"Roor, Hoe, OR DIE" The In
dian Commissioner has issued circu-
lar that will be found interesting as
the beginning of a new policy in deal
ing with the Indians, Congress has
passed an act requiring all able-bodied
Indians on the reservations to perform
work enough to pay for the supplies
they receive from the government.
Wherever there are whites intermar-
ried with Indians they must have the
marriage legally recorded. No sup
plies will be granted to any Indians
unless they earn them by labor. They
will be encouraged TO SELECT lard and
erect houses upon 1t, and to conform
as far as possible to the amenities, du-
ties and responsibilities of civilization:

RAILROAD TRAFFIc.-The opinion gen.
orally entertained proves erroneous
that railroading in the United States
was less profitable in 1874 than the
year preceding. An article in the
Baltimore Sun gives brief statisti-
cal review of results, which are fiat
tering. 1t shows that of TWENTY-FIVE
railroads, including the principle roads
Of the country, the gross receipts of
eight were larger in 1874 than in 1873,
and the percentage on all was smaller
last year than the year before. Its
Enumeration includes the Pennsylvania,
New York Central and Hudson River.
Philadelphia and Reading, Central,
Pacific, Baltimore and Ohio, Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy, Onion Pacific,
Boston and Albany, Central New
jersey, Illinois Central, Lehigh Val
ley, Chicago and Alton, New York
and New Haven, Philadelphia and
Erie (hrst eleven months), Eastern
Railroad, Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore, Boston and Maine, the
Fitchburg, and the Detroit and Mil
waukee- The aggregate gross earn
lngs of the whole twenty-five roads
in 1874 amounted TO S190, ,2SS, 400 ;
IN 1873, l9l, ,S54,005. The operating
expenses in 1874 were 114,2S3, ,722 :;
in 1873, sl22.ll9,754. The net earn
ings were, therefore, s76,0O4,747 in
1874, against GO, ,S35 PSI in 1873. an
increase Of G,l70,496. In 1874 the
operating expenses were 60.05 per
cent OF the gross earnings; in 1873
the ratio was 64.I2 per cent.

PABLEAMgST AND THE PBsss.-MT.
Sullivan, one of the prominent home
rule members, gave notice in the
House of Commons lately that he
would nightly call attention to the
presence Of strangers in the gallery.
As no one has 4 right to be in the
House of Commons except the mem
bers, the press reporters will be obliged
to withdraw, as, according to the Ell
quette Of Parliament, to notice the
presence Of strangers is equivalent to
demanding their expulsion. Mr.. Sui
livan's object is to compel Parliament
20 fix the status of the press, so that
the reporters may not be subject to
the caprices Of the House. Mr.. Sulli-
van is himself a journalist and the
proprietor Of two Of the most power
ful papers in Ireland.

of dollar or the performance of a

and others, compIainants, against the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company,
for the appointment of q receiver IN
the person of George w. Cass- Judge
Shipman took the papers and has COM
Piled with the petition and issued an
order, of which the following are the
principal features;
Under this order of recelversmp
Authority is given the receiver to re-

OREGoy CoNGRgSsNAx.-The death
of Col. LsDow renders necessary a
special election for q member of Con.
gress from Oregon. 1t is generally
conceded that the State is largely DEM
ocratis, and hence speculation is rife
as 10 who Is most likely 10 receive the
nomination of that party. East of
the mountains the names Of Judge
Macarthur and J. II. Slater are promf.
nently mentioned, the former develop
ing the most strength, and by all odds
the most popular of the two. Our
own impression is that Judge Nc.
Arthur would make an excellent rep
resentative, and in the event of his
nomination we regard his election as
q foregone conclusion. 1t NAV. how.
ever, be deemed wise TO take 4 candi-
date from the west side. and in that
event We deem Col. J. ". Nesmith
the man for the place, \ gentleman
who was 8: Washington during the
whole Of the late session, writes us
that "no man stood higher in Con.
gress than J. ". Nesmi,h, and that
the failure to re-elect him was a great
mistake" The people OF Oregon
now have an opportunity TO correct
that mistake" snd unless they are
entirely lacking in political sagacity,
they viii gladly improve It.

