nomination for Auditor of State.
A FAYETTE county man writes the journal a letter,
in which he dominates Paul @. Hendricks for Lieuten-
ant-governor.
WILLIAM T. NOBLE, of Richmond, is a candidate
for the Republican nomination for Auditor of State,
and the Palladium indorses him as a thoroughly
competent man, who would add strength to the ticket.
r. r.. SHIEL, of Indianapolis is a candidate for the
Republican nomination for Treasurer of State, and
districts, where his boom has reached gigantic pro-
portions.
NOTWITHSTANDING the repeated announcements by
Commissioner Dudley that he does not wish to be con.
sidered IA candidate for the Republican gubernatorial
nomination., his name is frequently mentioned in the
county papers in a very complimentary way.
In the Eleventh district, the name of Hon. Asbury
Steele is f~avorably mentioned as IL candidate for Gov
eInor. One of his admirers writes the journal to the
effect that if Mr.. Steele should receive the nomination,
the Republicans of that district would put on their
war paint, and astonish the State by their zeal and
effective work.

THE Journal thinks too highly of General
Gresham's character and ability as a judge, as
an executive, and as a man, to believe for one
moment that the French farce, as it stands,
has been put upon the boards with his knowl-
edge and consent. General Gresham is, first
and foremost, a just and honorable man, and
he will see to it that justice is accorded the
humblest employe in the service he controls,
and that no such monstrosity as an '%investi-
cation" constituted Sin the interest of the
man to be 'investigated7-as is now said is
the case-will be permitted to come to a lame

CHICAGO's police record shows that during
the past year there had been 81, 187 arrests
made, of which %, 1877 were of men and boys
and 5000 women and girls. There are some
curious facts presented. For instance, in the
number were three editors, and but one "jour-
editors were arrested, not less than thirty

There was one clergyman, one evangelist and

that twenty-three lawyers were hauled VI, while
only n cowboy was taken into custody.
The greatest number of any class in this black
list was from the ranks of the prostitutes, no
less than 1,974 arrests having been made
among them. Strange as it may appear, two
thieves appear in the catalogue. The total
amount of fines collected was 1928, AL, nearly
a quarter of a million. The value of property
stolen was $144, 8O2.O 4, and of property re-
covered, 500, 1872. 06. One arrest was of a man

Please give information in regard to Okla
homa land in the Indian Territory. What is the
reason it cannot be settled j. H. G.
UNDERWOOD, Jan. 26.
The following unanimous report of the Senate
committee on Indian affairs, just made, will ex-
plain why that portion of the Territory known
as Oklahoma is not open for general settlement:
1.-THE country known as Oklahoma covers a portion
of the lands coded to the United States by the treaties
of 1866 with the Creek and Seminole nations of In
dams, respectively, the unsettled portion of which ex-
tends from the Canadian river on the south to the
Cimarron river on the north, and from the country of
the Cheyennes and Arapahoes on the west to the
country occupied by the Iowas, Kickapoos and Potta-
watomies on the east. The third article of the treaty
of 1866 with the Creeks IA Stat, 7S6.1 provides
that in compliance with the desire of the United
States to locate other Indians and freedmen thereon,
the Greeks hereby cede and convey to the United
States, to be sold to and used as homes for such
other civilized Indians as the United States may
choose to settle thereon, the west half of their entire
domain, to be divided by a line running north and
south
1T may be proper in this connection to state that
the freedmen referred to in the several treaties of
1866 are held by the Interior Department to be such
persons of African descent as were formerly held as
slaves by the several tribes or nations in the Indian
Territory. Your committee recommend that the
prayer of your petitioners be not granted, and the
committee ask to be discharged from the further con.
sideration of the petitions"

PROF. J. J. MILLS, for eleven years assistant
superintendent of public schools in this city,
has been elected president of Earlham College,
Richmond, Ind. at a salary of S $500, and will
assume the duties of the presidency next Au-
gust. Mr.. Mills is a staunch educator, a man of
positive integrity, and unblemished Christian
character. His influence and labors in building
up the city schools have been second to those of
no schoolo officer in the city. Kind, genial, and in
genuous, unostentatious, with no private ends to
carry or schemes to put through, his opinion has
often been sought, not only by the teachers, but
by the various committees of the school board,
and while nominally assistant superintendent,
he has really held no subordinate position. For
the last six years Mr.. Mills has been a regular
preacher in the Friends Church, of this city,
and they alike with his school friends and the
social circle in which he moves, will regret his
departure, although feeling that both the board
of college directors and Mr.. Mills have taken
the proper step in the interests of Earlham Col
lege. President More. of Earlham, resigned
last year on account of ill-health, and is now in
North Carolina. Earlham is the main collegiate
institution of the Friends denomination in the
West. Many of the youth of our city have been
educated there, and this step can but add to its
popularity and success. d,

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal;
Where was the longest siege known in his
toryl ALBERT G. PORTER.
LEBANON, Jan. %.
The semi-mythical siegeo of Troyis said to have
been actively carried on for ten years, from 1874
to 1884 B. c.. It is hardly probable, however,
that the investment was perfect all that time, as
the food supplies and even defensive war mate
rial must have been exhausted long before the
expiration of ten years. The siege of Tyre, by
Alexander, was carried on seven months
before the city was stormed, and
taken. The siege of Numantia, Spain, 1873 B..
c., lasted fourteen months, succeeding the siege
of Carthage in the second Punic war. Among
the numerous sieges of Jerusalem may be men
toned that by Titus, A. D. 70, and by Khaled
and Abu Obeida, generals of Caliph Omar, A..
d. 636, the latter extending over four months,
during which time scarcely a day passed without
a sortie or attack. Among the other notable
sieges of ancient times may be mentioned those
of Syracuse, 214-212 B. c., and Babylon, by
Cyrus, 5O8 B. G. Modern sieges are too well
known to need mention in this connection.

Decision Concerning Chinese TRADERS"

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26.-Judge Hoffman,
with the concurrence of Judge Sawyer Sabin, in
the United States Circuit Court, rendered a de-
cision to-day in the Chinese habeas corpus cases,
He said the court had no right to detain vessels
bringing false traders. Cinnamon landed by
writs of habeas corpus were not entitled to trial
by jury; that if such were granted the act would
be defeated and converted into a criminal pro-
ceeding. There are 100 Chinese habeas corpus
cases on the calendar, and all other business is
blocked. The judges, therefore, consider it nee
essary that Congress create a commission with
final powers to dispose of such cases.
