THE INDIANS.
General Howard After Joseph Oregon
Indians Restless.

San Francisco, July GA press dis
patch from Portland says: "News is re-
ceiyed from General Howard's camp on
Salina River to June 80. Eighty. five In
dians passed along Bald Mountain oppo-
site the camp on the 29th in full view of
the soldiers. General Howard is hurry
ing with all possible dispatch in order to
pursue or find the direction taken by
the Indians. II the trial indicates that
Joseph intends escape to the buffalo
country, General Howard will immedi-
ately retrace his steps to Lewiston and
endeavor to head him off by the way off
Hangman's Creek. Captain Connville,
of the Lewiston volunteers, starts to day
to the skirmish territory in the vicinity
of Slate Creek to find the direction Joseph
has taken.
The Malheur Indians of Vaker county,
Oregon, are restless, and fears are enter
tanned that they will effect a junction with
the hostiles.
Squawman said Joseph had gone to-
ward Spokare River and will take up his
position in impassable gulches and Canons
intending to stay and fight it out in Will
low Valley. The opinion at headquarters
is that he will strike out for the buffalo
country. Joseph has now day and a
half the start of the troops.
General Howard has telegraphed for a
regiment of regulars, which it is under
stood he can get here in ten days from
Omaha, Nebraska. He has now about
500 men, three howitzers and two gatling
guns.

GEO. W. ARMSTRONG, ESQ, of Minneso-
ia, a brother of W. W. Armstrong, of the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, died at St. Paul,
Minnesota, on the 23d of June, being
stricken down suddenly in the Court
room. The deceased was native of New
Lisbon, and learned the printing bust
ness in the Office of the Ohio Statesman
during the time that paper was published
by Gov. Samuel Medary. He was subse-
ouently associated with William Dunbar
in the Mt. Vernon Banner. In 1858 he
removed to Minnesota, where he was ap-
pointed Territorial Treasurer by Cover
nor Medary. After the admission Of
Minnesota as State into the Union Mr..
Armstrong was elected State Treasurer.
The deceased was quiet, unassuming
gentleman, and highly respected and
popular. He leaves his wife and several
children.

The charge against Wells, Anderson,
Cassenave and Kenner is the forging and
counterfeiting of election returns for Pres.
idential electors, especially in Vernon
parish, by making an addition of 1853 votes
to the total for the Hayes electors, and
deducting 395 votes from each of the Til
den electors. The Vernon forgery will
open the case, and the frauds in twenty
four parishes will then be successfully in
vestigated and brought home to the Re-
turning Board. The prosecution is OBJ
iected 10 because it is said to be in viola
ton of an agreement that on the recogni-
ton of Nichols the political offenses Of
Republicans should be condoned, and by
Northern Republican organs on the plea
that nothing is to be gained by further
agitation of the matter. Neither of these
objections are valid. The forgeries were
not political ofFenses, and surely it is the
duty Of the courts to proceed with the
trials.

THE arrest Of State Senator Burch at
New Orleans on charge of embezzlement
ofschool funds, is one Of the results ofan
investigation that has been going on for
some time at the hands of committee
of the Legislature. This committee has
discovered that the books of the State
Auditor, which disappeared so mysteri-
ously in January last, were delivered to
the keeping of United States Marshal
Pitkin, at the Custom House, where they
had no business to be. They have not
yet been recovered, but the hope that
they will be is very strong, as with their
aid much of the financial rascality of the
Kellogg administration will be exposed
and the guilty brought to judgment.
Even without the books the investigating
committee has been able to establish the
fact that sums amounting to about $l56-
600 had been collected by various tax
gatherers and audited, but never paid
into the treasury. The delinquent Off
cials will without doubt be called to ac-
count through criminal proceedings,such
as have been instituted against Burch.
1t is simply nonsense to talk Of any bar
gain which was intended to shield an or.
ganized gang of thieves, and the sugges-
ton of the thing, if there were particle
of foundation for it, would be discredita-
BILE to the parties by whom, it is charged,
the bargain was made. There is not an
honest man in the country who will not
rejoice to see the Louisiana gang punish.
ed as ita many crimes show it to deserve.

