INDIAN AFFAIRS.

At last there is prospect OF An In
vestigation of Indian affairs as con-
Quoted by Secretary Delano and his
favorites. Professor Marsh, with a
number Of students and an escort Of
Government troops, visited Dakota In
the interest of science, and availed him.
self OF the opportunity to inquire into
the condition of Indian affairs In the
Northwest. He interviewed Red Cloud,
and learned his grievances, taking
pains to ascertain if they were well
founded. Upon his return to the
East the Professor briefly stated III a
letter to the President the wrongs COM
mitted upon the Indians under his
own observation during his visit to
their country. No notice was taken of
the matter by the authorities at Wash
ington, except to pronounce the
charges baseless and trivial. The press,
however, called for an Investigation, and
commission was appointed to make 1t.
Professor Marsh has been informed by
the Commissioner of Indian Affairs of
the existence of the Commission, and
invited to lay his statement before
them. In a letter to the President,
Professor Marsh says he is ready to do
SO when the Commission requests 1t,
but refuses to give his statement to the
Interior Department alone, for the toll
lowing reasons;
First-I have no confidence whatever
in the sincerity of the Secretary Of the
Interior or the Commissioner OF Indian
Affairs when they publicly announce
their wish aud determination to correct
the abuses III the Indian Infringement,
because l have reason to know that
| they have long been aware of these
abuses, and have made no sincere et-
fort to reform them.
Second-ln all my intercourse With
| these two officials their object has man
ifestly been 10 tind out, not SO much
extent of my Information concerning
| them, so as 10 prevent, by every means
III their power, all publicity or expos
ure OF them.
Third-The evidence now in my pos
session reflects unfayorably on both
Secretary Delano and Commissioner
Smith, and for these reasons | have
thought 1t best to lay before you, in ac-
cordance with my promise to Red
Cloud, my first communication.
A detailed statement accompanies
the letter, showing the frauds practiced
upon the Indians and the inferior quail
ity of the supplies furnished them, all
OF which indicate acknowledgement.
The willy Secretary has at last stirred
up a hornets nest which bids fair to

YESTERDAY we stated that Luigi
Baderacco, indicted for the murder of
Beal and McCreary at the Silver Age
ranch, near Austin, acknowledged in
open court that he had committed the
murder. The Rsveille of last Tuesday,
which came to hand last evening, says
that he entered plea of guilty of muir
der in the second degree, which was
accepted by the court. He was to have
been sentenced last Wednesday, and
the Reveille says it will hardly be less
than Imprisonment for life.

CHANGE OF TACTICS.

The Eureka Sentinel Of the 14th has
the following relative to the suit now
pending in the District Court here be-
tween Elko and Eureka counties: 1--WE
understand that Judge Wren, just prior
to his departure for the west, CON-
menced all action against Elko county,
which will bring the whole matter at
issue between the two counties directly
before the Supreme Court. The law
ceding Mineral Hill and Pine Valley to
this county provides that the Recorder
of Elko county shall transcribe all
records pertaining to the coded terri
tory for use in Eureka county, his COM
pensation therefor being fixed at one
half the usual rates allowed for record
ing and indexing such instruments.
This provision Of the law has never
been complied with by Elko's Re-
corder. and Judge Wren has com
menced mandamuS suit to COM
pei him to discharge his duty in
this regard. Elko's officials will of
course resist the proceedings and the
whole question will 90 at once to the
Supreme Court for final adjudication.
This is better for all concerned than the
-, Al. II.
Court, which could not possibly result
in anything decisive. Judge Wren will
probably argue the case before the Su-
preme Court during his sojourn in the
western part of the State, and a decis-
ion in relation to the vexed question
may be looked for at an early day"

The HeraId's Centennial Extra.

