INDIAN FRAUDs.-Schurz' Indian bu-
reau investigations are reported to be
ready ascertained that great frauds have
been perpetrated in the cencus on which
the issue of rations and clothing is based
This is is a new discovery in the depart
ment, but nowhere else, for the material
facts have been in the possession of those
who read the newspapers for many
many months, and but for the general
corruption which pervaded the last ad
ministration would long ago have
brought the members of the Indian nng
to justice. Let us see whether the
thieves will escape this time.

BUTTER ExPonTs

The expectation of American butter
has hitherto been limited 70 the poor
grades on account of the difficulty OF
preserving the artic le. 1t has now re-
ceived q great imptt US, like the expor
gation of fresh meat rom the improv
ed methods of preservation. II is sta
ted that the New York dealers are con
structing immense refrigerator store
houses, where choice butter can be
kept for consump, ion or expectation
frame building 65 by As feet and 8
feet in height cooled by 200 tons OF
ice, and with capacity of 10, ,0O0 pack
ages. Another firm makes use OF the
greater specific gravity of cooled air.
The second, third and fourth stories
of a square are converted into re-
frigerator with the ice in the fourth
story the floor of which is In slat7, al
lowing the cool air to descend and
flow through the whole building.
According TO late report of the
National Butter and Cheese Associa-
iion the exports of butter and cheese
last year from New York alone were
mole than 100000, 900 pounds the
SuIDtueutS vi DuttCt ICdSuiuB AVtVVNs
900 pounds. The trade In both pro-
ducts is rapidly increasing. Ii is esti-
mated that by the use of properly re-
frigerated rooms in steamships saw
ing of from five to three cents per
pound would be effected upon the ex-
ports of butter, thus increasing the
volume of business at the same time
that better profit would be made by
the shipper.
In this connection it may be of in
terest to mention that the complaints
of dairymen in New York that the
butter trade has been interfered with
and injured by the manufacture OF ar
tificlal butter led to action in the Leg
islature of that State, which passed
bill to protect dairymen in the manu-
facture of ..butter. According to its
provisions it is a misdemeanor punish
able with fine of 500 for a person to
sell or expose for sale in New York
any article or substance in semblance
of.butter, not the legitimate product
of the dairy, and not made exclusively
of milk or butter. Manufacturers of
oleomargarine snd other kindred ar
ticles are henceforth obliged to stamp
every tub of package of this product,
"Oleomargarine." The bill has just
been signed by the Governor.

CHICAGO, June 13.
Reports at the Agricultural headquar-
ters for the State oflndiana go to show
that the corn crop, throughout the State,
is in most unpromising condition. The
wet and cold weather for the past two
weeks has proved drawback from which
it can hardly recover.
The prospects for wheat, however, are
better for the same reason. The corr
crops In Iowa and Nebraska, are report
ed very backward.

GREECE FOR WAR.

An Athens dispatch says . large

1t is believed tho moment for Greece
to take action is near.
Ottumwa weekly courier., 1877-08-15

not give him the least credit for his
exertions to preserve peace in that
convention. II intimatcs that he got
up the fuss in order that he might
appear in the role of maker.
This is in keeping with the true char
acter of the editors of that paper.
Their hate is implacablc, and they are
in the prcdicament of great many
people, viz: thoy arc so drunk with
dishonesty themselves that they inn
agine everybody is drunk with the
same disease. The 7sIsune further
says that the resolution is unfair
as passed by the convention stating
that in sixteen Southern States the
whole political power is consolidated
in the democratic party, and infer
entially lays this state of things at the
door of the present Administration.
Now if the above is not true, if these
States are not solidly democratic, and
did not become SO under the present
Administration, we would be glad to
have the Tribune show the first prop
osition to be untrue and as to the
next, we would ask if they have not
become SO under Hayes administra.
ton, then how did Hayes become
President? If they had been demo.
cratic under Grants administration.

William Tecumseh Sherman, who
wouldn't give up his presidency of a
Hoss Car Company, in st. Louis, to
give his valuable services to the gov
ernment, at the opening of the war,
until his future was secure by max
ing him Colonel in the regular army,
according to his own memoirs), is of
reveling among the beauties of the
Yellow Stone, and writing to Secrc.
tary McCrary about the ''balmy air,
ETC., in that delcctable locality.
OF course he can afford to grow
eloquent over the scene, as the coun-
try is paying him sixty or seventy
dollars per day, for his royal junkct
while poor devils are led into Big
Hole slaughter pens, who are cheap
and only cost thirteen dollars pei
month.
What this government needs is, {
re-organized army, with officers at it
head, who are not too costly to b
shot at, and who can find something
else to do except making post pran
dial speeches, and going into tn
Indian country after the Indians ar
captured. r.4
