THE UTILITY OF THE INDLIN.

It is one Of the boasts of
British rule in Canada and
the Northwest that the abort
gines have been generally
we'll treated and allowed to
develop according to their own
notions and opportunities.
The consequence has been a
remarkable preservation of
the old historical tribes
throughout the Dominion. The
Micmacs are still strong in
Nova Scotia; the Abnakis
hold their own in New Brun-
swick; there are deep traces
of the gentle and faithful
Hurons in Quebeck; Ontario
has thousands of Iroquois and
Algonquins within her Dor
ders. while Keewattin, Mar
itoba, the Saskatchewan val
ley, the Rocky Mountain re-
gion and Columbia are the
homes of tribes quite too num-
erous to mention. All this is
gratifying enough, hut what
is really remarkable is the
vitality Of the Indian tribes
under the adverse circumstan-
ces in which they have always
been placed by the American
policy.
Notwithstanding all the in
justice and cruelty they have
endured from this cause, we
are assured by a writer that
they have not appreciably d.
minished in number during
the past hundred years. It
seems to be a fallacy that the
American aborigines ever ex-
ceeded the figures Of 100000,
and that is still about their
number within the limits Of
the United States, Montcalm's

THE FOREIGN TITLE.

THE FOREIGN TITLE.
There never has been the least
moral doubt that when Kellogg
signed what is known as the second
set of certificates for electors of
Louisiana, to correct the errors
which rendered the first set WORTH
less, he knew that several names
were forged to that paper, if he
was not directly a party to the for
gerry:
Everybody knows now that the
date of the certificates was fabri-
Gated to correspond with the rcject>
ed original, which Returning Board
Anderson had carried to Washing
ton, and which Mr.. Ferry, President
pro teepore Of the Senate, had told
him was irregular in form and there
fore invalid. It has already been
proven that Anderson opened this
ce:tifice to in Washington, where
he consulted with the Republican
chiefs as to the exact form, and
then hurried back to New Orleans
to procure the papers upon which
the Electoral Commission acted
finally. A. 5. Levisee swore be-
fore the Potter Committee that his
signature to the second set was a
palpable forgery, and Kelly, the
colored man, who was Kellogg's
messenger at the time, and had
charge Of the room were the for~
geries were perpetrated, recently
swore that to his knowledge the
name of Oscar Jofrion was also
forged.
When the Potter Committee
were at New Orleans ten days ago,
diligent inquiry was made for
others Of the Hayes electors about
whose signatures there is also
disrust. Yet additional testimony
on this point is not necessary, and
the case would not be strengthened
if every name to the second certiG-
cate was shown to have been for>
ged. Levisee, who now holds the
Office of sub-revenue agent in San
Francisco, and was probably asa
signed to that remote service so as
to be out of the way, has establish
ed one forgery in his own person,
and Kelly has proved another.
The difference between the two
certificates from Louisiana is that
the first pretended to verify a
fraudulent result of the election for
President by genuine signatures,
while the second repeats the fraud
ulent attestation by forged sigma,
lures; and this second paper was
the one adopted by the Commission
as the means of declaring Hayes
President. So that the astounding
fact will go into history that the
eight electoral votes of Louisiana
were in the first instance stolen bv
conspiracy and fraud-and in the
second instance, that the certificate
declaring this result, being vitiated
by barefaced forgery, was yet SOL
emily adjudicated as valid, because
the eight-by-seven Commission de-
termined that they would not go
behind the face Of the forged pa
per-!
Honest thinking men may be de-
luded or confused by conflict of
testimony in regard to the vote of
Louisiana, based upon the stories
