In Lii sermon oa "The Overruling Providence of God and the government of the ihyslcal nd moral world, he sail : "We should recognize the hand of GoJ, not only in the government of tho physical uni verse, but also in the moral government of the world. Complaints have some times been made iu certain juarteis, that the name of (Sod does not occur in the Constitution of the United States, and attempts have beeD made to have thit tallowed nama inserted in the charter of our liberties. ISut we need not be over-anxious to have this name written in the Constitution, so long as it is inscribed in the hearts of ocr peo ple, and especially of our rulers. I would rather sail under the guidance of an experienced Captain than put my trust in the figure-head at the prow of a ship ; and so long as our ruleis recog nize the controlling intluence-of Provi dence la the government of thetbipof State, we need not inscribe the nam j on the prow or the vessel. But if the framers of the Constitution id not in sert the narn of God in that instru ment, they, neverless, had devout faith in the guidance of a superintending Providence, by whom kings reign and law-givers give us ju-t things."

Ci:ok in his recent report mr.de to the Interior Doartrr.ent ia re gard to the origin of the late trouble with the T.'te Indians in Colorado, says : "From the outset, with bin ol slight interruption, the Indians were pursued incessantly, anil iu every case the whites were the aggressors and fired lirst." General Crook further siiys that in their manner of serving the warrants for the arrest of certain Indians charged with horse stealing, which was the cause of the outbreak, the civi! authorities acted improperly end that the subsequent slaughter of Indian warriors and chil dren will stand as a lasting disgrace to the State militia and cowboys con cerned in It. General Crook who has had great experience in fighting the In dians in ArionU and elsewhere and thoroughly understands them, went to the eceue of the trouble letween the Ctes and State troops f Colorado and made a full Investigation iuto the mat ter, so that his conclusions must be ac cepted as the truth. It is only a rep etition of the toryif four-fifths of the Indian outbreaks that have occurred in the Western country during tLe last twenty-live years.

It was a busy scene, that which passed daily about the State IIous", and the office of the Hoard of War, and the printing presses of Congress, iu th Square of old Yorktown. Here came (Safes with his gay retinue, after the splendid achievements of the Norrl -rn army, to preside over the Board of War, and to take those cruel secret measures atrainht his august chieftain which clouded forever the jnst renown of Ms otherwise glorious name. Here came "Laf avette to take the order of (,'orgress. and to ilritik confusion to the enemies I or ashirgton.

The (iorernor's Fatal F.rror. Governor Beaver means to commit the fatal error of denying the tax-payers any redrew for the crime or criminal neglect that defeated the new revenue bill at the close of thd last, Legislature. We sy la.al eiror, lor it is likeiy to provo fatal to ins pu'i ia lh S:ii!e con test, aud if u bhould no', piovj entirely fatal to the pny, it w.li t aiciy prove fatal political to Governor Beaver hiu.sell.

IIu with his It ars or prejudices ; he hesitat-j was next heard from in New Orleans, ed ana he was lost. He unould have J and th United States Pension Kx uemaiided iu the cleartst teims that the j aminers were after hiui there. It was crime perparaitd against the auihonty i reported, howevot, that he had diel of and dignity ot a great Cominou r ealm should be exposed and the guilty or negligent parlies punished. Governor Beaver was left entirely without excuse for ittusmg to call the Legisl Uure by the published statements in these columns of a clear majority of the members of tbe legislature declare lng over their own signatures, that the service of an extra session should te rendered without cost over actual ex panses. Tbnt assurance alone should have made the Governor call the Legis lature without delay ; but when a clear ma.iorlty ot the immediate representa tives of the people also declared their desire to re-enact substantially the lost bill, it was a command to the Governor that he should have obeyed promptly and gladly. Them will only one interpretation of Governor Beaver's refusal to recall the legislature to enact a new tax Dill. It will be sincerely believed that cor porate influences are omnipotent in his counsels, and that while he remains Governor the people must pay not less than a million ot annual taxes which should be paid by corporations. What ever may be Governor Beaver's reasons for refusing to uflord relief ta the peo ple, he will by justly judged by the piactlca! results ; aud the chief practi cal result of the refusal to have an extra assion, will be to load the ieople with a million of taxes and relieve corpora tions of a like amount. If the Republican State candidates are alive to their own interests they will open wide the doors about the Execu tive Chamber to let the voice of the leopJe reach the ears of the Governor. If he shall allow himself to learn the wishes of the tax-payers, he will not refuse to retrieve his past error as far as possible by promptly recalling the leg islature. If he shall not allow himself to be advised of the popular demand for a revision or our oppressive tax Saws, the liepublicao State ticket will tw foolishly, wantonly exin.sed to more than possible defeat. iV.i7a.

