All fairly disposed men who have kept posted on the charges of Pro- lessor Marsh and their investigation, now admit that the Professor was guilty of wanton falsehood and vilifi- cation of good men and officers. The committee appointed to investigate affairs at the Red Cloud Agency, was composed of Republicans and Demo- crsts of high character. and their report was unanimous in acquitting Secretary Delano and Commissioner Smith of all charges made by the meddlesome and untruthful Professor. Referring to Commissioner Smith. the report says;

 We have seen nothing in the course of our investigations that would lead us to any other conclusion than that the present Commissioner earnestly and sincerely desires to perform his duty faithfully to the country. and that during hIs administration the Indian service has reached & higher standard than it has enjoyed since its establishment.

! suggestion, and-as something due to the
great party who passed the civil rights bill,


and also in the interest Of good will among
the races-will give due consideration to
my advice. In this connection 1 venture
another suggestion. From careful observa-
ton at the capital, and from o pe1usal Of
the public journals, there is manifest


party to give us not only full privileges as


citizens, but to demand of us q more
thorough discharge of our political dutles.
Having attained our political majority,


being no longer children, but men, the


party and the country alike are disposed to


exact manly duties at our hands and to


devOlve upon us, as in the instance of the


white citizenship Of the country, the work


OF our political protection. In the manage


ment Of public affairs and party cohcerns


wherein our interests are vitally involved,


the country not only expects, but will honor


the independent, thoughtful selfassertion


on our part that refuses to be treated either


az political children needing guardianship


or that we should devOlve our work upon


others. =.


As a notable instance of desire to treat


US as children, may appropriately refer to
the manner in which the proposed COM
promise was conducted. do not desire to


be understood as approving or opposing the
efforts at adjustment at this juncture. but /
do complain that we, constituting q ma
jority OF the people of this great State, while
negotiations, calculated to seriously affect
us, were in progress, were without single
representative of our people to guard our
interest Perhaps this neglect is partly due
to our Indifference in the exactiOn and exer-
cise Of our political prerogatives, which
neglect tends to lower us in the public
esteem and is well calculated to inspire and
encourage the men who aseume tn harter
and trade in the matter of our rights, with
out 90 much as asking either our consent or
our aid.


Senator Pipchhack then quoted from the
eloquent declaration of Frederick Douglass,
and also from his own prophesies of three
years since. and urging on our antiRepub-
lican friends the consideration that "the
Master proclaims that the OK that treadeth

as follows:


Neither proud nor ashamed of our race,
we are proud of our manhood and perfectly
content to stand where God has placed US

of persons, we stand with the |

most brilliant entertainments Of the
season. Despite the cold weather there
was large attendance of ladies and

Italians of Memphis and credit to the
excellent society which gave it. The
array of beauty present challenged the
admiration of everyone, and seldom
have we seen a ballroom graced by
fairer and lovelier forms. The visitors
were unanimous in their praise of the
excellent manner in which the commit

respect was delightful and unusually in

An inquest was held at St. Mary's on twenty bodies from the steamer Schiller. H. Killers, first officer of the Schiller, testified that at the time the vessel struck Capt. Thomas and another officer were on the bridge. Two men were looking out forward, and two others were on the bridge with the captain.

 The jury rendered verdict of "Acci dentally drowned" coupled with a recommendation that telegraph be es- tablished between Bishops Lighthouse and the shore. They express the opinion that if such communication had existed all on board the Schiller would have been saved. Officers Killers and Poleman concur in this opinion.

 There were saved from the Schiller "only one woman, but ffty-six mail bags" Does not this simple statement seem to show that if the help from the shore could have been sent to the ship by midnight instead of eight hours after midnight, it might have been possible to save at least as many women and chil- dren as Small bags ?'' Mail-bags cer- tainly can neither swim LOT float any bet ter, to put the thing mildly, than women morning were able to take off so many mail-bags might probably enough have taken off as many women and children. But no one on shore knew what was hap. pening until the dawn revealed the spec tral scene; and during the long, long night the women and the children had been all swept into the rising and raging ocean.

A newspaper says: The divers were engaged in fastening planking over the openings which had caused the steam boat Stonington to sink, and their occa- sional appearance above the surface of the water excited great curiosity and interest. The men remained below from two to three hours at a time. Their armor was of the ordinary pattern, made of India rubber, with the exception of the helmet, which is composed of copper, with glass windows through which they obtain light. Around their waists were heavy pieces of iron, of suffi- cient weight to sink them to the proper depth, which was about eighteen feet. The currents of air were furnished by means of rotary pumps, which forced air through rubber tubes to the inside of the armor. The supply was regulated by signals given by the diver, who signlfied desire for more air by one pull upon rope, which was tied to his body, and for diminution of supply by two pulls. The persons at the pump have become so accustomed to the work that they rarely need instructions as to what supply of air is needed. The diver soon becomes able to tell, by the effect upon his lungs, what supply he needs.

