RETRENCHMENT.

The House Committee on Appropria-
tions are working very earnestly IN the
cause of fretrenchment, and in way which
will secure to them the thanks of debt la
den and overburdened tavpaying people.
This committee has decided among other
things to recommend that the salary OF
the President be reduced to $4,000 to
take effect in the "a eofGRANTs s successor
thepresent incumbent's compensation be.
ing fixed by law at $4,000. That O
the Speaker of the House is reduced to
$500.
The salary ot the Vice e-President was
left unchanged, at $4,000. The compen-
sation Of the Cabiuet was also left un-
touched. as will be that of the Judges Of
the Court of Claims, the latter officials,
like the Justices of the Supreme Court,
being evidently-among those whose re.
muneration cannot bc altered while they
are in office.

THE APPOINTMENT OF TREAS
URER.

There has been much speculation as to
who will be appointed Treasurer to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the removal
Mr. BuRDErr. The pro liability is that
the time has been go short that the Gov
ernor has not had an opportunity to give
the matter that consideration he would
require and that would be proper. And
the necessity for having the office filled
Immediately by some one will lead to a
temporary appointment. This course Is
suggested to us as the wlsest
under all the circumstances. The
names of several gentlemen have
been mentioned in connection
with the appointment, among whom Is
that OF Mr.. SoRIEsKI BRADY, of this
CITY. We know no one who has more
eminent qualifications for the. position
than Mr.. BRADY, and certainly no ap-
pointment could be made that would give
more general satisfaction.

Editors OF the Register.
Peter" arises this morning well and
hearty, for which he feelsthankful to the
great giver of all goodness, and comes to
YOU greeting. wish the newly installed
of the REGISTER, the greatest success, and
hope the late proprietor, MIR. Baker, may
have many days of future usefulness.
We have it very rainy in our district,
and mud, positive muddy, comparative
muddier, superlative muddiest l ever
saw.
lam truly sorry to say that there is a
report that our neighborhood has been
"Beecherzed" by man wearing the
black coat and calling himself minister
of the Gospel. The report is that the said
parson made dishonorable proposals to a
sister of the church, and that the husband
of the lady in question gave Mr.. Preacher
a slight mauling, for which he don't feel
happy. AS to this report have no opin-
ion to offer, but Timothy Dobble," who
"a sitting close to me, says "lf preacher
is a man ofundei strnding, and carries
himself through the world with that
prudence which should form the charac-
teristics of a Gospel minister, he will not
be the subject of such reports Then
Timothy" took very large chew OF
tobacco and left, hoping that somebody
would get married pretty soon, so he
could write blow.otf.
The health in our district Is good.
Some boys of MIR. Wayman, near Fair
view, in our district, were hunting squir.
rels. Two of the boys shot at one in the
top of tree, and Mr.. Squirrel beginning
to show signs Of an exit, one OF the
bows, | suppose for little mischief, held
up his hands to catch the game as 1t fell,
and strange to say, it fell in his hands
with life enough to bite him.
Hons. Blaine and Hill have made con-
siderable excitement over the person Of
Hon. Jeff Davis. Query-Did Blaine
kill Davis or himself? Blaine on JEFF.
Dayisism, and the Hon. A. Turner, of
Marshall county, on Catholicism, are
enough to give a healthy man the gout
A West Virginia editor very wittily
says that the "Hon. a. IL. StePnens' Vi
Georgia is too weak to draw his last
breath" Is this dignity?
We have fourteen schools in our dis
triet, which are reported as doing well.
Messrs. Yeho, Parsons. Wayman, Rine,
Lutus and Misses Mozena and lost have
been the most prompt in their reports.
Then 1t is said that Powell, Newmans,
&c. are doing we'll. g,
The two last freezes were pretty hard
on the growing wheat, but l think the
wheat 90. such good start in the fal. 1t
will be all right.
There is now good promise for
peaches the coming season. II SO "Peter
will have good crop. He will SEND you
a few boxes on good terms.
For the next nine months We expect
to fight the Radicals on their own line
and elect n Democratic President. Then

