was unnecessary to state this, since IL Is wen
known that Mr.. Steele's nomination to Office
and support at the polls were chiefly due to
the Indian Ring. The main point of his letter
is q side issue-whether the weight OF cattle
as called for by contract should be 1000 or
$50 pounds. The statement that it was 1000
pounds originated not with Prof Marsh, but
with one of the Indian Commissioners when
no was before them. Both the apOlOgists for
the Indian Ring think it impossible that bad
supplies could be substituted for good, in the
wild stretch of country between Cheyenne and
the Agencies. Meanwhile the newspapers of the
day are telling us how substitution OF
"crOoked" whisky for the tax-paid article has
taken place over and over again in closely
settled localities and in spite of an army of
detectives. But the present condition of In
dian affairs is not field for bandying argyll
ments. There are terrible facts before us, to
which there can be no reply. The pnblic be-
lieve, when an army officer assures us respect
ing these Sioux that I" the poor wretclcs have
"been several times this Winter on the verge
"Of starvation through the rascalty of the
"Indian Ring; they have been compelled to
"eat dogs, wolves, and ponies" Herein is
matter for pity a&;a! fer righteous indignation;
quibbling and platitudes are out of place.

the amount of profit annually derived from
this placer it is not likely that the distillers
and the deputy collectors have been allowed
to have it all their own way. 1t is the trad
ing politicians function to inculcate lessons OF
morality among these lesser thieves. He
teaches them the virtues of fair division, OF
generosity even, and above all of discretion.
His expenses are heavier than theirs. 1t costs
him more money to be nominated and elected
to Congress than it costs them to nominate
and elect him, or at least this is his constant
plant. The honest clerks who owe their
places to him his committee assesses as much
as they will stand. But when he is dealing
with q prosperous scamp he smllingly puts on
the screws himself, and takes according to his
needs.
On general principles, we should say that
Congressman who had so little political NOR
atty, so little sense of personal self-respect,
and 80 slender regard for law as to vote in
the last Congress for, say the Presidents
Arkansas message, would be none too good to
have a hand in this whisky business. Some of
them got foreign missions as their pay; others
got good places at home in the judicial SER
vice of the Government OF course, Gen.
Grant is not to be suspected of any completely
in tho operations of the Ring. We owe him
hearty thanks for what he is doing to break it
up. But his acts under political pressure are not
always so good as his intentions-as for instance
when he Overruled the Secretary's order for
redistribution of Supervisors among the dis
tricts. And it is not impossible that certain
Congressman of loose morals may have had
themselves appointed to places where they
could do good deal of crooked business, on
the plea that they had ruined themselves by
that Arkansas vote and must be taken care of.
1t is said that the President made the Hon.
Jasper Ward U. S. District Attorney for the
Northern District of Illinois, Oh account of his
loyalty in that matter. 1t would be interest
ing to know how Mr.. Ward stands in relation
to curvilinear highwincs

THE TRIAL AND THE PUBLTC.


The devotion with which the public mind
has followed the sinuous proceedings of the
great trial, will be referred by no philosoph
cal observer to the mere love of prnrient de-
tail. Never before upon this continent has
there been such fcrvent interest in judicial
process and this has arisen from causes by no
means discredtable to society. To large and
respectable class, the honor of the Chris
tian ministry is of the first import
ancc. TO another, the weakness or the mis-
fortunes of men engaged in the pursuits of
literature afford grounds for speculation not
altogether proftless. Again, it is part of our
constitution to find pleasure and profit in
weighing evidencc-a work in which The ncces-
sites of life Oblge u.s. if We are prudent,
every day to engage. At moment when
readers may well be growing a little weary
of the taking Of testimony, an interest of
n new kind is developed by the argu-
mcnts of the advocate and in the speeches
made to the jury the mass will seek to find the
thread which shall lead them through this
labyrinth of contradiction and possibly of per-
jury, TO the truth. Thus the trial has stmu-
lated a considerable degree Of intellectual ac-
tivity, and will to the end continue to do so;
and this fact alone, as VIC are inclined to
believe, will exercise wholesome influence. The

The protest of Brooklyn citizens against the
issue of bonds for 100000 toward the con-
struction of the Hampstead Reservoir is well
timed. The taxpayers of that city are already
very heavily burdened, and before there is such
an addition to their load they are naturally
anxious to be informed as to the condition OF
the work contracted for.

