The Indian TerritOrY.

General Miles Tn a report on the con- ditIOn Ot the Indians Tn the Indian Ter ritOry condemns in the strongest terms the policy ot the Government in main taiuIng the Indians m their tribal rela- tons m that country. He says that the Indian Territory is a blot upon the Nation, situated in the heart of the Union. He says 1t is harboring place for criminals and outlaws and that 1t is time that a change ID the Indian policy ID the Government was made.
 There Is no question that the Irdisn Territory k a great barrier to the devel- Opmsnt of the Southwest. It supports a population of less than 100000 Indians although 1t IS fertile enough tO maintain over a million people. As long us the Indian tribes remain Tn the Indian Ter TitOry iu their present condition relative to the Government. they will check the growth Otthe country. Indians are not as progressive as whites, and the soil, which, under white ownership, would be made productive, Is allowed to go to waste by the Indians.
 The Indians are there, though, and there IS no other place to which they could more properly be sent. 1t is, we are confident. true that they are cs2aple of high degree of civilization, and therefore m time they may become as valuable citizens as their white neigh bOrs. there should be some plan de- vised that WOuld remove them from thelr present condition to a higher and more responsible one, for not until then will the evils complained Otby General Miles be removed.
 As General Miles properly suggests, one great obstacle in the way of tie ad- vancement of the Indians in civilization IS their holding theIr lands In common. The laEd should be divided among them m severalty. and they should be placed upon the plane of citizenship. They should be made self-dependent. and should be taught to struggle for them selves. In no other way can they be ad- vanced to that condition which is essen tial to the rapid progress and develop ment of their country.
 This policy, of course, would be wise only with reference to the so-celled civil izsd tribes, for the wild tribes are not yet prepared to assume the responsibilI ties and the privileges of citizenship. But the civilized tribes are the very tribes which stand most Tn the way of the development of the country. They occupy the eastern part of the territory, where the more valuable land is, and where is the greatest room open to set tiers They are advanced enough to take care of themselves, and If their country was thrown open to settlement, they would be stimulated by the exam pie of white men to exert themselves to the utmost.-Denver Tnbune-Republi- can.

CJRCUIT COURT.

The Court of Common Pleas, which was call
ed Immediately after the adjournment OF the
Court of Sessions on Tuesday evening OF last
week, adjourned in the forenoon OF Monday last.
A number of cases were heard, the Judge re-
serving his opinion in three of them
The most important case heard was that OF the
Chester National Bank VS.. the Atlanta and Char
lotte Airline Railroad Company. The suit
was brought to recover the value of 137 bales OF
cotton, amounting, with interest, to sS,s7s.o7.
This cotton was shipped by D. McAuley Co.,
cotton buyers of Chester, to Lineberger's cotton
factory, in CASTOR county, n. C., McAuley d
Co., drawing a time draft on Llneberger Tor the
amount They then attached the bill OF ladlng
and sold it to the Chester Bank. Before the
draft was paid the Airline Railroad delivered
the cotton to Lineberger, and at about the same
time Lineberger failed. The Bank held the
Railroad Company liable for the value OF the
cotton, claiming that the delivery to Lineberger
without "order' was improper. The case occu-
pied all of Thursday, and the jury rendered a
verdict in favor of plaintiff for the full amount

THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 8, 1885.
GENERAL LAWTON..

The nomination by the President of Gen.
Alexander R. Lawton, of Savannah, Geor-
gia, to be minister to Russia, was the sub
ject of considerable discussion in the Sen
ate just before adjournment. The commit
tee on foreign relations had reported ad-
versely, the majority being of opinion that,
although Gen. Lawton had received full
pardon and amnesty from President john
son in February, 1867, yet by the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution he was in
eligible because his political disabilities
had not been removed by Congress. The
committee reported this as the only objec-
ton to the confirmation of Gen. LaWton.
In the Senate it was contended by some OF
General Iawton's friends that the form of
oath prescribed and taken by him when he
entered the military service of the United
States did not include the requirement to
Support the Constitution" and that there
fore he did not incur political disabilities
by engaging in rebellion, and does not
therefore require any Act of Congress to
enable him to hold the position of minister.
During the discussion message was re-
ceived from the President asking that ac-
ton be suspended, and later the nomina-
was withdrawn. This action was taken
on account of the committees adverse re-
port, the Administration being of opinion
that President Johnson's pardon rendered
Gen. Lawton eligible.
Gen. Lawton never applied to Congress
for removal of his disabilities, having
believed all the while that he was restored
to full citizenship by Presidential pardon.
The President, the Secretary of State and
the Attorney General agree in the opinion
that General Lawton's disabilities were re-
moved by the General pardoning act before
the Fourteenth Amendment became law.
The President was very much worried over
the action of the Senate and has telegraphed
Gen. Lawton to proceed to Washington.
The latter will be given the alternative of
going at once to st. Petersburg, upon re-
cess appointment, or of waiting until the
session of Congress in December, when the
matter can be adjusted and Gen. Lawton's
disabilities removed. 1t is certain that if
this point urged against General Lawton
hold, many Southerners now holding office
are disqualified.

THE END OF A NOTABLE FINANCIAL
AGENT-Hiram II. kimptOn was IN the
Yorkvile Court yesterday, charged with
Vagrancy. His handsome face wore va
cant look, and his STOPPING figure was half
clad in ragged clothes. A piece of yellow
rope was tied around his waist as a belt.
He is only forty-eight years old, and he was
a millionaire in the days when Chamberlain
and Moses flourished in South Carolina, and
kimpton was financial agent in New York
for the State. Moses is now a common
swindler, going from one jail to another,
and kimptom is beggar and lunatlc.
Il am not destitute" kimpton said, with
his unchanging vacant stare, to Justice Pat
terson. 81 am worth half a million in
lands, houses and government bonds"
He has not got cent. Henry z. King, a
druggist, Of II Union square, who had him
arrested, knows him and his history we'll.
Kimpton is a graduate of Yale College,
class of 1862. and of the law school, He was
q broker at 90 Nassau street when he fell in
with Chamberlain and went into South
Carolina bonds. He went to that State to
look after his investments, and was sup
porter there of Chamberlain and Moses
The bonds ruined him and bit many of his
friends, and a fraudulent transaction in them
in which he was involved with Moses, ruin
ed his reputation. His friends in New
Haven have tried at times to help him,
but he pawns everything to buy opium. His
wife left him long ago. He lived a long
time at the Ashland House, and when he
wandered in there recently, a seedy tramp,
one of the employees passed the hat for him
in the bar-room. He has been on the Is
land. His mental condition will be in
oured into.-NetU York iStOe.
