The opinion .{s very proyalent among Demoornts that the Donnelly crowd cooked tp the anonymous otter offering the bribe of $5,000 to Springor, anil the genernt fecling of Alagust at this development In the caso, coupled with tho certainty that the unseating of Wish- uth would {injure the Domoeratte party allover tho North, ts Hkely to Induco a number of Nem- ovrats to Join tho Republicans in voting dawn tho majority report in favor of onstihg Washturn, Springer still declares his purpose to demand an Investigation, and Manning, for somo ronson, fs partiewtiariy anxtous that no notice of the mnt+ ter be taken by tho Hfouso,—very likely through a tear that his own performances as tho spectul champlon of Donnolly will not bear searching Inquiry, Io tg willing to stats totho House that ho fine not brought and does not bring any charge of personal corruption against Springer; nt the lattor {4 not satisied with any diselaiier Manning may mike, and will insist upon at ine veatlgation, believing that thoreby he can trace the authorship of the bribery propualtion hume to Donnetly's followin; D.J. Monnens, President of the Tron and Steel Association, bus written a pathotte letter to Mr. Garflold on theanbject of~the aril. We are glad to have the subject known this carly, for othorwiso ft might be supposed that Mr, Morrell, who hat a truly poetic temperument, bad Ingutred, “Why Do Karly Moses Pade?" or atdressed a repronehful homily on“ Fletle April Skies" to the member from Ohio. Hat no; Jt Js not elthor of these thomes that has en- Hated tho sympathica of the President of tho Tron and Bteol Associition, His muse hus bees invoked, as has been entd, to sing tho pralees of tho turiif, in which he is deeply Interested, in a donblo sense. “tic has written tu Sir. Gurileld to warn hin against relaxing tls victtanes in favor of high prohihitery duties fora single moment. Tho warning ts-wholly needless; Lut President Morrell thinks not, ‘Though be has untounded eontidence th tho atubborniicas of Mr. Guriteld, he apprehents 4 combination of “ reekless aplre its,” mostly taxpayers, which may be Invoked to sento down the fron duties to reasonnble rates.

There fg no immediate danger that the new tarif-perpetua- tion plun will: be adopted, Tho objections to it are manifest. One of the most forelble ts that which Mr. Gurfletd himself stated, a few yenrs ago, When he said he was opposed t6 ay classl-. Heation of “industries” which did not itichide agriculture, tho most primitive “industry of all, It fs probabie, also, that thero will bea very decided objection In this country to muak- ing nfetich of the present tariff, whieh [athe result of tiuch hasty log-roliing legislation, and: presents nearly as mny opportunities,for. lin- provement us itcontalns Items, The fact tht efanyes ore proposed, and sure to come fn the next Congress, If not in this, may dleturd inter= ested, mitnufacturers and monoputists, but tt gives ton tux-ridden people sense of joy and promise of rellef, THE SPRINGER’ SENSATION. ‘The present Congress 13 realy to be di- verted by the most Insiguifieant provocation from the serlous busihess of legistatlon, It is the first Congress during eighteen or twenty years in which the Democrats have had contro] of both Houses. Its present scs- ston precedes n Presidentint election in which the Democrats are preparing: to make a despernte cifort to selze tho Executive branch of the Government. These two ¢lr- cuunstances combine to render thocontrolling mnjority of Congress averse to Inw-making. ‘Tho Democrats are afraid to nssume the re- sponsibility of any legislation whatever, ‘Tliey are indifferent to all popular demands fora rglief from the oppression of monopu- Nes atid wijust taxation, and only alert In avoiding their public duties and completing thelr campaign arrangements. Consequent- ly anything in the nature of no scandal or personal sensation 1a pecullarly w come to then. Anything which will serve to vonsume tine almlesly, and tide over the rocks on which the party night otherwise split and go to pleees, fs pounced pon with avidity as a new excuse for avolding thelr responsibilities to the people. Hence the Springer bribery sensation is a godsend to the Democrats, and they will undoubtedly make tie most of It The case’ itself is tho thinneat sort of a pretext “pour puaser lo temps. It has no other foundation than that of an anonymons letter, whieh 1s always unworthy of Individ- ual consideration, and much more unworthy of the attention of a dignified body of legis intom. Aday or two ago, Mr. Springer, for reasons best known to hitmself, refused to vote in Committee with his Bourbon col- leagues to give Donnelly 9 seat: In Congress to which Mr, Washburn had been elected by 8,000 majority. It-ts true that Springer voted to unseat Washburn, but apparently con- eluded that this was stretching party bias to the uimost fiinit, and that ft was outrageous enough to displace the man who had been gleeted without giving his sent to a man who had not been elected, It appears that Congressman Mnnning has