Iflarlan County and ike seventeentH Regiment. The Journal of yesterday had an editorial of three columns long In regard to the failure of the city authorities to fulfill Its contract with the Seventeenth Regiment for bounties for re-enllstroent. Wo know nothing about the arrangement further than the city waa short of Its quota upon the draft ordered by the President to be; drawn In March, 1864, and that the city council made vigorous efforts to Dll It. The Journal admits that the mayor received a telegraphic dispatch on the 2d of January, 1864, from “Pulaski,” from “John T. McLaohlin,” inquiring, “ If I enlist in Seventeenth Indiana, from Indianapolis, will I get the local bounty. Answer.” The Journal soys this Inquiry was answered as follows: To this tbo mayor answered January 2, I8»;t, that we pay tbo local bounty to all who arc credited on the muster rolls to the city of Indianapolis, county, city and ward bounties. Tbo Journal attempts to quibble out of the matter by stating that the mayor supposed that the dispatch was simply to have the mooted point determined, if the muster roll in one locality showed a credit, whether It made a difference if the the recruit came from another county. And it also adds: -The inference also was that the dispatch came from Pulaski, Indiana, as the only evidence of whero :t came from was the word “Pulaski,” and tao in»yor, knowing there was a town of that name In Indiana, supposed. of, course, there was whero it came

irom.”

It is singular, if such was Ihe impression of the mayor, that the dispatch should have promptly found its proper destination, Pulaski, Tennessee, and that his answer should have been so satisfactory as to induce the reenllstment of the regiment to the creditor Indianapolis. The Journal says that all the inducements efi'ered by tbo city for filling Us quota •under the draft then called, was a bounty of J.'i 1 ) to each man. With this statement the Evansville Courier takes issue. It say* upon this point: We have seen with our own eyes tho dispatch Irom Mayor Cavcn to the regiment, oflv-ring tlvm ij'pH) u m .n if they would re-en-ll»l and credit themselves to tho city of Indianapolis :»nd Marion county. Tho regiment accepted the, proposition thus made them—reeniuted and credited themselves to Marion county—and received a portion of the amount tendered, to wit: ,*.'>0 each. The payment of this first instalment was an acknowledgment— a final ratification of the contract on the part of the authorities of the city amt county. But the remaining $350 a piece have not been paid, but are repudiated by the radical authorities of this exceedingly loyal city and county.” This statement involves a question of vcrac- j Ity. The Journal denies most explicitly that j Mayor Caven offered any such Inducements to fill the city’s quota, while the Courier j avers with equal positiveness that tho Mayor’s 1 dispatch offered ^ 100 a man for re-enlistment and credit to Indianapolis and JIarlon county, i The dispatch Itself, will determine the coutro- J vrray and the Courier says it has seen it with | in own eyes. The Journal makes another issue or point in tho controversy, by plaeingfThe rc-enllst-ment of the Seventeenth Indiana and its credit to Indianapolis and Marion county upon ‘•loyal” and “patriotic” grounds. lu so doing it concedes that the re-enlistment was placed to the credit of the city. It says: Any one reading Noionel Wilder’s address at the reception of January 26, setting forth th» noble and patriotic motives that induced the Seventeenth lo re-cnlist, his remarks being •• received with frequent demonstrations of satisfaction by the regiment,” must feel that the charges which have been made against the regiment, that tiiey enlisted for boumies, does the. rigiment great injustice. But on tbo seventh of March following Col. on< I \VTm>eii places a different phase upon the matter, according to the Jorvuui's own showing. It appears that upon that date he presented the following petition to the council: ‘•I respectfully petition your honorable body, in behalf of the ITth Indiana Regiment, who are accredited to the city of Indianapolis, as a part of its quota subject to the draft, that they be paid such bounties as have been given by the city for those who have Live!- fore enlisted, and credited accordingly.” This shows that the reeniiMmont was credited to tho city and if not for the draft then pending, as the C'olond said in his speech to tbo council on the same evening that the petition was presented, that it was under the suppllmentil call, “while the men were not getting the bounty that has been paid toothers.” The Colonel also said: ••They are not satisfied with this, as counties from which many of them enlisted are now paying bounties. Their object in being credited to Indianapolis, was to avoid screening any from the draft, but as the effect of their enlistment had been to do this, in the case of this city, they now feci entitled to the same bounty that has been paid to others.” So It appears that the ••'patriotic motives” for re-enlistment, which Colonel Wilpeu set forth in his January reception speech, was merely buncombe, a “rhetorical flourish,” and that the men at the time of re-enlistment, which was placed to the credit of Indianapolis, expected the same consideration, the same bounty that other counties were paying for enlistments, or substitutes, to till their quotas under tho draft. There is evidently justice and equity in tho claim p^ented by the men of the Seventeenth Indiana who rc-enlisted for the benefit of Indianapolis, or else the Journal would not present an elaborate argument to resist and overcome it, The Evansville Courier says that the most, if not all the men making the claim against the city, are Republicans, and this gives an interest to the controversy, for it Is a contest over “patriotic motives,” and as the city authorities were Republican, their treatment of these men is another evidence of their professed regard for the ‘-boys in blue.”

