Prolific Indian Tribe,

We hear much said about the "noble red
man" disappearing before the march of civili-
cation, aud in some quarters predictions ara
freely bazsrded that in time he will become
eNtinct-pass away with the dOdo. Whatever
may be the case with other tribes, the Piute
has DO notion of passing away. 70 increase
and multiply appears TO be the first care aud
the great pride of the average adult Pluto. 1t
looks somewhat as if d" 10" were bound TO Oc-
cupy the land in case his prOductiveness shall
continue. The Piutes are q remarkably healthy
people. They are seldom sick, and we hear OF
very few deaths among them. The few who die
appear to die of old age. There appears to he
about one hundred births TO one death. Hardly
squaw that is over sixteen and under sixsy
years of age can be seen who has not papDooss
slung to her back, and some of them surpasS the
wife OF the martyred John Rodgers in evidences
Of prolifcness. The women do not appear to be
much addicted 70 twins, but the little ones
come marching along quite rapidly in single 6Ie.
The Piutes are certainly multiplying more
rapidly than any other people in the state.
Even astonishinglv Old women among them
bear children. "What shall be done with this
peOple?" will one of these DAYS be question
that must be answered in some way. The
women are viItuOus and the men temDerate,
and as long as they remain go there seems 10
be no Likelihood of their dying off, Among the
Piutes, 70 work is considered no disgrace, and
their biggest brave Is not ashamed to be seen
handling an axe or a saw. The women are
quite industrious, and the men are ALWAYS
ready to work when coin is shown them, Their
greatest vice and their ruling passion is gamb-
ling. They play among themselves, and when
they have money, cards are never ont of their
hands. All il now lovely with thess chill ireu
of the deserts, as they are not vet so numerous
but that the cast-off clothing OF the whites suf-
hces for all, male and female, great and small
and the cold victusls given away in all our
towns is more than enough to feed them, but
the time will come when this will not he the
{ ase. Then some place must be found and
: ONE provision made for 10, Mrs. Lo, and the
little Los Virginia City( Ner.) Enterprise.

NEW MYSTERY IN ERRMoNr.-A special
from st. Adams, VT, says: A new mystery b n
been added to the dark tragedy OF the murder
OF Mrs. Ball, near this place, on July 18th last,
Two gentlemen visiting the scene OF the mur-
der yesterday NOR ning were astonished TO find,
about six feet from the place where the BODY
was discovered, a new made grave, five and q
half feet long, two feet wide and two and half
feet deep, neatly excavated. Parties visited
the place on Sunday, and there were then no
traces of the excavation, the mysterious ap-
Pearsnce of which yesterday csnnot be ac-
counted for. Conjecture and excitement are
rife, and the authorities aroused % fresh
exertiops.

ANOTHER PERIPATETIC IDIoT.-Nr. Frede-
rick n. G, Brotherton, q veteran of 62 summers,
began his task of walking one thousand bslf
miles, In as many half hours, for a wager Of
$1,000, on last Monday af -ernoon, at 30 8I1
Paramount avenue. 1t is stated that this feat
has never before been attempted by any other
person, yet notwithstanding his old age, the

complish his undertaking. On the completion
OF one of his rounds yesterday afternoon, Mr..

THOSE MISSING BONDS.
AN EXPLANATION WANTED.

The Auditors and the Treasarer's annua
reports, ever since the war, have indicated
that there were certain State and city bonds
the property Of the State, that were missing
These bonds were either lost or stolen
/ There is no question about this fact.
An effort was made by Mr.. Peralta, when
Auditor, to recover these missing bonds
His efforts were arrested by gentle hint
from military headquarters to mind his own
business.
Subsequently Mr.. Weymouth, whose bust
ness is that of auditor and public account
ant, made an effort in the same direction,
but for want of aid and support from the
functonares who ran the State govern
ment, he could do nothing. Mr. Weymouth
having been appointed expert in the Wick
life impeachment case, became thereby
more or less familiar with the internal
workings of the Auditors office.
On being questioned by our reporter, he
says: ~ believe that could have recovered
those missing bonds had proper authority
been given me to take such steps as deem
ed necessary to be taken, but l could not
procure the required authority"
He further says on being questioned, tina;
he addressed note to Gov. Kellogg about one
year ago, asking to be commissioned with
authority to procure the aforesaid missing
bonds. His note was not answered, bu the
says the Governor reported verbally that he
had referred the letter to Auditor Clinton for
information, and that the Auditor had never
returned the communication. At the re-
quest of the Governor, Mr.. Weymouth
called on the Auditor respecting this matter
that officer.
Since the appointment Of the present As
sistant Attorney General, Mr.. Weymouth
addressed a note to that off ,er on the same
subject. This note was referred to the Au-
ditOr and no answer returned.
The Auditor says these bonds are in the
Treasury Department of the General Gov
eminent at Washington. ION being asked
how he knows that, he said that he collected
for the Government, willie Assistant Treas
urcr in this city, the interest coupons de-
tached from these identical bonds. But the
present Assistant Treasurer, Mr.. Flanders,
declares that there is no record in his office
that any such coupons were collected.
The face of these missing bonds added
together is $l24OOO. The interest accumu-
ting on them since 1862 does not fall short
of about 100000.
Sixty, five thousand dollars of these bonds
are city bonds, on which the city has paid
interest regularly, amounting to about
Sac, 900, since the bonds were stolen (D
Why, we ask Auditor Clinton, is he so
willing to screen the parties implicated in
this thefts

No CASEY IN ARKANsAs.-The New York
World rejoices that Casey, our Custom House
Jeems, is not in Arkansas at the present
time, and says:
We may fairly congratulate ourselves that
there is no Casey in Arkansas. If there had
been Mr.. Grant would have "seen his way Z"
and interfered. As Mr.. Grant cannot see
his way he does not interfere, and as non
interference is the duty incumbent on him
there is public gain. If there were only
a Casey to tell him which to cleave to of
the two factions into which the factious
part Of the population Of Arkansas is divi-
vided, how grateful Mr.. Grant would be.
As it is, with Baxter telegraphing into one
ear that Baxter is Grantsm, and Brooks
telegraphing into the other that Brooksism
is Grantism, and not single impartial in
speotor Of internal revenue to tell him
which is Grantism, Mr.. Grant really re-
sembles President, SO to speak, between
two paniers.

