CONGRESSIONAL.
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The presidential
succession bill came up and Senator Maxey
spoke on it. He said we ought not to go
to the legislative department or the judicial
department for successors to the presiden-
tial offices in cases contemplated by the
BILL and the plan proposed by taking them
from the executive departments of the
government was clearly the best that could
be adopted.
Senator Lapham said this bill opened up
the whole question of succession in the
discharge of duties of the presidential
Office, and was a fortunate object which
could be discussed free from the excitement
and embarrassments which surrounded it
at the time of the shooting of President
Garfield. In his judgment the inability"
of President Garfield began when the shot
was fired, and the Vice-President would
have had a right to assume the perform
ance of the duties and powers of the
office at that time. and the fact that he had
forborne to do so was sufficient answer
to the intimations made that he had been
disposed to grasp at the powers of the
presidency.
Senator Merrill introduced Joint reso-
luton providing for the termination of the
Hawaiian reciprocity treaty. Tabled till
After an executive session the Senate

Hon. Charles Francis Adams, Jr.,
has recently expressed himself strong
ly against the compulsory use ofGreek
and Latin as requirements for admis,
sion to our colleges. He says: "The
course taken by the colleges as re-
CARDS the dead languages, operates
practically to prevent the students
acquiring any real knowledge of the
living languages" Again, SHOULD
not proficiency in the modern Ian
guages, quite as much as superficial
knowledge of the dead languages
entitle the student to admission
to the college course? Why should
this great and exclusive privilege
attach to Latin and Greek alone /?
Neither reason nor practical exper-
ience in ifejustifies it. The majority
Of educated Americans will agree
with Mr.. Adams, and it is to be hoped
that the subject will be agitated until
reform is instituted. The increas-
ing immigration of foreigners into the
United States, and our growing COM
mercial intercourse with other ma
tions make the knowledge of modern
foreign languages. particularly Ger
man and French, very useful, while
Latin and Greek are of no practical
benefit to three-fourths of our college
gradutes. Better teach boy that by
which he can earn his bread and but
ter, than cram his head with obsolete
languages which will be of no use to
him in after life.

Trains on the A. & P. road where it
crosses the Colorado in Arizona, pass
over bridge 600 feet above the bed

certainly, and 500 feet higher than the

CONFEDERATE BONDS.

The continual prating about an
English syndicate having for its OBJ
ject the pressing of payment of Con-
federate bonds, which is said will APP
proximate $4OO,OOO,0O0 and which are
mostly held IN Europe, is becoming
somewhat stale, and pals upon. intel
ligent cars. The consummation Of
such a job, like Hope the charmer,
will linger, still behind" and out Of
sight until the ensuing Presidential
canvass closes. The Confederate debt
is the Republicans scarecrow which
they hang in the political field just be-
fore National election, to frighten
men who believe all they see in print,
into voting the Republican ticket be-
cause of that party's watchfulness in
protecting the treasury from the cor
morants who hold Confederate script
which they bought for a song, and
have now lost the tune. The scheme,
having again pipped, the Confederate
States, or what was claimed as the
Southern Confederacy, are to be
called upon to pay up, which in the
present wrecked financial condition Of
those States would prove moral i'm
possibility. 1t would result in their
being swamped and placed as deeply
in the mire as was the Jehu who called
upon Hercules to lend assistance to
relieve him from his dilemma. 1t
will be made to appear that the Her.
cules who is called upon in this par
ticular instance, will be the Northern
Democrats who, the Republicans aver,
are of the same bundle of sticks as
their Southern partizans, notwith-
standing they waged war against each
other during the late unpleasantness,
one siding for the segregation of the
Union, the other for its preservation.
The scheme is exceedingly thin, so
thin, that the object in view is plainly
discernable, and when properly pune
tured, as it certainly will be, it will be
dropped; the bloody shirt in its en-
tirety will take its place, and the Vi
cissitudes and heart-rending scenes Of
"the rebellion" be as persistently
Aaunted as they have been for the
past twenty years during the tug of
an election. IT'S trite saying that
Necessity knows no law" hence the
ruse to frighten men in their pockets
by the probable demand for the pay
ment of S400,0O0,000 bonds which is
but a tithe of the Confederate indebt-
edness. Those bonds and that scrip
bear about the same relative value, at
the present day, as Continental mon
ey, which was created for the purpose
of enabling the colonists to pull
through when waging, first a defen-
sive and subsequently an aggressive
war against the mother country
and which is only valuable as cabinet
curiosities. In the latter days of that
memorable struggle it required 800