Spade payments eaa not ke safely rnsnmsd until fomecomprebeastye sad wail considered financial policy is adopted, which will prepare the country tor the great change which will follow the contraction of the present inflated currency to a subatantlal basis. And to accomplish that end, there must also be a great reduction in the public expendltuies, and rigid economy in the administration of the Government. Debt and taxation must be lint materially diminished to enable the people to adapt themselves to the changed condition of affairs that a resumption of specie payments

would occasion.

A Radical Senatnr. Senator Drake, of Missouri, a very prominent radical, has fired the first gun at Washington on the nigger question, In the shape of a five column letter, in reply to a pamphlet by Rzvkrdy Johnson, on the subject of reconstruction. As tbts man Drake ia a fair specimen of a Southern radical “freedom shrieker” and reconstructed border ruffian, it may not be uninteresting to learn something about him from one who knew him when radicalism was not so popular as at the present time. “Mack,” of the Cincinnati Commercial, thue speaks of the letter, and photo-

graphs the man:

The sum and substance of Mr. Drake’s effervescence is, that Congress has a right to reconstruct Southern State governments as it pleases, and that the loyal negro is the political superior of the rebel white. I recollect tho time when the loyal negro found a very poor friend in the person of Mr. Drake. During the winter of 1858-9,1 was in Jefferson City, Missouri, as a newspaper correspondent. M r. Drake was a member of the Legislature and was as far out on the extreme end of the proslavery Democratic line then, as he is on the radical Republican line. Then, as now, his style was artesian, and his orations sempiternal. He was a sort of pious and aristocratic border ruffian, and for some remarks on his conduct and course of action during that session, It was twice inhumanly proposed to deny me the privileges of the floor. On one occasion be supported and voted for a proposition to sell into slavery every free negro, and his and her descendants, who bad come into the State since 1857, or should thereafter come into It. Those who are curious on this subject will find Mr. Drake’s vote recorded on it in the journal of tho House of Representatives ot uiaaourt, for the session of 1858-9, which can be found in any well regulated public library. Not content with warning free negroes against entering the State in the future, this measure enacted that every one of that unfortunate class already there should be caught bv tbe sheriff and put up at public auction. What a wonderful change of heart, to transform the kidnapper of 1859 Into tbe philanthropist of 1867! During that same winter the railroad system of Missouri was an important topic of legislation, and Mr. Drake’s chief point was to encourage the construction of some lino that would relieve the chivalry of Mis e nu. r i, of whom be was one, from tbe disagrrejble necessity of patronizing Yankee road* in traveling to the capital of the nation.

IH>bt and Taxation. Tbe resnlt of the elections of this year has bad the effect to change tbe financial notions of a portion of tbe radical party. The squeak of repudiation so common in the radical press and stump speeches before tbe election is now scarcely beard, and when it is,it is so faint and timid as to appear both ludicrous and ridiculous. \ year ago tbe propositions that were Introduced at the opening ot this session of Congress by members from New England, pledging the Government to pay all the bonds In gold, would have met with general approval from tho radical Congressmen, but now it is regarded with disfavor upon that side of the bouse. Two of tbe most prominent radical members of the lower branch of Congress decidedly oppose any change in the character or conditions of tbe bonded debt, and they take the position that unless it is expressed otherwise in the bond, the debt is payable in the “ lawful money ” of tho country. We understand that the radical Representative from this district is in favor of an expansion of paper money, and the s”’>.sii;utlon of greenbacks for the nations! oank currency. Afewweeksago a continuation meeting of leading Republicans of the State was held in this city, in which a division of sentiment was developed upon tbe financial questions before the country. A portion of those present were in favor of occupying the Democratic ground upon the currency and public debt questions and repudiating the policy adopted by Congress In regard to the contraction of the currency. The leading radical papers in the West, tbe Cincinnati Gazette and Chicago Tribune, place themselves In decided opposition to any measures which contemplate an early return to specie payments, and which would necessarily result, If adopted, in increasing the burdens of debt and taxation. Even some of tbe Eastern radical papers that represent the moneyed Interests of tbs country express themselves In opposition to tbs present Treasury policy. This Is certainly a conossexpressed mrougn we flieni out potent agenay of the ballot box. lion of both the public debt and tbe burdens flnaactal affairs it seems strange that tbs peltate a geld bearing Interest debt staratd be would be to pay tbe currency debt as fast aa out disturbiaf tbo bustaew affaire of tbe coon- , of 250 and over. A contraction of tbe

