VOLUME ] "a.


We print elsewhere an article from
the Washington Chronicle, which will
we'll repay perusal.
1t will b. remembered that about
one year ago James Harlan was q
q candidate for reelection to an Office
which hc had filled with most.pro-em-
inent ability and satisfaction to his
constituents. About that time to en-
compass his defeat, certain Of the SUI
perserviceable friends of his principal
opponent revamped and put into cir
culation all the ISLANDERS that had been
uttered against him by the malvalent
Democratic press for the last fifteen
years.
At that time one Wright who had
been acting as agent and attorney for
the collection of certain Indian PEN
sions, while Mr.. Harlan was Secretary
of the Interior, was under a cloud ON
account Of the vindictive persecution
Of some Of the Warrington blackmail-
ers, and it was even charged then that
Mr.. Harlan was party with him In
robbing the poor Indian.
These charges have been thoroughly
investigated and utterly ..refhted and
disproved before Judge Lawrence, Of
Ohio, one Of the ablest and best men
in the Nation, Of which the testimony
Of the Capital Democratic organ at
Washington bears testimony.

ruin man whom the Administration
did not love was SO well concocted as
to be sure of success.
1t was unfortunate for the Admins
trati0n In this adventure, first, that
Judge Wright being the authorized
agent of individual Indians, the gov
ernmcnt was not in such relation to
the latter as to be entitled to prosecute
in their behalf; second, that the In
dians had never complained or asked
the Intervention Of the Government !;
third, that the Government, although
1t appointed special agent for the
purpose, and spent a large sum OF
money in the pursuit, failed to find
any proof whatever of its allegations |;
and fourth, that Judge Wright was
prepared, in every case, with evidence
to show their falsity. In fact, the
prosecution was, in every sense of the
word, malicious. 1t was as mean, vim
dictive, and reckless as those by whom
it was originated and carried on. and
the sturdy old Judge is not little
proud that he has made so signal an
escape from those who were bent on
his destruction.

The Washington Monument at the
National Capital has long been in its
unfinished State, a disgrace to the
country. The Masons OF the country
have concluded that If the nation will
not remove the disgrace, that they will,
and thus pay deserved tribute to a
distinguished Mason and the Father Of
his country. A correspondent of the
World gives the following account of
the action of Masonic Lodges in this
regard:
AS evidence Of reviving interest in
the completion of the Washington
Monument, it may be stated that the
first fruits of an appeal to the Masons
of the country in behalf of the Monu-
ment were lately received by the So
ciety in the form Of draft for the
equivalent in currency Of sl25 in gold
from the Grand Secretary Of Califor-
mia, Mr.. Abel, this sum being the con-
tribution of two of the subordinate
Lodges of the State which should be
credited with their patrotism-Gibson-
vile Lodge No 15S, 500; Sierra
Lodge No. LA, $25. Abel reports that
other Lodges are moving in the cause,
and from the advices Of the society it
is believed that this is but the COM
mencement of a general and generous
response on the part of the Masonic
Paternity, of which Washington was so
exalted member. Other States. also,
are taking hold of the matter, New
Jersey and Minnesota having already
followed the example of New York,
the former contributing $4,000 and the
latter $1,000. New York, it will be
,remembered, contributed $4,000 to the
fund. 6lmiiaf appropriation bills were
introduced In the Iegislatases of other
States, but they were not reached be-
fore adjournment. The society desires
TO make these Acknowledgements"
