GRANTS CHURCH SYSTEM.


The novel experiment ms ituted ~
President Grant of mixing Churches with
State in Indian affairs, and designating
through the Interior Department the vsri-
GUS paths to salvation which the different
tribes must pursue, does not in all cases
work So isfactorily. The Usage Indians,
who are Catholics, have been turned over
to the supervision Of Quaker missionaries,
and they are very much dissatisfied with tie
change. A memorial TO the President has
been prepared and signed by the principal
chiefs, in which they say that they have
frequently petitloued the authorities to
return to them their Catholic mis-
sionsries, but their wish has not
been gratitied. They say the Catholic
priests came to live among them in Is "A,
and have always been regarded as their
fathers; that they would never have signed
the treaty of 1865 if it had not b3en fully
understood that their Catholic priests were
to remain with them, educate their chill
dren, and aid them with advice. They
complain that the experience Of the four
years has pr we'd that the religious teachers
who have been forced upon them cannot
command the respectful obedience Of the
young men and children and say that tie
present officers and missionaries are sus-
pected of seeking Selfinterest and wasting
their snDuities, The memorial closes with
an appeal to the President ID give them
back their Catholic instructors promising
II this is one that their children shall be
sent to school. They tbibk that they have
N right to CHI rose their own religion and Sc
lect Their own teachers, as only their Own
money is involved in the expense. The
Osages have a large educational fund.

The Survivors Started For CiviIiza.
tiOn Two Months Ago.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE Secretary
of the Navy received the following dispatch
to-day from the U. S. steamer Juniata,
which arrived at st. Johns, n. F.:
The Juanitas met the Tigress 3. Apsrua-
vik and cosled her. She sailed Aug. 18th
for Littleton Island. The Iigress met the
JuniatA's steam launch. Lieutenant De
Long of Tessnisak, who had been to Cape
York In launch and returned at Disco,
mel the Tigress again and coa:ed her Aug.
10Th. Commander Greer reports the camp
Of the Polsris found Aug. IA off Listleton
Island, latitude 70 deg. % min. North,
Longitude % deg. 46 min. West. The
crew of the Polaris were all well. They
had gone South two months before in two
boats made from the sip. The PolaTis
sank one month after. The Tigress kept
a careful lookout, going North and coming
South. There wereno signs. She stOppo
at all the settlements for news. The crew
of the POlaris are probably on board of a
whaler from Cape York. The Tigress left
Disco Aug. % for the Labrador coast to
continue the search so long as coal and the
season permits. d. L. BRAINE,
Commander U. S. n.
The Littleton Islani referred to is about
60 miles north # Northumberland Island,
where tn party rescued from the Polaris
supposed they had left her. It is q little
south the Life Boat Depot Of DR.. Kane
in 1858. The probability is that the Tyson
party were mistake as to the locality Of
their separation from the Polaris aud that
it was really Littleton Island in tead Of
Northumberland Island. 1t is harsdly pos.
sibie that after the separate n the Polaris,
in her disstled condition, succeeded in any
way in reaching point go miles further
north. 1t is understood that orders were
sent to Commander Braine to continue the
search for the crew of the Polaris.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. SIS artling de-

at the late Presidential election. 1t seems
that Warmoth's supervisors and confden-

have made what purports to be foil disclo-
sure of the facts f. tina case, giving dOcU-
mentary AMI tabular evidence in corrobera-
ton, The testimony of Blanchard, Chief
State Register. who appointed every Com
missioner of Election in the State, taken
under oath, Is that In New Orleans alone
there were over $500 fraudulent votes
counted for the Fusionists, and 3, 900 Repub-
lican votes illegally struck OF the register
or taken out of the boxes. In the country
parishes nearly 5000 Republican votes we're
fraudulently excluded, and 1890 Republic
can votes were cast that were not counted.
These statements are also supported ~ the
evidence, under oath, Of w. Il. Catlin, his
Cuiei Assistant; W. 5. Long, McEnereys
late Assistant Secretary OF State; L. j.
McArry, Chairman Of the Fusion Natur-

pered with before coming Into their hands.
and that they never signed or authorized
the signature of their names to the returns.
These statements, made, as they are, under
oath, cause no little consternat on and
excitement among the politicians Of the
State.

yesterday IN this city and county, as well as
in the other counties of the Territory, was
entirely devoid of political significance
The tickets were straight Republican and
Ci liens, or People, but the voters almost
entirely ignored parry and voted according
to personal preferences. Very few straight
ticSe Of either side were voted. Scratch.
ing was SO universal that the results will
not be definitely determined before noon.
The indications now are that a majority of
the Citizens candidates are elected to the
most Important county offices, while the
Legisl tive ticket is about equally divided.
The result is regard as defeat ofthe So
called Republican ting. The good order
prevailing is all attributed to the strict OBJ.
servauce of the liquor law, the saloons be-
ing all closed until after 6P. NJ.

ed the required tickets of admission at the
back entrance of the hall were not able to
obtain admission until nearly twelve. The
crus st the doors was tremendous when
the police finally got orders to throw them
open. 1t appears the delay arose from sift-
ing process by the committee on credentials.
At ten minutes past twelve 1t was announ-
ced By Rice to the impatient delegates that
the Committee wished to get through its
work shortly, but until then they must
wait. The Butler element here gave three
cheers for their favorite, in response to
