Gov. Smith has responded to note adj
dressed to him by Messrs. D. G. DeJarnette,
G. F: Suttle J. V. Brooke, F. McMullin, h.
W. Thomas, C.. F. Sinclair, and j. II.
Stringfellow, in long and able letter, which is
published in the Warrentou Index. He was
requested to give his views upon such reforms
as will, in his opinion, tend to relieve from
the present oppressive taxation under which
the people are now suffering, and whether, in
his opinion, the same can be effected without a
change in the organic law of the State; and ne
does this in detail His letter elaborates and
enlarges upon the propositions he made in his
resolutions, which We lately published and
which were adopted by the Conservative meet
ing in Fauquier. These resolutions embodied his
proposals for reform in several important par
ticulars. In the general scope and design OF
Gov. Smiths letter and resolutions we fully
concur; and his suggestions are excellent. We
hope they will attract the attention and secure
the support of the people of the State We
will take occasion to make, hereafter, some ex'
tracts from Gov. Smith letter.

REPORTED INDIAN LAND ERAUDS.-Inc
New York Times publishes from its Washing
ton correspondent al astounding exposure just
brought to light by IN investigation under au-
thority of the Interior Department, Of gross
frauds and irregularities in the issue of Chippe-
WA land scrip, under the treaty Of 1854, by
which bounty Of eighty acres of land was
granted to the half-breeds Of the "Chippewas
of Lake Superior who were heads of families.
or males Of 81 years and upwards. Several
hundred alleged fraudulent applications were
granted and scrip issued thereon. The amount
of land involved is said to be sixty thousand
acres, valued at upward of $lS0,0OO. The
commissioners who made the investi cation and
now make the report assert that they have
abundant evidence of the completely Of ex
Commissioner Dole in this improper issue Of
this scrip. J.. f. Webb ex-Indian Agent ;
Franklin Steel, of Georgetown. d. c.: n. W.
Kittson, Isaac Van Etten, and severa! other
citizens of St. Paul, are also said to be impl-
Gated.
IRoN-cLAD CANALS.-Iron clad canals are
novel idea, yet, it seems a practicable one.
a suggestion has recently been submitted to the
Commission lately appointed in New York, to
foster and develop the internal commerce of
the State, which proposes to clothe the sides
Of the banks of canals with, say, one-eighth OF
an inch Sheet-ron, securely fastened and sus-
pended euui-distant above and below the wa
ter iue thus preventing all damage. The iu-
yeutor of this plan, ! Mr. Lawrence Myers,
further claims that, by such action, the entire
canal property of the country can be brought
into active and competing operation with rail
roads, as fast running steam propcllorS Will be
introduced and substituted for the slow and
expensive mule power. The tonnage, too, he
claims will be increased at least three times,
There seems to be no reason why this idea
should not prove practicable; It's great cost Is
the most serious drawback.
