The late peace commission negotiated treaties
with all the principal tribes east OF the Rocky
Mountains, and were guided In their action by the
general views stated above, which, indeed, may
be said to have been accepted by all disinterested
persons who have had any opportunity OF examining
the subject The treaties were duly ratified and SO
became the solemn contract between the United
States and those tribes 1t is deeply to be regretted

good faith OF the Government and all pro-
misses regarding the future have been doubtingly
received and az swered by the inquiry what agree
ment could be more binding than that made under
the authority OF Congress by 30 distinguished
personages as the ambassadors Of the United States?
Everything attending the Peace Commission was OF
nature to excite the imaglnatons OF the Indians,
and to impress them with the belief that now more
than ever before, we were thoroughly in earnest in
our negotiations. The DISAPPOINTMENT is proper
tionally great and the comparative quiet which has
been maintained throughout the year could only
have been secured by greatly Increased care and mn

Bureau and OF the army officers, who have co ope-

The report shows that the sum of S2 O75 s92 SO was
requisite to deray the expenses Of the Courts of the
United States for the fiscal year ending June 3O 1882
In ADDITION TO the estimated receipts from fines,
penalties and forfeitures 200 900 viii be required
Tor this service during the next fiscal year. This
sum is less by than that appropriated for the
present year.


In relation to appointments in the civil service the
Secretary remarks:-The first measure of reform is
to raise the standard OF qualification, make merit as
tested by the duty performed the sole ground OF
promotion and secure to the faithful incumbent the
same permanence of employment that is given to
officers Of the army and navy. Under the present
system the general conviction among the clerks and
employees is that the retention OF their places depends
much more upon the political influence they may
command that upon energy or zeal in the per-
formance OF duty. After careful examination OF
the subject, am fully persuaded that the measure
have suggested would have enabled this depart
ment to do the work OF the past fiscal year with q
corps OF clerks onethird less in number than were
found necessary.

An interesting decision has been


made by the Supreme Court ofCalifor-


MIA on betting on elections, The case


was that of Johnston, VS.. Russell, ap-
pcalcd from the Sixth District Court.
Johnston, plaintiff made several bets
on the Presidential election last fall.


Russell was the stakeholder Plaintiff
allowed the stakes to rest without de-
manling the withdrawal Of his own OF
any part of the same till the 23d of
November, when from the published
returns it became certain that he had
lost his money. Then he sent the
stakeholder, Russell, . written notice
not to pay the money or any part Of it
over to the winner, and that if he did
plaintiff would hold the stakeholder re
sponsiblo for his stakes. Russell did
pay the money to the winner aud hence
the suit. The Court decided--Sandcr-
son writing the opinion--first, that
gambling on popular electonsis against
public policy, and therefore illegal !;
second, that the money wagcred may
be recovered By law if the party who
stakcd it make II demand before the
event on which he wagered has been
decided; third, that if the better al
lows his stakes to remain in the hands
Of the stakeholder without any demand
for its return until the event has been
decided he cannot then come into
court ana sue for recovery, This was
what The plaintiff did in the case deci-
dcd lie waited and stood upon the

and then he appealed from the laws of

Of ihc opinion that to allow him this
appeal would be to encourage fraud.
They rcatIlrm the dictum Ofthc Court
Of Errors Of New York, in VisclIer, VS..
Yates, as the law Of California, which
was tha. either party might disatlirm
the wager and recover the money from
the stakeholder at any time before the
happening of the event upon which the
WAGER vas made; but that the loser
could not recover of the stakeholder af
ter the event hsd happened and he had
lost his moncy--that in that case as
to him the wager had become an exc
cuted contract, and his repentance has
come too late" The conclusion Of the
opinion is that "aiter the money has
been lost and won, neither party ought
to be heard in court of justice.

CAPITAL ARGUMENTs.-The Chicago
Tribune, in an editorial on the removal of
the National Capital to the west, presents,
among others, these leading arguments ;
First--That it will in thirty years cost as
much to patch up the old and erect new
buildings at Washington as it would TO
build new Capital in the West. Second
That Washington is an uft place for it,
because it has no commercial or other ma
tional interests, and is indefensible save at
immense cost in time of war against for
eign enemy. Third-That the predom-
mating interests of the country are now
west of the Alleghanies, and in twenty-five
years will be west of the Mississippi; that
the inland trade of the West is more valu-
able then its foreign commerce, and always
will so continue, and therefore some West
ern city would better represent the COM
mercial power and wealth of the United
States than New York or any other East
ern city. "The moneyed capital of the
Eastern States +" says the Tribune, rs
pouring hither as rapidly as its population.
Already they own at least s400,000,00O
of railroad city and State stocks in Illinois
alone;" and they can have no real interest,
it assumes, which opposes the planting Of
the political Capital of the nation in the
heart of the region in which they are plant
ing their money

Work PRoGREssING.-Work on the
Vallejo road is still progressing in this
direction. A station has been established
nine miles this side of Knights Landing.
The bridge over the Yuba City slough has
been completed, and the work of piling has
commenced on the Sutter side, for the
bridge across Feather river. We suppose
the City authorities of Marysville will
allow it to progress to the center of the
stream before stopping work upon it. 1t
Is to be hoped that the Vallejo road will be
able under the general railroad law of the
State to condemn sufficient of the mudhole
wherein Marysville stands for their pur-
poses and come ahead with their true and
practical overland route. Without some
coerclve measures to teach Marysville a
little common sense, that city will never
amount to anything more than a watering
station on the Central Pacifc's plug road
to Oregon.-Butte Record.

