The partsans of the Returning Board
puuurers and forgers in Louisiana, are
charging that their prosecution is in vio-
lation of the pledge contained in the fol-
lowing resolution which was adopted by
the Democratic Legislature last April
while the recognition of Governor Mich
oils by the Washington Administration,
was undecided
''Desirous of healing the disseusions
which have disturbed the State for wears
past, anxious that the citizens of all pOliti-
cal parties may be free from the teverish
anxietes of political strife, and Join hands
in honestly restoring the prosperity of Lou
isiana, the Nichols Government will dis
countenance any attempt at persecution,
from any quarter, of individuals for past
pc litical conduct"
In the course Of recent debate in the
Louisiana Legislature, Senator Jonas
successfully answered the charge that the
prosecution of the Returning Boarders
who have been indicted, was in violation
of the foregoing resolution. He said:
In his opinion, there was no understand
ing or agreement. or had ever been, which
granted immunity to the late members of
the Returning Board, or exempted them
from prosecution, and that if such agree
ment was made, unauthorized persons had
taken it upon themselves to act. The con-
tractlng perties, no matter now high their
position, If such contract was made had
no authority in the premises. The mpres-
sion was that the resolution of April 20 was
adopted in the spirit Of kindness and concil-
iatiOn, and granted immunity to those in
the State who had committed political of
lenses. Not word was said relative to inn
munity for criminal offenses, and the Legis-
lature had not the power to set aside Justice
or throw the mantle of protection over
criminals. The often Sc committed by the
members of the late Returning Board was a
criminal offense. Was forgery a political
offense? Was it not a crime under the
statutes of the State? Does any one claim
that the late members of the Returning
Board were charged with an offense against
the people OF the United States? Were they
not charged with crime against the peo-
pie Of the State Of Louisiana? Having vio-
lated criminal statute, they were liable to
prosecution exactly the same as if any other
person had violated any other criminal law.

The Pacific railroads, all except the
Northern Pacific, have been selling
their lands at from SO to $l2 pei acre,
and, as might be expected, strongly
disapprove of the recent decision Of
Secretary Schurz which requires that
their remaining lands shall DO sod at
the uniform price of 81 % per acre.
The number OF acres thus thrown open
to actual settlers is estimated as fol-
lows: Central Pacific, IL, To-, 900;
Union Pacific, l0,764 ,94T; Kansas Pa
ciic, 100000; Denver Pacific, | l00,-
000-totaI acres, $3.50, 947. These
lands were withdrawn from market
from twelve to fifteen years ago, and
have been practically closed to actual
settlers ever since. Tie provision OF
the law upon which the Secretary of
the Interior bases his decision is con-
tanned in the third section of the act
of July, 1862, which requires that all
lands inuring to the company and re-
naming undisposed of at the expira-
ton of three years from the final com.
pletion of the road by the company be
sold by presumption at $l25 per acre.
The companies affected propose to con-
test the matter in the courts, but with
the faintest prospect OF success. They
urge that the lands have been mort.
gagged, and of course are substantial
ly tho property of the mortgages.
But the objection avails nothing, the
mortgage being placed subject to the
imposed by Congress in
the original transfer To
have the lands settled up at once, even
if given away, will in the end secure
a better return to the companies than
to allow millions of acres to lie unpro.
iuctive year after year. Pioneer

a SENSIBLE PLAN.

