CTRDING THE INDIAN RING.

REFORMS INCORPORATED IN TIE INDIAN APPROPRIA-
TON BIIL--TnE APPROVAL OF VOUCHERS TAKEN
OUT OF TIE HANDS Or THE INDIAN BUREAU-THE
TREASURY DEPARTMENT TO BE HELD REsPoN-
sIBLE-THE PLACE COMMISSION KILLED.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSs.l
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-One or two very important
reforms were Incorporated in the Indian Appropra-
ton BILL One of them, moved by Mr.. Randall,
originally provided that no purchase amounting to
more than $500 should be made without first being
duly advertised. This was amended III the Senate
by the friends of the Indian Bureau SO as to make
the limit $1,000. The remainder of the same
amendment, which was agreed to- was as follows
No payment OF any part OF the money appropriated
by this act heretofore appropriated for the expenses OF
enmen officer until the proper voucher therefor eha
first have been submitted 70 examination and authorized
by an accounting Cflcor OF the Treasury.
This takes the approval Of vouchers ont of the
hands of the Indian Ring in the Interior Depart
ment and gives the Accounting Officer of the
Treasury the power to reject all Of the doubtful and
illegal Jobs Heretofore the approval of the Secre-
tary of the Interior all that was necessary 10
insure the payment Of money On the most flandu-
lent contracts, or without contracts. Now, the
Secretary of the Treasury and the Controller may be
also held responsible.
The Indian bill contains an appropriation for the
expenses Of the Peace Commissioners, but strangely
enough there is no legislation to continue them in
Office In each of the preceding Indian Appropria-
ton bills since 1862 proviso has been inserted con-
tnuing the Board with all the powers and duties
heretofore provided by law. No provision OF this
kind is in the bill for the year ending June 3O 1876
and the Peace Commissioners will therefore have
neither powers nor duties after June so, 1876 In
debate in the Senate during the last session. the
principle was laid down that when the word here
after" was not inserted in amendments or provisos
to appropriation bills, such prOyisos or amendments
continued in'force only during the period covered
| by the bill. The word hereafter" is not in the
proviso continuing the Peace Commission during
the present year. and it is therefore very evident
that it has been killed by indirection.

THE BEGGAR NUISANCE.

With the advent of winter New Orleans is
invariably invaded by horde of beggars,
whose char cteristics so plainly show that
their condition is not one of need, but simply
professional, that it seems remarkable that
they have for SO long a time been tolerated.
Beggary is wretched condition when it pre-
sents itself in its simplest form, but when it
is attended with the :" ills that flesh is heir
to-" and the distortions and Disbursements
of shape, hideous becomes word inadequate
to express its effects.
1t is generally to be observed that these
new corners are mostly afflicted with some one
or the other of these heart-sickening features,
which are less frequently the result of acct
dent than disgusting artifce. While we have
among us large enough number of needy
people. to give to whom is like unto the cast
ing of the bread upon the waters, it is
almost criminal to give to that other class, the
professionally Our police authorities can
hardly claim inability to discriminate between
the two, or if they did they would render
themselves liable to the charge of incapacity.
We are already too poor to supply the
wants of the worthy INDECENT. We cannot,
therefore, undertake to support or enrich
these nomadic Gwynplaines, the sight OF
whom, at every step, during the winter
months, and on our principal thoroughfares,
is sickening and disgusting.
Why do not the police investigate the real
,+otus re tboso c1y; loru II, haooorc' oorh opd
rid US of them when they have satisfied them
selves that they are neither fit subjects for
public nor private charity.

LOPER4 BOUFFE.

The waves of the orchestras music
In long, rolling pillows Of sound
Filled the boxes and parterre and gallery,
Then dashed into spray notes around.
As the heavenly air of Ella Duchesse"
Drifted out to the ears of the throng,
A lady in chair Number Twenty
Dropped tear at the plant Of the song.
Twas but twelve years ago this summer,
Near moonlighted window up town,
/ heard that same song on an evening
As I stood by ma belle looking down.
Now, the lady in chair Number Twenty
Is stouter than the singer was then,
And the old banker Briggins beside her
Sits where would if-something had been.
Yet the mystical power of the music
Blotted out those years of the past.
could swear she was dreaming of some one,
And Of days too delightful to last.
Old Briggns was thinking of Paris,
OF Patti, Of ballots, and nights
Spent there in youths wild carousal,
And a certain soprano in tights.
So both of the couple were dreaming
OF what sras, but can never more be,
Whilst 1, an old bach, grown testy,
Was thinking Of mullins and tea.
This whole world an opera bouffe is,
The tears but a part of the play
When the curtain is up there is acting,
When down none see the display.
Then it is in the darkness and shadows
Trap doors Of the past open wide,
And skeleton figures uprising,
Bring "pansies for thoughts to the bride