OvERwoRKING BUTTER.-A great deal
of good butter is spoiled in the working
which destroys the grain What Is meant
by the term grain, is waxy appearance
and the more it resemble wax in It's cor
sistency, the better the grain. When
properly churned both as to time and tenn
perature, butter becomes firm with very
little working, and is tenacious. 1t may
then be easily moulded into any shape, and
NAV be drawn out considerable length
before breaking. 1t has smooth, unc-
tuous feeling on rubbing little between
the finger and thumb When the grain
is injured the butter spreads like grease,
and the more it resembles grease, the
more is the grain injured. Good butter
that has not been injured in the grain will
not stick to the knife that cuts it.


Butter that has no grain is brittle, and
when broken presents a Jagged surface, and
will not spread with that smooth, waxy
appearance belonging to good butter 1t
is only when butter has this waxy consls
tency that it preserves that rich, nutty
favor and smell which impart so high a
degree of pleasure in eating it.


In working butter, the hands should not
come in direct contact with the butter.
Gather it with Il wooden butter ladle, in
the tray or butter bowl, turn off the butter
milk and wash with fresh spring water
Dash it around the whole circumference,
making channels lowest at either end, so
that the buttermilk can readily run away
Do not grind it down against the tray,
after the manner of tempering mortar, for
in this way you will be likely to injure
the grain.


1t is not well to attempt to work out
all the buttermilk at once. But very
little manipulation is required in washing
out the buttermilk- salt with pure
fine salt, and set aside in cool place for
twelve hours, during which time the action
of the salt will liberate more of the but
termilk Then work the second time,
either with ladle or butter worker, using
precaution not to overwork or grind the
butter by rubbing it down against the tray,
and then the work is done, and the butter
is ready for packing

THE TYRANNY OF THE GAS COMPANIES. - In
stitutions must be conducted on erroneous
principles that have the enmity of the whole
community, and we think there never were
institutions so universally and literally hated
as the gas companies are by the people of this
city. Every man has his grievance, and the
irregularities shown in the testimony taken
before the investigating committee are enough
to forfeit the charters. We hope the Legisla-
ture will make such changes in the law as will
render IL impossible in the future that these
companies should tyrannize over the people as
they have done in the past. Could there be a
more obvious outrage than the case Of Judge

The yellow slip Is q thing well known to
every merchant and business man in New
York and in every large city in the country
1t is q news slip which is distributed by the
telegraph company to Subscribers at certain
hours of the day, containing the principal for
eign and domestic market quotations Of our
securities, gold and the leading staples. It is
a custom of many years standing, and as the
Western Union Telegraph Company has
increased or secured its monopoly In the
transmission of intelligence by the wires, in
the same proportion has It been able to bring
the mercantile community under the necessity
Of subscribing to the yellow slip. By this
means 1t has gradually driven out every COM
petitor in supplying commercial news and
brought the markets to be subject in q large
degree to the influence of the statements con-
tanned In these reports.


For long years merchants in every branch
Of trade have suspected and complained of
manipulation Of these market reports; but it
has never been possible to bring the suspi-
cions home directly to the parties, and the
telegraph monopoly has been too powerful for
indiyiduals to cope with. Whether the yellow
slip contained truths or lies 1t il necessary to
the business man to subscribe for it, In order
to know what Influences are acting on the
market, so that the telegraph company
secured profitable item of business In sub
scriptions to its news publications, and some
body had the advantages to be derived from
the control of the intelligence to be given TO
the public. These advantages are found in
the ability to delay for several hours any news
Of an important advance or decline In prices;
meanwhile some one operated In the market.
Before the late war the principal scene of
these operations was the Southern cotton
markets. to-day the exclusive possession OF
news by the Atlantic cable extends the sphere
TO both sides Of the ocean.


We have had several occasions to refer TO
suspicious delays in the delivery Of these mar
ket reports at moments Of great advance or
decline in prices, and yesterday, in our money
market report, we were compelled to cite
another fragrant instance. On Monday n ma
terial change in the quotations. Of American
securities occurred in London. The yellow
slip was distributed as usual, with all the GUS
tomary quotations filled up, except only United
States securities. These had been omitted.
and when, several hours later, the London quo-
tations were obtained, IL was found that an


important decline had occurred. The instance
was so fagrant that the board Of government
brokers felt compelled to take into considera-
tion the provision Of a remedy for the evil.
The suggestion was made that the board
should send its own agent to London to report
the market.


This, gentlemen, Is not tho true remedy. So

ssnos By telegraph, 20 long will this evil
