THE NEW TREATIES WITH THE INDIANS

The NEW TREATIES WITH THE INDIANS
The mission of Colonel f. W. Wynkoop to
the tribes of Cheyenne and Arapahoe In
dians, who have committed many depreda-
thomson the great highways across the plains
during the last three or four years, was sig
nally successful. His thorough knowledge
of the Indian character and personal ac-
quaintance with many of the Indian chiefs,
greatly assisted his negotiations and enabled
him to make what they term "a strong
peace, because it was contracted with the
warriors who had been most actively engag-
ed in the recent hostilities, and based upon
thorough understanding of the mutual
wants and interests of both races. What is
most needed now is some substantial pro
vision for the wants of these wild tribes, so
that they will never be induced, By fear of
starvation, to attack our trains. The pro
gress of civilization is rapidly DESTROYING
the game upon which they fornly relied for
subsistence, and justice and sound policy
require that we should compensate them
for loss thus incidentally inflicted As a mere
financial question, it is very evident that we
can much better afford to feed the Indians
than to fight them.

GEOLOGICAL PHENOMENON. "A geologi-
cal phenomenon is noticed in the Isle of
Wight, consisting of layer of pebbles
each about the size and color Of a horse
bean, which has been gradually moving
eastward along the southwestern shore of
the Island. The layer has now reached
Tentnor. A few years since no such peb-
bles were found on that coast. They prob
ably originated on the coast of Dorset
They are, like ali gravel, broken and water
worn Aints. The layer has probably been
under the sea, and driven by some unusual
disturbance from the Dorset shores, past
the Hampshire coast, on to the Isle of
Wight beach.

The Memphis riot is no more an argument
against the Southern States than the New
York riot was against the Northern States
-Ne,0 York Past
There is this difference, however: the
Memphis riot was the natural fruit of the
superior civilization" of the South, while
the New York riot was in all respects an
exotic. Slavery inspired it, and Irish cop
perheads were the prime movers in it. The
Memphis riot was as indigenous to the
South as cotton and tobacco. : Washing gtoa

MAIL ARRANGEMENTS. The Post Office
Department has issued orders to discontinue
the delivery of the mails at an early day at
all offices in South Carolina, and perhaps
in other States where there are no regularly
appointed and commissioned postmasters.
This order, the Governor of South Carroll
ma says, will subject the press and the bust
ness community to very serious embarrass
ment unless steps are taken to secure the
as can take the requisite oath as prescribed
by Congress, and he therefore recommends
that some person be selected at each office
who can take the oath and give the bonds

General Howard, the official head of the
Freedman Bureau, denies the sweeping ac-
cusations based on the inspection made
by Generals Steedman and Fullerton The
damaging representations, involving agents
in corrupt practices, he says, are the result
of superficial aud one sided inquiries He
denies that there has been any "prostitu-
ton of official position for private gain"
and that ''any shadow of an accusation of
completely in crime on the part of the
North Carolina agents, is utterly without
foundation.

An election will be held in Texas on the
25th day of June next for State officers,
and at the same time the amended Consti-
tuition agreed on by the Convention will be
su admitted to the people for acceptance or
rejection. 1t does not appear that there
is any serious opposition to the proposed
amendments. The two parties of the State
divide on personal issues of the war Those
opposed to secession are now the ''Union
party. and those who were in favor of Sc
cession are the Conservative Union party.

Parson Brownlow declared in recent
speech, in reference to the new Tennessee
law disfranchising rebels, that an officer in
an Arkansas rebel regiment declared that
1t was within his personal knowledge that
if the Confederate achieved their indepen-

every Union man in the South % No one
who remembers the proscriptive tendencies
Of the secession leaders will doubt the truth
of this statement.
