Mr.. John Wilson resuming his argument yes
terday before the District committee in behalf
of the wilson, idweIl claim to the river fats,
took occasion to assert that his character and
that OF his brother Joseph had been assailed by
The STAR, and he went ON to speak in highly
complimentary manner of his brother Joseph
and himself. He defed anybody. moreover, to
lay his finger on a single corrupt act with which
either his brother Joseph or himself was ever
connected Mr.. Wilson jumps at conclusions
with the feverish haste of a credit mobilier
stakeholder. Nobody charged him or his
brother Joseph, or Mr.. John L. Kidwell, with
having acted sorruptly in making their little
grab at the river lands 1t was a sharp
little business transaction, that's all. To
be sure, the parties to it showed great deal
OF solieitude to keep the transaction shady at
the time. but that might naturally have been
from disposition to fully secure their claim
before adverse attention was called to it,
Again, as a matter of looks il would have ap-
pesred better had not this secret preemption of
the river front as public land, been carried
through the Land Office while Mr.. John Wilson's
brother Joseph was commissioner. Still this
does not imply any corruption. II the preemp-
ton was made according TO law, 1t does not mat
ter who was commissioner. The fact, however,
that Messrs- Wilson s. Kidwell have not sue
ceeded in their later effort to get patent for
six hundred acres more Of river flats above and
below the Long Bridge, would indicate that the
present officers of the Land Office do not construe
the law "a literally as did Commissioner Wilson,
When, however, Messrs. kidweu & Wilson
put their presumption investment of twenty
three dollars in the way of great public i'm
Provement, they must expect to have the merits
of their claim challenged.

Progress in China.

An intelligent correspondent of the New York
Times writes from Pekin, describing, among other
interesting matters, the progress of American aud
European ideas and usages among the Chinese.
By way of showing how the light wins its way
among those people, he instances the following
facts:
"a monthly magazine, edited by English and
American missionaries, has been lately started in
this capital (Pekin,) and isNwe received by the
leading officials. wealthy Mandarin of this city
has had his house lit up with gas-settng his
oountrymen an example which the correspondent
fears they will not be in haste to initiate More
significant than this is the purchase of type and
presses by the Government for the purpose of in.
Producing more expeditions method of printing
than the block cutting OF the natives and, not to
refer to the educational mission which they have
sent to America, may cite, says the cOrrespOn
dent, as another proof of progress, the increasing
interest which the high officials seem to take in
their own university. The Prime Minister visited
the institution the other day, accompanied by sew
eral heads of departments and other high func-
tionaries, and spent two hours looking at expert
ments in chemistry and physics. Some of these
men saw, for the first time, the working of
steam-eugne, and the most beautiful exhibitions Of
chemical legerdemain. What gratl6ed them most
was the fact that those experiments were performed
altogether by the Students the foreign professors
giving them thus an ocular demonstration of their
success in tranSplanting the sciences of the West
TWenty-six young men took part In the exhibition.

The Indians Interesting Facts.

From the 4th Annual Report of the Board Of
Indian Commissioners we CLEAN the following:
The Episcopalians, during nine months, to
October LIST, have expended over $25 900 in money
besides the large contributions they have received
in clothing, hospital stores, and provisions, The
Friends and the Presbyterans have each expended
a similar amount. The American Board has ex-
pended $4,000, and the Dlethodlsts, Catholics
Baptsts, Reformed Dutch, American Missionary
and other societies. are literally sustaining mis-.
sions already IN Opel alton and projecting new ones"
The reports OF the missionaries show high de-
gree OF success. During the year, the PreSby-
terrain, Methodist, and Eplscopalan missions, have
admitted more than six hundred Sioux, Chippewas
and Nez PerceS and other Indians to church mem
bership. When an Indian becomes Christian, he
abaudons all the cherished customs and traditions
Of his nation, cuts off his scalp lock, adopts civil
lized garments, and goes to work for his living
Inc material as well as moral change, Is lar greater
than In the case OF the white man, and there is
ample proof that he is usually as consistent a
Christian, In his simple way, as the average OF
white men. Neither sneers nor doubts can take
away the import of these indlsputable facts.
The partially civilized tribes, numbering about
80 600 souls, have, In proportion to population,
more schools, and with larger average atten
dance, more churches, church members, and min
listers, and spend far more OF their own money for
education than the people of any Territory of the
United States. Life and property are more safe
among them, and there are tetoer vioLatoHS Of la,o
than az the Territories. ="
The Cherokees, with population of Is 900,
have TWO boarding schools and sixty day schools,
three OF which are for children oil freedmen, with
an average attendance OF ,94S pupils, sustained
at cost OF $25, 900 last year.
The Creeks numbering Is 900, have three
missions and 1850 church members, and an aver
age attendance OF AGA. They have enc boarding
school, ana 81 day schools attended by 800 pupils
at a cost OF Sl4 25S Tor the past year.
The Choctaws and ChickasawS, numbering
70, 600, have three missions ana 2 500 church mem
bers They have Two boarding schools and 4S
day schools. Thifty-six of these are
sustained by the ChOctaws, at a cost OF $50 600;
IA by the Chickssaws, at of $33 QUO last year. -
The Choctaws, ChickaSaWs, Cnerokees, Creeks,
and Semlnoes are civilized. Total civilized 49,

An ExplanatiOn.-ThOse interested in Union

An Explanation. interested in Union
Theological Seminary may wish to understand why
the Board of Directors (who are also Trusteesl
should be called to meet on the 9th of May instead
Of the 18th, as published by the Secretary, There
is clear conviction that when, in 1870, the Board
fixed the time of its annual meeting, the design
was to have it on the Tuesday before the ID Thurs
day of May. By this arrangement it could never
come during the same week with our General As
sembiy, which always meets on the Sd Thursday
But in some way the record has E" Wednesday, In
stead of Thursday If our Board should be held
to that, then as the Tuesday before the I'd We'd
uesday comes on the 18th, it would bring the
meeting only two days before that Of the General
Assembly, which this year comes on the 18TH
That would make it almost impossible to send
report to the Assembly, and entirely impossible
for some of the members of the Board to be pre-
sent at the Seminary; aud it would also be exceed
ngy inconvenient to one at least of the Professors
who, contemplating voyage to Europe, has taken
his passage in a steamer for May the 10Th. On
these accounts it is believed that the convenience
and interests Of all concerned will be promoted by
the change as made and published in this paper.
Other papers in which the notice Of the Secre-
tary has appeared will confer favor by noting the
change.