A GALLANT STRUGGLE.

Whatever may be the result Of the effor
the whito people Of this State are making t.
obtain a recognition of their rights by tn
Federal Government, it will be their salts
faction to know that they have made glo
rious struggle to that end. If they fail, a.
it is possible they may, to obtain that relie
they so earnestly desire and so justly merit
if the dominant party of Congress turns {
deaf ear to the appeals Of justice and right
if an entire State in the Union, in time O.
profound peace, is to be overawed by Fedora
bayonets, and its government protected and
maintained by Gatlin guns and the sabres
of dragons" then, we believe, will our de.
feat be shorn Of its sting and humiliation
and rather be converted into an element Of
destruction to the party that could perpe-
trate such palpable outrage and unpar-
donable injustice.
Our failure, in 50 good cause as we have
espoused, will carry with it the universal
condemnation of our judges, and will stamp
them with that obloquy and contempt
which belong to tyrants.
we nave uOne all ludu CoulU DC uoHc W
bring prominently before the world and
Congress the real political condition of
Louisiana. The outrages that have been
perpetrated upon the people, under the
sembance of law. have been distinctly
enumerated and clearly demonstrated. A
dignified, manly and honest protest has been
entered by patient and peacable people
against the load Of expressions that has
been heaped upon them by INSCRIPTIONS
men. Relief has been demanded in the
name of equity and common right. All re-
sources have been exhausted, and our
people feel now there is nothing more left
for them to do but patiently await the re-
suit, SO pregnant with Importance and so
vital to every interest of the State.
To Gov. McEnery and the Committee of
Seventy, who have so manfully and so per
sistently fought the battle Of the people,
before the world, in the halls of Congress
and in the courts of justice at home, too much
praise cannot be awarded. They are en-
titled to and have the gratitude of the
decent citizens of Louisiana for their yOeman
service in the cause OF peace, liberty and
justice.
Let us indulge the hope that their efforts
may yield abundant fruits Of success, and
that it may yet be their proud boast of
having vindlcated the honor and glory Of
louisiana

In the Council proceedings, as published
in the Tines are the following paragraphs:
Messrs. James Mcconnell and George s
Lacey presented bill for $4,000 as a retainer
and part compensation for services in the
abOve-named suit The petition was re-
ferred to q committee Of the whole.
A bill of $500 was also presented by
Messrs. Lacey & Butler for services rendered
ut the request Of the Administrators of FL
nance and Accounts in preparing an act to
secure the more efficient assessessment and
! collection Of municipal taxes. Referred to
Committee Of the Whole.
We can understand Mr. Mcconnell pre-
senting bill for legal services to the Coun-
Gil, but that the City Attorney, the paid en-
ploye Of the city, had a claim outside of his
salary is little puzzling.
fMr. Lacey's very liberal salary is INSULT
cient, it should be increased, but we object,
and the public will object, to his being paid
additional sums for services performed for
tho city. II Mr.. Lacey cannot afford to de-
vote his time for the pittance allowed him as
salary, it is just possible some very able law
.yers would be glad of the opportunity. The
amount allowed the City Attorneys Office is
large enough, r all conscience, and we can
not sec the necessity for employing the pri-
yate law firm of Messrs. Lacey 4 Butler to
prepare an act which should have been
drawn up in the City Attorneys Office. The
less tho private law firm alluded to is mixed
mp in city suits the better it will be for all
parties concerned.

are pleased to bear witness that its affairs
have ever been conducted on the most able
and liberal principles, and in manner also
calculated to inspire all who have done bust
ness with It, and tho public generally, with

The Pores HEALTH.-A Rome letter chats
pleasantly about the Pope's health, which
appears to have improved wonderfully.
All persons privileged to visit the sacred
precincts of the Vatican observe with won
der the florid and robust health of the Holy
Father. They contrast the POpe's present
condition with that in which he found him
self twelvemonth ago, precisely at this
same time of the year. Last April, they say,
the Pontiff, to all appearance, had barely
few months or, indeed, few weeks to live.
From one year to the other one would say
he has gone back into his better days by a
quarter of century. His bearing is very
upright and almost youthful; his cheeks are
rosy; his eyes are full of brightness which
is strikingly set off by his silver hair; his
voice is sOnorous and would reach far beyond
the Obelisk, if at Easter he would again
step on St. Peters balcony and bestow his
solemn benediction. His appetite is very
great, and his digestion is perfect. Almost
every day he goes down for long walks into
the Vatican Gardens, and he may be seen
sauntering about without cloak just as in
his chamber, with no other garment than his
white robe. He walks fast and briskly,
without the aid of stick, his Cardinals fol-
lowing him with difficulty. He has never
been so joyous, SO full of confidence in the
approaching restoration of the Temporal
Power. He is necessarily testing. His con-
versation sparkles with quips and cranks
and repartees.