Ween the leader in tha partisan movement to steal the State of Minnesota, and has taken special umbrage at Springer's refusnt to follow out the consplraey to the end, So Springer Is charged with having been fnffusnced by corrupt motives, and an Anonymous letter signed A Republlean’? is produced, which promises that a present of $5,000 slinil bo made to Springer’s wife in case he shall succeed in preventing the seat- ing of Donnwily, ‘This letter wis received and opened by Mrs, Springer during her hus- band’s absence in Nuw York, and. she, Woman-like, sent {éto Donnelly and hts at forney, When Springer rettirned hoe de stred to have nothing salt pubticly about the letter (probably because he'apprehonded the nstounditig siliiness of the whole affair), and how Manning and Donnyglly, in order to “got even" with Springer for votlngngalnst them, make the letter and Spriyger’s silence the grounds for charging hin with having been corruptly iniluenced, . Mr. Springer would bo 9 fool ag well a3 0 rascal if he were rendy to accept an anony- mous aid irresponsible proffer of a bribe as5, consideration for changlng hfs yoto on suy subject. If he wore disposed to sell his yote he would desire to be at least reasonably us sured that he would get his price, Such o letter ns ho fs eald to have received, however, would indicate to 9 person of ordinary Intel- Hgence that the promised brite would never be paid; the verfest novice In public affairs could not be decelved by so transparent a frau, It is just os preposterous for Donnelly and his attorneys to ate tribute the authorship of this otter to any felond of Wasliburn’s. Lf Wash. burn himself or “anybody on’ his be- half wanted to bribe Springer, the bribe would not beoffored tn the formof an anony- mous letter, becausy sucha prolifer would. be utterly lnedlective. The recelpt of auch a inigsive by Springer is about tho best possible evidence that nelther Mr. Washburn nor his frlendsever thought of corrupting Springer or anybody else In connection with the case, Moreover, Mr, Washburn fg merely demand. Ang his righta from the Conunitice, aud it Is Always tore renaonnbte to supposd tat the party in the wrong will turn to corrupt methods, Itty not likely that tho authorship of the anonymous letter will ever bo traced, but Mr, Washburn’s theory In regard to It Is moro plausible than auyothor,—viz.¢ that the Don- Nelly crowd, ascertaining that Mr. Springér Had determined to vote against the propost: {fon to give Donnelly a seat to whieh he tind not been elected, resolved by means of this Anonymous communication to lnpuen Springer's motives and prepare the way for working out their revenge. It {3 9. trick entirely worthy of nny sct of men who con- spire ln go deliberate n fashion to stent 9 seat fn Congress and distranchise an entire State, If tis be not the true explanation of the at fatr, thon tha nnonytions fetter was written hy some erazy and irresponsible Demucrat with the anime purpose, In either enge, Mr, Springer’s orlgiial mirpose of paying no ate tention to the mintter was entirely proper; the letter should have been thrown {n the waste-basket, where all nuonymous Iefters, and especially such silly ones na tiits, legit! mately betong., ‘Tho only result of the pub- Helty which has been given to itwill be to furnish the Domocrats with suother expedient for consuming tins and avotting thelr legty- lative responsibiittes, ‘Shey aro mistaken, however, if they think they enn tins. trifle with the people and the public tntorests, and escape detectlon and censure. STAMPEDES IN THE BRITISH ARMY, Tho amusement’ which the unfortunate stampede of our votunteors at the frst battle of Bull Run aforded many Englishmen ts ho doubt well remembered. ‘Che most skill- ful correspondent of the London Times at that tte, Dr, Russell, hdd been sent to tho United States to be present with and chron {cle tho movements of the Unlon armies, The British people destred full and complete ne- counts of all our campaigns, and of course nothing was to be spared to atford them in- teresting reading as to the American manner ofmaking war, We had, it ts ‘true, given them most sirtking tustrations of our war ke methods on two former oceastons. We had indeed at other tines shown a most cheerful willingness to linpart to them farther Instrietion on the same subject, but all this had been forgotten, It seemed to them ab- surd that © Nation like ours, without an army, aud composed wholly of bankers, mer- chants, farmers, mechantes, ete, should have the presumption to tndalge in 80 noble a pase fine, Dr. Russell's pen was therefore relted on, not only to afford retinal tformation as tothe contluct of the war, but to contribnte to the amusement of tho British public by a narrative of the many military absurdities we inust tnevitably connuit. A Russell renehed the Untted States in thne tobe present on the Bull Run battli-fictd, As he was one of the first fugitives from the baitle-field to reach Washington when the stampede occurred, he was, of course, unable to give any correct neeount of