WASHINGTON NEWS.
THE INDIAN RINGS CHANGE OF
VIEWS.
The Southern Members Determined OF
Sustain DOorkeeper Polk.
CONGRESS TO ADJOURN BY THE
MIDDLE OF JUNE.

New YORK, April ). A Washington special
says there IS fair prospect that Congress will ad
iourn by the middle of June.
1t s said to be n curious fact that the Iudisn
ring. which heretofore has violently opposed turn
ing The Indians over to the war department, are
now very earnestly lobbying to have = change
made.
The Herald says Southern democrats say they
are tired OF the policy Of Northern democrats
voting with republicans, aud the issue might Just
as well be made on doorkeeper as upon any other
question. 1t is evident that this frmness on the
part of Southern members is bound to make q
row. If the democrats who voted to retire Polk
should not be bound by the action OF the caucus
nominee, the republicans viii rally their enu e
strength for Sherwood, postmaster of the house
during the 43I Congress.
The ma ority of the senators favor investgst.
ing the charges against the lobbyists made by
Edmunds.
Southern democrats in the house are reported
as exceedingly angry at Northern democrats vot.
ing against Polk, aud believe they will insist upon
Polk being renomi mated in caucus to night.

Newspaper Change.


Changes are of such seldom occurrence in tie
life Of the old MAINE FARMER, when such an
event takes place, it may be regarded in the
light Of novelty. Yesterday, the senior prop.i-
etor, Joseph loman, Esq, sold his entire in
tercst in the Farmer, being oDe-half, to Mr..
Joseph II. Marley of this city. After faithful ser
vice covering period of nearly half century, Mr..
IIoman retires from the cares and pc pleXtes Of
active business, having what few newspaper men
are able to provide, a competency of this worlds
goods. Taking his stand at the printers case
when but twelve years of age, he obtained a
thorough knowledge of the cart preservative,"
aud has passed through all the successive steps
of graduation, from apprenticeship with its drudg-
cry to the cares of the management of large es-
Enlistment of his own. Even during the last
few years we have found him busy at the case his
love for the art captivating him to its constant
practice. Twenty years ago, in company with
James 5. Marley, Esq, father of the pro-
prietor) who was also an educated, practical
printer, he purchased the Farmer, the two gentle
men ny previously been in partnership for a
series of years, in the publication Of the Gospel
Banner. Seventeen years ago, account of de
CHUNG health, MIR. Maney sold his interest in the
Farmer to W. $. Badger, Esq. In Mr.. Romans
retnency, the fraternity will lose one of its abe.t
members; but latter warfare. rest is pleasant"
and we trust that it may come in large measure to
one who has 50 well earned it.
Mr.. Badger, who has been half owner of the es-
tabshmen Mt for seventeen years, continues in the
same capacity,the new firm being known a, Badger
Il Msney. Mr.. Badgers popularity and business
capacity are so well recognized in his spec ia de-
partment Of the paper, that his continuance in
that capacity i'll be a pledge of the continuance
of that uniform success which has followed tue
paper from its start. The more than ten thous-
and patrons of the Farmer will be glad to know
that Mr.. S. l.. Boardman will continue to occupy
the ch air editorial. His work for the past sixteen
years, in the columns Of the Farmer and through
the state Agricultural Reports, has placed him
country. Dr. Lapham will be retained for the
presen; on the depar nlent he has filled for six
years.
To the new proprietor, Mr.. Joseph II.
Marley we extend the warm hand OF q friend OF
more than twenty years acquaintance Born and
educated in Augusta, identified with its interests he
comes now to assume business to which he will
devote all his time and energies. With rare nat
ursl gifts, he has had somewhat of experience as
journalist. as newspaper correspondent and for
years the Augusta agent of the Associated Press.
We predict for himself, partner and co. lsborers
the most abundant success, and for the fsvorite
paper of the farmers of Maine a new career of
prosperity.
