THROWING IN WARNINGS.

While the Interior Department is bending
its entire energies to the circulation of dOcu-
ments printed at the public expense, attack
ing the regulations and characters of the
persons with indefinite articles to their names
who have assailod the Department with
charges of fraud, the Commission appointed
by Secretary DelanO to investigate affairs at
Red Cloud Agency calmly pursues its allotted
task, and gathers in the testimonials
of contractors, mule-drivers, freighters,
herders, butchers, and traders to the
honesty and intelligence of the Indian manage
ment. The batch of wtnesses-Or shall we say
cloud of witnesses ?-Red Cloud Whose testi-
mony Is given in the letter of our correspond
ent published to-day, all agree that Dr. Saville,
the Agent, is an extremely worthy person, and
that as matter OF fact there Is no cause for
complaint on the part of the Indians or the
Government. There is a vein of innocence and
simplcity-and yet why do we call it a vein ]
there's q whole stratum of it-runnng through
the testimony of these Arcadian herders and
butchers and mule drivers, which by and by,
when it is bound up in volumes at Govern
ment expense and distributed to the public
libraries of the country, will be contemplated
with wonder by tho present generation and
regarded with awe by posterity. These must
be-like DOsler the contractor who appeared

earlier in the panorama-God fearing men ana
members of the church, though unlike BOsler
they have not taken the risk of making oath
to it.
The testimony is all interesting. 1t is in
teresting to know that the Indians grumbled
lust because the blankets issued to them were
branded so that the letters U. s. |. ID. turned
into holes in q very little while. 1t shows
how hard the Indians are to please. Would
white man complain of little thing like that
"A mere matter of holes in a blanketf Obvi-
O,lsly not Then, too, it is interesting to know
that the Indians were 80 unreasonable as to
complain because the pork issued to them
smelt bad and was bad, and that they were
80 ignorant of tho English language and
ts idiOms as to call DR.. Saville, who Is
n God-fearing man and member OF the
church, O "thiefn All these points of infOrma-
ton are of great interest, and add largely to
the general fund of knowledge on the Indian
question. But it is upon the subject OF weigh
ing yearlings that we get the most light. The
yearling business has been trifling confusing
from the start. We have learned from the
God-fearing contractors that the ycarngs
made great trouble that they uould stay with
the herd, and couldn't be got rid OF;
and the contractors, being men OF
the most humane feelings and the
tenderest susceptibilities, would not think OF
doing so cruel thing as driving the yearlings
away from the herd. But the contractors
agreed in the most solemn manner that they
never charged anything for yearlings-neyer
they always "threw in" the yearlings. This
was one of the charming features In the char
acter of the GOd-fearing contractor as brought
out by his own testimony. Or rather there
were two charming features first, his human
ity in allowing the yearlings to keep right
along with the herd, and second, his gener-
osity in "trowing in" the yearlngs for the
benefit of the poor untutOred savage.
1t was Mr.. Benjamin Tibbits, the butcher,
who flung the CLEAN of an unconscious calcium
light over the yearling business 1t appears from
Tibbits that when they weigh cattle to get the
average weight for a herd, the yearlings are
very liable to stray on to the scales, ana the
humane contractors would MT of course hurt the
feelings of yearling by driving him of the
scales. He is weighed with the rest, but he isnf
counted when they come to divide the aggre-
cate weight of the number of cattle. so as to
compute the weight per head. And that is
the way they threw in" the yearlings. Mr..
BENJAMIN Tibbits, the butcher of Red Cloud
Agency, may step down. He has thrown
great deal of light on a very dark subject. In
the light of his testimony, throwing in year
lings seems to have been not only humane to
the yearling, and generous to the Indian, but
decidedly profitable to the contractor.

such matters "a amusement and lOve-making,
crowded one knew what witch-hazel rod to use
TO find it. Old Storrs, who comes back to the
shop every Monday and leaves Phil to dance
and flirt with the girls, or who sends the young
fellow to Europe for year, is regarded oy
that gallant youth simply as q banker. indeed,
he talks of him sometimes as my exchequer.'
When Phil was baby Storrs began that sys-
TEN of strict personal economy and rigid de-
yotion to business, for which the younger man
now brands him as Of lower nature than his
own. 1t was all done for Phil. He had the
money laid by for that journey to France ana
Rome which he and his wife had planned so
long; it went into a life insurance for Pills ben
eft the old people will die without seeing the
countries of which the boy talks so glibly-
talks in fact to others, for he has the notion
that it would be throwing pearls before very
inferior sort of animal to speak of art to them.
So the old man stands in the doorway and
looks in at this man child he has given to
the world and feels that he has no part
in him, except one akin to that OF his
caterer or tailor Old StOrrs's story is repeated
a million times, in all classes and ranks.
When Bob at the farm goes counting he knows
well enough that the snug little sum on which
he can marry was saved by that old couple
browsing over the fire by hard labor and
ceaseless self-denials for long years But does
he for that try to make the evening OF their
life less drearyf
There are few cases where father and
mother and children maintain that best OF oil
relations, bon canaraderie to the last, but only
a few. In the majority of American
homes the old folks, however tenderly
nourished, are held aloof as cOmpan-
ions barred from all the daily interests,
the jests, the pleasures which give to life its
actual zest. Hence they turn necessarily to
the scenes of their youth and drearily recount
them, simply because it was then they were
recognized as companions, rather than burdens;
or, most pathetic of all, the old man finds in
his grandchild the nearest friend in the lone
some latter days, because the baby has not
yet learned to snub him. In every house
where the old folks yet lInger it would be
worth while for the gay girls and young
fellows to spare a little time from their work
or idleness, and, remembering all that they
owe to these queer old men and questionable
old women, try to discover what hopes and
love and fancies they have carried with them to
the edge of the grave. They have but little
way to 90 before they reach the great dark
ness q young CHEEKY voice and loving hand
would do much to make those few steps less
solitary.

