Indian Suf-
O
The telegraph reports that the Indian
and Territorial Committees of the House
are each considering a bill to organize a
system of civil government in the Indian
Territory. It is proposed to create a new
Territory, with a Governor and other usu
al officers. Mr. Cullom's bill calls it Liiw
coin, and Mr. Van Horn s Alakahoma.
The chief feature of each bill gives suffrage
to the IndMns. Legislative authority is
vested in a council every tribe to have

The prospects are tint such a bill will car

Mr. Wells Report.
A telegram of the 10th inst says :
The greater portion of the morning was
consumed by Scott in refuting the. orders
and statements by the Special Commision
er of Internal Revenue, particularly as to
the cost of the manufacture of pig iron.
This is characteristic of the corrupt
Congressmen whose whole object and only
wish appear to be the degredation and
ruin of this country, and that out of such
ruin they may become millionaires. Why
was not WelLr report printed in full and
sent abroad with other Congressional doc
uments? o
To anwser this inquiry is, by no means,
a difficult undertaking. The answer is
found in the fact that Mr. Wells' report
gives certain facts and calculations which
cannot be refuted, and these facts and cal
culations tell terribly against the extrava
gant and destructive policy of the Repub
lican pat ty. Hence, instead of giving h"i3
reporto the pr.blic, so that the public
may judge correctly of its truthfulness or
facility the document is suppressed, and
true to their policy of deception and fraud,
the Radical members are endeavoring to
counteract its damaging influence on that
party by denouncing the report, itself, as
false. Such conduct on the part of Con
gress will, no doubt, be very acceptable
to thatches of Republicans who would
willingly sacrifice truth, honor, and every
thing else that is right, for the purpose of
retaining that party in power. But to the
houest and patriotic members of that par
ty, who desire to see the government hon
estly and economically administered, this
suppression of facts, this gag law. and in-
, stead of giving the report, hurl unfounded
; chfirges at Commissioner Wrlls. will be
tW but acccptabie. if the people
... ' . .,
can see this report and then read the ani-
. 1 -
madversions and arguments of Congress-
menCOpon the document, they can form a
correct judgment as to which party is
right. The Radical Congressmen are
aware of this and are afraid of the peo
ples verdict, and hencee Mr. Wells' re
port is suppressed.
Kcw Xaturaliza.tion Law,
G
A bill for a flew naturalization law has
c
been introduced in Congress, and is now
before the House Judiciary Committee.
The public has not yet been favored with
the text of the bill, but specials report
that its principal features are to take the
matter from the State Courts and put it
into the hands of United States officers.
Four years continual residence, prior to
application will be required. This is an
other absorption of the liberties of the
people by the centralization of all power
in the general government.
But, notwithstanding the reports of the
specials, we are well satisfied that the fore
going are not the only Republican char
acteristics impressed upon, this bill. In
the Senate Schurz has introduced a joint
resolution providing that no State which
has not received its proportion of lands,
donated by the United States for agricul
tural and mechanical colleges, shall in fu
ture receive such lands, unless the colleges
shall be free to all without regard to race
or color. 0
There can be little doubt that this joint
resolution will pass with the usual Repub
lican majority. These agricultural and
mechanical institutions arc erected for the
double purpose of giving the sons of farm
ers and mechanics a good English educa
tion, and instructing them in the mechan
ical arts and the science of farming. But,
if this resolution passes, the States will
lose the land donated to them for such in
stitutions, or these young men, the sons of
farmers, mechanics and others who wish
to attend them, will be compelled to at
tend these institutions on a common level
with negroes' Indians and Chinamen.
Degradation of the white race, that it may
be on an equality with all the inferior
races,is a favorite theory with the radicals.
This being so, we cannot believe that a
Radical Congress will leave out of the
new naturalization law their favorite poli
cy of " without regard to race gr color."
Every movement of that party shows
that its leaders are laboring arduously for
the enfranchisement of all the inferior
races, as a means of retaining control of
th? government, and we can rest assured
that they will not omit this, to them, im
portant feature in the proposed new nat
uralization law.
Mr. Seward in Mexico.
The Sacramento
Record of Feb.
1st
says :
The officials of Mexico pay Mr. Seward,
great attention, but the "pooDle distrust
mm greatly.
And it might have truthfully added that
such is the case in the United States, also.
The officials of the party which is in pow
r and striving fqr imperialism, together
with the sycophants of that party seeking
office, pay ex-SecretarySeward marked at
tention. But the people distrust him, and
well they may distrust, not only him. but
also the party of which he is a shining
light, for it is the great object of that par
ty, as well as himself, to ejnslave the labor
ing and producing classes for the ag
grandizement of the officials and wealthy.
Such is loyal Unionism.
The people of Mexico have had a sad
experience of the workings of loyalty to
royalty, and they readily recognize its
hideous form, even if it presents itself in
a person professing to be in favor of V
publican form of government. The people
of the United Stales will do well to take
a lesson in this matter from the people of
Mexico. The people meant in the above
etxract are the producing classes.
