Nor ONLY does the Detective Press charge
that Secretary Delano and Commissioner
Smith are guilty of the charges alleged
against them before an investigation has been
made, but that the commission appointed
to make the investigation is composed OF
men who will willingly perjure themselves
by making a false report. These commits
sioners, it should be remembered, are ex-
Governor Fletcher, of Missouri; the Hon.
B. W. Harris, of Massachusetts; the Hon.
Charles A. Faulkner, of West Virginia;
Senators Howe, of Wisconsin, and Morrill,,
of Maine; and Prof. Atherton, of Rutgers
College. 1t is barely possible that the pub
Lie, entertaining different opinion, will
wait until the commissioners render their
report before reaching final conclusion.

MOODY AND sANKEY.


There Is time and place for all things.
At the reassembling Of the lower House
Of Congress will be the time, and Wash.
ington- the place, for Sankey and Moody to
commence o vigorous campaign against
the sin and iniquity which, through natu.
raj surroundings and circumstances, will
attempt to take root and make the capital
their home. Political demsgogues. as a
general thing, are as impervious TO the
puncturing force Of religious shafts as the
broadsides Of the saurian reptiles are to the
puerile nibblings Of the water-knat. They
seem endowed with stretchy pliable con-
science that can find justification and con.
tentment in the performance Of any deed
that will help work out their ends. They
have, without the remotest doubt, been the
most frequent subjects of conversation and
concern among the angelic councils in the
heavenly department that regulates and
reforms mankind. And why not? Those
who walk in private ways, and upon whose
shoulders the responsibilities of good
government, of national prosperity and
faithful administration OF laws rest, have
neither the scope nor power to subserve
the interests Of God and the country for
personal sggrandizement that lies within
the grasp of the political demagogue.
Heaven, therefore, in accordance with the
eternal fitness of things, has made it a
primal and imperative duty to direct its
reformatory shafts of morality against the
most conspicuous power of darkness, in
whatever form or disguise it may per-
chance be found. In view of this truth,
would it not be an appropriate and strictly
proper time next winter for Sankey and
Moody to come among us. The objects for
the moral shafts would then be with us.
The good and famous men could step at
once into an arena of needed reformation
broad and deep enough for an age of per-
sistent and arduous toll. The material will
be ready for the revivalists in less than two
weeks after the Speakers hammer calls
them to order for the first time. There is
something awfully solemn and important
about this suggestion, something that will
at first thought straighten laughing wrinkles
in the human face divine; something that
will touch responsive chord in every
heart that harbors 9 love for country; some
thing that will meet with the appreciation
of the community, the common country
and the world at large. Yes, have those
Christian gentlemen come. Urge them for
the sake of dying humanity to come. They
must come. We will need them. They
brought ten thousand British souls stepped
in the elements of eternal death into the
benign influence of Christian life. For
this they received the congratulations of
earth and.the blessings of Heaven. Now
if they will only snatch the next Demo
cratic Congress like brand from the burn
iDg-worse, from out the pestilential
shades of corruption, disloyalty and politi-
cal avarice which will shroud them as
gloomy pall-the American people will
bow their heads in gratitude, and from the
heavens will come. "Well done"

afiliation with the Republican party, and
have enjoyed with it, including its Aboli-
ton members, the gratifying glory of
winning victories over the common enemy.
When 1t is remembered that the abolition
Of slavery isa fixed fact when 1t Is con-
ceded that sectionalism shall be forever
banished as the twin sister of State-rights
treason, and when the selfish encroach-
ments of the Southern Confederate mill
tary ring become more apparent, there is
no reason TO doubt the possibility and
probability that the Southern Wings will
sever their connection with their newly
found allies. Many of them have already
done this, and do not vote at all with
either party. Why, then, should they
not, one and all, without further delay,
clasp hands with their natural associates
in enmity to the Democracy. They GER
talnly cannot stand alone, for they are not
strong enough; they certainly realize moth
ing but indirect insult and outright ne
glect by remaining with the Democrats,
and If they join the Republican ranks they
have everything to gain and nothing to
lose,

vate reputation Is that few Insignificant
newspaper scribblers In Washington and
elsewhere shall combine to publish un-
founded ISLANDERS against the character of
any Government officer who may have In.
CURED their dIsfavor. Instantly the De.
tective Press takes up these ISLANDERS, am.
plifies them, and frantically appeals to the
authorities for the removal and punishment
Of the accused. Then, If the authorities,
preferring to make an Investigation Of the
charges before giving them an apparent
solidity by responding favorably to such
appeals, take the trouble and the wise pre-
caution to order an investigation, the same
disreputable miscreants charge that the
Administration is guilty of condoning the
crimes of its subordinates. In this way
political capital is manufactured, and at
the same time the malicious propensities
of horde of scandal-mongers are gratifed.
And this is called Freedom of the press. &"

