WHAT TO DO WITH THE INDIANS

The recent shocking massacre at Fort
Phil. Kearney calls public attention
afresh to the defects Of our Indian
policy. This policy is only perpetual
war. The worst class of politicians seek
Indian agencies for the opportunities
they afford for plumber; the Indians are
cheated and abused, and kept in perpet-
ual evaporation; they make treaties
only to break them, and the border set
Elements and great routes OF traVei
across the continent are rendered un-
safe by them. The first thing to. Dc
done in the way of remedy for these
abuses on both sides is to transfer the
control of Indian affairs to the war
Department. The army has nothing
else to do at present, and there is no
service it q render of more Importance
than to effect a permanent settlement Of
the Indian difficulties. General Grant
advocated this in his annual report, and
Generals Sherman and Pope, and in
deed all our commanders who have had
anything to do with the Indians, agree
that this is the true policy.
But two alternatives are possible with
reference to the Indians. They must
be exterminated, or they must locate
upon some assigned territory and re-
main there. 1t is impossible to tolerate
them longer as rowing tribes, always
repulsive and often hostile to the white
settlers. The great lines of communi-
cation with the Pacific States must DO
kept open and rendered safe, and this
cannot be done while the Indians 60 at
large. Absolute determination by
powder and balls is of course not
to be thought of, though surely less
barbarous than the present policy, as it
is administered. The other alternative
is to assign a fixed territory to the In
dams and compel them to remove to II
and occupy it. This will require a con-
siderable military force at first, and a
permanent one for some years, to guard
the territory and keep the Indians with
in its limits; but it is the cheapest and
best arrangement to be made. 1t the
Indians are not wholly incapable of civ
iization, as many believe, they will
there be accessible to the influences Of
education and Christianity, which have
at least done something towards elevat-
ing the Cherokees and Choctaws in the
present Indian territory; and if civili-
cation hastens the extinction of these
tribes, it cannot be helped. 1t is the
best we can do for them. They have
the opportunity to be naturalized and
become citizens Of the United States,
and our treatment of them should have
reference to this and promote it. 1t is
not likely that any considerable portion
of them will wei become citizens, or
that the Indian element is to be perma-
nent in our cosmopolitan population.
But this should not be our fault, but
the inevitable result Of the incapacity
of the Indian for civilization. If the
aboriginal American has fulfilled his
destiny, and must retire from the scene,
let him. He must not be allowed to OBJ
struct the peaceful development and
population of the country any longer.

A RAILROAD CAsz.-A gentleman
having purchased a 6rst-class ticket on
the Chicago and Cincinnati railroad, he
stepped upon the train, which consisted
of but two cars, the ladies' car and the
smoking r The brakeman refused
him admittance to the ladies' car,
which was locked up, as is usual on
many Of our railroads, and be was COM
PEELED to go into the smoking car. The
conductor coming around to collect the
tickets, the gentleman refused to give
his up until he was given a seat in the
ladies' car, claiming his right to q seat
in that car, as he held a "first-class"
ticket. The conductor thereupon called
the train hands, and he was elected
from the train. The gentleman went to
Cincinnati and laid his case before the
officers of the company, who promptly
discharged the conductor and compensa-
ted the gentleman for injury done him
BY loss of time; and they decided, as a
rule to be observed on their road, ''that
the holder Of q frst-clsss ticket has the
right 10 a seat in a frst-class car" We
refer to this subject in order to give our
readers information Of everything that
transpires upon the important subject
Of the rights of railroad travellers. Huge
corporations, as a general thing, are
too much wrapped up in money-making
to keep a sharp lookout upon their at
tendants, and whilst travellers should
not ask for more than is justly due
them, it is best, in the long run, if upon
American railroads, they are not too
modest, but politely insist upon the
rights that the courts aud railroad COM
pauies' rules decide they are entitled to.

WASHINGTON, June 2O.-The conclu.
sion of the President and Cabinet in re.
ference 10 the Interpretation Of the Mill

following:

emit, the President, Secretary Of State,
Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary Of
War, Secretary Of the Navy, the Post
master General, the Attorney General,
and the Acting Secretary Of the Interior.
The President announced that he bad
under consideration the opinion of the
Attorney Generalein regard 10 the legal
questions arising on acts Of Congress,
commonly known as the Reconstruction
acts, and in view Of the great magnitude
Of the subject and various interests in
involved, he deemed it proper to have it
considered fully in the Cabinet, and to
avail himself of all the light which could
be afforded BY the opinions and advice
Of members Of the Cabinet, to enable
him to see that the laws be faithfully ex-
eeuted, aud to decide what orders and
instructions are necessary and expedi-
enfto be given 70 military commanderf.
{ The President said further that the
branch Of the subject that seemed to him
to he the first in order for consideration
was as to the instructions to be sent to
the military commanders for their gbd.
ance and the guidance Of persons offer
ing for registration. The instructions
prepared BY the Attorney General as set
forth in the summary contained in his
last opinion, will therefore nov be con-
sidered.

Don Piatt says No man known to
us runs larger amount of machinery
to less boiler than Schuyler Coltax.
Nevertheless, the striking disproportiOn
between machinery and boiler exhibited
in the case Of Colfax is one which pre-
walls to an extensive degree in the
Jscobin party. The disproportion is not
always the same way. Wendell Phillips
and Sumner, for example, run prodi-
gious quantity of boiler to very little
machinery, while Dick Yates, Chandler
and others frequently get upa great deal
of steam without running any machinery
at all. Taken as whole, the Jacobin
party seems to be pretty much all boiler
and no machinery. ~ ~.t..r

of ex.Mayor Baugh, Of this city, closep
his life% He was only about thirsy'hve
years Of age, but had been resident q
this city for twenty-five years Afl-tne
old Memphians knew him asa man Of
the strictest integrity in all matters oil
business His moro intimate acqualnt-
ance knew him as a man who, though
highly impulsive in his nature, never
,urned his back. on a friend, or violated
an obligation ofiriendship. Chiyalrous in
disposition, and courageous In the
highest degree, he was ever the cham
pion Of the weakiand the defender Of the
innocent. No influence however for
midable, no danger however imminept,
could shake purpose he had once
formed, or deter him from the perform
ance Of "a duty. Hewas as gentle ns he
was brave, and as just as he was cour-
sgeous. OF the South, he was for the
South for the sake Of the South, without
caring whether she was, or was not,
theoretically right. He fought for her
for four years, and fortified his
convictions with his sword. 1t
was his fortune to survive that con.
test and return to peaceful fife. But
there was, in the quiet OF the country, q
foe more formidable than armed hosts,
and to it, he fell, in the maturity of his
years, in the fullness of his manhood,
and in the midst of the affections OF
friends who will drop many tear on his
grave, and keep his memory green in
their souls.