whitt really took place. Tis imagination and fancy were, however, equal te tho ocension, and he spread before fils readers an feeotnt of thé flight of our troops which was received In England with the utmost satisfaction and dvriston, Whether prompted by the knowl- edge that hls own fleetness of foot In leaving the field had been found out by the people of the United States, or that he no longer considered the movements of Amertean armles worthy of Interest to the ‘“hnes renters, we do not know; he soon after left the country and returned to England, Ashort tine before the Zulu war closed, Dr. Russell was gent as correspondent by tho London Telegraph to South Afrien, It is believed that he was tot present at any of the battles, but, regarding himself as a judge stninpedes, ho naturally occupied himself very much with this subject. As his absence prevented his taking personal part in those which occurred, tho Information collected by him relative to Britlsh seares in Zululand may be regarded as reliable. He has given a full account of each one, and his statements have been so sturUling thatan Investigation was deemed necessary by the British author- ities. ‘This Investigation was made by Gen, Newilegite, who commanded ono of the di- visions operating agalnst the Zulus, and who was an cye-witness to many of tho seones de- serlbed by Russell, The result hag just been made public, and shows n state of affairs In the English army which is anything but creditable to it, and which should in future teach Englishmen that thoy are subject to the weaknesses of human nature to as great an oxtent ns many othors who make fewer boasts of thelr own superiority, An officer serving with the Irregular Corps, apart of Lord Chelmsford's fores in the murch to Ulundi, has given a somewhat mnusing necount of one of thoss stampedes in tho Mareh unmber of Colburn’s United Service Mayuztne, ‘Tho Iigh character of this perlodien! as the standard military pub- Meation of Great Britain Is proof that his statement can be necepted ns correct. Is ‘description 13 In substance as follows: Karly In the second night beford the battle of Ulundi a few shots were heard on the pleket- ine, and immediately a pantie eonunenced, which extended to nearly the whole force, Men huddled together through fear, and were deaf to the commands of thelr officers, Ne saw elght men clinging together and sobbing pitifully, while a, stalwart Sergeant waa ordering them to thelr places, and bang ing into them with the butt end of arliletoen- foree hiscommands, Many men took refuge among the entile and horaes, One who, he says, from his rank should have known bet ter, was sleeplag under a mimosa bush: he Jumped up singing out, “Lord, help ust? A thorn ran Into his side, and, yelling at the top of his voice, Lam usseguled?* “fam assegnied!” ho sprang over the earthwork, teanng a inan's face with his boot, and ran among the horses, Another, in dis blind fright, made ailve to get through the spokes of a wagon-wheel, but was catight fast in doing do, and there remained until oxtricated by othors, Another, three parts asleep, stag: gered Into tho bush, and was only thoroughly aroused: by striking Ils head against atunp. Muny nen, iu thelr terror, lio states, were caught in the nabattis surrounding the camp Ike a ram Ina thicket. Tho officer speaks highly of the behaylor of two of the reghinents, but hie closes his secount by way: ing thatthe entire camp could have been ensily captured before half the others oven got thelr arms, ‘Iho real cause of the scare Was that two spies had been sent out to gain nformation of tho Zulus, neither knowing that any one elsy had been sent, ‘They had wons a short distance beyond the pleket-lne, aud, on discovering onch other, had di-charged their ries and runin on the pickets, Of course, many excuses are made for such aslameful behavior by thelr troups, It ts anid that their soldiers were too young forthe work; that Hoy had not becume seasoned to danger, ett. We doubt the entire correct ness of these statements, Many of thelr juen, Bent from England to fill up tho regi- ments engaged in the campalgn, were picked from organizations serving at home, Even If tho statement as to thelr youth were true, thoy had certainly seen suflcient service to Haye prevented such disgraceful conduct. Our volunteors at Bull Run had not been so fortunate. ‘They, tuo, wore young, and ab- sofutely without expertencd. Unlike: tho British ofiicers, ours, ike our men, had no iillitary knowledge whatever. At that time Englishmen were unable to comprehend the force of those reasons, Thoy belleved that the strmpedo at Ball Run was dite to an fnierent dofect In Amortean charnctur, Which experlenco even could not eradiente, Et will hardly bo sppropriate for thom in future to indulge fn auch glbes and sucera ab our oxpense, when thelr own bonsted troops: have afiven stitch tniniatakanle evidence that they, too, cath bo winecessarily seared, and that their legs are na guoil nt tinnlng from an imaginary cnemy as ate those of our volunteers, The Zulus hove