Generals officer, as it WAS called with
curious sarcasm, the Department OF Justice
was in progress. The lioa. Charles Hays,
ncmber of Congress from Alabama, had
written to Gen. j. Il. lIawley of Con-
necticat long letter containing ac-
counts of Outrages upon negroes and
white Republicans in Alabama which fairly
made ones hair stand Oh end. Gen. Hawlcy had
attached to this blood and thunder narrative
his own voucher for Mr.. Hays's sincerity and
truthfulness, and his high character as q gem
tenlan, and the thrilling tale went flying
through the North as convincing argument
that the South was still unrepentant and dis
LOYAL, and that the success of the Administers
ton party was necessary to prevent the
reversal of tho results of the war. Supple

On the whole, we are inclined TO think that
Gen. B'adley, whose testimony Is reported in
our Camp 1Yctcher correspondence, is about
the most satisfactory witness yet examined by
the Indian Commission now in Wyoming.
Gen. Bradley speaks dipas5icnatoly Of what
he has seen bearing upon the subject undor
Investigation, spaiing neither In'iian nor In
dian Agent; and the report Of his OBJ
servaio,s makes the ease of the latter quite
as black as it has been painted by
Pref. Marsh and Nr. Welsh. But tho
Commissioners very properly dill not confine
their questions to the wtncsS's personal knowl-
edge. They sought to utilize his eight years
cxUeIicnce among the IboianS by oliciting sug-
pc.tions az 10 how the Government ought to
deal with this knotty Indian problem. Gen.
Hradloys replies show that he is man OF
GOOD common scGsc, honorable instincts, and
businpSs habits The fault of the present sys
tenn lies quito as much with the Govern
mcnt as with the contractor; in fact more,
for the Government ought to have the con-
tractors in subieciicn. There has been too
much negligence, be urges, on the part Of
Government agents and other employees; the
agents seem to think that il does not matter
much whether the Indians are fed to-day or
to-poirow. The remedy is to be found i'll
more vi3ilant supervision of the distribution
Of supplies. "No man in railroad or bank
ing Office, or in the army says Gen.
Bradley, "hns the exclusive handling
"of so large an amount of money
without some check, SO that if I've should be
" dishonest it would soon be discovered" This
intelligent witness has thus compressed the
whole case in nutshell. His proposition is
identical with that repeatedly expressed by
The TRIBUNE in treating of this subject and
its force cannot be resisted by any person of
fair business capacity. There is a serious
question however, as to whether such checks
are available so long as our Indian af
fairs arc in the hands Of the Ring ridden

A call issued by the Hon. Moses w. Field
reminds the country that there is to he Il con-
vocation of the sufferers from the grccuback
mania in Detroit on Wednesday OF next week.
Mr.. Field evidently believes that all existing
Ills may be cured by a liberal issue OF paper
money, and therefore invites anybody who is
dissatisfied with anything 10 join in this dean
onstration. The time between the publication
of the call and the day appointed for the
meeting of the Convention is short, and those
who are disposed to follow Mr.. Field must
fali in line quickly. 1t is promised that Mr.
Kelley of Pennsylvania and Mr.. Carpenter Of
Wisconsin will be present to speak for soft
money, and letter printed to-day indicates
that Gen. Butler might bo induced to shine in
the same galaxy.

The action of the Canal Board yesterday. al
though not as decisive as some OF the most
Jealous friends Of Reform may wish, was a
gopd beginning. Resolutions we4e adopted
citing Resident EagiDccr Babcock and Dbl
vision Engineer Yates Of the Eastern Division
to appear at the next meeting OF the Board TO
show cause why they shall not be removed
from office. In the mean time these gentle
men are suspended. 1t WIS perhaps 10 more
than fair to give the accused officers OPP
portunity to explain their shortcomings, while
the case against them is made out SO clearly by
the Canal Commission that the public i'll
torests demanded that they should be at once
relieved OF their official trusts. There can be
10 dorbt that removal will follow suspension
in due time, and Secretary Willers has hit the
nall on The head in proposing a complete re-
organization of the Engineer service on the
canals.

Parker, as now seems probable, manages to
escape punishment for his crimes. After the

Yet we now hear that he has been released

A question of veracity was raised yesterday
before the Legislative ComEittco Oh Quaran-
tine and Emigration. Mr.. Daniel Mauicr, one
Of the Commissioners of Emigration, declared
that the politics of employees were not taken
into account in their appointment or removal.
Immediately after Mr.. MarGer came Mr.. Bcr-
rard Cnsserly, who testified that he was re-
moved from the Office of Superintendent be-
cause the Custom-house demanded his head.
Mr.. Casserly went further, stating that under
the former Board clerks were required to make
regular contributions 10 election expenses, and
that as each man received his salary he was
expected to make subscription toward this
object. The Committee would do well TO seek
other testimony bearing on the subject thus
broachcd.

