He takes thts view on account of the racticabiliiy of branding with an tron sven boxes, because it is llable to destroy them.

Black, was taken up—McPherson and Hine for plaintiffs, Mattingley and Riddie for the defendant. This casé comes up on bill of exceptions. Werd and Clarke sued Black for services in prosecuting Montana war claims, claiming #14,159.31, and the Circuit Court rendered a verdict for $11,322.65, of which the plaintiff remitted $4,075 95, and Judgment was entered for $7,215.69. The de fendant, on the trial below, objected to the contract, tending to show that they were employed to prosecute the claim for goo is furnished the territorial authorities. Tue defendauts submit that there being no evi- dence as to the value of plaintiffs’ services or that they had collected a dollar, they a not entitled to recover. Also, that the co: tract, being one to procure legislation for a contingent fee, and in atdition to that the contract ae on its face for the pay- ment of the Delegate in Congress from Mon- tana territory for services rendered by him in seeuring payment of the claims, is void. That theevidence shows that the whole effort of the plaintiffs was to secure legislation on the part of Congress, and that the act of July 15, 1570, was drawn by one of the plaintiffs. This, in connection with the provision in the contract for paying a delegate in Congress, ought to be conclusive of the invalidity of the contract as against pr ce policy.

It deals Toughly with the contractors in the west, who form there what is called the “Indian ring,” and recommends that they be awar.led bo further contracts, and be dismissed from ihe confidence of the government. It refers rome of their transactions to the Department. of Justice for prompt legal! prosecution.

The report abounds in many valu- able suggestions, looking to a better system of accountability at the agenc'es, insuring greater fairness In the contracts for transpor- tation avd supplies, curtailing unnecessary expenditures, ard providing safeguards against fture frauds. It contains import- ant suggestions as to the future policy of the government in regard to the Indian popula- Uoa, recommending a terriwrial government for the Indian territory, the establishment of courts, ue repudiation of their tribal sover- eignty. the extension of the criminal laws of the United States over Indi in reservations, the exaction of indivicual peepensinilty from the Indian for his acts, and the recogni- tion of the rights of individual property ia their lands with some ie, restriction eee upon their power of aliena’ SUICIDE OF A Banx CASHIER.—John T. uss, cashier of the First National Bank of Tiffin, Ohio, committed suicide last F: evening, by shooting himself heart.

The Pandora anchored, and it was found that the yacht was still standing witt masts upright, POLAR HEAR DEPREDATIONS.

FRANKLIN HEADBOARDS. One of the most interesting discoveries | made by the Pandora officers was that the | headboards over the graves of Sir John Franklin's men who were lying buried there were still standiug upright and in good pre- servation. A CRITICAL PERIOD. On the 26th of August the Pandora steam- ed away {rom Beecliy isiand for Peel stralt, and then ensued the most critical period of the entire voynge, for the steamer encoun- tered vast fields of pack ice. which made the cane of the vessel a most difficult and la- orious one. Str ice the Pandora steadily worked her way on- wari, and despite the difficulty soon passed the furthest point reached by the Fox when McClintock was in search of Sir Joba F rank- jin’s relics, AN UNKNOWN SRA. Soon after reaching that point the Pando- ra neared the isiand known as King Wil- liam.s Land, thus navigating in a sea where no sbip was ever before, except, per- baps, that of Sir John Frankiio. lere it was, no doubt, where the explorer was final- ly beset by the masses of ice that proved his destruction. From King Williams island the Pandora steamed down the west coast of Prince of Wales’ lant, and encountered most delicious weather. The atmosphere was soft aud refreshing, and the bittercoid of the Arc: tie zone was replaced by warm air currents aud open expaises of water. AN EXCITING MOMENT. At this lime the most intense excitement prevailed among the officers and mem bers of the expedition, us it was expected that some important results were at hand. Many be- lieved that they would besure to discover traces of the Franklin expedition, and some were sanguine that even Sir Jolin’s papers would be found. In this, however, the; were disa) inted. The Pandora eventually making Ecbring’s straits, the voyage of the steamer seemed to be In successful progress, as Rouquette island was airealy discerned ahead. It was then considered probable the vessel would be able vo reach Bel JoU's straits. c AN ICE BLOCKADE. As the steamer moved forwart all bands were gazing eagerly to the southward, but ou reaching Rouquette Isiand the officers and men saw the edge of the solid pack of ice, which stretched across the strait from side to side in one unbroken expanse of hum- mock ice. pack blocked the entrance to Bellot’s straits. It was the same pack of ice that stopped Capt. McClintock in the Fox, so there was no hope of @ speedy move- ment of the icy barrier.
