The proposition to send Republican
stumpers down into Louisiana, is not
popularly fallen in with. Neither Sber-
man or Blaine can find time to attend to
it. Gen. Stewart. L. Woodford, however,
who defended Mrs. Chisholm in the trial
of Gully, in Mississippi, gallantly steps
forward and volunteers to embark in the
canvass, and has actually arrived there in
furtherance of that design. He reached
N. o. on Tuesday last. The Picayune
gives him rather gingerly reception, but
does not exactly welcome him with bloody
hands to hospitable grave. The pro-
gress of Mr.. Woodforl will be watched
with deep interest. The course of South
ern hospitality will, no doubt, be put to
its test, as that course will have its infu-
ence upon public sentiment at the North.
The case will be marked one.

THE INDIANS,

The reports of the Secretary of the In
terror and the Commissioner of Indian At
fairs, setting forth the present state Of our
relations with the Indian tribes on our
territory, the measures taken to advance
their civilization and prosperity, and the
progress already achieved by them will be
found Of more than ordinary interest.
The general conduct of our Indian popula-
tion has been so satisfactory that the oc-
currance Of two disturbances, which re-
suited in bloodshed and destruction of
property, is sll the more to be lamented.

The arrangement made by the Post
master General and the Secretary of the
Treasury for the collection of duty upon

The appropriation for judicial expenses.
which has heretofore been made for the
Department Of Justice in gross, was SUBJ
divided at the last session Of Congress- and
no appropriation whatever was made for
the payment Of the fees of Marshals and
their deputies, either in the service of pro-
cess or for the discharge Of other duties
and since June 30th, these officers have
continued the performance Of their duties
without compensation from the Govern
ment, taking upon themselves the neces-
sary incidental outlays, as well as render
ing their own services. In only few un-
eToidable instances has the proper execu-
ton Of the process Of the United States
failed by reason of the absence of the re-
qulslte appropriation. This course Of Off
elal conduct on the part Of these officers,
highly creditable to their fidelity, was ad-
Eised by the Attorney, General, who in
formed them, however, that they would
necessarily have to rely for their compen-
satlon upon the prospect Of future Ieois-
lstion by Congress. I therefore especisIIv
recommend that immediate approximation
be made by Congress for this purpose.
The act making the principal appropria-
ton for the department Of Justice at pre-
Yious sessions has uniformly contained the
following clause: ''And for defraying the
expenses which may be incurred in the en-
foreement Of the act approved February
29th, 1920, entitled AN act to amend an
act approved May 3Oth, 187O,' entitled
sAn act to enforce the right of citizens Of
the United States to vote in the several
States Of the United States, and for other
purposes, or any act amendatory thereof
Or supplementary thereto"

EDUCATION.


1t is gratifying to learn from the Bu
reau of Education the extent to which ed
ucatiOnal privileges throughout the
United States have been advanced during
the year. No more fundamental respon
sibility rests upon Congress than that o.
devising appropriate measures Offinapcia1
aid to education, supplemental to local &C
tion in the States and Territories, and in
the District of Columbia The wise fore
thought of the founders of our Govern.
ment has not only furnished the basis fol-
the support of our common school systems
of the newer States, but laid the founda-
tions for the maintenance of their univer
sities and agriculture and the mechanic
arts. Measures in accordance with this
traditional policy for the further benefit
of all these interests, and the extension of
the same advantages to every portion of
the country, it is hoped, will receive your
favorable consideration.
NATIONAL LITERATURE.
To preserve and perpetuate the National
literature should be among the foremost
cares of the National legislature. The
library gathered at the Capitol still re-
mains unprovided with any suitable ac-
commodations for its rapidly increasing
stores. Inc magnitude and importance
of the collection, increased as it is by the
deposits made under the law of copy
right, by domestic and foreign exchanges,
and the scientific library of the Smith
sonian institution, call for building ac-
cOmmodations which shall be at once ade-
quate and f1re-proof The location of
such public building, which should pro-
vide for the pressing necessities of the
present, and for the vast increase of the
Nations books in the future, is a matter
which addresses itself to the discretion of
Congress. 1t is earnestly recommended
as measure which should unite all suE
trages, and which should no longer be de-
layed.
WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
The Joint Commission created by the
act of Congress of August I'd, 1876, for the
purpose of supervising and directing the
completion of the Washington National
Monument, of which Commission the
President is a member, has given careful
attention to this subject, and already the
Strengthening Of the foundation has so far
progressed as to insure the entire success
of this part of the work. A massive layer
of masonry has been introduced below
