Not a great while ago it was an nounced with a great flourish of trum pets that the hostile tribes of the Rocky Mountains had all yielded and had signed a treaty of peace, and were very aaxious to properly bchavo themselves hereafter. JJut late tele" graphic accounts state that somo of the tribes are again becoming restive, and that "Spotted Tail" declares that if tho United States do not observe their treaties better ho will dig up tho hatchet and tako to tho war-trail again. "Tho farco of Indian treaties should T)0 entirely abandoned, and tho sava ;ges be taught that they are not inde pendent nations, but the subjects of the United States; and that while they are amenable to our laws, they ;aro entitled to our protection. It is useless to expect the whites ?and Indians to live together in peace. 'In revenge for savage barbarities, the frontier settlers kill the Indians with out much regard to their individual innocence or guilt. The military are powerless to prevent this, and the courts will not punish a white man for killing an Indian. As a conse quence the Indians retaliate by mur dering innocent whites, without re gard to sex. or age. Tho only way in which this mur derous frontier war can be terminated is, cither to kill off all the Indians en tirely, or remove them to large aud well-defined reservations, placed en tirely under military authority, and to exclude .all white settlers there from. Unless some plan like this be adopted, there will not be au Indian left, fifty years hence, to chant a war ong, to dance a war-dance, or to ex hibit the scalps he has taken in battle Jjj his prowess. PRE&IDEXT GISAXT. Grant assumes the sceptre in the rimdst of an unparalleled deluge of flattery and servility, coming from the same party who, four years ago, were licking the very boots of Johnson. Grant, like Johnson, is a renegade Democrat elected by the party to whom he is naturally opposed. He' has, says a cotemporary, the same el ements to contend with that destroy ed Johnson, the same unscrupulous, malignant, corrupt and audacious rev olutionists who subverted Johnson's administration, and usurped for them selves the different branches of the Government, and rendered nugatory the original principles of the Govern , ment. If Grant drifts with them as he probably will they will consent to make him the einperor they liave been seeking for several years past.; but if he fails to follow them by ob serving his oath of office in the spirit in which it i3 prescribed by the Con stitution, he must suffer the opprobri um which is now heaped on Johnson, or, for self-preservation, crush the .party which elected him. ABOUND THE WOULD. In the course of a few months more, it will be within the power of every man who can command as much as 1,-500, to make a trip around the world. When the railway across the continent to the Pacific ocean shall be .completed, there will be constant con veyance by means of railways and mail packets for passengers desiring to travel round the world. This grand tour will be 32,000 miles in length, and will cost $1,500, and will be ac complished in about eighty days. 'The American tourist will be able to visit England, Japan, Ceylon, and Egypt. He will cross tho Atlantic, North Pacific, and Indian Oceans, the Red and Meliterranean Seas, the con tinents of America, and tho delta of , Egypt. lie will be able to leave New York, say the beginning of 3Iay, and and to arrive home again about the .middle -cf July. ANDY JOHNSON 3fOT DEAD. Since our last issue the telegraph circulated the statement, far and wide, that Andrew Johnson died of paraly sis in Springville, Tennessee; but sub sequent dispatches contradict this re port: he is not dead bat is prostra ted by an attack of neuralgia. If ho recover he will have the rare fortune . of reading numberless obituaries of himself, just as General Shields did after having been shot through the lungs at the battle of Cerro Gordo in Mexico. ' A COMPLIMENTARY AFFAIR. In Ottumwa, Iowa, not long ago, a negro was, by a Radical judge, order ed out of the jury-box, where ho had been drawn with the other citizens.- Iowa lately voted equality to the blacks, but the first attempt to make a juror of one results in his being ousted. The learned judge said ;- "The election was a complimentary ' affair noi inienaea 10 conjer actual benefits, and it is premmptGUs for any negro to claim place or position white ncn are only Jit iof.ll ItADICAL RROTIIERL.Y LOVE. The leading radical members of con gress do not exactly appreciate tho fact that it "is pleasant for brethren to dwell together in unity." They quarrel, and growl, and snarl, and snap at each other like so many dogs. Colfax and Morton, of Indiana, bit terly denounce each other, and if what they say of each other bo true, ncith of tlicni is fit for the position beholds. You can provo by Morton that Colfax is a trickster, an impostcrand a knave and you can provo by Colfax that Morton is a good deal more. The Washington correspondent of the (Jin cinatti EnquiiCt who knows whereof ho speaks, gives the following account of the personal relations