rotary Sehuiz rs those who dislike
him, it mnsl be admitted by all that
his management OF the present
| difficulties wiihIhe Ute Indians has
| been admirable, aud successful, SO far
as results Gun NOW be estimated. III
was no small job 10 induce The saw
ages to give up those of Their number
A. cuscd Of crime, and 70 prevail upon
them TO surrender ti!eir broad rcser-
vatiou ind hunting grounds, held ~
com,nOn, for leo acres apicce 70 Dp
held in severalty, and npon whlcll
| they must settle downtu tiIiinS the
soil for a living. Bntthis, III sub
stance and IN bi'icf, is What theysIave
agreed TO. This is the first settle
ment with any tribe without giving
them a reservation IN the oil way
but all the chiefs now here believe
the terms win bepromptly acreptcd.
They are TO have. in nditlion lOlhe
! 100 acres OF land each, annuitics snilo
as. now, amounting 10 al anOus
| $4,000 per year 10 be divided among
them. Thc territory to be snfreiI-
dered by the lnuians contains about
half theaipa OF tie six New Englap'l
States. Some Of it contains vast lhili-
eral deposits and some fit is goot
grazing ground Probably tile ieser-
walton system will be hereafter aUand-
oned blythe Goyernment In dcaiihg

Try can be kept y wilderness 70 fnrll-

Luround such reservations.
The decision ofilie Supreme Court
in TIE cases involving tho Consli''I-
ltionality Of the Federal election laws
was anticipated, and therefore sur-
priscs nobody. The Court aS at pres
ent constituted can be relied .upei' TO
sustain any ihquiiy Of tile Radical
4 party. The Supervisors aud Marshais
law being thus declared Consiiiii-i
tional, Congress will at once pass q
deficiency 5il covering the cost OF
these officers in last years election,
according TO the returns made by the
Attorney General. Tnere may be
| some protests on the Democratic side.
bui The Democratic policy is to pass
Iall appropriations necessary 70 me
/ execution OF even bad laws, II tlih
party IL not strong enough to repeal
lhem, and If ON proper trial the GU
prcme Court declares them 70 hc
| constitutional. Tie appeal will DC
! 10 the people, TO authorize and effect
the repeal OF these laws Al the next
/ election. There is, however, 10 be an
effort to modify these laws by limit
ing the number OF Marshals, curiailr
ing their powers Of arrest and iiincr
OF service.
Tho Inter. Oceanic Canal project
has been live topic in Washington
the last week The presence here OF
Dc Lcsscps and Captain Eads, both
lof whom appeared to give the views
of Congress, occasioned new interest
lin the scheme, or schemes, I should
say, as each of these distinguished
gentlemen has an entirely different
: plan. De Lcsseps proposes TO cut a
: canal through the lsthmus from Ocean
/ to Ocean, or from the Pacific Ocean
. to the Caribbean Sea, whose waters
are OH level with each other. This
would neccssilale huge tunael
through the range OF mountains
Which constitute tho back bona
4 OF the Isihmus. Captain
Eads proposes an immense truck way
! with hosting machinery at each end,
!. by which vessels and their cargoes
) NAV be lifted out OF The WAFER, taken
4 across the land and let down agaii !.
s His theory is that this would cosG
less than the canal and ensure greater
speed. But I think the preponder-
ance Of sentiment favurs the canal II
4 rcan be constructed under American
u control, in accordance with The "Mon-
roe doctrine about which we have
heard SO much. Count DO Lesseps
J. gives his adhesion tothisf doctrine
and feels confident Of Obtaining all
/, the financial aid required, .
II The Republicans here stuck TO their
purpose TO make bitter partisan
}. question of the Fiiz John Porter case
chiefly because ihcy regarl thai as
E the only chance they will have this
J, session 1, fire off their mouths on the
T old sectional issues. A caucus OF
Republican senator's the other morn
). ing decided TO keepit up aud mak,
the most OF it. This exhibits depll
A of party degradation that has never
= before been displayed IN the Senate
ofihe United States. If such caucus
2. decision had been reached on legil
innate partisan Issue, some excuse
n might be offered ior 1t; but for Sen
= ators who are acting as grave judge
to decide all issue OF individual right
y. involving more than life itself to !
soldier Of the Republic, is simpl,
q INDUSTRIOUS. Ii Is notice 10 the iiatio,
thai The siatesmaDship has fed iron
the uninolity Of tie Senate,Annd ;ha
U. Justice has no claims which partisan
senator is bound to respect. M
