A DAKINU KffBRERT t OMMITTF.Ik A FEW MILES FROM THE CITY. Partle Arrmlfd on Hnplrln. Charlotte Chronicle. A very daring robbery was com mitted Wednesday night at Rev. G R. "White's residence, in Sharon township, about 5 miles from Char lotte. TVia rmnr lti.liftft anC centlemen of the neighborhood had beeu invi - ted to a musical entertainment at Mr. "White's house, and it was while thy were enjoying the pleasant par ty aud listening to the sweet straius of music aud the charmiug voices of the siugerB, that the robbers enter ed, with stealthy tread, a room in the very ceutre of the house, aud carried off a large trunk, filled with Mr. aud Mrs. White's clothing, jew elry and other valuables. There wie a great many persons at the entertainment, and, ou account of the gay laughter and 6ouud of the music, the thievts entered the house, secured their booty, and fled without attracting attention. The entertainment ended about eleven o'clock, and it was not until most of the guests had departed, that Mrs. White missed the trunk. She was looking for some of her guests' gosjamers audi wraps, which she had put in her room on the ar rival of the guests, and when she went in there, at the end of the en tertainment, she could not tin! auy of them. They were much puzzled, at first, at the disappearance of the things, 'but when she remembered that she had put them on her trunk, and, looking fir that, discovered that it, too, was gone, she was utter ly astounded. It very soon became apparent to every one that the house had been robbed, although it was brilliantly lighted and full of peo ple at the time. As soon as the truth flashed across Mr. White' mind, he gave the alarm. And search was made in every direction. firtiie stolen goods, as welllas tile-perpetrators of the deed. Mr.-.W. A. Griffith had just got ten out of the house when the dis covery was made,. and Mr. White called! to- hinn and thev mad'jc a I lses After alhiost giving up in des pair, the diligent searcher discover ed the trunk, about 75 yards from the house; but it had been literally turned upside down, and everything of any value stolen. All of the wearing apparel, the table linen, .and jewe'ly were gone. Among other articles that were stolen are a watch chain, a gold ring, and g01d badge.

AYe know much of the highly polished Greek and the daring Roman. AYe know something of the brave Highlander among his belovd mountains,, and some thing of the long-oppressed children of the Emerald Isle but what of the poor Indian, the wilt?,, um-iviliwdi lied Man of th forest I An- impenetrable vagueness envelops his origin. AYe have reason to believe that, before the arrival of Col umbus, these wild sons of beautiful "Ne World" knew of no such being as" the civi lized white man. They knew nothing of the "Sweet Songs of David,." noiVof the ''Sermon on the1 Mount." Their music and their songs were in the winds and the rushing cascade: Around the peaceful camp- fire they reveled in that blissful ignorance, which so often pre cedes an impending doom. How little-they dreamed of resigning their" happy liunt-ing-groimdis to their "pale-face foes!" The-white nuttV came, saw and conquered; the In dians were driven to the far, distant AYest, where thev are now held as the "wards of tho nation." A? to the superior right of the civilized American to the savage barbarian, no one doubts; but should the conquer or wantanly oppress the con- qjieredf- Should1 treaties;- though made with: these wards, be broken Our (roverninnt gives to the Indian1 an amount of land to be called his own.. In a few veal's, settlor's will encroach on him; rail-roads will clamor for right of way through his domains thus he will. find his home(f) invaded;-, and himself a miserable out cast ! There is no authority exercised over the Indian, except for crimes perpetrated against the whites. How long shall we say to him : "The world is not thy friend nor the world's law f Could we give them the protection of law, there would be no need for the "Reservation System." Endow them with the duties, blessings and responsibilities of American citizenship. Let our government send agents whose endeavors are clothed in wisdom, patience and honesty. Bring the re--motest Indian hut into sight of an established church, and the result will le a" gradual severing of the tribal bonds.- AA"hat education and religion cannot doi. is not worth being done. That these people can be civilized has lieen shown by General ('rook's wonderful re formation of the Apaches by the success of such schools as Hamilton, Carlisle and Forest Grove.
