inous silence of over two years.
he is somewhere 10 the interior OF Cen

time he was sent out by the Herald and
one Of the London papers to discover the
source Of the Nile and settle certain
other geographical problems which
bAfled the learned men Of the world

Herodotus. If be succeeds he IA i'm.

THE INDIAN PROBLEM.

Red Cloud and Red Dog are SHARP
fellows. They made talks yesterday tC
the commissioners sent ont to negotiate
for the purchase Of the Black Hills
which, for ingenuity and hard common
sense, are rarely excelled by the repre-
sentative men Of civilized people. They
complained first that the commissioners
came attended by a large body of troops,
and next, that they feared a proper in
depreciation would not be made. A half
breed boy was selested to write down
what might be said, aud Red Dog then
proceeded. He said that for six genera
tions the Indians had been fed by the
government, and that he wanted guaran-
tees for seven generations longer. He
wanted pay for the gold already taken
out Of the Black Hills, and would sell
only the portions in which gold had been
discovered. he wanted as pay o light
wagon and span Of horses, six head Of
cattle and a gun and ammunition for
each head of a family. He also insisted
that in future, when the annuity goods are
received aduplicate bill shallbe furnished
the Indians, so that they IA examine it.
This looks like business. Spotted Tail
charged openly that when the chiefs
called the day previous the Commits
sioners we're drunk. If his people
moved again be wanted money enough
50 they could live on the interest. He
wanted the troops removed from the
agencies and set to watching the Black
Hills, little knowing or perhaps caring
how greatly this would Inconvenience
the government sutlers. The price he
Gets on the Black Hills is $70,00O,0 600,
which he wanted put out st interest for
the use of bis people; and further, he
wanted Catholic priests to come among
them and educate their children. He
too demanded duplicats bills of an.
n%uities; and also a telegraphic operator
at the agency. the removal Of the troops
and a we'll stocked farm for each family.
These Indians are the s~hrewdest and most
dangerous Of all the tribes in existence,
and will yet give the government great
trouble. The Commissioners are a set
Of pets sent out by the government,
utterly ignorant Of Indian character and
unfit for their duties. 1t is predicted
that no treaty viii be perfected by them.

VIZ regret to learn that considerable
sickness Of a malarial type prevails in
the rural districts adjacen. to Memphis,
both up ADD down the river. This is the
case, we leara, in Middle Tennessee and
Kentucky, and is attributable doubtless
to the heavy rains Of the last snmmer
and the overhows Of rivers, cracks and
bottoms everywhere. The apddan
changes Of weather from hot TO cool
and cool to warm have likewise had an
unhealthy effect, producing chilis aud
fever. Our city is not entirely exempt
from cases Of this kind, but the number
is insignificant, and most Of the attacks

leries then and there situated In the

And the indictment declares that this
whisky was, in furtherance of this con-
spiracy,. unlawfully removed from tho
distilleries without paying the tax.
The statute does not contain any pro-
vision permitting the whisky tax to be
evaded for the benefit Of a political
party, or for the election OF certain can
didates for Office, although II would GER
tainly, In popular estimation, change
the character of the offense somewhat

party.
But, on this theory. those leaders
ought all to be indicted as conspirers
against the revenue, II they knew OF tho
plan adopted to obtain the money.
Whether In Missouri an indicted par
ty can be ~ witness In his own behalf
we do not know, but we assume he can
not. Congress has, by national law,

dained that parties i'm cipH actions can
be permitted to testify, but In criminal
actions the laws Of the State where the
trial takes place are 10 control If,
however, Babcock and Joyce can be
witnesses in st. Louis they can ut least
offer TO tell the court and jury what was
done with any whisky money which tho
prosecution may prove into their hands,

the prosecution Of distribution of spoils.

The Trial Of BabcOck.

The news from St. Louis is to the
effect that Babcock has not pleaded
either guilty" or mot guilty" to the
Joint indictment against him and Joyce,
and that the indictment, and all under
it, has been transferred from the Dis
trict to the Circuit Court, which meets
about the middle of next month.
The Herald correspondence from st.
Louis has several times intimated, and
it's published confession OF Mcdonald
is in the same direction, that one ground
of defense will be that in the beginning
the money obtained from the inculpated
distillers was used to promote the sue
cess Of the Republican ticket in several
elections, including the canvass of
Greeley and Grant.
II there be any foundation for the
theory, we do sincerely hope it will turn
out that the President was utterly ig-
norant Of all such doings. We are un-
relenting opponents of the party in
power at the White House, but we have
no desire to see our national nest de
filed i'll that manner.
But we do not see how such defense,
if admissible and proved, is, before the
court, to benefit either Babcock or
Joyce. The indictment says that they
