Southern and Northern Claims.


We call the attention of the reader to
the resume of the speech of Hon. H. d.
Money, of Mississippi, recently delivered
in the House of Representatives, on the
relative expenditures Of the public money
in the North and South. 1t appears on
the 4th page Of this issue. The country
has been filed recently with Republican
elamor about Southern Claims" and their
misrepresentation have grown to such
gross proportions, that, unanswered, they
are likely to mislead the public and to
impress it with the idea that the South is
seeking its own aggrandizement at the ex-
pense Of every other part of the country,
and of every principle of honesty and fair
dealing. Mr. Money disabuses the public
mind on this subject, and shows that the
demands upon the treasury from the North
and the South, are as 81 $50, 10, 035 for
the North to $3.50, 900, 900 for the South,
a disproportion so great that it ought to
silence all such clamor at once and forever.
Mr.. Money deserves the thanks of the
country for thus indicating the truth and
putting this gross Republican falsehood in
its true light before the people "South-
ern Claims" is to be one of the Republi-
can electioneering cries, this fall, in their
efforts to wrest the House of Representa-
tives from Democratic control; but Mr..
Money has fully exposed the demagogical
character of this trumped-up story, and
revealed its falsehood, as we'll as the con-
temptible trickery of thus attempting to
mislead the people aud to impose upon
popular credulity by false representations
for mere party ends Read the facts and
figures which Mr.. Money gives after great
research, from the official records, and
store them in the memory for a rebuttal
of this charge of the Republicans, when
ever it is reiterated in the hearing of any
Democrat.

Threatened Indian HOstilities.

Thirty or forty whites ut White Horse
Meadows, in Grant county, Oregon, are
reported to be threatened by force of
Bannocks, and the Winnemucca mounted
volunteers have left Camp McDermont for
their assistance. Major Downey, on the
way with his command to Sheep Rancho,
Idaho, has been orderd to return to Fort
Harvey, in consequence of news that Ed
gar, Piute chief, has taken the field at
the head of four hundred warriors who
have left the Matthews agency. Tambi-
ago, an Indian under sentence of death
for murder, says the plan of the Bannocks,
who are led by Buffalo Horn, was to rem
devious at Juniper Mountain and Sheep
Rancho, get the Piutes to join them, and
then 20 north to the Salmon river. The
settlers at Bruneau aud its vicinity, have
gone to Boise City for safety The settlers
along go miles of Boise City and Carson
City stage road, in Baker county, Oregon,
have also sought places of safety. The
President and Secretary of War had con.
ference on Saturday on the subject of the
Indian troubles, and it was agreed to grant
the request of the Governor of Oregon to
supply the settlers on the eastern frontier
of that State with arms and ammunition.
Meantime preparations for the campaign
against the Indians are going on actively in
the military Division of the Pacific 1t is be-
lieved that all the tribes in Southern Idaho
and Eastern Oregon are now hostile, and
that they will be able to muster 1000
fighting men. General Towards scouts
report that the Indians are concentrating
in large force at Stems mountain, and the
General is moving his troops in that di-
rection.
The Bannocks and Piutes, who are
threatening the Government with another
Indian war, appear, from the latest des-
patches, to have gathered in Southern Ore
gon, in a mountainous lake country, sparse
ly settled. Winnemueca, from which the
news comes, is a town of one thousand in
habitants, in Nevada, and the Indians are
gathered in corner of Oregon, between
Boise City, Idaho, and Winnemucca.-
From an examination of the maps, together
with the dispatches, it is evident that
there are several bands of Indians, widely
separated, and unless they succeed in form
ing junction, they may in turn be brought
to terms without much trouble. In the
uncertainty of the situation, however, the
settlers on the frontier are abandoning
their sheep ranches and seeking safety in
the forts 1t also appears, from late des-
patches, that the present uprising has been
contemplated for some time, and that the
Indians intend, or intended, to 90 to the
Salmon river country, idaho, near the Nez
Perces reservation, where the war began
last year.
The hostile Indians in Oregon have raid
ed the Burnt River region, stole twenty.
two horses, and perhaps done more serious
mischief \ Boise City, Idaho, despatch
says Captain Bernard, with company of
cavalry ,wasjoineda at Owihee Crossing above
the mouth of the river, by Captain Whip
pie with two companies. General Howard
was supposed to be about Inventive miles
in advance. General Cook makes no Sc
cret of his beliefthat the situation is grow
ing more serious every day.

