Grant presented Spotted Tail with
a fine pipe, silver match box, and box
of tobacco. Red Cloud was not present.
He had n friendly interview with Spot
ted Tail this morning, who will, with
his people, meet the Indian Commits
sioncr and Secretary of the Interior in
council tomorrow. Spotted Fail and
his delegation had conference to-day
at the White House with the President
and Secretary of War. Boutwell, and
IIoar were present, but did not take
part in the conference. The Indians
rccited the old story OF their wrongs,
their wants, and their desire to be at
peace with the whites. The President
made q speech, assuring them of the
desire of the government to have peace,
and told them the whites were power
full, and would prove it IL necessary :;
but he hoped for thoroughly amicable
relations Between the nations. Spotted
Tail said that the Indians had kept
their promises, but the whites had not.

Brother Republicans, be watchful for
such men! Some of them have already
got into the fOld-men who care no
more for Rcpublicansm than they do
for last years bird-ncst-incn utterly
selti5h-the ESaus of politics, who would
sell out their Lirthrights and everybO-
dy's else for pottage. Again we repeat
our message of the other day: 1--WE
must be watchful, and trust no Demo-
crat who joins us till we KNOW him
to be an out-and-out, thorough RADI-
pAL FROM CONVICTION. ."-C CHClr-
lesion Rcpubiicom.
The above paragraph, from the organ
of the party, we judge will not set very
well upon the stomachs of the few
white RAIDS at this place, who have al
ready declared, upon more than oneOc-
casion in conversation, that they did
not care q damn for the negroes-that
they were willing TO submit to all this
degradation of eating and sleeping with
negroes until they had made, all the
money they could then they intended
TO pack UP and leave for the West.n

for the party to take n new departure,

10y Independently of the old issues of

that The policy of Il great party can be
suddenly formed, we are sure that it Is
the part ofwisdom promptly 10 grapplc
with NIL difficulties Of politics ana gov

or postpone action. 1t is not to he de-
MED that the Republican party lacks n
broad national policy with regard to
finance, taxation, and lmposts. For
six months, Republican leaders i'm Con-
grcss have been at logrcrhcads on those
subjects, and the country is apparently
no nearer solution of any one Of them
than it was at the beginning OF the scs-
sion. Yet the approaching campaign
will probably largely depend on these
issues, and the Whole notion is anxious

II is to he feared that the people will
refuse to wait much longer.

DEAR SIR, With your permission, !

through the c>lumns of your paper
make statement that is due to certain

Commission. The article on The sub
jcct ofthc Land Commission, published
this n.ornhg, has elected certain facts
that should he made known in order
that full justicssnall be meted out 10 ali
concerned, Us that was the proposition
upon which the late article was sub
mittcd. In thatarticlc, Mr. Leslie was
charged with pfSk,ring the signatures
of NcSsrs. Parker, Chamberlain and
Neagic To an application for the pur-
chase of Il Iargftract of land in Charles
ton county. This was mistake. Mr..
Parker had charge of the affair from the
beginning, and Mr.. Leslie says hc Sig,l-
c't the application in G'Cuk upon Mr..
ParkCr'S representation, and Mr.. Par
kcr, State Treasurer, procured the sig
natures of MessrS. Chamberlain and
Nca%ic to the same paper by rcprcscn-
ting the l"nc tO'he cheap and good, and
a good investment for the Commission
to make. Af"r having the signatures
