WHAT Is THE PLATFORM OF SOUTHERN
DEMOCRACY ?-Let the Baltimore Gazette
answer. Disdaining subterfuges or tenn
porizing devices, it proclaims, its creed :
1t is high principle, straightforward hon
esty, and answering consistency. 1t is
to bury the past, to accept the present,
and to trust the future, in the profound
faith that there is nothing so certain as
the unforeseen, and that, in the thousand
chances and changes Of life, there is al
ways something in store for those who
pursue high purpose with a strong will.
We want no platform but an honest
leader and manly principle. We accept
negro voting, under protest, aud wait
for time to pass its verdict upon it. We
have turned over to the Republicans the
rotten plank of annexation, which will
one day be as fatal to the country as it
proved to the South. We are opposed
to military despotsm, to the interference
of Federal authority at the polls, to the
consolidation OF power, to the distri bu
ton Of the public lands among party
plunderers, to the squandering of the
public funds, to high tariffs, to corrupt
legislation and to knavary and corrup-
ton Of every kind, in whatever shape
they may raise the hydra heads. This,
surely, is platform enough. Our great
strength lies in an united front. Let us
attack solidly, and when we have routed
the enemy, it will be time enough to pre-
yare means for maintaining our posi-
ton. F"

The Atlantic and Pacific Railroad.

The st Louis Republican of the 18th,
says: Mr.. Andrew Pierce, DR., fnanag-
ing director of the Atlantic and Pacific
railroad, returned from Neosho yester-
day, where he has been spending a week
in looking after the interests of the road.
Passenger trains commenced running
on Monday last to seneca, young and
growing town in Newton county, on the
border of the Indian territory, $50 miles
southwest of ST. Louis. The company
commenced laying track in the Indian
territory last Friday, and it is contempla-
ted to have the road opened across the
Grand river by the first of July, reaching
the next fifty-nine point from Pierce City,
which will be about three miles beyond
Grand river. A force is already employ
ed in grading the track beyond that river.
The Grand river is to be spanned by a
bridge 600 feet long near Carter's ferry,
Just below the forks of the Neosho and
Spring rivers, which takes the name of
Grand river below the junction of the
above named two streams. The bridge
will be nine miles from the State line,
and work on the first pier will be COM
menced to-day, Mr.. Pearce has had con-
structed six fiat boats for the purpose of
transporting stone for the masonry work,
from the fine quarries on the banks ofthe
Neosho, few miles above the site of the
projected bridge.
The company have a surveying party
in the field engaged in locating the track
tawards the Pacific coast and it is ex
pected that the survey will he completed
to Albuquerque, in New Mexico, by the
1st day of June. Another surveying
party is at work running branch line to
connect with the Atlantic and Pacific,
from Fort Smith, which will strike the
Canadian river about 800 miles west of

How THE INDIANS ARE PLuNprRrp.-

now TIKI 1NDAAhS AXE TLUNDEkED.-
From the report Of the House of Con-
gress Committee on Appropriations, that
was charged to make an investigation in
to Indians affairs, VIC learn how public
officials assist in swindling the Indians.
BY an act Of July Is, 1870, some 100000
were appropriated for the Quapaw Ind
ians, and clerk OF the Interior Depart
ment was dispatched to make the distr
button per capita. AT the distribution
came the comorants, who claimed their
share the store keeper and the attorney
who lobbied the opriation through
Congress, the latter getting his share 33
1-3 per cent. The Attorney-General is
one James o Blunt, who seems to have
feathered his nest pretty well off the Ind
ians. Judge fer yourself. Out OF $685..
900 appropriated to the Chickasaws,
Blunt received S62, 800; and out Of 1884,
900 appropriated to the Choctaws, he re.
ceived S33, 900; and out of the 100000
to the Quapaws, he got $50, 900. making
Sl26,100 out Of these tribes. The edge
Of his appetite, instead OF becoming blunt
by such excessive bites of Indian appro
priations. grew with what it fed on, and
the Committee report that there is no
law for the punishment Of such voracity.
Blunt is one Of the loyal, who was fierce
with wrath against using the sweat and
toll of the negro without compensation.
He has, however, no scruples about plum
dering the Indian, who, he considers, is
outside any healthy political organiza-
tion, and, therefore, open to different
treatment from that awarded to the ne
gro. And his loyalty gives him the op.
portunity to pursue his system of educa
ting and humanizing the Indians, without
any unpleasant backs set --Cia Enquirer.