In a case of marital senaratinn in r-;
cinnati, the plaintiff addressed the court
juuge, sua sne, l can't love dat thar
nigger ; he kicked me in de ribs once until
he loosened all my insides. and when dat
occurred my affection for him vanished."'
The County Court.
We dislike very much to criticise the
action of officers with whom we have to
transact business. But duty to oursclf,
and and our duty as a journalist, compel
us to direct attention to these gross viola
tions of law and right which sometimes
mark the actions of officers in this county.
It is true these officers are Republicans,
and it may be charged that we criticise
their actions for a political purpose. To
the honest man. whether he is a politician
or not, this wUlmake no difference, for we
propose to give facts, from which every
person can draw his own conclusions;
and we will further say that these facts
are of such a nature that they cannot be
successfully controverted. Now to the
point. -
It will be remembered that some two
months since, the County Court refused to
allow Sheriff Myers mileage for going to
the advertised places to collect taxes.
This might be well enough, if the Court
would practice the same economy in re
gard to other officers", on the Republican
side of the house ; but it does not.
By referring to the proceedings of the
County Court, found in to-day's paper, it
will be seen that the Court has allowed
Dr. F. Barclay, coroner of this county,
$12: 45 for holding an inquest on the body
of an unknown person, found at Milwau
kee, six miles below this place, and al
lowed Cram, Willis & Broughton $5 50
for horses and carriage used by the cor
oner on that occasion, making a total of
$17 05 allowed the coroner. By turning
to section 5, page 73G of the code, it will
be sen that for taking an inquest con
cerning the death or wounding of any
person, the coroner shall be entitled to a
fee of five dollars. Where, then, does the
County Court get the authority to allow
him $12 45 for holdicg the inquest, and
$5 50 additional for carriage hire? It
will not do to say that this extra compen
sation is for burying the body, for the
same court proceedings show that John
Packer is paid $5 00 for marking coffin
and burying the body.
Why the Court should allow the coroner
such extra compensation is more than we
can understand, unless we can account
for it on the ground that Dr. Barclay is
very loyal to the Republican party. The
Court is vesy economical when it is con
sidering the claims of Democrats, and very
extravagant in its allowances to Repub
licans. Now we ask, in all candor, if it is not
better to have . officers who. in the dis
charge of their official duties, will be gov
erned by law, rather than by party preju
dice? We would also suggest that the
tax payers furnish the money that is thus
lavished upon party pets, and that it
might be well for the public to secure
officers who would not use the people's
money so freely and unlawfully for party
friends. The only way to do this is to
elect Democrats.
Fraud 5 Fraud ! "Let us have Peace.'
From the Clear Bake Courier.
This is a blessed country, with the '-best
Government the world ever paw."' admin
istered by the most unprincipled, infa
mous horde of fanatics and thieves the sun
ever shone upon.
Grant is President.
Congress is superloyal, so loyal that it
has no time to be honest, and wouldn't be
if it could.
Everywhere there is fraud. No matter
in what direction W3 may turn, the peo
ple are being robbed ; while they work,
while they sleep ; in the daylight, in the
; night, there is nothing but plunder, and
robbery and ftaud !
Tliis it is iole loyal.
Moses II. Grinnell gave Grant money
to help elect him, and gave him nice pre
sents to tickle his softest parts, and Grin
nell was appointed Collector of the Port
of New York. It made no difference to
Grant or to any one of his party whether
Grinnell was fit for the position, or that
he was an honest man ; it was only neces
sary for Grant to know that Grinnell had
given him things of value.
In the Custom-house Grinnell gathered
about him such others as were pleasing Co
the eye of Grant, for the gifts they had
made him.
And now look at it.
The Custom-house is one reeking mass
of frauds frauds so barefaced and infa
mous that even the papers of the admin
istration party dare not undertake their
defence. ea
In New Orleans. Grant has a brolher-in-law,or
a cousin, named Casey. It was
not that lis was honest and capable, a
good citizen and a respected man, but
that he was a relative, that he was ap
pointed Collector for the Port of New
Orleans. Mark the result there.
Frauds have distinguished the adminis
tration of Casey. Some of hfs subordi
nates are up for fraudulent transactions
in sugar weighing, and the affair has be
come so Lot for Casey that he has gone to
Washington to see Ulysses about it.
Grinnell is not removed because there
is no one out of fat position -who gave
Grant a better present than he, to put in
his place.
Casey is nofcremoved because Grant has
no relative now unprovided for to take
the position.
This it is to have peace, and an admin-
istration of economy.
With less than a year of such adminis
tration, the country has become sick and
tired, and long before the term of Grant
has expired, there frauds of his incompe
tent', imbecile appointees will have ruined
:Hn country or the party which elected
him.
