Favorable Change.

Since the nomination of Greeley and Brown,
the Richmond Enquirer has been very unwise-
ly opposing that ticket. We are pleased to see
that it has been convinced of its error, as is
manifested by the tenor of the leading editorial
in its issue of Thursday last. From that article,
we extract the following few lines which are
pregnant with meaning:
''The signs of the times-the fervor with
which the nominations of the Cincinnati Con-
vention have been received in the South, and
teach US our duty; and that is to oppose no
obstruction in the way of our own regenera-
ton.
We feel assured that the Enquirer will no
longer place instructions in the way of cordial
support by the Democratic party Of the only
ticket which, under the circumstances, can Sc
cure the defeat of the Radical ticket-Grant
and Wilson.

j. G. MATTHEW, Secretary.
Ex-Gov. FIJI. Peirpont for Greeley


This gentleman as one of the Republican
delegates from West Virginia went to the
Philadelphia Convention, but finding that
Grant would be nominated, withdrew and went
home with the purpose of supporting Greeley,
La his speech to the delegation from bis State,
he said
He had hoped, when selected without solicit
tatlon to come as delegate to this Convention,
that there might be still an Opportunity to save
the party by the nomination of an acceptable
Presidential candidate-one who would obey
the laws and respect the popular will; but it is
now evident that il was hoping against hope
that this is not a meeting for deliberation as to
the interests of the Republican party or of the
country, but meeting to obey the exacting de-
mands of an arrogant power. Neither the ad-
monItlons of Cincinnati nor of Sumner are
needed, and it is resolved to destroy the organ
lzatlon to crafty mere personal government. I
therefore withdraw from the delegation, and
give you this timely notice to fill my place. [
shall then be free to give my earnest support
to Horace Greeley"

In the general conference of the M. E. Church
at New York, on the Sd inst, the committee
on the state of the church reported that all
differences between this church and the Metho-
dist church South were harmoniously settled,
and they proposed committee to confer with
the leaders of the church South, to bring about
fraternal relations between the two churches.
Several delegates spoke in favor of this pro-
ject, after which the report was adopted unani-
mousy by rising vote.

The work along the line of the Chesapeake

ly that it is expected to have it completed this
Fail, probably as early as October. When COM
pleted and its connections shall have been es-
tablished, it will be one of the most important

are so near their period of realization.

the 4th inst, before the ecclesiastical commit

Huston made several motions asking dismis-
sal of the charges on the ground that the testi-
mony was insufficient to establish them, which,
however, were not allowed by the committee.
The evidence of several witnesses was taken,
which, however, it is believed, was not of
special Importance. 1t is asserted that the testi-
mony of some of the witnesses corroborated
evidence previously introduced to establish the
character for truthfuness, &C., of the two prin-
cipal witnesses for the prosecution. 1t is also
understood that sub committee has been ap-
pointed to take important testimony in another

BRIEFLY TATED.--That independent and
bright newspaper the Cincinnati Commercial
states the case thus:
1t does not need an essay to show why the
Democrats should nominate Greeley They ap-
prove the principles Of the platform on which
the ratification of his nomination by their Ma
tional Convention consoidatcs the opposition
to Grant, whose policy they condemn, and
makes his defeat certain. A few ultra free
traders and Democratic Bourbons troubled
with great principles for which the country has
no immediate use, may stand out, but their
members are SO few that they will not count In
November The Democrats, with Greeley,
can beat the Grant Radicals; without him, it
cannot be done. And that is the whole of it.

CHANGE IN THE BANKRUPT AW.-Congress
has passed bill amendatory of the bank
rupt law. 1t allows all exemptions allowed by
any State law on the lst day Of January, 1871.
This will save to bankrupts in Virginia two
thousand dollars worth Of property. 1t also ez-
empts a widows dover, or other estate in lieu
thereof, if the State law so provides; also life
insurance to the amount of five thousand dol
lars. The time during which bankrupts may
be discharged upon payment of fifty per cent.
Of their Indebtedness is extended until July l,
1873; judgments obtained against persons Or
property, before petitions in bankruptcy are
fled are to be first and fully satisfied. Changes
in the methods of appointing registrars, in the
matter of marshall fees and other less impor-
tant particulars, are also made.

 The importance of making our hun dredth anniversary useful as we'll as joyful, and of permanent value as well as of ephemeral interest, is not to be denied. The mining men of the country have especial reasons for taking prominent part in the cele- bration. No other occasion can pre- sent so excellent an opportunity for gathering a collection of the ores, and products made from ores, of this coun- try.

thereby have unfairly brought 1t into contempt and made too many on the frontier despise it. Agents have too often felt that to exalt the Indians S virtues and exaggerate the faults of an outraged community of as we'll dis posed people as any in existence, constituted their chief business, or would insure for themselves credit for humanity and christianity they did not deserve. Every Agent who has shown a just disposition toward the settlers and to regard their rights as far as they had power or discretion, has been zealously sup ported in all acts of kindness, hon. esty, iberality, etc., in behalf of the Indian. All the frontiersman asks is that his virtues be not grossly under rated and that of the Indians as grossly overstated; and that settlers have certain rights which agents and Indians in their charge must re- spect. We gather from the Secre- tary's report that his policy means this, and the exposed settlers insist on no more and no less.

THE INTERIOR REPORT.
Public Lands.-The Indians.

General B. R. Cowen, Assistant Secretary of the Interior, favors us with this report in pamphlet form. Except the Post Office Department, the people, in times of peace, are more generally affected by the operations of the Interior Department than any other. It has control of the execu- tion of the laws governing public lands, patents, pensions, most public buildings, the taking of the census, certain benevolent institutions, the educational bureau, railway and other land grants, geological surveys of the Territories, the management of the Indians, and minor interests. The public lands and Indians more nearly concern this people than other matters. Regarding lands, the report says Ill., S64975 acres were disposed of during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1872. But one recommendation of special consequence is made regarding the lands, and that is an endorsement of the Commissioners suggestion to have the main features of the pre-emption and homestead laws consolidated into one act, making substantially but one mode of acquiring title to public lands. The different modes in force now tend to confuse the settler and often mislead him as to the extent of his legal rights.
 The Indians get considerable space, and while the appliances of chris tianity are held to be of great ser vice in improving the Indians, their

legitimate directions. show of strength will be needed for some time to enforce the new policy.
 This paragraph ought also to be given even in our small space:
 It is but reasonable, therefore, to request the withholding of unfriendly criticism relative to the efficiency of the policy until the Department is prepared to announce that it is thoroughly inaugurated in all it's parts over all the tribes under the control of the Indian Office.
 We can assure the Secretary that his policy as whole, is good enough for just saint or fair sinner and no objection will be made to it in its en- tirety. We are now, as heretofore, of opinion that the agents to whom have been entrusted the execution of the policy, have too often either been un- able or unwilling to comprehend and apply the policy in all its parts, and

It is certain that but little progress can be made in the work of civilization while the Indians are suffered to roam at large over immense reservations, hunting and fishing, and making war upon neighboring tribes.
