LNDLAN RORRERLES.

The huge frauds perpctmted upon
the Indians and the American people
by the Government agents the past
fifteen years, are Of the most gigantic
character Millions upon millions OF
dollars have been extracted from the
peoples pockets by the agents and EN-.
ployees of the general government to
support the indians and pay off their
claims. The brave chiefs, who have
been to Washington recently to lay
their grievances before the Great Fa.
ther Grant declare that they never
have received the one-tenth of the
money appropriated by the Govern
ment Tor their claims and support
The charges made by the "sons of the
forest, wild and untutored,' against
the agents of this Christian Govern
ment are disgraceful in the extreme.
Grant 4 Co. expected to quiet the
chiefs by inviting them to Washing
ton and there offering them bribcs, but
"Poor Lo' would not enter into part
nership with the Government thieves
to rob both the whites and the lndi-
ans. The Sioux chiefs have taken their
departure from Washington, without
any negotiations being made in regard
to the Black Hills. In the several in
tcrviews which took place between
the delegations of chiefs and the gov
ernment officials, there was n great
deal of talking done, all of which was
to little purpose. The burden of com
plant on the part of the Indians, was
the shameful manner IN which they
had been repeatedly cheated by che
Indian agents, appointed by our gov
ernment. II IL feared that the chiefs
left Washington greatly displeased
with the result of their mission, and
that as a consequence we may expect
more Indian warfare on the plains,
soon after their return home. 1t is 10
be sincerely hoped that such is not the
case. The policy of the general gov
ernment toward the Indians, for years
past, has been exceedingly uniortu-
nate, and has been attended with the
most dcplorable results, The agents
commissioned by our government
have swindled the Indians so outra-
geously that they have almost entirely
lost confidence in the 'pale-iaced race.
As a natural result of this system OF
/ fraud and deception, the savage nature
OF the indians has been frequently
aroused to state Of barbarous des-
pcration, and whole families Of limo
cent persons have been cruelty mar
dered. The observance OF good faith
ON the part of those whose duty IL Is,
as representatives of the government
to deal with the Indians, would save
much bloodshcd on our western plains

pROFESsTON rs. PRACTlCE

The Radical leaders seem to bc as
full of theories as dog can be Of fleas.
They preach mighty well but their
practice is infamous. The party off
grand moral ideas held their State con i.

richly adorned with grand moral Il .cas,
one of which reads as follows:

That reads very nice and every hon.

So much for theory. But now for u
little practical illustration.
A few days after the passage of the
above grand moral idea, somebody in
Philadelphia discovered that the Di.
rectors of the Poor in that city had
been ro5bing the taxpayers OF thous.
ands of dollars, and so pointed was
the charge made that two Of the di.
rcctors, "with brains enough TO know
dishonesty when they see it, resigned /;
and the city committee of the party
governed and controlled by honest men
NTH brains, nominated William b.
Bum and II. n Marks TO fill the va

aforesaid "honest men" Bum and
Marks are two notorious political
black legs and Harrisburg roosters, and
are as offensive TO the scent of honest

not only nominated y few days after

but actually appointed and confirmed
by the city councils and are now in
Office. If they had been assigned the
place meritcd by their crimes, they
would be inside of pennitentiaIy,
lust where "Boss Tweed" is now ru-
ralizing, instead of being billeted upon
the City Treasury of Philadelphia.
This act fully demonstrates the hy-
pocrisy of the Radical leaders, because
the appointment of these two ring

/ THAI the leaders are fools aud knayes

Il is an old saying and as true as
the needle to the pole, that whenever
an individual is diseoursing about his
virtue or integrity, that he should be
diligently watched by his neighbors
if they do not want to be misled OF
cheated. As individuals make up par.
ties, we advise all TO be on the lookout.
The men who concocted the above

CROOKED WHISK "

describe the various frauds that are
committed under the Grant admins,
tration, so numerous have they be.
come. Among these is "crooked
whisky that has gotten intothe market
without paying the revenue taxes upon

busily engaged in scizing and confs-
eating this wherever be can find il.
and hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of it is already in the clutches
OF the government officials. OF course
the distillers offer powerful resistance
TO all this seizure and coniiscation Of
their property. They have combined
for mutual protection, clubbing togeth.
er to raise large sums of money to con.
duct their defence, to buy of officials
and detectives, to appeal 10 the courts,
to hire the best legal talent of the land.
to corrupt Congress and leading adj.
ministration politicians, &C., &c. The
fight will be a tremendous one, and
will bring into requisition all the abili.
" and firmness OF Secretary Bristow.
Not only will he have TO contead
against the whisky ring and it's sub
sidized allies, but he will have to keen
constant watch upon every employe
OF the government that is connected
with the business, lest they be cor
rupted and bctray him. We shall
look with interest upon the fierce strug.
gle, and especially the caving of RadL
cal politicians. An honest man in tho
Treasury has upset host of their cal.
culations Grant would like TO remove
him upon the demand of the leading
Radicals, but he dare not.

