Dispatches from various parts of the North
West and Southwest exhibit very uneasy
state of feeling among the Indians. But the
most curious feature of the reports is the i'm
pending fight between the Pawnees and Sioux.
The first-named of these tribes are feeble
folk, compared with their redoubtable enc
mics; but they have trick OF forming
alliances which serve them in good stead
The Pawnees and Sioux have long Deen
hereditary foes, and, in former years, tneir
wars made things uncomfortable for travellers
who crossed the continent by the old-fashioned
wagon trains If these belligerent red men are
"the wards of the nation" it is the PLAIN duty
of their national guardian to keep peace In
the family.

We have before had occasion to commend
the distinguished services which Special Agent
JAYNE is rendering to that active class of
merchants whom their rivals are accustomed
to designate as smugglers" Mr.. Jayne is
evidently determined to make the collection
Of the revenue as obnoxious as pos
sible, and, if such thing be pos
sible, to disgust New-York merchants more
than ever with the methods employed by the
Customs agents in this city. Two years ago
his activity in compelling confessions from
timid witnesses won him the epithet of
Handcuff jayne" which title it is clear he
never deserved, however else sentiment might
have been divided at the time. Now it appears
he has taken to using I" the whole army and
navy Of the United States as a threat, and
lately he went into merchants stOreroom and,
against the warnings of the merchants cOun-
sci and against the advice of District ttOr-
ney Bliss, seized all the books of the con-
Germ. The firm was not one to be trited with,
and it has brought suit against the Special Agent
who it is said has left the city to avoid arrest,
and threatens to resign. 1t is a pity the gen.
tlemen were so hasty; if the Special Agent
had been quietly permitted to go on few
months longer in his vigorous, obnoxious way,
it is likely that great many merchants would
have been aroused to action, and the gentle
man would not have been permitted to retire
without damage,

The annual meeting of the American Association

promises to be of unusual interest. Many OF the
older and more eminent members of the Association

but who have been absent from its more recent ses-
sions have already sigmed their intention to take
an active part at the Portland meeting. Energetic
efforts on the part of the citizens of Portland to pro-
vide facilities for the accommodation and entertain

and excursions have been planned that Will prove Oh

Our Berlin letter gives some account Oh the
condition of the Emperor of Germany, VINO
was at one time reported to be seriously In
disposed. 1t seems likely that his vigorous
constitution will overcome bis recent attack !;
but his advanced age precludes the idea OF

adopted in his country within the last few
years have been urged upon him with great
persistence by the minister whom he chose as

Although Treasurer Spinner, in his official
position, has not much influence in determin-
ing the financial policy of the country, his
views on financial questions are always sure
to command attention. Gen. Spinner has
written a letter to the editor Of journal de-
voted to finance and banking, published in
Frankfort, Germany, in which somewhat Wig
orous epistle the Treasurer gives his ideas on
funding schemes and resumption. What Gen.
Spinner says of the system of funding our
national debt is, perhaps, less likely to attract
notice than what he says about resumption.
He has always thought that the shortest way
to resume specie payments was to resume !;
and he singles out and Classics the opponents
of resumption in a manner which leaves no
room to doubt what the Treasurer thinks Of
them.

THE TARMERS,

The Convention OF Farmers, which il to
assemble in Topeka on the Goth inst, can
accomplish much good for the agricultural
classes if calm, dispassionate Judgment pre-
walls. The farmers of the Western country
have been oppressed for years and to-day are
oppressed. The oppression, however, can
not be removed by making an organized at
tack on railroads. Railroad monopolies, no
doubt, have impoverished many of the agri-
cultural classes, bat notwithstanding this
fact there is beneath all community of
interest between the man who raises grain
and the man who carries the
grain TO market. Railroads are
great civilizers, and also great agencies
in the development of agricultural regions.
1t is only when they are cursed with reck-
less and rascally management, and beneath
the control Of greedy and ignorant men that
they Cypress the people.
What is most needed is an understanding
between the producers and the companies
that transport the products. Let the repre-
sentstives of the agricultural districts meet
the agents of the great Lines of railway and
arrange rates of freight that will enable the
producer 10 move his products to q market.
1t is best TO use all the means of peaceable
solution before invoking legislative aid to
limit rates OF TRANSPORTATION.

THE LEAVENWORTH WEEKLY 1878
SENATOR NOTION.

The work of Senator Morton during the
last session of Nngress is fttingly iecog-
nized in letter from the Washington cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Gazette that ia
published elsewhere. Senator Morton has
been the subject of much severe criticism on
the part Of the opposition, but, 20 far as We
are aware, no pretext has been found during
the last winter for assailing him. Work
that has been given him to do has been
done with thorougbness and honesty that
could not be ga;nsaid. As chairman Of the
Election Committee he has had questions to
consider and decide that we're knotiy and
complicated. He has brought to their dig:
custom rare ability, great industry and
singleness Of purpose, and TO their decision
determination to maintain justice and hon
city. Always strong, he has won by his re-
cent labors new strength and increased re-
gard both in Indiana and in the whole coun-

SAINT PATKIGM,S DAY.

Tomorrow the Irishmen of Leavenworth
will celebrate the anniversary of Saint
Pa:ricL 'sadyent to ireland. St. Patrick in
his time was rated as good man. He
preached the Gospel Of Christianity and did
much 10 elevate and elighten the people of
Ireland. He was an honest and sincere
apostle, and did his work cheerfully, zeal
ously ard with the hope of no other earthly
reward than that to be found in the I'M
proved condition Of humanity.
Tradition has clothed st. Patrick with
some wonderful miracles, not the least of
which ia the one regarding the ex-
pulsion Of serpents from the coil of
ireland. II is not our purpose TO
overthrow The pleasing traditionary
illusion, bat rather TO express the hope that
the 81. Patrick of tradition may be repro
dncei in the nineteenth century. We are
not sure that the veritable serpents of the
American soil ought to he expelled, but We
do need some one of executive ability As an
expeller to cast out the figurative serpents of
Uncle Sans domain. Ii political St.
Patrick should make his appearance at this
time he could find a vast field for the per-
Torrance of good work, and If he should sue
coed in expelling from the soil all the politi-
cal serpents deserving of expulsion his name
would be honored by future generations.