given English- men © practical tesson, which they will sonreely forget, and which shoutd horenfter make thom more tolerant of the misfortunes ofothors, English arrogance nul self-con- cult must be invulnerable Indeed If the Zu wat has not convinced thom that the virtues of hinnlinod are not the exelastys property of those born within the Itmlts of the United Kingdom. THE WISCONSIN INDIANS. Congressinan Pound has Introduced 9 bill that wilt solve the Indian problén, ifs far as fils district fa concerned, In au cnitiently Just and philanthropte manner, aut tho phon Is one that might be profitably copfed in other States besittes Wiscoustit. By ntrenty made with the Chippewa In- dons in September, W954, thoro were three feservations aut’ nalts for thres bands—viz.: for the Bad River bund, a tract of fand on the const of Lake Superior, near Ashland, containing 125,000 acres; for the Lac Court Orielle band, & tract on the hendwaters of the Chippowa Rye, containing 40,000 aera; and a troet for the Lac de Flambentt band on the hendwaters of the Fambentt and Wiseon- ‘sin Hivers, contalning 70,000 neres, The three bands. now tinder about 2,500 souls (if on Indian has o soul), and the first and steoml tracts or reservations contain mitch arable land well adapted to ng- rleulttiral putposer,—enough, It is snld, to give covery head ofa foinfly nnd every fll- arown Tndinn « gout farm. The Lac do Flambeau Reservation contains little good forming land, but ts covered with adense stowth of valuable soft pine, ‘The band ou the lnst-named tract numbers ohty G42 per sons, and are of a roving dlapusitton, snbsist- {ng uport game an fish and the smafl) an- nitity that Is annually donated bythe Federal Government. It is the object of Gov. Pound's bilt, first, to obtath the consent of these three bands of Indians to atl its provisions, fo consolidate thom, and imnake allotments from the best netieultural lands in these reservations, gly- ing each grown person eighty neres, and to each ininor forty acres; the salt Innds to be exempt from taxation for twenty-live years, and exempt also from execution. ‘Tho Com- inittee on Indian Affairs has made a favora- blo report upon the bill, in witleh it fs said: Since some of these selections will contain valuable pino thnber, varying fh quantity and quality, and others noner in order to equalize benefits as nonrly ng may be, the bill provides for an uppralsetient and sale at public auction of alt the ierchintable pine thier upon thi fonds allotted as nforenult, the sate to be for tnsh, and to be removed within w period of t yours fro tho date of Bueh sale. It ts fur ther provided that ull tho uniiotted tins re- Inuining witht these two reservations shall then be appraised and sokl at public auetion for vas, In treeta not exeeuding elyhty aeres, ond in ke manner all tho fonda with In tho Lite de) Flatnbuat iteservution tire to be sold.) The itet proveeds of ull stich fates, fter deducting the expenses ine curred In surveys, appralgements, sules, snd re~ movitls, It 1B provided stall be Invested tn tho 4 per cent bonds of the United Stites for the ben- eftot all anid Indinns, the Intervst averting thereupoh to bo tntitially distributed to the members of sald bands for thelr support, cduca- ton, and efvillzation. Ttds estimated that thera will realized from tho gates of thaher aud Idrids, under tho proviatuns of this blll fully 81,000,000, the pine timber on the three reserva- tons hoing estinuted at from doe to 700 mlltfon feet, of good quallty, and contiguous to streams: for Hoating the sume to the iitls and markots. ‘This tinbur is now exposed to grent hazed from, [rvapnan, fire, and wind) and is unavatbte to the Indinns for any purpose, Tho Indians arp very poor, and unnble to subsist without aid from tho Uuyornment, which they are annually re- volving. ‘This scheme looks Ilke a good one for all concerned, If the full-grown {ndinn ean be Induced to settle upon a plece of Ind, ag3this DIU proposes, ze to work, earn lila Uving by Uilling the soll, and adopt the habits and eus- toms of tho wiiltes, the Indian protilein will be solved ns far ns he la concerned. In our Indian wars tt 1s computeil that It costa the General Goyarnment about $20,000 to ki an Indian. Goy, Pound ts of the opinion that It is much cheaper and more humnne to edu- date and clvillzs thom, If the valucorthe pine timber on these reservations Is not greatly overestimated, these Chippewa’ bands will have a handsome sum In bank from the pro- cvots of Ita sale to alil them in the purchase of necessary articles to begin life on a farm, ‘Thero aro other fragments of Indian tribesin Wisconsin and Minnesote to which the pro- visions of Gov. Pound’s bill might bo ndupt- ed, to the great benefit of these wandering nuisances, and to the rellef of the communi- tles whioh thoy Infest, ‘WOMAN'S RIGHTS AND HASH. For the first tine in our recollection a standard of revolt has been raised In 4 board: Ing-house and a solemn protest has been entered against hash. The elrountstances are somewhat interesting, Miss Sarah II.
