Frlaay Morning, May 25, lo73. Thh Poob Ihdian,?A letter from Port** land, OYegoo, to the New]&>rk World, ?ays that a new religion baa beoome very popular among the aavagea in Oregon, Idaho, Washington and Montana. Pro? phets go among the different tribes, pro? claiming that the earth will opes and a wallow up the whites, and that the In? dians will 'again possess their hunting grounds. They toaoh that no good In? dian can be friendly with tho perfidious and oruol pBle-raoee; that he must, not imitate them in anything, neither in houses, dothw,-bing^lage, nor edaoa tion; neither most be believe in their | God, m?;^^oiamVte |?@>e born a* a delivoror of the Indiins, who will anni? hilate the whites, and take- the tribes to . a world of^pl&^-^panpMiiji whloh | these feroolooa prinoipi,ba*?re taught are the prlnoljwi amusement ; of several tribes. Th'j oonvert* to the new faith | are knowi. as "dreamers," ? 'drummera" and "amoke-hollowe," owing ;to their | habit o! telling dreams and; predicting ; from them the future. The latter ap? pellation is derived fiom their principal prophet, SmokehoHow, a character who has now an assemblage of 2,000 of the different tribes encamped on the Snake River, in Idaho, about 500 miles from Portland. It is not wonderful, after all. that many of the Indians' have become desperate, seeing the greediness of the whites to seise all their territories from the mere lust of possession, and not from any present want of tho land. Va- j gabond whites and professional, army contractors on the frontier have goaded them to frenzy by every species of mean? ness and outrage,-and. the, froirit of Tt?<3 Jacket and Tecumseh revives in the breast of the miserable Indian, to turn on his persecutors afad resist desperately. The fame of a multitude of Indian war? riors and tribea, who were noted in the warfare with the early settlers of the country, is commemorated in the names of many a town and river. . Powhatan, Tecumseh, Black, Hawk, Cherokee, Mo? hawk, Nurragaodett, Miamji Red Jacket] and many other aboriginal names meet the eyes of that ihBaliato auimal, the American land-shark: with something of the reproach which the slayers of the olden prophets felt as. they, looked upon the tombs of their victims. There must be a tinge of remorse in the feeling which prompts us to pay this tribute of respect to the. warriors and tribes who laid the towns of our anoestora in ashes, wasted their fields, and tried to blot oat their very race. Some prize .bull or blooded Maltese may bear*off the blue ribbon at the next State Fair, under the name of Captain Jaok, and a raoer with the soubriquet of Modoo may oarry off the honors of the Metairie, Long Island and Kentucky turf., --*???<??-?-<--r- Y. ? Tab Chief Justices.?The recent death of Chief Justice Chase reminds ua of the fact that this high position has been filled by ! seven ' persona. The World's statement that "wo can count the named of oar CUiof Justices, on the fingers of a single baud," is. incorrect, utiles-i the World holds .a hotter hand than wo have any row sou to believe; but tho fact is worth noting that the eighty-odd years" of tho Presidenten office have iuruiahed -near a aoore of names; those rarely distinguished., by the head of tho Supreme Court uro only John Jay, John Rutledge, '.William Cushing, Oliver Ellsworth, John Marshall, Boger B.Taney and Salmon P. Chase. True, the World claims that John Rutledge and William Oushing were nover Chief Justices in fact; but tho latter Watt nomi? nated and confirmed, if be never took his seat; while the former did preside over the Supremo Court?to which he was chosen in tho recess of Congress? although his nomination was not subse? quently confirmed. What name may succeed these eminent ones upon the roll, it is pare guess work to speculate upon. The ways and wishes of the affeotionato Ulysses are inscrutable. Whether the whim may seize the President to appoint a gentleman and a jurist, or whether he may iollow a list of honorable names with that of some parasitic shystor, is as uncertain as is his locus in quo twelve hours at a time.. We shall see. Kino Guolbka.? There seems to be little doubt that the cholera has made its appearance in New Orleans, and one ease, with a fatal termination, has been reported in Cincinnati. Tho Western cities aro urged to prepare for its ap? proach. Our ?oathetp towns will also do well to heed the warning, and see to it that their streets and alleys nod sewurs are thoroughly cleansed. A little cau? tion may save many lives.

