make some allowance for the language en-
ployed by Governor Hunt and his associate
officers, in their despatch to President Johnson
when they call for terrible measures of re-
taliation. But ought the provocations, the
Indians have received to be lost sight Off
Has mismanagement, has bad faith on
the part of agents, has persistence in a
policy calculated to ALLEVIATE the Indian
rather than attach him to us, nothing to do
with these frequently recurring wars so costly
to the country, and so miserably barren in
their results Why, only in the year 1865 it
cost the Governments large portion of which
money went into the pockets of Government
thieves-$25, ,O00, 600 to carry on an Indian
war; and now in 1867 we have another similar
war on our hands, which will involve further
large expenditure of money. tits easy to talk
of exterminating the Indian, but the task of
getting rid of him in that way would not be
found so practicable as some SUPPOSE and it is
by no means an economical mode of dispOsing
of him, as we have seen. The present hos
tilities show that the race have some vigor in
them still. Let another plan be tried, more
oonsonant with the principles Of humanity,
and more becoming great nation. Let policy
of wise Cancellation be adopted, and well-or-
ganized and properly sustained efforts be made
to bring the Indian within the reach of civili-
zing influences. Until we have done our best
to convert him into useful citizen, we ought
not to reproach him with being an incorrigible
sayape

hold the conference. The whole world is
represented there more fully than ever before
The Great Exhibition, with the congregation of
sovereigns and statesmen there, and the libe-
ralizng tendency of all that make the present
time most propitious to establish uniform
monetary system for all nations. If the En-
peror Napoleon should be the instrument of
accomplishing this, he will add greatly to his
renown. History would give him greater
honor for this than for anything he could do
in the way of military achievements. France
has already accomplished great deal in sim
plilying, both upon scientific and common
sense principles, the system of weights and
measures. The metricaI system which she
has established is undoubtedly the best, and
should be universally adopted
Let her Government now take the initiative
in Europe for the adoption of our simple and
beautiful decimal system of money. Now is
the time to sweep away the old incongruous
and diversified denominations Of money. In
place of the pound sterling with its subdivi-
sions of shillings and pence, of the franc, Of
the guildeT, of the doubloon, and of all the
numerous denominations and values of money,
let the simple decimal system be universally
adopted by international agreement. It
would be of immense advantage to the general
commerce of the world. In the course of a
few years the people Of every nation would
realize the benefit so sensibly that they would
wonder how it was such a necessary improve
ment was not made before. We hope, there
fore, the proposed international conference
will be held, and that uniform monetary
system may be adopted for the whole civilized
world.

The Authority of the AttOrney-General
over Laws OF COngresss

over Laws Of Congress-.
from the Times.
Mr.. Stevens objects to regarding the opinion
of the Attorney General on the Reconstruction
act as of binding force or obligation. In this
he is quite right. The pretense that the
Attorney General has any authority to give an
official construction to laws of Congress, which
shall control the action Of other departments
of the Government, is ridiculous; and it is
true that there is strong disposition in sundry
quarters thus to regard Mr.. Stanbery's opinion
on registration, already published, and the
one on the powers of military commanders. 1t
seems to be taken for granted that his con-
structiOn Of the law must be final and con-
elusive. Nothing could be more absurd.
The President may seek the opinion of the
Attorney General as lawyer, upon any law
point concerning which he is himself in doubt,
AZ d he may deem it prudent to make that
o. MON the basis and guide of his own action.
81 he cannot eVade the responsibility OF his
q :on by any such resort. If the Attorney
G, neral convinces his Judgment, and satisfies
l. IN that certain course is the proper one to
b. pursued, very well; but he cannot shelter
himself behind the Attorney-General from
Official judgment or from public censure.

A Uniform Monetary System for all Com.

n UNIFORM monetary SYbLeul LOE hll OOma
merciOl Nations.
From The Herald.
1t is said that the French Government has
invited the European powers to an interna-
tional conference on monetary matters, which it
isprobable will be held in Paris or Brussels this
month, and that England, Switzerland, Italy,
Belgium, Portugal, and Spain are reported to
have promised cooperation. We do not know
what the specific purpose or plan of the French
Government is, whether it is to make a uni
form monetary system for the commercial
nations of the world, or for any less oompre-
hensive object; but it is a good movement,
and in the end may lead to that uniformity
which is so desirable. There are difficulties in
the way, undoubtedly, and particularly with
England, where there is strong prejudice in
favor OF the old pound sterling system, and
where they make good deal out of foreign
nations IN the way of exchange based upon
that system. Still there is reason to hope
that England may yield to the enlightened
progress and necessity of the age, as she is
reported 10 pe party to the proposed inter-
national conference. The United States
Government is not mentioned as one of the
parties, but we can hardly suppose it was not
invited, or would neglect being represented.
In faet, our position as one of the first COM
mercial nations, and as destined to be within
short time the very first, entities and calls
upon us to take a prominent part in such a
conference.
The present is a most favorable time for the
purpose, and Paris just now is the place to

General sherman and the Indians.


