by the Western scalp-hunters. between the
Indian tribes proper, and the bands of thieves
and murderers attached to them. While il was
right to hold the tribes responsible, in a GER
tain sense, for the misdeeds of anv of their
members, 1t was grossly impolitio to wreak
the same vengeance for a murder or robbery
upon the whole or any portion of a tribe as
should have been meted out to the offending
parties alone. But Western men and officers,
who abhor all savages alike, do not trouble
themselves with such find distinctions; and
the clannish sympathies of the red men
naturally impel them to resent, en- mdSSe, at
tacks, provoked or unprovoked upon any of
their fellows.
This kind of policy must be abandoned
and more deliberate and careful policy sub
stituted, even if the newly appointed Com
missoners succeed in their attempt There
ought to be guarantees, first, on the part of
the chiefs, that those members of the treaty
making tribes who commit outrages shall be
made known or delivered up, if that is posi-
bic, to the Government authorities; and
second, by the Government, that it will not
permit any armed forces to enter the territory
set apart for the tribes for any other purpose
than to seize malefactors that the tribes may
otherwise refuse to surrender. In the mean
time, the warfare that will have to be con-
Quoted for while against the outlying saw
ages with whom no terms are possible, can be
successful in no other hands than those of we'll
organized frontiersmen, led by responsible and
experienced commanders. The services of
mounted volunteers, which the Secretary of
War is authorized by this act to accept from
the Western Territories in case the present
Commission fails, will be just as necessary as
temporary police foroe if the Commission
succeeds.
Finally, if peace with the Indians is brought
about in any way, it is to be hoped that
without interfering with the rights of territory
granted the red men, or oficiously intermed-
ding in their affairs-the officers and en-
ploy6s of the Government, whom it is stipu-
lated shall have access to them, may be in
structed to make every effort to excite and
crafty curiosity in their minds to learn
something of civilized life. In subduing their
savagery, in weaving them from their Ish-
maelitish proclivities, in coaxing them to agri-
cultural and other industries, and in establish
ing neighborly, instead of distrustful and
jealous, feeling between them and our people,
will lie our only security against perpetual
trouble with them. For the territory to which
it is now sought to remove them, out of the
way as it is from the highways that are thus
far contemplated, will not be out of the way
of highways and cross routes that will yet be
necessary for the march of an emigration
destined to claim every rood of the far West
ern soil.

BIoodshed I'm Tennessss.

From the Tribune.
When Republican meeting at Franklin
the capital of the county whose whites we're
unanimously Rebels-was broken up by a
murderous fusilade, the World told its readers
that this was a radical riot. On the same
principle, it should now denounce the bloody
affray at Rogersville as of conservative origin.
We do not so insult the understanding of our
patrons. Political passions in Tennessee have
been lashed into frenzy; but we do not believe
either party is mad enough to fire volleys into
its own meetings nor attempt to pistol its
candidates or champions. Even if we were
knavish enough to make such absurd asser-
tions, we should be restrained by our know
ledge that the public has too much sagaoity to
be deluded by them.
The Franklin butchery was of conservative
impulse and origin that at Rogersville must
be placed to the discredit of the radicals.
They had no business at the meeting except as
quiet listeners. If they did not choose to hear
EtheTidge--and we know that his harangues
are more vitriolic than those of any other live
man, Brownlow possibly excepted-they had
only TO keep out of ear-shot. No matter how
bitter, how unjust were Etheridge's words,
that was not the time nor the place for contra
diction. AS presiding officer in a legislative
body would say, 'The gentleman from West
Tennessee has the foor;5' and no one else had
right to it unless invited by the party in pos
session.
We earnestly say to the sedate, considerate
Tennesseeans of both parties, You must unite
to put stop to these disgraceful, murderous
collisions. You must not ask nor consider to
which party their authors belong but subject
them impartially TO the sternest legal disci-
pline. Unless you do this promptly, YOU will

The Indians.

