.
There are row two bills before Congress
! providin" for the enlol cement of the fif-
tcenth article OF amendment to the Con-
stitution-that of Judge bingham in the
House, and that OF Governor Morton in the
Senate. OF the two bills, the one intro
duced by Senator Morton. on Friday of last
j. fora Al, Of r.
prehensiveness and simplicity.
The public debt statement shows a reduc-
ton during the month of March Of over
$1,000 600 decrease quite unexpected in
view of the heavy payments--nearly SD
0O0, COCOON account of pensions during the
/ early part of last month. The decrease
during the month Of April will undoubtedly
be much greater as the receipts from the
internal revenue are usually very heavy in
this month, while the general expenses of
| the Government are light.
Postmaster General Creswel has con-
Guided a treaty by which letter postage to
Germany is reduced to seven cents direct
and fifteen cents via England.
1t is not known whether General But
lcr's Joint resolution to annex San Denim
go will be passed just now, and in view of
the question of the propriety of taking the
subject out of the hands of the Senate
whilst the treaty is under consideration in
the latter body, it is expected that the
House will not he willing to entertain the
joint resolution proposition until the Senate
shall have disposed of the treaty either by
ratification or rejection. The plan that
seems to obtain favor most is to appoint a
commission to visit San Domingo and
report whetcr the Island should be annexed
or not. Were the treaty out of the hands
Of the Senate there is but little doubt that
joint resolution of annexation would
pass both Houses.

From the st. Louis Republican, March 26]
The Piegan Indians.

We are in receipt of letter from Ger
Indians, who complains very bitterly about
the general tone Of newspapers in regard to
the treatment of the Indians by the frontier
population and the troops. He states the
case i'll a very clear and intelligent manner:
lie says. in substance: In settling orr
families so far from civilization, we act only
seemingly with freedom. BY examining
our condition thoroughly, it will be found
that we are almost forced to do so. | adj
nit that TIE Indian is constantly driven
westward, but so is the poor white man.
In the States it is not good arabic land alone
which has become too dear, but everything
else has reached such high prices that the
best crops are insufficient to keep farmers
out of debt. The inroad of fashionable
habits in country life on one hand and high
taxation on the other are crowdiug the
white fam Just as ilresistibly 10 the
West as brute force and the want of hunt
ing grounds are driving the Indians toward
the Pacific. The same laws which make
the Indians retire from us force us to fol
low them wherever they 60. If they are
hunted down by our rifles, we are hunted
down by land sharks, Federal and State
imposts the high price of hired labor. and
the protective tariff. Andyet, aftor the great
capitalists have, with the assistance Of the
Federal Government, built railways across
the continent, and induced us by their
means at communication to settle amoay
the savageS. we are treated harshiy by the
press whenever We attempt to iofiify our
condition on the frontier by the only means
which are Ineligible to the Indians. A
false sentimcutality is exhibited in favor of
these who were driven thousands of miles
from their original homes because they
would not participate in the common habits
Of the whites, while the white settlers, who
were driven the same distance, and who
now cultivate the soil, ard lay the founda-
tions of American civilization at the risk of
their lives, and in constant struggling, are
criticised according TO the standard of the
most scrupulous morality and philanthropy.
We on the frontier are the founders of new
communities. We have to do precisely as
the most ancient tribes used TO do in estab-
fishing themselves among the hostile ma
tons. We have principally to employ the
stronger features of the white race, and
dispense with all the more refined means of
civilization; snch. fer instance, rs example,
persuasion, and mild address. We have
first to Conquer the soil upon which We
live. and then we must establish security
within cur borders. We cannot even live
in the next vicinity to the Indians. Their
intercourse injuries our incipient ciyliza-
ron, not because they are bad but because
they are specifically different from U.S.
Those, therefore, who force us to follow the
Indians compel ourselves at the same time
to free ourselves from them. If we cannot
do this without aid We call en- the troops,
and they invariably assist us III the only
possible manner, because they are of our
own race, and moved by the same instincts
as We arc.

The First Colored Votes Cast in Maryland

The First Colored Votes Cast in Maryland.
The corporation election took place at
Towsontown, Baltimore county, on Monday
last at which the first colored votes III the
State, under the authority Of the Fifteenth
Amendment, were cast. The BLACK Re-
publicans," who have leen so long prephe-
cied of by Democratic soers, delivered thcir
ballots against Democracy with the proci-
sion and stcadiness that their musketry fire
was discharged against the rebels on The
battle field, and with similar results. De-
mocracy was defeated.
The registers opened their books en the
Friday preceding the election, and the col
ored voters applying were registered-the
chivalry quietly bowling to fate. Five COM
missioners were elected, all of whom are
Republicans.

A Brace of Democratic Bankrupts.

The New York World, after asserting
that Sweeney and Tweed have had political
control over New York city for the past six
years. asks what they have done with their
stewardship?
1t seems that these Democratic ringlead-
ers have managed affairs much to their own
private emolument, and very little to the
public benefit. The World asserts that
'Mr. Sweeney, who had no private fortune
when he came to public office, is known to
have become enormously rich out Of the
private proceeds of his public Offices
"Mr Tweed" continues the same relia-
BILE authority, twas worth less than moth
ing when he took to the trade of politics,
for he was bankrupt. Now he has great
possessions, estimated all the way from
s., ZOO, coo to twice as much. Wea sorry
not to be able to give his own estimate,
but, unluckily. lie returns no income. But
at least lie is rich enough to own gorge
Gus house in town and a sumptuous seat in
the country; stud of horses, and a set of
palatial stables
Fora brace of Democratic bankrupts who
have had partnership in the "trade of
politics - for only six years, this will do
very well. Few business firms i'll the coun-
try have driven SO thriving business
According to the World, one of the part
ners has tleeced the people out of riches so
enormous as to be inestimable, and the
other has amased great possessions, estima-
ted all the way from five to ten millions of
dollars.
In the light of such 4 showing, how false
and groundiess are all the Democratic prom
ises of economy and honesty in the admin
stratioh of the Government! The Demo-
cratic party has but one firm foethold in
the country, which is New York city, and
that is the scene of the most stupendons
official thieving. 1t has but two men who
possess real power to control the party, and
they are Tweed and Sweeney.-I'rcsS
