Tie House Making Good Progress
NTH the Appropriation Bill.
WAsHrNGToN, + ebruary II, l879.-The
House did good stroke of business 20
day. 1t passed the River and Harbor
bill, which foots up $4,000, 900 l4ss than
last year the General Deficiency bill
and the Arrearags of Pensions bill, all
without debate 1t will probably pass
the Sundry Civil bill in the same way
this week, and will have left then only
the Legislative bills which will probably
run into next week. To-day's work
makes au extra session unnecessary aud
highly improbable.

The Senate Committee on Agriculture

agreed that the interests of the cattle
trade of this country demanded that
PROMPT investigation of the subject

The commit ee, which Il composed OF
Senators Paddock, af Nebraska; Sharon,
of Nevada; Hoar, of NJ assac ch husetts; g or
don, of Georgia, and Davis, Of West Vir-
ginia, is EN- barrassed by the short time
remaining OF the session In whi ch to pro-
secute their inquiry; but it is probosed to
nave the most emine and reliable au-
thorities In cattle disease in the Unitsd
States summoned az witnesses. Among
them are Professor Law, of New York

The Ts-risivy Undefended and Attended

The Ts-ristvy Undefended and Attended
by the Federal Goeenment.
SAN FnAEcIsco, Feb. II, 1870.
The situation in Alaska Il regarded as
crit cal, and the action Of the authorities
in leving the territory underfended Is
much commented on. The Bulletin says
it is a strikink fact that while the federal
government receives sufficient income
from Alrska to pay four per cent on the
original purchase mon-y, that territory
has no prvtector,n no authority nor author
lied government and the few Inhabitants
are to-day Ia immediate peril ofextrrm IL
alton, aud have appealed to the British
authorities at Victoria for protection.
The dealings Of the federal govern
ment with this territory are without pre-
cedent. 1t cannot be said that it is ne
elected on account Of its worthlessness,
because agents of the government have
shown its natural wealth to be great
Some months ago the only company of
soldiers stationed at Sitka was with
drawn, since which time there has been
little more than shadow of self-govern-
ment. The Indians, understanding the
81 udtioIi, HdNc lol SpaIlt lltDc DtcIl Illtlld-
cling settlers, and at last accounts had
begun their work Of destruction.
The Alta says :-"Years ago nothing
would do but We must purchase Alaska
Our government purchased 10 and did
various things to induce it, settlement,
but all at once, in a tit of contemplate
economy, abandoned the people to their
fate and the tender mercies of savag.f
who know no mercy-to the very class
who put to death the officers, crew aud
| passengers of the steamer Wright some
years ago. The people of Sitka have beer
left unguarded, unprotected, apparently
uncared for, 10y the Executive aud Con
gress, and now comes the cry fthe aban
doned American citizens of Alaska FOL
aid, hoping for none from our own gov
ernment. Our nation is stamped with
the disgrace before the civilized world
of having our psople apply to the rep
resentatlves of foreign government fol
protection, and the reasons ri ven for thu
