More Arrests.

Deputy u. s. NJ. Fowler, with two or three
supes, came down on Tuesday night and made
more arrests of our citizens. This time It was
Mr.. B. A. Anderson, who is charged with inter-
fering with the election OF q Congressman on the
Cd Of November. Mr.. Rufus Smith, a poor,
hard working man, without dollar, was one of
the victims. Smith IL charged with voting lille
gally. He has to our personal knowledge been q
resident here for several years, and his name
appears on the registration books OF the town, he
having voted at the town election last March.
No one who voted ON election day was more

WASHINGTON LITTER,
WAsu1EeToN. November q. 1850

WASHINGTON, November 20, 1881.
In day or two enters upon Washington scenes
the coming President. The formalities of his
reception were agreed upon, but he has tee-
graphed that he wishes no display. Bands were
TO receive him at the depot, and, either there or
at his house, speech was 10 be wrung from him.
There was TO be no "pariy" in The crowd which
would have welcomed the General, aud probably
none in his speech Of acknowledgment. Indeed,
as / wrote you week age, General Garfelds
friends do not expect him ever to be politician
again. They expect him TO seek earnestly for
that course which will be best for all the people,
and TO walk in that course. 1t is not unlikely
that he will meet here, during the next two or
three weeks, prominent Southern men who have
been urged by his and their friends to he here in
time TO see him.
Five views of the Indian question are presented
just now. The first is that Of the Commissioner
of Indian Affairs, who presents a somewhat
pleasant and hopeful state of things He gives
the official number of Indians who are receiving
education and who are longing for II the num-
Der who are cnltivating farms of their own, and
the number who wish to do SO, &C. He argues
eloquently against The governments injustice to
the indians, and also for change Of policy. I
do not agree with General Sherman in that the
only good Indian is dead Indian but have
no doubt that every Indian who 10 willing to be
educated, or have his children educated, or who
asks for piece of land in his own name, or who
Is already cultIvatng land, IS an Indian whose
tribe has already been thoroughly beaten in actual
warfare by the government The truth is that
this rosy report is made by an official who is
simply acting rs Commissioner of Indian Affairs
for short time, and who has no more actual
knowledge OF the matter than the Maine boy
who lives near the Oldtown Indians. or the New
Yorker who reads Conper's novels. There is q
real need Of some single and direct means Of
dealing with all the Indians, so they will know
tina, the government will do all that it promises,
and 50 that the government can promptly deal
with Indians who wantonly break treaties. The
present system In not good one, and appears
well only when obsequious and ill-informed in
feriors wish annually to make themselves popular
with Secretaries of the Interior who have ideas
without knowledge.
Senatorial contests in Maine, Ohio, Tennessee,
Wisconsin, Massachusetts and Michigan excite
great interest here, where most of the rival cam
didates are known. That in Maine 10 perhaps
most talked over, not only because Of the appear
ance Of the ancient Hamlin In the field, but be-
cause the Speakersliip If the House 10 believed

-'Phe Pensacola Adrance of the 2

-The Pensacola AdUdnce of the oath
inst, charges that the commissions of
United States supervisors of election for
Escambia county, were received prompt
ly and in time by the Republicans APP
pointed for that Office, but the commits
sions for the Democratic supervisors
never reached them, and consequently
there was not a polling place in the coun-
ty on election day which was not under
the control Of a Republican supervisor,
while those gentlemen entitled to act as
supervisors by the Democrats were with
out commissions, and could not act. The
Adcdnce further states that the secretary
of the county executive committee, deter
mined to know why such thing should
have occurred, addressed Judge Woods
upon the subject, and has received an an
swer from the Clerk of the U. S. Court,
at Atlanta, Ca, written at the request of
Judge Woods, saying that commissions
for the Democratic and Republican Super
visors for Escambia county were issued,
according to lists sent for that purpose,
at one and the same time, and forwarded
together to A. r. Meeks, Esq, Jackson

Elections for the State, "whose duty it
was" says the clerk, "to distribute the
commissions to all of the appointees, in
such manner " = as would best an

facilitate its execution" Why the Dem
ocratic commissions were never afterwards
heard from, while the Republican appoin-

The fact was developed in Chicago that
large quantities of material which is
called g butter" and sold as such on the
market, is really made of lard by pecu-
liar process known only to a few. One
establishment in that city has been doing
a prosperous business for more than a
year, and has trade so extensive that
shipments are made to England. No
effort whatever is made at concealment.
The manufacturer is frank about it, and
says the compound is no more injurious
than pork. A large number of restaurants
are said to be using it as butter, and the
report is that other manufactures are
to be opened coon.

Mr.. Editor some four or five months ago
the talk was that there was to be nice carriage
road constructed from this city to Lake jackson.
A tract Of land was to be purchased on the banks
OF the lake and laid off into walks and drives
and ornamented with all kinds of fruit and orna-
mental trees, &c. A nice little steamer was to
be put in the lake for pleasure-seekers and tour
lists, and, in Short every comfort and convenience
were TO be made, so that our citizens would not
have to run of North every year TO luxuriate
during the summer months. OF late / have
heard nothing said in regard to it. Was it only
talk! The enterprise ought not to have failed
The road, everybody must admit, is greatly
needed. blush to say it-there is not decent
carriage road in or around the city. This sounds
bad for the capital of State and the patriotism
of its inhabitants.
The proposed carriage road would increase
the value Of the lands through which it would
pass at least IS per cent and it seems 10 me that
the owners of the real estate stand greatly in
their own lIghi by not doing all IN their power
TO aid the enterprise.
Have not our citizens enterprise and patriotism
enough to have at least one respectable carriage

to the stockholders of the " Lake Jackson Asso-

Jackson, terminating at suitably improved plea

well received by our people, the necessary capital
stock was promptly subscribed, and everything
seemed 10 point to tile early and successful com
