The statements in orr Washington dispatches
to-day in regard to the operations of the In
dian Ring are commended to the attention of
the President, now that lie is at last disposed
" to see that the Indians are justly dealt with
These dispatches show how precautions against
fraud in the fullllment of contracts are
utterly disregardcd, how the agents grow
rich on the salaries which, according to
Commissioner Smith, are not large enough to
secure the services Of honest men, and how
all efforts TO insure just dealings with the
Indians have heretofore been baked 10y
maliGn influences painfully near the head Of
the Interior Department. AS to the specific
complaint of Red Cloud, it seems to bo well
founded, and it is stated very positively that
the present agent at the Red Cloud Agency,
whom Commissioner Smith would excuse, bas
repeatedly been proved both incompetent and
corrupt.

an extensive combination, which is said 10 i'll
vOlve already ninety per cent of The rc'incr5.
The friends of the movement declare that lis

maintaining reasonable rates, to prevent the
sharp fluctuations which have proved disas-

Objectionable arrangements with railroads which
they declare are to be made and claim that
perious monopoly is proposed which will crush

every such trade combination is looked upon
with suspicion, however just may be its motive.

The Centennial celebrations continue to bring
forth good fruits in the form of more fraicinal
feeling between the North and the South. A
gathering OF ex-Coniedcrate soldiers in the
capital of the Late Rebel States now
gives cordial and enthusiastic re-
sponso to the patriotic sentiments uttered
few days ago by Gen. Bartlett
at Lexington. In his remarks acknowledging
the compliment of n serenade from the men
whom he Onco met in the field, Gen. Bartlett
shows that he said nothing at Lexington which
he is disposed to take back, and happily en-
braces the occasion to speak al+o for the
thousands throughout the North who hold the
same continents.

Representatives of Louisiana took up and the
Senate dropped at the late special session OF
the Legislature of Louisiana. If the suits
against the Auditor, which the Attorney-Gen-

they ought to be, Louisiana will soon be rid
of an officer who has done more than almost
any other of the Kellogg Ring to discount the
pecuniary responsibility of the State Mean

Stories About the Mexicans Pre-

Ever since the raid of Col Mckenzie into
the territory of Mexico after border cattle

the soil was never free from bands of incur.
sionists after the droves of American cattle.
commission was sent down to inquire into
the truth of these reports, and they
agreed that they were we'll founded, and yet
our government day after day, month after
month, delayed action.
1t seems that at last some definite plan has
been settled on, and will at an early date be
put into execution. Orders were sent here
and the steamer Planter purchased in Mobile
for gunboat on the Rio Grande. A short
time since she was brought to this city and a
small army of workmen put to work on her.
She now lies in Aiglers, near the Third
District ferry landing, and presents as busy a
scene as can be witnessed anywhere here.
abouts Almost as crowded as an ant hill, she
seems almost alive with men, Some painting,
some busy with vim and muscle finishing up
the carpenter work, whilst below squads are
hard at it preparing her for the reception of
her large complement of men. In order that
she may safely withstand the short chopping
seas of the Gulf Capt. Kells, her commander,
has had a high bulwark placed around her.
The stores were to come from the Canoni-
Gus, but it appears they are not yet ready,
and this has delayed the departure of the
Rio Bravo-as it is, she is expected to get off
by Saturday next.
Since the operations on this steamer have
been commenced, Capt. Kells has received a
number of visits from Texans and some
Mexcans, and from their conversations it
would appear this pioneer cruiser in Mexican
waters will meet with a warm reception.
Taese visitors report that it is expected
Cortina will again be on the Rio Grande by
the time the vessel arrives there, and that
there can be no question but what he and his
men will fire on her. They seem to believe
this to be the case. and advise Capt Kells not
to rest under the delusion that all will be
quiet on the river when he gets there.
We can't say that we place much credence
in these stories, yet there may be some truth
in them.
