The Philadelphia Times estimates that
there have been registered illegally upon
the polling list OF that city the present
year, 10000 names, of which it is prob.
able $1,000 will be stricken off under the
operation of Democratic legislation.
This species Of wholesale illegal registra-
ton, is the key to the wholesale Repub-
lican majorities which have been so long
maintained in Philadelphia. To give an
idea Of the extent of these frauds, it ia
stated that in single election district
1873 illegal names have already been
stricken from the lists, with the prospect
of large addition to this number. And
this is the method by which the will of
the people is ascertained in the great and
good city Of Philadelphia. Salt Lake

The Louisville Courier-Journal, Henry

The Louisville Courier-Journal, Henry
Watterson's paper, says: "Let not the
Republicans fancy that the result ia an
Endorsement OF their administration or
the acceptance OF their policy. Their
thievery and misrue have yet to be
finally passed upon. Though the yer.
dict in Ohio is against Allen, it is by no
means in favor OF Grant. Though it un-
nounces the death OF imitation it by no
means encourages severe contraction.
The party that Endorsed either wonld fall
before the popular indignation. II the
Republicans are wise they will not be.
come inflated by their victory. If they
resume before they reduce the tariff, and
before they make greenbaoks receivable
for customs, they will fall. and resump-
ton will soon follow initiation to the
grave" Mr.. Watterson is one OF the
most brilliant American journalists but
he makes a common and most grave
mistake in the latter part of this extract,
which is in strange contrast to the open
ing sentences. To put off resumption
till greenbacks be receivable for customs
is to put off resumption till the national
debt has ceased to exist. When resump-
ton does come from the womb of time
It's not the Republican party, but the
American people, that will resume; till
such resumption we can look for no set
tied recognizance of value.

The question as to the extent to which
the dead languages should enter into the
general education Of the day, and the
comparative usefulness of the dead and
modern languages, continues, to be dis
cussed by the daily press, which has now
become the best field for the elucidation
of oil practical questions in which the
public is concerned. The Philadelphia
Telegraph takes bold stand in favor OF
curtaiing the time devoted to the ancient
languages and of more practical system
of education. That journal says: 6
There is sort OF superstition with re-
gard to the ancient classics which has
come down TO us from the revival Of
learning, when they were the only litera-
ture the world possessed; and the result
is that multitudes Of boys every day
waste large proportion OF their school
| hours in getting the merest smattering
OF Greek and Latin, to the neglect of
other matters OF far more practical inter-
est and far more serious importance.
These hours would be wasted II all or
even majority became accomplished
classical scholars, for knowledge of
the Greek and Latin languages and a
critical acquaintance with the Greek and
Latin authors will do almost as little to-
ward making young man useful citi-
zen as anything he can get into his b cad.
Apart from all this. however, every SEN
sible man must know that the study of
the modern languages, il rightly con-
Quoted, while even more interesting to
the vast majority of young people, is TO,
disciplinary purposes quite as effective a
a study as the dead ones. We hope to
see the day when the absurd idea of fore.
ing young men and women to study Ger
tain things merely for the purpose Of
having their minds disciplined. will be
| abandoned

THE RECORD AND THE INDIAN
RING.

. On several occasions we have
been asked the question, why, since
the RECORD processes to be non
partisan journal, do we manifest
such bitter opposition" to the pol
icy of Government in regard to IN
dian affairs. We judge from this,
that there are a few persons who
regard the Indian question as be
longing exclusively to politlcs1and
the idea no doubt arises from the
fact that many Of the charges Of
fraud and misleading which now
stand against the Indian ring have
originated with journals protesting
Democratic principles, while the Re
publican newspapers are unanimous
in defending the system for no 9th
er apparent reason than that i
sprang from q Republican admins
tration, and is nurtured and control
led BY Republican politicians. So
far, indeed, as these journals are
concerned, the question i purely
political. It matters little to them
whether fhe peace Policy IL one

stitutions ever devised for the vel
fare or injury Of mankind; it must
be denounced or defended accord
ing to the wishes Of the factions
which they represent, and Of which
they are the subservient tools. And
in this course, we would remark,
they are quite consistent with the
usual practices Of political journals,
which seldom permit their zeal for
the public good to conflict with
their own 81 their parties welfare.

