The Report of the Commissioner of : Indian| Affairs. } - WASHINGTON, November 20, The annual report of the Commissioner of | Tndian Affairs has been submitted. It shows that during the past year there has been am,on% the Indians in general asteudf' advance in civilization, which has had no parallel in any grevious year. In this the O;falulla and Brule | ioux have taken the lead, and their grogress during the last ecighteen months as been simply marvelous. It is no longer a question whether the Indians will work — those who are anxious to do so are now largely in ‘'the majority. From all, except the five civilized tribes in Indian Territory, there is a call for lands in severalty. There is a largely-increased desire for houses and agricultural implements, wagons, etc., and also for citizens’ clothing. The following table shows the substantial results of Indian labor during the year. They are much lm}rer than ever before, and but for the severe drought in the Indian Territory and among the Navajoes, the increase in crops would have been much greater, especially in the corn crop, which is less than that of last year: : - ‘ By Indians, exclusive of the five eivilized tribes of Indian Territory, in 1879: Number of acres broken... .............. 27,131 Number of acres cu1tivated..............157,056 Bushels of wheat rai5ed..................328,637 Bloiae o P R R e e Oatsgnd bar1ev,bu........0.0L 0 000 00000180.064 Vegetables, bu3:g‘69B Hay dat.

THE UTE OUTBREAK. The history of the Ute outbreak is given in detail without disclosing any new facts. In reference to the removal of the Utes to some other location, the Commissioner suggests that a commission be appointed to visit the tribe and obtain its consent to remove from the State upon payment of the full value of lands now occupied. The advantages to be obtained by removing them to the Indian Territory are: 1. An abundant supply of arable .land and cultivation. 2, Immunity from white encroachment; and, 3. Better security -for keeping Indians feaceful, as the country is not adatgt-ed to Indian-fighting, and everywhere offers open fields for use of artillery and all the appliances of civilized warfare, so that whatever be the disposition of the Indians, if resort.to force should benecessary it could be made effective in the interests of peace. o The Commissioner considers the enactment of the bill extending the criminal laws of respective States or Territories over Indian reservations of vital importance. The Indian policemen have shown the utmost fidelity to the Government, and have when necessary ar« rested even friends and relatives with absolute impartiality. Several instances are cited in groof of their fidelity. There is but one draw ack which should be removed by Congress, and that is inadequacy of pay, which by law is fixed at $6 per month. The Commissioner recommends that it be increased to $l5 pet month. NOVEL RECOMMENDATION. ‘ The following novel recommendation 'is made: ‘A penal settlement for the confinement and reformation of the more turbulent and troublesome individuals among the various Indian tribes is a pressing want. For murderers and the worst class of refractory Indians, one settlement should be in Florida, which is far enough from the Indian reservations to make any attempt at escape hopeless. Another settlement should be at some point in the Northwest where considerable land can be found upon whichairmprisoned Indians may be taught to work for their own support. The settlements should be guarded by sufficient force to exercise perfect disc_fipline, and trades, as well as agriculture, should be taught, and when the time arrived for them to be returned home the captives would have reached an advanced stage of civilization.” - THE SALE OF FIRE-ARMS. Outside the Indian reservations men are everywhere found driving a thrifty business in selling the latest and best patterns of arms and fixed ammunition to non-civilized Indians. The sales thus made are limited’ in amount only by the ability of the Indians to purchase. Previous to the late outbreak Indians were amh)ly supplied with Winchester and Sgencer ritles and fixed ammunition, obtained» from traders outside their reservations. There is no statute against this crime, and the ' Commissioner recommends .that legfislation be specially directed against such sales by Congress. Prohibiting, under severe penalty, the sale of both fire-arms and fixed ‘ammunition, and further legislation requiring non-civilized Indians to be disarmed, are the only common-sense and practical methods of putting an end to this dangerous traffic. —~ ' THE PONCAS. : ' The Poncas are reported as doing well on their new reservation, and rapidly advancing In ways of civilization. The progress of the youths trained in the Indian schools is of the most hopeful character. Exclusive of the five civilized tribes of the Indian Territory there are mnow over 7,100 Indian - children taught at the agerzlg(y schools. The five civilized tribes have 6,250 children at school. INDIAN MARRIAGES. Among the other recommendations of the report is one for the enactment of a law to prevent polygamy, and provide for legal marriages among the Indians. For this purpose it is proposed to make civil magistrates of Indian agents. ; —————————— The ¢¢ Conspiracy”’ Cry.