A correspondent of the San Fran
cisco Chronicle proposes . sensible
plan for getting rid of the Chinese in
that State. It is that aliens who can
not become citizens should not be al
lowed to hold property, He says a
law should be passed which would es-
cheat all property conveyed or leased
to an alien to the State; and that not
without its consent shall they engage
in any kind of business, and not with
out first being licensed to do SO in such
manner and on such terms as the Leg
islature may prescribe. This appears
to us to be the most sensible plan yet
proposed, and the only one that could
not at any time be upset by Congress.
When tho Chinese find they cannot
engage in business or handle proper
ty, and must depend solely on labor
for support, their immigration to that
State will discontinue; and similar
laws passed by all the States and
Territories on the Pacific coast would
eventually drive them back to their
mother country, as there is no field for
them in the East. This Territory is
cursed with the obnoxious race, and
such law as the one proposed by the
Chronicle correspondent would cause
them to leave us. The question is
growing in Importance, and the polltl.
cal parties, in making their nomina-
tons for the Legislature, should he
careful to select good and competent
men. To get rid of them sound judg-
ment must be used, and the utmost
care taken not to conflict with the
laws of Congress. The platforms OF
the parties about to make their noml-
nations should contain clause IN
reference to this question, and the
candidates be publicly pledged to sup
port it. We would like to STE Idaho
Territory take the iuitiatory step to-
wards getting rid Of the Mongolians.

THE Virginia City, Montana, Madi
sonian thinks the Bannack Indians
will make an attempt to get back to
the reservation by going in one at a
time and claiming to be good Indians.
1t argues, and sensible, too, that every
Indian going to the reservation should
be disarmed and placed under arrest.
1t advocates the plan of sending them
to the Indian Territory when they all
get in. Such move would be good
one, but we think there is better
way to forever put a stop to Indian
wars III Idaho, and that is to scatter
men OH the outskirts of the reserva-
ton and treat all coming in as actual
hostiles. Two or three hundred vol
untees would do the work in tip-top
shape, and at nominally small ex-
pense to the Government.

reason of the excessive heat of the

the fact that "the suns face is at pres.

remembrance" Nextsummerhe adds,
the spots will begin to reappear and
will go on increasing in number and
expanding in size until they reach
their maximum in 1882, when they
will again almost or quite disappear

A BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS.

hllHOuSu e6n0 o1uhoSn WSA ~ PA0
nounced as about over at the army
headquarters, men are being muir
dered as often as ever. The Indians
have scattered and are running over
the country in bands of from twenty
to seventy-fve warriors, with no ces-
sation of hostilities. As 1t is difficult
to follow them to any advantage with
the small force in the field, they have
particular advantages for carrying on
numbering and pillaging. Large bodies
of soldiers are Stunned, and travellers,
teamsters and prospectors, when found
in small numbers, are inhumanly mas
sacred and horribly mutilated, with no
loss to the brutal 6ends. Just at this
particular time the war is worse than
ever before. 1t has become q ''bush-
whacking" affair, and it is not safe for
a man to go any place in the noun
tains. When it will end no ono can
tell; it may last for months, and it
may not stop till the Bannack tribe
is annihilated by the enraged settlers.
About one hundred and twenty-five
mon are known to have been killed
and the number not reported, it is
thought, would swell the number con-
sidcrably. Many wives have been
made widows with large families to
support; many pioneers who have not
lost their lives have witnessed the des-
truction of their farms and seen their
stock shot down or drove off; after
years of honest toll they are reduced
to poverty through the negligence of
Government that claims to offer pro-
lection to its citizens and subjects.
Depressed and reckless as they are,
who could find fault with them should
they commence war of extermina-
ton? Tie Government has failed to
do its duty; now let the pioneer, who
has all at stake, do his-do it with
and then commence the build
ing of his new home in peace. Idaho
has lost many Of her noblest and most
useful citizens by depending on. the
semblance of military force 10 guard
the exposed districts Had there been
no soldiers at all here when hostil-
ties comc enced and no prospect Of
getting any soon, the war would not
have lasted one month. Volunteers
would have pressed to the front, fought
the Ind ans with their own tactics,
taken no prisoners, aud forever ended
the Banuack war But they could not
be induced to go under Government
officer, not one in a hundred of whom
anything at all about In
dian lighting. The only way to bring
TO a speedy close is for the PEG
pie to take the war in hand and do as
they did in the early history of this
Territory, organize companies indie
pendent of the military and kill the
devils as fast as they can be caught. |
Everything has been tried, and the
only way found to make good Indian
is to kill him.
