Only one man tried; and the Press, which supported President Grant, whose election was insured by the October re- sults, says the frauds perpetrated in Phila- delphia alone at that election were “in extent and enormity unparalleled.” Just histen: “The ballot box wat fore, or popular suffr iniquity wasp! tion day.

Noone knew better than the Presi- dent the absolute necessity of carrying Pennsylvania in October; and his most in- timate friends say that no one outside of the State was more confident than he of the result.

When such men as Addition, Division and Sileace KemBLE of Pennsylvania and Senator CLaytoy of Arkansas were placed the Grant National Executive Com- inittee, previous to the election, it was evi+ Jent that the choice meant business. The men who had charge of the Presidential canvass wore thoroughly alarmed at the time the Philadelphia Convention was hold, und they determined to make two tates sufe at all events, How the October ele var wer carried was thanilost Lhrough proceedix f Pennsylvania aud the testimony of trustworthy witnesses, Senator Rice has deen giving Congress some information in regard to the operations of the Chay- Tos officials in Arkansas, Which shows that the reputation acquired by that party for She bold and shameless perpetration of @e lou trguds was fully uiwiutalned last. jons in Pennsyl- me ago made in the courts fail, aresult which was doubtless aitici# pated when Chayron was put Om th@ National Committce, Senator Rie saya that after the registration of voters had. Deon completed the names of about thirty thousand Liberal voters were stricken from the Fist on various pretences; while seventoon thousand votes for GRANT wer returned which were never east at all. The scoundrels Whe for years have heen engagrd in the falsification of efections in Ack ansas were bound to do their best for NK, Who has been their constant friend aud protedtor, and they did it. But in regard to the elvctton of Gov- erher more extreme morsures were found bec cssary, for, ndmitting all the WWegal votes cast for the CLAYTON candidate, it was found that Jostru Brooks, the anti- CLayton candidate, was stil elected by 9,000 inajority. So in order to overcome this the CLayron officials threw out a great number of precincts where the Lib- erals had Jarge majorities, and in other precincts returned majorities for their own candidates greater by far than the entire registered vote! And the President has ordered United States troops to Arkan- us to sustain the baltlot-box stuffers in these outrages on the freedom of elections. All this will surprise no one who has been familiar with the flagrant frauds on the ballot box which have distinguished Arkansas elections for the past few years, and which have been uniformly encour- aged hy the acts of the President; but it is certain that all the men who voted for Grant did not fully understand thet in casting their ballots for him they wer voting their approval of just ench infa- mous pra es, Perhaps in time they will learn the significance of their action. A Sad Picee Business A Congressional document just pub- lished affords some new information re- garding the affairs of the Ottawa Univer- sity in Kansas, which, we regret to ey, fully confirms the unfavorable reports which have obtained circulation in regard to that institution. It appears that by the terms of a treaty concluded between the United States and the Ottawa TIn‘lians of Blanchard’s Fork and Roche de Beeuf, in 1862, provision was made for setting apart 20,000 acres of land, belonging to those In- dians, for the endowment of a sehoo! for the benefit of the tribe, amt also one sec- tion of land on which said school was to be located. Provision was also made ‘for the sale of 5,000 acres of the 20,000, the pro- ceeds to be used in the erection of proper buildings and in improvements ypon the section set apart for the school site; and the residne of the 20,000 acres wna to be solfand the proceeds applied to the sup- port of the schoo! Trustees appointed to, carry these pro- visions into execution took possession of the designated lands, selling a large pro- portion of them, and then proceeded to use the avails, not for the establishment of an Indian school, but for the endowment of a university for the whites. In relation to the disposition made of the moneys ac- quired by the sale of these lands, the Seere- tary of the Intertor says that, while the cation of thetmist contemplated the edu cation of the Ottawa Todians and thir ity, ‘it is manifest that affairs have Jueted with a view fo the educa. ipally, and that benefit in the way of education has heen obtained inbehalf of the Indians The Seeretary also says that the whole management of the trust fund has been | irregular and caretess, if not improvident rd wasteful, This extraordinary misapplication of trust funds having been brought to the attention of Congress, an act for the relief f the defrauded Indians was passed in Jone, 1872. This bill provided that the Sec- retary of the Interior should have an in- Ventory taken of all the lands remaining unsold 1 in the sixth section of the treaty 2, including all the lands set npart for the purposes of a university; also an inventory of all bouds, notes, mort- gages, &e., arising from sales of lands mens tioned in the said treaty arti r from sales of lands purcha’ el by the trns! provided for in that article; all of such lands, bonds and other property to be ap- praiced by three Commissioners to be ap- | pointed by the Secretary of the Interior. After such inventory and appraisement the Secretary of the Interior was required by the act to take possession for the United States, and to advertise and sell the same within certain linitatious named, ‘he Secretary of the Interior appointed Commissioners who proceeded to perform the duty required of them ¢o far as to in- vestigate the disposition made of the moneys received from the trust lands, But the Secretary determined to proceed no further in executing the duties devolved upon him by the act of Congress than causing an appraisement to be made, for a reason which he gives as follows: “Soon after the passage of this act several persons, most of whorl were connected with the Beptist. denomination of Christians, ay ance of the act of Congress before referred to, Veging as reasons for such request, first, that thie act was unconstitutional: secondiy, that it Was hastily passed without full spformation or eration; and, thirdly, that ft was Bapttst denomination of Chri it was alleged that they had reanization, contritnted © cor nount Of money toward the estab aschooland the ecntion of build in ss Which school is | krown as the Ottawa University Another reason given by the Secretary for his omission to fullll the requirements of the act was the refusal cf the agent in charge of the personal property belonging to the Ottawa University to deliver it so as to enable him to proceed with the sale. From the report of the Commission- ers it appears they found a good deal of difficulty in gaining the information re- quired; but finally they appraised all the property involved at the aggregate value of $108,518.55. They also report that th total amount which bas been realized by the trustees of the University from sourees other than the Indian lands ts $44,984.21, of which amount it is believed the greater part was contributed by Baptists, Beyond these contributions, and some lots ap- praised at €1,000, given by the town of Ot- tawa with the understanding that they were to contribute toward the maintenance of a white school, the Commissioners say they have ascertained nothing that could be termed a legal or equitable interest, such as is claimed by the Baptista who have the management of the University, The majority of the trustges have been Baptists from the first, and for the pi four years the Baptist Home Missiona Society has exereised supervision over the trust fund, The more thoroughly this unpleasant business is investigated, the worse it ap- pears for those who have had the control of the funds contributed by Indiana for the establishment of an Indian school, What makes the matter still more seanda- lous is the fact that the poor Ottawwas, Whore luuds Lave supplied te funds for builling and «matitaining the Ottawa University, aretn a xiate of extreme dosti tittion, It will not be believed by any in- tellixent man that the lange anid infiuential Baptist denomimation would conn tonanec: any attempt to defraut their Indian con verts; and it is, therefore, of the utmost importmee that pul licigy should be given to this business, in order that fhe great hody of may know of the injus tice Which a few men have endeavored to rpetrate in the name of the whole de- ymination, and by an indignant repudin- 1 of such acts avert a serious scandal ich threatens to fall upon their church, —— The Greeley Will Case. his shocking and deplorable quarrel is to be resumed before the Surrogate of West- chester to-day. But why is it not settled? What object, public or private, is to be at- tained by continuing such a controversy?