The Philadelphia 7%mes seems to have been caught by Matt. Carpenter’s ““ conspiracy,’”’ and discourses thus: *The revolutionists of the ,North and the South should understand that the peo%le expect to elect the next President of the United States; that the great mass of the citizens of all parties mean that the man who may be the choice of the people shall be declared elected and inaugurated, and that they will care much less for the political opinions or party associations of the successful candidate than they will for the integrity of the solemn judgment of the Nation. iet a halt be called in all revolutionary methods of unBol'llYulous politicians to defeat the will of the people in the choice of the next President. The Democrats should do it to escape adding the imitation of the Republican frauds of 1876 to their other many infirmities, and the Re;mbljeans should do it not only because Reémbl canism was created for a nobler and grander purpose, but also because they can be outcheated at every turn on the hi)me-stretch if they shall invite such a struggle.” . - 3 ' The only ‘¢ revolutionists’’ who have shown their faith by their works are in the Republican Fa'rty, and it is just as well for political moralists to bear this fact in mind in their discourses upon the prospective evil results of an attempt ¢“ to defeat the will of the geople in the choice of the-next President.” It is always the thief himself who shouts ¢ stop thief’’ the loudest, and therefore Carpenter’s cry is both appropriate and suggestive. - Until the late lamented Chandler and his colleagues planned and accomplished the'Presidential fraud ~of 1876 such a thing was net enly never heard of in American history, but never even dreamed of by the most desperate "qnﬁinnﬁdru&ﬂous American. Thelead‘ers of the Southern rebellion—who, in ‘Republican: estimation; represent the sum of * all imiquity—never so much as ‘hinted the Setting-aside; of the popular | ghoi,cg_; in 1860. The}«wgeq to secede, but did not try to :swindle; and seces'sion, bad as 1t is,-ha&more manliness ‘than stindlh;f.: . To ‘the’ Republican party, then, belongs, the qg{,plumve and “eternal Mamy‘off;angexpmf le which will ‘vex the Nation to the last hour of its existence; if, indeed, that -example .does not. a.ctmﬂ%contribn%e to National destruction. ;- We. should' always remember that theére'is in this country an ‘unwritten, as well as & written, Constitution; and' thgbth&formergs almost as authoritative. as the latter. . Our un~written Constitution is:made up of preceﬁentmﬂﬁ ot bad, as the case may ‘be-~whichy:. - estab‘lishéd,i“]l'lna’VQ' ] ﬁi‘g ly _hardened into law. e unseating of Tilden to make room for Hayes was of small conse(i\:‘ence comga.red*‘with' the precedent thereby established, Four years of le-

galized usurpation can be endured with safety, if not with patience, but the new departure which showed that -usurpation could be legalized was a blow at the very. root of popular government. Long after the two great political organizations now contending for supremacy have vanished from the stage the Returning Board and Electoral Commission business will teach reckless partisans how a beaten candidate may be thrust into the Executive chair. - And if that pernicious lesson does not bring forth its legitimate fruit of triumphant fraud, it will be because our chiltfren are made of sterner and better stuff than their fathers. )

Meanwhile the 7%mes’ homily should have been specially directed to Republicans. Democrats have not now, and they never have had, the slightest intention of electing a President by other than Constitutional methods. Their candidate in 1880 will be elected as their candidate in 1876 was—by the people. Returning Boards, Electoral Commissions, and all ‘ conspiracies” of that sort, are Republican inventions; and already we hear, from some of the least prud);nt of the ¢ stalwart’’ organs, that if Grant is nominated ‘he shall be elected and he shall be inaugurated’’—a significant threat, to say the least. The ‘‘conspiracy’’ cry' from such men as Carpenter tells Democrats what they are to look out for and guard against—and in that way may be exceedingly useful.—S¢. Louis Republican.

