"At the meeting, from what I ap proximated by various reports from all accessible sources, i mier mar, me native aboriginal 'inhabitants were about 20,000 souls, extending 54 deg., 40 mia., to Unalaska, mostly settled in villages along tne snores, upon islands, estuaries, tc, in locali ties best adapted to their special pur suits, fishing, hunting, fur trading, etc. I made a succinct address m which I portrayed to them tba ad vantages of civilized habits and modes of industry in prompting com fort over their present condition, and took the responsibility of informing them that by the Great Father at Washington, as wen as ny dosis oi onnd neonlft throuirhout the United States, if they, the assembled chiefs, expressed a desire to ne eaucaica and learn to lire like the "Bostons" (Chinook appellation for tho Ameri can people), they would be assisted by teachers and others sent to in struct them. The chiefs aud others present at the meeting purported to represent about tnrco tnousana bouis. They expressed tbe most earnest as sent to my proposition, and volun teered that if teachers, ministers, etc., were sent to instruct them they would build churches and school houses at their own cost and labor, which hev are comnetent to do. as thev are all expert in log architecture on primitive principles. In tbe re marks by one oi tne cuieis at tue nneting, interpreted to me, . he said: "Boston" had come among them in great numbers for a good while, and had trot rich by buying their furs, but that my proposition was iuc urai time that anything .had ever been proposed to them for their good.

If Government and missionary aid is extended toward them for civilizing purposes it should be in a form some what modified from the formula now riQe hv the Indian Department. There should be no attempt to aggre gate them on reservations, nor to change their pursuits, but only in crease their industries. They have eadw ntilized the climate and topography by the selection of village sites, where fur trading, fishing, hunting, etc., can be most advantage ously conducted. The Fort Simpson Missionary Station is tueir ideal oi civilizing effects, where Key. Dr. Duncan is iu; jistrate, minister, mer chant and general adviser, who shows as marked an effect upon his flock as missionary influence ever exerted in the Sandwich Islands. If the appeal of these people should meet a favorable notice from official sources at V ashington, as well as from the missionary influence now active in Indian affairs, all the troops might be withdrawn lrom Sitka, and revenue cutter to cruise along tne coast, calling from time to time at the several village stations (as tne British now have Bervice on their side of the line, among the same race of peonle.i would keep smuggling in hetter cheek than now. restrict the whisky traffic by the coasting schoon ers now in the business, ana insure good order, equal or better than at present.

