Sioux After Poaea..

A correspondent writes from Mo
brara, Nebraska, under cate of June
18th. as follows:
"The Sioux Indians came down
this morning and made an. attack
upon the Poncas at Neareto. They
killed and scalped one Ponca, and
drove away twelve or fifteen ponies
and n OK. Old settlers here say
that the Sioux visit the Poncas in
this way almost every summer, but

On the authority of its own Washington
correspondent, the Chicago Tribune says:
"Mr. Blaine has no intention of sheltering
himself behind anything or anybody in the
matter of the Arkansas bond story. He de-
nies it outright and in every particular, de.
claring that he had nothing whatever to do
with the Morton, Bliss C Co. and Union
Pacific transaction; that he never received
the $64, 900 nor handled the money nor the
bonds either for himself or any one else.
He is averse to demanding an investigation,
believing that the Democratic House would
take advantage Of the opportunity to slowly
drag out the inquiry and delay it's conclusion
long enough to injure his prospect at Cincin-
natl but if the Democrats insist upon an in
vestigation he will demand that they shall set
about it forthwith, and push it vigorously and
speedily to final result. The issue is made

CONSIDERING that New Mexico has in all
a population of only $1,000, that half its vot-
ers can neither read nor write, and that two
thirds have no idea of the ballot, the PROPOSE
tion to admit it as a state deserves to be
treated with contempt. Naming the new
stats "Montazuma" will not make the trans
action smell any sweeter. Its inhabitants
may beast that they are of the Aztec race,
but the average American of the United

THE Shoe and Leather Reporter thinks
that it may with tolerable certainty be as
sumed that nothing in the way of legislation
will be accomplished this year to help or
hinder the natural process by which we are
slowly moving toward the goal of resumption
and stability. A great many projects have
been brought, but none appear to have pros
pect of success. Mr.. ChittenIen's plan to
fund the legal tenders in forty year loan is,
it says, $50 radically contractive that its adop.
tion by the present House is simply an impos-
sibility, unless it can be worked through on
the strength of an accompanying provision
repeating the resumption act of January 14th,
1875. To gain this essential point, the disci-
Piles of irredeemable currency would be will
ling to yield a great many of their cherished
opinions. But the moral effect of the repeal
would be pernicious. When that act was
passed stake was driven ina long WAYS
ahead it is true-but still so plainly in sight
that the friends of honest money had bea-
con by which they could shape their course.
The law as whole has proved infinitely
more salutary and effective than its opponents
imagined or its friends hoped it would.''

the right to leave the Union whenever it
chooses. Like him are nearly all the other
men of expediency. The exceptions are the
whilom Republicans, like Judge Davis who
must apostatize to win the nomination, who
must achieve treason to entitle them to lead
ership, who must prove their fitness for Dem
ocratic support bv discarding all the princi-
pies they have heretofore held.
Back of the presidential candidates are two
men who are to-day the real leaders of the
Democratic party in the North, and the OBJ
jects of its enthusiastic admiration. These
are Horatio Seymour and Jere Black. There
is no need to point out the records of Bu-
chanan's Attorney General and New York's
draft-rio. Governor. They darken too many
pages of our history to be recalled with pleas
ure. In the South the Democracy is con-
trolled by able and honest men, but men who
cling to CalhoInism as the true theory of the
relation between the states and the general
government, whose severest condemnation of
secession is that it was a political blunder
and who long with all the ardor of lofty and
ambitious spirits to recover for their section
its old-time supremacy in the national coun-
ellis. Some of them have given indications
of capability of rising to a wise and enlght-
ened public policy, but the great majority are
too strongly committed TO the heresy of state
rights to make any real advancement. Poit-
ically they stand where they stood in 1860
Not one decade, nor two, can change the po-
litical opinions entertained by great section
for eighty years; nor do men, merely because
they are beaten on the battlefield, surrender
the convictions of a lifetime.
1t is perhaps too much to say that these
leaders, Northern and Southern, will be so
unwise, in case of success, as to attempt i'm
mediatelJ and openly to undo the W ork of
the war. But they are all reactionis:s, all
fanatics as regards the one great Democratic
dogma, all bent on restoring, as far as posi-.
BILE, the old order of things. To entrust them
with control in this transition period when
the new order is scarcely established, and
while the verdict of Appomattox is not yet
secure against appeal or reversal, would be
measureless folly.