- Fresh Corpses Wanted. 0 This is the significant hint that will be passed along the Republican lines next year, and directed especially to those ardent and loyal members of the garty who, by long experience, know vest how to satisfy a gory and pressing necessity of this kind. The party hardly needs a reminder on this score, but the New York Nation has shown plainly what the needs of the Republicans will be. It says to them: ‘“You must bear in mind that you cannot with effect, or even with .decency, go into the campaign of 1880 with the two murders and one assauJt on which you have largely conducted the canvass which has just closed. The Chisholm murder occurred in 1877, and you used it in the elections of last year. You have now used it again, and came very near having to use it alone. The Dixon murder—a poor one at best, in which one bulldozing ruffian and gambler killed another—came to you in the nick of time, and so did the assault on the Postmaster at Blackville. You must remember that in the late canvass you threw overboard every Republican ~doctrine or argument except distrust of the South. You fell back, in fact, almost completely on Southern lawlessness, and the danger now is that you will have to go into the Presidential canvass with the weapons you have used in this one. But you cannot go into a Presidential canvass, or even go to the convention, and draw up_ the platform on_stalwart principles,” with nothing but two old, and, indeed, one might say second-hand, murders. You will, therefore, need fresh ones during the coming winter, and two murders collected over an area as wide as the South, and from a perturbed and semibarbarous community will not be enough, eéven when dressed up with the best rhetoric at your command. You must have at least a dozen to support the dreadful picture you now draw of Southern society.” The demand for fresh corpses will, it is apparent, rest not simply upon desirability, but upon necessity. Like the boy chasing the woodchuck, the Republicans must have them, as they are out of meat. They have no other issue to stand upon. They have taken their position and staked their chances of success upon this bloody-shirt issue alone, and, unless they can replenish the dye-stuff, their cause is hopeless. It must be patent to any ordinary observer, if he is impartial, that here is a party necessity fraught with great danger to the country in general, and the Southern section in particular. The expedient here pointed at is so horrible that many will be extremely credulous, and so might we were the danger hypothetical simply; but, alas! there have already been too many instances of this very thing when party ‘ur%)ency was much less in the Re&l7l lican rank that it is at present. e do not mean simply stories of outrages accompanied with bullet-holes through hats, a kind of side-show that the notorious Hester and a great many. others have been very proficient in. We do not mean the purely imaginative dime novel sketches of violence in the South, such as James Redpath used to write for the New York 7%mes. These are more contemptible : than dangerous. What we dread as lovers of peace and order is that the idea expressed a few years ago by a Republican committee in South Carolina that *‘a few dead niggers will help the cause,”’ will find acceptance among the tools of the party, who are vile enough for anything. We do not believe that we exaggerate the picture. The South has never been so peaceable and prosperous as it has since self-government was permitted in all the States. But the sectional ery at the North a.mong_Rad‘« ical politicians was never so bitter as now, and, to justify what has been said and will be said, it will be necessary to send emissaries throughout all that section to foment race and c'lassvfeelinﬁ and stir up strife and disorder. The Sout. should understand this in advance, for the work of vilification and social incendiarism will be practiced aga,inst them in earnest next year.—Boston Post. é

Carrying States. : We are constantly reminded by the press, as also by distinguished gentlemen of the party, that only certain men can carry certain States.in the campaign of 1880. If such representations are correct, then the Democratic theory of elections must be reversed, for, instead of ‘‘measures not men,” the maxim must be, ‘“ men not measures .’’ or men first and measures second. As the case now swands, many ardent’ Democrats seem to be‘of the opinion that if certain men do not occhy 'ﬁlaces on; ¢he Presidential ticket of the party, ' certain States, believed to be ‘reli:fbﬁ{ Democratic, at once become doubtful, or even