Yours, respectfully, John A. Carr. Deputy Collector at Urangei, Alaska. The Control of the Seat Ilonae of Rep resentatives. The very suggestive statement, tra the Alhany Journal, is made says th lat eighty-five vxembers of the next, ' Fourtj:fourth ' Congress either or served in the rebel army or held posi tions under the rebel government. We suppose the number embraces th iose in the Senate as well as those D OC the House. And yet there can ly be very few in tbe Senate. We " 1 n not know tne exact numuer, out examination of the list shows an tb at it probably does not exceed five at tbe most, ine remainder are in the House What does this statement mean ! 'J r-i Ml 7. It means that the control of the next House of Representatives is in the . , V.l , .11 . hands of those who were personally othciallv. and achvelu ennaned in carrying on the rebellion and seeking to destroy the aov eminent. It means iUUCAiiejcir yyiiv rtrtr.u. 11 tixctui that the mastery of legislation and of ihk nrc. cif tKn nafiAn find Eeen a, quired by those who wero lately seeking to break up the Union. For consider the facts. The Democrats have 1C3 members of the next house, being a majority of 60 over the Re publicans. Of this whole Democrat ic strength, 82 is a clear majority. Of this 82, the actual fighters or of ficers under the rebel flag have nt least 80, possibly the fall 82 cer tainly enough, with the help of one or two Northern dough-faces where a score could easily be had, to give them an unquestioned majority on the Democratic side. Now what follows? The House of Representatives, with it3 power over legislation and all the appropri ations, is under the control of the Democratic members ; the Democrat ic ; members are umler the con trol of the caucus which deter mines the policy of tho party; the caucus is under control of a majority of its members; and that majority, as we have seen, is made up of those who served in tne rebel army or un der the rebel government. Thu3 it nnnipu to nn?s that thosft who were only the other day fiirhtinir to destroy the government have now, through tbe Democratic party, secured pos session of the power to say what it sliaii aua wnai it snau no-, uo. This is certainly a significant and startling result. It shows Gist of all that the eovernment wbose legisla tion permits such a possibility has been anything but "oppressive' ana tvranuical'i in its treatment of tbe defeated rebel foe. It shows in the mere'tiracticabilitv of such a result a magnanimity unparalleled in the nistory ot tne woria. uut it aisu raises other questions of tbe most suggestive character. Whether the appropriations for carrying on the government shall be made will de pend upon those wno arc just iresn from the attempt to overthrow the government. Whether the principal and interest of the debt incurred in saving tbe Union shall be paid will depend upon those wbo tougnt to hrenk tin the Union. Whether the pensions of the maimed and crippled 1 i v li l I continued Union soldiers snail be continueu will depend upon those who struck the wicked blow. Whether tho true and loval men of the South shall have any protection will depend up on tueir uiuer iocs, ahcouj threat has been made that the appro- . r . it. nnA nihnr on their bitter foes. Already the nriations for the army and other vital national purposes shall bo cut off. And whether they shall or not is for those who fought under tne rtbel flag to iJ. Isn't this a most extraordinary stale of thinira ? Isn't it an astonish ing result? It seems but thu other day that after four years ot bloody war, costing millions of lives and billions of treasure, the rebellion was finally subdued. Had any one, on that great day of Appomatox Court house, predicted 'that in less than ten years the American people would put tbe control of the House of Rep resentatives in tbe lands of the reb els there defeated, would be not have been pronounced a madman ? And yet that is precisely the result we now see, as the result of the Democratic success. Many who shar ed in bringing it about doubtless had no thought of such a conclusion. And how do they like their work ? A 4rtER "AD.1 flow a Mlnueao Merchant AU His Debtors to Par I p. NOTICE. My Dear Sir.

Williams, Attorney Gener- Dear Sir: As an humble citi zen of the State of Texas, I beg to call your attention to tho fact that in the months of June and July last mnnv act s of lawlessness and crime were perpetrated in DeWitt County, in this State, by a party oi men uis guised by mask3 and other devices to prevent recognition by persons otherwise knowing them. ineir conduct was most cruel and bloody character, resulting in the loss of many innocent lives, botn coiorea and white. So powerful was the combination that the civil authorities became paralvzed and completely overpowered. The Governor in the month of July last, sent a company of State roops there to aid the civil autnori ies in the enforcement of the law, but hampered them with such in structions that tbey have been of but i;in -o.'l orvninct the mnrilprons lltllv ai.u o w - ... purposes of the Kuklux confederation.

The secret conclaves of tne miuDigtit assassins nave urea permitted to assemble for nnlawfnl purposes in open daylight, and with their paraphernalia of war, in sight of Capt McNulty's camp, and in de fiance of law and an fctate autnonty, have fired into a portion of his com mand, killing two horses and seri ously wounding one of the State troops. For this daring.outrage and 'wan ton insult to the State authority, the cut-throats made no apology to Capt. McNulty, and the State quietly pocketed the insult. Some of said banditti, having turned State's evi dence, sought protection for their Iive3 in Capt. McNulty's camp, where they should have been pro tected and provided for until the sitting of the court. But such was not done The witnesses, for rea sons I need not here explain, were advised by Capt. McNulty to leave the country, which they did, he giv ing them all tbe assistance he could to get them off. Satisfied that the authorities were insufficient to punish such offenders of law and order, es pecially in the absence of material testimony, I, of my own accord and individual expense, hunted said wit- neaooa nn 'and in October last hrnno-ht them before United States Commissioner Sanford Mason of Gal- x-estn fall Commissioners in that section having from fear reiusea to i ... . act in the matter) wno issued pro- tm i.ni.iiina nf them to tie oaii mvui;-u.Uv r- -- airnitw? o ml ivrnnrrht heflirft him arrested and brought before him for examination.

