The monotony of their easy -going lives,
by galloping off on thievery, and MUIR
dering expeditions among the exposed
frontier settlements Of the whites.
The Government has been bandying
the direction Of the Indian affairs be-
tween church and army now placing
it under jurisdiction ecclesiastical and
anon under the military; and so first
one and then the other again turn
about. Now in either case the policy
is blunder, and fails to meet the re.
quirements. The department to which
these turbulent and lawless siwashes
should be referred is that If the police.
To call the outbreaks Of these scurri-
lous brigands war is todignify pillage
and murder. To send out the u. s.
army to put down such is to prostitute
a service ennobled by glorious record.
and at the same time involve a great
end foolish waste OF funds.
Congress ought to provide method
by which the Sheriffs Of counties. or
Marshals of states, subject to annoyance
from this cause, may call out and arm.

emergency, and go for the miscreants
as they would for band of horse

Infamous felons. When once taken in
to custody they should never receive
any quarter or mercy. but be hung or
put to hard penitentiary labor for life
as any assassin should be. The Bible
says: IF q man will not work, neither
shall he eat." The Miss-Nancyish

of the yellow covered school of litera-
ture and Cooper's tales, Is responsible
for the weak, feckless and disastrous
Indian administration that has dis
graced the records of the past. To
treat with the filthy bandits as nations,
and put on the same fuss and flummery
of diplomacy in dealing with them
as with the greatest powers of Europe,
is both foolish and a degrading farce.
The government is made ridiculous by
it and the poor people of the frontier
have to suffer sorely as the consequence
of such stupid folly. No. send the
police after them with bludgeons, and
repeating rifles as well just as they
went after the whites in tho Eastern
cities last year. and it would not be
amiss to give them carte blanche au-
thority to hang or shoot down on the
spot every red rascal caught with arms
in his hands.

Entcrt "a In m mt at the Sem N "a =

On the Sd inst. the young ladies
gymnastic performance was witnessed
at the Female Seminary by numer-
Gus people. The class, "a in number,
under the charge of Miss Susie Moore,
was certainly well drilled, going
through the whole routine, with only
the music to aid them, without sins
gle mistake. The music, on the piano,
by Miss Susie herself was of the high
est character, She was aided by her
vocal class and also by Misses Lizzie
and Matte Protzman, whose vocal
powers are in high repute. But one of
the most attractive performances of all
was the cornet solo, Sparkling Polka, :"
by Mr.. w. A. Mestrezat. The ar
rangement is very difficult, requiring
fine powers of execution, but was well
rendered.

OUTRAGEoUs.-On last Monday
evening Miss ANNA Dean and Miss
Mile Christie were returning from
visiting at Mrs, Mestrezat's, Durban>
nah, to their homes in Morgantown, a
crowd Of drunken negroes met them in
the Decker's creek bridge, cursing and
throwing stones. One of the stones
thrown struck Miss Dean upon the
forehead and inflicted fearful wound.
The young lady, streaming with blood
and in fainting condition, was assist
ed home and DR.. G. w. John sent for
who dressed the wound. 1t is outrag>
eous that respectable people should be
thus wantonly assaulted and so mutilat-
ed by reckless and profigatc young
men, and they should be severely pun
ished for their lawlessness. Whether
the unlucky blow was accidental or in
territorial it was criminal, and the ex-
cuse that the stones thrown were in
tended to frighten one of their COM
rades Is no excuse or mitigation of the
crime.

nolds, (colored) charged with carry
ing on the business Of retail liquor
dealer without license. Hon. Geo. c.

both attorneys. The jury after being
out half an hour returned q verdict of
not guilty. Mr.. Staggers is rapidly
gaining reputation as lawyer from
the fact that he always wins his
cases.