The times change, and men change with tbe limes. Tne war made an intensely loyal man out ot Mr. Drake. If it bad shortened his wind a little, it would have effected a still more beneficial change in him. Africanization of the South. The attempt now making te Africanize the South has turned the attention of tbe white men of this country to the results of similar experiments in other countries. In this connection, the New York Herald, in the course of an article showing how the radical theory of reconstruction is making a combination of Hayti and Jamaica in tbe South, says: In Hayti wo have nothing but a war of races since Its discovery by Columbus. From the negro Emperor, Jacques I, in 1804, to tbe present ruler, Salnave,the Haytlen part of the island has presented even a worse condition than that which is presented in the long years of wholesale Spanish murders which made its horrors a proverb. How rapidly the country marches to the primitive barbarism, which is the delight of the negro race, is best shown by the value of exports just previous to tbe accession of Jacques I, compared with those of to-day. At that time they reached the large figure of $27,818,000. To-day they are scarcely $8,000,000. But if Hayti exhibits a sorry argument for negro domination, what does Jamaica show ? Since the island was given up to negro rule, its march has been rapid from bad to worse, until to-day one of the finest and formerly one of the most productive of all the West India group lies but a wreck in negro hands. All this has taken place in thirty-four years, notwithstanding the efforts of the English Government to prevent it. And how of Liberia ? Large sums of money, Christian and missionary effort unlimited, have been used to little advantage. The negro there, forced Into a hot house growth, and kept upon the plus side of civilization by a constant white effort, is still far down the scale. He often runs eastward to his native barbarism, and is only kept Inside the bounds of the colony by large contributions to his welfare. We dismiss Liberia as a mammoth negro poor house. But Liberia is nothing to the negro poor house we are establishing in tbe whole Southern half of the United States. We go into the negro asylum business as we go into everything else in America. We set the whole Northern half of the nation to earning money to maintain the negro. We make huge appropriations for the benefit of the negro. We bury all material progress to embody all our ideas in the progress of the negro. We take no lime to legislate upon our commerce, for we are occupying every moment for the negro. We approach a financial panic, but try to hike It by holding before it the negro. We reconstruct the South, not for the common benefit of the white and black relative to the wnold nation, but entirely for tho negro. The radicals go soforthat—rirZe Ben. Wade— they say that we may have a war of cast, and and even hound on the negro. We have gone negro mad; and the madness threatens to wind up by a war of races which, when it comes, will sweep the negro out of existence. The nation is not powerful enough, with all its vigor, to stand under the negro load. We must shake it off, or down we go to the level of Ha;, ti, San Domingo and Jamaica. Political Items. —Tho Boston Tost says Western letters speak confidently of General Sherman’s nomination for the Presidency. —The interest on the national debt is about two thousand dollars every hour—day and night—the year round. The New York State Election.—The Democratic vote this year 18 0,103 greater than the radical vote of 1864, and is tbe largest vote ever polled by any political party in this

State.

