A little while ago the Rev. Smith, an apos-
tie of the peculiar doctrines of grab
and mobilier, was exposed in some pretty
unsavory transactions in the Indian bust
ness. OF course he WAS "vindicated"-ot
what use else the "great party?" But a
bolt has fallen in toe tabernacle of the fsish-
fal, and the Yindica.ion don't stand for so
much as it did. William Welsh, OF Phils-
delphia, selected by the president to scru-
tinizs the Indian commission, and a leader
among the Friends or the commonwealth,
has felt constrained to make known the re-
suits of his observations, and these results
are in perfect keeping with the general
course of profigacy marked out by the cor
ruptionists. AS the document comes iron
his own side of the house, the president car
not ignore or psrmit the culprits to bs open
| ~ whitewashed any further. The temper
ate tone of the writer, not less than his higf
personal integrity, give force to this reve
lation which no shutting pretexts can with
stand. The strong defensive letter which
the Rev. Commissioner f. B. Smith pub
lished some time since eyaporates into i'm
ralpable nist before the scorching vigor O

ANALYSIS OF A LOWER BAND IRCS ORE FROM
CLARKE COrTyTY. IND.

BY inspecting the above analysis 1t will
be seen that the Clarke county ores are very
similar to the Cleveland ores as regards the
quantity of iron, phosphorus and silica
which they contain, but the former are re-
markable on account of the manganese
which they contain. The Clarke county ore,
it is believed, can be roasted at the mines
and delivered at Indianapolis for considera-
bly, less than 81 per ton, and with five rail-
ways running TO the block coal field, which
lies fifty miles to the west of Indianapolis, q
fine opportunity is offered here for the erec-
ton of blast furnaces. In my reports have
frequently made the statement that the In
diana block coal will make an iron equal in
tensile strength to that which Is made
with charcoal from the same quality OF ore.
Though this statement seems almost incred
ible. yet the block coal pig has been thor
oughly tested at the Louisville rolling mills,
and Mr.. Coleman, president of the company,
assures me as regards the strength of the
iron he can detect no difference between that
made at the Iron Mountain charcoal fur
naces and the block coal blast furnaces OF
Indiana am also fully assured from my
own investigation that block coal can be
substituted for charcoal in the manufacture
of iron wire. These are facts OF the utmost
importance to iron masters, when it is borne
in mind that IL is the nearest available FOSSIL
fuel for smelling iron TO the great ore repos-
itories of Lake Superior and Missouri.

Utah which works against unity. Not only
Is polygamy indigenous to the soil, but
manifold Office holding has broken out.
Governor Woods, in special message to the

Probably some Of these men are ready to

of others. He also conveyed it to Mr.. A. II.
Wilder, who is involved in all the bargains,
for 81 10 per Thousand, when it is worth
three times that amount. This suindle has
been suspended by the secretary of the in
terror, and could also be defeated in the
courts of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Mr..
Welsh shows frauds in the contracts with
this same Wilder where corn has been sub
stituted for flour, barreled pork for bacon
and beef contracts sublet at great profits. A
voucher of 5000 was approved by Smith for
vile nostrum and charged in bill for
vaccine virus; extra pay of eigh. dollars a
day allowed an assistant whose salary and
expenses were paid by the government. A
clerk was paid Si5 per trip from Washington
to New York, where he went to spend
Sundays with his family. All these
specimen wrongs are placed in such clear
and positive light that no contradiction will
avail. Mr.. Welsh specifies facts only Of
which he has personal knowledge, and can
not be- mistaken. He has given his SER
vices without cost to the government in
looking after this chronic sink hole of Off,
cial corruption and outrage in the Indian
service. These things are not the fault of
the law, that is strict, but of officials, of men
who still continue to infest this part of the
public service. The letter will not fall life
less to the ground. When the board of Indian
commissioners meet, this state of things
mado public and undisputed can not be ig-
nored. Mr.. Welsh asks that the entire
management Of the Indian affairs be placed
in the control of the society of Friends who
have done much already and in whom he
feels the utmost confidence. By this course
he believes million dollars would 10 saved

