Washington, Jan. 21.-Following is

Be it enacted, etc., That there shall
be coined from time to time at the
mints of the United States, standard
silver dollars as provided for in the act

New York, Jan. 21.-The anniversary
services of the Niobrara League were
held last night, Bishop Potter presid-
ing. Bishop Hare, of Niobrara, pre-
sented report of the work of the Mis-
sion for 1877. 1t states that the year
has been a prosperous one and the
congregation and schools have in
creased. The conviction is expressed
that if the present policy of the Gov
ernment is adhered to, the whole Sioux
nation will become peaceable people.
Among the lower Brules, at the Spot
ted Tail and Cheyenne Agencies, good
work is being done. In some places,
however, there is an absence of law
that should make every man who sits
in the national halls of legislation
blush. ri, ID
Bishop Hare preached q sermon on
the Niobrara missionary work, and
urged his hearers to think of the i'm.
mortal souls of the Indians, and not to
think Of them as a race.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Third Assist
ant Postmaster General Hager has pre-
pared for consideration by Congress a
bill proposing an important change in
the law regulating the compensation of
fourth-class postmasters, or all whose
annual compensation is less than $1,000.
1t provides that the basis of their COM
pensation shall be the face value of the
stamps cancelled in their respective
offices, instead of the value of stamps
sold by them. 1t also imposes severe
penalties for making false returns and
for trafficking in stamps. The present
mode of adjusting the salaries of presi-
Dental postmasters will be left substan-
TALLY unchanged. The bill embodies
the recommendation of Postmaster
General Key, in his last annual report,
and will by him be transmitted to Con-
gress at an early day.

Washington, Jan. 21.-The military
affairs committee has communication
from Gen. Pope regarding army organ
ization, etc. He expresses the opinion
that twenty-five thousand men is too
small force for the need of the coun-
try, and argues that the committee, in
order properly to determine the ques-
ton of staff organization and admins
tration, should provide for its thorough
investigation by board of officers Of
rank and great experience, to be desig-
mated by an act of Congress. General
Pope holds that an army, no less than a
form of government, must be suited to
people, or it is sure to prove both in
efficient and unsatisfactory. To say
that because system of army organ
ization and administration has worked
well in Germany or France, or else
where, where there exist such wide
differences, both in the character and
habits of the people, and the nature of
the military service to be performed, it
should therefore be adopted in this
country, is no more sound than to say
the same thing of political organization.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Col. Adair, a
delegate of the Cherokee Nation, was
before the House committee on Terri
tories to-day and spoke for an hour in
opposition to the bill to establish a
territorial government called Oklahama
out of the Indian Territory. He argued
that the proposition was in the interest
of land operators, and violation of
the treaties and the decision of the
Supreme court, and read from the
writings of Presidents Washington,
Madison, jefferson and Jackson, and of
Calhoun, in support of the treaty rights
of the Indian.

THE extensive tract of wild and
wonderful country, with its geysers,
exhausted volcanoes and other marvels
OF nature, which Congress has set apart
for National Park, to be known as
1.-THE Yellowstone Park" is to be
carefully protected and cared for. The
Commissioners appointed under the act
OF reservation held meeting at WASH
ington the other day and agreed upon a
report. They will recommend that the
superintendent of the park be a salaried
officer, that he 6e given certain judicial
powers and be authorized to appoint a
constabulary to protect the natural
suriosities of that park from further
depredations by hunters and tourists.
The commission also recommends the
passage of a stringent law for the pres
ervation of these curiosities.

San Francisco, Jan. 21.-No disturb
ance occurred yesterday, although the
authorities have maintained every pre-
caution against the event of any aris-
ing. No attempt was made to hold a
Sunday meeting at the new city hall
lots, although several hundred people
collected in the vicinity during the
afternoon, laughing and talking over
matters in quiet way. Several hun
dred of Kearney's party went over to
Oakland and participated in a meeting
there, at which about 9, 200 were pres
ent. The orators, while supporting
Kearney's movement, deprecated the
extreme violence of his expressions as
unwise.
A state convention of the Kearney
wing of the workingmen is announced
to assemble in this city tomorrow.
The object is stated to be the adoption
of a permanent platform, election of
officers and general organization of the
party. Delegates are expected to be
present from each county in the state,
from each ward club of this city, and
from such anti-Coolie organizations as
choose to participate.
Mayor Bryant announced that he
will not allow convention to be held,
in accordance with the policy now in
operation of breaking up all assemblies
in the interest of incendiary agitators.
The leaders of the movement state that
if the convention cannot be held here
IL will assemble In Oakland.
