OF ":he pine ring" Notwithstanding this
the treaty was signed by all.
At Ravens Point. on Lake Winnehago-
shiSh, the same influence was found at
work, and White men were there to pre-
vent the consummation of the treaty and
To work in secret for the extension of the
whisky trade through defeat OF the
treaty. The Indians at this, the last
point of the trip, were found in most
deplorable condition. The work OF
whisky and debauchery was
seen in an awful measure.
The indians in some instances had
been so completely demoralized, and so
entirely robbed of the means of subslst-
ence, that they would eat the dead bodies
OF diseased horses. The men were in
most revolving condition and seemingly
lost to all moral sense, while women were
made articles OF merchandise. Among
all the scattered Indians a melancholy
state of abiect misery and loss of all
moral sense was found
The last scene that the commission wit
messed as they pulled out in their canoes
from White Oak Point was one touching
as well as terrible. Upon the bank of the
lake, In the midst of a chilling rain, sat
poor Indian woman adding her tears to
those that nature seemed shedding In ten
der sympathy. The husband had just sold
one OF the children, young girl not more
IMAM 10 years of age, to some lumbermen
Tor sack of -four. She was to be taken
Tor their own vile purposes, and two other
children had gone the same horrible way
TO debauchery. The husband had been
drunk, and in the midst OF his drunken
ness had effected the bargain and sale of
his own flesh and BLOOD.
In regard to the safety and comfort OF
the commission they expressed the senti-
ment that the Indians ever proved faith
full to them. There was no time at any
council when they feared theft or insult.
Ihe commissioners placed great stress
upon the danger of the sale OF whisky to
the Indians, which, they say, is being
carried on, especially among the more
nom adic tribes, to an alarming extent.
They claim that just as soon as these In
dians can be quartered on reservations the
greater part of this VIII cease, but that a
strenuous effort is now being made bv
the whisky dealers to, In all ways, vetard
the work of the commission. In addition
to this it is said that a wholesale traffic Is
engaged in in the young girls of the
travelling tribes wherever they can be
brought in contact with the men who are
engaged in this nefarious business. 1t is
said by the Commissioners that there are
many, many instances where girls are
just as good as sold to white men, and.
after being robbed of all they have most
dear, are turned adritt with tiny babe
in their arms, and another girl taken in
their place.
In regard to the ratification Of the
treaty by Congress the Commissioners
felt that there would not be much dan.
ger, but that it would be done because
there was such an aroused public senti.
ment on the matter, and because, too, the
Indians were so unanimous in their de-
sire for treaty.

RACTIONAL CURRENCY.
Gen. Spinner's Love OF Apples Re
suited in its Issue.
From a Saratoga Letter.

From a Saratoga Letter.
Sitting on the porch of the Grand Union
with Capt. S. B. LaJhrop of Illinois, who
was for a number of years in the Treasury
Department, happened to take roll of
bills out of my pocket on the outside of
which was an old Treasury note so folded
that it displayed conspicuously the odd
and unshapely signature of Gen. Spinner,
the former Treasurer of the United States.
Capt. Lathrop talkedwith me about paper
money of various kinds and mentioned
the fractional currency which was used
during the war and down to the time of
the resumption of specie payment as hav-
ing been the invention of Gen. Spinner.
l asked Capt. LathrOp if he knew any
thing about the process by which Gen.
Spinner evolved this currency, and be
said: IL have heard the General talk
about 1t. Everything in the shape of
coin vanished after war had been de-
clared. You would not find even dime
of silver after the government began to
issue greenbacks. Ii you had a dollar
bill with which to 60 10 the market you
had to spend the whole or you could not
pay for your marketing. There was
no email change, and you had to
take something to fill put to the
amount of your bill. The General
was very fond of apples. and he used
to so out every day and buy few to eat.
He found that ne had 10 buy dollars
worth or none, and he got rather disg ust-
ed about it. He tried to conceive OF
something that would take the place of
small change. He finally thought OF
postage stamps, and sent down to buy 50
or So worth. Then he cut up a lot of gov
eminent paper, such as is used for print
ing securities, in small pieces. on which
he pasted stamps to represent &C., 10c.
and 25c. He used these for day or two,
and found that they passed readily for
currency, and that everybody was ready
to receive them. If you will remember,
they Immediately got to putting up post
25c., soc. and 75c., and the people
found these envelopes very convenient,
except that occasionally somebody would
open one and find that they were short a
stamp or two, and so confidence was soon
destroyed in that medium OF exchange.
But meanwhile Gen. Spinner had Deen
studying over the small change question
and had got his idea of fractional cur
rency. He went before Congress with it,
and very soon q law was passed author
izing such an issue. The first currency
that came out under this law had a fac
simile of a postage-stamp on IL, and so it
was known as the postal currency issue.
1t was always great sport for the young
fellows in the Treasury Department when
they could get Gen. Spinner to tell them
about his experience in trying to buy APP
pies for his lunch when be could not get
change for bis dollar bill"

