ABOLITION OF SLAVERY IN BRAzIL.-From
late files of the Brazilian journals are gather
ed the following facts concerning the recent
Legislative action in Brazil on this important
subject
One of the bills, which met with the
greatest opposition, appropriated eight mil
lions of dollars to be used to free about a
million and half Of slaves. The ground of
opposition was the fact that this sum of
money was too small-One of the senator's
saying that by this bill only ten thousand
slaves per annum could be freed.
The bill finally passedappropriates a much
larger sum, while the pay for each slave IS
put at a very low figure.
By the plan adopted emancipation will be
gradual. Only the children born after the
passage of the act, on the 9th of last month
are to be at once liberated.

A letter from Granville Stuart, published

a letter from Granville Stuart, published
in the st. Louis Republican, gives an inter
esting account of the condition of the eight
Indian tribes in the Rocky Mountain region
All Of these have declined in numbers and in
character. The Shoshonees have a reserva-
ton in Wind River valley, and depend on
the Indian Department for a living. They
are contentedly learning to farm. The Snakes
and Bannacks are on two reservations IN
Montana. They have sixty-ive acres under
cultivation. The Flatheads and Pend Drill
les are partially civilized and have farms of
their own. The Nez Perces are quiet and
well-disposed, and stay on their reservation.
The Crows are in the Yellowstone valley,
and have one hundred and twelve acres I'M
der cultivation. The Blackfeet and Piegans
| hunt along the Teton river. The Indians of
Montana are more contented than heretofore.
MIR. Stuart thinks that the Indians have
suffered great injustice and cruelty, and that
in very short time they will be extinct.

The Chicago Tri5une has these words G

The Chicago Tribune has these words of
wisdom in one Of its if3ues since the fire
Mere partisanship is as much out of place
amid the smoking ruins OfChicago as revelry
in a church. The people Of this stricken
city want to hear nothing now of parties,
nor party nominations, nor caucuses, nor
conventions. Republicanism and Democracy
have become lost IN the nearer relation Of
union for the common defense, union for the
support of the suffering poor, and union for
the rapid restoration Of Chicago. We are
citizens Of Chicago, having no other platform
than the common good, and recognizing that
the time has come for the retirement of all
mere partisans from municipal Office, and the
commitment Of the work of restoration to
men having the confidence of the people, and
who are deeply interested in the material
welfare Of the city.
That doctrine is sound on every side. The
only weak point about it, is in making it
applicable only to Chicago in luins. Any
party that has any other platform than the
common good, whether that party be Repub-
lican or Democratic, ought to be retired,
whether a great fire has made that retire
ment necessary or not. Mere partisanship
ought always u be out Of place. 1t is at
best, onlya strife for the spoiIs The - com
mon good, is an object worthy the exertion
of any party organization, while mere party
success, and the distribution of the govern
ment Offices, are not only most unworthy
objects of pursuit, but seriously dangerous to
the existence Of good government. If the
Chicago fire could teach the .Iesson the IT J.
hume enforces, TO the whole country, and not
alone to its own city, the hundreds Of mil
lions of property burned would not have
been turned to ashes proftlessly.

Indian affairs in the West are getting into
decidedly mixed condition, and General
Francis A. Walker of the census bureau he's
been sent out to look the matter up. The
frontier people are not al satisfied with the
management of Vincent Collyer, and are
making serious complaints against him. They
want a more vigorous policy, well, some
thing like determination, for instance.
The State Committee of the Labor Re-

gains in the local elections. The leaders o.
the two Republican factions are Senator

Brooks advocates amnesty and a reform of tn
State government, while Clayton's platform
seems to be the distribution of federal pat
ronage to his friends.

Chicago Tribune pays Mr.. NJ. the compliment
of abiding TO him as - one of the most IN

The PENsIoN BUREAU INTERESTING STATS
rIcs-The following facts in relation to the
pension system have been compiled from data
prepared for the report of the Commissioner
Of Pensions
The aggregate annual amount of pensions
Of widows and dependent relatives upon the
roll, June 80, 1871. was less than on the
Both of June 1870. This was owing to the
lessening of individual pensions by minors
reaching the age of 10 years. There were
81 .623 Revolutionary soldiers pensioned for
services. L .30S soldiers of the Mexican war,
and 1913. 79l soldiers of the war of the Rebel
lion ptnsioned as Invalids. 1t is thought that
the annual expenditures for pensions for
other than the latter class have nearly reach
cd their maximum, and that during the next
ten years they will gradually and materially
decrease.
The following is a correct statement, com
piled with great care in the Pension Office,
OF the total number of soldiers serving in the
various wars, &c. in which the nation has
engaged since l775 1t viii appear in the
forthcoming report OF the Commissioner Of

1t is thought that the whole number of
slaves in the empire will not exceed million
and half. The majority ofthese are in the
southern part of the country. The sugar in
terest will not suffer from the change. 1t is
doubtful about the results in the coffee re-
gions, where the slaves are more numerous.
AS the Emperor favors emancipation, the
passage of the bill by the legislative branch
of the government practically delivers Brazil
from the evils of slavery.
