If A. J. High had been confirmed Indian
Agent at Lenihi, Idaho, there would have
been no Bannock war there now. The
whole power of the republican regency of
this state was used in Washington to defeat
him, with the help of a few sabsded Meth
odists from Monroe, and a Methodist minis
ter from Whitewater was appointed in his
place. This man has stolen the Bannocks
annuties, and an Indian war in Idaho is
the result. Some twenty whites have al
ready been killed and a large amount of
property destroyed. The action of Boss
Reyes, the republican delegation n con-
gres and portion of the members of the
Methodist church in Monroe. was the pri-
NAL cause of all these murders The blood
of the innocent is upon their garments
and for them the humble Nazarine died in
vain.-Jeferson Banner.
Won't Boss Keyes, the republican
delegation in congress, and those
Methodists who opposed High be
sorry when they reflect that they are
responsible for all the Indian difficult
ties? 1t is pity that something was
not known about this before, and that
the Banner never impaired this valua
bic information as to Highs superior
qualifications, until it was too late.
But, seriously, the Banner has been
playing off huge joke on its friend
High, or its readers, we cannot tell
which.
The Milwaukee News copies from
the Banner it's notice OF High, and in
the same issue appears the following:
Jefferson wants gas works. There are
too many gas bags in little Jefferson 20
think of starting works, there mi ght be an
explosion.
Whether the above was penned af-
ter reading the Banners article, and
was intended as comment thereon we
cannot say, but such undoubtedly is
the fact.

Petered Out.

The Potter Investigation has SO
far amounted to nothing, and the
Democrats bid fair to come out of
the little end of the horn. After
having first voted down the propo-
sition that the title of President
Hayes cannot be attacked by this
congress for any fraud in the cam
vass of 1876, they have now taken
the back track and declared that the
question was finally settled by the
last congress, and cannot now be
legally re-opened. The vote on
this resolution was 2l5 ayes to FL
nays. There can be no doubt that
the original programme of the
Democrats contemplated the GUST
ing of Hayes and the installation of
Tilden, and it is by no means GER
tain that such is not the intention
now; their pretence to the contrary
being only for effect upon the fall
elections. 1t is to be supposed that
there will be less interest taken
by Democrats now in the Potter
business than there was when the
declared purpose was to turn Hayes
out and put Tilden in. Our friend
of the Democrat will not tear his
neither garment any more, now that
he no longer sees any chance for
obtaining the post-office. This
will be the effect generally upon
Democrats who, like him, expected
to get a share of the loaves and
fishes.

The Sherman Letter.

Democrats seem to attach great i'm
portance to the letter of John Sherman
said to have been written to Weber
and Anderson. The Potter commit.
tee evidently considered it a trump
card, but somehow has failed to pro-
duce the original letter, or to prove
it's existence. Anderson has sworn to
what rurports to be copy of the let
ter. but when pressed closely admitted
that he made the copy from his recol
lection of the contents as stated by
Weber. This is the document referred
to:
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 90, lS76-Messrs. D.
A. Weber and James Anderson. Gentle
men: Your noe of even date has Just
been received. Neither Mr.. Hayes, myself,
the gentlemen who accompany me, nor the
country at large can ever forget the obliga-
tons under which you will have placed US,
should you stand firm in the position you
have taken. From long and intimate
acquaintance with Gov. Hayes l am justi-
fed in assuming the responsibility for
promises made, and will guarantee that
you Will be provided for as soon after the
4th Of March as may be practicable, and in
such manner as will enable you both TO
leave Louisiana should you deem it nee es
sary. JOHN SHERMAN.
On the assumption that this letter is
genuine, what is its significance? 1t
must be borne in mind that the days
in which it was written were perilous
ones in Louisiana. This is proved by
the fact, if by nothing else, that Weber
one Of the men to whom it was ad
dressed, was murdered in East Fell
ciana soon after the return of the
election was made. Men passing
through such an ordeal may we'll be
supposed to stand in need Of assuring
words of support and reward for stand
ing up firmly for right and justice.
They were literally facing terror and
death. What does the letter say!
Why. that the services of these men
will not be forgotten by the persons
indicated, nor by the country, in the
position which it was assumed they
had taken, and that they would be re
warded by mir. Hayes. The only
chance for doubt lies in the under
standing as to what position Webe
and Anderson had taken Was it al
honorable or dishonorable one? Tn
fact Of assurance of grateful remem
brance by the country would seem t.
indicate that it was understood to b
an honorable and patriotic one.

