in the absence Of full details, there is reason
to apprehond that the British authorities have
acted hastily in removing the American
traders who were shipping guano from those
barren slets known as the MoIant Keys. In
the interest Of harmony, it would have been
better for the Governor of Jamaica to have had
the right Of possession settled by civil process
and diplomatic correspondence, rather than by
the interI enti0n Of a war vessel.

THE INDIAN WAR.

dispatches from Idaho relative to
che Indian war, are somewhat contra
dictory. We are told in one sentence
chat the Indian war is over, and that
General Howard has disposed of the
troops under his command to the best
advantage. to quiet the fears of the
people and afford protection to the
greatest. possible number of settlers.
LIN the next. news of depredations COM
mitted by the hostiles within the last
week. are reported. If these reports
are not exaggerated, the Indians are
aow stealing as many horses and be-
having as badly in Idaho as when they
hfst took the war path. Another dis
patch from Boise City Gays the great
object of General Howard was to. cap
sure the Indians or drive them into,
sheir agencies, and this has been done
efsctually.
These reports, though from the same
souree--the agent of the Associated
Press at Boise City--cannot all be COR
sect. If Indian signal fires are seen
blazing nightly on Stein Mountain. and.
horses are being stolen almost daily by
Indians within seventy-fve miles of
Boise Gay. Howard's great object. the
capture of the Indians, cannot be 30 eff
fectual as the press agent represents,
and they are still raidAg through the
country as they yere two months ago.

THE. POTTER. COMMITTEES.

The Potter Committee. appointed to
investigate Presidential election frauds,
has resumed its sessions in New York
City, Stanley Matthews has been
summoned to appear before it, but the
great ohiean, who probably knows as
much abont the frauds as anybody in
the United States, refuses to obey the
snmmons, and says it is of no conse-
quence to the Committee whether he
does or not. Matthews is United
States Senator, and as such leans back
on his dignity and disputes the au-
thority of the Committee to compel
him to obey its summons. This brings
General Butler, who is the leading
spirit of the Committee, to his feet with
the determination of making the ques-
ton OF Matthews attendance an
issue between the House of Repre-
sentatives and the Senate. Butler says
if the House has not the power to com
pei the attendance of witnesses before
it's Committee, the investigation is USE
less, aud the truth of the assertion
must be apparent to everybody. In the
most trivial cases brought before
Courts of Justice. witnesses, whether
they know anything about the issues
involved or not, must obey the sum-
mons of the Court under penalty of
fine and Imprisonment for contempt in

fear of punishment, when refusal to

Peace would subject him to fine and

repeatedly stated by those who profit
by fraud that the Potter investigation
was farce, and if the Senate of the
United States justifes the course of
Stanley Matthews in refusing to obey
the summons of the Committee. their
assertions were we'll founded.
