Clum, of Arizona, arrived here few days
since with a delegation of twenty-five
Apache Indians which he proposes to take

be done with wild Indians towards civiliza-

were part Of Cochise band, were wild and
murderous, and exceedingly hostile, but
now are civilized. One of them, Tago, a
son of Cochise, died here yesterday with
the Pneumonia and was buried to day in

VIENNA, Sept. 27.-The "Political Cor

Gle on the proclamation of Prince Milan as
King as follows:
"The Austro-Hungarian Government
cannot allow any doubt to be entertained on
one point, namely, that it would in no case
be inclined to recognize the title of King if
it were conferred on Prince Milan, and that
all political consequences sought to be
drawn from such an act would encounter
its determined protest."

Commissioner Raum has issued circular
letter to United States Attorneys in Phila-

Milwaukee and other important districts in
various parts of the country, authorizing
them to institute suits against all parties
against whom evidence can be presented of
not having pail the whole or any portion Of
taxes due the Government, under the law
providing for tax upon incomes. This will
render persons liable to suit for such re-
covery from the date at which this tax first
went into effect, and the commissioner en-
tertains the opinion that the result of his
action will be to recover considerable sum
of money to the Government.

THE eloquent and mastery exposition Of
District affairs in the Senate yesterday by
Mr.. Sargent, of California, will be found
very fully sketched in our reports. He
succeeded in placing the responsibilities for
the present condition of our Indebtedness
just where it belongs. He fixed it upon
Congress. He showed that Congress had
been tinkering and investigating, authoriz-
ing and prohibiting all sorts of things here
ever since 1870, and exercising over this
District the most watchful care. 1t has
disfranchised the citizens and broken up all
the responsibility of self government on the
part of the people through the ballot, and
assumed to know that strangers could man
age District affairs better than its own peo-
pie. This mess which we are now in,
whatever it may be, is one of Congress
own cooking. The debt is one Of its own
making. Let it, then, provide for it by
proper appropriations. In discussing the
subject Senator Sargent called attention re-
peatedly to the fact that this question of
Government responsibility for this debt
had been frequently discussed and fully
understood in the Senate from the time Of
the adoption of the present form Of gov
ernment. There could be no doubt about
it. The remarks of Mr.. Sargent were
timely and well put, although the Demo
Gratis and few Republicans were some
what annoyed at the inconsistencies which
he exposed. The disfranchised residents

gratitude for coming to the defense of their
interests, which we trust they will hasten
to acknowledge ,on all proper occasions.

GEN. II. G. WORTHINGTON, collector of
the port of Charleston, is reported in the
New York Tribune TO be in Washington
ito receive his removal The Washing
ton correspondent of that journal declares
that the removal has been decided upon
because Worthington is said TO be rela-
tive Of the ex-Speaker er"-meaning Mr..
Blaine. The idea intended to be conveyed
by these declarations is that the Admins
tration is engaged in a war in behalf Of
itself or Senator COnkling against the
friends of Mr.. Blaine's aspirations for the
Presidential nomination. We happen 10
know that there is no truth in this. If
Gen. Worthington has expressed any de-
cideG preference regarding the nomina.
tion, his first choice has undoubtedly been
President Grant. Like the majority Of
straightforward Southern Republicans he
feels the necessity Of retaining at the head
Of the Government some man who will do
as much, at least, as the President has in
the direction of protecting the lives, rights
and property Of Republican voters in the
Southern States The records OF the
Treasury Department show that his ac-
counts have been correctly kept, that the
administration of his Office has been en-
tireiy satisfactory, and that, in short, the
Charleston custom house under his con-
Irol has been a model establishment 1t is
true that hc has been threatened with re-
IaoYal through the influence of purely
Stale or local political manipulstions, but
it is untrue that he has ''been marked, - or
that lie will probably have to stand aside
for some Third Term advocate" Such an
idea never would have entered the head Of
any one except Tribune correspondent
intent upon filling his columns with Third
Term spookisms.

