Appointments.

The President has made the following
appointments, which he has sent here
for confirmation: Isaac L. Mahon, to
be agent for the Chippewa Indians Of
Lake Superior; A. S. Newport, to be
postmaster at Millersville. Pa; Geo.
n. Taylor, of Texas, to be Consul at
Port Lewis, Texas; Felix Bransgan, to
be u. 8. Attorney, and r. Jalcom, U.
s. Marshall, for the Southern District
OF Mississippi. The President expects
to return home the latter part OF this
week.
Colonel McKenzie's report OF his at
tack recently on the Kickapoo and LII
pan Indians has reached War Depart
ment. General Sheridan in his en-
dorsement says: II do not believe that
any boundary should exist between the
United States and Mexico when we are
defending the lives OF our citizens and
protecting their property against the
merciless banditti to whom the name
OF murderer, robber or thief poorly ap.
plies as covering their acts. There can
be no just cause for disse lson, if the
lawful forces of either nation pursue
them for the purpose capturing or end
ing their deeds OF violence"

An ONCE Vacant.

There is government Office vacant
on the Plains, and some enterprisiug,
hungry politician. with thick skin,
ought to apply for it Immediately. 1t
is the office OF mail carrier between
Cheyenne and White Clay, and the dis
tance is one hundred and forty miles.
The pay is good, and the chances for
fame better. Mr.. I. F. Carter, the late
mail carrier on the route, became
famous, and it was in this wise: He
had two horses and light wagon, and
was thirty miles on his way from
Cheyenne when be heard a shot and
felt q bullet enter his neck. He lay
over iu his wagon, and his team COM
meuced running away, and more shots
came and peppered him and his wagon
and horse like hot hail storm. But
the team ran faster and faster, and the
baud OF Sioux, mounted on horses
fleet as the wind followed like 8
cloud full OF lightning. The mail
carrier was thus chased nine miles,
and his team ran into a camp Of
friendly Cheyenues. The storm ceased,
the Sioux were not strong enough for
the camp, and the Cheyennes projected
the weather.beaten carrier. The wagon
was as!full OF holes.as sieve and there
were nine separate and distinct bullets
in Cartefs limbs and body. The wagon
and horses were covered with blood
rsined by the FIRE storm. The Cheyen.
mes dressed Carter's wounds as well as
they could, and took him to Laramie
twenty miles distant where the balls
were extricated, all but one, which
could not be reached. Carter is rapidly
recovering, but has gone home to his
mother in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He
is young man, only twenty-one, but
has been FIVE years in the employ Of
the government as q scout He has
been carrying the mail but FIVE or six
days, having taken the place Of car
rier who was lately killed by the 1ndi-
ADS. 1t 10 not likely be will return to
the place when be gets well. A young
man OF strong constitution is needed for
il, and the position will be for life,if the
applicant quits. There is both money
and fame in it for an ofiee-seeker de-
sirous OF serving his country where his
country most needs msu. -. T.

We extract the following Neither
landish sketch from a late English pa.
per. 1t is q Dutch scene, whose word
painting is quite after the Dutch mans
ner-most minute and faithful. The
quaint, picturesque canal life is admir-
ably described:
Barge life on the Dutch canals is q
curious study. When young couple
marry, and cannot afford house rent
and other expenses Of life ashore, they
take to q life on the sewer wave. They
buy, beg, borrow, or rent barge, and
pass thesr time carrying slow nerchsn-
disc up and down the canals. Brown
earthenware pots, cucumbers, and mel
ons, are favorite sources Of income.
The barge lies close to the street you
can easily step in and out and make
your bargain. When cucumber falls
into the canal the trader will stop bus
iness, and spend twenty minutes
or more to spear it in the filthy
mud and fish it up. This is Dutch
thrift. I wonder who buys these
dropped cucumbersl One end OF the
barge is often tastefully fitted up like q
little house. Painted green and white
outside, the windows hung with clean
white blinds, trimmed sometimes with
q colored ribbon. Inside there are two
or three compartments, a fireplace,
paper on the walls, and a carpet; and
there is many worse place for q
honeymoon than the inside OF snug,
clean and commodious barge. On feast
days the barges are deserted, and every
one goes ashore. 1t is curious how
fond all Dutch people seem to be OF
walking around the streets. We doubt
whether any one is ever run over in
Amsterdam; there is nothing but an
omnibus or two to run over them.
High and low, young and old, towards
evening, especially on Sundays, en-

cial troops; late at night, alas noisy,
conviviai troops. They 60 to the mar
ket, they 60 back again; they 60 down
one side OF the Roken, and up the other
side. Then they crowd into the streets
full of fashionable shops, and crowd
out again; but the crowd is almost al
ways decorous."

The FrankinK Privilege.

Through the correspondence Of mem'
bers Of Congress relating to the prompt
dispatch OF their public documents be-
fore the last day Of June, it is learned
that there is very general opinion ex.
pressed that the fraukipg privilege,
in q modified form, will be re-enacted
before the Christmas recess Of next sea-
son. The franking privilege seems to
be one of those indispensable things
which must exists long as the present
immense amount OF public documents
are printed, and ss long as the people
are interested in knowing what their
government is doing. 1t is very ques-
tionable whether the people themselves
after q little experience, will submit
to the inconvenience OF being deprived
OF the government publications, such
as messages and documents. agricultu-
raj reports, &c, or, if they deere them
to the amount Of the postage, whether
they will be willing to submit to the
tax. A plan is proposed limiting the
privilege only to the mailing Of public
documents, the name Of the work to be
stamped on the wrapper. This, there
fore, would exclude correspondence,
quack advertisements, and the sending
OF dirty linen, presents and merchan-
disc free through the mail. The public
documents, though perhaps the bulki-
est, were really the least Of the evils.
Every one in any way connected with
Congress from time immemorial has
had free hand to frank any quantity
of envelopesj for himself and friends.
This was the rascally part Of the busi-
ness. There seems to be no question
but that some plan, as mentioned, al
ready largely occupies the attention OF
Congressman on this subject.

ONE year ago the Legislature OF Con-
necticut repealed the usury laws by q
vote OF one hundred and thirty-one to
forty.fve in the House and with only
one dissenting vote in the Senate. The
result has been a good one. Invests
ments of Connecticut capital in the west
have diminished in amount. Money has
been loaned more freely within the
State. Investors have preferred to have
their security-all other things being
equal-under their own eyes. Says the
New Haven Palladium, in reference to
fears that have recently been expressed
that the banks would put up their rates
to an extravsgsnt point:
ut is clear that il banks put up their
rates too high, in free and open mar
ket, they will have 10 recede from az
uutenable position. II they put their
rates higher than they are in adjoining
States money will be drawn here until
the rate is restored 10 its normal line in
this section OF the country. No one
can regard that as 9 calamity in any
point OF view. II, on the other hand,
money is worth s per cent. in Connect
cut, no law can keep it down. The
law may, by its interference, force loans
up to 9 per cent, OF else drive money
elsewhere for investment. 1t can do
nothing else.