A good many years ago one of tho most notorious thieves in the United States had a confidential conversation with a gentleman who is now one of our most efficient detectives, and ex pressed a desire to reform. "Why do yon wish to live so much oa the square," said the gentleman. "Be cause," replied the thief, "I have a wife and children to whom I am very mnch attached; they have no idea of the mode in which I am making my living; the children are growing np, and are beginning to wonder why I leave home so often, and what 1 do; and if ever I am to reform now is the time. The gentle man warmly approved the idea, and to further it loaned the maa several hundred dollars with which to begin an honest business. The reformed man at once broke off all his associa tions, lived a perfectly honest life, would havo no dishonest person call on him, devoted himself for years closely to busines?, raised bis family respectably, did a great many acts of unostentatious charity, and died not long since estetmied by all who knew him. His children are doing well and are highly respectable. Tho money advanced wag long since re paid. The Bamancw of It. A Rockland county (N.

Here is a portion of it: "Sunday night. It has just struck twelve and I am still writing. What are,these thoughts that surge across my heart? What is this strange longing after the nnattainable?

Devotion to science becomes alarm ing. A young Frenchman recently issued the following advertisement: "A young man of twenty, healthy, and possessing a strong constitution, offers himself as a subject to a doc tor or medical Etident. He is wil ling to undergo any kind of opera tion, even at the risk of its proving fatal, on payment of 200, as he is in want of that sum to carry out a scientific experiment." Was Waiting. A strancer was making some in quiries of a policeman in regard to the price of real estate in the city, having about madii up his iuiad to settle here. He had on such a fear fal dirty shirt that the officer was forced to remark about it, when tho maa replied: "Well, I've kinder been waiting to see whether I should buy or not, and as soon as I make up my mind about it I'm going to put on a clean one. Heath la tbe Cellar. Many farmers are in the habit of putting all kinds of vegetables in the cellar and then banking close, arid presently all sorts of odors come up the cellar stair, for there are onio ns, turains, apples, and pork; often but ter and milk are kept there, and one imparts odor to tbe other, making a perverted mixture comparable to a Dutch boarding house, where every thing is sour but the vinegar. Yeg etableB that impart a strong od r should not be put in the cellar at a!!, or at least in small quantities. No more than a bushel of turnips ehould ever be put in a ce'.'mr. but some put in the crop of an ace of rula bagus, which Boon begin to sweat, when they taint tbe whole house. The true way is to have an out-door cel lar for vegetables, especially sautb of Pennsylvania. A cellar under a barn is useful, and there all tbe odorous vegetables should be stored, permitting the cellar under the house to be kept a3 sweet and clean as any of the rooms above. Medical men are well aware that cellars originate fevers, and some bave given the Dame "cellar-fever" to tbe diseases that originate from foul cellars.

Cremation in Alaska. A Sitka correspondent of the Saa Francisco Alia, in a recent letter writes: "The Ilooiia tribe of Indiana, a few weeks ago sent a deputation of well armed warriors to this place, where the Sitkas live, to treut with them for the fall value of a certain demised tiquaw of the Huona tribe, whoso existence a Sitka Luck a few mouths ago beforehand, by the ac cidental discharge of his gun, cut short. The council was held last night on the beach at Indian Towu, a few yards from our commanding oBieer's house; the Hoonas taking care to leave eumo of their number in the canoes and a!loat. Evidently the red nun are not of an over-con fiding nature. After much arguing for and ajraitist, the cash value of tha defunct lady of Huona descent waii found to be one thousand yards of calico, four camphor-wood boxes, fourteen mu-kets and sixty blanat..

A few nights after, wuen tho :Hoonas Lad gone home ,a Chilcat Indian, w ho wus on a vinit to bis Sitka brcthern, repaid their hospitality bv making minro meat of a stalwart Sitka warrior, and then absconding.

Inrlj Vegetables. A "warm garden" is not very well suited to cehry, cabbnga, horse rad ish, turnip-, and other fall crops. Nor is it at all favorablo to raspber ries and many fruits, most of which indeed prefer to grow where the ground does not get over warm ia summer time, but for early vegeta bles, a site which has a dry bottom and lies to the southeast is aa excel lent thing to have. Moat early vegetables do not re quire a great heat to bring thpm for ward, ami this is particularly the caso with rr.di.-he! and lettuce.
