.Joscuh.s ar.

Tho Government has now another Indian
war on It's hands. with its own stupidity or
administration to thank for the blood
and the treasure il has cost and Will yet
cost us. The Arny and Nary JoWndi say,
in its issue of Saturday: "Thc United States
finds itself confronted with new Indian
wal, through series of hlundcrs and crimes
OIL the part of it, own agents"
That Chief JosrrH had some cause for
plunging into the desperate struggle in
which he has already won distinction, is
admitted. He claims that the orders sent
from Washington 10 force his band upon the
Me- Perez reservation at Lapwai were
violation Of his rights; that neither lac nor
his father before him was bound 10y the Noz
Perez treaty; that-as a proof of this UNDER
standing his band has never been on the
reservation, but has always lived apart, and
IN pence, in the Walluwa valley; finally,
that it was only because white settlers
coveted the little fertile patch whore his
band campcd when not ON the hunting trail,
that he was ordered 10 the reservation.
Another grievance Of JOSEPH was that he
could not get Justice from the local courts
Tor the murder Of one Of his warriors, who
had been shot for refusing TO throw
down his arms when ordered so to do 10y
two whites These men, il il true, had lost
some horses, and suspected JosEPH's band
Of stealing them, but there seems to have
been no evidence to connect the murdered
Indian with the theft, if theft there were;
yet the twl whites whose arrest JOSEPH had
caused were discharge, Il by the trial justice
and the crime went unpublished. This wrong
happened within a short time u his being

The papers opposing the nomination
Of Gen. Humphreys for the position
from which be was removed TO make
place for Ames, attempt to create the
impression that his friends are basing
his claims to the Office solely upon thai
removal. This is very great mistake
and an injustice to Gen. Humphreys
We think him eminently qualified in
every respect to be the Chief Executive
Of Mississippi. In fact, we think biz
qualifications for the position equal tC
If not superior to those of any of hil
competitors. Among his acquaintancel
bis sterling honesty is a matter
Of constant reference. His frmnesl
has been tested on many occasions, and
the people know that no influence
could be brought that would swervC
him from his duty. His judgment oi
men and measures is excellent, and VIC
think there are few men In Mississippi
who know her needs better than he
does. lie is thoroughly identified with
the State In which he has grown to be
sn old man, and there is not one who
can point to single thing thai
weighs to his discredit.
There 10 another very strong reason
why the people should support Hum.
phreys: He seeks the otice solely to
exercise the functions Of that office. He
has no Senatorial aspirations whatever
aud the people, II they elect him, will
know that the high position is not be.
ing used with regard to future emolu-
ments or honorS, nor will the Office be
used to aid the ambitious designs Of pol.
iticians. We do not charge that others
are seeking the Office to use 1t in politi-
cal combinations, or to use It as step.
pings'tone to higher position we mere
ly say that If Humphreys is chosen, such
an abuse fthe high position would be
impossibl'. These are matters OF
grave importance for the delegates OF
the people to consider, for nothing will
cause q division among our people
quicker than for them to know that the
Executive Department of the State is
to be used to further the political am.
bitiOn Of politicians.
Vicksburg weekly herald., 1877-07-27

IT 10 very easy for designing men or
designing newspapers to sneer at par
ty discipline, for there Is q plauPibility
about claiming independence of action.
The designing office.seeker is so intent
upon securing his Office that he fails to
see the necessity Of party discipline,
and Is chafed If the party refuses to
bend TO his ruinous plans, but bends
him until he has proper respect for
its power. He therefore seeks relief
In shouting for freedom Of action. He
forgetS that freedom Of action In this
case means q disbandment similar to
the one We have recently witnessed in
Jackson. Parties are formed for
strength and protection, and II the
members are not willing to be gov
orned by reasonable laws for the mu-
tual benefit of all, they ought to
abandon parties altogether, or TO be
kicked out Of them. This is much
more necessary In the South than in
the North. In the North both parties
are composed Of intelligent people,
while In the South the Rsdica party is
composed almost wholly ., ilnoram-
uses. In the North, a mnn may re-
man independent of party action, and
support whichever party puts forth the
beat men and measures. In the South
there /, but one choice, and that is be-
tween intelligence and ignorance
ability ard incompetence. Iudepend'
ents in the South are simply disorgan
izers, and their motives are always
selfish. [, is fjlly for Que TO surposC
that the Interests OF this ,ection can bC
best projected By independent action
yet this is what these men wonld have
us believe.

A Complaint from North Carolina
Against Revenue oficiala.

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-The Star
says "a delegation OF business men, ir-
respective of party afFiliatiOn. from the
Sd, 4th and 9th Districts OF North Car
olina are expected here on Monday, tc
urge upon the President the necessity
of changing the Internal Revenue Off
GERS in those Districts. Ii is claimed
that the present officers put up Jobs on
dealers to violate the law, so that they
may reap the benefit OF the fees. This
demonstration is in response to re-
cent letter from a Revenue Agent in
North Carolina, TO the Commissioner
Of Internal Revenue, to the effect that
all classes in North Carolina obstructed
the collection of Federal taxes. The
delegation will show that they only
object 10 improper, oppressive and II.
legal action on the part Of the revenue
officers.