—The New York Time* is severe upon Chase, when It says of him, “Politicians who are so ready to let everybody know on demand Just where they ‘stand,” are quite as ready to change their stand whenever they think they can make anything by it.” Faith and Works.—A colored servant girl in tbe employ of a most intense radical, in Yonkers, New York, has given birth to a white child. Faith is good for nothing without works. So no doubt this disciple of negro equality reasoned. —Tbe Boston Commonicealtft, Sumner’s paper, says, “without a single public expretsion of bis views, the Republican organization is, from the iorce of circumstances, being dragged into the support of General Grant to atone for the cowardice and desertion of Congress.” —Tho Frankfort Commonwealth and Lexington Statesman, two “loyal” Kentucky newspapers, have declared for General Grant for President. —Judge Chase has been nominated for the Presidency by a meeting of “loyal” citizens of Atlanta, Georgia; and also by a Republican meeting at Jacksonville, Florida. —The Ylckaburg Republican, of the nineteenth instant, states that returns from tbe Mississippi election, as for as received, Indicate that the convention has been carried by a majority of 10,000. The only conservative known to be elected la from Franklin coonty—Major Session, formerly of the confederate service. —Tbe Chicago Republican says tbe most salient point of General Grant’s testimony le his very strong impression that the plan of provisional governments for the ex-8 tales, Inaugurated by President Johnson, la almost or quite identical with that Intended by Proficient Lincoln just previous to his assassination. Taken as a whole, the examination of tbe General is rather exculpatory than criminatory. Is This a Nation?—The following Is said, practically, to be Senator Sumner’s Ides ot M a nation:” A nation revolving around Maaeacboaetts. Massachusetts revolving on “the hob,” la Boston. The Huh rolling around me (Senator Som-ner.)-N«ie Tbr* - Thk Democratic Grand army.—The York show tbe following vote In round

sing the unpescimHM question,- ttmarke: "It is stld, in this connection, thntepropoMtton to suspend the Ttesldmit fmn office, pending the Impeachment trial, win certainly be made; but that It will not carry. This we eon readily bsMevs. EvenU the -rifnllted ers are desperate enough to unpeach Mr. Johnson, they will hardly be tools enough to attempt to depose him In defiance of the Constitution, when such an attempt would certainly he resisted with all the power of the Executive, sustained by a great majority of the people of the United States. In such an event, if tbe revolutionists Were not instantly crushed, a civil war would ensue, tbe Issue of which could not bo doubtful.” Admitting the Fact.—The New York Times, radical, is at the confessional. It admits the fact that the radical party is incompetent to the task of restoring tbe Union, and that with all its labors it has only widened the breach. Let tbe radicals read its reluctant confession: We are as fur from real peace to-Jay as we were when tbe war was closed, indeed, tbe feeling that now prevails between the two sections is less peaceful, more bitter ami more hostile, than it was when Lee surrendered to Grant. The people feel this to be the feet, and they deplore It as calculated to plunge the country deeper and deeper into trouble and confusion. We are not coming out of the war with either credit to ourselves or profit to the country. We are simply prolonging its enmities and widening the breach which the cessation of armed strife oaght to have closed. Nor does the progress of reconstruction, under tbe law of Congress, promise speedy relief. That is regarded as a hostile act by tbe people of the Southern States—as intended to overbear and humiliate them, and as calculated to disoriranize their society and destroy their pro-perltf. Tho coming Presidential election will bring this matter to au issue. The people will bring these things to an issue in the Presidential election. They will turn out the incompetent men who are unable to restore the Union, and put men in their places adequate to that duty. The radical party and its whole policy has proved a disas-

trous failure.

State Items. —Henry Kramer, while hunting quails near Evansville, was well peppered by an unknown

sportsman.

—A large snow owl, two ieet in length and five feet from tip to tip, was killed near New

Harmony, last week.

—One day last week, Dafe Keefer and Charley Patten were ferociously attacked by a wild hoar, while nutting in the woods near Ft. Wayne. Altera severe contest the bristling monster was made to bite the dust. Committed.—The man Butler, examined on Thursday and Friday of last week, before Esq. Rielly, on a charge of killing Mr. P. O’Neal!, in Harriaon township, a couple of weeks ago, was committed to answer the charge of murder.—Pincennej Sun. —The goose question is one of absorbing In-

terest in New Albany.

The Nigger in New Albany.—From the Commercial, a radical paper, we take the fol-

lowing paragraphs:

Winnlo Harris, a woman of color, who i*oa*ts of her lineage, was arrested yesterday for whipping another ssble female, and lodged

in j ail.