unfairly and wantonly swaggers before the
country and threateningly taps his sword hilt
and tenders its services to the individuals
under investigation.
Either the man does not know the signih-
canoe of his conduct or believes he is the
armed master of the country. Either way
be IS not the man to entrust with authority
for he does not know his place or, If he does,
refuses to keep it. Because his brother is in
an ugly dilemma he assumes To play the dem
agogue IN shoulder straps and to insult and
bully the highest authority Of the Republic
he speaks for the army-as If that institution
had the regulation Of affairs and was his per-
sonal following TO do his bidding and execute
his will Grant, with all his prestige. az
President and commander-in-chief,n never ven
tured 70 such lengths. But this man looses
no opportunity to brandish his sword at the
congress of the people and warn them that he
Is on the side of his suspected brother.
1t Is well enough for Congress to reiterate
its purpose of not disturbing the title of the
acting President, by defeating the Kimmei
resolutions. But it would be well for that
body to practically rebuke this upstart soldier
for his oficious insults, and teach him that in
free country no military chief can hold his
personal caprices or chagrin above its laws
and institutions. General Sherman has ex-
posed himself as either very weak man or
an unworthy officer, and it is time he was
made to feel that he is foolishly rushing in
where the best of his predecessors never
dared TO tread.
baltimore San.-It is greatly TO be regret
ted that Gen. Sherman has shown DISPOSE
ton of late to incorporate politics into his
speeches. But when he undertakes to intro
duee the subject and talk of the President
being required TO defend his right to the
place he occupies and indicates that in that
event he would be sustained by the army,
which is '.sworn to defend the constituted au-
thorities" las if there was no other constitu-
ted authority than that Of the executive-heis
wantonly and foolishly stepping on dangerous
ground. In advance of any such possible
issue, 70 say the least, that is no subject for
the soldier. If Gen. Sherman will attend TO
his military duties and leave the administra-
ton of affairs to those to whom the country
has entrusted them he would save himself
from many structures. If, too, he could be
brought to understad that the army is not the
creation and creature of any one man, he
would cease to make a tender of its services.
The action Of the House yesterday in adopt
ing the report Of the committee on the Judi
ciary adverse to the Kimmel bill, and that
with only fourteen negative votes shows that
there is no more intention to disturb the title
of Mr.. Hayes than there is to abolish the
army. But if General Sherman regards the
army as a partisan organization, and only
to be governed by sectional sentiments, Il
may become necessary for Congress 10 ascer-
tain tchat ought 10 be done Nth General
Sherman.

Adjournment Of Congress.

Congress closed its labors on Thursday
morning, after a session of eight months.
having met in extra session in October
last, which continued up to the regular
session in December. Like most lesisla-
tive bodies it is sharply criticised BY the
astute newspaper critics (who know every
thing, and great deal more,) for its sins
of omission and commission, and from
their sanctums proclaim what ought and
what ought not to have been done.
Among the measures adopted is the
silver bill, that Pandora's box, lin the es-
timation of its epponents,) which had to
be passed over the Residents veto: the
bill repeating the bankrupt law; the dry
dock bill; the Pacific railroads sinking
fund bill; aud many others of lesser note.
Among those which did not pass, may
be mentioned the bill to repeal the resump-
ton act; Mr. Woods tariff bill; and the
bill to change the internal revenue laws.
Nothing was done in the way of civil SER
vice reform, or 10 remedy the defects of
the present mode of eleeting President
and counting the electoral votes, or to pro-
tect the country against the recurrence of
such questions and controversies as arose
after the last presidential election. The
question of the fraudulent title of the
President was slurred over, after fashion,
and left in anything but satisfactory con-
dition to those who. look at the abstract
justice or injustice of things. But, per
contra, the investigation into the corrupt
and fraudulent proceedings of the Florida
and Louisiana returning boards, was step
in the right direction, and although it may
not eyentuate in disturbing the title of our
VIGOROUSLY fraudulent President, it will
serve to show the depth of the villainy
practiced in order to foist upon the coun-
try President never elected by the peo-
pie, and who is, to-day, with his guilty
knowledge and completely, as much a
usurper as if he had seized the Presidency
by force and arms.
This may appear to some to be harsh
judgment of ''the mild-manncred gentle
man, who, by fraud alone presides in the
White House, but We can view his con-
duct in no other light. That he had
guilty knowledge upon the subject. is seen
in the promises and assurances of his most
intimate and confidential friends to the
men who perpetrated the frauds, shat they
should be taken care of, and in the further
fact that all have been ''taken care of,
and appointed to lucrative Offices who in
any way participated in those frauds.
This, to our mind, is confirmation strong
as proof Of holy writ

The Outs VS.. the Ins.

There was considerable excitement in
Baltimore on Monday, at the Republican
primaries. The Customhousc aud Post
Office faction carried 16 out of the 20
wards. In the 18th ward the ''ouls' pub
lished a protest against the action of the
above faction, but at the election the Gins
polled Clio votes, while the. "outs," with
two tickets, pollcd 1877 votes. In the
evening, says the american, meeting of
the representatives of the defeated faction
was held, soon after the result was known,
on the northwest corner of Calvert and
Lexington streets. General Adam +.
King, Mr. Jehu b. Askew, and several
others more or less prominent and lately
connected with either the Postoffice or
Custom House were present. They de-
clared that they were beaten BY 'fraud, y
and that the most proper thing would be
to send a protest to the City Convention
against the seating of some of the dele
gates.

LincOln's Arrival i'm Springfield,

Mr.. John F. Speed, of Springfield,
H., lectured in Louisville, KY, devoting
himself to "reminiscences of Abraham
Lincoln. Mr.. Speed is a native of Ken
lucky, but in 1885 opened a store in
Springfield. Two years later, as he
stated In his lecture, Mr.. Lincoln came
to Springfield, riding a borrowed horse,
and alighting at Mr.. Speeds store door,
entered and asked the price of sufficient
bed clothes to tit up single bed. Upon
being Informed that, together with a
mattress, they would cost 81, he replied
that he had not ST. in the world, but
that if Mr.. Speed would credit him until
Christmas he would pay him, provided
he succeeded in his procession. " But"
he added, IF | do not succeed do not
know as | can ever pay you" "His
face, as he uttered the words" said Mr..
Speed, "was the saddest | ever saw.
told him that above the store in which
We were standing was bedroom in
which slept, and that if he was willing
to occupy il with me he was quite well
come 10 do So Mr.. Lincoln went up
to see the room, and returned in great
glee, cordially accepting the invitation.
MI. Speed store became the headuuar-
tiers OF a social club, in which the young
men of the embryo city assembled
nightly and discussed problems of the
day, in which politics came in for a full
share. There, around the stove, on
many winters night, the Titans, Lin
coin and Stephen A. Douglas, then a
rising young lawyer, measured the
swords that were never sheathed during
Mr.. Douglas life.
