WASHINGTON.

WAsHISGros, April pa long tele-
gram from Secretary Delano, dated
Muskagee, Indian Territory, April 20,
confirming the reported murder of U. s.
officers few days since, has been re-
ceived. The Secretary says: "All the
facts and information convince me that
the District Court should be organized
for the territory at once. If you concur,
please say to Mr.. Harlan and members
of the judiciary committee of the Sen
ate and House that the Law Court can
not be enforced nor order preserved
without this. The Secretary further
says: IL have seen that much of the
disorder in the Indian country is pro-
duoed by desperate white men who fol-
low the construction of the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas railroad. have tel
egraphed the Secretary of War TO direct
the squad of infantry now here to expel
these men, WHICH viii be done if orders
are given"
The President referred the telegram
to the chairman Of the judiciary COM
mittee Of the Senate and House, and
also to the chairman Of the committee
on Indian affairs.
The bill providing for a continuance
Of the power granted to the President
to suspend the writ of habeas corpus
from the end of the present session of
Congress to the end of the term of this
Congress, is made the special order for
Wednesday. 1t is conceded that the bill
will pass the Senate, but very likely to
be defeated in the House.
The Acting Secretary of the Treasury
today ordered the payment Of the May
interest on the public debt from and
after Wednesday.
General Butler has prepared a resolu.
ton for the final adjournment of Con.
gress on the 18th Of May, and wanted to
introduce it to-day for passage under
the two-thirds rple. The contested cleo.
ton case occupied the whole time. how.
ever, and gave him no opportunity 10

ton. and to accomplish this It's deemed
important to have both Houses agree as
soon as possible upon the date in order
that the necessary business may be hur-
ried forward tits understood that the
Senate will agree upon any day prior to
the 9th of June which the House may
fix.
A Southern Republican member OF
Congress remarked to-day that Charles
Sumner held the key to the political
situation if Congress should adjourn
without passing the civil rights bill, and
if he should declare for the Cincinnati
nominees the member was confident a
large part of the colored vote would be
hopelessly lost to Grant, and that every
Southern State would go with him.

THE PARAMOUNT DUTY.

In the presence of the vast issues now
before the American people all party
dogmas are dead. 1t is nonsense to dis
cuss but one question, whatever our po-
litical philosophy may be. A couple OF
angry men disputing about ordinary
facts, and suddenly precipitated into
deep water, will forget all else and grasp
at the same plank for safety. So let it
be with all good citizens in the moment
GUS crisis now upon the country. The
reelection of Grant and ku-klux
Radical Congress to back him will close
out the last syllable that records the
principles of free government. In that
event, he would commence the struggle
for third term, and if defeated, would
most probably appeal to the army to re-
tain him in Office. 1t is not impossible
that he may try the experiment ON
the fourth of March next if de-
feated. The men who are controlling the
Liberal Republican movement under
stand the situation, and have no conf.
dence in the integrity Of their President.
1t was only dsager to the government
that drove them into opposition. Hav-
ing been behind the scenes, they are
fully informed of all that has been done
and all that is contemplated. When the
military ring is driven out Of Washing
ton, the country will be saved. We may
then discuss old and new issues apper
tanning to administration, and divide TO
hearts content. As it is, men had just
az well talk Of Lots wife in the form of a
pilIar of salt probably licked away
thousand years ago. as to talk OF the
distractions of SO, or the modern
creeds Of parties. Until free govern
ment, as distinct fact, is assured, creeds
are out OF place, because they are found
cd on principles growing out of free
Constitution. and when that no longer
exists, where is your creed9 The great
work of the people of the South is to
carry the Southern States for the oppo-
sitiou candidate for President. There
is no hope for them if Grants reelected
and backed by Ku-Klux Radical Con-
gress To fritter away time and talent
on frivolous issues, will be madness
Drive right to the central figure, and upon |
that expend your, powers. Beat Grant
and all else will take care Of itself.

nsrL.Ess ExcIrRMENT.

We regret to see that good deal oil
feeling, and not of the best kind, Il
surouting up around the gubernato
rial question. 1t is ell wrong. There
is no occasion for it, and it should
be suppressed rather tnan encouraged
1t is to us a matter Of little importance
as to the person upon whom the nomi
nation of the 9th of May convention may
fall, provided always that he be one Of
MS. Personally, we may have prefer
encs, but it amounts 10 nothing pohtl
cally. According to present indications,
the principal contestants will be two rep
resentative Tennesseeans, General Brown
aud General Cheatham. Others equally
worthy may enter the lists. At all
events, the convention cannot make
a serious mistake with the material
we have. And what use is there in
people becoming partisans Of Brown or
Chea.ham, or any one else2 We sup
pose that the counties will not send up
delegates in the interest Of either, or
any aspirant 1t should be left to the
convention to determine the claims OF
all its citizens, without respect to
whether a man is candidate or not.
There is no good reason why a dozen
West Tennesseeans may not be properly
brought before the convention. We
know at least that number who would
adorn the Office of Governor. We have
bigger things TO get mad about than the
question of the gevernorship. In any
event we shall have a Democratic Gov
ernor. We want then, nine members Of
Congress and Democratic Legislature
composed of the Wisest men in the
State. Tennessee, after determining
this, will, if there be such, and
placed on a sound platform, roll up
a majority of from twenty-five to
fifty thousand majority for the nominee
of the Cincinnati Convention. This, is or
should be, the programme of the Demo
Gratis and Wings Of Tennessee-indeed
the programme of everybody. Now, let
MS not tear our hair, nor rend our gar
ments, nor improvise little hurricanes in
little tea-pots over the governOrship. Ii
will come out all right. Our ammuni.
ton and the utmost Of our wrath should
he expended on the military ring al

TALKING SENSE.

A prominent Democrat of Ohio writes
a private letter to Washington, of which
this is an extract: As for regular Demo
cratic nominations, the party has fol-
the last ten years tried to emerge By
poking its head in the same identical
hole, and has always been hit by the
same identical brick which every fool
has now learned just when and where to
throw. Another attempt to crawl out at
the same hole in 1872 and another lick
on the self same head will kill it. l
hope for the wissst counsels and action
upon the part of both Liberal Republi-
cans and Democrats; for do not desire
to see splendid opportunity to regene-
rate and save the country thrown away
for the qualification of small ambitions.

A Washington dispatch says: "A

leans, beside the regular delegates.

flowers, which, as may be imagined. must
have lost much of their original strength
during the process of desication. The Trap
pist Fathers. having the facility of preparing
their Alcoholized Arnica on the spot where
the plant grows naturally, and at the moment
of blossoming when II contains all its active
properties. are thereby enabled to offer q
remedy which slrpasses anything OF its kind
that can be had in this country.
Wherever their Arnica has been tried II has
been held in great demand. 1t may be we'll
10 state that besides the advantage resulting
from the use of this remedy. the purchase Of
the same is great act Of charity. as thus an
assistance is afforded TO the poor religious
who depend chiefly on this resource for subsist-
ence. The misfortunes which befell the princi-
pal cities of France are well known; the good
have su ffered as we'll as the wicked; and the
monks of La TTdppe. who subsisted chiefly on
aims, have been refused the bread OF charity
which we can procure for them.
The Rev. Francis D'Assise, one of the Trap
pist Fathers Of Notre Dame des Neiges. is
now in the city, and offers his remedy to the
citizens of Memphis. Being DESTROYS. OF