worse than doubtful. We do not believe that such expressions are calculat- | ed to strengthen the Democratic party. They relate altogether too much to men. It is a virtaal a%)andonment of principles, policy and measures. It is in all respects undue personal exaltation. It obscures the fact that the party islarger than the man, and will survive when the man is dead. More than this: It belittles the eternal principles upon which the party is founged, and which, in spite of man’s opposition, have shaped the destiny of the Republic, and without which the whole fabric would tumble to ruins inan hour. If these principles have an abiding place in the hearts and consciences of the American people, if they have permeated the great public mind and molded the best thought of the country, no man has a rigit; to claim that he- iss the embodiment of them, nor has any man the right to assert that these principles of fealty to the Constitution and to the welfare of the whole country will find full and free expression in certain States, only where certain men are put forward to represent them. It should be borne in mind that great parties become factionized by personal followings, rather than by disagreements upon fundamental principles. We are not in sympathy with the idea that a Western man cannot carry New York—nor an Eastern man Indiana. °Such opinions tend directly to sectionalism within the party. Such views are not broad nor statesmanlike —they are not Democratic; for Democracy, in its praetices and principles, knows no section. A Democrat is everywhere a Democrat, in all the broad land. The Democratic party glories in its principles; it magnifies the Constitution for the wisdom it embodies, and the rights it confers. The Democratic party cannot be sectional. Upon no -cardinal principle of government can it ‘be one thing in one State and something entirely different in another State. Upon minor questions individuals may differ—but they are nonessentials, and deserve little prominenece. They are in all regards ephemeral as compared with the indestructible principles upon which the party was founded, and which, when the madness of passion and fanaticism have burst upon the country, have saved it from destruction. When these principles are brought to the front, and the Democratic party organizes, anid solidifies, and harmonizes upon them, it has been in the past, and will be again in the future, invincible; then its strides become gigantic; then its voice commands attention; then'the Constitution; with all of its sacred guarantees, is exalted; faction is hushed; demagogues hide their deformities; the coutry, ‘the whole country, with all of its vast and varied interests, absorbs the attention |of patriots; and standard - bearers, whether from the East or West, the North or South. command the suffrages of Democrats in all the States, and vietory is assmed. Webster, in his reply to Hayne, characterized the- words ¢ Liberty first and Union afterward” as ‘‘delusion and folly,” and ¢ Men first and measures afterward” are words equally out of place. What is wanted now, and never more than now, is the reassertion everywhere, by the Democratic party, of the principles of Government embodied in the Constitution, the rights of the States and the liberties of the (s)eople—from which follow peace, good will, union and prosperity. This done, the Democratic party will, without difficulty, find the man to lead on to victory. Then the question will not occur—who can carry certain States, for any true man whom the Democrats in council may select, will be voted for East, West, North and South—from Maine to Oregon, from the Penobscot to the Rio Grande, and from the broad prairies of the West to the everglades of Florida. To this the country is coming. Recent events intensify the desire. The Republican party, by its un%overnable hates, by its ‘thirst for despotic power, by its alliance with all that is vicious in polities, atrocious in practice and infamous in aims and ends, compels the Democratic party to dismiss its contentions about men, and to mass its strength, its abilities, its patriotism upon measures. This done. Democrats will at once rise superior to the idea of State allegiance to men. Their Democracy will expand and broaden until, comprehending the mission of the party, and demanding unity upon measures, they will readily accept standard-bearers who, by the verdict of the party, are pronounced qualified for the exalted position.— Indianapolis Sentinel.

A Cow’s Vietory Over an Alfigator. ON last Saturday a man here was looking for some of his hogs that he had missed for several days, and had neared the river when he heard a cow bellowing. Upon going to the bank of the river and looking on the opposite side he saw, on a sand bar, an alligator, a cow “and a young calf. The alligator had the cow and calf between itself and the river. He made a dart for the calf, when the cow rushed between them, and a fearful fight ensued. While this was raging the calf %ot‘ into the woods and facef about; bleating plaintively. The alligator was' not more than seven feet Tong, and struck at the cow furiously with its tail. The cow avoided as many of these blows as gossible, but yet received quite a numer, fne of which knocked her rolling over for about ten feet. The alligator rushed upon her with open mouth, and tried to seize her by the nose, but she was up in time to catch it upon the horn under the throat, and tgn'e\'v it over backward, and before it could get another lick at her, or defend itself, 5103 was on it a%ain; tossing it high into the air, it fell into the water with a splash, and did not venture to the land again. The cow, after rushing around looking for the enemy, ran to her calf and made tracks through the woods for home, looking back occasionally to see if she was pursued.—Americus (Ga.)