BY vote which may be called unanimous
Mr.. Morrison r. Waite was yesterday con.
frmed chief justice of the creates tribunal
ment almost as great as the selection. The
action Of the senate was not of course in
tended to be understood as an indication Of
its judgment as to Mr.. Waite's prominent
fitness. It was rather the grateful relief OF
men who have been relieved from great bur
den and in return gave the first possible token
ofgratitude to the responsible author. While
the new chief justice does not equal in legal
requirements or judicial experience a hun
dred names well known to the people, he is
beyondquestion a capable jurist in the bet
tor sense of that term. He will be called
upon for some work of moment, it is true,
but his readiness in grasping the novel and
onerous duties of the Geneva commission
leave no doubt that what he lacks
In experience will be amply COM
pensated in that unmistakable faculty
which has in all conditions and
emergencies made him leader among his
fellows. The country will breathe sigh of
hearty relief that the bench has been pre-
served from the contamination of such cat
tie as the presidents well known prefer
elces led him to select. 1t would have been
an INCAPABLE shame to this generation to
have tolerated some of the creatures named
for the place-Morton, Conkling, Cushing,
Willisms-although it is only fair to say
that Conkling would have done all that great
talents can enable man to do to elevate
himself TO a'plsne with his place, and Cush-
ing would have left no stain of partisanship
or ignorance, as the others would inevitably
have done. If we can't have great men, we
should at least be satisfied with honest and
capable mediocrity, and that we have the
first is pretty sure, and the second can
scarcely be denied.

The Ohio senate yesterday passed a bill
with but one dissenting vote, to repeal what
is known as the Boesel railroad law, an ex-
treme act OF legislation for the control OF
railroads. 1t has not been attempted, preb-
ably, to enforce its pro- isions, and as a con-
vention is now in session to frame a new
constitution for the state, 1t is presumed that
the subject OF railroad legislation will be
covered by an organic law, as in the cases Of
ulinSis and PENNSYLVANIA.

INDIANA'S PLACE.

THE EXHIBIT OF HER MINERAL RESOURCES
SIGNIFICANT ANALYsIs-INDIANA's IRON.
Prof. Cox, In recent letter from this city
to the Iron World, made the following inter-
esting statements while discussing the ne
cessity Of State representation at the Phila-
delphia Centennial;- II expect to make full
display of the minerals of Indiana, and to
place the analysis with them, without which
much of their interest would be lost to those
who desire to learn their economical value.
1t is expected that other States will make their
display Just as completes; indeed, they can
not afford to fall behind in this matter In
speaking of iron ores, it may interest your
readers to learn that the survey has devel.
oped class of iron ores in Clarke and Floyd
counties, which bid fair to be of great value
to our State. 1t is an earthly carbonate of
iron, which occurs in bands four to ten
inches thick. AS many as nine bands
are seen in a vertical space of twenty feet,
separated from each other by two and half
to four feet of soft grey shale. The raw iron
contains from % to SO per cent. of iron, and
when calcined the per cent, will be increased
to IS to IS per cent. Though rather lean in
iron, they are comparatively rich in manga
nese. The protoxide of this metal ranges
from 211 TO IA per cent. in the specimens
analysed. The following analysis upper band
is here given, together with one of still
lower band and partial analysis of speci-
men of Cleveland iron stone from the north
of England. which brought home with me
from the minesin the Cleveland hills, twelve
miles from Middlebero:

Oliver did characteristic thing Tuesday.
Having bullied the Pinchbach scandal
through the committee and finding himself
alone, he presented his credentials to the
senate some weeks ago, demanding his adj
mission The senate with something of a
suspicion Of the case referred divers mo-
ton and Pinch didn't slip in so nicely as he
expected. Meantime the overthrow of Dur
ell has exposed the whole fabric so COM
pletely that even Oliver has been
obliged to back water, and he aston
ished the Senate by asking to have
the motion for Pinchback's admission re-
ferred. He did this under pretcnce that he
had received some new facts-got before the
Pinchback case came on. The whole bust
ness was exposed and the thetts and scan
dals of the colored claimant brought out
long before Pinchback came before the SEN
ate. Suppose that this So styled "leader OF the
senate" bad whipt his party spsniels into the
traces and Pinchback had been admitted?
Yet that was what Oliver demanded.

Where transportation begins and ends with.
in the boundaries of a state, congress has
nothing to do with it. But where the line
passes through different states, no state law
can regulate the commerce, and congress
can and must exercise its constitutional
right. The arguments of the report are
calm and judicial, which gives them a
higher claim for consideration.
