Situation.
st. Paul Dispatch, Sept. 10.
A private letter from a resident of Browns
Valley, dated the Sd inst, to a gentleman of
this CITY, remarks: "The Indians have boon
making it hot for Agent Hooper and my
opinion is that he will find it hotter in the
winter time if he remains. In fact I consid-
er that the agent is in actual personal dan
ger, though he doesn't seem to realize it.
Gov. Bulls, I hear, has urged upon the de-
partment the necessity ofthe agents imme-
diate removal. The indians are determined
that Hooper shall not stay. The governor
advised them to wait patiently until the
government could a tupon his Investigation.
They have patiently waited nearly a
month but, as they have heard nothing
as to the intention of the govern
ment to remove Hooper, they are getting
restless again. If he is not removed he
he may get along a month or two without
an outbreak, but 1 tell you there is danger
in the experiment. The feeling of the In
dams is SO bitter that some reckless young
buck may take it into his head to relieve
his people by killing the agent, when he
can fly to the plains or 20 to. Sitting Bull.
where he will be feasted and made much of.
The agent would see this if he was not blind
ed by his want Of knowledge of the people
around him OF course the tribe would
suffer for such an act and the leading men
are alarmed at the possible consequences of
the common feeling of their people. We
here are greatly interested because trouble
at the reservation might destroy the fair
prospects of our new settlements and would
certainly stop immigration. I hope, there
fore, you will encourage the friends of the
Indians in st. Paul to demand an early
decision on the report of Gov. Bulls"

For Ourselves we cannot bear &

people of Virginia must suffer from
the impaired srgdit that must fall upon
themselves as well IL their State, Their,
is a political infamy that attaches t,
public dishOn0r that gentleman enter
tanning proper sentiments cannot re.
gard without dismay.
What possibility is there for any OF
the nionarchics of the day to rcpldiate
their debts or fail TO meet their respOn-
sibilites: What would be the standing
of one that would become defauler
making no provision for a continuance
Of its credit 1t would hold no respect
able position in the society of nations,
and would be- RENTED to the place of
decaying and contemplate States.
Shall we hold our own republican
State In less respect than belongs to Il
personal governments Is the govern
melit proceeding from the people-lhe
government that reposes upon their
bravery, wisdom and honOr-one that
may exist with II moral semSt and a po-
litical integrity of character degraded
in comparison with II one-mln's gov
ernment?
Shame should mantle the check Of
any citizen of the Republic who would
c2nfess that it should!
The matter Of, puhIic honor Of Il State
is that concerns the nation. State
dishonor must involve, to some degree,
the dishonor of the nation. Does any
one suppose that the dishOnor of a State
like Virginia expects 40 effect upon
the nation? That would be to under
rate Virginia. God forbid that any
man called a Virginian could feel that
he could assist TO defamc his State UNI
der the plea that her defamation would
not impart Il taint TO the Republic.
If we may suppose that State infidel-
ity is to be brought about by the insen-
to public honor of her own cit
is it notl logical conclusion that
the Federal Government may feel the
necessity of providing against damage
to national honor by such disgrace!
When Pennsylvania partially repudia-
ted, the Federal Government found it
impossible to borrow money in Europe,
so seriously had the State delinquency
affected the national credit. We would
not be surprised at an attempt to amend
the Federal Constitution with a view
of preventing any recurrence Of surh u
thing as State faithlessneSs. What
would our people think lift were pro-
posed that on account of the default of
Virginia the constitution should be so
amended as to remit any State failing
to redeem its obligations to the terrific
raj condition, and empower the FEEDER
al Government to collect taxes from the
peorfctap pay their debts?
The contemplation of the subject is
fearfully Notifying, and the people of
Virginia should with one voice demand
Virginia be lifted out Of her pres
ent condition and restored to the proud
pedestal upon which she Was placed by
our forefatherS.
