Dear Sir,--We have duly received your Exec.
lency's proclamation Of April G;h, communicating
the act of the General Assembly OF Virginia, as'
proved March 18th, 1873 providing for an exchange
of the principal of the rcorganZcd debt OF The Co-
monweulh into bond bearing three per cent.
interest for c.htecn years, and four per cent Tor
thlrty-two years until paid, with Z new ntercS'.
bearing certificate for The amount Of accrued AMI
unpaid interest up to July 1:t 1878, to be redeem
able at the pleasure Of the General Assembly
We have taken pains 10 consult the owners Oh IL:
obligations of the Commonwealth, both in Europe
and America IN regard to the plan embodied in the
act and find very unanimous sentiment that the
terms proposed are not such as the Creditors nae
reason to expect in view of the and char
actcr of the State, or as they would feel Justified to
accept by making the exchange proposed
At the same time the bondholdcrs are very
DESTROYS to consider the circumstances in which the
Commonwealth stands, and to cooperate as lar a.
reasonable and Just consideration of their own
right and position will allow in arriving al such 4
settlement IS would afford q common ground OF
which they could meet Ana II inc commemorate

ORGANIZE FOR PROJECTION.


DISQUALIFICATION aritt the minneapolis MIL
ers' association.
Willmar Republican, Gazette, Sept. &c.
The farmers throughout the county are
very much dissatisfied with the grade re-
celved for their wheat, believing that the
Minneapolis Millers' association are keeping
it down lower than is right. It is thought
by some parties that better price can be
realized for wheat by shipping it past Min.
neapolis to some other markets. A "Calp
from MI. Fleckten, county commissioner, is
issued this week, requesting the farmers OF
the county to meet in this town on Saturday
next and talk the matter over. A large
quantity of the wheat raised in this section
will not be GRADED better than No. 3 at the
elevators, even if it lacks but a halt pound
of going No. 2. The price of No. wheat is
so much less than for No. that farmers
cannot sell their wheat for No. and
realize any profit, consequently they fee
very much abused when their wheat is graded
as that. With whom the fault rests we are
unable to say, but there is certainly very
strong feeling among the farmers of this
county that the Minneapolis Millers' associa-
ton is not doing the fair thing this year, and
they are going to make an effort to do better
in some other quarter. We have talked with
some of the large farmers of the county,
and they declare their determination to ship
their wheat to some other point, feeling GER
tain that they can realize better figure fol
it. There will unquestionab.y be other buy
ers in this market before long, competition
will then be lively, and it seems to us that if
farmers can hold their wheat for while they
will be likely to get better price than is
now paid, and do much better than to ship il
on uncertainties

THE INDIAN COMMISSION.
cincinnati Enquirer, Sept. 3O.l

Continuation of the Inquiry at st. LOnis---
Reasons Wig the Soldiers Should and
Should Not Haze Charge of the Redskins.
st. Louis Special (Sept. 30) Chicago Tribune.
The Indian commission, which has been in
session here for several days, continued its
work to-day by the examination of number
of witnesses. Daniel j. Kelly formerly
agent at Standing Rock agency, stated that
there were about 1000 Indians at the Stand
ing Rock agency. He thought the Indians
could learn how to govern themselves.
When he was there they were under mob
law, and were not allowed to make any pro-
gress. The first year he was there there
were no soldiers at the agency.
The agency was established by Gen
eral Harvey. Some of the Indians
Several of the agents were military men, and
the Indians did not like them. There was
sometimes fear of an attack on this account.
There were troops at the agency most of the
time There was no trouble with the Indian
women till the soldiers came. The place
was moral under civilian rule. He thought
1t would be better for the Indians to remain
under civil contract. The Indians hate the
soldiers, and do not want them in their
sight. The Indians want to be independent
in their tribal relations, and he thought the
laws ought to extend to them as to other
citizens of the county. They know
something of holding property in
severalty. A poor Indian is not
respected, but rich one is ga big man. in
camp. The property consists mostly of
horses. 1t seemed to be necessary for the
soldiers to remain at the agency after they
had come there. The Indians were very
troublesome, and learned to hate all white
people sointensely that the soldiers were
necessary for protection. Supplies were
transported mostly through the agents of
the Indian bureau. The methods of trans
portation in the war department. are much
superior. Maj. j. A. Hearn had charge of
the agency for two years. There were two
good agents one military, the other civil
both satisfactory to the Indians. The In
dams were not materially inclined to work,
