the Rev. Indian Commissioner E. p
Smith was the occasion of q severe
shock to the dignity of thht sanctimOn
ious official and of his superior cfficer
the vlrtuOus DelInO. But it appears
that was not the first time that Smiths
reputation for truth and veracity had
been called in question by the untuto
r ed children of the forest. A CORE
spondent of the st. Paul Pioneer. Press
says that three years ago CommissiO-
ner Smith held an interview at Fort 4.
Lincoln with the Mandans, Gros Ven
tres, and Aricarees. in which while in
the midst of his palaver the chiefs
plumpIy told him that he lied, and re-
fused to entertain certain propositions
which he made to them unless he
would put his promise in writing

to Attorney General Harris and said
that the blood of twenty-five or thirty
negroes would benefit che Republican
part in the State. Col. Wells said
that he made this statemeI. upon the
written authority of one of the most

the State. Attorney General Harris

A LARGE number OF Oi1ice-holders
and politicians i'll Chicago are said to
have sent n letter to President Grant
asking him to accept denomination,
on the ground that the growth of in
fiatiOn sentiments creates an emergen-

could be, assured now of an unchanged
policy Oh the part of the Government
and steady adherence to hard money
ideas, and that nothing can give such
assuruLco bnt the denomination of
Grant. The idea hAs made some head
