Chicago Times, 10th.
Drifting Goose and his people are still
incensolable over the loss of their homes in
the James river valley. A supplemental
report from Lieut.. James M. Burns was
received at Sheridan's headquarters on
yesterday. It is a. follows:
1 have the honor to report that the In.
dams belonging to Drifting Gooee's band
who were on the James river left that point
for the Grow creek agency on Tuesday.
They stated that there going to that agency
was not to be understood % abandoning
their claims to their homes, but simply 10
await q decision from proper authority, and
90 l notified the settlers. An Indian who
left the Grow creek agency on the 7th in
formed me that Drifting Goose was then 1t
Red Cloud agency and that he and all his
tribe intended to return to the james river
as soon as he got back from there. Ifesr il
these Indians return and the whites modest
them, as they threaten to do, that there will
be severe trouble. The Indians who were
there when | arrived were very bitter to.
ward the whites who have robbed them; &c
deep-seated is their hatred for these people
that I found it necessary for me to conceal
my feelings in regard to their treatment.
honestly believe that if l had given them
the least encouragement, BY word or act,
they would have scalped the last scoundrel'
Before l left they were entirely way from
the settlement. There is no danger now
and no necessity for troops; but should
they return troops will have to be sent
again to preserve the peace.

Senator Pendleton, OF Ohio, has in.

Senate, giving the members of the Pres.
idcnt Cabinet seats on the floor OF the
House. A similar position is occupied
by the British Ministry. Whether the
Senators proposition would be an i'm.
Provement on the present sytem, we
are unable TO say. II none but good
men were made Cabinet Ministers. IL
might work well enough, but when such
fellows hs Bclknap, Robinson. etc, get
there, It would be better for morality
and the Union that they be kept out Of
doors not allowed TO contamiuate the
Halls Of Congress.
Mr.. Pcndlcton. in addressing the
Senate on the subject, among other
things. said:
THE parliamentary history Of Eng.
land Is the chief glory of the Anglo.
saxon race. IL Il the history OF free.
dom. the history of the amelioration Of
the evils Of barbarism and the substitu.
ton Of the blessings Of the greatest lit.
eriy and the least law. IL il the history
OF Magma Charia, the petition rights,
the bill Of rights, the great remon.
STRANGE, the habeds oorput, the statutes Of
treason, the extention of suffrage. Ii is
the history Of Straiford beheaded. Of
Clarendon banished, Of Dauby impris.
oned, of Oxford committed TO the tower.
Of Bolinbroke and Ormond attainted. Of
Butte disgraced, of North driven from
power. IL is the history of Somers aud
Russell and Bolingbroke and Walpole
and Townshend and Chatham and Fox
and Burke and Pitt and Sheridan and
Canning and Brougham and Peel. Glad.
stone and Bright and Disraeli. 1t is the
history Of those immortal victories in
the great struggle Of liberty against pre-
rogative, Of the rights of the individual
against the power of the community,
whose glories will shine rcsplendent
with undimmed brilliancy when Cmur
de Lion and the Black Prince and
Marlborough and Wellington will have
been forgotten. Whose heart does not
thrill at the thought of Parliament 3?
And the chief cause Of its transcendent
influence was that IL opened the dark
doors Of ministerial cabinets that it
exposed to broad day the connection of
the crown and commons; that it sub.
-tituted for the hidden corruption which
bought votes the open influence Of in.
telligence, character, information, intel.
lect, argument, and thus stimulated at
once its own and the nations aspira.
ton for larger liberty and purer life.' -

1t is the habit Of Republican speakers
and writers 10 try to distract the public
attention by vigorous denunciation- OF
State Tights, as IL the State. existed

Government which their people united

But State rights are not involved directly
in this controversy. The issue Is one
between a military and civil govern.

assert the right OF the Federal Execu.
tive, no matter on what pretcxt or for
what cause, to keep troops 40 near TO
the polls that they may peTceptibly in.

- neither more nor less than putting
the military above the civil power in the
Government. II is the only revolution
now on foot. The Constitution rccog.
nizes none but the militia. that il, the
troops of the States, the people them.
selves in fact. as the force on which the
Executive is Ia rely ito execute the
laws OF the Union, suppress insurrec-
ton and rcpel invasion" In no part
of the supreme law Is a warrant to- be
found for the Executive to employ the
army TO enforce the laws in n time of
peace. On the contrary IL authorizes
him to employ the militia, and that
alone. But the Republican claim ia
that unless the army il so uged, and
used at the polls, too, the Federal Gov.
ernment is shorn Of its power and re.
belliou is liable TO be reinaugurated at
any time. There is no sense or reason
in this style of talk. What must now
be accomplished is the suborlination of
military power to civil sovereignty.
Those who resist that step, only made
the more necessary because resisted,
should in common honesty lower their
Republican pretensions and retire TO
obscurity.

A YOUNG woman went 10 live in Vanc.

her, and arrangements were made for
an elopement, on Sunday night Of last
week. At midnight he placed ladder
against her house, and climbed to her
window. She raised the sash, disclos.

for the journey. At that point several
shots startled the pair, and they saw the
physicians wife firing from the foot of
the ladder. The young woman lodged
