to cause trade dollars to he exchanged
at the Treasury and various SUBJ
uries for legal tender dollars of 4l2l
grains silver at par. and to recoin the
same into standard legal tender dollars
as now provided by law The other
proposition was that offered by Mr.. Fort
of Illinois, last week, but which was then
Iiohjected to-, declaring that the legal ten.
der quality of silver dollars of Ala
grains OF standard silver shall be main
tanned and enforced, and that any dis
Ierimination against said silver dollar by
any National Banking Association. by
refusing to receive them and treat then
as legal dollars, shall be deemed a def
ance of the laws of the United States
The resolution further directs the Com
mittee on Banking and Currency to ma
ture ard bring in a bill TO provide for th'
withdrawal of the circulating notes of al
banks so offending. There was yer,

The Modern Iroquois.

Nearly 5000 of the descendants OF the
old Six Nations OF Central New York
are at Forestville. Wis, on government
reservation. The United States agent 10
charge of this reservation reports that
nearly 1000 of these 5000 can read and
write; that they have 20 day and two
manual labor schools; and that they cul-
ttivate their land SO diligently that they
pay all the expenses of their living
They are reported as advancing in church
discipline, growing in temperance and
making rapid progress toward com
lplete civilization. They are not the old
Iroqnois in spirit or courage or adven-
ture; but they may yet play part in
civilization quite as worthy OF their lin
cage as that Of the warriors who burned
and ravaged up and down the Mohawk
Valley duringthe Revolution. One pop
ular delusion respecting them-that they
are rapidly diving 1oat-has been quite
Thoroughly eradicated from the public
mind. If to those of the Six Nations
who are in the reservation weiadd the
