SENATOR w. B. ALLISON, chairman

SENATOR w. B. ALLISON, chairman
of the Black Hills Commission, ap-
pointed by the President to treat with
the Sioux for the cession of mining
privileges in the Black Hills reser-
walton, went to Chicago on Sunday
evening to meet the other members
OF the committee, and submit his re-
port, which he has had in prepare
ton for several weeks past. The re-
port is very elaborate, and contains
many suggestions as to our relations
with the Indians, and involving some
what the entire policy of the Govern
ment towards them. 1t also contains
several recommendations looking to
a change in the prevailing Indian
policy, together with somewhat elab-
crate data touching the relations now
existing between the Government
and the Indians. The present treaty
stipulations between the nation and
the Sioux are set forth, together with
the annual appropriations made in
their behalf by Congress. There
will be some establishment felt
throughout the country over the reel
ted facts of our re atoms to the trou-
blesonse tribes, and it will be found
that the Government has not only
performed its every engagement with
fidelity, but has also far exceeded all
obligation resting upon it in its con-
Germ for the savages. The recon-
mendations, it adopted, will tend to
change all this at an early day, and
will have reference quite as much to
the benefit of the Indians themselves,
now and in the future, as to a relief
of the Government from the heavy
burdens imposed by the present poll
cy. We are in possession of much
that is contained in the report, but
deem it improper to make it public
until the commission shall have pass
ed upon it. The Senator will be alb
sent until Thursday OF Friday.-Du-

SECRETARY CHANDLER is emphasi-
sing his administration of the affairs
of the Interior Department by the re-
moval and substitution Ct quite a
number of the clerks and employees
of the Department. The Democratic
press, of course, insist that these re-
movals are for political reasons, and
raise the usual cry about corrupt par
tisanship, just as though their own
party was not the first to act upon the
motto, to the victors belong the
spoils. But now comes Mr.. Chandler
himself, and denies that the removals
in the Pension office, and other bu-
reaus of his Department, are because
of the non-payment of political assess
ments, or for any political reason,
but that they were for cause in every
case. He furthermore offers to fur
nish the public the cause for removal
in each case if the aggreved parties
demand it. If they have been unjust
ly or corruptly misplaced, this gives
them a splendid opportunity for re-
dress, but it is not likely that any of
them will embrace it. 1t looks as if
the new Secretary was fourishing the
broom to some purpose in sweeping
out abuses and incompetency from
his department.

SnEEIFF's Fees. "A dispatch from
Des Moines says that the Supreme
Court of Iowa, in the case of the
Sheriff of Polk county vs.. the Board
Of Supervisors Of Polk county, suit
to recover fees that had been rejected
by the Board, decided the following
points That the Sheriff cannot
charge mileage for taking prisoners
from the Jail to the court room; that
he may charge for copies of each sub
pGna issued; that he is entitled to
the expenses of conveying prisoners
to and from the penltentiary, when
ordered there tor safe keeping before
trial; that the compensation fixed by
the Code is for his compensation,
and he is not compelled to pay any
expenses out Of it; for taking prison.
ers to the penltentiary and reform
school, lG cents mileage is allowed;
that the county must pay for all bal
lifts of courts who are appointed,
whatever the number; that no fee
can be charged for juries called by
deputies, as the Code provides fees
for Sheriff only; that in change of
venue cases where several prisoners
are removed to another county at the
same time, and the same conveyance
the Sheriff can tax but one mileage
and one fee for himself, and actual
expense of conveyance of prisoners,
and not mileage and fee for each
prisoner.

FROM the report of Superintendent

FROM the report of Superintendent
Pierce, the Davenport Democrat
learns that there are at present 100
children at the Home-69 boys and
40 girls. These children represent
81 families. But one of the present
number was a member of the Home
at It's commencement at Pennington.
Eighty-one have only mother living.
Seventeen have neither father or
mother. Five have only a father liy-
ing. Six have both parents living,
father disabled or deserted his family.
One of the fathers living is insane
Fourteen fathers enlisted in other
States. Two of the mothers have de-
serted the children. In the Cedar
Falls Home there are 1S9 children,
and for two years past there have
been but three deaths, while in the
Davenport Home, but one. Both
Homes are out of debt, and have
good supplies Of provisions and cloth
ing for the coming winter. The
Home has been established eleven
years and four months, and since that
time 1925 children have enjoyed its
benefits. Superintendent Pierce says:
"Dming the spring and summer OF
1876 there will be ten children to
leave the Home on account OF age,
and about the same number for other
reasons. During the summer of 1877
there will be twenty-five to leave on
account of age, and twenty-one in
1878. 1t seems to me that the num-
Der Of children will be SO few that it
will not be practicable to continue
this institution as Soldiers Orphans
Home longer than the fall of 1877.

