The Friends and the Indians.


SUPERINTENDENT JANNEY's REPLY To SENATOR
TiIAYER.
The Omaha Daily Herald, Jure 10, publishes a
letter from s. NJ Janney, superintendent Of In-
dian affairs in Nebraska, contralicting state
ment of Senator Thayer in the Senate that, as
the result of the introduction Of the Friends into
the superintendency there have been more muir
ders of peaceful citizens and greater destrnc-
tion of the property of citizens OH the frontier Of
Nebraska during the last year than there had
been during the previous eight years. MIR. jan
ney says the only case OF niirdlcr suspected to
have been committed by Indians under his charge
was attended to the next day after the charg was
communicated to the agent, and aft II a patient
examination the agency concluded there was
sufficient testimony to warrant the commitment
of five of the Winnebagoes for examination by
State authorities. They were promptly delivered
up, and are now in custody. The murder of Me-
Murty took place before Mr.. Jalney went to Ne
braska but soon after lie took charge the body
was found, and, the crime being charged upon
the Pawnees, Mr.. Janney was the first to move
in the matter of their arrest by inducing the
chiefs to give up those on whom suspicion rested.
1t il not the purpose of the Friends to screen
the guilty, and the Indians know it, For the
murders on the frontier by the Indians white
men, the Friends who have charge of the super
intendency are not responsible in any way The
Indians under their charge did ot,commt them,
and it is obviously unjust to attribute them to
Quaker policy. In addition to these facts. Mr..
Janney SAYS lie can show that more work has
been done by Indian labor lllrins the last year
than ever before by these tiih,,,. They are
using to advantage their agricultural aud me-
clanical implements. plowiuS and planting,
cutting and hauling saw logs for their buildings,
and the men are doing work formerly only done
by squaws Even some of the chiefs who never
worked before have put their hanls to the plow
and drive their own teams. Tins fact that not a
drop of Quaker blood has ever been shed by
Indians is sufficient of itself to show the marked
success Of the dealings of the Friends with the
red men, and that the distinction awarded them
as agents of the government in dealing with the
Indians is wisely bestowed

And yet we confess that we by no means con-
template the present aspect of this immigration
with unmixed satisfaction. II these Coolies are
to be thrust upon us, merely because they have
fewer wants than most civilized beings, and can
therefore be hired for less ;--if they are to re-

taking root in our soi-then will their cheap la

elastic Republican Government may bear, we
know not but it is certainly prudent to bear
the strain as gradually as possible. Above all,
we should avoid degrading our suffrage. A Gov

popular education and National morality; Ii we
cannot assimiate the Chinese, they had better

A SUMMER PICTURE.

The Summer sun is blazing,
But an odorous little breeze.
Stirs softly In the branches
OF the shadowy linden trees,
Beyond whose shape and GOODNESS
Meadow and upland lie
Ablaze with light, which shimmers
Beneath the MONDAY sky.
There the rcapers, with their loaded wains
A peaceful conquest win,
For It's Summer-full Summer
And the harvest coming In.
Under the linden shadows
Two youthful figures bend;
In one slant ray of sunshine
Brown locks and golden, blend;
Dark eyes and blue, are fixed upon
The page upon her knee;
Two hearts beat In one measure
Foretelling things to be.
o! loiterers at the golden gates
Where Loves bright rays begin
For you tits Summer-Summer-
And your harvest coming in
Sitting In deeper shadow,
That picture fair see,
And think-0, youth! o, dawning love.
What blessed things are ye.
Years to our age bring g0odly gifts,
Great blessings, added powers;
But the freshness of ife's morning
Can never more be ours.
No, nevermore the hopes, the thrills,
The feelings which have been,
1t is past-is past-our Summer,
And our harvest gathered In.
Nay, but there still remaineth
Another land than this
Where higher lives and nobler aims
Find Duty only Bliss.
The Alpha and Omega
OF all things wait us there,
The first and last, forever one,
Forever fresh and fair.
No good is lost, no grace withheld
From those who dwell therein,
Where, through neyer-ending Summer,
Angels bring the harvest In.

RED STOCKINGS, OF cINcINNATI, AND ATHLETICS, OF
PIiILApELpIlIA--A GREAT MATCH, YESTERDAY.
The Red Stocking Club, of Cincinnati, played
their game with the Athletic, Wednesday, on the
grounds of the latter. This game had been, for
some time past, anxiously looked for and add-
tional interest attached to it from the fact that
the Atlantic Club, OF Brooklyn, last week beat
the Red Stockings by a score of runs to 7, and
the Athletics afterwards beat the Atantics by
the score of 10 runs to three. The tlmong that
gathered within the grounds was probably the
largest ever assembled on the spot and crowds
covered the hills and housetops in the vicinity,
overlooking the grounds. Both clubs had been
peculiarly successful during the present season
in their match games, but the prevailing senti-
ment here was that the Athletics would prove
victorious.
Having lost the toss. the Red Stockings were
sent to the bat for the first innings, in which
they scored two runs, and were then lielded out.
The Athletics in their turn making seven. The
fielding on the part of both clubs in this inning
was below their average, and did not rise above
that average during the remainder of the game,
though some pretty catches were made by SEN
senderfer and Bechtel of the Athletics, and
Geo. Wright and Leonard, of the Red Stockings.
The Red Stockings gradually increased their
score and kept down that of the Athletics, until
at the close of the sixth inning they led by six
runs. In the seventh inning they scored two
runs, and by good batting the Athletics made
four. In the eighth inning the lied Stockings
were retired without rum The Athletics then
went to the bat and had scored one run, with two
men on bases, when Mcbride sent them in and
came in himself by long hit to left field, thus
making the score even. The excitement at this
point was intense, and was increased when the
Red Stockings going to the bat on the last inning
made but two runs. The game was now con
sidered to be the Athletics and they going tc
the bat the striker made his second base
clean hit Sensentlerfer following was put OH
by hit to short-stop, q. Wright, who iielded il
to Gould at first base in time Schaffer, the mex
at the bat, struck out and the third hand wa
caught on a short fly by George Wright, retiring
the Athletics for no run and giving the game L

