\ Wal GoyERYEp SrATE.-General
Ames, the earpet-bag Governor Of
Mississippi, is frequently absent from
The State, I fact which \. K. Davis,
tle negro Lieutenant. Governor in
proves for the purpose Of maguifying
his office. Il was while Ames was
away ,lat Davis took advantage Of
his authority as acting Governor to
pardon q msn ramed Barrentiue, who
had brutality murdered helpless
woman in the presence Of her i've
1aiherless children, It is said that
there was ample proof TO secure the
conviction of the murderer but
Davis, without waiting for such q
iorna.tty, PAidonei him before he was
even trled, Il has been repeated :
asserted in the newspapers of MisSis
siPp! that the paIlry sum of s450 was
the consideration which induced Davis
TO grant this pardon The last freak
OF tins remarkable official is q proela-

Ames, calling the legislature together

PLAIN AS DAYLIGHT-It Is as plain
as daylight, exclaims the Louisville
Courier Journal. Grant still has i'm
perial dreams. CRSarism in America
has played out. The third term spooh
has vanished. So the President sends
his friend Steinberger of to hunt a
kingdom for Ulysses to retire to at the
expiration of bis term of office. Stein
berger finds the Samoan Islands. lie
occupies and possesses these. lie or
ders a revolution. He establishes a
kingdom. lie causes a king to be
elected for four years, and himself to
be chosen Prime Minister for life.
When the four years expire, Grant
will step in and occupy the throne

ful Steinberger.

RELIators IsplAH AoEsTs-The plan
Of iutrusling the selection OF Indian
agents to organized religious bodies,
while it has not resulted in improving
the spiritual condition Of the Indians,
has certainly had most demoralizing
effect upon Tire agents. These, it is
to be presumed. were generally chosen
mainly on account Of their piety, and
yet their !ntercQdrse with tie " Indian
ring" or some other cause, seems
often % have wrought a most perui-
oious change Ia their characters; for
il is certain that rascalities in the In
dian service zaye never been more fre-
quent or hagrant than since the relig-
ious belief of candidates for agencies
has come To be considered among their
qualifications for office. The Wash
ington correspondent of the Boston
Post says that Gen. Army, The agent
of the Navajo Indians, Of New Mexi-
co, If now in that city to answer serI
Gus charges preferred against him 10y
the Indians. These charges were first
referred to DR.. Lowery, Secretary of
the Presbyterian Bord Of Home Mis-
sions-a body which controls the ap-
poinlment of agents for the tribes in
New Mexico-and the board has al
ready requested Gen. Arny's resigna,
ton. The principal charge against
him is that be fraudulently obtained
their consent to an arrangement by
which a portion Of their territory was
celed away iu exchange for other ter
ritory, which contains nothing but
mountains and canyons, the exchange
having been made for the benefit OF a
company of San Francisco specUlators.
The complaints of the Indians are
by testimony from army
officers who are conyersant with the
facts.

THE FALL RIVER STRIKEs.-There
are fifteen thousand operatives on
strike at Fall river. They knocked
off work week ago, because the
manufacturers announced 6 slight re-
duction in wages, consequent upon
trade depression. 1t does not seem
probable that the present strike will
last as long as some previous ones,
however, for the store keepers, grown
wise by experience, have resolutely
refused TO give the strikers credit for
provisions and other necessarieS, giving
notice that if the help can afford TO
take a vacation of thirty days, they
can pay cash for their goods, and
that no credit will be given until they
return to their work. There IS q good
deal Of sound common sense about
that proposal In, and if it had been
adopted some years ago strikes would
perhaps not have been so frequent. 1t
does not, however, follow that the
hands are without recourse. Judging
from the number of them it is not i'm
probable that they control the local
government; 10 which case they would
be able to call upon the board Of
supervisors 10 levy special tax upon
the employers, for the support Of des-
titute persons. Strange as such pro-
ceediDg may appear, it has become
quite common in the mining regions
Of Pennsylvania, and indeed in many
other places where there are but two
classes-labor and capital the former
possessing all the votes, and the latter
all the money. The condition Of
" "bloated mOnOpoliStS under such a
state Of things may be imagined.
They are not only compelled to sup
port strikes against themselves, but
are made to pay for whatever public
buildings or works of general utility
may be required in the neighborhood.
The ballot decidedly compIicates
things in cases of this kind, and labor
quite frequently succeeds in making
capitals life burden to it.

