PROPOSED LAW TO MEET THE CASE. Yesterday the District Commissioners ad- dressed a communication to Hon. Geo. F° Edmunds, chairman of the Senate Judiciary ittee, in which tasy state that a few ines they Occasion to request of torpeys of the District a report as to what, if any, criminal proceedings can be instituted against an officer of the District of Columbia for embezzlement of money of the District, and thas a report had been re- ceived from then that the crime of embez- zlement is not one at common law, out must be provided for by statute; that’ they had carefully exami. the statutes of tha Unt- ted States, including those relating to tne District of Columbia, and fad nove under which embezzlement by an oificer of the District of Columbia of funds belonging to the District can be punished. Section 60 of the Revised Statutes, relat- ing to the District of Co'umbia, does not ap- ply to the case; the sole remedy, as the law stands at present, isa civil one upon the bond of the officer and his sureties. Tne draft of a bill to supply the omission of the statute is submitted, which was also en- closed to Mr. Edmfnds. It is as follows: “AN ACT to punish embezzlement by officers, clerks and employes of the District of Co- Jumbia, Be it enacted, &e., U any officer, clerk or employe in the service of the istrict of Co- jum bia shail embezzie or convert to his owa use, or fraudulentiy take,make way with, or secrete with intent to embezzie or fraudu lentiy convert to his own nse, or citi, or wiliully misappropriate or wrongfully sell or dispose of any money, gcods, govern- ment bonds, United States Treasury notes, vernment stamps, warrants upon the Jpited States Treasur7, or other valuable sectrity or effects whatever belonging to said District or to any person or cory ration which shall come into his possession or under his care by virtue of such office, clerk- ship or employment, he shail, upon convic- tion, be punished io the manner prescribed by jaw for felonionsly stealing property of the value of the article or property so em- bezzled, converted, taken or secreted or of the value of any sum of money payable or due upon avy right to action so embezzled, converted, taken or secreted.” ie A Father Shoots His Unruly Soa. Jobn Henry Giddings, a rough-looxing young man, was arraigned in the Police Court to-day on the charge of fojaring pri- vate property. His father, Dominic Gid- dings, testified that on the night of the 23d of May he beard some one in his yard, and raising @ window called out Who's there?” No one replied to the inquiry and he clo3zea the window, when jnst at that moment a shovel came crashing through, scattering the glass in every direction. He caught up @ loaded musket and discharged 1t in the direction from where the shovel came, but Without effect as itappears. He then loaded up bis musket and went out back of his yard, where be saw this man (the son of witness) gather up some paving stones, and when in the act of throwing one at nim he fired again, this time wounding his son in thehip. He bad since learned that he sneaked out into the woods, where he ley about for some days, and was obliged to be sent to the hos- pital to get cured. After he got ont he came bome, and feeling sympatay for him witness gave bim some money with which he could get mcdicines; but instead of using it that Way he got drunk and unruly again, aut he (witness) now wished something done with bim, as he was a dangerous man. The court imposed @ fine of £10 on the unruly son, at the same time adding, for the beoefit of the old man, that it was @ rather free use of fire- arms he testified to. His son asked the court if he could bave a warrant for assault and battery against his father, and was informed that he could. So the case bids fair not to end in this way.

Dead and Living Indians “SHAWANO, WiS., June 25.—Darics Charles, sachem of the Stockbridge Indians, fell dead to-day, ai his residence on the res. ervation. The cause of his death was an af- fection of the heart.” Editor Star:—I fad the above in a western per. Charles was in Washington city in May last, seeking to frustrate the delega ton present here from the most ctvilized portion of the tribe, in getting Congres. sional legislation of an equitable character. At bis death he was upwards of fifty years of age, of mixed Pequot and Mohegan 0004, 48 well as some white. His grandmother is still living, nearly 100 years old, aud is one of the last of the Pequots, aad one of the very few who preserves its language, calle’ by the Mohegans the “Possam language.” Charles’ title of a‘-sachem” is not the Mo- hegan for “chief.” Tais is Wah-yay-wow, and also A ‘i, but they adoptci “sachem” think- ing it was the English for “chief,” in. stead of being an abbreviation with Duteh-spelling and Yankee pronuncta- tion, and a name for “chief” foreixa to every Indian language and unworthy of @ place in the English. Cooper wrote forty yoars ago, a novel styled “The Last of the Mohegans.” {t conveys as correct an idea of the real Indian as a picture of a French dancing master would of an orignal Tea- Broek Knickerbocker. And, so far from his hero being the last of the tribe, there ara some 400 of them still extant in Wisconsin, (besides some tn Canada, ) under their modern name of Stockbridges, taken from their for- mer residence at the missionary town on the bead waters of the Housatonic, in western Massachusetts. A company of Mohegan scouts fought on the American side in the Revolutionary war. Two companies of Mo- begans enlisted in the war of 1512, under the noted Mohegan chief, Hendricks, and a Capt. Jacobs, and in the ite onpleasantness” 70 Mohegan (or Stockbridge) soldiers, servei in the Union army, 60 of whom never returned. A delegate trom the most civilized divisioa of this tribe, Jacob Jacobs, is now in the city, stopping at the Parkinson.

Those who, having reai Cooper's novel, would like to see really one of “The Last of the Mohegans,’’ will! find him a pleasant, intelligent man, and a really civilized “Indian” At the same stopping place they wiil find two delegates from avother ancient tribe — the Huron—also here seeking justice and equity at the hands of a tardy government. These are known tn modern days as Wyan- dotte, (see also Cooper's novel, 80 called:) In their own language Waynda‘: of which there remain extant over 300 in the northeast cor- ner of the Indian territory, and nearly as many more in Canada, 12 miles from Detro! The cwo delegates are Matthew Mu'eater, (of the Turtle family,) who ts the eldest chief of the American branch, (bis Indian name being Tandeshura,) and Nicholas Cotter, | (Roanyias, “Strike-the-Cloud,”) who acts ag interpreter; though this chief understands English better than he can speak {t, and 1s a dignified, honest mav, who at home is a Stcck farmer. ‘ Strike-the-Clond” is an intelligent American in looks and language, and 18 like Yorick, “of infinite jest.” All three of these Indian delegates dress in American costume, and are Indians in race and langnage only, not in education.

How Do THE INDIANS CaBRY NEws?— During the war we used to hear @ great deal of the grapevine telegraph by which the ne- groes of the south heard the news in advance of everybody else, particularly of victories or defeats; and the [Indians have some way of commurication that is equally difficult of explanation. On Wednesday, at midnight, we had the first 8 by telegraph of Cus- ter’s defeat, but we are informed 07 the best authority that during that day several In- diaps, loafing about fur stores in this city, made anxious inquiries if such news had been received, and voluntarily stated the Substance of what came fifteen hours later by tel ph. Soon after the Indians made themselves scarce, fearing that excited pub- lie sentiment would make of them an expia- tory sacrifice for the Custer disaster—{ St. Paul Pioneer Press and Tribune, July 9.