It Will be remembered that the cry first was raised in 1868, the necessity for retrench? ment and reform being then attribnted to tho demoralizations brought on by Andy Johnson. At the last Presiden? tial campaign the same ory was renewed, on the ground that the previous fonr ?years had not been sufficient to complete the desired work. And what has been the result? In addition to the salary grab of nearly two millions during the last session, the forty-seoond Oongress increased the annual Federal salary roil to the extent of $1,252,557. This is certainly reform with si vengeanoe?snob reform as the* wolf gives to the lamb. Snob reform should be itself reformsd. Pboposjcd National Convention or Mexican Was Veterans. ? The effort to organize an association of Mexican war veterans in this oity has proved a de? cided success, and reflects credit on the energy of the committee having the matter in oharge. Last evening, the as? sociation -met at the Diokson Honae, President J. W. Denver in the obair. After the transaction of routine business, several new members wore enrolled. We published in our Sunday morning issue the names of about forty of the old vete? rans residing in this oity, with the regi? ments in which they served, and we are promised a more extended list after their next meeting, which takes place on Saturday, June 7. A resolution, whioh called forth favorable remarks from Hon. J. J. Martin; Colonel Allabaob, General Denver and others, was unanimously passed, and reads as follows: That an invitation is hereby extended by this assooiation to the veterans of the Mexican war tbronghout tho country, now organized or hereafter to be enrolled in associations, to send two or more delegates, in person or by proxy, to a national convention, to be held in Wash? ington oity, on January 15, 187i, to pre? pare a joint memorial to Oongress for a pension to the snrvivors of the Mexioan war, at the same rate allowed by the Aot of February 14, 1871, granting pensions to the soldiers and sailors of the war of 1B12; also, to adopt measnres looking to a national brotherhood of the snrvivors, and a general assemblage on the occa? sion of the oentennial anniversary of the nation's birth-day, at Philadelphia, July 4, 1876. The Corresponding Secretary, Mr. A. M. Keuady, was directed to communi? cate the substanoo of the resolution to the associations at Baltimore, Philadel? phia, New York, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, San Francisco, Virginia City and else? where, with a view to obtaining their co? operation in the main work for whioh the association is organized. ? -.1 Washington Chronicle, May J6.

Fatal Rencontre.?On Sunday lust, four soldiers of Company C, 18th Infan? try, viz; Wm.

Yet we see, in a late nnmber 61 the- Brooklyn (New York) Eagla, an article upon the death in Bus*}? of Hon. James W Orr, of South Caroline, in which it is said that "the sooial division to wbioh Mr. Orr belonged was the 'poor whites' of a State wherein that division oame to its -poorest," and where all "political opportunities seemed centered in the hands vi the most accomplished, hospitable and exclusive aristocracy which this world ever saw. ' The Eagle pays a warm tribute to the energy of the ruari who rose against such obstacles "to be the moat honored man his State has possessed sinoe the ashes of Calhouc were laid in her 'saored soil.'" While the Eagle has rendered a just tribute to Mr Orr's qualities of mind and character, we regret that an intelligent and independent paper shonll fall into the mistake that any considerable class of "poor whites," in the condition as? signed to that class by ignorant and prejudiced partisans, ever existed in the South, or that all "political opportuni? ties" were coconut rated in its "aristo? cracy." In no part of the United States was there before the war as little of that poverty whioh involves want as in the Southern States. The fertility of the; soil, almost spontaneously producing tho ! means of subsistence, the mild aud geuial climate in winter in many parti of the South being rarely more severe than the Northern autumns, and the sparse population, all contributed tu render ex treme poverty comparatively unknown. There are probably more poor people, that is people in need of charitable assist? ance, in the oity of New York thau there were before the war in all the Southern States put together. We may add, that to the class in the South known as "poor whites" J?mea L. Orr did not belong. His father was Chriztopher Orr, of Anderson District, South Carolina, aud had acquired through mercantile pursuits a compe? tency, and given a thorough education to his 'three sons and two daughters. His grand-father, John Orr, was a native of Wake County, North Carolina, and as a gallant Whig soldier, participated in the revolutionary war. The paternal ancestor of the Orrs emigrated from Ire? land, and settled originally in Pennsyl? vania, about the year 1730. Neither, on the other band, is it true that the aristocracy of South Carolina and otbor Southern States was as monopolizing and exolusive as it is represented in the above extracts. There was, in fact, no part of the country in whioh talent aud virtue, no matter how humble its origin, or from what locality of the Union, had speedier recognition than in the South? ern States. The illustrations of this truth are almost numberless. The great George McDadie, of South Carolina, was of humble parentage. The father of President Andrew Jaokson, a native of North Carolina, was a poor man, an 1 his mother belonged to a hard-working and scantily paid family of lioen weavers. The father of John O. Calhoun left bis family in moderate circumstances, and after his death his son resided with his widowed mother, laboring on the farm. Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee, was originally a tailor. These are only a few out of many instances of the prompt and practical recognition of labor in the South, without regard to origin. The same is true, whatever may have boen the locality from whioh talent came. John M. Berrien, the distinguished rep? resentative in former .days of Georgia in the United States Senate, was a native of New Jersey. Johnson, of Virginia, a native of New York, was eleoted Go? vernor of Virginia over George W. Summers, a native Virginian. The father of the late Dr. Josiah Clark Nott, principal author of the famous "Types of Mankind," by Nott nud Gliddou, was a native of Eastern Connecticut, but moved to Camden, South Carolina, whore ho practiced law with success, was oluoied to Congress, aud ended his days as a Judge of the State Court of Appeals. Tho most brilliant and popular orator iu tho Southern States, Sargent S. Prentisp, of Mississippi, was a nativo of Maine, and ouo of the most famous Southern editors, George 1). PrentisB, of Keu tucky, was a native of Connecticut. The list might bo indefinitely, extended. The "blue blood" of the South has nover been more potent than tho "yellow gold" of tho North in keeping to itself the keys that unlock the gates of success. It is a groat mistake to represent that in any section of this country,whioh was settled inn inly by tho poor and middle classes of Europe, uny colonist of higher rank, ovon iu tho South?than a younger sou being a social phenomenon?thcro over was any bar or hindrance to tho rise of ability und cnorgy to their proper level. I Baltimore Sun. People genorally have a great horror of death by drowning, and an impres? sion prevails that it is u painful mode of quitting the world. This is not so, if we tuny believe n Dr. Hoffman, ono of tho survivors of tho Dixon disaster. Ho de? scribes tbo souBation of drowning as an extremely pleasant one, and ovou goes so far as to say it was quite an iutorrup tiou to his agreeable feelings when ho felt the rescuing hand clutoh his shoul? der uud drag him from tho water. In other words, the doctor was grieved that Ins 'delightful experiences woro dispors? d by the cruel hand of humanity. This is very consoling, and pooplu who go down to tho sea iu ships should ceaso to enter? tain any terrors of drowning, einoo it is SO pleasant. Loafers iu Omaha are called "varie? gated vagrants."