a SAFE RECOVERED NORFOLK June
ll.-Captain Brown of the schooner j
O., arrived here to-day in charge Of
the iron safe OF the United States man
of.war Cumberland, which was run
into and sunk in Hampton Roads by
the Confederate ram Merrimac in 1862
The divers have been at work on tho
wreck for ten years, having in view
the recovery Of this safe. The lucky
man had only been at the wreck forty.
eight hours when he found the SAFE
buried in three or four feet of mud
The water at that place is about sew
enty-cight feet deep. BY the explosion
of a torpedo the safe was cracked and
as il was hoisted on deck few pieces
of gold coin droppedout Itis isbelicved
the safe contained 800, 900. Its esti.
mated that more than Sl00, 900 have
been lost by different parties in trying
TO recover this treasure. The safe aud
treasure belong to Captain Brown and
o. r. Malthy, OF this city, and Herbert
Smith, of Detroit, Michigan. While
Capt. Brown was searching the wrecl,
he came across a petriiied human body
in perfect state. Ii was unhurt by
crabs or fish, and the flesh was ex.
tremely hard. The captain supposes
the body to be that of an officer. and
he intends TO return and got it.

II lc Now Hampshire Radicals have
ov IN completely foiled in their attempt
v set aside the action Of Democrats in
the State Senate. The Radical MON
bcrs refused to meet and thereby pre-
vented quorum, in the meantime
taking their case up TO the Supreme
Court, made up Of Radicals, too, but
the Court unanimously decided that
the seating of the two Democratic
Senators was done according to law,
and declined to pass an opinion upon
the action of the Governor and Coun-
Gil, "a completed act performed in the
discharge of IN express duty required
of tho executive department by the
Constitution holding that such an
opinion, being merely q criticism Of
one branch of the government by a co.
ordinate branch, could have no weight
1t assumes that Priest and Proctor had
the proper credentials aud summons
and having taken the prescribed oath
they thereby became Senator's, subject
to the constitutional authority Of the
Senate as the final judge Of the quail
fieations of lbs own members. The
Court is therefore of the opinion that
"when the Senate adiudged Messrs,
Priest and Proctor duly elected sena.
tors, its action was final and conclusive
as to their right" This opinion, which
is signed by all the members Of the
Court, disposes Of the case so far as
any legal action is concerned, but il
may be worth while here to recall the
circumstances which gave rise TO the
dispute. Al the election for Senator
in the Second district, James Priest
Democrat, received 1884 votes and
I"Natt' Head, Republican, 3,77l, with
lOl scattering. IN this State the Ger
tificate would have been given 10 Priest
but in New Hampshire a majority OF
all the votes cast is required to elect
and as Priest had received only plu
rality, the Republicans contonded that
there was no election The Governor
and Council however in canvassing
the returns, threw out the ballots east
for Matt Head on the ground that
they did not give the full name of the
candidate us required by law, thus Civ.
ing the election TO Priest In the
Fourth district there was similar
contest. Proctor, Democrat, had 3, ,l95
votes, and Todd, Republican, 3A57
with GA scattering, just enough to pre-
vent proctor's election. But Todd was
ineligible, not having complied with
the constitutional requirements as Il
residence, and counting the votes cast
for him us void, Proctor received the
credentials. 1t was not claimed that
either of tie Republican candidates
was elected the question was whether
the Governor and Council had a right
to return the others as elected, on
whether they should not have reported
to the Senate that these two seats were
vacant. Had they done this the Sen
ate would have stood five to five, ant
there is 10 telling when the contest

IVY TIMES ARE DILL.

The whole country is engaged at
this time ia paying, extending, on com.
promising debts, and has been cyel
since the collapse of 1873. The treas
ury figures the money movements, and
the change of ownership going on every,
where, show this. The government
which is the greatest and most reckles,
of all debtors, has begun tolcontiact
its legal tender issue, orin other words
to pay its current debt
II has called in s3,953, 900 of its
grcenbacks and s3,627, 900 of its iinc-
tional currcncy-making total Of 81 :
$50 1000 in the currency. At the same
time the banks are reducing their in.
dcbtedness They have more notes on
hand than they find Investment for
and rather than keep il Idle in THEN
vaults, they are redceming it at fiiteon
per cent. discount, 10 avoid rcdeeming
il in gold after 1879.
The statements show that there was
S16,702, ,000 less of national bank notes
out on March of this year than fous.
teen months previously. The total re.
duetion ofcurrency, therefore, has been
s2i 2S2, 900 since 1873. The bank con
traction is still going on the amount
of bank notes being redeemed and re
tired is larger than the amount issued
by new banks--so that the currency
is contracting itself without asking the
permission Of politicians and financieis.
When there shall have been n sufii.

establish credit-when the volume OF
currency, which is only form of debt,
shall have contracted till the present
redundancy in the banks shall have
disappeared-then there will be new