THE marriage of DR.. Livingstone's

CRIME IN New Y0RK.-The New
Herald recently inquired, " Have We
any laws in this city 2" and Judging
from the statements of the New York
press generally, it is perhaps open TO
doubt. Burglaries, murders, arsons,
crimes of violence of all descriptions,
were never so rife, and the police is
apparently in league with the thieves,
OF else quite incompetent, for it never
detects crime or arrests a criminal.
The thieves are so emboldenei that
they no longer await the coming Of
the night TO perpetrate their outrages,
but walk boldly into the houses in
in broad day, gag or knock down the
inmates, plunder the place, and de-
camp at their leisure. \ recent in
quiry into the condition Of the police
force by 4 legislative commission re-
vtoIed almost incredible unfitness and
worth. .essneSs among the officers.
There Wee men calling themselves
detectives whL had never made an ar
rest, who were ignorant of the law.
and who did not even know the off
GERS Of their own divisions. Other
captains were strongly suspected, Of
taking brides TO wink at the establish.
ment of "panel" houses in their dis
trictS. Nowhere was there evidence
Of any regard for the security of the
public. The press Of the city seems
to be almost in despair. The nunici.
pal government potters along, corrupt,
feeble and distracted. The thieves
grow more and more audacious from
week to week, and the police are not
worth their salt. What the end will
be it is impossible to conjecture, bat
certainly the state Of affairs bear 4
suggestive resemblance to that Of San
Francisco previous to the formation Of
the vigilance committee.

OREGON WHEAT CROP.-Ilarvesting
is fully under way in Oregon, and sut-
ficieut returns have been received 10
fix the yield of wheat as compared
with that of last year. According to
the published reports, taking the
Umpqua and Willamette valleys as
a whole, the yield will be more than
last year, but not as much as was
claimed it would be some lime ago.
The breadth of fall sown wheat was
all of two-ifths more than the pre-
vious year, and although considerable
was reported frozen out still the loss
was far below reports given. Spring
seeding was not as great as heretofore,
but, taking fall and spring together,
the average seeded was more, and the
increased yield Of fall makes good the
deficiency in spring. The quality Is
proving up 10 the average.

EGYPT has abandoned the friendship
of France 10 place herself under the
protection of Germany. This Is an
other victory for Berlin diplomacy,
but it is an act of questionable wis
dom on the part Of the khedive.
Other nations besides France have an
interest in keeping Germany out of
the Mediterranean, and in case Of
trouble the Egyntian ally of Germany
would be likely TO receive severe
handling, whatever the ultimate issue
Of the struggle between the principal
powers might be.

THERE is a man in Paris, named
Ducasset, who saw the head Of Nor
eau, the murderer, when it fell from
the knife of the guillotine into the
basket. He has seen it ever since
sometimes falling, sometimes going
up. Lately several other heads have
joined it. They bounce against one
another all around him, and come
plump into his face, and feel cold and
diSagreeable. He has been taken into
custody, and deprived of his liquor.

observation-disclosures Solomon,
the " safe operator" is making radI-
cal speeches in California, and as usu-
al with carpet bsggers, the burden OF
his song is the inappeasable blood
thirstness of the Southern people TO-
wards Northern men and negroes, and
their Interchangeable determination to
inaucurate another civil war. In pur-
suance of the selected programme GoV.
Solomon seeks TO fire the radical
hearts in California with narratives OF
sanguinary deeds done by the unre-
constructed rebels" which owe their
nativity to the corruptly fertile brains
of the promulgators of such tancItui
untruths. Some of the unSugared
falsehoods, have proven too strong for
the digestion or retention OF radical
stomachs, as the following paragraph,
extracted from the columns OF that
champion of advanced radicalism, the
Sacramento Record- Union, clearly
shows. 1t reads thus:
Governor Salomon addressed republican
meeting in San FranciacO the other evening,
and refreshed his audience with all the good
old references TO bloody-minded South,
the necessity Of force bills, bayOnets, and so
forth. and so on. Governor Solomon may
not be aware of the fact, but really this kind
Of talk is going out of fashion rapidly, aud
it fails to make votes even in so remote a
region az California In the Eastern and
Western States they have qnite left off these
references. Even the Chicago Itey OteGa
has abandoned the fear Of another rebellion,
and is devoting itself with misdirected zeal
TO defence of the protective tariff. Peace, gem
tie peace Governor Solomon, reigns through
out the Union at the present moment. Al
though a fierce campaign is progressing in
Ohio, We search the columns of Ohio journals
in vain for the production Of the a. Outrage
mill" The Southern papers instead of damn
ing the "nigger," are appealing TO the rea-
soning faculties Of their d" "co.ored fellow
citizens" d" and evidently hoping 20 make po-
litical converts among them. The ballot has
at least had the effect Of securing decent
treatment for them and nowhere do We find
any traces of the late - unpleasautness.

CnIyA AND JAPAY.-There IS some
danger that the peaceful relations
which have hitherto existed between
China and Japan may be broken
Both nations desire 10 maintain pos
session of the Cores, and diplomacy
fails TO settle the question. Japan
manifests a disposition TO appeal 10
the arbitrament of the sword. 1t Is
to be hoped that European and Amer
lean diplomats viii exert themselves to
prevent 3 rupture that might arrest
the progress of liberal ideas in the
East. Through Japan European civ
ilization has the best chance of finding
entrance into China, and quarrel be-
tween the two nations would undOubt-
edly obstruct the advance of liberal
ideas in that ancient Empire, which
must always exert a potent influence
over the destinies of the EaSt. p
