be made by the Northern Pacific CON-

THE PETITION.

We, the undersigned citizens of Morrison
county, State of Minnesota, in view of the
fact that our neighbors and friends, the Mile
Lacs Band of Chippewa Indians, are in trou-
BILE and have appealed to us for aid and COM
fort, and remembering their kindness to US in
the summer of 1862, when Hole in-the- Day
was marshaling his hosts to make war upon
US, threatening to deyastate this whole region
Of country, these Mile Lacs Indians said un-
to him "Stay thy hand from shedding the
blood Of the white man. and unto US, "Be
not afraid, for we will be with you and fight
your battles for you;' thus saving our land
from being devastated by a savage foe.
. Therefore, in view of the great debt of graf
itude we owe to the said Indians for thus saw
ing US from destruction in 1852, and for their
uniform good behavior since that time we can
but sympathize with them deeply in their
present distress. - !;
And, believing, as we DO, that an extensive
and deep laid plot has been formed, Including
men Of high auth ority, for the purpose Of tax
ing from them the pine that is on their reser-
vatlon at Mile Lacs, and, whereas, their prin-
cipal hope Of success lies in belieing said In
dians and making the authorities at Wash
ington to believe that said Indians make
practice. Of committing great depredations ap-
on the white settlers adjoining their reserya-
ton, we, as simple act of jus. lice to them,
must say that, from q long acquaintance with
them, them, they are an orderly and inofens i've
people, and that we believe that the reports
that have gone up to the authorities d,
Washington denouncing them in general and
unmeasured terms are II the main false and
without the least foundation in. fact and does
them great Injustice and that they were
ecncoctsd and promulgated by an association
fpine land thieves, solely for mereenary mo.

"Sassalras Neck is conceded to be the
best farming land in Cecil County, and |
think it will comp are ,favorably with any
section of the Pc ninsula. The crop of
corn is larger this ear than for many years
and laborlng hands have been scarce, and
in consequence thei is yet large amount
of corn to husk. 5, lme farmers being in a
hurry to get their CO rn Oft, sold for 46 cts,
but they now wish tn ey had waited a week
longer and got so cts which is now offered.
The general hog-killing commenced last
Monday and during the week there were
killed in Cecilton seventeen hogs that
weighed over 400 eac h. Mr.. J. NJ. Ernest
raised the champion, which tipped the beam
at 5l5. The guess box on the large hog
containing 81, was won by Jacob Raymond
and Geo. Watts, both guessing the exact
weight of the hog.

The PRESIDENTS MESSAGE. = President
HAYES sent his fourth annual message TO
Congress on Monday. 1t is long, compre'
bensiye and considered an able document.
In brief he pays warm tribute to General
Grant and recommends that the office OF
Captain. General of the Army be created
for him. He urges Congress to defend the
inviolability of the Constitutional Amend
ments, and to take measures for the sup
preston of polygamy. He would nave
Congress provide for the government OF
Utah by Governor and Judges appointed
by the President and confirmed by the
Senate, and would make all persons prac'
Using or upholding polygmy ineligible to
vote, sit on juries or hold office in that
Territory. He approves of the workings
of the present Civil Service system, and re-
commends an annual appropriation OF S25,'
900 to defray the expenses OF a Com
mission to devise an efficient system OF
competitive examinations. He would have
each public officer free 20 express his politl-
cal opinions and to use his means for their
advancement, and also have him feel safe
in refusing all demands upon his salary for
political purposes. The first step in the re-
form of the Civil Service he believes must
be "a complete divorce between Congress
and the Executive in the matter of ap
pointments."
The right Of the United States to main
tain supervision over any intereceaniC
canal across the Isthmus of Panama is re
asserted. The President recommends the
further retirement of the legal-tender note
and that the silver coinage law be changed
to make the silver dollar equel as bullion
to the gold dollar. He advises that lane
be allotted to Indians in severalty and tina
they be placed under the protection of thu
laws of the land; that abandoned militar!
posts be sold; that the details of officers t
act as professors of tactics and militar!
science at colleges and universities be mad'
from the retired list instead Of the active
list he calls attention to the discreditahl,
condition of the National defences, anC
points out the necessity for an intermediate
Federal Court of Errors end Appeals.
