The Eureka Seatiael, In spite OF Its
mania for announcing political candi-
dates. isa well edited ard generally
loyal Dsmseratic journal. 1t, howev-
or, has sufficient independence to not
only recognize but comment upon the
failure Of Its party In taking sides upon
the NEST prominent Issue now before
the American Congress, to-wlt: That
Of Government control Of Interstate
railroad traffic. We have heretofore
shown that although the Democratic
party has profsssed tho strongest and
warmest friendship for the Changers
aud their claims for the restriction Of
railroad monopolles, 1t cannot and will
not AS n party, even In the event OF OBJ
tanning control OF tho Government. do
anything to correct the abuses named.

which, carried out to its ultimate re-
suits, threatened and came very near
TO destroying the union Of these States,
Is still adhered to aud stands up, an I'M
passable wall, between tho sympathy

by tho producing classes OF this nation.
This was evidenced by the refusal OF
| the Democrats In the House OF Rep-
| re~sen,atiyes TO vote for the McCrary

because the Democratic party fai!ed TO
recognize tho need o! Congressional
legislation in this particular, bat be-
cause the bill before them tramplcd In

because 1t recognized the right aud

CURRENT TOPICS AT THE CAPITAL.


WARRINGTON Monday, March 8. 1874
The financial debate will be resumed in the Sen
ate tomorrow. When this debate was suspended
about two weeks nearly all of the Senators on
both sides of the question were ready to vote. All
Of the written speeches had been delivered except
one or two and the excitement Of the discussion,
combined with the probability that the aspect OF
the subject would change from day 10 day dIscour-
aged the preparation of new speeches; but dur'ng
the time that has intervcDed, there have been hive
days including Sundays. on which the Senate has
not been in session, and several other days when
there has been scarcely quorum OF Sena-
tors in their seats. From the reports about
the Senate to-day, is would seem that
the most of this time has been spent in writing new
speeches or revising old for again so that

EXAGGERATED REPORTS OF INDIAN TROUBLES.
Senator Tipton who returned this morning from a
visit to Nebraska says that the people of that State
are displeased that reports should have been gener

that State from hostile Indians The Indian trouble
in the West he saws, has been greatly exaggerated,
and there is really no more danger IN any Of the
settled portions of Nebraska than in the States

suspected 10y many'in Washington that there was

Of the National Government. Branches were Boon
established in all the principal cities of the South,
and also one in the City OF NewYork. These
branches are not authorized by the act of ineopora
ton. and not operating under State charters are ex
empted from the safeguards thrown around other
savings banks by State law. They are, in fact sub
ject TO no control supervision except that OF the
parent bank in Washington. There was no pro-
vision Of law for examination of the Affairs OF the
parent bank until 1s73 when general act was
passed authorizing the Controller of the Currency
to overhaul all the banks in Washington chartered
by Congress The branches OF the baDl are situated
at the following places

$4,000 in the New-York branch and the remainder
in the Southern branches, in sums ranging from
$1,000 TO $4,000. 1t is alleged that serious de-
faults have occurred in two on three of these
branches. Members OF the Committee express the
opinion that the branches should be brought under
the operation Of State laws in order to prevent the
