the enemy to abandon Haidarayaz and fall

Nor CHARLEY Ross.-Sheriff Cof-
fin of Clark County, Ohio, with a
man by the name of Bechtel, who
found the boy known as Gus. Low
ering, claimed to be the lost Char
ley Ross, visited the Mr.. Ross in
Germantown. Immense crowds as
sembled at the depot on the 2nd
inst. in Germantown, where people
came in from the country in all di-
rectiOns to see the boy. The child
was taken into the presence of Mrs.
Ross and her children, all of whom
failed to recognize him. Mrs. Ross
says he is not her boy although he
resembles Charley, his eyes being
like his, but his wrists are too large,
and he is too wide between the cheek
bones. The little fellow was very
much worried and vexed by the Gu
rious attention of the crowd. and at
one time became SO stubborn that
the Sheriff was obliged to carry him
away and plead with him for nearly
an hour before he would move. <
number of Mr.. Ross friends, who
knew Charley, say that he resembles
the lost boy very much, and some
Of them even express the opinion
that he is Charley.

The recent illness of Senator Nor
ton. while it raised some apprehen-
sion in the minds of his Republican
friends, that his power and influence
in the Senate, might be interrupted,
if not lost to the country, raised
other feelings in the minds of his
opponents. Blue Jeans cast an eye
in that direction, as it is assert
ed, and settled, in his own mInd'
the manner of filling the vacancy

death, might be left. This was the

Monday last. The building was 8
stories high, fiimsy and infamabIe

in every story. The fire took in the
fourth story, and the hoist ways
gave vent for its being carried to all
the stories above, and to considera-

those occupying them. Some were
consumed, others jumped from the
upper stories, and of course, were
killed. About so buildings were de-

Col T. A. Scott, has underta-
ken the Review of "The Recent
Strikes" in the North American Re
view, and has shown himself able to
grapple with a subject, which has
proved too much for the thousand
and one writers, who have assayed
to enlighten the world upon this
rather difficult subject. He looks
at the past with a clear, and appar-
emily impartial eye, and points
out the immensity of the damage
done to the whole country, and the
danger from such disturbances in
the future, and Immediately sets at
work to find remedy by asking in
what shape can the needed protec-
tion of property be put, so as to be
extended most efficiently and with
the least delay. Recognizing fully
the power of public opinion and of
the militia and local organizations,
he shows how much better those
roads were protected which, being
In the hands of receiver, were di-
rectly under the care of the Govern
ment, and United States Marshals
stepped forward promptly to do
their duty, than the other roads, and
is of opinion that the laws which |
give the Federal courts the summa-
ry process of injunction to restrain
SO comparatively trifing a wrong as
an Infringement of a patent-right
certainly must have been intended
or ought to give the United States
authority to prevent a wrong doing

lar road, but also paralyzes the en-
tire commerce of the country and
wastes the national wealth.

By a statistical report of the
Bureau of Indian affairs, 1t appears
that the affairs in the Territories,
instead of decreasing, and the race
frittering away and likely to runout,
according to the popular notion,
their numbers are actually rapidly
increasing. While the present ex-
terminating policy of the govern
ment is pursued, this state of things
is likely to continue. While ag-
gressions are made upon them-like
Herod and Pilate-they bury all
their feuds and fight their com
mon foe, and as they are becoming
generally victors, the exterminating
process works the other way, and
they are growing in numbers and
formidableness. For the purpose of
determination the Government
could do much better by sending
its troops home to engage in some
wholesome or honorable pursuit
agriculture for instance and leave
the Indians without anything to
provoke them into union and harmo-
ny among themselves. Let them
feel that they are left alone
with nothing to do but to fight
among themselves, and the work of
defamation will be carried on as Wig
orously as could be wished by the
most sauguinary. The Indians hay
ing the strongest side in their contest
with the whites, they may find
allies-as is not uncommon with
victors-not only to make them
more formidable in battle, but who
will swell their numbers and give
material increase to their ratio of
population. Let us have a change
of policy.

THE TELEGRAPH,

Did urge last week that the Cover n
ment should take hold of the telegraph
If l did not, want to do it now. While
the Atlantic and Pacific and the Western
Union were competing, we had decent
rates, and a man could afford to use the
telegraph. You could send ten words
from New York to Chicago. or any inter
mediate point, for twenty-five cents, and
everybody used the telegraph instead Of
the mails. But now that Jay Gould, the
worst man in America, has consolidated
the two companies, and they have gone
under one management, the rates will go
back to the old figure, one dollar, and the
people will be swindled just that amount.
IL Is shame that so great an interest as
the telegraph has got to be, should be
placed solely in the hands Of one man, and
that forty millions of people should be
turned over to him to be taxed as he sees
fit. 1t Is an outrage that communication
just as important as the mail should be
made the property Of one man, who can
raise or lower the tariff to suit his conve-
nience. There Is n0 reason under heaven
why the Governments should not control
the telegraph, wnS'n II mas perfect right
