promisef Not a shadow OIL it. They have
recommended exactly what the Indians De-
sought them not to. They have recommended
a territorial government whose executive snaii
be appointed by the President, ana whose
legislative body shall be chosen by the people,
In this recommendation there is an enormous
lob Al we'll as an outrage, and it is to prevent
it that We ask the attention of Congress.
The Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company
has rich land grant through the Indian ter
ritory. of which it will get possession so soon
as the Indian title is extinguished. But this
Indian title can only be extinguished by de-
stroying their tribal relations, and the estaD-
lishment of territorial government docs eA-
actly that. Suppose the recommendation OF
the Board passes and the government Is estaD-
lished, what will be the rcsutf Both the In
dams and the railroad company cannot have'
"hold, and possess" the same land at the
Same time. If the Indians hold the lands,
then the railroad has a just claim against TIE
Government for their value. Ii the railroad
gets the land the Indians will have an
equally good claim, because their title
will have been destroyed without their
consent; for they never have consented and
never will. Congress has simply given away
tract of land which the Government does
not own, and never can save by buying IL
from the Indians. If it votes now to estab-
lish territorial government, it must either
buy the land and present it to tho railroad
company, or it must pay the company Its
value. Before Congress takes that step 1t
should ascertain the full value of the land,
and also the manner in which the Atlantic
and Pacific Company obtained its grant.
And Secretary Delano. Did he not know OF
this grant when he appointed the Secretary and
Treasurer of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad
| Company President of the Board of Indian Com
missioners to decide upon the disposition OF the
very lands the Company has claims tot NO
man knows better than he that this question
of establishing a territorial government was
the very thing which the old Board OF Com
mssioners fought against during tho entire
period of their existence, and no man knows
better than he that he has filled up his new
Board with men who will do just what he
forced the honest men on the old Board INTO
resigning for not doing. Is Congress pre-
pared to aid in so transparent job we DO
not believe that ii Is.

A silver mine in New-Engand is not, as
rule, the kind of investment from which large
returns could be expected. but a letter which
we publish to-day describes one of extraor-
binary promise. There have been many
instances of discovery of the precious metals
in New-York, Rhode Island, and Massachu-
sets, but the invariable experience has been
that the cost of extraction continually in
creased, while the product in metal taDered
down. So far, the result in this Massachu-
sets minc seems to be the reverse OF the
usual record, but whether TIE glowing antici-
pations of the yield will be justified when the
excavations have proceeded further, is ques-
ton which even the biologists of the State
School of Technology are not competent to
decide. At all events, the discovery of silver
in Essex County, unless perhaps in the form
OF buried spoons, is an occasion for surprise
had it been brass, it would not havo been SO
ramlrkable

There's nothing half sweet in life rs loye's-as
the good old lady who always goes travelling with
choice collection Of gingerbread overshoes, pepper
mint drops, umbrellas, and cold tea. Her perform
ances are usually attended with breathless and
thrilling interest. An ancient dame Of this pleasing
sort last week engaged a berth in Pennsylvania
sleeping car adding TO its ordinary appointments an
elastic rubber bed of her own purchasing. The
berth was the stove, and by the time that good
old sou was wrapped in peaceful slumbers, the heat
had fatally expanded that rubber bed. There was a
tremendous explosion, and astonished old Lady
was suddenly sent up to the ceiling, with all her
baskets, bags, and umbrellas flying after her. She
will hereafter travel with less baggage

We have already invited attention to the
remarkable list of gentlemen who have seen
fit to hasten their taking of the oath of Office
at Albany with the apparent purpose OF avoid
ing the moro stringent requirements pre-
scribed by the amended Constitution. We
purpose to call attention to this list
again. In fact, We hope to make the
voters of the State very familiar with it.
Meantime We may suggest to gentlemen who
do not wish to be understood by the people
as having FASTENED tho taking of the
old oath because they did not dare
to take the new one, that there is
just one way in which they can relieve them
selves from that suspicion. 1t is by promptly
volunteering now to take the new oath also
II ID not thing about which they can afford
to lose much time.