Section 2 of the act authorizing commits
sion to call together and arrange treaties with
the chiefs of hostile Indian tribes, contains an
excellent initiatory provision-if it can be sue
cessfully carried out. This provision Isl
"1hat said commissioners are required to
examine ana select districts of country having
sufficient area to receive all Indian tribes now
occupying The territory east of the Rocky
Mountains, not now peacefully residing on per-
manent reservations under treaty stipulations
to which Government has the right OF Occupa-
tion, or to which said commissioners can OBJ
tam right OF occupations; and in which district
or districts there shall be sufficient tilabe or
grazing land to enable said tribes, respec-
lively, to support themselves by agricultural
and pastoral pursuits; said distTicts when so
selected, and selection approved by Congress,
shall be and remain permanent homes for said
not membe OF said tribes shall ever be per
mltted TO enter thereon without the permission
OF the tribes interested, except the officers and
employes OF the United States, provided tnat
district or districts shall be so located as not to
interfere with the travel on the highways 10.
caleu by authority OF the United States, nor
with the route OF the Northern Pacific Railroad,
the Union Pacific Railroad eastern division,
racine railroad by way of Albuquerque"
That the efforts of the Commissioners to
bring about the above arrangement may be
successful, every humane and reasonable per
son Will devoutly pray. But the attempt has
been SO long postponed, that the tribes who
have waged more than three months of un-
obstructed petty warfare against the Western
routes and settlements, and have generally
got the best of the small military forces they
have encountered, are likely to assume very
saucy attitude in council with the emissaries
OF that 'Great Father by whom they have
been often swindled, and whose power to con-
troll and punish them must have seriously
dwindled in their belief. The Commissioners
have a very difficult task. They may be able
through patient and frank dealing, to bring
the chiefs and the tribes, generally, to the
terms announced. But trouble will neverthe-
less be made by bands of the same tribes,
whom the chiefs, even if they should be
honestly disposed, could not prevent from
stealing out of the new territory and commit
ting outrages among the whites. Some of the
chiefs themselves would doubtless break their
vows, and join in these rowing depredations.
Thus would occur the same dificulty and
the same danger that has frequently occurred
before. The truth is, that proper distinction
has never been made by the Government au-
thorities, by the military, and certainly not

Opposition to the Congressional Polio.
From TIE Times.

From The Times.
Southern politicians who oppose the condi-
tions of reconstruction offered by Congress
exhibit less than their usual sagacity Ambi-
tious they have always been, dexterous, and
averse to the preponderance of Northern
power. Never, however. except as participa-
tors in the Rebellion, have they blundered
more egregiously than in their present hos
tility to the law.
1t is the fashion with this element of South
ern political life to attribute to the great body
of the people stolid Indifference to the pro-
gress Of the work which Congress has inaugu-
rated. According to the correspondents whose
sympathies are with the old Rebel party, the
South cares nothing for the law, and will not
move a step to comply with its provisions.
The announcement is accompanied with assu-
RANGES that an ardent desire for the fellowship
of the Union prevails, though how this feeling
harmonizes with the reported indifference to
the profered means of regaining the privileges
of the Union, the writers in question stop not
to explain, If the repentant multitude are
anxious for restoration, their aversion to the
prescribed method of securing restoration is
intelligible only on the suppostion that they
have been led to hope for an easier method,
and one less obnoxious to their prejudices.
Anv expectation of this kind is traceable to
the sophistry, the misrepresentation, and the
passionate appeals of those who claim to be
considered organs and leaders of Southern
The motives of these leaders lie upon the
surface. All their opposition resolves itself
into resistance to policy which insures their
subection to the loyal power of the State.
Their rhetoric derives its force from trans
parent selfshness. They are not willing to
see the power they have so long welded pass
from their grasp, and they adroitly try to
make the white electors feel the modification
which properly belongs exclusively to them
selves. That they have succeeded to some
extent is evidenced by the complexion OF the
registration lists; but the proof OF their
ability 10 control majority even OF the whites
Is vet to come. Probabilities, and even the
greater number of witnesses, point to the fail
iIre of these efforts. For though large pro
norton of the whites refuse to vote, or vote
aeainst the plan prescribed by law, there is no
Teason to fear that in any State 1t will be
defeated. Black votes may be required TO
save Il. but loyal whites and loyal blacks,
combined. promise to be. strong enough every
where TO give effect TO the law.
This fact is is which exhibits most conclu-
