Interesting Indian News from the
Land Of Sitting Bull.

~<eSGA Va 0AutAhS3 1011s
Father J. B. NJ Genin, the we'll
known and Jealous Catholic mis-
sionary, returned to the head of the
lake last Saturday, after an absence
of more than year among the hos
tile Indians of the Northwest. He
spent a considerable portion of the
time in the camp of Sitting Bull,
and as he comes here fresh from
the headquarters Of that wariike
chief the information we have
cleaned from him cannot but he in
teresting. It may be proper to
state that Father Genin speaks the
Sioux and several other Indian
languages fiuently and has had the
personal acquaintance and close
confidence of Sitting Bull for more
than ten years. He says that Sitting
Bull Is full blooded Indian, very
deep, shrewd and reticent, and
although not leading man in po-
litical sense is by all odds the lead
ing military man amongst the In
dams. Father GenIn estimates that
S. B. has under his immediate con-
troll 1000 warriors, and that circum-
stances might add full 10000 more
from surrounding bands and tribes.
He thinks tie Indians will confne
themselves to Her Majesty's soil
only 80 long as the hunting remains
good, and says that while profess
ing quasi friendship they hold in
utter contempt the Canadian mount
ed police, as well as their leader
Maj. Walsh, and that should trouble
arise they would make short work
of that body of red coats. He says
that Sitting Bull and the Indians
desire peace above all things, and
that they would be glad to re-
turn to their old hunting grounds in
Dakota if they could only be as
sured of being let alone. He says
that Sitting Bull declares that the
| whites invaded his country, the
Black Hills, killed his people and
drove him to the war path, and if
now the whites will let him alone
he will return and be "good In
dian" the remainder Of his days.
Father Genin says that the Indians
take to themselves great glory from
the Custer massacre, and that their
camps are full Of trophies OF that
gallant generals Inflated band of
soldiers. lie says the stories that
there are white men in Sitting
Bulls camp are mere inventions;
that he never heard Of these stories
till he came east amongst the white
people. lie laughs heartily at the
fiction of Corporal Martin Ryan,
the only survivor Of the Custer
fight" who vas said to be in S. BIS.
camp and married to that chiefs
daughter, and says that the Chief
has no daughter, his only children
being small son by his present
wife, and deformed son by a
former wife.
We are sorry that we cannot de-
tail the very highly interesting con-
versation we had with Father Genin
regarding the mode of life ard daily
habits OF the hostile Indians. his
journeys, adventures and life among
them, but space forbids. Father
Genin returns with health some
what imuaired, and we trust that the
long -needed rest which he can now
obtain will soon restore his former
physical vigor.

Our correspondent, "T. Co. in
an other column, in speaking of the
ability of the county to take care of
$4,000 of floating debt with $685.
900 of assets in the shape of tax
certificates, takes a rather more
hopeful view, we think, than the
situation warrants. If the most the
county has been able to secure late

to assume that the $4,000 of tax

The total paper currency in circu-
latiOn during the year 1860 was $207,-
iO2, All; the total paper currency in
circulation at the present time is $66S.
597, 275. And yet the Fiat" money ad-
vocates declare that the country
which was prosperous in 1850. has
been ruined by contraction OF the
currency"
The largest amount of paper cur
rcncy ever In circulation was during
the year 1865, when il aggregated $685..
318, 6S6. But that amount of paper
currency had purchasing power, COM
pared with coin, of only $685., 256, $50,
for it took nearly two dollars in paper
to buy one of gold orsilver. Now the
paper currency outstanding, aggregat-
| ing $668, 597 .275, has q purchasing pow
er, compared with coin, OF very nearly
the same amount, because greeubsck
is Just as good as gold for all practical
purposes, aud is quoted at only one
fourth of one per ceut. discount IL

power of the $68S, 597 ,275 paper cur
rency now outstanding is Only littlt
over three and half millions less tina,

cy outstanding In 1865.

Senator Coaklins's Great Speech.

Conkling, before the New York Re.
publican Convention, went all over
the financial history of the United
states His three leading ideas were
l. Congress must not destroy tn,
headway which has been made, anC
launch the country upon new seas o.
confusion aud agitation by wild and
restless attempts to control the laws
of trade. and to create values by leg
islalion. Financial stability and GER
tainty Oh which men can rely and cal.
culatc ahead, must not be exchanged
for exploded theories or novel devices.
Prominence and iixeaness in laws are
often better than philosophy, or even
perfection.
2. We must have frugal, honest
government, an earnest and steady ad-
ministration. aud an honest, constitu.
tional currency. with q public credit
kept free and nutarnished, and pub
lie treasury defended against unbound.
ed claims and against all schemes OF
plunderers and spectators.
s. We must have peace and order
and protection. full aud equal before
the law, for the rights of all men eve.
rvwhere, North and South.
On fiat money, he had this to say:
The bonds and legal tender notes
were issued 10 save the nations life.
and now it is proposed, in violation of
the laws aud the faith of the Ameri-
eau people, to repudiate and depre-
ciate both. Ii is proposed to uproot
our whole financial system, when its
worst evils have been overpassed TO
overthrow the banks and TO set shift
ing Congressional majorities, caucus
es, and coalitions to printing paper
promises or ''iiat money as much and
as often as they please. Such action
would unsettle values, would initiate
and debase the currency, would cheat
labor of its just wages, would breed
corruption and gambling speculation !;
would battle all calculations of bust
ness, and make trade worse than
rafile-a rattle in which honest indus
try. not shrewd capital, would be the
heaviest. sorriest sufferer.
The Republican party is against it,
and one of its missions is to manage
to final success aud relief the ugly fl
nsncial legacy of a war which it did
not Mako war in which every Re-
publican in every State aud on every
spot was on his country's side.

publicans that they, the fiat iinanciers,

it! One of these dry gcods-box whit
tiers though, that the day the govern
ment resumed, sll the grcenbacks in
the country would be immediately pre-
scented for gold payment. Wichita has
five thousand people, and because they
must all die some day, it would be
just as reasonable for the undertaken
to keep full five thousand collins on

demand. Secured as our greenbackf

for the Republicans. Pitkin the can
