The ChOctaM Indians.

The indications are that there is no dan
ger of the extinction of this tribe of In
dams if they are spared until the Govern
ment of the United States does justice to
them. As long ago rs September 81, 1880,
the Government made a treaty with the
Choctaws, in effect that they should leave
their reservation east and move west of the
Mississippi River, thereby ccding to the
Government IO,432, 1860 acres of land,
which was worth at least S1O,OOO,OOO. OF
course as is the custom of this Government
in dealing with the aboriginal inhabitants
of this country, this treaty has never, in
any essential point, been carried out in
good faith. The Choctaws left their hunt
fairgrounds and the Government possessed
them. They moved without any material
aid from the Government, and yet it sets
up claim of more than 100000 ex-
pended for that purpose. Other claims
have been set up on the part of the Gov
eminent and scored to this account, until
the amount now standing clearly and without
question to the credit Of the Choctaw nation
is S2,9sl ,2i730. This money is honestly
and Justly owing to this tribe of Indians or
their surviving representatives. Suisse
quent treaties have been made with this
tribe, but none that in any way interferes
with or reduces the amount now set down
as due them.
peatedly by the Committees on Indian AZ
fairs in Congress, and as often rs so consid-
cred the justice of the claim has been re-
asserted. The House Committee on Indian
Affairs of the present Congress has consid-
cred this claim, and has made report in
which is set forth the fact that the Govern
ment owes this tribe of Indians this large
sum of money which has been honestly
their due for more than seventeen years
and still remains unpaid. The majority
of the committee inquiries: "Now what is to
be done? We can't stand here without
dishonor. We ratified the treaty
the treaty submitted the questions
of difference TO the Senate; the Senate ac-
cepted the position and made the award
We must either carry out the award or sub
nit the whole matter again to the Senate
where the treaty placed it,"
The minority recommend that the
award he submitted to the Court of Claims
to be there adjudicated; but admits that
nineteen years have TRANSFERRED since the
senate of the United States made theil
award and it still remains uneXecuted
With these startling admissions staring 1t IN
the face how can this Government, without
dishonOr, longer hesitate in its duty 10 this
tribe of Indians? If the claimants were
not weak and deienseless, per Sc, this claim
would have been liquidated long ago. Is il
honorable, then, in this Government To
withhold from this people this compare,
lively paltry sum? If it had been claim

Bull-DOxing silver.

We have been shown circular signed by
RUFUS HATCH & Co., bankers, of New York
city, which is addressed to the Senators
and members of the House of Representa-
uves in Congress assembled" and which
suggests
l. A bill to cancel grecnbacks by retir-
ing the denominations of bills under $50.
2 To coin and put in circulation an
amount of gold equal thereto in IS and
500 pieces and of silver in twenty-five
and fifty cents and 81 pieces equal to the
81 and 50 bills.
3. No more national-bank notes of less
denomination than s. to be issued, and
those already issued to be retired
4. That the United States Treasury shall
issue no more bills of less denomination
than $50.
1t is TO be hoped, now that the money
centres have failed to defeat the rcmonetiza-
ton Of silver, that its enemies will not be
permitted to exercise undue influence in
tinkering the currency Of the country in the
future. We are at II loss at first sight to dis
cover any good and sufficient reason for re-
firing the small bills of our currcncy-cer-
tainly not in view of the circular of the
Chancellor OF the Exchequer, which in
forms the country that the silver dollar
for the present is to be boarded and not put
in circulation for business purposes. The
people demanded Of Congress the silver dol
lar, and nominally they have secured it

Class Legislation.

1t seems q little remarkable that Congress
cannot touch any subject of legislation
which may affect private interests without
the danger of its committees having the
same in charge being ut once beset by the
representatives of such interests to allow
them to dictate the future law on the sub
ject. Congressional committees are thank
can gain from the merchants and mGnufac-
turers and producers of the country that
will tend to aid them in their efforts at
intelligent legislation. But it is impossible
to look for advice from interested quarters
that shall be purely patriotic and unsefsh.
As the producers, manufacturers importers,
&c, are not the parties who ultimately pay
the taxes assessed against their wares, goods,
and merchandise, il would appear to be best
to take their advice with a grain of eau
ton. 1t is the consumer who pays the tax
finally, and on this account he should have
something to say about its assessment.
No amendment to the tariff, to the ma
tional banking law, to the internal-revenue
law, but such an excitement is at once
raised by the class supposed to be affected
as would lead the casual observer to suppose
that its members paid into the Treasury
from their own profit the amounts involved
in the changes proposed. The statistics OF
trade, the cost of production of produce and
goods both in this and other, countries to-
gether with charges incident to shipment, re-

THE idle crowds around the courthouse
made some efforts toward an introduction of
mob law in this District yesterday Us the pris-
oner CURTIS, alias RAY, was removed from the
dock Let us remind these justly indignant
people that there is no necessity for such de-
monstration here. This is law-abiding COM
munity, and there is but one way in which to
preserve peace and order, and that is by let
ting tho course Of justice have its perfect
work. There is no danger of this prisoner es-
Gaping the sentence of the law II he is con-
victed. If he should not be convicted he will
be entitled to his liberty. In any event there
could be no credit reflected upon an excited
mob who should do violence to a defcnseless,
one-srmed prisoner. Chivalry, as well as law
and order, demands his protection under tn
law. We trust our citizens will preserve in
tact the good name Of Washington as q law
abiding city.

The question Of employing experts 70
aid in Congressional Investigations was
under discussion in the House Yesterday,
and some very peculiar developments were
made, showing what absurdities had been
enacted under such pretences. Mr.. HALE
brought out the fact that three years ago,
JOHN l. VANCE brought . scsian
named AYRSHIRE to this city to help inyes-
tigate the Government Printing Office. II
appears that this man Ayrshire was n
miller, and not even q printer, much less an
expert" at the printing business. Neither
do the records of that investigation show
that AYRSHIRE was used rs witness to
show what discoveries he had made as an
expert" All that is known of him is that
he drew 500 from the National Treasury
and left on file receipted voucher to show
that facial else is blank.
The AYRSHIRE matter was among the
most fair and just of the performances of the
majority Of that committee during the in.
vestigation in question. The page of Amer.
lean history does not contain a chapter Of
as deep-dyed injustice and persecution rs II
affords. The majority report was distor.
ton of the facts developed by the proofs
and was denounced as such by the minority
of the committee, both in its report and in
its remarks sustaining it. The purpose wa,
to sacrifice the Congressional Printer at al
hazards, without any regard to truth Of
Justice, and under unjust inquisitorial

1t is now said that NICHOLS has been
induced to withhold pardon from AMBER
BON through fear of the white League
that engine of injustice, intimidation, and
assassination, which spread terror through
out Louisiana, and subverted the elective
franchise during the last Presidential cleo.
tiOn. 1t is cowardice then, that has pro.
longed the unjust punishment of AMBER,
soN, in violation Of positive assurances
given to prominent officials in the Govern
ment to the contrary, BY delay NICHOLS
has put il out Of his power TO grant par
don until the legislature convenes in De-
ccmbcr next. To delay under, the influ-
ences named is to surrender, in cowardly
manner to mob law, and to admit
that terrorism is more potent than
the majesty Of government. In view
OF these facts and circumstances, has the
State OF Louisiana republican form of gov
eminent, such ~ the Constitution guar,n.
tee. and the President is bound by his
cath to youch-ale? And if not will the
President yIndicatc the Constitution in its
integrity, or lea'c the State a victim to mob
rule To passi'riy submit to such u con-
