WHILE the chairman of the Mississippi
Democratic State Central Committee tele-
graphed to the General Government that
the white citizens of the State would aid
Gov Ames, in the absence of organized
militia force, to preserve the peace, his
organ, the Vicksburg Herald, printed the
following advice to its readers:
awe have only to say to our gallant young
men, avoid Ames and his militia as you would
a pestilence. : You can keep the
peace and preserve order, whenever it is neces=
sary, without the badge of Ames, or recogniz-
ing his militia in any way. You will best
preserve your own seIfrespect by having moth
ing to do with his wicked, unlawful and IN
constitutional standing army. Bid the foul
tyrant ayaunt ="

explain. Even the New York Times, OF
which he was the editor at enc time, finds
itself compelled to deDounce him as q
selfish end unprincipled man who stuck to
the Republican party only so long as he
could gain anything by 1t. Perhaps the
Democrats may forgive m for this; but
if they do they are welcome 20 him and all

The New York World is panied to
see that Sam Bowles has so little influence
in Massachusetts, OF course it is; so long
as Bowles fails as he did at Worcester in
his efforts to injure the Republican party
the rain will be continued For this
reason, probably, it is anxious to know
whether Bowles intends to support the
next Republican candidate for President,
even if it should be General Grant. This
is question in which Republicans gen
orally have very little interest; but it
comes naturally from Democratic source.

THE Norfolk Landmark finds fault with
President Grants allusion to Paganism in
his Des Moines speech. This is quite nat

of despair. The Republican journals, on the
other hand, are exceedingly jubilant and con
fident of victory. There may be nothing to
warrant these changes, but they are there, and
are given for what they are worth.

The Indian Investigation.

last week we announced the appointment
af Hon. c. j. Faulkner as one of Commits
sion to investigate alleged frauds in the Indian
Department Of the Government. The duties
Of the Commission at New York having been
Concluded the Commissioners have proceeded
10 The Red Cloud Agency. Mr. Faulkner has
been interviewed by reporter Of the Tribune,
regarding his position as member of the
commission. 1t was evidently considered
strange that be, q Democratic member Of Con-
srcss, should be appointed to investigate
charges against member Of the Cabinet Of
the present administration. The result Of the
interview is published as follows:
Speaking Of the manner in which the COM
missi0uers were appointed, Mr.. Faulkner said
that his selection as member OF the commits
sion was entirely unexpected by him. lie had
accepted the duty most reluctantly, and solely
upon the ground that he did not feel himself
AZ liberty 10 decline any service which might
result in benefit to the country. The admin
is.ra,ion knew what his position in politics
was. and il was well aware that II could eX-
pect no partial report from him. Justice 1t
had right to expect, and justice II should
have. Ills instructions were definite and sat
isGctorv. The Commissioners were 10 ferret
cut AMI expose fraud, corruption, and abuse
ia every form in the inquiry. He would ex-
press no opinion as to the truth of Prof.
Marsh's charges or concerning the conduct OF
Sayille at the Red Cloud Agency, nor would
. ! e ,f1,fFof lNffp Of the
Secretary Of the Interior, aud Of the Commis-
siouer Of Indian affairs in the frauds aud mis-
/ management which Prof Marsh had charged.
/ These points are now under examination
and Mr.. Faulkner would reserve his opinion
until the evidence was completed. But he
had long believed that there were few Of the
/ Indian Agencies in the West in which wrong
was not practisel upon both the Government
and the Indians These Agencies were far
removed from executive supervision loose
system Of distribution had prevailed; the
contract for the supply Of provisions and an
uuity were large, and could be made to yield
large profits the Indians were ignorant and
helpless, the temptations to fraud were great
and an Indian Ring had sought by artiul and
powerful combinations 90 control the business
of that remote region SO that the wiSest pre-
cautions Of the Goveruue mt might prove una
vailing to protect itself and the Indians from
wrong and Injustice. Mr.. Faulkner said that
be had not prejudgei the facts in the case oil
the persons whose conduct was the subject OF
inquiry, but he felt that the country demanded
a thorough investigation into the system
aud practise Of Indian supplies. He was pre-.
pared to undergo any labor which might lead
tOu satisfactory conclusion"