 The divers at work stated that they were compelled to do most of their work by feeling, as hardly ray of light pene- trated through the muddy water of tAe river. They succeeded in covering all the holes in the side of the vessel with planking and placed canvas over them so as to make the outside water-tight Two of the divers who were at work say that a short time ago, when they were one hundred feet under water, off the island of Bermuda, the sea wasa5o trans lucent that by writing upon Q slate which they carried, what they needed persons above could readily read wha they wrote, and send them the neces saries without requiring them to come up, except every six hours to obtain their meals.

The New York Herald says: From some of our St. Louis contemporaries we learn that General Frank Blair has twice undergone the operation for the transmission of blood, that the operation was to be performed a third time, and that it had had the happiest effect on the generals condition. Itisthe melancholy experience of that portion of the public which has given the subject any attention that reports of this nature are commonly followed almost immediately by reports of the patients death; for the benefits of the operation of transfusion are in all cases of organic disease as evaDescent as their promise is brilliant; and this result if so clearly logical that for all such cases the operation should be looked upon as inexcusable.

 By this operation blood is transfused from the vessels of healthy subject to the vessels of the patient, and the theory of the operation is plainly enough that in the given case. of disease it is the blood of the patient that is at fault; and so exclusively his blood thatf healthier blood can be substituted his condition will be ameliorated, if his disease is not cured. In all cases of organic disease this has been found to be erroneous practically, while theoretically it is rabid nonsense. If the patient has lost blood by wound the supply by trans fusion may save life. If he is reduced by an an@mic or span@mic condition the supplymay be temporarily advantageous, but the assumptions of the operation do not apply in other cases, certainly not in in those of prolonged disease. General Blair is paralyzed. Either the disease is in his blood or it is not. If it is not, then there is diseased condition of the brain; the machinery of the vital opera, tions is disordered. If the machinery is out of order fresh blood will not change it and will only aggravate the trouble by stimulating 8 crippled organ to activity for which it is unfit and so will hasten the fatal result. But if the disease is in the blood-as transmission seems to as- sume-what then? How long will two, four or six ounces of new blood last . man Two, four or six hours, may be, and then shall there be new transfn. sion2 And if there is not a new trans fusion will not the original incapacity o1 the system to make good blood recur ano reduce the man to the state from whicl he was raised by the stimulus of the small dose of healthy vital fluid Will he not even fall below that condition by reaction from his temporary intoxica tiOn

To the afflicted in body, we offer few words of plain, practical reasoning. No matter under what form of sickness you labor, there is one great truth you should ever keep in mind, viz.: All dis ease originates ill an impure condition of the blood. Purify that, and the dis ease must depart, for it has nothing to feed on; but you cannot purify the blood by the use of poisonous drugs, and exhaustive stimulants; the relief which these afford is temporary and de- captive, leaving you worse off at every interval. The best blood purifier ever discovered is Dr. Walkers famous Vinegar Bitters, compounded of simple herbs. No matter how hopeless your case may seem, try the Vinegar Bitters, and few draughts will convince you of their virtue. Dr. Walker, the dis coverer of this priceless remedy, had been given up to die by the physicians, and is now sound and healthy man from their use.

Thomas Jefferson wrote the following
excellent advice. There is much human
nature and good sense in it: Harmony
in married state is the very first thing
to be aimed at. Nothing can preserve
affection uninterrupted but firm reso-
luton never to differ in will, and the de-
termination of each to consider the love
of the other of more value than any other
earthly object whatever on which a wish
can be fixed. How light, in fact, is the
sacrifice of any wish when weighed
against the affection of one with whom
we are to pass our life. Opposition in
single instance will hardly Of itself pro-
duoe alienation; this only takes place
when all the oppositions are put, as it
were, in a pouch, which, while it is fill
ing, the alienation is insensibly going
on, and when full it is complete. It
would puzzle either to say who, because
no one difference of opinion has been
marked enough to produce o serious
effect itself. The affections are wearied
out by constant stream of little OBJ
stacies. Other sources of its discomfort,
very common, indeed, are the little pur-
pose of husband and wife in common
conversational disposition in either to
criticize and question what the other
says-a desire always to demonstrate and
make the other feel in the wrong, espe-
cially in company. Nothing is 30 goad-
ing. Much better, therefore, If our
companion views thing in different
light from what we do, leave him in the
quiet possession Of his views. What is
the use of rectifying him if the thing be
unimportant Let it pass for the pres
ent and wait n softer moment and con-
ciliatory occasion of reviewing the sub
ject together. It is wonderful how many
persons are rendered unhappy by mat
tention to tho little rule Of prudence.
