The Indian wives of Border whites.

The custom of taking to themselves In
dian wives still prevails among the hunters
and trappers OF our Western Territories,
and a correspondent. of the Chicago I5I-
bune. writin. from Wyoming, says:
1t is no uncommon thing, In this noun
famous region, to lind a white man and a
sGuaw who have a numerous progeny OF
half-breed children growing UP around
them. These children are active ard quick
witted. and their descendants vii. 60
toward making up our highland population
The s4uaws make good and faithful wives,
and, 80 tar a. their knowledge goes, good
mothers. They seem TO enjoy life. and IN
their gambling games get thoroughly ex-
cited. The women have games Of their
own. and no man interferes with them in
any way. The game seems to be somewhat
like the old play of the children called
Button. button. who's got the button"
During the whole game, all the women
sing together the most lively air l have
ever heard among the savages, and all are
eager for the possession of the grand prize,
which consists Of beade and bead-work,
scissors, money, needle, thread. and hum
dred other things dear to the feminine
heart The children. too, are anxious
lookers-On; and he who supposes the In
dams 90 not enjoy themselves. ought 20
see them engaged in this game, where their
whole soul appears to be absorbed in
pleasurable excitement. 1t is called Nj IL
WITT, the Game Of Hand; and while it is
going on, . woman at either end Of the
two rows of players beats on the poles
which separate them with all their might,
keeping time TO the music. and cressing
the enthusiasm as much az pos
sible. Some OF the young squaws are
handsome black-eyed creatures. with
masses Of raven hair, who would
attract attention anywhere. Their bright
colored blankets set Off their charms t. the
greatest advantage. and they appear mod
est and decorous enough. For a long time
was OF opinion that there wa. no such
thing as a handsome Indian girl, but in this
was greatly mistaken, some of them bein :
very fair to look upon. They break early
in life, and the old women look like the
vericst hag-. The young girls have all the
playful little ways of their tairer sisters,
and the little ones have their dolly pa
pOOses, che same as white children. Human
nature. after all. - a good dea. the same
every where. and q little observation anon I.
savases shows that they are governed by
the same passions and impulse. :ha: We

most conspicuous counsel for the prosecu-
WHEELER II. PECKHAM, has borne himself
creditably throughout the trial. II a ms-
take has been made, or n point neglected,
1t has not been his fault; and, so far as we
are aware he has no occasion to regret
anything that has happened In the pro-
ceedings. Indeed, his argument was the
ablest made on the side OF the prosecti-
tion, with the exception of the charge OF
the Court.
We make these observations with the
more freedom because we are morally con-
vnced that Mr.. TWEED is guilty. and i'm
our opinion the suggestion so frequently
made of late, that the developments of
corruption at Washington and the Custom
House frauds committed by great re-
ligious house leave his offences in the
shade, however true In itself. does not In
the least palliate his guilt. We condemn
him as plunderer of the public treasury,
robber Of the taxpayers, and corruptor
of politics and legislation. But for all
that, he should he tried by impartial
courts, and not by prejudiced and unfair
magistrates. II IL better for the public
that n score Of criminals should escape
punishment than that the administration
of the law should be perverted and passion
and the caprices Of excited feeling take
the place of indisputable proofs and the
solemn judgment OF unbiased justice.
