The Fugitive Bullock.

a Washington letter says of Bullock
who recently fed in that direction:
Governor Bullock dosen't seem to be
meeting with any greater encourage
mcnt III the hands OF the Republicans
in New y DIRK than he did here. While
in conversation with Il distinguished
Republican Senator Of this city, a few
days since. he said he was about to re-
sign. in order to escape the prosecutions
OF his enemies. The reply made to him
was hat, ii he was innocent he would
hPvc nothing to fear. and especially with
the National Administration to back
him and to afford him both protection
and redress. BY fleeing from justice
Bullock has Disguised what few intluen-
tial friends he had here, and his conduct
since his abdication has convinced the
most skcptical that he is guilty of all
the charges preferred against him by the
Indignant people OF Georgia. Whatev-
or is done with Bullock. it may be safe
~ asserted that he will receive neither
aid nor comfort from this quarter.

A bill has been reported in the House

the Committee on Ways and Means. fix
ing the rate of taxation at 80 cents on

Indian Frauds.

y Washington date says: The new
frauds which the Interior Department
profess to have discovered in the pay
ment OF bountics to the Creek. Semi
mole, and Cherokee Indians, to the ex-
tent of quite half million of dollars,
took place when Secretary Harlan was
at the head OF that department, and the
present investigation simply confirms
the charges that were made in the Demo-
cratic newspapers to the same effect q
little more than year ago. Through
the manipulations of Harlan, the agent
who paid these bounties was intrusted
with large sums of money, whereupon
4 wholesale scheme of plumber was de-
cided upon. Bounties We're obtained
for men who were dead; for widows
who were never married to Indians,
soldiers, or anybody else, and to cover
the fraud the vouchers were stolen from
the Indian Bureau.

THE half has not been told. it would
appear, of the extent of the human suf-
torings resulting from those Western
forest fires. The Chicago Tribune, in
an appeal to the country and the chart
table world in behalf Of those sufferers,
says that 'probably fifty thousand per-
sons in Northern Wisconsin and MicEi-
gan alone have been stripped Of every
earthly possession by these fires" This
report from the ruins of Chicago is
surely entitled to respect.

Wrong.

The efforts of some of the papers to
make, if possible, little party capital
out of the subject of taxation are to be
deprecated. No narrow or selfish views
should be allowed to enter into the con-
sideration ofaqueston so largely affect
ing the present wants and future credit
of the State.

At a Republican meeting held recent
ly at Cooper Institute, New York. some
one attempted to insinuatc, by inucndo,
thai Gov. Seymour had been guilty OF
speculation upon the city government.
whcrcupon the New York ST." pays
Gov. Seymour the following high COM
plimCnt, and reads the insinuator a very
severe rcbuke: 1t says:
This was toul and gratuitous insult
to one of the foremost citizens OF this
State. No matter what partisan vir-
ulcncc may say. llOratio Seymour is .
man whose character. talents. and pub
lie career New York has reason to be
proud of. He has been much in the
public service; and in all his history
there is nothing TO justify or excuse
such an aspcrsion as this base fellow at
the Cooper Institute undertook to amuse
his comrades with. No shadow OF
pccuniary dishonesty was ever cast up
on Gov. Scymour'S hOnored name. lie

kind himself. nor encouraged ii in 9th

WHEN in the course of human events
men believe the good ofthc country and
a sense of public duty require that they
should abandon old political associa-
tons and join the other side, let them
move openly and firmly, squarely and
antly, with drums beating and colors
flying. There are only two parties in
the country to-day-Democratic and
Republcan-and we must act with the
one or the other of these. The attempt
to get up third organization for the
next Presidential election will prove a
delusion and snare, and will hopeless
ly injure every public man who identi-
iies himself with it.
