treatment Mr. Sumner received then, and that
said to have been threatened by the president
and Gen, Babcock, and inquiries why such
'fuss" was made over the Brooks assault, and
so little indignation is manifested now at the
reported language of the president and his pri-
vate secretary. The difference is, that in the
first place there is no evidence, except the test.
mony of an anonymous, scandal-hunting re-
porter that either the president OF his secretary
used the language attributed to them. That
said TO have been used by the
president, moreover, does not necessarily
bear any improper meaning. If General
Babcock did talk as foolishly as is represented,
his conduct has the same resemblance to that of
Brooks, that exists between ruffian who has
actually committed murderous assault, and
hot-headed young man who knows 10 better
way to convince his hearers that he is very angry
than by assuring them that under certain cir
cumstances he would pull somebody's nose.
For the former no deuuncation can be too Sc
vere the latter may deserve some punishment
from his official superiors, but from the public
ridicule is more appropriate than indignation.

Letter from Washington.
IFRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE
WAsnINeroN, D. G. Jan. 4. 1871.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. L. 1871.
THE PROPOSED INDIAN FEDERATION.
The experiment about TO be tried, let us hope
untrammelled on the part of congress, in the
Indian territory, has already been made familiar
to your readers by T. Els admirably clear and
lucid letters, written during his inspection Of
the Quaker agencies. | need no better introduce
ton to some points l shall present from this
standpoint than those letters.
Commissioner Parker, whom met to-day for
the first time since his return home, gives an
interesting account of his experiences there
He was with the council for several days, and,
though in no way meddling with the discus
sions, he was necessarily consulted by the COM
mittee appointed to draft a constitution, and by
others OF the leading minds. He speaks in the
most hopeful terms of the ability and earnest
ness displayed and thinks that harmonious ac-
ton will follow. The chief difficulty lies with
the character of the constitution, which, in effect
and fact will, if fully carried out, do these two
things: 1st organize federal republic of In
dian tribes, preserving that form to each body,
and maintaining the communal ownership of
the land. ID, put into operation the machinery
of fully equipped state, with its governor, sec.
rotary of state, treasurer auditor, supreme and
district courts, and legislature of two chan.
bers.
Il is quite possible that this latter result goes
little beyond the purpose of the treaty of 1865,
under which this grand council was called. 1t
is considered by some that it was designed to
unite the Indians under some general form, so
as TO secure representation in a legislative body,
and then for congress to pass an organic act pro-
yiding for a territorial government, the exeeu-
tive and Judiciary of which should be appointed
as in all such organizations is the case. Com
missioner Parker deemed it his duty to suggest
to various members of the council that there
might be some difficulty in getting congress to
allow so strong policy as this proposes But
the Indian statesmen (lnd do they not deserve
the title9 hold that they must be allowed to
work out for themselves the problem involved
That problem is how to preserve their people
from that spoliation which is sure to ensue by
too speedy abandonment of their tribal charsc-
ter, especially so by their doing away with the
common ownership of the land. Should con-
gress approve of the work of the council, land
after its ratification by the several nations do
not see how approval can be withheld in JUS
tice), one of the most inter, stng experiments
ever inauguratcd in this or any other country,
will be fairly underway.

Reported for The Spy.l
At the annual meeting of the New England
shoe and leather dealers association in Boston,
Jan. 4, the annual report OF the secretary T. p
Pond of Boston, comprised an interesting state
ment of the trade in Massachusetts during the
last ten years, and its magnitude at the present
time, when, according to the report of the com
missioner of internal revenue, the total value
Of the boots and shoes manufactured in 1869,
was S246, 252 900, and according to the census of
1860, sixty per cent of all the boots and shoes
manufactured in the United States were made
in New England. The hide and leather and
boot and shoe business Of New England, the re-
port stated, did not now fail short of s2OOOOO,-
900 per annum.
The report of the committee of the bureau of
credits stated that there were entered upon the
books of the association the names of firms and
individuals 10 the number of 1863; rated and
not entered, nc; inquiries and answers entered,
1876; failures reported, seventy eight, of which
thirty-seYen hal been rated and reported at the
office; number of subscribers at the present
time 1913; subscriptions to the bureau, SS167 so.
VIM. b. Spooner of Boston was reelected
president of the association for the year ensuing,
and among the vice presidents are Gov. Cafln,
Hon. A. Z. Mayhem of Milford, and J. Henry
Walker of Worcester; among the directors, L..
W. Prouty of Spencer and Samuel Walker of
Milford.
The president, in his address, spoke of the
subject Of cheap and prompt transportation as
one of the first importance to all business in
New England, and as urgently demanding at
tention and action on the part of the different
railroad corporations. He expressed the con-
Viction that the present facilities are not now
such as are needed. He said there was no one
measure so well calculated TO promote the
material interest of Massachusetts,, as a railroad
running up to the New York line, owned and
managed exclusively by the state, on the princl-
Pile of doing the largest possible amount of bust
ness for the lowest possible paying rates.

ROMANCE OF THE PBERAGE.-A French
writer, in spea king of the origin of the great
families Of his own country, says: There is not
a single noble family in France, a single ia mily
of antique origin, which does not owe its for
tune to women. lou understand me; what we
call a virtuous woman, a good mother; what
we attach so much value to, a treasure for MS,
would be the ruin of a courtier;" and "that in
order to have plumber, it is necessary TO have
offices, which are only obtained through the in
tuenccs of woman. In short, as there is not,
never has BEEN and never will be- any other
means of success for us plebeans than our i'll
dustry, for the nobility there is also but one
and that prostitution-since it is necessary,
my friends, to call it bv its right NAME"
This reproach is not of such universal applca-
ton 10 England, and yet a good many of its
ancient peerages originated in that impure
source, or in a species of tavortism. Favortism
gave to the families of Villiers and the duke of
Buckingham the honor of the peerage and from
the favor of women with the sovereign pro-
ceeded the elevation TO the peerage of Hamilton,
earl Of Orkney, for instance; his wife was mis-
tress to William ILL.,, and she also made her
brother, Sir Edward Villers, earl of Jersey;
that of Hobart, earl of Buckinghamshire made
his sister, Lady Suffolk, mistress of George II.
And the older the peerages are the more and
more impure they would seem to be. Beginning
with James l., it is well known that all the
peerages of his reign were granted either to
Yenality or tavoritism. The infamous mother
of Villiers, duke Of Buckingham took money
peerages, as well as for every kind of court
favor; and they were even forced upon wealthy
persons for the sake of their cash Richard
Robartes had to pay $4,000 for peerage under
such circumstances. The honor Of barOnet was
only instituted for the purpose of being sold,
and so low were hOnors sunk that that of knight
hood was compulsorily inflicted on every gem
tleman possessing a certain property, unless he
preferred paying fine to be excused. During
the reign of Charles H., regular tariff was
established of sums to be paid for the different
degrees Of peerage.
The origin of Scotch peerages is wrapt in OBJ
security, but they were created in corruption,
iavoriijm, or prostitution; aud the only period
in which peerageS have been given either for
merit, services, station in the country, or an.
cient family, is during the modern reign of
George III. Even during that reign the peer
age was sadly lavished. Next to the illegiti-
mate descents are the peeragcs originating in
trade or very low beginnings. These are very
numerous, and embrace advertisements Of
names. In short, the British peerage has less of
the boast of ancestry TO be proud of than any
of the other orders of nobility Of civilized
Europe. Its peerage is essentially plebeian in
its origin and alliances.