WHLIAHs' REsIGNATIoN.-The New
York UerdLG comments at length
upon Williams withdrawal from the
Cabinet, and says that his was a
forced retirement. In its review of
the career of the ex-Attorney General,
it says:
Williams has been conspicuous as 9
Cabinet officer by his connection with
the Louisiana controversy, which has
beer SO damaging to the administrG-
tion. Instead Of saving the President
from his stupeudous bIunder in the
first month of 1873, as a sound law
yer would have done, he found pre-
tended laws to match the Presidents
known wishes, and led his official
chief into one of the worst bIunderS of
his administration. The President
condoned that act Of folly by nomi-
mating Mr.. Williams as Chief Justice,
but the country has not forgiven it
and never will. But Williams re-
mOyal, under the color of a reSigua-
ton, does not result from his bad ad-
vice on the Louisiana question. 1t is
a consequence of his prOtuse and cor.
rupt expenditure of money i'll the
Southern States under a pretence of
carrying out the enforcement laws.
This part of the Attorney Generals
conduct will not bear investigation,
and the President thinks it better to
get rid of the officer than to face the
record. by putting out Williams
and substituting an honest, capable
man, he hopes to win the same indul-
gent judgment which has followed
the replacing Of Cresswell by Jewell
and Richardson by Bristow. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether this game
can be played with success. Post
master General Jewell's recent expos
ures proved that the President blum
dered in retaining Creswell so long
and Secretary Bristow' policy involves
a similar condemnation of Richardson
and Boutwell,. The President cannot
recover the good opinion of the coun-
try by making removals which are a
confession of his past blindness and
neglect of DUTY.

The lMNIGRANTs.-A gentleman
from Sacramento, who made it his du-
", in connection with a number of
leading citizens of that place, to visit
round among the immigrants and as
certain their condition as to health
and comfort, gives tiattering report
of the situation. 1t was found that
the immigrants were of an excellent
class-men and womsn OF thrift and
industrious habits, who are fully alive
10 the fact that their future depends
mainly upon their own efforts, and
who came prepared to perform hard
labor for subsistence, if the contin-
gency required it. These people al
brought more or less money with them,
and are not regarded as objects OF
charity, which they neither expected
nor ask. Most of the number had
their point Of destination fixed upon
before leaving their old homes, and
are moving off from day to day in a
quiet and orderly manner, 10 the va
nous points selected for location.-S.

Ben WADE, of Ohio, declines en-
phatieally TO be a candidate for Gov
ernOr against Governor Allen, the
present democratic incumbent. The
reasons he gives are, first, that his
voice is so used up that he has not
been able TO make speech for years ;
and, second, he says that it has always
been a fundamental principle with
him and one which he has never yio-
lated, that the office should seek the
man and not the man the office. lie
says that he early took solemn oath
that he would never stump for an
office that he was himself TO fill, and
that he would sooner " beg for old
clothes" " than solicit any mortal man
for position He further says that
these will no doubt be considered very

glorious government is ever ruined, it
will be by office seekers"

"The Pennsylvania Society for pro-
noting the Abolition Of Slavery" eel
ebra,ed i,s one hundredth anniversary
on the Iith of April. It's history Is
as il!utrious as it is long. When st
wa, established, in l715 slavery was
not looked upon universally Is q
wrong, though it had not come to be,
as was atterward the case, defended
as right. The slave labor still! ex-
isted IN some Northern States, while
in the South it was rapidly substitut-
ing itself for sll other forms OF IN
dustry. At that time, when even
American independence had not been
declared, the movement was begun
which was ultimately to secure Amer.
lean freedom for all, and tew cit
izens of Philadelphia met to organ
ize an association which now looks
back upon a century of struggle, de.
feat, misrepresentation and finally OF
triumph. At that time there were
four hundred thousand slaves in the
American colonies; the members Of
the society can remember when there
were fonr millions of slaves under a
republican form of government; and
that there Is now not one is to q large
extent due to its untiring energy and
extended influence. Many distin-
guished names are connected with its
history. Benjamin Franklin was its
President in 1890, and sent in the
name of the society, to Congress a
memorial, asking that body to "de,
wise means of removing the incon.
sistency of slavery from the American
people" }" &.

The Platform for 1876.

Senator John B. Gordon, Of Geor-

the following coIlOquy ensued:
REPORrER-Do You think that we
should make the next national cam
paign on the Cincinnati platform ?
General GoRDOY-I think that we
should hazard nothing on account OF
prejudice or partisan opinion, Tor l be-
lieve shat the perpetuation OF our free
institutions depends Oh the issue OF
the next national campaign. On Its
result hangs, in my opinion, the safety
of the republic, which should be more
estimable than any mere party lrl-
umph could be. There are four lead
ing ideas that should enter into the
democratic platform for 1876. These
four cardinal principles should be put
In our platform to insure success, and
then adhered to by our party to ensure
peace. The first point is, that we
shall have economy, purity and ldeil-
ty In the administration of the gov
ernment. All these elements may be
included under the one head of hon
esty. If there is anything that the
people of this eountry-the whole

PRUssIA.-The parrot cry which Eu-
rope became accustomed to during the
reign of Napoleon III. is about to be
taken up by Germany. Prussia means
peace, we are now assured, just as
"the Empire meant peace" a few
years ago. In the meantime peaceful
Prussia does, all in her power to pro
woke war, and is notoriously prepar-
ing to precipitate struggle which is
intended to make Germany the arbi-
ter of Europe. The proverb about
the best laid plans of mice and men
may, however, once more prove It's
truth. A second march TO Paris may
not end quite so happily as the first.