A BEETHOVEN CONCERT.

For the one hundredth concert of the season
at the Central Park Garden Beethoven programme Will
be presented tomorrow night which ought to attract
magnificent audience The most curious feature OF 1t will
be the performance OF the four Overtures to Fdeo"
which we do not think have before been presented
here in such close contrast One OF them, indeed THAT
commonly known the Leonora No II, is very seldom
played in New York. though it is work Of almost ncon-
parable beauty, and quite different from all the others
It chronoogcay the third of the series Leonora No
was the earliest written: the great No. so caied)
which is q revised and improved copy Of No 2, came
next then No. l. and finally No. A, known as the over

bered correctly The second part OF the concert to be
devoted to the Seventh Symphony and the third to the

since the war been subject to malign influences
from disorderly elements representing both
races, in the latter State. 1t may be well for
Gov. Chamberlain to watch the progress Of
the investigation now to be held, with view
to ascertain whether he may not have a
duty to perform in bringing about better
state of affairs 1t is possible that the name
of Prince Rivers was used by the Georgia con-
spirators without authority but If he is guilty
as charged, Gov Chamberlain might well va
cate the commission of Major in the
South Carolina militia.

A new party which has for some time past
been quietly at work in organizing, held a
convention at Boston on Saturday, and pro-
claimed its name, candidates, and platform.
1t is to be called the National Union party.
1t dominates Gen. Banks of Massachusetts, and
Gen. Lamar of Mississippi for President and
President. Opposition to fraud and cor
porate ,monopolies, and honest adherence to
the nations pledges concerning finances, are
the salient features of the platform.

While some of the resolutions offered during
the session of the ColOred Virginians Conven-

sions, the final report adopted on Saturday is
singularly temperate in tone. 1t takes princi-

treatment, especially in respect to opportuni-
ties for education. So fair an appeal deserves,
and we hope will receive, consideration from

II ia not often that such scenes of popular
excitement as were witnessed last week in
Eastern Georgia are allowed to pass away
without the shedding of blood. That the
Whites and Blacks in the lately disturbed sec
ton are not numbering each other to-day is
owing to the calmness and discretion of Gov.
Smith and to general respect for law and
order, no less than to that kindly feeling be-
tween the better class of men in either race
which has been displayed by the people OF
Georgia in many ways during the past few
years, and which has gained for their State a
reputation for good order like that of Virginia
and North Carolina. Our special dispatch from
Augusta, which gives the only connected and
Ineligible account of the recent scare yet
published, shows that the apprehensiORs of the
Whites were not groundless, but that the Ne
groes who were at the bottom of the plot were
probably actuated by desire for nOtOriety
and power more than by any malicious motive,
while many who were committed to the move
ment were blindy following these self-consti-
tuted leaders. The spread of fear and suspi-
cion among the Whites and the wholesale ar
rests Of Negroes aggravated the dangers of
the situation, so that we shudder to think
what would have followed had not the former
called in Judge johnson instead of Judge
Lynch to bring the incendiaries to justice.
As it is, the persons now lying in the county
jails may expect fair trial, and the punish
ment of those who are guilty will give assur-
ance of permanent peace. We may remark, in
passing, that the counties in Georgia which

The Turkish garrison at Trebigne, number
ing only 400 men, is offering stubborn re-
sistance to the besiegers, doubtless expecting
no quarter from the infurlated insurgents in
the event of its surrendering. The reported
acceptance by Turkey of the good offices of
the three Imperial powers may, however, lead
to a suspension of hostilities at any moment
The capture of seven forts by their MOntene-
grin allies is on the other hand calculated to
infiame the ardor of the insurgents, who are
acting under an ambitious leader.

Additional information in regard to the
leniency shown Col. Baker is given in
our London correspondence, indicating that
the military authorities allowed him to
resign his commission, while an officer con-
victed of cheating at cards was promptly
cashiered. Even more powerful influence has
doubtless secured Baker such mild treatment
in Jail as renders his imprisonment almost
formality
