Off their lhfds, swindle their ignorant
people, and commit various depredations
upon these friendly tribes, Now our
Government owes it to the poor Great
ures, to see that they are protected to the
fullest extent, by severely furnishing any
and all persons who disturb them in any
manner. We have, by solemn treaties
with those tribes, set apart for ther ex-
elusive use, the Indian Territory, and by
those treaties agreed to see that no white
man disturbed them. Instead of protec-
ting them, our Government has stood
still and permitted all kinds of stealing
and fraud, and it has become so bad that
these friendly tribessay unless itisstopped
they will be compelled to move off and
leave the Territory. If it was the negro
applying to Grant, relief would be forth
with granted. In fact, if we had given
the negro this fine Territory as a perpet-
ual home, they would not have had to ask
protection at all, for Gen. Grant and his
minions would have found out the bad
treatment before the negroes did them
selves, and sent out soldiers, provision,
and carpet-hag governors to protect them.

HORACE GREEDY.


Of all the sneak-thieves ON the face Of
the earth, your "busy-body"is the most
loathsome and despicable! He is always
poking his nose into the affairs of other
people. In fact, his good health depends
upon the chances he has to insinuate
something against somebody. Deprive him
of this liberty, and you render him un.
happy. He is in society, fostering sore
a thorn in the flesh of his neighbor-a
"felon" upon the first finger joint of his
victim-a vampire, sucking the blood Of
an unsuspecting victim; a regular pros
ecuting attorney" whose duty it seems to
be, to argue for the condemnation, be-
fore the public, of every one save him
self. Nothing suits him but himself He
prizes into the secrets OF better men than
he; and always has some scandal to relate
which has no sort of reference TO him
self. He is always shy of having his
own shortcomings ventilated; for, gen
orally speaking, he is the most misea-
BILE culprit in the whole community.

A Trotting Park.

The trotting horse Mania has seized
upon nearly all Americans who handle
horses, and it is a mania of the right
kind. Far more profitable than
baseball, or Ragattas. The trotting
horse is a valuable animal, and their
production and training have resulted in
most fortunes to many persons. We
hear of prices being paid for single
horse, as high as $4,000, and We do not
suppose that Goldsmith Mail or Dex.
ter either could be bought for over twice
that amount; While any poor, "threc
ninute" horse will sell for $500 to 3d..
500.
This being true, it is evident that there
: money in breeding these animals.
This, by-the-way, however, we ds5ire
10 say in this connection, that We with
some of our publicspirited citizens who
have the means and the taste, would e.
tablish trotting park near our town, OF
a halfmile circuit, in connection with
the fair ground, in the centre Of which
the amphhitheatre could be built. /.
We know of severals fields near town
that are suitable for it, and as the grounds,
with the exception of the track, could
be used by the owner for grazing pur'
poses, the purchaser of the track would
not require great outlay of money,
while the revenue from the park would
pay handsome dividend. Such is the
case in other places, and it would be 50
here. Its erection would induce many
to breed and develop trotters, in prefer
ence to race horses. Il is needless to
add that on such park all betting should
be prohibited, and no "purses' given.
The idea, is not to have trotting races,
but simply to develop the trotting speed
of the animals, and encourage their more
general production among our citizens,
Of course, premiums could be given, al
at our county fairs, for speed, etc. but
beyond this no other stimulus should b
offered. Why can we not have a trot
ing parkf

RACE AT LONG BRANCH.
Kentucky's Favorite, Longfol-
low Wins by Twenty
Lengths.
TIME asa.

The race between the crark horsc Of
the East, Harry Bassett, md Kentucky's
favorite, Longfellow, for the Monmouth
cup, for all ages, valued at 81 800 added
10 $50 each, for twelve entries, for dash
Of two miles and half, came of on the
the 2nd inst. Lonpfellow winning the
race easily, by twenty lengths. Time
four minutes and thirty-four seconds.
just before the start, Bassctt was the
favorite by 81 800 to 81 900, and 81, 900
to 81, 200.
Both horses were apparently in the
very finest condition. Their appearance
on the track occasioncd immense enthu-
siasm, followed by degree Of excitement
that dubbed over and manifested itself
tumultuously, as the two beautiful and
famous animals were led to the halfmile
post.
AT the tap of the drum they dashed
away splendidly and evenly. At the
lower turn Bassett led by head, but at
the string the horses again were even.
The multitude was fairly wild with ex.
element to see Longfellow closing the
slight gap, inch by inch.
Before reaching the first quarter, Bas.
sett got his nose ahead again, amid hoarse
cheers from ten thousand threats, but on
the back stretch the horses for the third
time were even neck and neck. On the
home stretch Longfellow took the lead by
head. The cheering at this point was
fairly deafning, the general sympathi;y;
perhaps favoring Longfellow. The New
York betting fraternity, however, were
completely dismayed, and when, in turn.
ing into the last mile, Longfellow showed
daylight between himself and his hereto
fore invincible competitor, the feeling
of the hackers of the favorite may be i'm
agined. The remainder of the race was
all on one side.
AT the quarter pole Longfellow was all
of four lengths ahead; at the balfmile,
eight lengths. Bassett was plainly a van
pushed horse, and vainly did his rider
frantically urge him for a squirt on the
lower turn. Longfellow was ten lengths
in advance. Bassett went to pieces, and
Longfellow crossed the string, again the
monarch, leading the dethroned Bassett
by twenty lengths.
1t is thought that LongfellowIs owner
John Harper, will now live to be two
hundred years of age, and never sell his
ideal. The world will now concede that
Longfellow is not beatable.

