LEGAL RIGHTS OF INDIANS.

At last a Judge has been found who
has enough Of humanity in his compost
tion to think that an Indian has some
rights which army officers are bound to
respect, and for the declaration of such
novel opinion in the jurisnrudcnce Of
the United States lie has been charged
with desire to furnish sensation law to
the nation, and the most amusing yells
of disapprobntion nre going up from the
men who made the very laws which
Judge Dundy of the United States Court
in Nebraska has construed to confer
somc legal rights even upon Indians.
Some t:me ago Standing Bear" and a
few of the Ponca Indians, fed from their
territory on account Of a terrible conta-
gion, and were sojourning in the terrific
rics, where they were seized under the
orders of Gen. Cook, and valiantly (?)
carried back towards the Indian terrific
ry, as fitting display of the justice and
heroism which has for many years mark
I'd our Indian policy-we mean, of course,
the policy pursued where the government
catches few unoffending Indiana off to
emselves. In the Territory of Ne
braska writs Of ha6eds corpus were sued
out, and Judge Dundy ordered the dis
charge of the Indians, OH the ground
that Indians are "persona" within the
meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment
to tho Constitution, which says "All
persons born or naturalized in the United
Siates, and subject TO the jurisdiction
thereof, are citizens Of the United States"
and as such possess tho inherent right
of expatriation rs we'll as the moro for
tunate white race, and have the inalien-
able right to life and liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, so long as they
obey laws and do not trespess on forbidden
ground" The decision is an unexpected
one, AID involves very interesting legal
question, which will, we presume, find
its way into the Supreme Court before
long. The prejudice and oppression so
long heaped upon the Indian renders it
difficult fh- him to procure judgment
upon purely legal considerations, but the
Supreme Court may, like Judge Dundy,
surprise the country, by informing it
that the amendments which secured the
rights of citizenship to the negro, also
carried them to tho long-hunted Ked
Man in all of his wiidness. AT least,
military commanders nay be taught that
there is more exalted sphere in which
to seek glory than in useless prosecutions
of unoffending indians.

The Attorney General Is about to in
stitute proceedings for the forfeiture of
the charter Of the Charlotte, Columbia
and Augusta Railroad Company, on the
ground of failure of the Company to
comply with It's charter, which requires a
connection for freights with the South
Carolina Railroad, which the G. G. & A..
r, r. has refused to make even to the
extent of declining to carry any freights
consigned over that Road. The reason
given for the Company is that il owns no
ffeight cara, and has borrowed from the
Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad, which imposed the condition
ihat no ireights Tor or from the s. c. r..
r. should be carried over the G. q. & A.
r. r. There are other interesting minor
points in the case, which, when fully in
stituted, will attract very great public
interest.

Apropos to the vetong mood which
seems to control Mr.. Hayes ut this tir,e,
it may be interesting 20 present the views
of General Zachary Taylor as expressed
on this subject by him during his candi.
lacy for the presidency. When these
sentiments were uttered, the whole coun-
try was jealous of any encroachment up.
on the free institutions of the republic,
and as Gen. Taylor was elected by a
large majority, it may be safely asserted
thai .he sentiments he uttered on the
] exercise of the veto power were in accor-
dance with the views of the people of the
nation e. that time. II Mr.. Hayes real
| ly desires TO return to the ancient moor
ings of our government, he cannot find n
better point to begin at than by practi-
cally adopting the following views of
General Taylor: "The power given by
the Constitution to the Executive to in
terpose his veto Is n high conservative
power; but in my opinion it should new
er be exercised except III case of clear
s'o'otioh WI tHe CONSTITUTION, or mani
fost haste and want of due consideration
by Congress. The personal opinion of
the individual who may happen to occu.
py the Executive Chair ought not to
control the action of Congress upon
questions of domestic policy, nor ought
his objections to be interposed when
questions of Constitutional power have
been settled by the varions departments
of government and acquiesced in by the
people,"

The Proof Of it.