General Sherman is likely to have his hands
full for some time to come. According to
Governor Hunt, of Colorado, the war has at
tanned to formidable proportions, for in a
despatch to General Sherman he states that it
now exists over a country of two thousand by
one thousand miles in extent. In a telegram
recently sent by the Government officers Of
Colorado Territory to President Johnson, ask
ing tor the adoption of prompt and vigorous
measures against the Indians, sad picture is
drawn of the state of the Territory, owing to
the active hostility of the red men, who are
making depredations and killing the white
settlers ON every side Ranches are burned:
coaches and emigrant teams are attacked; stock
run of; and numerous murders committed,
Our special correspondent says dispatches
swarm in daily from Montana, Dakota, and
Colorado, announcing new depredations and
murderOus outrages. 1t is easy to conceive
the effect Of all this upon the people of the
more remote and unprotected settlements. We
are not at all surprised to learn that 'the arts
OF peace are suspended, and the people suf-
fering from feeling ofinsecurity, which para
lyzes every branch of industry"
In such state of things vigorous measures
are imperatively called for, and these will GER
Idlnly De adopted py General sherman, pro-

that the people must, for the present, fight the

they certainly have no choice left them but to
shoulder the rifle and meet the enemy. Still,
Is hard and cruel case that this dire neces-
slty should be forced upon them and no time
o9ght 70 be lost in sending on reinfOrcements
OF troops TO enable General Sherman to make
smart, sharp, and decisive work of the cam
palgn which has been commenced. With a
man like Sherman in command. it is not being
too sangulne to expect that such will be the

But while a vigorous prosecution of the
war is necessary in order that hostilities
might be brought to as speedy termination
as possible and the Territories thereby deliv-
cred from a blighting calamity, that spirit is
to be denounced which urges that the Indians
should be treated as devils, whom we are mer-
cilessly to sweep from off the face Of the earth,
in retaliation for their merciless deeds. Now
that the war is upon us, it must be fought out
as such a war ought to be prosecuted; and in

been committing in the Territories, we can

A New Medical Dispensation.

The dark ages of medication now draw to a
close. Two great specifics are superseding all the
stereotyped and hackneyed nostrums of the age.
Dr. MaggiePs Pills and Salve, by their extraor-
binary cures have opened the eyes of the public
to the neficiency of the (so-called) remedies up
on which they have so long blindy depended
Maggeps Pills are not of the class that are swal-
lowed by the dozen or the score and of which
every box taken begets an absolute necessity for
another! One, at most, two or three of Maggi-
els Pills, sutices to place the bowels in good con,
dition, tone the stomach, create an appetite, and
render the spirits light and buoyant
There is no gripping and no reaction in the form
of constipation. If the liver IS affected its func
tons are restored and regulated. If the nervous
system is feeble it is invigorated., UlcerOus and
eruptive diseases are literally extinguished by the
dsinfectant power of Maggiels Salve. Invalids
who are wise enough to try these pure and pow
erful vegetable preparations will infallibly rec
ommend them discarding as comparatively val
ueless every other Pill and Salve in existence
In fact it will be found that MAGGIEL's BILIOUS,
DYsPEPTIC and DIARRHGA PILLS cure where
all others fail. While for Burns, Scalds, Chill
blains, Cuts and all abrasions of the skin, Mag
giers Salve is infallible.

Willard Kerr, son of William Kerr, deceased,
of this county, was shot at Roanoke College, Sa-
lem, last Sunday night, one week, under the fol-
lowing circumstances: He was rooming with a
young man named Saul who had just entered
College and had been leased very much by the
older students who had threatened to enter his
room at night and play some prank him.
Young Kerr, knowing nothing of this went to
his room late, and finding the door locked, en-.
deavored to arouse his room mate. Failing in
this, he determined to get in through the ventil-
ator above the door and while in the act of get
ting through it, was fired upon by Saul, the ball
entering his breast, inficting painful and dan
gerous, though. it is believed, not a fatal wound