of a number of leading radical members of Con gress : "I don't know why it is, but there is a cordiality of hatred and a recip rocity of contempt between the great men of tlic radical party in the Sen ate, that, if fully known, would aston ish most people. Fesf.enden hates Sumner, and says in private conver sation he's a fool. Simmer hates Fcs senden, and says he's n wretch. Har lan hates Grimes, and says he's a man of no principle Grimes hates Har lan, and says hes a swindler. Wade hates Sherman, and says he's a politi cal coward. Sherman well, John hasn't blood enough in him for cither love or hate. Conn ess hates Cole (they arc both radicals from Califor nia, remember,) and calls him all tho civil names ho can think of. Cole re ciprocates the iavor by giving, as his private opinion of Ooaness, that he is the biggest scoundrel unhung. Trum bull talks of Yates as. a drunken fool, and Yates talks of Trumbull as a sober sneak. If what Williams, of Oregon, says of Corbett, of Oregon, bo true, Corbett, of Oregon, ought to be in a lunatic asylum; ami. if what Corbett, of Oregon, says of Williams, of Ore gon, !e true, Williams of Oregon, ought to be iu the State's prison. And O ! ye Gods, listen to Drake talk of Ins newly elected colleague, the hum ble Sch u rz he of the unfathomable German mind and the metaphysical German countenance the disciple of Kant and the countryman of Schiller. "A Dutch infidel" "an unprincipled interloper" "a political adventurer" and all the names with which the radical tonguo can grace its speech when it gets elicited. I have not yet heard the honorable Hon. Carl's opin ion of Drake; but if he stops short of calling him a I d fool, he will do him great unjn slice." 3LEEAX CHC IV D EM OK.lLIZ.i TION'. It was. the shamel sss boast of the Itump Congress, expressed through their great leader, Thaddcus Stevens, whose soul his political friends profess to LcHctc is now resposiog in Heaven, that they legislated outside of tlie Constitution ; that is, they perjured themselves by enactments that were in violation of that instrument. That they have "been doiDg so continually, ever since the advent to power of Liucola, 13 well known to all intelligent persons. And what are tho consequences ? Just what should have expected. A general demoralization in every department of Government and in every sphere of life. The State Journal, the organ of that party here, says that all laws regulating the rate of interest and loaning of money, although enacted to control the actions and restrain the vcDality of the men of wealth, and oi course tlic leaders of soci ety, are not only daily violated but entire ly disregarded. Indeed, la the opinion of the Journal, sc. demoralized has thi3 class of society become, that its editors declare that t-uerc b no use whatever in trying to restrain! them from the viola tions of the law when that law is in con met witb their interest. Hence that paper di'approves of all legislation against usurer, and characterizes them as a dead letter, and utterly worthless. A New York Republican paper saya: "The excise law is a farce;" "there is no more drinkiog on the sly on Sundays in the large saloons." It will bo recollected ihr.t the entire police force of Xcw York is ultra Republican, holding their posi tions by the IlepuMican party in power at Allan v. Still another Republican paper in Bos ton cries out against law for the punish ment of gambling; and eays, "Why leg islate against gambling? The laws up on this subject are a dead letter-let them be wiped off from the statute book; they are so much useless lumber, amd only in vite people to become law breakers, und thus tend to demoralize society. A short time ago, in a Chicago paper, which we take to be sort of free-love, pu ritanical organ, conducted with no mean ability, - we read a strong remonstrance against what it termed "the unnatural and illogical laws of matrimony." urging as an argument against them that they "only led to disregard of nature and de manded their speedy repeal." Laws against public prostitution are strongly denounced in some quarters ; and loyal Iter. Gaddis, when a member of the Ohio Legislature, eloquently advo cated the licensing of a sufficient number of houses of public prostitution to meet the wants of the largest cities I Shocking as arc the above statements of of facts, they are only "the surface indi cations " of the depths of degradation to which Republican politics and puritan hypocrisy have sunk the country in less than eight years of usurpation and tyr anny. Ohio Crisis. 2?- The newspapers are publishing the following about Staaton, Some of them insist that it is true : "Stanton has the asthma, and what is worse, when the spasms seize him till he is black irthe face, he imagines that the fingers of Mrs. Surratt are at his throat, or some other of his murdered bastilo vic tims." 3 A radical,- down in Connecticut, offers himself to his party friends, as n candidate for office, in a card in the news papers, as iollows ; - "I will reprizent you in tho stati cs- otu""Di iiiespucs vi poiiyucsj reigion or edicashun."

