The Question OF 6zae Presidential
Inability


WASHINGTON, August 8.-Tlle question
Of the Presidents inability to perform the
Executive duties Isas been brought up al
ready in practical form in the Navy De-
partment, and, curiolsly enough, through
physical disability overtaking one OF the
most espectable officers of the navy. Capt.
W. D. Whiting, who has been Chief Of
the Bureau Of Navigation since June, 1873,
Is now in the regular order Of things eligible
for promotion through the retirement of
Rear Admiral Brysoa, but Capt. Whiting
has been affected with progressive loss Of
vision and III consequence Of thus physical
disability he cannot now pass the Board Of
Medical Examiners for promotion. He
nlilst therefore be placed on the retired list ;
being placed OH the retired list he must
cease to hold the office OF Chief of the BIZ
rcau Of Navigation, as the law prohibits
absolutely the active employment, except
iii time OF war, Of officers who are on the
retired list. This, therefore, makes d va
cttncY Of great Importance to the head Of
one Of the leading bureaus of the Navy
Department. Under Section 421 of the
Revised Statutes the chiefs of all the bu-
reaus Of The Department Of the Navy are
ID De appointed BY the President. Some
thirty or thirry-five classes Of officers Of
the navy list are to hold their offices for the
term Of four years. AS Captain Whiting
retires his successor must be appointed by
the President. All officer ,lnquestionably
Of admitted ability has already been st1g-
gestea as 4 tit person 70 I'LL the vacancy,

Am OItl-Fas1afoaaeda Campaign.

LIE campaign between the regular Dem
ocrats and the Readiusters, which prom
! ises to be the hottest known III Virginia
since the famous Wise FIourney contest
has been opened. William E.. Cameron
the Readjsstei nominee for Governor, had
an appointment to address the people OF
Henry county, it being County Court day.
john w. Daniel, who received the Demo-
cratic G1beInatorial nomination Il few days
since, hastened to meet Ills appointment
The oratorieai contest was WeIIadyei'tise1l
and the largest crowd ever assembled iii
the county was early upon the court green.
It was about evenly divided been Demo-
Gratis and Readjustcrs. MoOnshine whisky.
fnr which this region Il famous, having
flowed freely, both sides were in splendid
condition by two o'clock, the hour fo,
speaking. Major Daniel led of in speech
of one hours duration. He planted him
fself upon the debt paying platform recent
" adopted BY his party and eloquently de-
Inouneed what he termed the inconsistent
record Of his opponent. He held uD the
Malone party rs repilliationists and rid-
culed the ''unjust and untrue CRY Of the
Readjusters that Virginia is too poor TO
pay herdebts." He spoke at length of the
State $ increasing prosperity, and said she
is amply able to pay her debts, maintain
her free schools and aid internal improve
ments as far as necessary to develop her re-
sources. The Democratic conservative
party is pledged to make a settlement on
this basis, acceptable to creditors and hon
orahe to the Commonwealth. No other
settlement, he said, is consistent with the
honor and with Virgillia's fair name. and
no other settlement can be tolerated by
honest men. He assailed Mallone's record
in the United States Senate, and was par
ticlllarlT bitter upon Gameroa's assertion
thathe would carry Africa into the war. =
Cameron was received with cheers when
he arose to reply. The Readjuster candi-
date is not an orator such as Daniel, and
finds it hard to cope with him on the hust-
0ttG 1i!S oilOAfs LAitb flC Has
led his. subject we'll, and he has Il very
plain, forcible way Of presenting his views.
He admitted bis shortcomings in days past
when he was editor Of the Petersburg In
dea; and a leading fIlnder, but said that was
fourteen years ago when the debt question
and the peoples ability to pay was little
understood He was then in favor Of pay
ing every dollar dtle--is. nov: but he has
changed his ideas as to what amount is
justly due. Cameron s attack. on the Bour-
bon Democracy was bitter, deep and in
cisive He indorsed Mahone's Senatorial
career. He defended the attempt to form
4 coalition with the Republicans, and pre-
dicted that the Lynchbtirg Convention will
act wisely and indorse the Reatljuster tick
ct. he charged the Democracy with block
ing the way to a settlement Of the debt
question, and was particularly severe up
On Governor Holiday for vetoeing the.
Riddleberger bill. He charged bis oppo-
nent with opposition to free schools, ant
declared the Bourbon Democracy is clog

DEAR SIR:-Yours Of the and inst. to

cause Of it not being received sooner. We
are sorry that we did not get your letter in
time SO as 10 have met you all yesterday.
Something must be done III order to put a
stop 70 Indian depredations on horses and
cattle, even If we have to adopt extreme
measures by taking matters in our hands
in a compulsory way. We think the Pie
gins, in charge of Major Young, of the
BIackfoot Agency, are doing the stocklnen
Of this county quite as much damage as
the Northern Indians, and that he Major
Young could do much to stop them from
so doing by not permitting them to leave
their reservation Withouta military escort,
which, we understand, are his instructions
from the Interior Department. We further
think that some action should be taken by.
the stocknen Of CI1oteau and 1IeagIler
counties for the purpose OF securing the
removal of agents who do not discharge
their duties properly. Please let us know
at your earliest convenience what was done.

we arc anxious to cooperate with YOU

In behalf of the stocknon of the Uppe
Teton.

Vigorous as are these letters III tone. thew
are only fair eNponents Of the universal
sentiment that prevails among the stock
men OF Norther;l Montana where such Sc
! rious losses have been incurred from pred
atory red men. Petitions, remonstrances
and claims for damages receiving no attcn-
tion from the Government, stockmell are
| left to their own resources. 1t is NOT to be
| supposed that they can stand idly BY and
witness the destruction of their property
by wanton savages with any more compla-
ceucy than a merchant would evince at
seeing his shelves stripped Of their wares
by the same or other robbers. II is true
that some military commandant has made
an obscure requestto the effect that parties
suffering losses in horses. and cattle from
Indians should report the same, together
with all the incidents attendant theron,
the name OF the tribe committing the
depredations, the chief or partizan
leading the band and the names of in
tlividual Indians. 1'he minuteness of de-
scription required necessary to constitute
q substantial claim to obtain redress, which
even when the Government is well dis
posed towards any class Of it, citiz rs re-
quires endless red tape and years Of de-
lay, makes it tquite impossible for stochmen
to obtain satisfaction in that way.
Indians do not as n rule destroy stock
openly. They come upon our rall-
ges ostensihly for the purpose Of hunting
game, and while there drive cattle into
secluded places to be slaughtered accord
ing to their faneied needs, which are al
ways prodigal. We're a system Of espion-
age to be adopted whereby they could be
detected il the act tis still not probable
that i'll one case out of ten could the name
Of the tribe, OF the chief II charge, OF. the
individual reds be ascertained. TO the
eye ct the average atoekman, there is noth-
ing that distinguishes an Indian of one
tribe from another. Il is simply known
that the fedshtVs commit the mischief, and
i'll taking action against them when found
On our ranges no discrimination can be
made.

of civilization il the West, have enough
to contend against il the ordinary vieissi-l
tudes of the business. The labor and

from time to time, are scarcely recem-5
.pensed by the large profits tllat ft Is COM

mains Of hides, horns, and partialIy con-
