4 browning In his annual report issued
to-day says the placing of Indians in
the State public schools, has not been
encouraging, as prejudice exists to the
mingling of the races upon the part OF
the whites as we'll as the Indians. The
Indian, the Commissioner says, is quick
to advance otter once mastering the
English language and there are now
a number OF graduates of these schools
who have become teachers, the Civil
| Service Commission encouraging this
move. In regard to the recent killing
| of Indians ut Jackson'5 Hole some ad-
ditional facts obtained by the Depart
ment of Justice are given. They show
that the Indians were not guilty OF
wantonly slaughtering game and IN no
instance have the Indians been the
aggressors against the whites in that
country. The Indians of that neigh
borhood it is said are still sullen and
dissatisfied and urge that the guilty
whites be punished.
Congressman Settle, of North Caro-
lima, is in the city. He speaks conf
| IDENTIFY of the present and continuing
power ofthe republicans and their allies
in his State. According to his state
ment, the democrats there are "daZed
and stampeded." He says they are
confused of tongue" no two of them
speaking the same language. In this
he was borrowing from the Babel OF
the Bible, and when asked if he was
specially versed in scriptural lore, he
| frankly confessed to being somewhat
confused" himself. Reed, he states,
is developing good deal of strength in
his State as Presidential candidate.
He is not certain of the wis
dom of selecting Southern con-
gresham for chairman of the Elec-
lions committee. He does not deny
that the democrats treated him
most fairly in his contested case in the
last Congress and expresses the belief
that no outrages will be committed by
republicans on democrats holding GER
tiGcates to seats. The fusion which
proved so destructive to the democratic
party in North Carolina has come, he
says, to stay, and his State can be
counted on as being in the Presidential
column for next year. MIR. Settle was
the youngest member of the last Con.
eress and is probably the youngest Of
the present. In the zeal and ardor o.
youth he sees the political future
through gaudy vision, and with more
experience will doubtless grow calmel
in political prophecy.
A rich and prominent republican
from Akron, Ohio, here to-day, says
his party in his State is doing all it can
by its foolishness to elect the demo
cratic ticket there, and that he would
not be in the least surprised if ex-Gov-
ernor Campbell be reelected. He also
says the many republican aspirants TO,
the Senate there are squabbling and
fighting among themselves, and that
each of them would rather have Brice
reelected than any republican except
himself.
Congressman Culberson, now here,
says his nephew, the Governor of Tex
as, will have to withdraw his opposi
ton to the ett-Fitzsimmons prize
fight, as there is no law that prohibits
such fight in Texas.
| For the first time in two years the
receipts of the Treasury for the current
month are expected to exceed by two
or three million the expenditures; and
this, too, under the "pelfiiy and dis
honor" tariff law.
A gentleman from Chapel Point here
to-day says the building of the new
court house for Charles county, Mary
land, has been temporarily stopped by
Injunction, and the case is now before
the Supreme Court of the State. He
thinks, however, that the court house
will be built at La Plata.
An intelligent and well informed
democratic politician from Alabama,
here to-day, says Senator Morgan's let
| ter to the democrats of that Slate has
brought at least ten thousand men
back to the party there, but that he
thinks the State will send solid free
silver delegation to the next national
d ,mocratic convention.
Congressman Turner, Of Virginia,
was here to-day chiefly to get carpen-
ter employment in one of the govern
ment departments:
A negro named Adams Shorter was
drowned in the canal at &c 1rgetown
this morning.
The condition of Lewis d. Means,
who was struck by car on the Chevy
Chase railroad here yesterday evening,
has not improved, and he is supposed
to be fatally hurt.
at Spring Grove, Surry county, Va,
| Thomas ]. Whitmore was appointed
postmaster to-day, vice Jos. Fl. Drewry,
resigned.
Race horse people here say that
neither one of the race tracks in Alex
exandria county has made any money
this summer, but, on the contrary, that
both of them have been losers, but have
continued from week to week with the
hope that their receipts may increase.
The receipts have increased somewhat
recently, but not enough to equal ex-
penses. The proprietors think they
have been badly treated by the New
York Jockey Club, which, they say, is
breaking the laws of New York every
race day.
"A Baltimore democrat here to-day
says democratic prospects there are i'm
proving every day. Senator German,
he says, will speak at every important
point in the State at which there is
any reported democratic detection, and
that wherever he speaks the waters are
smoothed, his magnetism being made
manifest wherever he appears.
The address of Bishop William Paret,
of the diocese of Baltimore, was the
