Our Indian Tribes-Ref0rm In tho Indian
Bureau.

Our Indian Tribes-Reform In tho Indian
Bareau.
The proposition now before Congress to
transfer the management Of the Indian tribes
from the bureau under the Interior Depart
ment to the War Department, is one which
we think is not only calculated to facili-
tate the operations of the bureau, but will
relieve the country in a great measure from
the 0dium attached to measures hitherto
adopted in our dealings with the ab0-
riginal races. There is no doubt that a
great deal Of corruption, unnecessary vio-
lcnce and inhumanity has been associated
with the conduct of Indian affairs. Much Of
the troubles on our frontier have originated
with agents and others having personal in
terest in perpetuating distrust, quarrels and
massacres among the tribes. By taking this
business out Of the hands Of civil agents and
placing the control Of the Indian tribes in
those of military officers we will remove the
opportunity for corruption, which has involved
the government in vast expense and retar led
civilization in the Territories. The officers of
the army, acting by the orders and discipline
of the War Department, are held under strict
military jurisdiction, and they are not so liable
to engage in corrupt practices as civilians,
who are responsible to q civil department of
the government. Again, the officers OF our
army, from their education and habits, are not
SO prone to corruption and avarice as the poll
ticians who usually fll the Offices Of Indian
agents, according to the present arrangement.
When any host:lities occur on the sfrontier
the military power has to be called in to
suppress them, aud the authority Of the War
Department is Immediately required. Why
not, then, invest the whole management OF
Indian affairs In this department! AT the
present moment large bodies OF troops are
being sent to the Territories to con-
front the hostile Indians. General Grant
and General Sherman, in their reports on
Affairs in the West, have recognized the wisdom
of this distribution OF authority to the War
Department, which is perhaps an additional
reason why the recommendation of the Military
Committee should be adopted by Congress.
Our Indian affairs have been miserably man
aged, and some reform is absolutely needed.

health will not permit him to retrieve them.
He is too sagacious to suppose that be can nm
part permanency to the system of governments
which he has initiated. 1t would require
ruler of equal ability and daring to maintainit
after his death against the assaults to which IL
will be exposed, not merely by domestic con-
spiracies, but by foreign combinations Whas
chance would feeble woman and an inex-
perienced boy have of contending against such
dangers? None. And no one, we believe, ap'
preciates the fact more keenly than the Em-
peror. Therefore it is that while there is yes
time he is beginning to experiment in the way
of political concessions. He, no doubt, thinks
that by reverting again to constitutional forms
there may be . chance Of perpetuating .
dynasty which has hitherto only looked to in
dividual energy and success for its hold on the
popular affections. He must not be expected.
however, to move too fast in this direction. II
requires infinitely more judgment and boldness
to relax the restraints Of q despotic system like
his than to build it up anew from its founda-
tions.

us of the result of that notification. France,
Russia and Prussia have responded, and they
are prepared to act in harmony with the gov
ernment Of the Sultan in effecting some ar
rangement. England, it is evident, had not
yet replied. Her reply, however, may be
hourly expected. Italy, in all likelihood, was
not consulted. Whether Austria has been
wilfully ignored we have yet to learn. The
Eastern question thus enters upon an entirely
new phase Of It's existence. 1t Is now fairly
European in its dimensions. The little cloud

AMENITIES OF Our LEGISLATIVE B0DHs.-Th0
door Of the House of Representatives was the
scene Of another violation Of decorum on Sat-
urday, when language wholly unjustifable was
indulged in by Mr.. Ashley, of Ohio, and Mr..
Hunter, of New York. The former gentleman,
in charging members Of the House with being
rebels and conspirators because their political
views differed from his own, transgressed all
parliamentary law, but Mr.. Hunter, in using
the term "a base lie," was not less reprehensi-
BILE. We are glad to see that Mr.. Speaker
Colfax for once put . stop to this disorderly
conduct. He was not in the chair when the con-
troversy commenced, but he Immediately has
tened to his place and called the unruly gen.
tlemen to order. While such bad examples are
furnished by the highest legislative body in the
land we cannot be surprised to find scenes OF
violence occurring in the State legislatures,
such as the recent collision between two mem
bers of the Virginia Assembly, one of whom
was knocked down on the floor of the chamber.
Parliamentary manners, like the fashions, are
supposed to radiate from the centre Of civiliza-
ton and are copied in lesser places. 1t thus
behooves Congress to set better example OF
legislative amenities to the States.

