From Washington.

L.
WASHINGTON, d. C., Aug. 1S.-Secretary
Boutwell, has authorized the assistant treasury
to advance the payment of the September in
terest, without rebate, on Tuesday next.
The following circular was issued to-day from
the treasury department, office of the comptroller
OF the currency: "All exchanges of bonds held
as security for the circulation of national banks
for other bonds of the United States, except for
the new five per cent bonds now being issued,
will be suspended from this date until further
notice"
INDIAN NEWS.
Col. Stanley, 22d infantry, commanding the
middle district OF Dakota, writes from Fort Suly,
July 80, an official letter upon the numbers and
disposition Of various hostile tribes of Indians
in the interior of that territory. Having given
the names of the principal chiefs and the number
of their followers, Col. Stanley continues {;
'Since came to this country the buffaloes have
constantly moved westward, and these Indians
have followed them, and several times | have
heard from the Indians that they intended to go
wherever the buffalo went
do not think it possible to induce these In
dams to rejoin their own bands. Placing them
upon the same footing as the Assinaboines, as re-
CARDS annuities, might pacify them, as it has in
a manner Red Cloud and the Ogallallas. The
military could control them only by a new mill
tary post somewhere about Milk river; meas.
ure should hesitate to recommend with the
small number Of troops disposable in the de-
partment.
When the Northern Pacific railroad crosses
the Missouri, the entire Sioux question will be
brought to head, and in my opinion, will only
be solved by an Indian war of some magnitude.
Until that time would suggest that conciliatory
measures be taken with the Indians that are the
subject Of this paper"
A VETERAN.
The commissioner Of pensions to-day signed a
renewal of the Mexican war pension to James
Walkner, which, in September, 1861, at the age
of 65, he forfeited to enlist as private in COM
pany G, first Pennsylvania volunteers. He was
undoubtedly the oldest enlisted private that
served in the late war. After serving fifteen
months he was honorably discharged, on ac-
count of disabilities arising from severe wound
received in the Mexican war, twenty-five years
before. The renewal of his pension dates from
Dec. 81, 1862, when he was discharged. Its
amount, however, is only two dollar month";
and the veteran is now, and has been for some
time, in the Blackley almshouse, Philadelphia.
PENSIONS.
The pension bureau to-day issued two hun
dred and twenty certificates for pensions, the
largest number ever issued in one day. The
number is made up as follows: Invalids, 81 !;
widows, 81; war of 1872, %.

New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-04-20
BENEFITS OF DISCIPLINE.

Republication in New York is purify
ing itself under the impulse of the new
State central committee. The lines were
not sufficiently well drawn before, and'a
large number of Republicans were al
lowed to hold Office under appointments
from the Tammany Democracy. This
rendered them lukewarm on election days,
and the city of New York has been al
lo1ed to go Democratic by such over
whelming majorities that the honest vote
of the county, which has always been Re-
publican, would not overcome them. The
new central committee adopted the plan
of refusing to allow any Republican who
held an appointment under Tweed to be
placed in nomination for Office on the Re-
publican ticket. The effect has been
very signal in creating liveIer interest
in our own party, while it has taught
these middle men that if they hope to
succeed hereafter they must quit their
Democratic affiliations. Not only has this
policy been beneficial in the city of New
York, but it has had an immense effect
in the Legislature at Albany, where
Tammany managed to carry through
many Of its most rascally measures by
corrupting certain weak Republicans.
This game is now blocked, for the Re-
publicans held caucus on Saturday last,
at which it was resolved that their votes
should be cast as unit against Tweed's
contemplated impositions on New York,
and that any Republican who bolted the
Of the caucus should at once be
read out of the party. This defeats sew
eral rascally schemes, and saves the city
of New York from being plundered to the
extent of millions for the purpose of
carrying the next presidential election.
Weed and his followers are amazed and
dismayed at this new development, for
since its proclamation he has tried in
vain to rally a single Republican to vote
for his measures; and, as the Legislature
is tied between the two parties, Tammany
is likely to go home empty-handed. A
little management is good thing, and
strict party lines are saving dispense
tons.

ON CAR0NDELET STREET,

The most valuable and important inter-
ests ever controlled by a single corpora-
ton in this State are those of the CAL
casieu Sulphur and Mining Company.
The value Of the sulphur deposits are cal
culated by millions of dollars, and the
intelligent secretary and treasurer of the
company has estimated the value of each
share of the stock at fifteen hundred dol
lars as soon as the sulphur is brought to
the surface
The assessments on the ordinary stock,
which are comparatively light, pay all
the current expenses of the company, in
Guiding salaries of its officers, which are
sufficiently large to induce them to de-
vote all their time to the interests of the
company.
We have advocated the right Of the five
thousand shares of ordinary stock to rep
resentation in the board of directors, not
because of any dissatisfaction with the
acts of the present board, but because,
under the charter, they have right to be
represented.
By article eight of the charter it is pro-
vided that when the ordinary stock is all
subscribed three may be added to the
number of directors. If this provision
should not be- conformed to, the holders
of this five thousand shares of stock will
continue to be liable to taxation without
representation, and they will have no
remedy against frequent assessments that
may be made by the directors representing
the full paid and preferred stock.
Since every dollar of the working funds
of the treasury is derived from assess
ments on the ordinary stock, it is not un-
reasonable that the holders of this stock
should be'represented on the board. A
meeting of the stockholders would GER
tainly bring about this result.
We might add that the duty of salaried
officers does not consist in depreciating
the stock to point below the amount of
actual paid assessments, but rather, in
representing all the facts connected with
the value of the mines, the resources of
the company and the ultimate value of
the stock, which is of arithmetical calcu-
latiQn. To advise holders to sell stock
at eight dollars on which ten dollars has
been paid, in order that an officer Of the
company or his friends may buy it on
speculation, is not exactly what the Of
ficer gets his six thousand dollars : year
for.
We repeat that 10 sineIs corposaaion II