IN EGq THAT DIDN'T HATCH.

1t will be remembered that, just as the
Presidential campaign was about to open,
Zach Chandler, then newly appointed
Secretary of the Interior, with a great
flourish Of trumpets, brought q suit
against ex.Secretary Jacob Thompson
for several million dollars on account oil
alleged embezzlement of Indian trust
funds. in the Buchanan Administration.
Sensational statements on the subject
were paraded in the Republican press
1t seems Mr., Chandler, with the pecu'
liar audacity for which he is distinguish
ed, coupled with his suit criminal suit
against Mr.. Thompson for embezzement
of moneys belonging to the Confederate
Government, entrusted to him as Its fid'
uciary agent in Canada. The amount OF
the two suits was placed at $S,OOO,OOs
Mr.. Thompson was then in Washington
and Congress was in session. Mr.. Thomp'
son was to be arrested, bail in double the
amount of the suits was to be required,
and in default of bail he was to be com
mitted to Jail. AS Mr.. Thompson would,
of coulse, be unable to give $4,000 600
bail. Mr.. Chandler had in view one grand
sensation
On the night the plot was to be carried
into effect some of Mr.. Thompson's
friends got wind of it. They sought him
out and urged him to leave Washington
at once. This at first Mr.. Thompson de-
clined to do, stating that as he had been
guilty of no wrong, he would not avoid
any charge against him. He was finally
convinced that to remain, submit to ar
rest and 90 to Jail would be just what Mr..
Chandler would want He therefore
left Washington that night for his home
at Memphis Although Mr. Chandler
was thus foiled in part of his purpose,
he had the pleasure of chuckling over
the publicity attaching to the scandal
1t was also avaied of to the utmost by
the Republican stump orators during the
camgaign. The sequel to the proceed
ings show exactly for what purpose they
were instituted. Inquiry has lately been
made in Washington as to the status of
the suits by ex-Secretary Thompson, and
it has been ascertained that by request of
the Secretary of the Interior, the Attor-
ney General directed that the suits be
dismissed. The entry on the court rec
ords is of the Sth of March, but it seems
not to have been known until few days

GEORGE L. CONVERSE.

We find the following bit Of history in
the Chillicothe Advertiser of last week,
As it takes us back to the times that tried
the moral courage of Democratic souls,
we reproduce:
During the session of 1854, immediate
" after The bitter and violent Val'andig-
ham campaign, while the Democrats OF
Ohio were lying buried under majority
of more than one hundred thousand, the
writer paid visit to the Ohio Senate.
Being stranger, he inquired of one of
the Sergeant.at.Arm where the dividing
line Law that separated the Republicans
from the Democrats. The official laugh
ed, and said it didn't take very exten-
sive line to mark the division. He poin-
ted to the head of the center aisle, and
said the gentlemen occupying the first
and second seats on each side OF the aisle
constituted the Democratic square, were
the sole Democratic members of a body
composed of thirty-fve Senators. A
grand square it was, Converse, Lang,
Willet and O'Connor, and it proved i'm
pregnable against all the assaults emblt-
tered radicalism could bling against it.
Willet and O'Connor are dead; Converse
and Lang have lived to see Democratic
maiorities in the Senate Chamber, and
to see the principles for which they
struggled against such hopeless odds rec
ognized and ingrafted upon the policy OF
a Republican Administration. Lang has
been the candidate of his party for Lieut..
Governor, and the friends of Converse
now ask recognition Of his faithful and
able service of the Democratic party, by
nomination for the important position
of Governor of the State.

