the bill appropriating the money
necessary to pay Russia ior the lobe

We agreed to pay $7,200,000 in

charged that that Power actually re

§2,200,000 were expended in lobby

that Mr. Robert J. Walker was con

failure of the appropriation, and sug

naturally looked to the daily press for

issued an order of Court, prohibiting
its publication, The proprietors of

ground that the trial was public, and
that the Judge had no more right to
prohibit the publication of the publicly
given testimony than he had to order
each spectator not to mention to*his

made a great show of asserting its

Our Washington Letter
Washington, Dee. 6, lsi;«.
Washington is itself again. The
hotels and boarding houses are
crowded with strangers; landlords are
indepetulcnt, and cheap boardiug-
Itouse keepei-s pul on airs. All kinds
of provisions has taken :i sudden rise,
and everybody seems to Im full of
business, present or prospective. It
is harvest time of the year for perma
nent residents, blacklegs and politi
cians, but just the reverse to the un
fortunates not in the "ring.”
Writing the word "ring,” reminds
me that there are an tmusunl
number of political “rings” in full
operation just now—the members of
which have been swarming in upon
us in small squads during the last two
weeks—taking to the Capital as
naturally as buzzards to carion. There
is first in order the " whiskey ring,”
which, lor the last six years, has done
a vast amount of work, and made a
large amount of money for themselves
and their friends, their
being counted by millions *
The special business on hand now
is to increase the tax on distilled
liquors. ’Phe road, to an outsider, is
very much up hill; but the engineers
are confident of success.
Next in order comes the " Inltrnal
llevenue ring.’’ Tli'ih combination
last year was mainly cinbrneAsl within
the ibriner ‘•ring.’’ But the mu
organization is going in strong to
make an independent department <4
revenue. .Mr. Hollins, the nresvtii
Cointni-v-ioner, if not al the Itcad, i
iH*t tar livliitid. in tlii« ntovenieul.
He claims t<» have always favored the
idea, but delicacy bcrcUdure has pre
vented him from taking nnv decided
action; now, however, that be is soon
to retire from office, he feels at liberty
to speak. General Schenck is said to j
favor the plan, as well ns several other
hard-workers in the Republican party.
It is pretty certain the measure will
be brought forward Carly in the
approaching session.
The *• Treasury ring” is the next
in importance, money and influence.
Tho work before this self constituted
body of patriots is to head oft’ a rcor
ganizntion of the Department. These
gentry have become ularmed at the
sudden popularity of the plan pro
posed at the last session by .Mr.
J clicks, of Rhode Island. This, or
sonic similar bill, will. undoubtedly
pass, for many Republicans honestly
favor and will vote for the reorgani
zation ; while the Democrats in Con
gress, as a body,’will favor it, if for
no other reason than that under it
many of their friends will he retained
in office, while it will diminish tho
working force oi the Republican
party. They would vote for anything
to keep Republicans out or Democrats
in office. The Indian Bureau Ring,
always formidable, whose history runs
back as far as the memory of man, in
this country, has suddenly loomed up
iuto huge proportions. The President
elect, Lt. general Sherman and many
leading and influential politicians,
favor turning the management of
Indian affairs over to the War De
partment, believing that in this man
ner alone can the enormous frauds,
now so notorious, be prevented, there
by saving money, and open up away
for a permanent peace with the Red
Man ; for it is very generally believed
that the cupidity of interested parties
causes most of the troubles. This is
so generally the opinion that a bill in
favor of the change would meet with
little opposition in Congress were it
not for parties interested in the pres
ent management. The "Ring” is now
bringing every influence to bear to
prevent this consummation, and have
eVen gone so far as to show, by fig
ures, that under civil management the
Department cost only forty millions
per annum, while under the proposed
plan it will cost three hundred and
fifty millions per annum. I suspect,
however, these' figures arc made to
lie. Better, however, spend the latter
amount for one year and accomplish
something, than to pay the former
sum annually for scores of years with
out any apparent good result. The
leak from the Treasury through the
Indian Bureau, during the last ten
years, has amounted to a sum of
money bordering on the fabulous.
Secretaries, head of Bureaus, agents,
speculators, contractors and sutlers,
with their retinue of assistants and
friends, have all made themselves rich
at tiiis public teat.
A few honest men, under the lead
ership of Grant, propose to stop this
wastage, with what success remains to
be seen. It is not human nature to
give up a "good thing” without a
struggle. Huff struggle is now about
to commence. - Some of these Indian
agenciw are mines in themselves, when
skilfully worked. One of the agents,
a few years ttgo—the son of a promi
nent Judge in this city—under the
reign of .President Polk secured a life
lease to au agency by marrying a
squaw. The last "ring” to be men
tioned —that of the Post Office—is of
comparatively little importance, so far
as yet has been developed. There is
a half-way assurance that this depart
ment of the Government will be self
sustaining another year. Ido not be
lieve this desirable state of things can
be reached until there is a new order
of things throughout the South, and
the abuse of the franking privilege
has been stopped. So long as the
mails carry more "dead” than “live”
matter, Uncle Sam will be called «4>on
to make up an .imiual deficiency. Our
mail system, at least, is expensive,
cumbrous, and unwieldy, and the
time may possibly arrive when letter
carrying will be left to private enter
prise.
There are other rings here of which
1 shall write at another time—all,how
ever, of minor importance. There are
always combinations—two rings work
ing together—to which reference will
be made as soon as fully developed.
The indications now arc, that the lo
nian Bureau and Revenue Rings will
combine for common defence. There
is a hitch somewhere as yet, and they
do not work evenly.
Some unenlightened individual
might infer that all political combina
tions to secure certain measures are
necessary for dishonest, or, to say the
least, unpatriotic purposes. But it is
only when these combinations have
become so powerful as to shape legis
lation, or attempt to do so, against the
known judgment of the majority,
that, in tho technical language of the
capital, are they designated as "Rings”
proper. These organizations are ne
cossarily composed of members of
both political parties aud every grade
in society ; they set <»ut to accomplish
an object against the wishes of the
majority. lienee, a ring always pos
sesses a great diversity of talent, and
they can produce an advocate who is
the exact counterpart of any particu
lar man whom they wish to influence.
If money is the weakness of a man, it
is forthcoming; if it is honors, they
are promised ; and so on to the end of
the catalogue of human infirmities.
These combinations are not peculiar to
our country or Republican institu
lioiis, but were entered into as far
' l>*< k as the days of the apostles, and
?vlll doubtless continue until the mil
leniuui.