The fac-simile reproductions which APP

the day and the Boston dealers tele-

sovereign only from a sentiment of loyalty to
which he subjected his better judgment Our
own statesmen drew their most effective
weapons from the great armory Of English
rights and English freedom. Their cardinal
principle, that taxation and representation
went hand in hand, and that free people
could be taxed only by their own representa-
foundations of the English constitution.
Their resistance to illegal taxation proceeded
from the same spirit that stood out against
benevolences and ship money under the
Stuarts. Our fathers were imbued with the
sentiments of Sidney and Locke. The Declar-
alton of Independence repeats the views and
even borrows the phrases of Locke's cele-
brated treatise on government. We stood IN
our great struggle on the habeas corpus, on
the trial by jury, on the English common law,
on the great bulwarks OF English freedom.
We fought English oppression with English
ideas. The most illustrious of English
names-Hampden and Pym, Sidney and
Locke Of past generation, and Chatham,
Burke and Fox Of the generation then living
were the authorities which our fathers con-
stantly cited The whole body of the Eng
lish wings sympath'zed with us, and we were
really fighting an English battle against the
tories We borrowed the phraseology Of
English party contests, and stigma
tized as tories the recreant Ameri-
cans who sided with the mother
country. 1t was not q contest agaiust
English ideas, but contest against the tory
party and q tory king. The enlightened
public sentiment Of modern England long ago
decided that the colonists were in the right
and George III. in the wrong, even on sound
English principles. We rejoice that all the
orators at Lexington and Concord yesterday
recognized this truth, and that no word was
spoken which would obstruct full and free
participation Of the British people in our
great Centennial next year. The whole
British people long since Endorsed our resist
ance to the British Crown, as they are logi-
cally compelled to do by their pride in the
great statesmen and orators who took our
side in that struggle. Our centennial cele-
brations are, therefore, not reproach to the
English nation, but justification of the con-
fdence and admiration it unanimously be-
slows in this age on Hampden and Pym, on
Sidney and Locke, on Chatham. Burke and
Fox, the most illustrious names in British
history. We therefore hope to see full
British representation in the great Centennial
at Philadelphia next year.

The Women and the Concord centsu-
Mai.


The Centennial celebration at Concord and
Lexington yesterday did not give universal
satisfaction, the female suffragists resenting 1t
as commemoration of century's wrong to
woman. The ladies who met last night at
the Union League Theatre were particularly
ingenious in finding in this patriotic occasion
proof OF the injuries they endure. 1t was
eloquently pointed out that our fathers, the
heroes of the Revolution, fought for the grand
principle That taxation without representation
is an outrage upon human rights. Then the
startling fact was cited that of the money
raised by taxation to pay the expenses Of the
Concord celebration one-fifth was paid by
women who had no voice in the disposition of
their property.
That ttere are grave questions involved in
this complaint must be admitted, for taxation
is not a matter of sex, while representation
is. A woman may not vote tax, but she
must pay it. 1t would open an endless field
of discussion were we to inquire how far re-
sponsibility to the State is equally imposed
upon the sexes and how far prop
erty owner is disqualified by being a
woman. But did it ever strike these
fair Indies that their sex, in being
deprived of the ballot, is really paying tho
penalty of its greatness? The female sex
already possesses too much power, and if it
were allowed to vote would be irresistible.
Man, DESTROYS of retaining some privileges,
has seized upon the ballot box, and in this
tyranny pays woman the highest compliment
In his power. He palpably admits that he is
afraid to give any additional opportunity
OF reducing him to utter subjugation.
The ladies who spoke last night at the meet
ing, and compared their effort to obtain the
ballot with that of the brave men who fought
in the Revolution, should remember that
this makes some difference. We do not
regard Mrs Blake as o slave, though
she seems willing to be considered one,
nor Mrs. Westbrook as q victim of
oppression. One thing is encouraging, that,
although the ladies have resolved to urge
their claims and to resist taxation without
representation, they have agreed that this
shall not be done by an unnatural resort to
the cruel sacrifice of war. They intend to
depend solely upon reason, which has always
been the favorite and the most effective
weapon Of the sex.

The STREETS OF New York. The messen-
ger Of an iron company was robbed yesterday
afternoon Of three thousand five hundred dol
lars. He had been TO the bank, drawn the
money for the payment Of the employees, and
on his return was seized and stripped of the
amount by men, who, after committing the
daring act; jumped into a wagon and escaped.
We have no intention to hold the police re-
sponsible for all the robberies committed in
large city like New York. If we had a really
efficient and well managed police force a
pocketbook snatcher might occasionally ply
his vocation and escape. Apoliceman cannot
