IT is well known that the Presidents favor
lite theory in regard 10 the Indians is TO in
cuce them to remove TO the Indian territory
where they will have the advantages of a
fine climate, fertile lands, and best of all, the
example Of a respectable fraction of their
own race struggling slowly but surely into
civilization. But the Indians do not take
kindly TO the proposition. Spotted Tail,
speaking for part OF the powerful Sioux
nation when in Washington last, said in
reply to the suggestion that they remove to
the Indian territory, elf this country you
speak Of is such a good country why don't
you send the white intelopers BLACK Hills
miEeTsl now in our country there and let US
alone?" In his talk to Oligario, chief of the
Mission Indians Of California, yesterday the
President urged that these Indians 60 to the
Indian territory. "HOw far away is this
country you speak of?- asked Oligario
When the President explained that they
would have 70 cross the big mountains and
by travelling day and night might reach
there In a week, Oligario replied that his
people would have none OF it, and to illus
tTate their reluctance to change their dwell
Ing place said that he once desired them 10
remove TO place within sight OF their
homes but they would not be induced to go.
II is pretty plain that IL Will be a slow pro-
cess to bring these wild Indians up TO the
point ofappreciatingt the advantages ofcivili-
zation and citizenship.

We have received the printed forn OF "a
Memorial to the Congress of the United
States, concerning the adjustment of the
Senate" The memorial makes out a very
sad condition Of national affairs, and thidks
tie remedy is in the adjustment of the Sem
ate, (which, not elected by the people, and
hence aTistocratic in its tendencies, has
slwas advanced the interest of the money,
railroad and manufacturing spectators
10 the prejudice of the common welfare.
The memorial further sets forth that the
Senate, besides being anti-democratic, is OF
itself superfuous, and ii is therefore re-
quested that an amendment to the constitu-
ton be laid before the people of the United
States, IN the proper form and manner pro-
POSING: THAT the Senate, "a mere copy OF
the aristocTatic House of Lords in England,
and other monarchies,) be abolished and its
privileges and duties-so far as they do not
become superfuous-be transferred to the
House of Representatives.
This form of memorial seems to have been
circulated pretty widely for signatures, and
perhaps when the petitions begin to come in
rext session, the Senate will see the force of
the reasoning, and promptly "come down.
and abdieate its aristocratic and superfluous
POWERS.

Apropos to Dr. Toner'S interesting chapter
IN yesterdays STAR upon the traces In the
west OF q former semi-civilized race, we
MD In the Maysville correspondence of the
Louisville C5,uieT-Josun0i the particulars OF
the recent discovery near that place Mays
ville), Of the remains Of an ancient macad-
amized road similar In Its character to the
one known to exist near Paramount, West
Virginia, and which was lately described In
the newspapers. 1t appears In the river
bank at an average depth of about six feet
below the surface, and continues along the
narrow strip OF bottom land at the foot of the
bills for distance Of I'VE or six miles, when
all trace Of 1t 10 lost, the current OF the river
having cut into the hills and entirely oblite-
rated It. Like the West Virginia road, the
stone Of which IL is formed seems to have
been burnt. Along the entire course, so far
as 1t has been traced, 1t Is observable in the
bank by a black substratum of ashes, which
seem TO be mixed with particles of green
stone, flint, and occasionally steatite. In
depth the broken stone varies from ten to
eighteen inches. The material employed
appears TO be boulders of red sandstone,
which must have been transported from
some distant part of the country, there being
but little IL any of that character of rock In
that neighbOrhood. In the vicinity of Cabin
Greek, five miles or more from Maysville,
the material seems to change; instead of the
red sandstone, a coarse white cheat, obtained
from the hills near by, being used. 1t is a
wonderful piece of workmanship, and is an
other trace of the lost race that once peopled
this continent long before the Indians came
into possession.

A correspondent writes TO us that while
coneeding fully the necessity, as a health
measure, for the establishment of public
urinals, that the one now erectei in the open
space In front Of the Bank OF Washington is
rather too public and conspicuous, ami he
suggests that its location be changed 10 the
shaded triangular space nea- by, or to the
market house side OF the Avenue. The sug-
gestion comes from an intelligent source,
and we refer il TO the Board OF Health for
their Consideration

George W. Blunt, the well-known con-
tributOr TO the New York EreJliag Post, has
recently been in Washington and sees a
great change for the better since a previous
visit. The streets, he says, are well paved +,
the city is well provided with sewers, and
the grounds around the Capitol, although
they are not finished, give the promise of
great beauty. "If they do steal there (of
which i give no opinion)," says Mr.. Blunt.
"they show something for it, which is more
than our thieves do here"

ecclesia ;ical punishment Invoked by him
He has div cursed the ground in which Gui-
bord Is buried, and as the friends of Guibord
don't seem 70 care much about the cursing
both parties can afford TO let the matter, and

WHISKY TRIALS.

! The trial of Mcdonald, eX.supcrvisor OF in.
ternal revenue at st. LOUIS for his connection
with the whisky riog, terminated in the L. ).
District Court at ST. LOUIS on Monday, the
Jury returning verdict of guilty on all the
counts. Indeed the only hope for Mcdonald,
as the trial progressed, was seen TO lie in the
possibility that some Of the jurymen had been
corrupted. The jury, however, seemed to be
all right and deliberated on their verdict
less than half an hour, Judge Treat, however,
declined to sentence Mcdonald until the rest
of the ring have been tried.
Vim. O. Avery, the clerk in the treasury
department at Washington who shared the
stealngs of the ring and gave them notice
when descent upon them by the government
detectives was threatened, was next arraigned
for trial, but the Indictment was found so de-
fective that the Judge suggested it would be
better to enter a nolle pros and have him in
dicted anew. After some consideration, how
ever, it was decided on Wednesday to 90 on
with the trial under the crippled Indictment
and Constance Mcgrue, the principal witness
against him, was put upon the stand Me
grue repeated his statement made on the Nc
Donald trial, that 500 week were set apart
by the ring for Avery, and afterwards 500 a
week, and that his service was to give timely
notice of all contemplated movements at
Washington against the ring, Such intorma-
ton was always regularly gwen by tele-
grams to Joyce, advising him, your friends
will leave on Monday parties are com
ing" &c.-meaning detectives.
In Milwaukee the trials commenced week
ago with what is called the Menominee dis.
tillery case If a conviction is the result, of
course there will many more follow.
In Chicago, where the ring is quite as ex-
tensiye as in st. Louis, but where fewer gov
eminent officials seem TO be involved, the
trials will commence in about two weeks
The indicted thus far are exclusively distil
lery owners ana rectitiers.

VIM B. Astor the son of the celebrated
John Jacob Astor, died at his home in New
York on Wednesday, in the S4th year of his
age. The general history of both father anJ
son is well known. John Jacob Astor, at his
death, was the wealthiest man and the great
est real estate owner in America, and his son
during his long life, but added to that grea
wealth, so that the fortune he leaves can only
be computed by millions. The son, however
in his declining days, manifested greater
liberality IN the use of his wealth than had
characterized the father, for his gifts to hi:
native. city and widely extended charities
were often on generous If not colossal
scale, the Astor Library alone, which is q
free gift to the city, and is open to all, alone
having cost over million Of dollars.