They will the more highly appreciate tho efforts heinjr mado for tho estab lishment of such au one within our own State. Tho address to which wo have already referred, embraces a statement of tho different callings and number of men cmnlovcd iroi. exchange, arranged alphabetically form "Architect" to "YVhitewaHher,, filling ono hundred and seventy-eight different occupations, together with the ju ices at which each icrson had been employed. Tho aditrcss Bays : Tho table exlfibits what kind otla bor is most iu demand and what is most valuable. Carpenters, for in titmice, wcro largely in demand as they must necessarily bo in a country where now towns aro Hpringitig upev cry month, and a new farm is fenced iu nearly every day and they rc cieved as tho reward ot their labor i'.l to $1 a day iu gold, or its equiva lent. It will also bo seen that em ployment was found for 5,.1jI ordina ry laborers, at wages from I 60 to a day. Of course tho table referred to in tho above is too lengthy for us to publish. Wo have, however, colla ted from it sufliciently to show what an iinmeiifto work for California, tho exchange is accomplishing. And what has been said has only had reference to the male department. Iklow go give an extract of a dif ferent character : FKMAI.K Ii:fAt:TMi:NT. Tho operations of this Department have, ns far as practicable, been con fined to the procurement of Mutable places iu the country districts for wo men and girls. From this source the demand has been constant and persist ent, beinir very lamely iu excess of tho suiM'ly. The iv'islcr shows that from the 7th of July, lhOH(the dale of the com intnecment of tho Female Depart ment), to December aist, IfiCJ, Mtua lions were procured furl', I. '57 females of various occupations. 1 hce per Hons represent all the civilized nation alities. The tabic in this department how that in Homo lo.cii or more branchc i f i t . . . .i oi lemaic emtiovmtni, me iiiees ranged from SlO to 00 per month and that although the demand is hlill in excess oi tho supply, prices arc moderate. Jti:it think of it. In the short space of hix month', employment has been given to -2,137 kmale, and that too without their being subjected to charge of a single cent. The address continues with an ex tended reference to farm, prices of land, of improvements, grain growing, climate, rain guagc, educational faeil lie, cot of the necc.nfearies of life with bill of fare, ttr, ic. These, with one or two exceptions, are not partic uhuly interesting in the view iu which we undertook to give some extracts from the address; that h, in showing the immense increase in population and wealth California is securing through the instrumentality of her La bor and Kmployment Kxchange, un- systemtized as it evidently is, com pared with the plan proposed in our own State.

It ruptures the spine in the immediate neighbor hood of the mctitlla olAonytttit and breaks up the communication of the nerve force or vital power to the or gans that carry on tho human machin ery. If the man's neck is not broken, the first action of the cord is to close tho trachea, or windpipe and thus stop tho suppiy of air. It also com presses the largo veins in the neck which return blood to the heart the iujnilars but does not entirely com- press tlic large arteries mat carry me blood to the brain, for these lie deep er. The immediate physiological ef fect is a congestion of tho brain a congestion not dissimilar to that of driHiknness, which is generally re garded as agreeable, and tho consc ience of this congestion a conse quence that perhaps follows in three minut es after the pressure of the cord is felt is the total abolition of conscious sensation. The man may struggle and writhe in a way terrible to sec, but these convulsions aro generally painful only to tho beholder. There fore, if a man is hanged successfully, lie feels only tho ono sickening sensa tion of the plunge before ho gets to the end of tho ropo; three seconds of horror. If ho is hanged unsuccess fully, by strangulation, ho feels tho samo three seconds, and, in addition, btween the pressure of tho cord and deep congestion of tho brain, threo minutes of swimming, drowsy, un certain uneasiness ; at the worst three minutes and thrco seconds ; and this is all wc give of misery to murderers. Compare with this tho pain that man suffers beforo he dies from any ordi nary illness, tho drawn out wretched ness of 3 weeks of fever, tho days of agony with rheumatism and the bent forward, restless nights beforo this rheumatism finally brings his dam aged heart to a standstill, tho months of slow death by a cancerous stomach; in fine compare tho history of any fa- lUl UlBULlttO Willi UlU HUUlb BUI III; 01 hanging, and then reflect our humani ty obliterates tho murderer's ' threo minutes and thrco seconds by tho use of chloroform, really it is a fine age, and if a man is tired of this world and wants to get out of it on easy terms, tho thing for him to do is to cut his neighbor's throat and be hanged under chloroform. . An Ohio editor is getting particular what ho eats. Ho says: "The woman who made the butter which we bought last week is respectfully requested to use more judgment in proportioning the ingredients. Tho last batch had too much hair in in for butter and not quito enough for a waterfall. Thero is no sgusq in making yourself baldheaded, if butter is 35 cents a pound, t'ALIFOKNIA LAIIOll II Y TEI4K WKAI'II. couriLEDfnoHfiiB oncoos beiuld Washington, March 20. -In tho Sen ate, a bill was passed extending the char ter of tho city of YVnshington.

