The Grand Exposition Lottery, gotten up

The detestable, unavailing, business crush

The power to make and enforce quarantine
regulations must be lodged in some body or

When the committee of the caucus reported the

The country at large is beginning to appreciate the true measure of the army. As national police it IS of some service, but in many instances its efficiency in this respect is sadly wanting. It has been trusted too far, for the trust has been betrayed. The sins and transgressiOns of majority of its opponents are sure 10 be visited upon the organization. Its forces have combined this winter to bring the h. dians under the control of army officers and so bring detriment and death to both whites and Indians. But truth, though a stranger to the army, is great CT than it and sure to prevail. This truth has dawned upon the Senate, and those who have gwen the subject close attention say that careful can vass of the Senate shows that it is not probable that the proposition to transfer the Indian Bureau to the War De partment would be favorably consider ed by that body.

WASHINGTON, February 7.-The an nouncement that Blaine would speak on the silver question had the effect ot filling the floor and galleries of the Senate today. At least fifty mem

 bers of the House occupied sofas and chairs in the rear of the Senators desks, and the galleries were brilliant

 with fashiO1ably dressed ladies. Secre- tary Sherman and General Sherman

 were among the auditors on the floor

 Blaine's speech was liStned 10 with close attention throughout, and hIs peroratiOn, with its graceful allusion to the problem which had come down to us from Abraham's time, the weIght of silver that shall be current money with the merchant, was followed with enthusiastic applause. His opening declarations, that if silver had been demonetized he was in favor of re- mOnetiZing it and that, if its coinage had been prohibited or restricted, he was in favor of resuming and enlarg- ing it's coinage, gave great satisfaction to the advocates of the Bland bill; but they were not so well pleased with his subsequent argument, that although we need both gold and silver dollars, we cannot have both, except by making each the equal of the other On the whole, however, his clear and forcible advocacy of the constitutional and financial necessity of maintaining the double standard has undou tedly given strength tO prospects of the ultimate enactment of the pending bill, as reported from the Committee on Finance notwithstanding that he insist ed that It ought to be further amended, and although in its present shape he himself will vote against it.

Gen. Sherman has taken the trouble to telegraph Gen. Kautz that his remo- val was not intended as a reflection. This is very kind in Sherman and may serve as balm to the sorely yet justly punished Kautz, but it does not change the almost unanimous verdict of condemnation; it does not restore to life the thirty-one murdered white men whose blood cries from the ground for vengeance, nor does it punish the renegade Indians, the worst of whom Kautz himself says he made no effort to capture.

A short time AGO the trustees of a

mise was effected the trustees passed

signed.

this particular case, but this much is
certain. The resolutions say oil in
favor of the Professor in question that
could be said of any man-what more
could be asked than that a Professor
should be able, honest, sound, success
full, and his Christian character above
reproachY If the trustees believed
that these resolutions expressed the
truth, there was no excuse for their
action in trying TO oust the Professor
from bis position, and no ought not to
have resigned. But we more than
suspect that, however true the resolu.
tions may have been, the trustees did
not believe them to be true. 1t ia an
evident case of white. washing. They
weakly consented, in order to get rid
of the Professor, 10 give him certif.

their acts proved them to believe him
