The National Guard, wiht the RtrottT ior 1882 give- in in. TtRESTING IN roRM ATION. The report of Adjutant General Latta to Governor Hoyt, for the year ending November 30, 1882, has been issued in hook form. It gives a history of the National Guard of the State, and pre sents a mas* of interesting statistics and tabulated information. "Ttiere are now in service," it says, "three companies of cavalry, three batteries ol artillery, and one hundred and thirty one companies of the infantry. The infantry are or ' ganized into fifteen regiment* and one battalion ; two companies are unattach ed. The batteries report direct to the division, and the cavalry is attached to the brigades. This force aggregating :>S4 commissioned officers and 7.636 en 1 listed men, is assigned proportionately to three brigades, they constituting one d'vision." Feferring to the I.ewistown encampment la*l summer, toe rejeiri say* it was the best of the series and the expenditure of the public money* for such purjsises was again justified. The spring inspections were conducted tinder general directions from the de partment. "It is an axiom,''continue* the Adjutant General, "that frequent, intelligent and instructive inspection* mold the effectiveness and progress of a military education Kifle practice ha* been more encouraged financially this year than previously. The First brigade has increased the number of qualified marksmen, but the strength of success ful practice remains with the Third, the Thirteenth regiment still retaining the full honor* of its intelligent and skill ful labor." The report add* that the scheme for the erection ol armories ia still meeting with encouragement. The Third regiment is fully completed and paid for. The corner stone of the First was laid on the 19th of April. The wall* are up to the third story, and it is confidently expected thst it will be oc cupied within another year. Tho re port of Brigadier General Snowden, of the First brigade, shows (bat there were in the brigade at the time of the fall inspections 172 officer* and 2,995 enlist, ed men, an aggregate of 2,.'<69. showing an increase of 22 officer* and 83 enlist ed men since the last report. Protection not a Blessing There msy have been a time away back in the history of our government wben protection or subsidy to manufac turer* in general wa* politic if not ne cessary, hut a tariff for other purposes thsn raising revenue ha* long since ceased to be wise. American industries bavs become so varied and extensive that where the tariff helps one it in jures other* far more seriously than the protected one could be damaged were there no tariff Many ol our industriea are bamnered by the duliea on raw ma terial. This revision that is the issue of many days of clamor in the two house* of congress has failed to remove the duties on such articles. In the struggle for the preservation of petty and personal interests the one great object—that of the publio welfare—was lost to view. A IlnriiiontoiiN I'm IT. The Republican member* of the dele gallon to tho late congros* from this ■ tale agreed to tiiiagree on tlio aubject v of tbo tariff. ( | Senator Cameron, Congressmen ltayne, Campbell, Krrett and Miller voted!' i against tbo now tariff bill, while the t remainder of tho Republican oongrewi „ men, with Colonel l!arr froui thi* di*- n trict at the head of the lint, voted for it, Senator Mitchell dodged. This ii harmony for you with a ven geance. This I* what come* of a pHrty which has "ideas." Hereafter Itepubli | can ism in this state can be quoted on all aides of tho tariff question with the j Mitchell clement neutral. Tho g. o. p. is to bo congratulated on the splendid coherence of its various factions on the great economical question of tbo time. { —llarriihurj J'atriot. i The Schuylkill I'oor Directors to he In dicted I I'OTTSVILLK, March 'J.—Trior to the ad journrnentof tho grand jury to day they made presentments against .John Mor- j gan, (ieorgu Kaufman and William, Neifort, Director* of tho Toor, for mis j conduct in office by purchasing large j suppliea of cigars and liquors for their own ugo with money belonging to the county of Schuylkill.

F'., March B.—The pre liminaty examination of Democratic; citizens of Fairfield county, charged with sundry violations of tho federal , laws at the last general election, was re surned before the I'nilcd States com ; nussioner this morning. Several wit ; neiwes for the Government were exam ined. Tbo hearing was adjourned until i Tuesday, the twentieth instant from the evidence thus far addu' ed, it is not considered probable that the Govern ment will make a case against the ac cused.

There i much more wealth among the tribes of the different nation* than is generally known, and those who have nn idea that the Indians in Ihe Tern'-n ry are a poor, poverty-stricken people, dependent on the Government for the means of living, are terribly mistaken. Take the Oaagww as an instance: they present the wesJtbiest body of people in ( the world.