Democratic House of the Louisiana Assem-
bly, has so far appreciated the necessity of his
certificate as to appoint Especial committee
to wait upon him and ask his certificate in
behalf Of Mr.. Eustis.
The question of rival State governments
is no longer before the Senate. With the
withdrawal of McMillan's contest, who
bore McEnery's credentials. this complica-
ton disappeared, and the Senate can no
longer raise or discuss the question as TO
the executive claim or status of McEnery,
because McEnery neither by memorial nor
by credentials is before that body. There
is no further excuse or justification to evade
or to postpone action upon the credentials
of Hon. P. B. S. Pinchback on the ground
that the status of the party giving them is
in question. The State Legislature recog-
nizes Kellogg as Governor; the State courts
recognize him as Governor the Federal
courts recognize him as Governor; the
present lower House of Congress, by ac-
cepting his credentials, recognizes him as
Governor the President Of the United
States recognizes him as Governor, and the
United States Senate indorses the Presi-
dent; the people Of Louisiana recognize
him as Governor, by obedience to the laws /;
and, finally, the only party in protest and
contest, John McEnery. drops out Of the
question, by the voluntary abandonment of
the contest by Mcmillan, who alone bore
his credentials. Events and facts, thus
briefly enumerated, seem to us to deter
mine the duty Of the Senate. Neither doubt
ing Republicans nor Democrats, without
violence to honest convictions and wrong
to the people of Louisiana, can longer de-
lay the settlement of the Louisiana question
or fail to recognize the credentials of
Senator Pinch back. Time and events have
simplifed this complex question, and the
issue not presented for the consideration
of the Senate is whether Louisiana shall
longer be deprived Of her full representa-
tion in the Senate without her consent, and
whether Mr.. Pinchback, bearing the Gre
dentials of the Observation-Disclosures
Governor Of the State, shall be recognized
or not Justice to Louisiana and to brave

TIE ELECTION of Mr.. Lamar by the
White Line Legislature Of Mississippi to the
United States Senate was an outrage upon
loyal men everywhere, and should he be
seated the Republicans of that State may

power of the Government, they have virtu-
allybeen turned over to the tender mercies
of unscrupulous rufians. The same law
less state of affairs which prevailed in
Georgia in 1870, and which rendered it easy
for the Democracy to succeed in that State,
was closely initiated in Mississippi, and

cation was the color of their skins, were
driven from the polls, The neglect Of the
Senate to investigate the Georgia election,
as Senator Morton now proposes the Mis-

GENERAL BANKs is credited with the
assertion that thus far the labors of Con-

They are drifting the signs are that Grant

where about this assertion. Either Gen.
Banks did not give utterance to it, or he
entirely misunderStands the situation. 1t
is true that the exhibitions of disloyalty
and sectionalism in the House which have
lately been so frequent, point to the neces-
Sity of continuing the Presidents policy in

WITHOUT REGARD TO truth or decency,
or for anything, except an overshadowing
desire TO defame public men who happen,
and simply because they happen, to be-
long to the Republican party, the New
York Tribune has made repeated and per-
sistent assaults upon the character Of Messrs.
Morton, Conkling, West Spencer and
other Republican members Of the Senate.
1t seldom, if ever, has word of reproof
for Democratic Senator, and seems intent
on destroying the reputation of acknowl-
edged Republican leaders. while at the
same time it conceals the iniQuities and
shortcomings of the Democracy. Time
was when it pursued different policy, and
when even its political opponents could
rely upon fair and impartial treatment at
its hands. Under the malign influence of
Jay Gould, its present owner, however it
has become the most venomous and un-
principled tool of the Democracy.

NOTWITHSTANDING the adverse criti-
cisms of the so-cilled Great Dailies of New
York city, none of whom had the fairness
to print Senator Morton's speeches on the
Mississippi question, the press of the coun-
try generally accords to him the credit Of
having succeeded, thus far, in proving
what he intended to prove when he began
i. C., the necessity that Congress shall do
something to restore peace and obedience to
the laws in the Southern States. Our ex-
changes furnish ample evidence of the con-
vincing effect of his speeches in this regard,
for they admit that he has taken great pains
in preparing the data for his. arguments,
and that his labor in attempting to give to
the public reliable picture Of the South
ern situation is worthy Of most earnest
commendation. In short. his speeches on
this subject have served to exalt his we'll
established reputation as leader, and at
the same time have furnished large fund
of information which will be incomparably
useful in the pending national campaign.

BEN HILL, OF GEORGIA.

Fifteen years ago the native Georgian
swore by Robert Toombs as the Mussul-
man does by the sword of the Prophet.
To day bis beau ideal is Ben FL. Hill, the
quondam Congressman, who recently de-
livered himself of his true inwardness on
the 'amnestical" question.
Hill has been prominent in Georgia poll
tics for we'll nigh quarter of a century.
He began his career as a Whig, and after
serving four years as a representative in
the Georgia Legislature he was success
lively, but not successfully. a candidate for
Congressional honors from the Athens
district between the years 1849 and 1857.
In that remote period Mr.. Hill was a
Unionist, and the representative of the ele
ment which opposed the revolutionary
teachings of such men as Toombs and
Herschel V. johnson. Year after year he
combatted Toombs upon the hustings, and
when the ''blusterer" was not aspiring for
Office. little Aleck Stephens was the target
at which Hill directed his fire. This war
of words came near resulting in an en-
counter with pistols, which was only
averted by Hill positive refusal to meet the
embryo chairman of the Committee on
Weights and Measures upon the field of
honor, evidently approaching the Shaks-
