ency that Grant will accept the sixth term for

ter. Great goats Does he have an idea that
the President is going to live as long as him

As the investigation of the alleged Indian
frauds draws gradually to close it is rumored
that certain gentleman of scientific tenden-
cies, who has been exceedingly conspicuous In
the work, arises TO half-recl1ning posture at
midnight, and staring wildly at the pile Of
manuscript charges lying on the chamber
table, WI ich is made visible by the htful
CLEAN of the meagre gaslight, exclsims: "Hal
is this ghost / see before me, or is it some
imaginary vision, some wild phantasy of me
delirious brain, which hovers about me like a
night7jackass in me dreams, and surrounds me
like an aroused mother-in-law at me waking !"
and then sinking upon his pillow, he falls into
restless, feverish sleep, which isy The kind
that calls loudly for "a drink in tn orning."
Prof. Marsh might be excusedit the won
derful acceptability of his increduIity, he had
simply accepted the stories which were brought
to him voluntarily as to the irregularities of
the Indian service, but his testimony shows
that he went beyond the verge of propriety in
the procurement of come of his testimony.
For instance, Louis Richard, halfbreed, tes-
titled that Prof. Marsh Grounded him around"
to get him to sign statement il regard to the
delivery of certain lot of blankets; that
when he signed the statement he did not un-
derstaud IL, as it was afterwards explained to
him; that he could not read writing very well,
and Prof. NJ read it to him; that the Professor
finally got him pretty full of whisky and then
induced him TO sign it. Prof. Marsh himself
testified before the commission that he H.
vited Richard, with other half-breeds and
squaw men, to dine with him that there was
liquor at the table that Richard drank, and
that after dinner Richard signed the statement
about the blankets. Any one who knows an
Indians penchant for spirits will have some
charity for the ignorant man who yields under
such temptation, but what can be said in be-
half of man of distinguished scientific posi-
ton and reputation, who deliberately sets
about the task of putting q poor, ig-
norant halfbreei into q state of intoxica-
ton in order that he may procure from him
statement with which to destroy the reputa-
ton of honorable meni Can an instisEtion of
the high character of Yale College laRg bear
the weight of such a man in its faculty' Will
the fathers of the country entrust the education
of their sons in the hands of men capable of
such actions!

hate, then, indeed, would there be no
White League societies or Ku-Klux ban
ditti in those communities in which they
now exist where the negroes are greatly in
majority For then the effect of such dis
graceful proceedings would be to put the
lea taIionis in force, and to incite the ne
groes in fierce resentment to the same dark
and shameful practices as those from which
they suffer. Thus not only does the voice
of nature and history proclaim, but the
conduct of the white bandtti itself proves
the falsity of the charge that the negro is
anywhere an aggressor or insurrectionist.
