Gov. Stafford, of California, thus hits
the Indian question in his recent mes
sage. He recounts the extensive depre-
dations of the willy savage, notes the slow
movement OF troops with their heavy
trains as compared with the spe ed of
their mobile enemy, and recommends
that the Legislature memorialize the Sec
retary Of War, asking the appointment
of a body of Indian scouts to operate
with the troops, or else appropriate mon
ey to raise and equip force of whites and
friendly Indians and carry on vigorous
campaign. He says, as military opera
tions have been conducted the last six
months, the whole army of the United
States could not subdue the hostiles in
the next twelve years, while believing
that a scouting party of twenty five cit
liens and as many Indian auxiliaries
could accomplish the work in three
months. This opinion has been held by
well posted frontiersmen and military
officers for years. 1t is the expression of
all who have come in contact with the
red skins. The war against the Indians
has been too spasmodic, and too frequent
ly interspersed with "peace policy"
movements to prove lasting in any of its
effects. Gov. Stafford expresses the fear
that under the present condition of af-
fairs southeastern Arizona must be aban-
doned by settlers, and the success of the
hostiles is liable to induce All outbreak
among the reservation Indians, resulting
in general war.

The Repository accuses the editor of
the DEMOCRAT of rejecting upon the ga
cred memory of George Washington,
James Madison and Pinckney in our re-
marks on the electoral commission act.
Now, to relieve our neighbor we would
say, "conspirators," &C., do not apply to
those old worthless. They did not run
with such as j. Madison Wells, Mox Nor
ton, De Gollyer Garfield, Shiny Sherman
Babcock, ct cetera. They did not shield
crooked whisky thieves and public rob-
bers, when they were in Office. With
such men in power no electoral commits
sion act would have been necessary
The people could have had an "honest
count" without ii. 1t was the conspiracy
which made the act necessarY-and we
are not yet sure that the Commission
will give US an "honest count" Organized
rascality may have US, but we shall see.

HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, February O..


The House went into Committee of the
Whole, Mr.. Cox in the chair. on private
calendar.
After debate on the bill confirming
certain private land claims in New Mex
ice, thee Committee rose without conclusion
thereon.
Mr.. Morrison Chairman of the special
committee on Louisiana Affairs, submit.
ted the report of that committee which
concludes with. resolution declaring
that the Democratic electors received a
majority of votes in the State of Louisiana
that the pretended canvass and compila.
ton of the vote for electors by the Board
of Returning officers was without author
ity Of law, fraudulent and void, and that
the vote of that State cannot be counted
for Hayes and Wheeler without con6r.
nation and approval of illegal and
fraudulent action of said Returning
Board.
Mr.. Townsend (Pa, submitted min.
ority report, recommending the adoption
of resolution declaring that the Repub-
lican electors have been elected in
Louisiana and that the election was ex-
amined into determined, declared and
promulgated by the proper authorities of
said state under all forms of law and in
compliance with the Constitution Of the
United States.
Both reports were ordered printed and
recommended,
The house then took recess until ten
o'clock tomorrow
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1877-02-15

Mr.. Cox thought that the action of the
minority Of the House looked too much
like lionizing the Louisiana Returning
Board and making pretence Of humanity
in so doing. The room in which the
prisoners were confined was we'll ventila'
ted and we'll lighted.
Mr.. Hale-lt is neither.
Mr., Cox-And well-heated The pris-
oners were taken every day to the House
restaurant, where if they were to die they
would die from repletion. and yet gentle
men on the other side had an impression
that the prisoners we're getting as thin as
death the skeleton, and time the shadow.
If that were so, why didn't their friends
advise them to produce the papers de-
manded. If it had not been that GER
tain threats had been made to kill if it
had not been that one Of the witnesses
had not been a walking arsenal, they
might long since have been allowed
privileges which the gentleman from
Maine Hale) himself enjoyed, If there
was any foundation to the complaint
which they made, he hoped the Commit
tee on Louisiana Affairs would examine
into it and remedy it.
The resolution was then referred by a
vote OF yeas, las; nays, 90.
Mr.. Carr asked leave to offer resolu'
ton reclting that the Electoral Commits
sion had refused to go behind the returns
and admit testimony taken in Southern
States by the House Committee, and di'
recting that members of the Louisiana
Returning Board be released from the
custody Of the Sergeant at Arms. Messrs.
Eden, Bland and others objected.
Democratic Economy Saves the Country $780, ,OOO,-
900.
The House then went into Committee
of the whole on the Deficiency Appro-
priation bill, eden in the chair.
Mr., Foster made formal amendment
in order to correct statement made a
day or two ago by Mr., Randall that
majority of the House had last year
reduced expenditures of the Government
$3o ooo, 900. 1t had reduced expenditures
actually about 5000, 900, from which
must be subtracted $1,000, 900, which
would be expended this year in de-
fciencies, leaving about $4,000, 900
reduction.
Mr.. Randall compared the appropria-
ton made by the Forty third Congress.
In the two sessions of the Forty third
Congress there had been appropriations
of $500, ,ooo, 900. In the first session of
the Forty fourth Congress there had been
appropriations of $I4S, ooo 900. The
probabilities were that this year the
appropriations would amount to SI42,-
100000, making an aggregate for the two
sessions of the Forty fourth Congress an
of $500, o,ooo, 900, which
would be a reduction from the appropria-
tons of the last Congress Of 500, 900, 900.
If the Senate had not, last year, resisted
to the utmost extent the efforts of the
House In the direction of economy, that
reduction would have amounted to
$50 ,ooo. 900.
Mr.. Foster said thatwasa mere matter
of Judgment. The gentleman from
(Randall) said that the
reduction last year had been B3o, 900, 900
while he said that it had been but $I7,-
ooo, 900. Time would show who was
right.
The Committee rose and reported the
bill 10 the House. Without taking any
action the House took recess until ten
D clock to morrow.

THE Electoral Commission agreed to
consider only testimony submitted by
the President of the Senate to the joint
convention Of the two houses, but really
paid no heed to the evidence that was so
submitted. Under their exclusive ruling
even they ignored most of the evidence
going to establish the utter falsity of the
Hayes and Wheeler claim. We hope
for a better result in Louisiana, and some
of the rulings should be remembered
when they come to Oregon and Cronin.

CHAMBERLAIN's government in South
Carolina is said to be hard up. Judge
Carpenter few days ago rendered an
other decision restraining the State de-
positories from paying any moneys upon
the checks Of Chamberlaip's State Treas
urer, Cardo5a. This decision completely
winds up the revenues of the carpet-bag
government. 1t is enjoined and restrain!
ed everywhere by the courts from col
lecting taxes or paying moneys. The
taxpayers, besides, refuse to pay any
money to its officials, and nothing re-
mains to support its fallen fortunes but a
company of United States troops in the
State House. Even the negro special
constables are deserting because they get
no pay. While this is Chamberlain's
condition, the taxes are coming in freely
to the Hampton government, and it is
recognized by the officials Of almost ev-
cry county in the State. Ia ~, i,