IT is not to be supposed that DIR.
Hayes's prescription, for the cure of Of
fee holders poll-evil, is calculated to re-
strain any official in "the exercise of his
Judgment and discretion in all relations
"of the citizen the same as before" nor
to prevent him advocating his views in
"all respects as fully as ever" but means
that ''he shall not participate in the ma
4" chine operations Of local politics, nor
''pledge his support TO candidates in re-
"return for promised favors." How
could an oficeholder advocate his views
''iR all respects as full as ever" if not
permitted to pledge his support to candl-
dates in return for promised favors2 ? The
object of an oficeholder is to keep hold
of his Office or get better one. The
most effective advocacy Of these views
consists in pledging his support to candi-
dates in return for promised favors. II
DR.. Hayes's prescription permits him to
advocate his views as freely and fully as
ever. he viii make it count as heretofore.

"HE George III) has created a multi
"titude of new offices, and sent hither
"swarms of officers to harass our people
"and eat out their substance" Declare
ton OF independence.
The foregoing is as true to-day against
the Republican party, and has been Tor
years past, as it was overa hundred years
ago, as to King George and the British
Parliament. The last Democratic House
undertook to correct the evil, so far as
one branch of Congress could correct 1t,
and all things considered, it succeeded
very well. The effort kicked up a tre-
mendous hubbub among Republican Of
ficeholding classes, and vehement predic'
tions were INDUCED in, that the etiicien-
cy of the public service would be injured
and the welfare of the country imperill-
ed, but the Democratic House, undis-
mayed, pushed resolutely on. The Hayes
Administration, therefore, is obliged to
respect this action, but all Hayes and
company are doing in respect to Custom
House and cutting down of Depart
ment force and expense, is in obedience
to Democratic Congressional action.
ITO the victors belong the spells" has
been charged as Democratic motto and
rule ofaction, and attributed to Jackson;
and under the Grant administration Of
shameless plundering, was used as an ex-
cuse for their schemes, But the fact is,
the grand aim was to fix things polite
ally as the British tories had it century
ago, when few could elect a Parliament
and control the Government, and thus
provide for the younger scions of the ar
istocratic stock, and run things as close
corporation. So, in this country during
the last eight years, clique OF Re-
publican Senators and members Of Con-
gress, aided by Grant, controlled the civ
il service, and fondly thought they bad
things fixed both North and South.
The late Democratic House, and the
Presidential election last fall broke the
charm, and completely snapped the ring
and destroyed the happy arrangement.
Mr.. Hayes, counted in by fraud, when
Mr.. Tilden was elected, is different sit
uation from Grant, and the scoundrel
managers of the fraud did not think Of
the change of circumstances surrounding
Grant and Hayes. Grant realized it be-
fore he stepped out. The old Grant Re-
publican leaders realize the change and
will not be comforted. They have
had their day.

SOUTH CAROLINA,
Continued Developments Of the Rascal
tiles Ofthe Old Radical Ring.

COLUMBIA, s. c., July 5.-Ex-Governor
Scott, originally from Ohio, was before
the Committee to-day. His evidence was
very damaging to many of the old ring
who run the State Offices during the time
he was Governor. He gave full account
of the Niles G. Parker swindle, and the
names of all the rascals who were engaged
in that piece of villainy. I have it from
the best authority that rigid cross ex-
animation of the Governor failed to cri-
inmate him in any of their fraudulent
transactions. Parker Is now fugitive
from Justice, and late Washington dis
patches say that Governor Hampton's
visit North had something to do with
Parker; that an effort would be made to
induce him to return to North Carolina
and peach upon his confederate who
abandoned him when he made his escape
from Jail here, and in fact during all his
troubles. This is denied by Governor
Hampton's friends, who admit however,
that efforts have been made to get Parker
here, but that it has been done by other
parties than the Governor, who will have
him in no other way, if he determines to
have him at all, except by a requisition.
Attorney General Connor has not arrived
but is looked for daily,

goose. Fact is, Charlie, we are still vo-