My predictions in relation to the
mission of Reverdv Johnson have
been more than verified, and he will
leave our "dift'erem es” with England
in a more complicated state than he
found them. Al the State Depart
ment, Revcrdy is considered, just now,
an elephant of monstrous proportions.
And still, it is believed Mr. Johnson
has been carrying out “original in
structions;” but then, you know’, pub
lic opinion in this country isallpowcr
fnl. What this is has been very
clearly indicated, and accordingly our
Minister at the Court of St. James is,
“left”—to use a phrase more expres
sive than elegant—"to hold the
bag.” .
General Howard, being in favor of
breaking up the Freedmen’s Bureau,
that institution will cease to exist—
at all events, in its present extended
shape—on the Ist of January, 1869.
There are influential delegations
here from Virginia, Mississippi and
Toxas, urging a continuance of the
Bureau machinery in those States for
another year, and their efforts may be
successful. The school system will bo
continued in all the States.
The last dispatch from the Indian
country furnishes reason to hope, that,
under the sharp blows of Sheridan and
Custar, the war may be brought to
an early close. Custar, who commands
the main advancing column, has al
ready surprised the Indians by his
rapid work as he did Gordon’s com
mand by appearing in front of it at
Appomattox Station on the Bth of
April, 1865, which maneuver caused
the surrender of Lee on the following
day.
Some of the leading Congressmen
are very anxious to make this exclu
sively a business session, and oft' all
buncombe speeches, and cOme down
to real work. It is to be hoped they
will be successful; if so, a long holi
day will be taken at Christmas.
Most of the time during the past
month the weather here lias been
unusually delightful for tho season of
the year; but just now we’arc enjoy
ing the tail end of a mid latitude snow
storm —just enough snow to make the
walking next to intolerable, and no
sleighing. Either of the extremes
would be a relief. Capital.
[From the St. Louis Republican, 3d.
Black Kettle, the Late Head Chief of
the Cheyennes.
Black Kettle, head chief of the Chey
enne nation, reported killed by Gen
eral Custar’s command, was a man of
more than ordinary natural ability,
and has held a distinguished position
for years among the tribes of the west.
He w r as more noted as a leader in
council than as a warrior, and many
years ago received the designation of
the “Orator of the Plains.” If is age
must have been about fifty-six. lie
was the son of "High Black Wolf, ’
and forty-three years ago, at the treaty
with the latter, on the Little Missou
ri, Gen. Harney was presented with
the boy Black’ Kettle, and adoj)ted
him as’ his son. At the council last
year at Medicine Lodge creek, the cir
cumstance was not forgotten by either
the general or the Cheyenne chief, and
a strong friendship was renewed, and
a reciprocal presentation of presents
took place. Black Kettle seemed to
be in earnest in his desire for peace,
aud appeared anxious to brio# into
the council the treacherous “dog sol
diers,” whose tomahawks were reek
ing with the blood of many innocent
whites. He admitted that ho had no
control over his-young men, who went
on the war path in opposition to his
advice and wishes, and to this cause is
doubtless owing the massacre on tho
Saline and Solomon rivers that have
led to the severe punishment by the
military of the Cheyennes in which
the chief lost his life.
At the battle of Sandy Creek, Nov.
4, 1868, Black Kettle, who was in
command of the Indian camp, was
fired upon while holding the American
and a white flag in his hands. He was
supposed to be killed, but was not-
Chivington telegraphed to Gen. Cur
tis that Black Kettle with White
Antelope and Little Robe were among
the killed. Black Kettle had, pre
viously to the Sandy Creek massacre,
accompanied Maj. Wynkoop to Den
ver, having voluntarily given himself
up. An extract from his speech to
Gov. Evans affords a favorable speci
men of oratory. He said :
I followed Major Wynkoop to Fort Lyon,
and Major Wynkoop proposes that wc come
to see you. AVc have come with onr eyes
shut, "following his handful of men, like
coming through the fire. All we ask is that
wc may have peace with the whites. Wc
want to hold you by the hand. Y’ou are
our fathers; we have been travelling through
a cloud; the sky has beep darkened ever since
the war began. These braves who are
-with me are all willing to do what 1 say.
We want to take good tidings home to our
people, that they may sleep in peace. 1 want
you to give all these chiefs of the soldiers
here to understand that wc are for peace, and
that we have made peace, that we may not
be mistaken by them for enemies. I have

came here we came free; and when I go
