the Black Hills country as an undis-
turbed reservation. We give two of
the leading stipulations in that treaty.
''rhe United States now solemnly a.
grees, that no persons except those
herein designated and authorized to
do so, and except such officers, agents,
and employees of tie government as
nay be authorized ID enter upon IT.
dian Reservations, in the discharge of
their lawful duties, shall even be per-
mitted to pass over, settle upon, or
reside in, the territory described in
this article, or in such territory rs
may be added to their Reservation
for the use of said Indians"
"In consideration of the advantages
and benefits conferred by this treaty,
and the many.pledges of friendship
by the United States the tribes who
are parties to this agreement, stipulate
that they will relinquish all right to
territory outside The specified limits,
and that they viii refrain from all
acts Of hostility against the whites,
and that they will withdraw all pre-
tense Of opposition TO the construction
of the railroad now being built 10 the
Pacific Ocean"
The government has never COM
planned but what the Indians kept
their part of the treaty to the letter.
The Pacific r. Il. took miners, sharp
ers Spectators and later bonaied
settlers, to the Black Hills country
by the thousands and thus the treaty
was made to answer, rs so much waste
paper, on the part Of Sitting Bull and
his other chefs. AT first these chefs
complained to the government, Of
their violation of the treaty. This
accomplished nothing, and then they
took to the old way Of numbering, and
scalping, just the way our government
would have done, that is, proclaiming
war. The result was q war that cost
enormously and Sitting Bull was driv-
ell into Canada. the whole Reservation
so solemnly set apart TO the Indians,
was taken possession Of by our peo-
pie, and what Of the powerful Sioux
tribe that remained in the states were
driven TO the far Northwest. And
now it is rumored that Sitting Bull
has collected his warriours, and Joined
the New Perces in the present Indian
war. There is one notable fact, in
our judgement of the Indians that we
shall do wei to consider, and that IS.
that Canada has never had an Indian
war, it may be in her policy it may be
that Canada territory is not so tempt
ing to settlers as ours. 1t is the old
story 'miSht makes right"

Eversince the Pilgrim Fathers land
ed on Plymouth Rock, the Indian
question has been q live one, in the
history Of our country. And to-day
the same old problem is before US,
t'what is to be done with the Indians
The history of the dealings of our
government, and nation with them,
is familiar to all general readers. At
the first, the red man had an undispu-
ted title 10 the country, and the white
man wanted a foot-hold. The instinct
of the Indian told him, that both races
could not live together in the same
country, as their modes oflife were so
widely different. Under the circum-
stances there was but just one thing
for the white man to do, and that was
u war of determination, covered up
under the pretext ofpurchase treativs,
Our civilization, as it has so rapidly
moved westward has wiped out very
many powerful Indian nations. So
that out of the large Indian popula-
ton, that peopled our country at the
time of the landing of the pilgrims,
according TO the Indian Commission
er, there are less than 100000 left.
An although we have an Indian war
on oar hands this summer,in all hu-
man probability we cannot have many
more, even now it is more an out
break for it does not rise to the dig
nifty of war, as but a small military
force is sufficient to quell them. Let
us take an illustration of the dealings
of our Government with the famous
Sioux Indians, in regard to the Black
Hills country. Some nine or ten
years ago, the. various tribes compris-
ing the Sioux nation, were scattered
over portion of Dakota, and Ncbras-
liza, and all over Montana, and Wyom-
ing territories, and numbering over
10000. They were detcrmidly oppos-
ed to the building of the Pacific r. r.
Our government to avoid war, de-
termined to settle the matter with
them by solemn treaty. And accord
ingly Gems. Sherman, Terry, Anger,
and Harvey, were sent out as princi-
pals of commission to negotiate a
treaty with them. A treaty was ne
gotiated, whereby they were to have

The letter of Judge Bradley in re-
gard to the aspersions of his conduct
during the deliberations of the Elect
oral Commission is convincing and
conclusive at all points. He acknowl-
edges that his views varied from time
to time during the process of investi e
eating the Florida case, as might well
have been the fact, considering the
novelty and perplcxity of the case and
the immense importance of its right
decision. This caution was honorable
TO Judge Bradley, and the modest
frankness with which he refers TO it
now is equally to his credit. II lends
weight, if any were needed, to his
positive declaration that no political
influences whatever were brought to
bear upon him with view to affect
his decision. 1t is shameful that q
Judge of The United States supreme
Court should be subjected to the he
OOseity of vindieotinS hi,nself against
such vile charges; but we are glad
that he has seen fit to do it. He has
thus stamped out insinuations from
which he might have suffered for years
and has cleared great public decis-
ion, which may have prevented ma
tional bloodshed, from all grounds of
doubt and prejudice in regard to the
honesty Of the process by which it
was arrived at.
Undoubtedly the persistence OF
Judge Bradlcy's vilifiers has been
owing in q great degree to the positi-
on he occupied in the make up of the
Electoral Commission. Had his Sc
lection been designated in the act Of
Congress, he would have been no more
blamed for his course than was Judge
Miller, on the one hand, or Judge
Clifford, on the other. But as the
last member named, he held, unde I
the circumstances, the decision of the
whole matter in his hands, and there
fore he became, and has since been,
the sole target Of abuse to those who
were disappointed in the result. They
have INDUCED their venom to an reck-
less and even o childish extent. But
is it not time now to drop this whole
subject? Judge Bradley stands COM
pletely exonerated in the eyes Of every
sensible man in the country-indeed,
few sensible men ever put the slight
est faith in the charges against him.
The question has wholly gone by as
one of practical interest. Upon the
decision pronounced by all exalted
tribunal, according to the conscienccs
of its members and in strict conformi-
ty TO law, has been founded the pres
ent Administration Of the Gov eminent
universally scquiesced in, except here
and there for mere Pickwickian Or
partisan purposes. Neither the aspcr-
sions OF the New York Sun nor the
formidable essays in the North Amerj-
can RevieaO have the slightest effect
on the settled verdict of the American
people. Let the folly be swept out OF
sight, then.

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation ;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
cd preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to it's youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY it's use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, Md,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,

fully selected for excellent quality;
and | consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

New Assessment.-The passage of the
new assessment bill at the last session of our
Legislature directing the re-assessment OF
old property and the assessment of property
which had never before been assessed as far as
we are able to learn from our county ex-
changes throughout the State, will greatly
rebound to the benefit of the State by placing
in our State Golfer an increased amount of
money. In some of the counties the taxable
property will be this year increased to the
amount of million of dollars. In majority
of them the increase will not be so much, but
still will not fall far short of that amount
In others, one or two, perhaps, a decrease Of
taxable property will occur. This county
has fallen considerably below the increased
amount which was expected. That though
undoubtedly is owing to the stratness Of the
times, which has begot the depreciation of
the valuation of property so enormously. We
give below table showing the old and new
assessments:
