White River Massacre Investigation.

The Committee on Indian Affairs in the House
Of Representatives are engaged at Washington
IN investigating the cause of the Ute outbreak
at the White River Agency in Colorado. Gen.
Adams was the first witness examined. He
simply told the story of his personal connec-
ton with the Indian troubles-a story which
has already been often told in the newspapers.
1t comprised his appointment by Mr..
Schurz as Special Agent of the
Indian Bureau last fall, while MIR.
Schurz was in Colorado At that time
Adams was an employee in the Postoffice De-
partment. He went to Los Pinos, and was con-
versant with the incidents of the Thornburgh
fight and the Meeker massacre. He thinks
Meeker was largely to blame for those calam-
tiles. He was a cranky old man, with sell no.
tlons, and frequently embroiled himself in
quarrels. On one occasion two young men
went out into the prairie and set the grass on
fire, with the intent to scare Meeker. The
latter at once sent for soldiers. These came
and Ihornburghs Inflated expedition was the
result. The Indians became very much
alarmed. In one of the subsequent quarrels
between them and Meeker he met his death.
Adams told his story from beginning to close
with few Interruptions. He offered no opin-
ions on the situation, nor was he asked to. He
is knoWn to be firm friend of Mr. Schurz
Gen. Clinton B. Fisk, in his testimony before
the House Committee on Indian Affairs. ar
raigned the Indian Bureau for incompe-
tency, and charged it with responsibility
for the Ute revolt. Among the reasons
assigned by him for the rebellion of that
tribe was that they were cheated out of
their lands; that the Government failed to
pay them their annuity; that from 1876 to
1878 supplies were not furnished them: that
the sales of arms and ammunition on the White
River reservation had been forbidden, and that
Agent Meeker was an injudicious and unfit
man. Commissioner Hayt denied many of the
Generals assertions, and attributed the abuses
in the service to his predecessor in office.

The situation at Augusta was virtually I'M
changed on the 14th. The Legislature met at
the usual hour, the Republicans remaining
away. The Bribery Committee met,
but transacted little business. The
Election Committee reported in favor
of unseating Dunnell, Republican member
ocrat, on the ground that Dunnell had but tive
majority, and three men at least voted for him
who had no right to do so Action on the re-
port was postponed. <

ONE clergyman at least is neither ashamed
nor afraid to speak up for the much derided
and too often neglected contribution box.
The son of the late DR.. Forbes Winslow is
the vicar of st. Leonards, England, and in
sermon recently delivered said to his con-
gregation: "When the aims bag is passed
to you you look at it as an unwelcome ana
impertinent intrusion upon your devotions,
as an object rather of speculative curiosity
than of practical import, and you pass it
with an air of languid, supercilious inliffer
ence, down row of equally we'll dressed
and equally languid worshippers,
who do not so much as contribute one far
thing apiece to the service of Almighty God.
Shame upon you. Would to God that l
could raise the blush of humiliation to your
cheeks, that could goad you out of your
Indifference, that l could sting you to
proper sense of your indescribable and con-
temptibe meanness"

Oddities of Selfishness,


More amusing are the strange fancies that
some persons have as to what overworked men
NAV be asked to do for them. In the very
thick of the American war, there came to
President Lincoln an Illinois farmer in great
state of excitement about pair of horses that
one of Lncoln's generals had requisitoned for
the war The owner was Of course entitled to
compensation, but somehow it had not come.
Going to the President he told him his story,
and was rather chagrined to be told that it did
not lie with him to pay the money. Thea, says
the farmer, will you undertake to write to the
genera and see thai the matter is settled pro
perry! Poor Lincoln, who never wanted story
to help him in an emergency, was ready for
his visitor. "When l was a rail-splitter, he
said, ''there lived near us smart young fel-
low, the captain of Mississippi boat, who
could steer vessel over the rapids with Won

THE BLACK LIST.

Here is the list in black letters of the men
who, by an unhappy accident being i'll
important official positions, deliberately
abused their trust, perverted the laws which
it was their sworn duty to execute justly and
impartially according to their spirit and in
tent, who sought by wicked trickery to
thwart the will Of the people as expressed at
the polls and who not only brought dis
grace upon themselves but smirched the
fair fame of the State whose officials they
unfortunately were. Their names and places
should be known of all men that they
may receive the just punishment Of being
regarded as infamous by all good citizens
and that the rising generation may learn by
their example the folly of being wicked.
To this list is appended the names of such
other men as have taken offices to which
they knew they were not elected, and who
become equally guilty by taking advantage
of the vile conduct of the original malefac