A Happy Family .—The other night, in tbe course of his official duties, one of our officers visited a negro cabin kept by a Mrs. Eliza Tolbert, where drinking and dancing are the chief amusements. Seven or eight families occupied the two rooms, and in one of them a colored woman had a child for a pillow. He says that they usually get drunk before the fiddler has had time to commence. A Shameful Practice.—The attention of the police is called to the negro women who nightly parade the streets, uttering the vilest expressions. These miserable wretches deserve the severest punishment, and we hope they will receive it. A few nights in jail w M probably mend their manners. Two of i .a usually go together and seem to vie with each other in seeing which can be guilty of the greater obscenity. A Kentucky and Indiana Horskthikk. Captain Fred. Gay, who recently escaped from jail at Bowling Green, Kentncky, has been recaptured in Louisville. The New Albany Commercial gives the following skeleton history of the bold outlaw: He is an old offender, having committed more dariag robberies and broken more jails than any man of his age in the country. Charges are pending against him in several places in Indiana and Kentucky. He is aa Englishman and at tbe breaking out of the war was a citizen of Jeffersonville, where he was highly esteemed. At tbe beginning of the war he enlisted as a private In the Twentysecond Kentucky, and was promoted to a captaincy, At the close of the war he married the daughter of one of the wealthiest and most respectable citizens of Jeffersonville. The marriage proved unhappy, and be became a bold highwayman, robbing men in broad daylight. He has been exceedingly shrewd and but aeldom caught. But even when in jail for hia crimes his faithful wife, with true womanly devotion, has visited him, ministeitng to his wants and sharing his sor-

rows.

A. The President and I, when these troubles first broke out happened to coincide in opinions exactly. 1 approved of hia course very ftiltv in the Senate, and he did of mine as

a member of the executive administration. bed some little conversation at that time, and poasibty took sen* little fancy tor one toother, In consequence of our agreement of opinion. I saw something of him again just before he went te Tennessee, after tbe inauguration ot the Administration, and we agreed

then.

After tbe war broke out I saw bat little of him. After be became President 1 did not see him for three or four months, and then perhaps I would not have seen him. except for tbe fact that a. friend of hia induced me to believe that be would be glad to see me. 1 did see him, and In tbe conversation which jre bad, spoke only of public questions, and ofthe dangers which I regarded aa the country exposed to. From that time to this we have never spoken upon any other subject that 1 know of. I am unable to recall a single conversation between him and 1 upon any subject but what related to the public affairs of the country. Occasionally, of course, we would speak of men in connection with ft. Q. Have you, at auv time within the last two year?, had any conversation with the President upon the subject wbetuer tbe Thirty-ninth Congress was a constitutional organization or not ? A. Never; I considered that a closed question with him.

Hon. Jeremlali S. Blaek’aTentim before the Impeachment Com

tee.

Hon. Jeremiah S. Black was examined on the 14th of March last. In reply to the question whether he prepared or had any part in the preparation of the veto message of the reconstruction bill,ho said: “There have been several communications between the President and me, entirely private and confidential—some of them relating to the subject indicated by your question. I do not think you ought to insist upon that question. I wish simply to enter a protest against your right to demand an answer. I am on record for this opinion. A witness sworn to testify before any tribunal ia bound by conscience to answer a question which that tribunal declares he ought to answer. That he is himself not tbe Judge of what he ought to answer and what he ought not. Beside that you have the power to compel an answer under penalties which I can not recite. If, therefore, you insist upon my stating what private intercourse took place between me and the President upon this subject, or npon any other, I suppose I am bound to answer. But I submit to the committee that you ought not to press that question. I ask the comnutte to decide whether they will or not.” Tbe committee, after consultation, determined to require the question to be answered. Mr. Black said: “If the queation relates to this paper as a whole, then I answer. No. If you mean to inquire whether any portion of the paper wes suggested by me, or whether any part of it originated with me in form of expreaelon, I answer, Yes.” “ Q. Will you examine tbe printed copy of the message now shown you, and marked, and state wb&t parte of it were prepared by yon? “A. If I had written the message, or if I bad bad a carte blanche to write it, and the President bad signed what I would have written or what 1 did write, it would have been a ranch more objectionable document to tbe majority in Congress than it is—much more in violation of woat now seems to ha tbe sentiment in Congre.- ■ upon the subject; not objectionable to me and the dess of people in this country who think as I do upon constitutional questions. The beginning of this paper, especially that portion of it which analyzes the bill vetoed, I think, waa used by him of material that 1 furnished, mere freely end with lets alteration than any other part, but everything that I wrote was afterward toned down; whether by him or some one else, I don’t know, because I never had communication with him after I handed over the paper. I have not eeen him since.” After some further questions be stated that "the next psragrapb, about trial by jury, ia one which is partly mine. I have a weakness for that pertion of tbe Constitution. I never did, and I suppose I will go to my grave without being able to, speak of a violation of that portion of the Constitution without a certain amount of boiling and indignation. What 1 would have written in the shape of a message if I were allowed to take my own way, would have been more strong in vindication of that right, and what I did write on that subject, I suppose, was a little toe strong, and there U very little of it here. What is hers sold about tbe writ of habeas corpus and warrant arrest without warrant, la mine. I do not think, however, there is much else to talk about than the writ ot habeas corpus and arrest without warrant, without arrest. If the fundamental principal that a man is to have the right to a trial by a jury of Us country men, is to be disregarded, it is not worth while to talk of anything else. ‘All the rest is but leather and prunella.’ The next paragraph to tbe last, which is a img one. and is a splendid concern, I do net recognise as coming from ms, though then an expressions scattered hers and then through it that I think 1 must hats used, it begins: "The evils which spring from the unsettled state of our Government will he acknowledged by all:” and amerts the necessity of MOiBg ft bv adherence to the Constitution, or bj plan or course at administration which will be within the Constitution, and secure the mtosMm sf J—w—tottvoo of the Sous! States into Congress. That question about tbe

