Absnrd InsinnatIons.

Senator b. H. Hill aud his defenders appear
to have abandoned that genteman's original
theory, to the effect that Senator Kellogg was
party to tho numerous unsavory scandals
with which his name has been connected, and
they now intimate that Senator Gordon and
other regular Georgia Democrats were the
primo instigators of the matter. Mr.. Hill and
his friends are making serious mietake in at
tempting to connect the name of Senator Cor
don with this affair. They aliege that Cor
doh's design is to cripple and impair his In
huence at home because OF the stand he took
in favor of the confirmation Of Census Super
visor Simmons, aud With view to crushing
bm out us the leader of the so.caled Iude-
pendent party in Georgia. While THE Ma
TioNAL REPUBLICAN has never admired Mr.
Gordon, whom IL recognizes as bitter Dcmo-
cratic partisan yet 1t has always been ready
to accord him credit for being an open and
manly foe, occupying altogether too elevated
plane to engage in q conspiracy against Mr..
Hin or anyone else Mr.. Hill and his friends
will, sooner or later, discover that the more
manly is the better way, and that it is bad pol
icy to attempt to drag dsinterosted parties into
such disgraCeGul scandals.

BosToN, MASS, March 2l.-Fire was discov-

of the Boston Journal, 262 Washington, nearly

In the fifth or upper story of the building, and
the fire, which Ia thought to have originated
in the press-room, was carried to the top of the

who were at work were forced to take hur-

the elevator wall, made quick Roadway. The

The Journal composing.room Is sadly damaged
by both fire and water, while in the editorial

The Removal of the Poncas.

The Senate committee on the removal of
the Poncas ON Saturday examined Colonel Il.
j. Brooks, chief clerk of the Indian Bureau.
lie produced numerous accounts and records
on file in the Department, and based his test-
mony wholly upon them, us he camo into
office after the transactions took place. In
reply to questions why the Indian Office re-
moved the Poncas to the Indian Territory in
the face Of treaty stipnlations guaranteeing
to them their Dakota reservation, he showed
that tho Department recommended their re-
mOval to the Omaha reservation, where they
wished to go, aud that Congress thereupOu
directed their removal to the Indian Terri
tory, conditioned upon their CONSENT and he
next explained that the Departments felt
obliged TO obey the law, although Ia contra
ycntion of treaty stipuatiohS, because the
United States Supreme Court in the Cherokee
tobacco case II. Wallace, p. 6l6l had decided
that d treaty nIuy be superseded by act of
Congress, and that an act Of Congress of
date subsequent to treaty must prevail as
If tho treaty were not an element to be con.
sdered."
Being then asked whether the Poncas' con.
sent was given, he replied: Hardly such con.

Queston-By what authority of law, then,
were tho Poncas taken to the Indian Terri
tory? Answer-If any, under the general au-
thorty residing in the President or the Gov
ornment as the guardian of the Indians and

Dakota had been given to the Sioux, and that
Congress had made an appropriation for their