1TIUsT now have become apparent, to even
the most obtuse general reader, that our
frequent allegations regarding the charges
made against the management of our In
dian affairs have been based upon safe as
sumptions that no positive evidence of the
guilt of any official exists to require imme-
diate action by the President in the way of
removals from Office of suspected parties.
The address of the Board Of Indian Com
missioners ''lo the Christian Public set
ties this point satisfactorily. While it
admits that charges have been made upon
which these suspicious rest, 1t declares in
explanation that they came from disap-
pointed contractors and traders, whose
hope of gains, under the more careful let
ting of contracts and rigid inspection of
supplies, is gone. When hese charges are
investigated and the result shows that any
officer of the Government has been guilty

IT SEEMS that some ofthe correspondents
of the New York press, and notably local
morning journal, have been trapped into
the publication of a cock-and-bull story
about the District 365's which bears upon
its face the evidence of having been pre-
pared for the express purpose Of affecting
their market value. OF course we are
charitable enough to accept as an explana-
ton of the case the suggestion that they
were ignorant of the law regarding the
matter, but suspicion exists, no doubt un-
founded, that a promise of an interest in
profits expected from certain pending stock
transactions had something to do with it.
The facts regarding the issue and registra-
ton of the class of bonds referred to will be
found in our news columns this morning.

CHIEF ENGINEER CRoNIN, of the Dis
trict Fire Department, has added to his
many other acts of daring the crowning
achievement of having saved a human life
from destruction by the flames. The fire
on Massachusetts, avenue yesterday morn
ing was destructive enough as regards the
burning of valuable property; but his
heroic and successful effort to save the
seven-year-old daughter of Mrs. Levi alone
prevented it from becoming fatal disaster.
Such noble act deserves especial recogni-
ton. Cronin's bravery was of the excep-
tional kind, but it will serve to increase the
confidence of our citizens in the efficiency
of our gallant Fire Department.

ONE OF our evening contemporaries has
rendered itself liable to the charge of at
tempting to ''iniate" Cuban bonds by
publishing a fact-by telegraph, to be
sure-which can only be construed favor
ably to the Insurgents. We hope, how
ever, that the public will deal kindly with
it, and accept its publication Of ordinary
news, or an explanation of that news, if
it should attempt one, as simple proof of
its desire to do its level best in making a
readable newspaper. But we pity the
Insurgents and congratulate the Spaniards,
if it is actuated by any other motive.

of incompetency or fraud, it will be time
enough to make removals and provide for
their punishment. Until then, simple
justice requires TINT the wholesale SANDERS
ofthe Detective Press shall be accepted IS
the offspring of disreputable malice. The
public generally long ago reached this
conclusion, and now that It Is sustained In
1t by the approval Of the eminent gentle
men who compose the Board of %Commis-
sioners, it Is to be hoped that the ISLANDERS,
of which we complain, will cease. The
following extract from the concluding por-
ton Of the address will be read with in
terest:
"Much of the present clamor Is raised and
promoted by bad men, and Is aimed at this
humane policy with desire to destroy It, even
though its destruction should lead 70 the ex-
termination of the Indians. We cannot, there
fore, close this address without asking earnest
attention TO the fact that for several years the
Indian service, as q whole and in detail, has
been and still is virtually within the super
vision and control Of the religious bodies OF
the country, and upon them and the Christian
community will rest TO o large extent the ulti-
mate success or failure Of the policy OF hu-
manity and justice In our dealings with the
remnants Of this once powerful race"

Both parties were to blame for it. The Re
publicans advised their people to stay ava.
from the polls for which there was no neces
sity. There was no violence practiced agains
those persons who did vote the Republican

danger for all members Of the party to have
voted. Republicans staid away from thu

Captain Charles E. Fenner.
Is an attorney at law. The material interests
| of Louisiana have been depressed greatly, il
fact values have been almost annihilated
This result is attributable almost wholly to
the system of disagreement praclced
since the war. Immediately after the wal
property reached valuation never before
known in the State. Since the period of re-
construction values have declined until the
present day.
The government has been conducted by
men who came from the North for the express
purpose of praciicing politics. Taxation
reached figure almost if not quite double
that ever known before. 1t is notorious that
any scheme however monstrous could be
easily got through the Legis ature of the State
by the use of money. Witness called the at
TENT IN of the committee to the article pub
lished in the BULLETIN, wherein is shown the
conspiracy Of the Republicans to keep them
selves in power.
As long as this misgovernment continues
there can be no prosperity. If all material
distractions were removed, doubtless bust
ness would revive, but men would not come
here to stay and invest their means among US.
No hostility to the National Government has
been developed.
1t was determined, before the election, to
afford the Returning Board no excuse what
ever for the exercise of the extraordinary
power with which it is vested, in changing
the result Of the election as determined at the
polls; hence it was counseled on every hand
among Conservatives to use no intimidation OF
any character, or cause any disturbance on or
before the day of election. This counsel pre-
vailed and the election was very quiet one
in every respect.
Hugh j. Campbell filed a collection of
extracts from the BULLETIN and Picay,ne as
evidence; also the report of the State Regis
trar of Voters and reports of the election of
1868.