The striking telegraphers have at
last realized their inability to success
fully cope with so strong corpora
ton as the Western Union, and have
sought the assistance of the govern
ment, by addressing a communication
to President Arthur, alleging that the
telegraphic correspondence of the
various government departments is
not being promptly transmitted, and
asking that the matter be Immediate
ly investigated. The petition comes
too late, and is not likely to receive
any attention from the President. Of
course strike of such magnitude
would necessarily cause a temporary
embarrassment OF business, but the
strike has developed the fact that
there were a large number of old op-
orators, engaged in other employments,
who were able to quickly regain mas
terry over the keys, and they have been
utilized. That they are again rapid
ly becoming proficient is shown by
the steady improvement in the service,
and the w. U. company are now
transmitting all messages without de
lay, as before the strike, except at a
few small and unimportant points.
Schools of telegraphy all over the
country arc turning out scores of
crude operators, who soon become
proficient in the employ of the COM
panies, and as long as the supply con-
tinues to exceed the demand, opera
tors will not be able to dictate terms
to the companies. Strikes in all
branches Of trade are detrimental to
the laboring classes, as they encour-
age idleness and dissipation, and cause
much suffering among those who
would work if allowed TO by the
brotherhoods and unions. The yield
ing of the American Rapid Telegraph
company, (Which is small concern)
to the strikers demands, does not affect
the general result. There can be, but
one termination to the strike, and
that will be a complete victory for the
companies.

The Deer Greek Coal Fields.
An UnwRrrantable Assump.
ton Of Authority.

We are informed that Capt. Craw-
ford has threatened to eject, by force,
the occupants of the Deer Creek coal
fields, and destroy their property if
not removed within specified time,
in obedience to an order made by the
Secretary of the Interior, but before
he is guilty of such high-handed in
Justice we wish to direct his attention
to sec. 2147, chap. 4, of the U. S. Stat
utes relating to the government of the
Indian country. He has evidently
overlooked il.
The mere running of a boundary
line does not settle the question of
title. 1t is judicial question, and
. the proper way for the United States
to establish her right to the property
is to enter suit in ejectment. against
the occupants, and not by force of
arms eject men who believe they have
an indefeasible title under the laws of
the United States to their possessions.
This country is governed by written
laws, and not by the exercise of a shot
gun policy. The constitution of the
United States provides that the mill
tary shall at all times be subordinate
to the civil power, and it would be
well for Capt. Crawford to bear that
fact in mind.
The United States has made ample
provision for the protection of the
rights Of her citizens, and if they do
not avail themselves of it the failure
to act rests with themselves. The
property in question is of great value,
and it is net at all likely the occu-
pants will passively submit to being
deprived of it until all legal means
have been exhausted, and, doubtless,
they will proceed against any one who
elects them otherwise than by due
course of law. Should the occupants
refuse to vacate upon the simple or
der of a military officer, which they
are sure to do, the officer, in the exc
cution of his presumed duty will,
necessarily, be obliged to use Torce
which will involve the libeAy of the
occupants and which IL Officer can.

Prom the preseh> case
it is not unlikely than occupy
the attention of a lega Ianal where
principles of law, rule$ef evidence
and justice will prevail, andShere in
the investigation of the case, some
startling facts, not known to the pub
lie, may be made to appear. We have
seen affidavits which warrants that
belief. 1t now becomes a matter of
interest to the public to know the
tigurativc character Of the country be-
aween the Gila river and the southern
boundary claimed by the representa-
tive of the United States as Indian
reservation, Page of the report of
Commissioner of Indian Affairs to the
Secretary of the Interior for the year
ending 1881, furnishes the desired in
formation. He states lit as a rough
mountainous country, much cut up
. with deep arroyos, or water washes.
ISut few springs are found 1--WE know
of but one and that furnishes q very
limited amount of water, few inches,
less than six,) and only in the rainy
season is there water in these arroyoS;
the hills are covered with large stone
and malipi rock, and no part of it is
suitable for agricultural purposes.
There is but littlewood besides the mes
quite and now and then a cottonwood.
1t was in this section that the coal beds
were discovered" There appears
80 be am eliipSis IN -thc Commission
er's description of the Deer creek
coal fields and surroundings which we
will supply by adding that it is hell
Of a country, and would not be worth
AIRED for any purpose under the
sun except for the coal that underlics
it, and it is for the coal and nothing
else that the inlquitous pretence of
protecting the welfare of the Indians
is showed under the nose of unthink-
ing men, in order to blind the general
intelligence to the fact that there is a
job put up by scheming men to filch
the property from men who prospect
cd the country, discovered and de-
veloped the coal fields, nsing the army
for the unhallowed purpose of appro-
priating them to their own use. 1t
possibly may puzzle the understand
ing how this great wrong is to be con-
summated. The occupants once out
of the way, others, under lease, will
probably be put in possession when,
in due time, the southern boundary
will be sufficiently removed north as
to restore the coal fields to the public
domain. The lessees, on the ground,
will acquire title by simply locating
the same; but Notwithstanding this
apparently well laid plan they will f.
nally find that 1.-The best laid schemes