One branch of the litigation in regard to the
New York and Oswego Midland RairOad-the
contest between certain local tax x-gatherers and
the receivers of the road-was ended yesterday.
Judge Blatchford, in the United States Circuit
Court in dissolving the temporary injunctions
which restrained the town officers from enforc-
ing their demands. spoke very strongly of the
importance of regularity and strictness in the
collection of taxes, with view to preserving
the credit of the State. The main point ef his
decision was that there is no sound principle
which cxempts property in q receivers hands,
pending a sait, from the operation Of tax laws.

CALWoRNfA NiNEYARDs.- There are fifty
thousand acres of vineyards in California,
and no less than eight million acres are be
licyed to be adapted to vine culture. The
yield is from ten to fifteen tons of grapes per
acre, which have sold at $40 per ton. or at
500 and $50 per acre as the minimum re-
turn for wine making, while for table pur-
poses greater returns are made The wine
manufacture suffers in competition with
French wines from the lack Of known brands.
II the soil and climate Of California are. as
is claimed, as well adapted TO this industry
as those of France, there is an almost uulim.
tied possibility of the development Of the
vine culture in that state. France with her
five million acres Of vineyards, produces an
nually wines to the value Of $3iS,0O0, 900. or
nearly twice the value Of the entire wheat
crop Of the United States in average seasons.
The wheat crop Of California averages Sl5
per acre, and the grape crop of France, 500
per acre.

DEsERTIoNs FROM THE ARMY - The
Army and Nary journal says that fully one
half of the recruits for the army, enlisted in
the last six or eight years, have deserted
There has been great improvement, how
ever, in the past two years, under the paw
billof 1872, by which length of service works
an increase Of pay, such increase being re-
tanned by the government as a trust fund
to be paid over with interest on honorable
discharge, or to be forfeited by desertion.
BY the same law, soldiers are allowed to leave
any portion of their wages on deposit with
paymasters, the government guaranteeing
the security The deposits under this law
were s2O9S5O the first year. and s3lG,G09
the second. In the meantime, desertions
have been greatly reduced in frequency. The
Journal argues that the recruiting offices
would secure a better class of men if they
were removed from the cities to the rural
districts

CHARLIE Ross.-The mystery still hang
ing about the fate Of poor little Charlie
Ross still remains unsolved The opinion
is gathering strength that the child is either
dead, or that some other motive than the de-
sire of gain, as yet unknown, controls those
who have him secreted. More than twenty
thousand dollars have been expended in the
search which has extended across the CONT
nent from ocean to ocean The printing
and photography alone have cost eight thous-
and dollars, rs many rs seven hundred thou
sand cirdulars having been issued. The
correspondence has given employment to
corps of clerks (; two hundred bands of gy1-
sizes have heen searched, and one stray boy
has been found and taken home to his
mourning parents. No less than six hun
dred Charlie Rosses have been reported.
and at least five hundred thousand persons,
at one time or another have been on the
search. These statistics are surprising. and
the more so when we reflect that no result
has beeu attained. No wonder the detect
ives believe he is dead, or else in charge of
some recluse who has never heard of the
case The sympathes of many thousands
Of hearts have been enlisted by the mystery
which envelops the fate Of this child, and
his recovery would cause general rejoicing
all over the country.

STILL Al WORK.-The Woman's State
Temperance Union" of Massachusetts, have
commenced series of meetings in the state
to be held in the different cities, hoping to
engage earnest women in systematic work.
A meeting of this kind was held in Fitch
burg, on Thursday of last week. Mrs.
Clifford, of Worcester, presided. From the
reports given it appears that the methods of
work follow no prescribed plan. While in
some cities saloon visiting has been prac.
tised, in Others interest has been awakened
by frequent mass meetings under the direc-
ton of some Christian woman. Personal
visiting and personal appeal have been tried
in other places. These women hope "by all
means to save some" from the spirit of evil

Gen. H. II Baxter and Senator Stewart Of

AcconpiNG to a cable dispatch, the Lon
don Times takes a very gloomy view Of az
fairs in Europe, aud seems to be impressed
with the idea that general war is imminent.
1t says that Germany is arming en- masse,
and the surrounding nations are compelled
to initiate her example.
TnE Brooklyn city courts have monthly
terms, aud the term cannot be extended
beyond the month. 1t is thought the Tilton-
Bcecher trial cannot be more than half COM
pleted within the time prescribed for a

a special act extended the term.