It was ex tremely fortunate that Lieutenant Bur nett arrived upon the scene of action as be did, as there can be no doubt that his presence saved the lives of Kendall's entire party and prevented a serious out break. There is no question that the warrants eoold have been served with out difficulty had thtiir service been properly undertaken. The latest information about the Indian troubles at the San Carlos Agen cy, Arizona, is from Captain Pierce, in command of the ieservation, who says thil when the Sheriff came with twen ty men Kskimir.in agreed to surrender, with his men, and arrargementn were made for the trial next day before Jndge Scott at n Pedro. Six Indians came in and Fskimiz.in was to come in the next morning. That night, however, armed white men ram from all direc tions, and when Eakimirin learned of the situation he decided not to come in, but to report to the military officer in charge of the agency. The Judge and District Attorney disagreed as to juris diction and the six Indians were taken to Florence for tiial. Had a Penchant for Widows. Cleveland, September .'SiJ. A bold and successful case of fraud in drawing pensions has been brought to light by the United States authorities. General Black, Commissioner of Pensions at Washington, has been engaged for sev eral mouths in examining the tolls of pension agencies, and in his investiga tion he discovered that thete were a great number of widowed pensioners residiug in Toronto, Canada. The num ber was so large as to excite his sus picion, and he sent for the papers iu the claims. He subsequently learned that James II. McGindley, alias J. II. Mar tin, alias II. B. Mason, was the attor ney in all these cases. The former residence of these widowed pensioners had bt-en uiacy. 111., nut for some unaccountable reason thsy had all moved to Canada. When Gen eral Blank made these discoveries he coi.6ulted General McE. Dye, chief of the special examination division of tbe Pension Bureau, and the matter was placed in the hands of a special ex aminer. It ia claimed that the exami nation resulted in lindiLg that fraudu lent vouchers had been made out by McGindley, who has succeeded, it is alleged, in cheating the Government out ot over 515.0jO br his slick schem ing. McGind.ey has resided here for sometinif, and was arrested to-day. .McGmaiey had a hearing before United Spates (tommissionr r U'illimr.e this afternoon, and was bound ovei to yellow fever. He did not contradict the reprt, and the Government detective went back to Washington firmly be lieving the man was dead. McGindly to-night made a full con fession, admitting that he was the man the officers were after and that he has 1-een carrying on a fraudulent pen sion b-jsinefls for nearly 2d years, secur ing many thousands ot dollars. The Grand Army and the President's V et oes. Very wisely, and with a unanimity that was pleasing to contemplate, the National Encampment of the grand Ar my of the Republic crushed out a series of resolutions referring to President Cleveland's pensiou vetoes In terms the reverse of complimentary. Such inso lent voicing of the spirit of Tuttl-ism ia the councils of the veterans has been choked off none too soon for the 'credit of tho ex-soiaiers. There is a general disposition among the people to call a iremplory halt o:i this wholesalo pension business. While no man who fought in the civil war will te permitted to suffer, the ieople have oecoiue proroumlly impressed by the stupendous aggregate of the annual pen sion list, which already exceeds in amount those of all other nations of the world combined. The cry of pension agents for open Treasury doors will not be regarded by Congress which under stands Its duty to the whole people. The veteran soldiers are not paupers, and would not seek to levy a tax upon the country ; but while there exists an oveiflowing Treasury there will remain a constant temptation to indulge in pen sion raids of one form or another. After tbe surplus shall have ben cut down the clamor for pensions for every body will cease, because it will have notning to feed upon. The great mass of the people are quite of one mind with their President in their views concern ing this matter. Thila. Jltcord. Land Graotn In a nutshell.

The six-ytar-old son of a Ker.tv.i ty man Is acquiring uotorii-ty as a weather prophet. Tbe child i3 small for Ms age, and can not yet talk plainly, but hns developed barometrical powers to a wonderful degree. Since he was four years old his parents, who are respectable and reliable people, declare that he has foretold every r.V.a, hail storm or snow storm, and even ti e light showers and sprinkles so plentiful in the spring of the year. One day recently, while the sun was blazing down with inten'-e heat, the child came into tlie houst from tbe yard, where he had been intently gazing at the heavens, and predicted a heavy r liii-aioiio, to be followed by a profuse fall of hail. In the afternoon his prophecy wr.s verified by a heavy storm. A horse that delivers papers is an object of general interest and admiration in the city of Indiar.op(,!:s. Thn animal delivers papers to over one hundrei subscribers, never miss'.cii one in his rounds and is as prompt as clock-win k. Tbe animal Is as sisted in his labors by a small boy who hands out the papers, but it does not mat ter whether the boy knows the route or not as thu horse is perfectfully familiar with it.

The Farmer's R:inr has cstlr.iatod tha con dition, based on reports of its correspon dents up to September 17, at only f.7 per cent, of an average crop.
