Among tie, many bad legaciss bequeath-
Cd to us by Grants Administration, one
of the worst and nost Thoroughly corrupt
probably, is she lndisnf Bureau, as it has
for the last sig or seven uyesrs. 1t has
come to be pretty thoroughly understood
that the Indian awards of the Nation
have always been regarded as fair game
TO be plucked ara plnndered oy every po-
litical adventnrer who could manage to
to get himself appointed one of their
guardians, y under the name Of "Indian
Agent" but il remained for the Radicals
during Grants term, to invent 'pious'
and Christian" system, BY which, under
pretsnce of acivilising and Christisnising
the Aborigines, not only were those latter
robbed and cheated until they have been
driven to the war-path by destitution and
ll-usage of every kind, but the United
States has also been plundered upon q
scale never before attempted. Some reve-
lations Of the extent to which this has been
carried on have just been made in the
Sioux agencies in Dakatak, which prom :
ise, in their ultimate developments, to
show howeit is that "Christian statesmen
are so anx ious to procure appointments as
Indian agents, and how they get rich in
short order when so appointed.
u
The system of piunder of both Indians
and the Government is unparalleled. One
of the witnesses who testified before Gen
eral Hammond agains. the agent, was
found dead>in his house, two days after
wards, shot through the heart. The
agents party have attempted to give his
death the character OF a suicide, but thus
far no evidence Of . positive nature Oh
either theory has been obtained. The
man was a very strong witness in the caae
of fraud to the amount Of nearly $1,000.
That part Of the population of the Ter
ritoy under tie Influence Of the Indian
Ring and the contractors is in open hos
tility to the G overnmsnt, General Ham.
mond, and Capt. Dougherty; and for a
time mob excitement prevailed in Yank-
ton 10 such degree that it was propose q
to raise crowd Of "tramps'' and go up
and attack the soldiers on guard al Crow
Creek "a proposition which, which had
/. been carried into efect, would have
resulted 10 showing the raiders" that
Ciptain Doughert7 and the syldiers were
very much in earnest. General Ham
moods life was threatened but il ia tradi
tional with his family to die with boots
On; and he paid little attention TO The va
poripgs Of the detected thieves and TIER
bakers. The case will probably 20 to the
courts without any further bloodshed
Gen. Hammond and Captain Dougherly
have affeady been summoned to appear
in civil ,actions, brought at the instigation
of the Ring" by some ofthe understrap
pers msde use Of in the rob5eries perpe-
trated at the agencies. ..t 49,.

highest right of citizenship, for " af-
ter waiting a considerable time only
10 electors were found to be present. ?
In view Of this discouraging con-
dition Of affairs. The Archiman-
drate very justly decided that such a
small number could not properly reps
resent the population of Larnaca, y
the population Of the district, in
GLIDING Marina, being in the neighbor-
hood of 1000 and so adjourned the
meeting until the evening
BY way of filing in histime the
eminent religious functionary went
over to Marina, where he presided
over a second ~assemblage, at the
church of st, LaEefus, consisting Of
precisely 30 persons. Apparently,
the Archimandrate was satisfied with
this number, for, the election was eal-
lowed to proceed. Each person had
the right to vote once for each Of the
Is candidates or to divide his Is
votes among the candidates in any
proportion that seemed to him good.
On this basis the devoted so went to
work with a will, and in very short or
der the Marina quota of the delegates
were elected most of those voting
giving as many as 10 votes for them
selves" Then the Archimandrate
gravely departed, and -" late in the
same evening the sitting was resumed
at Larnaca, % persons being present.
Mournfully Cyprus adds that these
followed the same plan as that adopt
ed at the Marina, and duly elected
their IS delegates.P 'Nll

proprietor Of the LEDGER. He0ent
to a livery stable, left the buggy and
borrowed a saddle and bride, and put
ting them on the horse quickly de-
camped for parts unknown. He turned
up in a few days at Moscow, forty
miles from Memphis, where he dis
posed of the horse, which few months
ago cost $50, for $35. He here stole
another overcoat and some jewelry
from the mayor of the town and
escaped on the Charleston railroad.
He represented he was the owner of a
ranch thirty miles south Of San An
tonic, and had just donated one hun
dred head of cattle to the Memphis
Towards. He was arrested at Iuka,
Miss, but escaped on account of some
negligence and has not been heard of
since. He represented his father as a
resident Of Newark, N. j. A San
San Antonio nurse, Mr.. Shelton, now
here, says Clark was formerly a circus
man.
The aforesaid Clark is about thirty
FIVE years old, has black hair and eyes,
is FIVE feet eight inches in hight, and
weighs one hundred and sixty pounds,
has sailor marks of India ink ON both
arms, was smoothly shaver, except a
young mustaehe, and said he usually
wore mutton-chop whiskers. He is
sharp and writes a fine business hand.
While Captain Mathes and wife
have recovered from the fever, and
feel grateful to the people of San
Antonio for many courtesies received
on their visit to that place last year.
they do not feel very kindly toward
the Thoroughbred seoundrel, who,
under pretense of disinterested friend
ship in a period of dire extremity, be-
trayed his trust and proved to be a
thief and heartless migrate, If he is
really a Texan our people should mark
him, and when opportunity offers bring
him to justice. YUBA DAM.

THE NEXT L%EGIsLATURE.

The Nashville Banner Office lately
issued a circular and sent it to promi-
nent parties in the State, with a view
to ascertain the position Of the mem
bers-elect upon the State debt ques-
ton. Over sixty of the incoming
members have been heard from. Seven
or eight of them are in favor of ac-
cepting a fifty cents proposition or
whatever rate maybe demanded blythe
bondholders. These are classed by
the Banner as high tax men. They
are mostly Republicans. A few are
almost for out-and7out reputation.
Some will oppose any action unless the
bondholders come forward and make a
very reasonable proposition. The ma
iority we infer standupon the platform
of Col. John II. Savage, senator elect
from the MeMinnville district, who
might stretch his conscience so as to
cover %! cents on the dollar, but it
would snap in two before he would 60
to 33i. The State debt question was
made an issue in nearly every county
and district and nearly all the mem
bers elect are committed openly and
positively. The bondholders will save
themselves and the legislature a
sight of trouble and annoyance if they
will hold a meeting at New York OF
Baltimore and agree upon a PROPOSE
ton to be submitted by their recog-
nized agents to the people Of Ten
nessee through the legislature. 1t is
unnecessary to go over the ground
again. The LEDGRR has discussed
tbs question for years, beginning at q
time when we were almost alone Oh

been aroused, expressions have beer
brought forth. and the people who
