After all the arrests that have been
made of persons supposed to belong to
the Bender family, who committed so
many murders in Kansas. all OF the
family are still at large. The persons
arrested in Utah recently as the elder
Bender. and who, it was reported, had
been satisfactorily identified, proves to
be demented old man by the name
of Kosh. The county attorney for
Labette county, Kansas, publishes a
description of the senior Bender, in
which the criminal is described as q
man having an intelligent countenance
and resembling in DO way the Migrants
SO frequently taken for members Jt the
Bender family. II adds that all the
Blenders, Notwithstanding their iendish
INJURIES, appear agreeable and pleasant
in their manners, and, as they are sup
piled with money, it is not likely that
they will be found acting the part OF
fools or Migrants.

Decrease OF the Negro POpu-
IatlOu.
III. V. Redfelfs Chattanooga letter
CINCINNATI Commerciall

III V. Redfelds Chattanooga letter in
CINCINNATI Commercially
FROM what observe OF the daily
lite Of the negroes, aud from careful
study of the mortality reports of the
Southern cities, | am led to the belief
that the census of 1880 will show a
decrease of the negro population OF
the Southern States at once significant
and startling.
In this city, for the mouth of May,
there were twenty three deaths, sixteen
of whom were negroes. AS they com
pose not above one third of the popu-
lation. i: follows that the death rate
among them was six times greater than
among the whites.
The cause OF this is their utter want
of care tor their offspring, and utter
disregard of the laws of health. 1t is
not q monstrous exaggeration to say
that they are as careless as so many
cattle. They have no fear of getting
wet, and will 60 about in wet or damp
clothing all day, and sleep IN the snme-
at night, il the weather is sufficiently
warm. without u thought that they are
numbering themselves by slow degrees.
| have often seen them stand about in
a rain storm, when they could easily
shelter themselves, but preferred the
cooling shower" | have also seen
them work until covered with perspi-
ration. and then deliberately lie down
in the shade aud 90 to sleep, with
stiff breeze blowing over them. To
demonstrate and warn them would be
TO get an answer that they were hot
and wanted to cool off The first
thought of a negro when warm is to
find a draught and get into it, uumind-
full that death reaps a rich harvest from
such performances. More people, both
black and white, are killed each YEAR
from finding good place to cool Off
when warm, and from going to sleep in
Il draught, than whisky kills.
There is not law of health that
the negroes do not violate with impu.
nifty, and the consequence is they have
not the endurance against disease /
possessed by the whites The great
bulk OF the victims of cholera aud /
smallpox in the South are negroes /
OF the deaths from cholera here last
summer, two thirds were negroes. The
medical men could not prevent them
rom eating watermelons, green peaches
lud all sorts of vegetable trash They
would eat aud then lie down and die with
cheerful resignation-eat poison in the
'ery face of death aud in spite of eve
y protest. The medical men here
know this to be true, and it is from
benz gather the Information.

Christianity and the Indian
RHEenH

a gain there is trouble in the camp
of our great Indian Department. The
peace policy" of the President has
suffered a severe blow in the very house
of its friends. Six out of nine of the
Indian Pence Commissioner have re-
signed in disgust. These six, too, are
the most religious, and most widely
kneyn members of the Commissioners :
Pennsylvania, Chairman OF the Com
mission, Willim f. Dodge, Of New
York, the distinguished, Christian meT-
chant, John V Farwell, Of Chicago,
and George II Stuart, of Philadelphia,
so long President of the Young Meu's
Christian Association. They have re
signed because of differences about the
powers of the Commissioners in audi
ting contracts, and closely supervising
the management of the Indian agen-
cieS The Interior Department il
seems would not permit this, unless the
Board OF Indian Commissioners could
act on all these matter in Washington.
This, it was declared by the Board,
they could not do with justice either
to an honest management OF the Indian
agencies or to their own private bust
ness. So they have thrown up their
commissions aud Withdrawn, alter four
or FIVE years experience, from their
official duties in Connection with the
Indians.

strong point: The pay aud perqui,

years Of his present term amount in
round figures to S462 900; those OF
President Lincoln during four years

years of Grant cost the country S26S,