BAD PROSPECTS.

If there is any virtue in signs"
an Indian raid in this locality is by
no means an improbable event. On
several occasions during the past
month. small parties of Indians
have been seen on or near the road
between Benton and Sun River,
and it is thought by many that Mr..
Wilson-whose mysterious case
was reported in our last issue
received his wound from the rife of
an Indian assassin. The northern
Indians are extremely impudent
and menacing since the Extradition
trial, as Indians always are before
becoming openly hostile, and should
a war party make its appearance
in this neighborhood, the fact
ought not to surprise any one. The
great danger, however, is from
neighboring tribes. They are per
mitted to roam about at will, some
Of them at times coming into town,
and the worst depredations would
no doubt be FREQUENT. If It were not
for our little garrison Of soldiers.
It is useless to complain to the
agents, Of threatened danger. The
only answer ever returned to such
complaints is, 'sthey are not our In
dians." And in fact they might as
well say this as anything, for they
have no power 10 control the gen
tie wards without assistance from
the military. whom they dare not
call upon for fear Of getting into
disfuyor with their masters at
Washington and perhaps losing
their positions. IN case Of a sud-
den outbreak among the Indians,
we have therefore nothing but our
own resources and the military to
look to for protection The form
er, Of course, amounts to nothing,
a. our population is thinly scatter
ed over miles Of country, and every
farmer along the Teton, Marias and
Missouri rivers might be murdered
ID detail before three Of them could
come together for mutual protec-
tion. The military force at Benton
is entirely inadequate for the pro
lection Of this neighborhood, and IN
case Of an attack, their efforts would
necessarily be confined to fruitless
chases, after the bloody work was
done. We represent these facts as
they are, but without any hope that

deserve. While 4 few men, own.

THE FORT GARRY PRISONERS.

4 =
The following article from the
" Avant Courier" of Bozeman is an
other proof OF the hearty interest
felt by the people Of Bozeman and
Gallatin regarding the continued
persecution Of our citizens by the
British authorities.
"A correspondent of the Courier
sends US 81 communication from Fort
Benton dated on the 4th inst, from
which we CLEAN the following.
Shortly after the arrest ofCapt. Ev-
ans, Jeff Deveraux and party vino
were in the Cypress Mt. affair, the
British authorities arrested two
others and confined them in the
prison at TT. Mcleod. After the
trial IN Helena, the prisoners at
Mcleod, James ". Hughes and
Fry Yogle, were called before a
secret tribunal.
Al American gentleman writing
from Whoop Up says they were
not allowed to call witnesses, and
they were even deprived Of speak
ing Il word II their own defense.
Hughes and Yog1e we're remov-
ed to Fort Garry, where they are
now lying, in the prison at that
place.
What does this disgraceful con-
duct on the part Of the authorities
over the line show? It is simply
venting their spite and malice on
persons who happen to be citizens
Of a Republic instead Of being the
hirelings Of a Queen. Capt. Evans
and party were acquitted at Helena
before Commissioners Cullen. They
had fair and impartial trial, Now,
il those who were leaders, were
.iustifable, why are not the two
followers, now langulsnlng III q
British prison, equally SO? If
Hughes and Vogle are deprived
Of defending themselves at Mcleod,
what kind Of a trial will they re-
ceiye at Garry?
J. W. Tattan represents our
Government at Fort Garry, and we
trust he will see that no more in
iignities be offered to these
Americans, and that their release
will soon be effected. The citizens
Of Benton are moving IN the mat
ter. The citizens Of Bozeman will
be called upon to sign a remon-
STRANGE, protesting against this
great injustice.
