New York Sun: The Hon. J.
Adam Bede, of Vermilion range,
has issued a letter to announce
that he does not want to be, q
member of the Chippewa Indian
commission. He is no ward, he
says, as he does not pine for iii,
reservation. The truth is, the
renowned birch bark pants were
made out of two Chippewa dug
outs, and the little citizen is
doubtful about going among the
Chippewas again. They might
want to adopt him, and they
would be sure to lay claim to his
crusal envelopes.

reconvened does not appear<to
sorely distress the tranquility of
the average mind. That the de-
served rebube to democratic free
trade tendencies administered at
the late elections will lead to- a
more conservative course on the
part of the democratic majority
is acceded, and the people do
not 50 much fear the results of
any MINOR measures which may
be passed this session.
