Thus we find that Grant is now being
kicked over board by his own party
which has tried him and found him
wanting 10 every essential quality of
statesman. We suppose that after the
Republican party have nominated some
one else for the Presidency, Grant will
charge it with ingratitude aud begin to
act with little more honesty than he
is now doing. He had better begin to
do right at once.

Details of the Late Indian Raid.

Superintendent Wall has presented the
Indian Bureau details Of tn Indian raid on
the 10Th Of July, the fact Of which he
announced by telegraph some days ago.
He says the telegraph statement of the loss
OF property is exaggerated, but he is sorry
to say that two men were killed, us report.
ed. The number OF h horses stolen will not
exceed forty. The men killed were named
Nisare and Shepard, and it is worthy of
mention that they were not scalped, which
goes to show that this party OF Indians was
stealing party, and not a regular war
party, as Indians on the war path always
scalp their victims.
1t is generally believed that it was a
party of Sioux on stealing expedition.
Col. Boalen, Commanding Fort Ellis, is
quite positive that il was band of Sioux
belonging to the Jelou tribe, under Chief
Sitting Bull. The main camp is between
Fort Peck and the Yellowstone river, aud
they range over that country, extending us
far as the Musselshell river on the East,
and often wander as far North as the Milk
river country. Superintendent Wall again
calls the attention Of the Department to
the necessity Of feeding these Indians, aud
says 1t is 10Y firm belief, from the salts.
factory result Of feeding the Santee
Sioux at Milk river, that these Indians
Under Sitting Bull can be managed, and
much good would be the result, and it
would be a great saving to the Govern
ment in the end.

Negro 0utrages in Georgia.

We published, on Wednesday last, full
account of the outrageous conduct OF tho
negro excursiouists on the steamer San
Antonia during her lasi trip between Jack
sonvile and Savannah. On that occasion
n large number Of lawless. ignorant aud
blood thirsty wretches who were permitted
to make an excursion from Darieu 10 Fer
nandina, assaulted the captain Of the steam
er, and with knives, razors and other muir
derous weapons threatened HIM, his officers
and the white passengers Of the boat, com
pelling them to comply with their den ands.
After leaving Darien the mate found 1t
necessary to use harsh measures towards
colored deck hand named Doboy, who, in
imitation of the example just set him by
the excursionists, was very insubordinate.
he was afterwards secured by the orders of
Captain Lee until the boat arrived in Sayan.
nah, when his case was brought before
United States Commissioner Henry c.
Wayne, and in conseq ience of the mate,
Mr.. Henry, having struck Doboy, he was
discharged.
Doboy then took out . warrant before the
same Commissioner, against the mate,
charging him with assault and battery upon
the high seas. He was ready with the
necessary bondsmen on Saturday TO have
an examination of the case, and remained
in the city because, as we learn, he had
been advised TO do so. Threats upon his
life were made should he return on the
boat to Darlen. The San Atomic is the
regular mail carrier, running in the place
of the Lizzie Baker, the consort OF the
Nick King. The Captain, fearing trouble
on his return, called upon the Post office
authorities TO furnish him the necessary
protection TO convey the mails without
molestation. No attention was paid to
these solicitations by any Of the authorities,
and the steamer left on Friday for her regu.
lar trip.
We learn that large crowd of excited
negroes had gathered on the wharf a. Dar.

EARL RUSSELL AND THE WASHING
TON TREATY--It has been announced
that the government Of Great Britain
has appointed Earl Russell to represent
that country at Geneva as British arbi-
traitor on the Alabama claims, in accor.
dance with the provisions of the treaty
Of Washington, aud that Sir Roundcll
Palmer, the great constitutional lawyer,

There is trouble in the Post Office
Department. Postmaster General Cres.
well appointed an ex-Coniederate to a
clerkship, an act which the other clreks
are freely discussing. One proposes to
organize, and not only clean out the
Postmaster General, but all who may
propose to sustain him, be they high or
low. Another says Mr. Cresswell has
prostituted the confidence of the people
by placing this man 10 position, aud
says it is an insult not ouly to brave
Union soldiers, but also to all who love
the right. Yet another individual takes
occasion to arraign the departments
generally as being filled with Demo
Gratis" aud "coppcrheads," to the ex.
clusion OF Union men aud Republicans,
aud even so loyal and Radical au officer
as Secretary Delano is charged with
harboring Democrats aud copperheads
in his office. Meantime Mr.. Roxbury,
about whom all this fuss started, has
his say in the matter, aud he asks "if
the Republican party expects to main
tain foothold in the South while hold.
ing the rule that NJ person who was in
the Confederate service shall have office.
He says further tha. he has 'long since
renounced his Confederate principles
and attached himself to the Union prin-
ciples OF the Republican party" aud he
wants TO know "if such men are to re.
main forever under ban 7" 1t remains
to be seen whether Mr.. Cresswell will
stick to the "rebel," or back down to
the Grand Army of the Republic. 1t
is nice family quarrel us it stands.

African Colonization.

Wevere gral6ed to see it announced,
last week, that two thousand colored
people were now applicants. at the Office
Of the Colonization Society, for trans
portation to Liberia. Many intelligent
negroes are awaking to consciousness
that their admittance to the rights aud
franchises Of citizenship, here, is all a
delusion and cheat. True, they can
vote, they can ride 10 our rail cars, and
gain admittance to our hotels, theatres,
&C., under recent Congressional enact.
msuts, but they are still subject to the
law Of caste, and must forever remain
SO, notwithstanding all the levelling
anactmenis which Congress may be able
to pass. Even the men who vote for
these enactments to confer upon the
race the largest liberty, are unwilling
TO accord to the negro social equality.
They will not put the negro in their
beds, nor seat them at their boards.
Their recognition Of the negro is civil,
and political, aud hath "this extent, no
more" The negro is not slow to see
and comprehend this fact. He sees,
that If he remains here, he must con
sent to 6e subordinate, and must for.
ever remain socially ostracised, as far
as the white race is concerned hence
large numbers Of them are manifesting
desire to go to Africa, the home Of
their ancestors, where alone they can
enjoy the largest liberty, and where, by
nature, they are best adapted to live.
The Spontaneous products Of the earth
renders the toll necessary to existence
comparatively light. If he aspires to
public preferment, the way is open be.
fore him; if he is industrious and frugal,
he eau acquire houses aud lands; plant
coffee, grow sugar, aud add acre to acre,
farm to farm, while many wholesome
articles of food spring spontaneously
from the bounty Of nuture, without the
aid Of his labor, and this, after all, is
what tho African most desires, to live
well, and at the same time, to live free
from toll and care. In Africa, If any
where, he may do this; certainly be can
do it, to much greater extent, than he
can here And there no white man is
his way, to compete with him in labor.
or in any manner to interfere. There
he will find only :hs people of his own
race. There let him go, and there let
us aid him to Co. To set out of this
country, as fast as they can, We think
is the part Of wisdom. It is better for
The black man, and infinitely better for
yhite. There is an antagonism between
the races which never will be and which
never can be overcome. The sooner
thcy are separated, the better il will be
for both. This is no partizan view Of
the subject, but one in the interests Of
peace, order, humanity, aud religion.
How shall Ethiopia astretch forth her
hands unto God, unless the Africans
from this country carry the light Of
civilization and ehristianity to the be-
nighted in their father-land, where the
white man cannot live. But We can.
not enlarge, today, upon this latter
view Of the subject. The best friends
Of the negro will persuade him and aid
him 70 iorsake his long exile in Amer.

should live, the land which alone he can |
