WASHINGTON, July Is.
Reports received at the Indian
Bureau state that the agent who was
dispatched to Mexico in order to in
duce the return of the Kickapoos
says those Indians are near Santa
Rosa, CohuaIl, aad mentions as a
singular fact that the Mexican COM
mission had arrived at that place but
one week in advance OF our agent
and his party, and had been issuing
cattle and corn to the Kickapos. The
Mexicans are anxious TO retain the
kickapoos. The object of our gov
eminent in inducing the return OF
these Indians and their location on
reservation is to break up their de.
predations on the Texas frontier, in
when they are encouraged by their
Mexican friends.
Gen. Parker to-day vacated his
office as Commissioners OF Indian AT.
fairs. The Clerks Bureau took for
NAL leave of him.

This money will not be- sent direct
to the money centers as heretofore.
A change is made 10 sending the in
terest direct to the bondholder that
meets with favor in the West. That
section OF the country has always
complained that New York has had
the excess of the floating capital,
owing to the government disburse-
ments being made there, and there
fore the rates of exchange were fixed
at the low rate in New York, while
in the Western States it was at the
high rate.
The liberal system of granting
furloughs which has heretofore pro-
vailed in the Treasury Department.,
particularly among the heads of
bureaus and other high officers, have
been curtailed. The Secretary issued
orders stating that no more than
thirty days absence in his depart
ment will be allowed in any fiscal
year under any circumstances what
ever, and that no appeal from this
decision will be considered.
Cases of attempts to smuggle
goods along the Canadian border are
becoming very frequent, and the reg
ulations are becoming more stringent
and enforced more rigidly by the
Treasury Department.
The returns to the Department of
Agriculture up to July LIST show an
acreage of sugar in greater quantity
than last year in South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana
and Texas, the increase ranging from
to Is per cent, while in Mississippi
the acreage is 2 per cent and in Mis-.
souri, % per cent less than last year.
All the States except Mississippi re-
port the crop in better condition than
last year.
The Indiana acreage of tobacco
shows AZ per cent increase over last
year Illinois 30 Pennsylvania % ;
Wisconsin 30; Connecticut SO, while
Kentucky reports Is per cent de-
crease, Virginia 5. and Tennessee z.
The other Southern States do not
vary much. The condition of crops
generally is below the average OK
cept in Connecticut, Alabama and
Texas.

The miners league have inaugura.
ted reign OF terror. The Amador
company found gangs of masked
men searching for officers of the diff:
ferent mining companies to murder
them. The officers OF tie Amador
company, with a force not belonging

termined to hold out. Hatch, book
keeper of the Amador mino, was as
sassinated by the league, but in turn
shot McEmmory, one of the leaders
of the league. The extent of the
trouble is unknown, as operators are
not allowed by the mob to commu

The Northeastern Christian Adro-
cate pitched into Newman and Har-
Ian on an erroneous and limited
knowledge of the facts. IL now
hedges back as follows;
1--WE learn the following state Of
facts: Efforts were being made to
impress tho Christian men and
Methodists of Iowa that Mr.. Harlan,
like too many other professors of
religion in Washington, had boom
fa,thless there, amid the great ones,
and the great temptations, to his
high calling. TO assure certain
Methodists that the Senator had sus-
tanned at Washington the same pure
character he bears at Mt. Pleasant,
was the object of DR.. Newman, His
pastor, wrote, and mono will question
the right or proprlety of his doing
so. If this be the head and front
of his offending, we have no word of
censure for DR.. Newman, There
was nothing of cehsure for such an
act in what we wrote. A trifle has
evidently been exaggerated into d.
mcnsions that arc now ridiculohs.-
Mr. Harlan IS entirely clear. Now
let the canvass 60 on. 1t is evident
the Legislature must be chosen on
this issue. Let the Harlan men see
that Harlan men ars put in nomina-
ton for the Legislature, and Allison
men see that Allison men ARE chosen.
Better I'LL be wide-awake and SO let
the State have it's real choice. She
might have a much worse Senator
than Mr.. Allison, and we all know
there arc few better than Mr.. Har.
lan,"
And, now. II Tho Northeastern
Christian Aduocate, will 60 right
along and attend to it's own little re
ligious business and keep its imper.
tiusnt snout out of our porridgo, it
will be conserving the cause of
Christianity and good breeding.
Meantime, in view of it's hasty raid
on Harlan ard equally perceptible
retreat, we would sffectionately
commend it to its evident prototype
in the person of the chap immortal
lied in the nursery rhyme to-wit;
"There was O man In our town.
And he was wondrous wise,
He jumped into a briar bushl
And scratched out both his eyes.
And when he fonnd his eyes were out,
With all his might and main,
He jumped into another bush
And scratched them in again."

PEELED to copy it as part OF the news
Of the day
10 the Editor of The Iribuae.-
SIR: in your issue OF this morning
you quote u statement from the
Even,ng POST that the Republican Con.
gressional Committee Is circulating
thousands of Senator Harlan's Santu
Domingo speech, which, it is aileg-
| ed, were furnished by Senator Har-
Ian. or some one Tor him" Tor that
purpose. The latter part OF this
statement is entirely gratltuous so
far as Mr.. Harlan was concerHed.-
He neither furnished, nor authorized
any enc else to furnish, copies OF that
speech to the Committee Tor clrcula.
ton. The fact is that Mr.. Harlan's
viudication of the President and the
Administration from the attacks OF
Senators Sumner and Schurz was
deemed so complete that the NOM
bers of Congress voluntarily sub.
scribed for $4,000 or 10000 copies OF
the speech, and it is probable that
these are the copies that the Commit
te3 are engaged in circulating. And
in doing so don't see that the Com.
deserves the censure that the Post
article implies, and which, by copy
ing, you indorse. When il is re
membered that Senator Harlan de
llvered that speech at the urpeot re-.
quest OF leading members of tho Sen
ate, who realized that Senators Nor
ton and Howe had failed in their at
tempts TO combat The positions OF
Sumner and Schurz, and that the
speech Itself Is confined to IA defense
OF the President from tho charge Of
the G mmlssIon of high crimes and
mlsdemeanors," which formed The
burden OF the speeches referred To.
there does not seem to be any great
'mpropriety ia the circulation of
Senator Harlan's speech by the Com
mittee. Tho hostility OF the Post TO
Senator Harlan can be accounted for.
That paper makes war upon every
Senator that does not swallow lis
Free-Trade notions. But that the
tribune, whie lighting tho Post on
many Of the issues IT is striving TO
force upon The Republican party,
should unite with it in depreciating
Senator Harlan's position and infiu-
,nce, as it has for months past, is un-
accountable. Yours, w. P. G..