oston), that ~if'they

would come down and vote his ticket they should have a mule given them, with 40 acres of land. Some of them had been in the Union army, bat nearly all of them were old plantation hands. The foremost ol them carried an American flag on his cornstalk, and it was union down. The poor fellows knew no better. Taey came tu get the perquisites promised them by Aradley. They voted. The next and the third they waited (or the male and land. Oi coarse they waited in vain; and they went to their homes sad and despondent, believing that they had been deceived by the great North, for they look upon Bradley as its agent and representative. The white and colored RepubUpans of Savannah did not vote, with a very lew exceptions, un questioning one of the latter class, as to why he neglected it, he said: “ I can not do it sir. I can not assist in keeping men of my color deluded by such low lived scoundrels. We oaght to live peaceably with oar old masters. The prosperity of the State depends opon there being a good teehng between all classes.” I said: " Theff, if that is your feeling, why didn’t you vote what they eall here the ‘Whiteman’s ticket’?” "Oh, I couldn’t do that,” he replied, " because I am for the Republican party, which saved us and gave aa freedom; bat I am sorry every day that it permits such men to represent it,” and bis idea is true. The great body of loyal whites and intelligent blacks stood aloof from

the polls.

They grieved to do it—they lamented the lack of discretion on the part of the national Republican committee which threw the con. troi ot the canvass into tbe hands of such adventurers as this man Bradley, out they could not help It. The men who voted feel aggrieved and angry because his ridiculous promises were not kept. The rebel Sympathizers have already taken advantage of this feeling, and begun to operate upon the voters. Unless he, and such as he, shall be discountenanced, the effect will be to throw the vote of this ignorant mass into the hands of our political enemies in the future. No one who is absent can have any idea of how strong the tide is that way setting already. As an ardent Republican, who shared some humble part in the war for freedom and national unity, I have borne testimony only te what I have seen. The Coat •( Pali tics. The extraordinary expense attending the conduct of a political canvass, and especially the very large sums paid out by the State committees, are attracting attention. It is stated that $4,000 was paid the New Yark Tribune alone for publishing the announcement of meetings to be held throughout the State daring the last canvass; and $3,000 was paid by the committee for their personal accommodations at one of the city hotels. These outlays, which come oat of the voluntary subscriptions of men interested in the success of tbe party, seen enormous and useless. The Albany Evening Journal, which published the same announcements as tbe Tribune, says it never received, asked, or expected a dollar for doing it. Its Interest in the cause was sufficient. Daring the presidential canvass of 1864 the National Union Committee collected and disbursed about $300,000, and not a dollar of it was paid to any member of the committee, either for services, traveling expenses, or anything else.—Pittsburg Chronicle. In Maine there live the Passamaquoddy Indians, and these eminent-savages, in order that their light may not be hidden under a bushel, are given two Representatives In the State Legislature. The two distinguished Indians just elected to represent them in that body are known by tbe sonorous names of Peaspole Sabattus and Sockabesian Swaasian. trust they will make good legislators. A quantity of whisky slightly flavored with oil of lemon, has been forfeited to the : Government by the District Court of the ! United States, in New York. The oil of lemon 1 in the liquor is in the proportion of one ounce ! to fifty-one gallons. True extract of lemon consists of a mixture of an onnee and a half of oil of lemon and a quart of alcohol.
