General ShermHR's order Ia an important one
in regard TO the future OF the Indians, so far
as they and the pioneers Of the West are con-
cerncd. II Is to keep these red men Of the
wilds away from the lines Of travel and emf
remote from the white settlements and the
thoroughfares along which ilow the emisrants
who are to people our Western prairies and
valleys.
General Harvey is TO have chief command Of
these reservations, and the country may rest
assured that, under his direction, all things
will be as they ought. The Indians know
General Harvey, and all the tribes between
the Missouri and the Rocky Mountains have
love as well Rs wholesome fear Of this
brave soldier. He is therefore the right man
in the right place.
It Is understood that all Of the Indians south
Of the Platte are to be gathered into one dis
tlnot district, and are to be located between
the Arkansas, Kansas, and Texas. General
W Is, HaZcn is to be placed In immediate
command He is said to be man Of much eX-
perience, and understands most Thoroughly how
to deal with Indians. It IL said that General
Sherman's order Is based upOa this recOmmen.
datlons of General Htzsn, which he, after
much study Of the Indian habit and character,
has embodied In an able paper upon the
subject.
1t Is most satisfactory to know that when
General Shermdn's order is carried out, as we
doubt not 1t will be, we shall get rid Of many
Of the complications ami cmblrrassments
which now, as heretofore, seem to spring out
Of the management OF our Indian affairs.

THE New York Commercial says that the
World objects to a black man being = member

ONE ELEMENT in Presidential election
which neither the Democrats nor the Repub-
Leans have thus far estimated at its value, is
the fact that in general in these contests the
Democratic strength can be counted but once.
In ordinary years Connecticut can draw in
the spring on New York and Philadelphia for
a sufficient number of voters to carry the
State. and in return Pcnnsylvania gets In
October similar courtesy from New York.
Oregon gets efficient help sin the counties
next to Idaho" and In various other localities
there is observed about election time an unu.
sually large floating population. But that
can't work in the Presidential election.

The WHOLE SOUTHERN COUNTRY is teeming
and Overlooking with warlike uttcranCes. The
W0Hd calls these things rant We call them
treason. The World apologies for this insane
raying, and affects to laugh at 1t, and proceeds
to inquire whether we shall submit to four
years more Of Republican rule, rather than
join hands with these people, traitors though
they be-the World calls them ranterS-and
thus change the order of things.
We recolect the rantIng Of these people in
1880, and we know what it meant then, for we
saw their words Of rant translated to deeds Of
blood. We know what they mean now, and
we know what their northern cOnfederates
mean. It is to seize the Government and pre-.
clpitate another revolution.
The people Of this country will not again
be deceived. The ranting OF these southern
people means another civil war, and fortu-
nately this time we know who are the con.
spiratOrs and chief promoters Of this plot. II
another war comes 1t will be the last for ten
generations to come, because when It closes
there will be no rebels left,

The river, at dark last evening, was

inches in Che chute, feet 3 inches over