The Keokuk Gate City speaks its
mind on one phase of the Senatorial
question without circumlocution or
evasion, and, to our mind, with adj
mirable pertinency and good sense.
1t says:
awe have said about all as to Mr..
Harlan's candidacy that we propose
to say, unless we change our minds a
good deal. We have no disposition
to do him any injustice. We recog-
nize his great abilities. We were as
proud as any Iowa Republican OF the
early, honest, and great part of his
career. But there seems to us indu-
bitable signs and proofs that in his
later career Mr.. Harlan, by his own
indefensible acts, became one of the
men that Republicans must set aside,
or the people will set the party aside.
We regret this, because Of his great
ability and his former deserved high
reputation, but that doesn't change
the situation"

Natural Beauty.

All cur moral feelings are so interviewer
with our intellectual powers that we can
not affect the one without in some degree
addressing the other; and in all high ideas
of beauty, it is more than probable that
much of the pleasure depends on delicate
and untraceaole perceptions of fitness,
propriety and relation, which are purely
intellectual, and through which we arrive
at our noblest ideas of what is commonly
and rightly called intellectual beauty
Ideas of beauty arc among the noblest
which can be presented to the mind, in
variable cSaltng and purifying it accord
ing to their degree and it would appear
that we are indebted to the Deity to be
constantly under their influence, because
there is not one single object in nature
which, to the rightly-perceiying mind,
does not present ali incidentally greater
number Of beautiful than of deformed
parts. -MonitOr.

HE Vinton Journal says: "Iowa
wants no man in the United States
Senate who has even the smell of
corruption resting on his skirts. She
wants no man there to whom the Of
fee or position would add distinc-
ton. She wants no man there who
has ever been suspected of connec-
ton with whisky rings, railroad rings,
Indian rings, or army rings" This
is we'll and truly said, though the
Journal proceeds to weaken it in the
next sentence, by naming among the
incumbents of the Office who have
established and maintained" high
standard, man very conspicuously
suspected of connection with railroad
and Indian rings.

THE Muscatine Journal sees pos
sibility of danger that the next Leg
islature, largely Republican and back
ed by sweeping party majority, may
be led to do some foolish and reck-
less things. 1t specially mentions
two things that it is possible may be
accomplished by the active interior
ence and aid of the Democratic mi
nority, both of which would be not
only detrimental to the interests of
the State, but would be suicidal III
party sense. The first is the repeal
Of the present railroad law, which,
the Journal presumes, will be at
tempted by the Democrats in the
Legislature, under the lead of Judge
Thayer, the ablest member of that
party in the Legislature, and a de-
clared foe of the law. The danger
is that, with Republican minority
to assist, this repeal may be affected
and our State handed back to the
control of the railroads, in which case
the Republicans would have to bear
all the blame, being in majority in
the Legislature. The other danger,
according to the Journal is that a
Senator may be elected whose record
is tainted with corruption. The Jour-
nal says:
We are sorry to see it assumed by
some of our Republican exchanges
that the recent Republican majority
of 32, 900 in this State means that the
Legislature may elect any one of the
numerous aspirants to the Wright
succession and the people will en-
dorse it. Those who thus presume
are "reckoning without their host"
The Republicans have maintained
their ascendancy in Iowa, not by en-
dorsing and defending salary grabs
and credit mobiliers, but by con-
demning and repudiating all who
have had anything to do with them.
They must show by their acts when
In power that they were in earnest
in these professions. Unless the Re
publican party is consistent in this
regard and is true also to its declara-
ton in favor Of protecting the agri-
cultural interests against the rapacity
Of railroad sharks, it cannot rely with
any degree of certainty on the peo-
pie giving it their endorsement at
the important election to take place
next year.