The Meteoric Shower in November, ISR s ' THE meteoric display of November 13, 1833, was by very far the most remarkable natural phenomenon I have ever witnessed. j’f)he event came unheralded, and took us all by surprise. I was residing at.the time in ﬁ)cDonough, Henry County. Suffering at the time from an inflamed eye, and being unable to sleep, I rose about one o’clock on the night in question and went out to my kitchen for the purpose of lighting a lamp (lucifer matches had not then been “invented, or had not at least come into use in that section). In passing into the kitchen I did not happen to look up. But as soon as our cook (old Aunt Mary) opened the door she drew back in alarm, exclaiming, ¢ Lord, master, the world is coming to an end! Just look at the stars; t%rey are all falling!’ My faith in the Seriptures (such as Matthew xxiv., 14, and others of the same import) precluded the idea of its being the end of the world, and I was not alarmed. Returning to my room, I prepared my wife - for viewing -the phenomenon, which = she did without undue excitement. ' I then sallied forth to arouse some of my neighbors, that they also might enjoy the wonderful -display.. ‘The two nearest were a lawyer and a | preacher, both of whom were terribly ‘alarmed, and, despite my expostulations, greatly alarmed their wives. Without going further, I had my hands full endeavoring to restore them to some degree of composure. . ‘ From one o’clock until daylight 1 witnessed the grand display. ' Looking upward, it seemed as if the meteors all startt;d from a common center and fell in curying lines to the very earth, and there were thousands, if not millions, of them in sight at the same moment, and every moment, until daylight put an end to the scene. - It literally rained fire. Sometimes the shower would slacken for a moment or so, and then it would be renewed untjl the very heavens seemed to be ablaze. Some were brighter, some of paler hue, but they were all fire (or seemed so),and all were pouring down. toward the earth. But I am attempting to do what I promised myself I would not undertake—to describe a scene which no imagination-can conceive, nor tongue or pen portray. It was as clear a night as I ever saw. I would fix my eyes ona given star, and in a few moments it

would -seem to fall, owing, I'suppose, to the fact that it was obseured by a passing meteor. The illusion was perfect. For two or three days after the occurrence the atmosphere was so smoky as to prevent the stars from being seen: at night, and to cause the sun to look like a ball of fire in the daytime, upon which one might gaze with the naked eye without pain. : A few occurrences connected with the event ma{l interest your readets. In ‘Covin%ton, Newton County, at three o’clock, the church bell was rung, and the whole population was-aro'useci:, who repaired to the meeting-house and spent the remainder of the night in devotional exercises. The gold mines in Paulding and adjacent counties had drawn together' many adventurers—miners and gamblers. A gentleman direct from that section informed. me that soon after midnight guns were fired, horns blown, and the sleepers for miles were aroused. The gamblers threw their cards in the fire,.enemies made friends, and there was such praying as was never heard in that. section before,” and, perhaps, has never been heard since. Only a few days after the phenomenon I was passing from McDonough to Zebulon, and stopped to spen(T the night with a friend.. He had two Northern men employed erecting a mill on a small stream ‘mnear his residence, the elder one of whom had been a seafaring man. As soon as I arrived the *‘falling of the stars’’ became the subject of conversation. Seeing the Northern men coming over the hill, my friend said: ‘‘Engage those men-—especially the elder one—in conversation on the subject.”” Supper over, I managed to draw them out. The older one said: I have spent.most of my life on the sea, and have passed through many dangers. But I never had tolook death and eternity so squarely in the face before. You know, parson, that sailors believe in the North st;r. Well, I saw that the other stars were falling, but I thought that as long as the North star kept its place all was safe. So I went out there and sat on the ground, with my back against the chimney (it was .a rock chimney), and thenl watched that star, trying not even to wink. In a few minutes 1t cut loose, and here it came. And then, parson, I fell on my knees and did some of the tallest praying you ever heard., and I have not sworn an oath since.”” He had been dreadfully profane. I have seenman)iqpeople since who have waited for the North star to fall ' before they- would pray.—J. H. Campbell, tn Columbia (Ga.)