He resembled a gorilla so mnoh that they conceived the idea of engaging him to personate a wild man in their en? tertainments. The seductive offer of 925 amonth and board was thrown oat as a bait for Fred, to nibble at, and he gulped it down witbo.t wasting time iu consideration, and became a member of the aompany. consisting of an obese wo? man, a man so thin as to be almost in? visible at a side view, a sword swallower, a learned pig with a propensity for abort cards, a monkey, a fangless snake and a hand organ. Arrayed in lights, Fred., with his repulsive features and misshapen body, struck terror to tbo hearts o4 the simple rustioa who patronized the show on its tour * through the Hooaier State. He was a great oard for the management. Every person who saw bim firmly be? lieved that bis grand-father, at least, was a fioo old African gorilla, who might have met Mungo Park iu bis solitary wanderings. After Indiana had been j thoroughly canvassed, the museum pro? prietors decided to visit Chicago and take Fred, with them. Thoy arrived here a fow days ago, aud ever siuoa the wild man bas been a source of wonder to tboso who have soen bim. Wild men resemble tame men in two respects, at least?they will eat and sleep. Tbo mu? seum people, however, appear to have overlooked those minor matters iu their dealings with H?llisch. Tbny have given bim no money aud have never even asked him if a crust of bread would do bim good. Naturally enough be com? plains to the Mayor that be caonot livo long undo, such unfavorable circum? stances. He cannot be a decent wild man on an empty stomach. Every time be comes on tbe stage he feela moro like goiDg to sleep than bellowing around and making a fool of himself for nothing a week. All he wants tho M tyor to do is, to get Borne money for him from the museum men. His Honor told him he would see what could be done. Serious? ly epeakiog, Hettisoh is a horrible look? ing person. He baa a small, round head, glittering black eyes, no perceptible ohin, protruding lips, turned-up nose, and a forehead that recedes at a most acute angle. In addition to theso pecu? liarities, be is- slightly bump-backed. [Chicago Tribune. The ''Code" an Inexcusable Anachro? nism.?There ia no apology for tbe duel in this age. There never can be moral excuse for the double purpose of murder and aoicide. From a moral point of view, there is nothing to be said in de? fence of dueling. It includes, beyond a question, the guilt of murder and tbe sorrow of suicide. "Thon shalt not kill," oanoot be tortured by tho neu test casuistry into a permission to kill an? other, because you allow him a chance to kill you.

Vulgarity summons its "noble art of self-defence" to tbo ring at the obullenge of championship.