Cookl'inix artrucd generally against the bill. 11c opposed any legislation for the reduction of tho bank circulation in any part of tho country. Williams said tuo withdrawal ot circu lation froui certain Str.tc proposed by the Finance Committee would be a breach of faith. Hhcrman defended the bill, denying that it proposed injustice to any portion of the country. He objected to the amendments of Williams aud YVilson, be cause they involved the question of fund ing greenbacks which implied a return to specie payment. .Snrai'uo opposed the bill, claiming that it would not afford the premised relief to the South. Morton ftftoke at Icnrrih in defence of the bill, opposing the amendment of Wil on, which he characterized a4 substan tially a proposition for the Treasury to disburse $-,500,000 annually to allow New Knland the undisturbed enjoyment of an unjustly largo proportion of the bankuig circulation, and it proposed this also in direct violation of the act to strengthen the public credit. Morton was followed by icssenden, in opposition to Williams' amendment, which was then rejected. After further discussion the Senate went into Executive Region, after which it took up and passed the bill to abolish tho office of Chief of Staff, and adjourned until Monday. In the House, Ranks, From tho Com mittco on Foreign Affairs, reported a joint resolution, declaring the sympathy of the people of tho United States fur tho people of Cuba, and that Congress will sustain the President when lie deems it expedient to rccognic the independence and sovereignty of the Republican Gov ernment. 1'otncroy introduced a bill to protect tho rights of actual settlers upon the public domain. After the ha i cess of the morning hour, there being a call of the various commit tees fur privato bills, Cessna from the Committee of Klections, reported that Covodc had a prima facie right to the seat from tho Twenty-first District of Pcnnslyvania. 1'aine. on behalf of four members of the committee, made an opposite report. Roth reports were ordered printed. Rutler cajlcd up his motion to ro-con-sidcr tho vote referring the Tcnure of OfTico Repeal Rill to the Judiaiary Com mittee, and suggested to add to the House Rill a section requiring the President to return all nominations to Congress within thirty d2vs after being made. Consider able sparring ensue J, Garfield and Farns worlh speaking of Butler, Logan and others, as having allied themselves with tuo ueraocrats on mis measure, which charge Logan refuted. After considerable discussion back and forth in which a slight passage at arms occurred between Rutler and Bingham, Rutler moved tho previous question, which the IIouso refused to second, tho Democrats voting in tho - negative, a cir cumstance to which Butler called attcn- tion, asking "whero aro our allies now." Bingham mado ono hour's speech in favor of concurring in tho Senate amend ment, arguing that it was substantially a repeal of tho law. Tho debate was continued by Davis, Garfield, Schcnck, Blair and others, and finally at fivo o'clock tho debates closed. Tho vote of rcferenco was reconsidered tho IIouso refused to concur in tho Scnato amendment, by ayes 70, noes 99.

Ho is now notifed by the Infernal Rcvcauc ofticcr of thh dhtrict after tho 15th proximo this tobacco will all be con fiscated if it is not newly covered with stamp at the rata of S2 C2ts per pound, for chewing, and 10 cects per pound for' smoking, and "ho wants to know, you: know," if this can be right. The tobac co has paid the ta once, and he cannot sec why it should pay it again because it was kept on hand after a certain date This is in the new law, however, and he must sell of this ctock before the dato limited, re-stamp it, or have it confiscated, and the government he lives nndcr is go far free that he "takes his choice' He. may not think this is fair; wc don't think it is ; but he has no recourse, and may as well submit. The object is, to be sure that no new tobacco k sold without being stamped, and all ia anybody's hands after a certain date, h presumed to hi new, al though it bears the unmbta'rablc evidence of being old acd of h?.ving paid odc tax.
