WASHINGTON Jan. 3, 1870.
On the sth Of May. 1880, certain Pawnee Indians
left their reservation and went into Polk county,
Nebraska, where they murdered Edward McNnry,
without cause or proyocation. Mrs. McNury,
widow OF the murdered man, now appeals to the
Indian Department for damages amounting to
$25,0oo which she asks may be assessed upon the
tribe and taken rom their appropriations.
The agent for the Nez-Perces Indians reports to
the department that during recent term of the Dis
trict Court Idaho man was indicted for selling
whskey to the Indians, and being found guilty was
sentenced to the state Prison for twelve months
This IS said to have sautary effect 1t was the
first case Of conviction for that offence IN that
court. There have been no drunken Indians seen
since In the tribe.
The following telegram was received this after
noon from General Suiy, dated at Fort shaw, Mon
tana Territory, to-day
have met Of the Backfeet chiefs. They promise
north and procure the stolen stock and w If they
deliver up the three principal murderers.
The above refers 70 outrages which have been
committed during the recent fa months, principally
by the Pisgan tribe OF the Backleet nation who
have gone north OF the line OF Montana Territory
into British America. They are thought to be at
least 200 miles north OF the ne OF the United States
territory.

past is not well cleared out we shall hear Of
It. There are many Frenchmen, we know,
who think that the empire has been expensive.
1t has spent money, but it has not reduced
taxation. Ministers under the new rsgimc are
to be questioned. If the past is not to be
blamed it will be all the better for the past,
and it will not be the worse for the present and
the future. On the whole it is our opinion
that Napoleon has done well. His very latest
speech has produced IAN unusually favorable
effect on the Bourse, the quotations remaining
firm and transactions active at the close yes
terday. The formation of the new Cabinet
has had very excellent effect in Paris, and
even the radical journals applaud the imperial
policy, and almost express the words that the
ruler is himself again. Ii the Parliament can
do better than this it win be all right.