NEW YORK, Sept. 2G.-At noon to-day
the Indians of the Pawnee and Sioux M
tions, and the group OF Comanche In
dams who have been with the Wild West
show at Erastina, s. l., were ready for
their last dinner IN the encampment before
leaving for their homes on the reserva-
t1oDs. The men wore new clothes con-
ssting OF coats, pants and vests and
white shirts, and had new shoes and
broad brimmed felt bats. Their long
black hair had been neatly braided and
paint was washed from their faces. All
the men were thus attired, except Lena
Wolf. chief Of the Bad Face band of
Sioux Indians, who could not be Induce
TO cast Off his scarlet blanket and native
dress. AT dinner they were all seated in
the same tent and were served with
chicken fricassee, roast beef, roast NUT
ton, potatoes, corn, beans, rice pudding,
custard pics, tea and coffee. AT 1880 p.
m. they left on a rapid transit train for
New York via St. George. They 90 West

During the Medicine" dance per-

was planted in the centre OF the great
tent Were the Indians were. and there
followed a wild dance about the feather,
which no one dared to touch during tha
dance unless he had killed a man in bat
tie and could prove IL by some one present.
Rocky Bear, chief OF the Ogallala band,

Cunning, who, it has been stated, acted
as the Intermediary between Victoria
Notwithstanding and her father, G. p.
Morosini, looking to some sort of recon
ciliation, has arrived from Europe. He
says, concerning the disappearance OF the
bankers daughter: "As the professional
adviser and personal friend Of Mr.. Moro
SIM, can say very little about this mat
ter. Mrs. Schilllng did come to see me. In
so many words she said she was tired OF
the relationship between herselfand Schil'
ling, and perhaps she intimated that she
wanted to leave him. Mr.. Morosini did
not see his daughter in
tins Office. and l do not be-
lleVe that ne has seen her since she left
her husband. l do not care 10 say whether
Mrs. Schilling's wish TO leave her hus-
band was communicated to her father.
The story that Schilling received any
money from Mr.. Morosini is untrue. MIR.
Morosini never gave him copper, you
can be assured OF that. Mrs. Schillingis

is not In convent, and she is not with

said of Dubois
THAT charges of grave character will
be laid at his door by his opponents, as
soon as the campaign opens, provided
he is the nominee, and the republican
party will be put on the defensive du-
ring the whole campaign, cannot be
questioned nor doubted for a single mo-
ment. 1t is not necessary to say what
those charges will be. 1t is enough to
say that the air was full of serious COM
plants during the. East campaign in
Oneida county, and in matters Of per-
sonal, political and Official character,
which will formulate into charges,
backed by atlidavits, even more bitter
than in the Singiser campaign, that will
put him and his party, as we have said
before, all the time on the defensive,
and bring disafiection in his own party,
and unite the democracy soldly against
him."

While acting as U. S. marshal
Dubois, sold deputy marshalships to the
highest bidder Some of his employees
drew eighty dollars month from the
government, percentage Of which was
turned over to Dubois as his share of
the spoils. He imported disreput-
able men from other states and terri
tories and appointed them to snbor-
dinate offices. while respectable citizens
of Idaho were begging for employment.
He imported Joe Wallace from Port
land and made him a deputy marshal
under the name Of Joe Comstock. He
associated with Wallace alias Comstock
in Portland and knew his character.
