Hon. Charles Hitchcock Is fhf

Hon. Charles Hitchcock Is the Repub-
hcan candidate for Supreme Judge of the
Seventh Judicial DISTRICT by virtue of a
regular nomination In fairly-conducted
convention.
Hon ". K AIcAllister is the candidate
OF the Democrats Of the district, without
the formality Of nomination, for the rea-
son that he has no competitor in bis party
for the Office.
Mr. McAllister is as strongly attached to
the principles and policies of the Demo
cratic party rs air. Hitchcock is to those Of
the Republican organization The election
Of Mr.. McAl]ister would be just az much
q party victory for the Democrats rs the
election of Mr.. Hitchcock would be
victory for the Republicans. They
are both able, competent, and well-qualifed
candidates, and no candid man acquaint-
ed with both gentlemen will pretend to say
that Mr.. McAllister would make q better
Supreme Judge than Mr.. Hitchcock. Hence
there can be no possible reason or motive
for any Republican voting for the Demo-
CRITIC candidate for Supreme Judge, in pref
erence to the Republican candidate We,
therefore, look for the election Of MIR:
Hitchcock by very large majority in this

The passage of the "High Court Of
Justice BILL" by the House of Lords OF
Great Britain, which was so quietly an~
nounced yesterday, is IN event which may
not be supposed to particularly interest the
American people. If the British Paria-
ment had mapped off the empire into Sena-
torM and Representative Districts, and
adopted basis of representation accord
ing to numbers, it could not have
rendered more signal compli-
ment to American ideas than
IN the measure which is covered up, and
obscured under the title HHioh Court of
Justice bill" This bill, it is true, estab-

tute for the present supreme tribunals of
law and chancery, but its distinguishing
feature consists in its proposal to abolish
the technicalities of legal procedure, the
distinctions between law and equity, law

The Indian Tax ON Migrating Cattle.


There is one branch Of the Indian question
in which the citizens of Missouri and Kansas,
and the Northwest, together With the citizens
Of Texas, are grently interested, and to which
We deeire TO call the attention Of the govern
ment. Citizens Of the United States in TeIaa
have csttle which they wish to sell, snd otter
citizens in Missouri And elsewhere wish to pur-
chase them- Large droves Of cattle are an
nual1y cent northWard from the immense plains
Of Texas, and arc necessarily driven through
the Indian Territory. This Territory ia orcn-
pied By various tribes Of Indians. each Of
that pass through its boundaries. When the
cattle droTgr lesves Texas, he first cnte1e
the precincts Of the ChickasawB. who exact
= tag Of fifty cents per head; then
he passes into tho country Of the Seminoles,
tSa Tho ca impose per capita tax Of fifty cents; ;
Is paid; adjoining them are the Cherokeos,
who content themselves with tax Of ted
cents per head; and finally the droyer reaches
the small country Of the Qua Paws, who per-
NIT the cattle to be heraea among then. await
pg ahpment, at the rate OF five cents per
last charge, the entire txr is p1ain case Of
Systematic stealing. It reminds one Of the
obnoxious Danish Sound Dues, against which
~ clvl1zed nations protested But this, m
Ike that, is not = case Of unjust exaction By q
foreign power; and that this system Of o1ac-
ktNA olutAl l6 aQue1Eu tu GAlak H4kA4A t4Ao
limits OF our OWN domain Is aH shameful to the
government az it is unjust to its citize11s-
There is, We understand pretenco that
this tax ia demanded as reasonable conpenss-
ton for the loss Of herbsge, resulting fruo
the pAssin9 Of cattle through the Territory.
A moments consideration suftices to convince
sly one thst II fs but 3 pretence, and that ths
ta1 is, in fact, 60 much toll e1Acted for the
privilege Of passing through the count1y-a
toll which, if.1t can be demanded ut all, can be
increased until it will amount to prohibition
Of commercial intercourse between the citi-
zens Of Texas 8nd Missouri
paid to the Qua Pawa- Their limits are re-
stncted. and the her1ling within those limits
Of 11Co0 cattle for. aay, nine mopths
for come comp The sun
paid them, even at the rate OF five cents per
week, is not Uncomfortable, agg1egatiug some
sl8, o00-an amount which will 60 far toward
keeping them 10 pocket money.
!he other tribes, however, haye largo and
extended areas. The range Is unlimited, and
more than sufficient for The needs Of ten times
AZ the cattle that the tribes OWL or thSt pass
through the Territory from Te1as- The loss
BY the cropping Of the grass by the Texas
cattle Ia as inapprecisble - is the loss OF tha
water they drink from the htooh to s1ake
their thirst
We have not now the means Of estimating
tha number Of cattle passing through the
Western portion OF the Territory to Ablane;
but it Is Undoubtedly large. The number that
wiu cu1no into the Qua Paw region, to be
shipped north ON tho Missouri River, Fort

exceed 3Q,QQ0. The tax exacted for the pass

Here We hare a net grin On exports Of the

per cent in currency or 10 per cent in coin
values The increase Of foreign imports en-
tered for consumption IN the United States
during the came period is not quite per cent,
The net improvement IN the exports OF our
chief products Of i1dust1y amounts to S7o-
0u0, 600 in round numbers. This is certainly q
satisfactory exhibit, and it goes far toward
accounting for the existing weakness in for
eiGn exchange, and the small amount Of specie
exports, as compared with corresponding
periods in former years. II We could obtain
accurate statistics Of the amount Of American

tade would be complete. Th8t He have sent
abroad very large amounto securities during
the current financial year is quite csrtain, and
This fact must be regarded ~ drawback to
the otherwise satisfactory exhibit presented
BY the Bureau of Statistics.
The exports Of coin during tho nine months
ending March 81, 1870, are probably lighter
tlan at any former time IN corresponding peri
odS. The exports Of coin and bullion amount
cd to S29, ,138, ,554, while the imports amounted
to E20, 412,50 leaving an excess of coin OK
ports Of only 81, ,72G, ,077. With wise Congress
sional 1egislation on the great queations Of
finance and taxation, there can be no doubt
stored to something like its former prosperity.
At present our manufactures are practically
excluded from foreign markets. Our prosper-
Gus South American, East Indian, and British
American trade is almost extingu1shed BY a

respect, and the sooner it takes place the bot