FROM the Huntington Advertiser WI
learn that sales of real estate at Milton

ment.
THE question of the retroceding Alex.
andria, Va, to the District of Columbia is
coming into notice. This makes the Al.
exander Gazette say: "lf the act retro
ceding Alexandria to Virginia was un.
constitutional, the act 6y which it was
originally annexed to the District OF
Columbia was 80 likewise, and conse
quenlly the Federal Capital stands on
unconstitutional grounds. But then, if
constitutionslity is to obtain sway again,
where will West Virginia BET
THE Weston Democrat says: We
learn by letter from Missouri that F.
NJ. Kee, son of Col. Kee, of this
county, is in luck. By recent operations,
it has been discovered that upon lands
owned by him in Macon county, Mis-
souri,, gold in paying quantities has been
discovered. Nuggets varying in value
from 80 cents to $3.50 are frequently
found on the surface. Mr.. Kee expects
to enter busily on the work Of develop.
ing this new-fouud treasure early IN the
coming Spring.
THE jackson county Ne,c. is indig-
nant over an outrage which has been
committed lately in its neighborhood. 1t
says: "a protracted meeting had been
going on In one of the churches for some
weeks, and much good was being accom-
plished. On the occasion above referred
to large concourse of people, from all
parts OF the neighborhood, had assembled
at the church, many of whom had come
on horseback and in buggies, and during
the exercises of the meeting the horses
were loosened, the brides and
saddles cut, and the tops torn off the
buggies, one of (which belonged to
Mr.. Winney Williamson. 1t is indeed
coming to pretty state of affairs when
the people of civilized community can
not worship God without having their
property destroyed while so doing; and
the miserable wretches who committed
the outrage, we are afraid have sunk SO
low in sin and inIquity that the prayers
of the righteous would avail them moth
ing, and the best thing they can do is to
sneak of to some cave, inhabited by owls,
bats, Lizards, and snakes, and there shut
themselves up forever from the light OF
day, and the sight of man.

Fight with Indian Cattle Thieves

LEAvENwoRTH, KANSAS, January 26.
"A special to the Times from Camp Sup
ply, Indian Territory says, on the 10Th
a messenger arrived at this post with
the news that party Of Osages had
stolen so cattle from the camp of Lee
and Reynolds about 80 miles south of
this place. The herders followed the trail
10 miles, but being unable to overtake
the Indians had been sent to this place to
procure aid. Major Gordon of the Fifth
Cavalry, commanding at this post order

$50 men started the same night with or

the latter be overtaken, and
If necessary pursue them TO their agency,
and demand the surrender of the thlev es

accompanied the command as guide.
The detachment returned to-day, bring

and thirty-tive Indian ponies. About

men, the Indians were taken by surprise,
and being dismounted were unable to
escape and rather than surrender made q
determined tThrec Indians were XII =
ed and several wounded, who escaped, and
the band dispersed. With one exception
all the lodg ges were burned. One old
squaw declared she would rather be killed
than 60 as u prisoner, and she was left
as the sole occupant Of the camp. The
stolen cattle had been slaughtered before
the Indians were overtaken. The pris
oncrs acknowledged the guilt of their
band, and the loss they have received
will serve as check to future raids, and
the punishment inflicted upon them
has been richly deserved for their depre-
dations for some years in this section.

Frozen 10 Death While Drunk.

ROCKFORD, Ills, January 29.-Pst-
rick Gartlandt and wife were found this
morning near their farm, five miles south
of this city, frozen to death. They had
been doing some marketing here during
the day and last night started home in
an open wagon. Both were probably
under the influence of liquor. Mrs. Cart
landt either fell from the wagon or was
thrown from it, and striking in the mud
dy road face downward, was frozen to
death in that position. Her husband was
found near the hog pen Of his place also
frozen stiff. The coroners jury rendered
verdict of frozen to death while under
the effects of intoxicating liquors.

FIJI its place that is inferior, the American
people being judges. l submit, then,
that the State cannot afford 70 reject the
best book in the world for this purpose,
and substitute an inferior one in Its stead.
This would be an unreasonable thing in
any department of training, from the A
BIC TO the highest development OF in
tellectual or moral power in her citizens.
The State cannot, then, with safety to her
self reject the Bible from our public
schools. If she does, she hazards her
own existance in few generations.
That the Stase should have these great
principles thst underlle good govern
ment, deeply and. firmly implanted in
every citizens heart early in life, l think
no one can doubt; and that she can do it
without teaching any sectarian tenets or
infringing Oh the rights of the Church l
am quite we'll persuaded. In country
like this where we have no State religion
and where sects of Christians abound
with many other shades of belief and un-
belief, no law could be framed that would
please all, or silence all complainers.
The State under such circumstances must
have an eye to her own good, her own
safety. That no religious sect should be
allowed to control the public schools, or
be allowed its'pro rata of the public fund,
is. with all friends of the public schools
who think correctly, a settled question.
Laws must be general; if one sect or. re-
ligious party may demand its pro rata OF
the public school fund, so, on the same
principle, NAV all others; but If each
sect must have its proportion Of the
public school fund, what be
comes of the public schools? They
would on this principle be at once
broken up and destroyed. The State
should in all her efforts seek the general
good, and if any of her citizens have
conscience averse to the requirement Of
the State they must change their con-
science, suffer the penalty or seek anoth-
er State. No State can meet the conscien-
tious convictions of a score of conflicting
sects, and it is useless to make any ef-
fort. Let the State devise liberal
school system, embracing intellectual and
moral culture, such as will make the best
of citizens, and enforce it upon all alike,
thus providing for her own future safety
and perpetuity.
But let not one extreme beget another.
Because some sect and acme ministers of
religion have over stepped their rights
and endangered either the public schools
or the State itself, do not ostracize all
ministers of the gospel from either the
affairs of the State or the public schools.
The church if let alone can get along
without the State, but the Statecannet get
along without religion or its assistance.
