tons of change in the present laws Of

notifications were made by Congress
this Convention would advise, as basis,
a relative proportion Of changes on the
scale of distances, and that the law
should prevent evasion Of postage on
newspapers by using the express car
riage. The debate was long and the

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, February 23.-
Lieut.. Governor Cumback expresses the
opinion that it takes two-thirds of all
the members Of each branch to con-

GOOD TESTIMONY.

We publish in another column OF this
paper, an article from the New York
Evening Post, which gives the conclu-
sions OF thst sheet on the doings Of the
Ku Klux, based upon letters from the
South by . careful correspondent. The
Post is one Of the most conservative,
candid and able papers in the country,
and was bitterly opposed to the passage
OF the Ku Klux bill at the last session
Of Congress. The Post is convinced
that in nearly all Of the Southern States
there exist secret armed organizations
strong enough In numbers and influence
to control public sentiment, defy local
courts and intimidate executive off,
GERS; that their work is accomplished
in the night in disguise, and their vic
tims are always negroes or white Re-
publicsns; that public sentiment sus-
tains it either openly or in silence
that the Southern leaders continue to
hope for the disfranchisement of the
negroes, for the payment Of the rebel
war debt, and compensation for the
slaves emaneipsted that the Ku Klux
organization intends to control the next
election; that their present inactivity
Is merely temporary, and violence will
be resumed whom . political object is
70 be obtained by it. We ask ell can
did men to read the article and sec
what paper Of the present position OF
the New York Evening Post says OF
Southern affairs. The Democrats will
not try to impeach this witness.

Senator Pomeroy spoke to the settlers
on the Black Bob Reserve on Saturday
last. A dispatch says large crowd
greeted him. He spoke at length on
Indian lands in general, and the Black
Bob lands in particular, and promised
to use his best efforts to close the mat
ter next session in the interest of the
settlers, who were highly pleased with
the Senator'S remarks. We hope some.
thing will be done to relieve these much
neglected, much abused, and long-suf.
fering people. The way they have
been treated is an outrage on them and
our Republican institutions. If oul

That the doctrine OF incidental pro
lection to American industry, 80 long
ss heavy tariff for revenue Is necessa-
~, at least, 10 to be sustained and up
held 90 Q prominent plank in the Re-
publican platform, is evident from the
declarations Of several State conven-
tons, that have been held. Illinois,
Ohio, California, Iowa aud Wisconsin,
have hitherto spoken. New York de-
clares In favor OF such tariff % will
furnish the needed revenue, with the
least injury to the people, and at the
same time give protection to our own
manufactures. The Republicans of
Virginis pledge themselves to support
tariff which, while securing the nee
esssry revenue, shall give incidental
protection to American industry. Mas
Sachusetts gives her adherence to the
same doctrine. While protection is
one Of the principles Of the Republican
party, it is not necessarily supported
by all Its members.

the greater part of the way between

area of four or five miles, and about the
same distance between Antwerp and
Cecil, burning down timber, both green

destroyed and the steam mill was only
saved by breaking several burrows of

The probable loss is about flfty or sixty
thousand dollars. The smoke is so

very difficult. The fire is still raging.