The Captain General of Madrid, Primo dc Ri
vera. appears to have taken the most active part
in the Alfonsist conspiracy; but the probability
of its success is none the less certain on that
account. In regard to one questloh
of policy which is of interest IN
America, we are informed that the new
government desires to bring about
cordial understanding with the creoles OF
Cuba. There may be something very signiti-
cant in this declaration; but most likely 1t
means nothing at all. If Senior Jovellar had
been selected for the Colonial Department.
We might expect more ineligible treatment
of the Cuban question. As it is we can only
wait for further developments which possibly
may come via Havana

In the mass of rumors from Albany with
reference to the SenatOrship, there IS little
ground for prediction as TO the result OF
the impending contest. Our correspondent
attaches some weight to the reports Of com
bination of Republicans and boiling Demo-
Gratis with a view to making Senator Fenton
his own successor; bat Mr. Herman and ex-
Gov. Seymour are still the most prominent
candidates.
A good deal Of solid and useful information
has already been lodged with the Congress
sional Committee now investigating Louisiana
affairs; but the assertions of the carpet-bag-
gers as to the prevalence of a reign Of terror
over the negroes during the late campaign
are not borne out, even by tho testimony of
Republican witnesses. Ono thing, however,
has been clearly established, and that is that
any respectable voter, white or colored, was
fully justified in voting against the kellogg
party.

A Novel 1ootiack.

Major Rogers had been out shooting, and
had discharged all his guns, when an ele-
phant made charge at him from the
skirts of the jungle. There was no help for
it except to run, and for four hundred yards
the Major kept just ahead, feeling at every
step as If the animals trnnk was trying 10
twist itself about him. A turn round tree
gave him momentary advantage. which
he made the most of by springing up into
its branches. One foot higher, and he
would have been out of the elephants reach:
but before he had time to draw up his legs,
the elephat had got him firmly clenched in
the tolls OF his proboscis. Still Rogers
pulled against him, thinking it better TO
have his leg wrenched from the socket than
to fall back bodily into the animals power.
The struggle, however, didn't last long for
to the delight of the pursued and the cha
grin Of the pursuer, the Wellington boot,
which the former wore, slipped of. and
saved the life of poor Rogers. The dilem-
ma, however, did not end there; for the
elephant, finding himself balked of his
prey, ritter destroying the boot, took mp his
quarters beneath the branches, and kept his
anticipated victim in the tree for twenty
four hours, when the country post-man
happened to pass by. Rogers gave him no
tice of his position, and soon help came,
and the elephant was frightened away by
tomtoms and yelling. Had this occurred
in daserted part OF the jungle, the officer
must haze been starved to death in the

leaned upon bis elbow, in the blaze of a pit
tiIess stare, he brought 10 mind by his ter
rihle resemblance, the slaughtered Daci-
an whose thoughts were lar away with his
home and his little ones as his blood pat
tered Ike the last drops OF thunderstorm
er on the sands Of the Coliseum. Byron
should have been at my side to match his
"Dying Gladiator" with picture OF this
ruined and desperate man.
There has been nothing as vet so tragic
as the contemplation OF T,ilton by Beecher.
When his enemy rose TO take the vacant
chair, Beecher was whispering earnestly to
Judge Porter. The electric shock which
startled the audience violently broke short
that conversation. Looking up to see the
cause OF it, Beecher found himself face to
face with Til,on. For moment
THE FASCINATION sTUPEFIED HIN.
He grew paler, and paler, and paler, until
he was whittier than he will be when he lies
dead. The change from his usual redness
to worse than mortal paleness was indie
scribable. lie looked as if with one huge
gulp his heart had swallowed every drop OF
blood in his body, and then had as If he
were peering in a looking-glass and found
Death grinning over his shoulder. The ap-
partition Of his accuser was a stupeadous
surprise, and, for an instant, it pstriiied
him. His recovery was slow. The shock
unnerved him, and he could not escape
Tilton's haunting eyes unless he closed his
own. Innocent or guilty, with those re-
lentless orbs blistering his heart, any man
would have been in agony. Tilton did not
look at Beecher. He looked into him, as if
his body were nebulous, with one tortur
able spot in the centre, which 'the moon
freezing crystal" Of his sight could pierce
like an internal pang.
Mrs. Beecher wok with start, and be-
held the man whom she probably
HATES WORSE THAN ALL THE WORLD.
Her drowsiness vanished like gossamer,
and she became once more the incarnation
Of scornfnl lathing. Her cruel eyes fastened
upon the wreck which her husband is
charged with making, and if any emotion
other than hatred quickened her pulse, it
pleasure at beholding the spectacle of his
desolation.