APPROACHING ELECTIONS In THE DISTRICT OF
COLUMBIA MOVEMENT OF THE BLACKs.-In adj
vance of the coming Mayoralty election in
Georgetown the blacks Of that city held Q
meeting and adopted platform embracing
perfect equality between whites and blacks,
which they succeeded in getting candidate to
accept. This action may be regarded as the
first practical development of the impartial
suffrage system, and win probably be followed
up at the election in Washington. The gist Of
the principles Comprised in the Georgetown
platform are contained in the following
questions - ss
will you II elected so execute the laws and .ordi-
OF the city to admit Of no distinction on &c
Of color required BY the act Of Congress knowA
as the Civil Rights bilis Ra
Will you, when laborers and mechanics are TO b
employed by the corporation, distribute the labor
to give employment TO whites and blacks alike
This may be considered as opening the ball
on the part of the blacks, and Is significant ~
indicating the probable shape which impartial
suffrage would take elsewhere, as well a. in
the District Of Columbia.

FOi, THE HERALD.

MEssERs EDsroEs: i am truly glad that
we do not differ in opinion on the constitu-
tional amendment proposed by Congress.
Inc q there can &c no difference on this
question among those who really love their
country aud have the well-being of the
South at heart. You say truly that. in
the sacrifice OF priscip1e, 1.-THE advantage
gained would be no compensation for the
loss sustained"
You also remind us Of another fact
shat should be an emphatic warming to us
on this very point When the Southern
States acquiesced in that enormous outrage
upon the Constitution, and all right, the
abolition of slavery by a simple proclama--
ton of the President, with the after-farce
Of a constitutional amendment, they took a
fatal step into the wrong If they did it
with the hope Of being restored to Un-
ion under which such things could be
done, the event should teach us not so to
humiliate ourselves again, with the moral
certainty of like result. Fanatcsm is
as remorseless as the grave; and meek sub
mission never yet disarmed oppression
We owe it to.the cause of right, at least
to protest against wrong, when we have
no longer the power to resist, nor should
we ever despair Of its final triumph. Ev-
en- now a ray Of hope comes through the
thick gloom, in the fact that here and
there a Democratic journal in the North
is hosting the Kentucky resolutions o!
'9S. Even in that section of our country
from whence this storm Of fanaticism comes
there are thousands Of far-sghted men
who we'll know that the OILY hope of free
government, in this land of ours, hangs
upon the entire sovereignty Of the States.

went with it; and there it must be regain

truth-that thousands of our countrymen
for the sake of pcace---for the sake Of ease

boon so precious.

The GREY" Child Killer Found Gull
>ty OF Manslaughter.

The trial of the ''Rev." Joel Lindsey,
for whipping his ehild-a three years old
boy-to death. because he would not say
his prayers, has just been concluded at Al
bion, New York, and verdict of man
slaughter rendered by the jury. Mr., H.
j. Newton, of Rochester, one of the prose
cutting attorneys on the occasion, thus sum
med up the facts of the case
look at the fact The body is found.
Or Cham berlain, a man Of high standing,
took the body from the coffin, looked at the
wounds, examined the head and the heart,
and the limbs. He found what the com
sci calls a scratch On the jaw How came
these wounds there? No; with q single
an inch wide-a pretty instrument to bit
child Or its head, IT'S checks, and under
its jaws VIII he prove that it is proper
to use single 20 beat a child about the
head, beginning at 8 o'clock at light, for
two hours and a half, and going from the
head to the solcs Of the feet We are told
this man lacks Judgment, He had judg-
ment enough to slip ovcr the JOINTS. He
could not see, we are told, yet, he could
break the hands and nails of child with a
single. The single, their witness says,
was an inch wide, as she knew by the
creases in the flesh, though she did not see
the weapon wales an inch wide were in
the flesh Of this little boy. Even Mrs
Lindsley saysthe finger nails we're torn up.
This father went whipping down the arms
from the shoulders to tie fingers ends,
and when his little child stretched out it's
hands to its father in supplication for mer-
cy, he dashed it with ali the strength be
had. He whipped its legs all She way to
its toes, and 30 crown 1t all he beat the
soles Of his feet to blisters till the blood and
matter oozed out even through his stock
ings as he lay in his coffin 1t was not to
be believed that lamp was used to do this;
it is bad enough without that After two
and half hours this iron-faced father OBJ
served change in the child-this feeble
child, as the father knew--it rolled up its
eyes, stifened its limbs, and the struggle
of the soul to escape from the body was at
an end, and it took its fight to another
world. Then this father stopped whipping !!
What merciful man that he did not whip
the child after it was dead The Indians
don't tortare their children whatever they
may do to others. We are told that the
papers have published exaggerated state
ments. have seen nothing that exag-
gerated this. | Judge Of this case only by
what has come out here on the exhnina-
ton
The press has done right in this case.
They spoke for humanity and for law. They
have done their duty. Now you should Go
yours. Do not shrink at such time. AS
you think of that child's mother in heaven
and Of that little soul that now looks down
upon you from above, let tie community
know that you have the sternness and IN
tegrity to maintain the laws Ifthis man is
guilty-as believe he is--it is your duty
to the. laws which are your own, to your
God and your country, to say So