We have repeatedly called the at
tention of our readers to the useful
ness of the sweet potato and its
adaptability for making pork. We
can now write more authoratively
on the subject, tor last Summer we
planted two rows of sweet potatoes
between the orange trees in our
grove, which were four years old and
twenty-five feet apart. We got, in
November, about $50 bushels in
bank. In October we bought two
piney wood pigs for six dollars for
the two, and ted them entirely on the
small refuse potatoes, both boiled and
raw. The result was as follows ::
One pig killed in December made
seven dollars at the price of pork in
this place. The other pig, killed 18th
Jansary' made $1S., in all $40, and

SCENE YESTERDAY THAT En-
.CoURAGED THE AVERAGE
TATKCnNVITTTAN


JACKSONVILLIAN.
To person standing on the outer
end of the railroad wharf on yester
dav afternoon, the scene that was
presented for a few hours, was exhil-
arating, and hopeful for the present
and future of the city. The elegant
steamer St. Johns steamed in gallant
ly, and made her landing. The steam
ship Western Texas followed close by
making her landing at the railroad
wharf, bringing a good freight, and a
full passenger list. The British
steamer Secret from Nassau, steamed
up to her wharf about the same time
presenting her familiar look, and ad-
ding very much to the panorama,
and then came the old favorite steam
er Dictator, with a good passenger
list and receiving a hearty welcome.
Lying by the two wharfs were the
steamers Carrie, taking in freight for
the upper St. Johns, and the Rosa,
taking 10 cotton for Savannah and
the sreamer City Of Dallas, at Bruins
wick, Ga.
The Western Texas encountere d
Sunday, while off Hatteras, sever e
gale from the southeast, and was
obliged to heave to for Is hours, un-
til the storm subsidized. The Texas
will sail tomorrow at noon.-Surs
and Press.
On her return north the Western
Texas was loaded as follows bales of
cotton, $50; barrels of rosin 200;
barrels turpentine, 40; crates of to-
matoes, 444; crates of oranges, $50
boxes of sundry vegetables, So pack
ages, sundries, so.
By the above 1t does seem that
people ought 10 stop croaking and go
to work. The people Of Florida
need courage to try in the various de-
partments of industry. Cotton and
oranges will soon all be shipped but
in few weeks we will be in the
midst of the vegetable season. No
doubt the place of cotton and oran-
ges will then be filled by thousands
of crates, but still there will be many
who have grown to ship who have
not.

immigration.

No one familiar with the history of
the growth of any of the newer west
ern states can fail to be impressed
with the wisdom of the policies that
have been pursued for attracting set
tiers. Commissioners of Immigra.
ton nave beeh almost invariably es-
tablished, and means have been placed
at their disposal, which only Can
render such an office efficient. No
department of State government con-
tributes more to the material improve
ment of the country than that of I'm.
migration. Every owner of loot
of land is interested in its labor, and
his property directly benefited there
by. Every man brought here is an
addition to our pecuniary wealth and
prosperity. Every new settler on a
quarter section OF land enhances the
price Of all the property for miles
around and gives new citizen and
tax payer to the State. What are
millions of acres worth SO long as
they are unsettled and wilderness ?
Not the taxes annually levied upon
them; and it is only the prospect or
hope that some day they will be set
tied and cultivated that makes them
worth this small amount. Destroy
the encouragement to settler upon
them, which can be done IN no way
so effectively as by Withholding in
formation respecting them, and they
are constantly decreasing in value.
Double the population of Florida,
and the expenses of administering
the government would be but slightly

was first class, and everyone who ate
1t said that they had never tasted
better meat We now have an op-
portunity of testing our theories.
This is an advantage we have by llv-
ing in the country, for we can now
practice what we preach. ; We found
that the pigs sometimes refused the
boiled potatoes and preferred the
raw. We humored them in this re-
sheet and changed the diet as they
wished. The potatoes should be
boiled with some salt. Here is llv-
ing for every one in the State for po-
tatoes are easier raised than corn,
give twenty times the return per
acre over corn, and can be grown In
every part of the State. You who

to make living in Florida, put your
self to work and fatten pigs. What
