Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1875-07-17

ACCORDING to the Washington CORES
pondent af the Chicago Times, MI. Barber,
the Third Assistant Postmaster Gener-
al, estimates the loss to the government
through washed stamps at one million
dollars annually, or five per cent. OF the
receipts of the receipts of the depart
ment from it's sale of stamps. Mr.. Bar
Der says that European countries are
yictimized in the same way. The state
ment that the loss is as great as reported
seems almost incredible, and calls for the
exercise of the utmost ingenuity on the
part of the government officials to the
end that stop be put to the petty
thieving.
Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1875-07-17

THE detroit Post says that Congress
will be asked, at its next session, to
make an appropriation for an exhibition
of live savages at the Philadelphia Cen
tennial. The proposition is to select a
family of four or five individuals from
each tribe of Indians, and make special
reservation for them in the Philadelphia
Park, where they will pitch their tents,
fish, hunt, cook. eat, and go through all
routine of savage life in the presence of
assembled Christendom, To give the
show an air of reality we suppose ponies
and beef cattle will be driven up con-
veniently for stealing every morning,
and daily details be made. from the CITY
hospitals for scalping purposes. The
moral effect of the exhibition will, how
ever, be quite lost unless there is also
exposed to the worlds wonder gen
uine Indian agent with his little gov
ernment scales and rations, and Yale
professor, or two, to explain what it all
means.

For several years past have been subject to

cnrresnOndent Of tho Chjcauo

A correspondent OF the Chicago
Inter Ocean writing from Vicksburg,
NJ iss., describes at length the mob
ding Of the independence Day meeting
at that place on the 5th Of July.
There was no provocatiOn whatever.
The meeting assembled at the Court
House, and was composed largely of
negroes. Speeches were being made
when a file of white men entered the
room and arranged themselves in q
line along on one side. At signal
they presented their revolvers and
ordered the meeting to disperse. The
colored people became panic stricken
and rushed for the door and windows,
some jumping twenty five feet to the
ground. Soon the alarm bells began
to ring and armed men came running
from every direction. The signal was
again given and Il hundred shots were
fired upon the poor helpless negroes,
two OF whom were killed and others
wounded. This correspondent Of the
Inter- Ocean advances an idea we had
not thought of before. He says the
object of the South is to obtain con-
troll of all the Southern States, aud
then with their increased representa-
ton owing to the negroes being added
to the voting population, they entire
ly controlling them, will give them
nearly double the strength in Con-
gress ever possessed by them before,
and then they will wipe out the dis
grace and loss Of their defeat on the
battle field. Topeka Blade.