declaration disavcwing any intention to
Dust Hayes by the Mexican style of
revolution. The fact is the Potter
investigation has thus far revealed
nothing that is either new or astound.
ing except Two facts-that the Tilden-
ties actually attempted to bride Hayes
Presidential Elector in Louisiana, and
thst Tilden's agents tried to tamper
with the cauvassing of the returns in
Florida by offers of money. In other
words, some of the contents of Tilden's
"barT" have been brought to the light
of day.
Inter Ocean: Do the Republicans
OF this country believe that the results
OF the War were a credit to Our Union
soldiers.
If they do, let them say SO when
they are called upon to crystalize their
belief in platform.
Do they think that the rebellion was
a dlscredit to those who took part in it?
If SO, let them say that in the same
way.
Do they believe that the nation is
supreme, and that State sovereignty,
so-ca!led, is dangerous heresy?
If they do, why should they not
speak out upon the subject?
Do they think local self-government
as understood and advocated by the
Democratic party, is but another way
OF insisting upon the right of secession
and disunion, and that all persons,
without regard to position or profess
ION who indorse it or commend it are
enemies Of Unionism and Republican,
ism
lfsuch is their belief, in the name
of all that is manly. let them have
sand enough in their gizzards to
declare the fact boldly and positively.
The blast that will awake Repubi-
cans from their indifference. like the
notes Of a bugle, is one that sounds an
onset, not retreat; a charge and not
q surrender.
Chicago Times: It is a mistake,
however. to suppose that the currency
question is practically settled, and out
OF politics. The sreenback agitators
are as busy as they ever were, and
they expect TO win yet. They do not air
their theories 10 the newspapers as
much as they once did, but they are
lndustrlously organizing clubs and cir
culatlng documents, and they have
proved strong enough to dictate the
money planks of most of the recen,
party platforms. At the meeting of
the league in Milwaukee, the secretary
Hon. I. NJ. Nichol, stated that the
greenbackers had 3,763 clubs organiz-
ed In the country. The number of
these clubs is constantly increasing,
and they are untiring ia their efforts
to disseminate their doctrines. They
are now represented in congress by
such men as Kelley. Buckner, Ewing.
and Voorhees,, and they mean to have
majority in the next congress. They
are not yet strong enough to succeed
as separate party, but they are strong
enough to dictate the platforms and
candidates of other political parties.
They hold. or think they hold.
the balance of power in more
than one western state, and they have
made politicians believe that party
can win with their help and not with
out There is real danger. therefore,
that they will control the next con
sress. If they do they will force one
of the other parties to nominate
greenbacker for President in 1880,
and in all probability elect him. Then
there will be nothing to prevent the
consummation of their widest paper
money schemes.

THE fire-eating- glve-me- Tilden
or-give- blood Democrats in AL
exander H. Stephens district who
are dissatisfied with the position
of that gentleman as regards the
proposition to Gust Hayes, are talk
ing of throwing him overheard and
sending some other man to congress
in his place. Mr.. Stephens has
written a letter informing these hot
headed individuals that he has no
idea of submitting to the dictation o
the local managers of the machine
as to what he shall say or do as a
Democrat, but plainly hints that he
considers himself the best Judge of
this matter, and that if the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee under
take to read him out of the party he
will be amply prepared to try titles
before the people of his district.
THE Florida investigating COM
mittee unearthed a few facts unpal-
atablc to the Democrats, and among
others brought to light one bearing
unfavorably upon Manton Marble,
late editor of the New York World.
That paper was during the elector-
al muddle in 1876, and is now, the
leading Democratic paper in the
country, and Marble was very Off
cious in arranging things for the
Democracy, the proof showing that
he tried desperately to influence the
members of the State Canvassing
Board of Florida. To one member
of that Board Mr.. Marble slyly re-
marked that if he "did right" he
would not "die poor" Wasn't
that profered bribe? This fact
was given in testimony before that
portion of the Potter committee
which has been recently s'investiga-
ting" in florida. Now if one of the
Republican "visiting statesmen
had dropped such a remark under
such circumstances, what a hula
baloo the New York World and
the Democrats in Congress would
make about it.