Attorney General Pierrepont begins with a
good piece of work. He has issued an order
prescribing the particulars that must accom-
pany all petitions to the President for granting
pardons. An inadequate knowledge of the facts
of the case, it is said, has too often preceded
the use of the pardoning power. Whether this
ignorance may or may not excuse some OF the
Presidential pardons of the past, it will not
apply to the future.

There does not appear to be any startling good
sense about an attempt to feed leviathan through
straw; yet that is exactly what Mrs. Fouston,
lately deceased English woman, has done. This
amable lady, after much bordering upon tho
finances Of her country, and with vision perhaps,
of future flme has left by will annual income OF
about $11,500 fo: the reduction of tho
English National Debt. The people OF Great
Britain have not shown any undue evil
dcnces OF gratitude for this legacy which
lessons their collective liabilities by possibly a
thoiisandth part. Yet They arc never indfer
ent to money if We may believe Mr.. Gladstone. 1t
was only two or three weeks ago that he uttered in
the House Of Commons this decorous protest :"
love not excessive privilege whethcrfor wealth or for
anything else bat il privilege were to be introduced
in favor of birth and Of ancient mime and family
should infinitely prefer il ~ tnc nvdiOus and OlioUs
tack Of Deliberately aud with our eyes opeu making

He was in Montgomery, Alabama. He had been
mcandcriny from town 10 town, trying TO exhibit
his Educated Hog. We don't know what the Hog
was educated to do whether he played the German
flute. danced hornppe, or told the ages of visitors
but possibly because Educated Hogs were no nov
city in those regions, this most scientific Of swine
did MT draw worth cent. So Mr. James Mair the
sole proprietor of the show, took great dose of
morphine, and thus rid himself of all earthly
troubles. 1t would have been neat, pretty, and
poetica it, before taking his own dose he had given
one to the Educated Hog, that in the next world
the faithful animal might have borne him company.
We don't know, however, that even Educated Hogs

The above summary of the progress of the
corporation, together with what is known of
its present embarassmcnts and in general Of
the prospects of the transportation business
between the Western States and tide water,
can be interpreted in only one way. If the
$50, $40 of Erie Railway stock has any
real value to the innumerabc widows, orphans,
crppes, blind men and, we had almost said,
idiots and lunatics who have depended upon
its dividends for their support, then are the
days of mamma for the wandering tribes in the
wilderness again upon us.
But if Mr.. Jewctt, who seems to have tried
in very manly and straightforward way to
tell the simple truth, has not been mistaken
in his estimate of the situation of his road,
what is the real interest of New-YOrk in the
PREMISES Is it to see this hopeless fight
against bankruptcy prolonged, with the attend
ant results of high frcights, and more and
more ruinous borrowing, to make both
ends meet2 Or, is 1t to see the struggle
abandoned, and let the road, with the
water and stealings wrung out Of it, be
run hereafter at such low rates as shall enable
it to pay its operating expenses and yet fight
the Baltimore and Ohio, in behalf of the city
which has done so much to sustain it, and
which now so sOrcly needs its help, on equal
or superior terms1 Which policy would make
the Erie road of most use, in these hard times,

THE ERIE RdHWdY.

The utterly hopeless condition of the Erie
Railway Company 80 far as its finances are
concerned, is apparent enough from MIR.
Jewctt's recent statement to the shareholders,
from the declining prices of its stock, and the
later issues OF its bonds, and from the ruinous
terms on which its last " consolidated mortgage"
has been disposed of. 1t is indeed clear that
its $50, 536,91O of stock is destined very
shortly to come under the sponge, and that
the task will by no means be an easy one to
provide ont of its future earnings legal interest
on its funded and floating debt, now az
gregating nearly sixty millions of dollars. All
this we say, is apparent The London
Economist of May 1 notes thc utter collapse
"Of Erie and Atlantic and Great Western
securities" as destroying general confidence
in the market for American securities, and
since Mr.. Jewctt calls attention to the
desperate straits of the Company we cannot
avoid giving this brief mention Of its affairs.
According to the printed report of the En-
glish accountants, Messrs. Quilter, Ball 81 Co.,
and Turquand, Youngs & Co. for the years

the State Engineer for tho year ended Sept
