There is but little doubt that the President
has directed that a writ Of quo soarranto be ap-
piled for to cause Mr. Stanton TO appear in
court and show by what authority he holds the
office of Secretary of War, but up to two o'clock
to-day the application had not been made to
the courts of the District The writ is so sell
dom used in this District and Maryland that
there are but few acquainted with the course
of proceedings incidental thereto, and there is
some diversity Of opinion on the subject
1t is held by many, and we believe by
some of the justices of the District
Supreme Court that the first step is taken
by the Attorney General or District Attorney
who comes into open court and files informa-
ton in which is set out all the facts, with Pc
ttion for the issuance of a writ of quo soarranto
in the name of the Government, TO show by
what authority the individual holds Office The
Court examines into the facts set forth. and
orders the writ to issu dsmisses the in NORMA
ton. The counsel may argue at this point the
question whether the writ shall Issue. II the
writ is ordered to issu ue, the court fixes day on
which the party appears, and testimony is then
taken and the questions involved are argued
BY some again it is held that an affidavit must
be filed and leave obtained In open court to file
ps ution for the writ. Others again hold that
on the filing OF information by the Attorney
General er offeio, or the District Attorney, the
citation or rule issues as a matter OF course.
The officer files his answer thus joining is
sue. and the case is heard, when testimony is
taken and judgment given, either dismissing
the information or giving judgment against the
officer.


The application had not been made up to 3

would not be made to-day

should attempt to urgeit upon Congressl
Why ask that the charge of the Indi-
ans be committed to the army, if he

To introduce greater fidelity into the
management of Indian affairs, and to do
something substantial in the way
of domesticating and civilizing the
red man, it is absolutely neces-
sary to elevate the Bureau to
the dignity and authority of an inde-
pendent department. charged with no
other duty than such as is connected
with the care and civilization of the In
dians. By this process you reach the
bottom of the evil, and give reasonable
hope that the Indian service may be
purified. The army never has and never
will make an effort to civilize an Indian.
One educated and trained for the duties
of a soldier has no taste for such work.
Moreover, the discipline of the army is
wholly inconsistent with the scheme of
civilizing Indians. -sE"


The obligation rests upon the people
of the United States to make every ef-
fort to save the Indians from what Gen.
Sherman has styled their "doom )" and

the proper Legislation and appropriate
means for demonstrating and civilizing

not appear how the conflicting jurisdic-

In former article on the compa1 ative
profits of growing wheat and oats we spoke
OF the latter crop as being more exhausting
to the soil than the former. An old farmer
says "Oats poison the ground and viii do
more harm to it than any other crop you can
put In" We don't believe this broad asser-
tion in its whole length. The opinion that
oats are more exhausting than any other crop,
says the Country Gentleman, is by no means
a universal one among theorists and practical
cultivators. But we believe It Is generally
conceded that The growth Of oats exhausts
the soil more than wheat, and one proof Of
this Is found in the fact that grass seed
@catches" better in field of wheat than in
one OF oats. An agricultural writer says that
all vegetables exhaust the soil In proportion
to the nourishment they afford. Oats, which
are so nourishing to horses, exhaust the soil
more than any root crop" Nov we are not
prepared to receive the above statement as
sound philosophy. But one thing we are
quite sure of. The raising of twenty. five
bushels of oats will exhaust the land much
more than growing five bushels of wheat and
the five bushels of wheat are equal in value
to the twenty-five bushels of oats. The labor
and expense of producing this amount of
wheat are surely less than the labor and ex-
pense required to grow the oats. Our farm
ers will do well to think Of these things the
coming season, and not SOW oats merely for
the purpose OF exchanging them for the flour
needed in their families. They may grow
oats for their horses and for other purposes,
but not merely to purchase their dour; for
they can raise their own wheat with much
less labor and expense than they can the oats
to purchase it, We are tired of hearing our
farmers say they can raise oats and buy their
flour cheaper than they can raise it. We
don't believe word of it. II the season is
favorable we expect larger crop of wheat
win be raised in Maine this year than ever
was raised before.
