FROM tne Macon lGa.) Telegraph, Dec. "a
We hear reports which Indicate In some counties
lamentable degree OF decentralization on the sub
ject OF debt paying, which, We believe, Is due, In
great part to the socllled sTelief legislation" Any
sanction by law to popular evasion OF fair pecunary
obligations saps the public sense or rectitude, aud
sets on foot bad fashions which good many are
only too ready to follow.

The Now York Legislature.

From the Utica Herald republican) Dec. 2s.l
One or the most important and delicate steps
to be taken will be The election OF q speaker
by the Assembly. Tie moral effect OF this
choice Will be very great, and Will do much
to strengthen or weaken popular confidence.
There must be no indication of ring combinations
In the matter. We do not want to come under q
republican ring as soon as we get rid OF the demo.
CRATIC That would be to exemplify the fable OF the
fox aud nles We DO not want to welcome q more
hungry set. This Is not what the people have over
thrown tine Taminany Ring for. We want to get
rid OF oil ring Influences anu all combinations to
control the Offices aud divide the spoils Leave
every thing possible TO the people and dispose OF
each case on It's own merits as 1t comes up. Let
members OF the Assembly be cautious how they
make pledges 10 any man.

AIvord as a Candidate for Speaker.

From the Troy Wing republican, Dec. 2J.l
Another objection urged against Mr..
Alvord is his vote IN favor Of the Tweed
charter. He and Mr. Littejohn were the
Oldest and abest members OF the House, aud
were. In fact. leaders OF the republican
party. In the first trial OF strength between the
Young Democracy and Tweed the republicans gave
the majority to the Young Democracy. But subse-
quently Tweed and his friends made over
lures 10 the republicans, which led them to
accept the Tweed charter in consideration OF the
amendment Of certain other laws supposed to be in
the interest OF pure elections We differed with Mr.
Alvord and Mr.. Littejohn and protested against
voting for the Tweed charter on any consitera-
ti0n. But Mr.. Littlejohn mad his Midland Rail-
road on his shoulders, and probably was promised.
In return Tor his vote ana influence, the passage or
the bill approprlatn2 money to aid IN It's construc

standing that the bills in which he was interested
should not be defeated. We nave no doubt that Mr..
Smith would make good Speaker but on the score
OF experience Mr. Alvord IS the httest man for the
Office.
IAN Fra Of Honesty In Politics Bsyinning."
From the Boston Advertiser trepublican) Dec. 2sl
In New York 1t was supposed to be a hopeless
task to fight against the CO rupt agents Of the Ring,
and the reason was that those agents were so many
and well paid that the honest side had little
chance. Reverse the condition OF affairs ana
the peoples cause win be maintained with equal
zeal without the corrupt appliances employed by
Iammany. The indications are that an era OF
honesty In politics Is beginning. Now Is the time
permanencv. II we continue the present
low salaries We shall find good aud
honest men to accept positions for a short
time; but they Will gradually withdraw to secure
the greater remuneratlons or private business and
the offices will revert TO knaves or fools. But pub.
lie service Is rewarded as private citizens reward
labor In their behalf, we may make public Ofc0 as
1t should be, o legitimate ollcct Of ambition tOthe
best and ablcst men IN the community.

The Democratic State Convention VIII be held in
New Haven February 8.
The New York herald., 1871-12-29

Outside political circles Mr.. Tweed's Whereabouts
formed staple article or conversation yesterday.
Few business men with whom the HERALD reporter
conversed could bring themselves to believe that
ne had ned from New York. The general opinion
seemed to be- with Sheriff Brennan. that Tweed had
TOO much 10 lose and too little to gam BY leaving
New York 70 take such step. or course he could
hardly hope escape the ends Of justice by nying
from New York, and such action would ct once
stamp him as guilty Of the charges against him,
whatever his chances Of conviction might be.
There might be hitch; but the general opinion
was that ne had not ned.

A REMNANT OF SLAvERY.-It appears
to be still an open question out in the
Indian Territory whether the fourtee n II,
amendment applies as we'll to the red
man as to the white. The Creek Indians
still hold the negroes in bondage, al.
though the amendment alluded to was
supposed to have abolished slavery in
all the States aud Territories ot the
United States. The District Attorney OF
the Western District of Arkansas is ia u
quandary. and has written to Washing.
ton for instructions. Of course, the
Oonsiitution is the supreme law of the
land. but the difficulty is, that in our
treaty with the Indians. We have recog.
n'zed them as Distinct and separate ma
tions, with the right to manage their
domestic affairs in their own way. 70
get entirely rid of slavery, it may be-
come necessary, therefore, to abando
the traditional policy OF the Government
IN treating with Indians. So SAYS the
New York Posi-; but we believe that the
last session of Congress passed O law
forbidding the recognition by any treaty
OF Indians as distinct nationalities.
