THE VIII E MANS GREED.
What the Reservation IsdIabs Think Of
the Attempt TO Rob Them.

ST. LOUIS, January 29.-Thomas
LeMoine, of this city, who has spent
several weeks in the Indian Terrific
~, has Just returned, and reports that
the feeling in regard to the adoption
Of the territorial policy Is gaining
ground, but there is still intense hos.
tility to it, and considerable interest
is manifested as to the congressional
results on the subject.
In the Creek nation the advocacy oi
such a measure would be dangerous
to the life of the advocate.
Among the OhOctaws the policy Is
gradually growing, and among the
CherOkees 1t is still more favorable.
Mr.. Lem. says it is simply a ques-
ton of time with all the tribes as to
its ultimste success. But little else is
talked Of there now, end the sending
of rival delegates to congress is a
source of much comment, and occa-
sions at times local troubles.

THE Pittsburg dispatch says of the
author of Joshua Mazvel:" Mr..
FaTjeon Is q new writer, but he is q
strong one, and his looks were writ
ten to last. We cannot, as some
critics do, call him Dickens successor,
because he resembles that novelist In
but one particular, and in that he sur
passes him; but we believe that we
detect in him the germs Of great
ness equal to that OF the author Of
"Dsvid Copperheld."

OF course. The Ku Klux ACT must be
extended 80 as to cover the period of the
Presidential election. The "rebels" and
"traitors" OF the South grow dangerous
as the day of election draws near. The
"loyal men of the South" must be qua
ranteed by martial law the right and tho
opportunity of voting early and voting
often for that great and good man, the
President, who put down the rebels
once, and, in the polite Language OF Par
son Brownlow, "oan do it again." Yes,
indeed, the power to suspend the writ of
hadcas corpus at will; the power to sur
round the ballot-box with troops; the
power to bayonet all freedom, must be
continued in the person of the congress
sional candidate for reelection. Tiue
Ia hberte! Down with "rebels" and
"traitors."

A apec'al despatch to the Charleston


Nesos, dated Oheeter, April 10. says:
The total number of houses. of all
kinds, entirely destroyed by the storm of
yesterday afternoon, is sixty-two, and a
great many other buildings are seriously
damaged. No person was killed. Paris
A. Lilies, David Jones, Lucy Jones and
Pauline Stokes, all oolored, were injured
by falling houses; the. frat named seri-
ousiy. All the out-buildings on the plan
tation OF Mrs. Gooch, four miles to the
East of Chester, were entirely destroyed; !;
also tho out-buildings on the plantation
OF Mrs. Rodan, four miles to the West of
the town. Miles of fencing along the
track OF the storm were levelled to the
ground, and Thousands of the largest
fruit trees were torn up by tho roots,
and, In many cases. carried to consider
able distance. The total loss cannot fall
short Of 500, 900, and falls mostly upon
people in very limited circumstances.
A public meeting Of the citizens of the
town, presided over by the Rev. l.. G.
Hinton, was held in the court house this
afternoon. A committee of fifteen was
appointed to raise fund for the relief
OF the sufferers, and committee of five
to ascertain the extont Of the injury and
tons to report to an adjourned meeting
OF citizens tomorrow afternoon.
The house occupied by Judge Mackcy
was rendered almost entirely uninhabit-
able, and his furniture was badly da-
maged. The house wne just in the track
OF the storm, but being substantial
house was not blown over. The hand
some grounds of Maj. George Melton
were seriously injured by the uprooting
of the large forest trees which consti-
tuted its chief attraction.

And now suppliant chorus sweeps
through the country, praying for thoah
lition of fractional currency, and the
substitution of coin in place thereof.
Silver is hardly above par-so little, that
alloy might be rendily used to render it
of standard value. All must view tho
use of fractional currency as oil intolera-
BILE nuisance. yet the infiction has been
borne for six years, without o murm er,
and Mr.. Boutwell, could hardly bring his
official career to more appropriate close
than by exerting himself to establish our
currency under one dollar upon specie
basis. Its good effects would be felt in
a thousand ways, outside of the immense
relief afforded the public in its greater
convenience.

