as there are some to whom tt would be a
ilifterence. It Is an well to have the Blatter
correct, i ' " '
Thk Kansas City 7Tuk, .and journals
of that ilk, are giving notion of their pur
pose to make war against the confirmation
of Cen. Blair as Insuraiim Ciuiiiuisslun'ur
by the Semite this winter. The only
ground of objection to Gen. Blnir lor this
position thus far disclosed, is that he wits

But in the face or all this, the Sedulia
Ptmocnit withdraws its hhjection to the
support Crittenden gave Mr. Wood. . '
The Kansas City Jottrmil of Coimlicfet,
in speaking of the ase of , ,Wood,' against
Townsley, remivrks: The only thing we
regret in the ease, as now in Issue, Is, that
the question as td the legality of votes cast
is not hi issue before the Supreme Court,
aswo would like to see that Court brought
squarely face to face with the decision ol
the Supreme Court ol the TJnfted Stntefe.
But as it is only before' it on the technical:
question of the return, without, touching
the Integrity of tlie ballots theinsulvos, the
whole mutter turns on an Issue different
from that on which the General Assembly
and Congress acUsd. , And, .result as it
mar, it does not touch the vital question.
The Vi'ntck, which boasts the distinc
tion of speaking for the Democratic leader
of the lower House of the Central Assem
bly, hits Hcommunlcation, which it. pub
lishes approvingly culling upon the Leg
islature to appropriate .UOO.OOO to pay
some bid militia claims, which. It seems,
have been trumped up from some quarter
or other. It so hnppened that in the
mail that brought to our table the DUpntch
with the ' eonimunWafiWi -came a' letter

we are promised iv eonimuuication venti

Mesiiiers of Coogreaa p the lower
Ilbiise are still tr) Ing to agree as to what
their services are worth, . That they are
worth .'What the act f last spring fixed is
not accepted as true on all. side. ' Hon.
Alex. II. Stephen, In his speech on Thurs
day, gave the question a very fair consld
oration. He says " the first great thing
to be learned ill tills life, as taught , In the
schools of ancient Oreeeei waa to discrim
Inatn lietwecu that which the multitude
thought was right and that which Was
light In Itself. lie claimed that when
Ooirga-pd sin H ! ! ivhs
last session It had a coji'dtiithinal right to
do so. : He was not saying whether it waa
expedient or not, but no blush shotild rest
on tho cheek ol any man, whether be
voted fur ft or not.. He should have felt
that ho was as justly entitled to It ns ho
was to receive a dollar a day. : H was a
constitutional law, constitutionally passed,
and those who were entitled to pay under
it were as much entitled to the whole of H
as they were to any dime received under
It. If any thoaght it was too moras, t and
returned it,' hi (Stephens) would not cart
a slur upon him lor doing so. H was not
going to place a value on his own sen' ices
as a Itepreaentattvav. . , but if he were to
Mate -n hat he thuugnt the. services of a
Representative ought to lie worth it would
go far above the flgnrenf any litwthahas

Bill passed. ,
The Ikui an. The following is a
synopsis of the report of the Comnuaaionar
of Indian Affairs, relative to tlie Indian
Territory; ,
Anairs in me tuuuin lerruory nre re
presenled to be in a bad condition, owing
to the absence of law as betweeu the in
habitants of the Territory and the citizens
of the United States, the general state of
unuiriR from, lack ol competition anu in
citement of labor, and the unwillingness
of the Indians to take their lands In sev
eralty. The Commissioner says that If
the Inhabitants would adopt the Ocmulgee
constitution with the amendments sugges
ted by the President, upon this a satisfac
tory government could ne created. Then,
If the Indiana would have their lands sur
veyed and allotted to them In severalty,
tlie first steps toward citizenship would be
fairly taken. t Every consideration ot jus
tice seems to require that the treaty obli
gations which the government has assumed
toward these natives should be observed.
But, if It be tound on careful examina
tion, that the highest interests of both the
United States, nnd the Indians of tilts.
Territory require change in their rela
tions wlilch is not provided fur by the dif
ferent treaties, then the question I fairly
raised, whether .the government may not
assume the responsibility of . making the
changes in , such' lorm as shall secure
every right which these Indians can roa
hoiisIjIv aik for themselves, and as 'will
also commend Itself to the moral sense of
the' oountry.'' The attempt to administer
justice lor all tne t erritory uirougn tne
United States' Courts at Fort Smith, has
been largely a failure, and If the adoption
of a Territorial Constitution by the In-
dluns dues not provide a remedy, then the
United States Courts should be established

to become tho fence of the future in the
West., Tho great Scarcity - of -timber
makes hedges a necessity, and the hedge
can now be grown and trimmed at a less
cost man any otnor goon lence can De
made and kept in repair. Hedge grow
ing has become so well systematized in
the West that farmers can all plant their
hedge as readily as their orchard, buying
the plants already grown at the uursery.
and When, planted, a utile- oara In cuio-
valing will soon make good hedge, The
best Hedge, ot course, is wnere the plant
are thick enough to nvoiil plashing, then by
the aid OF the improved Hectare-Trimmer

Where the young hedge is not thick

vantage, , .but cutting or nicking should
never be allowed. In Dla'shins-.' as .It Is
better to plait the top of one plant nndcr
the' next, and so on, each plant holding
the orecedlnir one down.
! Nothing will add mure to tlie value' of,
Gtrming land than to put a good hedge
fence around it, and now that we are
done experimenting on worthless willows
and other new hedge plants, formers who
want to improve their farms and have a
nermanent fence, can not do belter than
to piuut out tne vage nmigv.- tstiy your
plant ot rename dealers, and uun't try
to get them too cheap, i ' The highest prfeeo
plants are ' generally the - cheapest. - A
good uniform stand Is desirable for a good
hedge, aad a good hedge I a desirable
