Indian Affairs.


SUPERINTENDENT.
The Commissioner of Indian Affairs has re-
ceived letter from Enoch Hoag, Superintendent
of Indian Affairs at Leavenworth, stating that in
accordance with instructions he called a general
council of the tribes of the Indian Territory at
that place. as soon after the 18th ut., possible
but on account of the rivers being swollen, many
of the delegates could not receive the notice or
respond to the call. Two days of the session
passed without quorum, but harmony prevailed
and there was manifested an earnest desire on
the part of the delegates present to accept the
privileges provided for their sef-government in
the treaties creating said council.
1t was desired by leading delegates that more
time be afforded preparep properly for necessary
legislation, whereupon an adjournment was
effected to December 5th next He states that
the unanimous invitation of the tribesr represented
through the chief of the Creeks, extended to the
Indians of the plains not only to join the general
council, but to refrain from their rowing and
hostile habits and engage in peaceful and
industrial occupations, may be regarded as q
most encouraging step to better life on then
part, and he fully expects that they will all be
represented at the adjourned meeting of the
council.

Tho November number of The Tecfnologist is
replete with valuable articles on Scientific and
industrial topics, several of them are accompa-
MED with explanatory engrayings. This is the
cheapest publication Of it's class-S2.0o a year.

attractive table Of contents. There is another

The chronological journal for November,
has its usual variety Of portraits and biographies
of eminent men in literature, politics, music,

the latter being discontinued with the present

An earthquake occurred Thursday, in Ohio,
New York, Pennsylvania. the New England
States and CANDIDA. The time OF its commence
ment as reported by telegraph, varied according
to locality from II to 11.35 A. NJ. and the dura-
ton Of the shock from few seconds to two min
utes. 1t was severe in the towns along the Hud-
son; and in Boston, Cleveland, Montreal,
So 80 shaken ii that TT the % inmates 'i rushed into the
streets. Beyond some tumbling of chimneys,
slight cracking of walls, and breaking of windows
and crockery, no damage is reported, however.
During the earthquake, three hundred feet OF
the bed of the Ogdensburg Railroad, 16 miles
from Portland, Me-, settled ten feet The direc-
tion of the earth wave, where noticed, appeais
to have been generally from north to south. AT
some places rumbling noise was heard, Pro.
fessor Hough, of Dudley Observatory, says the
mercury in the barometer was violently agitated
during the earthquake.

HOW THE MONEY GOES IN sUsSEx-AN
ASTOUNDING STATEMENT.

In proportion as the separation of the
Democracy in Kent county progresses, does
light come to the people concerning the atrocious
abuse of the public affairs by the Salisbury
Clique and their county satellites. Democrats
know tho facts, and now, fortunately, Democrats
are testifying of them, to the people.
One of the most astounding facts yet made
public, in this way, is the statement made BY
one of the speakers at the meeting OF lnde-
pendent Democrats, at Milford, on the loth
instant. This gentleman explained whence the
funds came which the party leaders, in 1866,
used 80 layishly to elect Governor Salisbury
Money, he said, was poured out for that purpose,
in that campaign, and it was matter for surprise
what abundant source supplied it. In fact,
declared the speaker, the money came out Of
the pockets of the people of Sussex county, and
the forty thousand dollars which the Democratic
operators used in 1866, to buy voters, at $40
head, swept away the whole tax levy OF thai
county, for that year In other words, the
whole amount of taxes collected in SUSSEX
county, for the year 1866, was appropriated D!
the Democrats to the purchase of votes 10
Cove Salisbury
Now this is an amazing fact. As it is made pun
licbyaDemocratic speaker, at aDemocratic NEE.
ing, and refers entirely to Democratic secrets 1t
probably correct. 1t is made strongly probable
indeed, by outward evidence. The debt
Sussex county has mounted steadily upwar
since 1866. Though no public work has bee
done, of any importance, the valuation an
assessment have been increased, year by yea
Where did the money gop 1t is easy to explain
in the light Of the statement quoted. Moreove
it would be very hard to say whence came u
money, if this explanation were rejected.
the Democratic leaders used forty thousai
dollars, or twenty Thousand, or ten thousan
for bribery purposes, In 1865, it is certain IN
the amount was not acquired honestly. But
it was plundered from the Treasury OF Suss
county AS is alleged. the facts that that Treasu
is empty and that hundreds of orders on
though d'auoing interest, are being sold TO mon
shavers at seventy-fve cents on the doilar'
explained at once.
But how long can the taxpayers OF susi
county endure this system of plunder
how long will the people OF the State contu

Chief Justice Chase Retiring.

A Washington rumor is to the effect that Chief
Justice Chase no longer desires to participate in
public affairs. Being man of taste and fortune
he will probably retire from the bench of the
Supreme Court at no distant day, and following
the example Of Governor Seward, travel in Eu-
rope and around the world for the benefit of his
health. In case of his withdrawal, the names
of probable successors are already canvassed,
among them that of Judge Strong of Pennsylva'
mia, now an associate Justice Of the U. 8. Su-

The Pail Mall Gazette, with that ignorance Of
the facts and offensiveness of manner which is
truly Pail Mall characteristic speaks of Senator
Morton, "as a thoroughly incompetent person
to be Minister to England. Doubtless prede-
cessor of that sheet spoke similarly of Benjamin
Franklin, as Minister to France. II Senator
Morton is " incompetent" then the United
States has no men fit to negotiate with the
fastidious Pail Mallers.

The New York Times has details by cable of
an immense meeting of the people Of London,
in "Palace Yard" on Wednesday night. The
Government had made strenuous efforts to pre-
vent it from assembling, and had stationed
strong cordons of police, to check the assem-
bling throngs, but in spite Of all the precautions
of the authorities, nearly 10000 people made
their way from Victoria street. Westminster, and
from other quarters, to Palace yard. An i'm
mense meeting was organized and addressed by
several speakers, including Mr.. Richard Con-
greve, Mr. Weston, Mr.. McSweeney and Mr..
Weber. The drift Of the speeches was unani-
nous. They said the meeting had assembled to
teach the Gladstone Government their duty, and
to compel them to do it. Cheers were given for
Lord Harrington, who had alone shown himself
a man in the present Government, and cries of a
shame on him greeted the allusion Of one
speaker to the apathy Of John Bright in the
presence of the greatest national crime of the
century" One speaker said it was the duty of
Europe to compel Prussia to make compensation
for the vast devastation she had perpetrated in
France King William was denounced, and every
allusion to America cheered most heartily.
Significant and pointed illusions were made to
the English Government, conveying threats oi
revolution.
The despatch concludes that the feeling mani
tested in all quarters during the night was reyo'
lutionary and threatening, and the excitement
caused by It among the better classes is serious

Severe Exactions From the French People.
tParis Correspondence N. Y. Tribune.l

We have no means of ascertaining, rule,
the degree Of credence that may attach to the
narratives which reach us of the acts of the
Prussians, but for the following fact / can
vouch, upon the authority of a member Of the
family of the victim. The Prussians exacted Of
the hamlet of Saint Cyril Ecole, q money pay
ment Of 100, 900 francs. It is a small and poor
village, and the Mayor could not have raised
even had he tried under other circumstances
anything like such a sum. The attempt at this
time when scarcely any inhabitants remained,
would have been a simple absurdity. He told
the Prussians what predicament he was in, but
they would not listen to him, and as, when the
delay they had fixed had expired, the amount
Was not forthcoming, they led him out apd shot
him. His Wife died suddenly OF the shock.