AN UPRIGHT MAN SUSTAINED BY HIS CONSTITUENTS.
[From the West Chester Am. Republican,
The denomination of Hon. VIM. ID. Kelley,
for Congress, is creditable to the Republicans Of
the Fourth District of Philadelphia, as the COM
pliment was due to the distinguished candidate
Some few months since, Judge Kelley wrote
letter in reply to some friends who addressed
him communication, king him to be candi-
date for reelection. In this letter MIR. Kelley
distinctly stated that if it was understood to be
part of his duty as q member of Congress- to
find places or employment for his constituents,
lie did not wish to be a candidate. This unu-
sual, as well as unexpected sentiment, gave Of
fense to number. of small politicians in his
district, who Immediately set to work to accom-
plish his defeat. All agree that the Judge gave
no personal attention to the canvass, but re-
manned quietly in his seat at Washington, atten-
ding to his official duties, thus permitting his
| constituents to exercise their own unbiased
Judgments. The fact that he was re-nominated
| by vote Of GA to 81, shows that there is al
least one constituency in the State that knows
how to appreciate the acts of an independent
J Representative. Let us rejoice.

THE ISSUES BEFORE THE PEOPLE.


The people of this State, tired of being ab-
sorbed, body, soul, and estate, unto the capa-
cicis nav Of the Salisbury clique OF ofiice-hol-
ders, propose to make change, this year, IN the
State government. Seeing that no important
national issue now claims our attention, 1t Is
wise, for once, to look at our own affairs. For
ton years, in the Legislature, and six in the
Governors chair, the present oihce-holders,
their near relations, have had full control OF the
State They took charge, when Delaware had
no debt; they will leave it, with the Treasury
empty, an enormous and sancreaslng state DEBT
accumulated, an onerous State tax laid upon the
people, and damaged credit for our securities.
To an accountability for this mismanagement,
these men must DO stflctiy heiu. IL ID no1 aione

people must, out OF their hard earnings, pay,put
that they incurred it to aid indirectly, the cause

A DgIrIED AMERICANA correspondent wri-
ting from Canton, says that Ward, the American
tilibuster, who went to China some years ago,
and entered the service of the Emperor, aiding
in suppressing the rebellion, has been deifed.-
The people accept all the Gods that may be de-
creed, and now that an American has been thus
favored, they will have still more confidence in
our country and countrymcn. The correspon-
dent says:
Ward was of great service to the emperor in
putting down the rebellion. His success was
wonderful to the Chinese. and at the time when
lie was accidentally shot by his own men, they
looked upon him as the greatest general that
request, his coffin was left at Ming Po, according
to Chinese custom, above ground and uncovered.
Nine months after, Qs63,) the Emperor ordered
the body to be removed to Sing-kong, and de-
posted in the Temple of Confucius. Within the
temple was set mp a tablet bearing his name, as
the 'Captor of Sung Kong and many other
cities The Emperor has seen lit to go further,
and, in recent edict, has placed him among the
major Gods OF China, commanding slirnes to
he built and worship TO be paid to the memory
of this American. The people are worshipping
him along with the most ancient and powerful
deities of their religion as great deliverer from
war and famine-as powerful god i'll the form
of a man. ln every household, school and tenn
pie, his name will be thus commemorated. Tie
remembrance of millions of people secures hi
immortality. The dedication of this American
certainly will give additional intensity to the re-
spect already entertained for the United States
Any country in which Chinese deity was born
is good enough for his worshpers"

CONFLICTING yIEws.-Two or three of the DEM
ocratic sheets hereabouts, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser, are just now having a
lively time among themselves as to what their
party should do. The Old Guard insists that
unless the next National Democratic Convention
comes out fairly and squarely against all the re-
cent constitutional amendments and demands
their resistance and overthrow by force. the
Democratic rank and file should remain away
from the polls and permit the next national con-
test to go by default. The Jersey City Standard
objects TO this, and counsels acquiescence III
the situation. And for doing SO it elicts n sharp
rebuke from the Day Book which proceeds to
vent its views in this wise ''If the true. earnest
and faithful Democracy will only stand by the
principles of 1776 and two years hence nominate
man pledged to ignore the John Brown Amend
ments, and thus restore the Union the enormous
traitors have overthrow while protesting to de-
fend it, all will be well. y Peace restor-
