PRIMARY ELECTIONS. We have just had
specimen that so called panacea for all evils
III party walflre-a primary election. The re-
suit is not know as | write, but enough is
known to determine many never to take part
in another. Two successive years gentleman
was nominated for the Mayoralty by City
Convention, and defeated by uen who bad
gone into the convention or the ward meetings
which constituted it. Theu it was said that
conventions We're, or could be-, packed that
they did not express the will Of the people, &c.
Now We have tried the plan then suggested.
Friends OF each candidate have held primary
election and reported unanimously that all its
proceedings were fair, aud yet We see to day,
meu vino supported the unsuccessful man in
that election active in opposing his competitor
at the polls, aud even resortiug to false state
ments to defeat him. What then is primary
election but dcvic. to bind honorable, while
it does not bind dlshoDorable men and why
should man who intends, i'll good faith, to
keep the engagements with which he cutters,
put himself 10 the power of those who will use
him If they can. to elect their friends, but will
defeat his, per jas aut mefas. This 'heads |
win, tails y,u lUse game IS about played out

10 the town OF Holyoke, Mass, last evening,
at the close of vespers 10 the French Catholic
Church, the altar draperies took fire, and be-
fore the congregation could escape the whole
church was involved. Sixty-six mep, women
and children lost their lives in the panic and
the flames. The fire caught from the altar
lights and was quickly communicated to the
ceilings, and thence spread with such terrible
iapidity that though those in the body of the
church generally escaped, the people in the
gallery either became damned in the stairways
and we're sufocated, or, jumping to the hoor
below, we're trampled to death.

ATExANDRIA, VIRGINIA.
FRIDAY, MAY d.
The Indians.

The Sioux Indians who called upon Presi
dent Grant by appointment gu "Wednesday,
were told by him that he was going to say fe"
words to them and he did not want reply at
present; be had always been their friend, and
he gave them to understand their thoroughly
dependent condition upon the government. The
whites were increasing, and it was necessary
that the white people shall 60 from one place
to another. whether occupied by Indians or not
the same as they 20 from Que State to another.
For this reason it is very desirable that While
they have friends to look after their interests
thew should be situated where they would be
able to get support beyond any contingency.
After telling them of the difficulties encounter
ed in keeping people from invading the Indian
reservations, he advised them to think Sc.
riously of removing to a territory south of
where they now live, where the climate
is very much better, where the grass is
much better, aod where game is much more
abundant, including large game, such as the
buffalo, where there is good pasturage tor
animals, and where teachers can be sent among
the Indians to instruct them in the arts Of civil
Iization and the means of sef.preservation and
support. The Indians were disappointed 10 not
being able to reply.
The Indian Chiefs had conference yesterday
with Secretary Delano and the Commissioner
ofIndian Affairs The objected of the Govern
ment is to induce the Indians to abandon the
Black Hills country and locate in the Indian
Territory and also to give up their right to hunt
10 certain localities in consideration of being
paid $4,000: but the Chiefs are obstinate.
They do not want to remove to the Indian Ter.
ritory, but might surrender the hunting privi-
eges if the compensation were Increased to
$4,000. They want farming implements, and
Spotted Tail seemed to think that he could not
be successful agricuturst unless be got saw
mill. They talked of returning home immed-
ately, perhaps to come back With larger dele
CATION. They say they do not understand what
the Secretary means when he tells them that
the Government does not intend to force them
to leave their reservation, and then tells them
if they do not 60 the white men will be allowed
to 90 into their country. They think there is
room enough for them 90 their reservation
without the Black Hills, but they are determn-
ed not to go to the Indian Territory, They
claim that it will take the whole force OF the
Government to drive them oat.
