Victor Miles, colored, Sheriff OF the

BY the Judge OF that parish for con-

OF the jail, without waiting for decree

THE public will be glad 10 know
that the Chinese question is now in u
fair way to receive the attention it'
importance demands at the hands oi
Congress. After being investigated
there is no question that intelligent
and effective action will follow. Tn,
Legislature of California last winter
set \ good example to Congress and
Congress has followed it. The Sacra,
mento Record proposed committe,
Of Senators to sit during the spring
months and take testimony on the
subject. The Records suggestion
was acted upon, and the result WA.
fraught with more good than could
be secured in any other way. Tn,
question was Sc, before Congress by
such men AS Rosch and Pixley in .
straightforward and convincing man
ner. Congress. however, being com
posed Of men from all parts Of tn.
Union and containing great ma
jority who never travelled westward o,
the Missouri river. was cautious abour
acting upon the question. In thi;
respect no blame can be attached tc
its members, for oil will admit thai
the subject is one of very various and
perplexing aspects. But the Seuat,
has passed resolution authorizing
the appointment Of commission o
three Senators TO proceed to the Pa
cifc coast and take testimony. TIL
House has passed q resolution Of tn
same kind Introduced by Congress

WHAT THE COUNTRY DE
MANDS.

Daring the pending bsfore Con
eress of the question OF transmit
ting the case of the Indians TO tbs
War Department we stated severa
cogent reasons why such change
should be made. A spurious sen
| Immortality. mainly set forth oy
pretending Christians, defeated the
bill, 10 the Senate. The present
situation in the northwest suggests
the folly of trifling with the In
dams. Apropos of recent occur
rences the New York Grapaic says
Before Congress adjourns i
should make provision to settle the
Indian question now aud forever
1t Should
l. Change the whole system ct
dea ing with the Indians, and lie
Glue to recognize their tribes any
longer as separate nationallties
Make all Indians subjects OF the

liant of the United States. Destroy
forever the fiction of the in 'eptnd
ent nationality Of each tribe. with
attendant treaties. commissioners,
agents and other meme. wasting
and demoralizing associations.
2. Pending this change of sys em
place the indians under the control
Of the War Department. The sys
TEN under which We have been
managing the Indians has been In.
effective and prolific source of
corruption. 1t has not saved us
from wars; it has wasted the snb-
stance of the natss'n; IT has injured
our civil service and cast suspicion
upon the legislative branch of the
Government, Let the army manage
tue indians until a better system

special use on the Western frontier.

Ii is needless TO say that Cou-
Srrss will d, nothing Of the kiud.
Not because there are no reasons for
uch action. bu, because the infiu-
euce OF certain lot OF subordi-
mates IN the Indian Department,
bring SO much influence to bear
thai Congress Is unable to overcome
1t. Wrong with two mouths in the
iobbies Of Congress Is stronger
than right with one.

SOFT AND HARD.

The singular appearance of a sof'
| and a hard money advocate on the
/ same ticket is exciting a good dea
nf comment. A recent dispatch from
Saratoga says that Tilden and Hen
bricks have had conference at that
place with a view to some conces'
sions on one side or the other in order
that the anomaly of their juxtaposi'
.,on before the people may be IN
some way mitigated. Tilden, it is
said, cannot shape his letter OF &C
ceptance to suit him with a soft
money man bringing up the rear as
Hendricks does. Hendricks is firm
in his position and will not yield
cannot. in fact. and be at all consist
emf. He has threatened to resign IN
case Tilden comes boldly out for hard
money and speedy resumption. THE
d,ffereuces between them on this
poiut is said t. be irreconcilable.. II
NAV vet result in a split in the party,
although such an event is scarcely
probable. The slacrity with which
all factions wheeled into line after
the nominations leads one t. sup
pose that il would take quite IA MI
mentous issue-one even more 5"
than the currency question--to cause
a division in the ranks of the we'll
drilled Democracy. Their tealty %
party has been shown over and over.
and the present occasion is one that
calls for 3 solid phslanx at the polls.
There need therefore be no fears of
disruption, for the struggle would
then be lost So Overwhelmingly that
the party could scarcely ever again
summon the face to appear IN pubic.

Eureka Mining Items.

1t is gratifying in the present con-

general depression Of mining enter
prise in this State TO observe that in
some localities delving for the silver
is so far from being wholly sban-
doned that new enterprises Of tho
kind are being opened and old claims
being worked with new energy.
From an exchange printed in the
eastern PARTON Of the State We ex.
tract the following items falling un.
