Carl Schulz on the Situation.

Ex-senator Carl Schurz has contri-
buted an article to the Westleche Post.
of St. Louis, and speaks as follows on
the Democratic Situation:
How little this discipline has availed
with the Democratic party we can now
see every day. A spectacle Eof help
lessness more melancholy than the
Democratic majority in the house of
representatives DOW offers can scarcely
be found in the history of parties
What great things were prophesied
when this party should get into its
hands even part of the power of
Government! And now the possession
of this power in the house Of repres-
entatives has only afforded new op-
portunity for one moral overthrow after
another, until the best heads of the
party curse their victory in the year
1874, because it has only brought their
impotence to light and inspired their
antagonists with new vitality. And
yet we see the machine busy at work
not to carry through the nomination ol
one OF their best men tor president
but that OF some one who entirely re-
presents the want of substance ane
principle in the party, in order that il
this way they may keep the old con.
Germ somehow together.

eighty-fve families have settled in this

hard to earn their bread by the sweat

introduced into Congress appropriating
from the Winnebsgo fund $50 for each
Indian to aid them in improving their
home..eads. The Government having
consented to their stag here, after this
the annuity due them on their reserva-

signiied their willingness to perform
this pleasant duty None of them.