FRANCE AND Prussia. story
about trouble between these two nations
has been contradicted and repeated.
We believe that there is this much in the
matter: France has, by her increased
and increasing armament. and through
the speeches Of NJ. Theirs, shown what
is construed by Bismarck into desire
for revenge; and he has given intimation
to the effect that if Franco goes on with
these manifestations, Prussia will re-
occupy France. AS France is go COM
pletely at the mercy of Prussia, we sup
pose TINT it will not incur tho horrors OF
re-occupation by the Prussians. There
can be no further trouble, We suppose,
than nn interchange of notes, and sub
mission by Franco to the cxigency of
her situation. Still, the world may in
quire whether Prussia means to hold the
position Of supervisor over Franco to
check her aud keep her down ut will. II
so, why not annex her Mt once? That
would be less revolving.

The RESULT OF A THRILLING MISTAKE.
A small mistake in printing will some
times cause unlooked-for results. Some
time since speech was delivered in
England by the celebrated John Bright.
AN extract from this speech, as it ap-
peared in the London Times, read :
"But I deny altogether that tho rich
alone are qualified to legisIate for tho
poor, and more-that the poor alone nre
qualified to legislato for the rich." This
was pretty broad doctrine, and the Fort
nightly Reoie,u, accepting the report of
the Times as correct, made furious on
slaught upon Mr.. Bright for saying that
the poor alone were qualified to legislate
for the rich. Mr.. Bright, with his won't
ed impetuosity, severely assailed the
fortnigtNy Reuie,o for gross perversion
of what he had said, that journal not
having stated that its aninadversions
were founded on the report OF that par.
ticular speech as given in the Times. An
investigation of tho matter took place,
when it was found that tho substitution
of two letters had caused all the trouble
Mr.. Bright had said "any moro than the
poor" whereas tho printer had substi-
tutcd the letter I'd" for the letter 'y" in
Tho word "any," and the letter ct" for
tho letter "n" in tho word "than," thus
giving al altogether different meaning
to the sentence.

Everybody thought that the ''relics
OF barbarism" had all been wiped ont
by the war, but it now appears that
everybody was mistaken. The other
day motion was introduced into the
House OF Representatives, making it un-
lawful to brand any letter or mark upon
the body of soldier by way of punish
ment. So it seems that, notwithstand-
ing "the crack of tho overseer's whip
has ceased forever" the humane army
that silenced it has gone on cheerfully
branding red hot letter "D's" on the
shoulders of offenders, just rs if nothing
had happened. It is strange that hearts
80 ready to melt at negro woes should
now feel their first pang for those OF
whites. Yet SO it stands recorded.

n bloody affray, in which two officers
OF the law were shot and house burned
down, took place recently Mt Harlem,
Ill. The affair resulted from the at
tempt of land speculator. named Ga
zette, to oust an Indian chief from pro-
perty that he had paid for. The trou-
bic began year ago, when Gazette at
tempted to drive off the owners of the
land, in which he partially succeeded,
and placed man on the premises to
guard the property by force of arms,
SUP lying him with ammunition. Re-
Gently an attempt was made to serve on
injunction on the occupant by M officer,
who was shot and will probably die.
Again, another officer. on the following
day, at 4 o'clock y. NJ, with posse,
made their appearance, when he fired
upon them. wounling another man, and
not until his house had been fired, and
had become too hot 10 hold him, was
the outlaw captured. He has been
lodged in Jail to await the action of the
grand jury.

While the negroes of Chicot County,
Arkansas, were burning the property
and numbering the families of white r,en
for days and weeks, the New York Times
somehow failed to get any inkling of
what was going on. But now that o
gang of desperate white men in CAL
houn County, of that State, are rctaliat-
ing by the Same diabolical means on a
negro murderer, the Times can devote q
whole column of editorial to the matter.
It becomes important, urges the Times.

which pay q license of 5000 year and
the rest $3.50. The licenses on other

which pay license of 5000 year and
the rest $3.50. The licenses on other
businesses, merchants OF all sorts,
brokers, draymen and all professions. it
seems but reasonable to presume, must
far exceed the single business OF selling
liquor. The receipts from the market,
we are told by those who should know,
ought to be double that which is given,
viz: a2,400. But we have other author.
ity still. According to the estimate
made by the Committee Of Ways and
Means, the total revenue of tho city is
put at $4,000. Now, the Clerk Of the
Council, Mr.. Etter, when testifying be-
fore the Committee of the General AS
sembly, stated that the receipts amount
ed to 800, 900, a difference right there OF
$4,000. Moreover, Mr.. Etter, at the
time referred to, had every inducement
to make the ordinary resources of the
city appear as limited as possible. The
Council was passing through the Legis-
lature the bill to authorize the issue of
city bonds. and, of course. the greater
necessity there appeared for getting
funds in that way, the better would be
the chances of the bill.
