Saturday last, in N. T., Judge Davis SEN
fenced VIM. NJ. Tweed to II years i'm
prisoament and u fine of twelve thousand
seven hundred and fifty dollars. 1t is a
righteous judgment, and it is to be hoped
will stand the test of the bill of exceptions
which, Tweeds counsel are preparing

Judges Pratt and Ingraham respectively
for stay of proceedings, but both refused
to grant it, and Tweed, who had previously
beea at large in custody of the Sheriff 5

The condition of affairs in the Indian Ter
ritcry is deplorable in the extreme. The
lawless ruffians that infest the frontier find
an immunity from punishment that en-
courages them in their depredaticns and
In the commission of the most atrocious
crimes. Since the withdrawal of the
United States Marshals from the Territory,
aasassinatiOns have averaged twenty per
month, and none of the criminals have
been brought TO justice. On Friday night
Greek Indian, farmer and stock dealer,
was robbed of $50, 900, mostly in gold and
silver, by three white men Torture could
not make him reveal the place of conceal
ment of the money, and it was only when
they would have hung his wife that he de-
livercd it up. The Indian Agent declares
that the interference of Congress is abso-
lutely necessary TO protect the lives and
property Of those peaceful tribes. 1t is
sad to think that while the whole nation
buras with indignation at the cruelties
practiced towards the Cubans by foreign
nation, tAat even under the broad @gis Of
our Own sovereignty the peace and dignity
OF tbe patton is affroptcd by such atroci-