COL. A, q. TALBOT.

Win feelings OF lncNpreSsimc rtSic',
We have heard that Col. A. G.. Talbot
has declined 70 he voted for in the man
ner pointed out by those alone in au-
thority, and whose duty it is, as every
true Democrat will admit, to say how
ouraspirants for Office shall he nominated.
Mr.. Talbot has, as We are informed, an
nounccd himself an indepedendent can
,lflste for Congress, and intends to wholly
ignore the action of the convention,
whatever it may be, and will stump the
district in his own interest until the cleo
ton in November. We must say that
this course, while il does not surprise us,
OF any one else who knows Mr.. Talbot
rs man of ambition, is extremely repre-
hensible and should, rs it doubtless will,
call down upon his hoary head the right
cous Indignation of all true Democrats
who love their country and respect their
party. We naturally ask ourselves the
pertinent question-why did not Col.
Talbot make this announcement imme-
diately after the call for delegate con-
vention was made by the committee, in
<rsySLallinyHf Until the very eve OF
= IeTiteting, aid saying in his speecncs
that he "ncvcr climbed a hill until he
got to it," The reason is potent to all.
Col. Talbot wanted time TO feel the pulse
of the people, to sec whether it was likely
that he wouh receive the nomination,
and so soon as he found himself in the
rocai;pc, he announces himself an indie
pendent candidate. .
We have said before that we intended,
because it was our duty as an humble
organ of our party, to resist any and all
Efforts at a split in the same, and dis
organization of our ranks. We regard
Col. Talbot highly as a gentleman and
able politician, but we cannot counten-
sncc this act upon his part, nor could we
sodo were he the dearest relative or friend
we ever had. Have we an organization
Of our party in the district? Surely we
have, and that organization is represented
by the very committee who made the
call for the convention, and We should
abide its action with scrupulous fidelity.
If Col. T. has valid right to ignore it
then so has every one of hs competitors.
Then. if they ignore it, our organization
is at an end, we go Off into confusion and
anarchy, and nothing but the very worst
results can flow from such state of af-
fairs. The Democratic oflice-seeker, or
the mere voter, who does not vastly pre-
fer the success and unity of his princi-
pies and party, to the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF
any one man, is unfit to be a member
thereof and can be considered nothing
but a disruptionist. What is one mans
glory and gain, compared to the gain and
glory of great partyS What Is one
mans defeat and pecuniafy loss, COM
pared to the defeat of the principles of a
vast party in whole Congressional dis
trict, and that district, too, one of the
best in our grand old Commonwealth
1t Is needless for Col. L. TO tell us that
his reasons for this conduct are founded
ON the fact that the committee chose q

A Magnificent Sight.

A gentleman who writes from Bombay,
the station at which Professor Lockyer,
of the British Eclipse Expedition, viewed
the recent eclipse, whites to Nature as
follows: 1t does not happen more than
once in lifetime to see such q glorious
and magnificent sight as that from which
/ have just returned-that is, the total
eclipse Of the sun. / have seen many
eclipses before, but never anything to
equal this L was engaged to 60 with
the Morgans to the top of the hill to see
it. Got up at six, and found it a lovely
morning rode up to Morgan's, about
half mile, carrying with me glasses,
smoked glass and sun hat. Got there
before seven, and found the eclipse had
already begun. Got our two mirrors
and watched the hole in the sun grow
bigger and bigger. 1t began from the
top, and we all went off to the highest
point on the hill, from whence we could
see all Dolly and the mountains around.
When the eclipse got so far, the cold on
the mountain grew much greater, the
grass was 50 wet that no ones boots kept
it out the hands and feet grew cold, and
with your back to the sun the light over
the country was like twilight or the ear
lest dawn, Gradually the lower streak
got thinner and thinner, until at last
there shone light like the famous lime
light, and in moment or two that went
out and the sun was totally concealed
many stars were visible, the whole coun-
try looked dark-that is, half dark like
moonlight-the crows stopped cawing,
and for two minutes and half the to-
tai eclipse lasted, sight | never shall
forget, and then the lime-light again up.
peared at the bottom rim of the sun,
and gradually more and more of him
appeared, the crows began again at once
and the cocks began to crow, the shadow
now was inverted, and by degrees got
smaller, until at nine o'clock the eclipse
was over. / cannot but suppose thai
the scientific men must have had grant
opportunities of observation, and tina
to-day's pencil will carry home many
description. Anything more beautiful
more sublime, or more perfect it would
be impossible to conceive.
