Convenient Ignorance of the Indian
Bureau.
From the ". Y. Times.

OuItHus
From, me ". Y. Times
There used to be a somewhat malicious say
ing during the Rebellion, that, whenever ne VS.
came OF q Union defeat, its details were told in
the largest capitals by certain of the Northern
press on the other hand, when the tidings
were OF victory, "no particulars have yet been
received"
Without pushing the parallel too far, we
must yet protest that invariably, when news
has come from the Plains OF horrible mas
sacre committed by the Indians (like the Fet-
terman slaughter, or those on the Solomon,
Saline, and Republican forks), or, OF a we'll
deserved "sslty dose" administered to them,
like Forsyth's fight or Custer's battle, the
Indian Bureau receives ''no particulars at this
Office confirming the rnmOr" But let there
be some shortcOmiDg or crime on our
part, a Hancock campaign or Chivington
massacre, and full details reach tho same
Bureau in seven leagued boots.
To apply this generalization more specially,
we find that, in the face of the two official re-
ports OF General Sheridan, aud the two of
General Sherman, announcing the late vic
tory on the Wachita, the Indian Bureau re-
ports that mo particulars have been received
here" Nor is this all. 1t starts the old cry
OF "slaughteIing the innocents," and claims
that the Indians who were punished had never
been hostile.
But what are the faotsi They are, first,
that the bands attacked were Cheyennes, Ar
Ts.shces and Kiowsa. These three tribes

GOOD JOKE ON A SERIOUS SUBJECr-A
good legislative joke is indeed rara avis
The one with which the House Committee
on Ways ann Means must be credited on &C.
count of the bill they reported Thursday
is among the best on record. On Monday
the House by large majority directed that
Committee to report forthwith hill taxing
the interest of government bonds ten per
cent. The house does not favor reputation;
no, it "scorns the haction." But it would in
nocently tax the interest of government
bonds. That may be done properly enough
you know" But the Ways and Means
COMMITTEE of the House, in common with
nine-tenths Of the Republicans of the
country hold the opinion that Withholding
part of the interest as tax is, pro tanto, re-
pudiation. But being instructed to report
bill the exact nature of which was prescribed,
they had no discretion but to obey. Accordingly
they brought in the bill which was printed in
our telegraphic columns yesterday morn
ing,-and what bill! Instead of sugar.
ing over the population monster with art
full phrases they let it stand out in
its native deformity, with the expectation DO
doubt that the House will abandon the scheme
in disgust after such disclosure of its true
hideousness. The United States has issued
three classes OF bonds promising to pay the
holders six, five, and three per cent. interest.
This bill provides that instead of six, five and
three per cent the interest actually paid shall
be reduced ten per cent in each case, making
1t $40, 4-5O and 2.70 per cent. according to the
class of the bond. This was the only possible
t hing to be done in compliance with the re-
quirement of the House, but it was not ex-
pected that it would be made so open, gross
and palpabe.

The Fourth of JuIy.

The celebration of the anniversary of our
national independence will not be quite so
general this year as it has often been in the
past. The intensity of the political excite
ment and the imminence of grand political
campaign divert attention from the claims of
a day, the celeb alton of which has reference
rather to the glorifcation of republican insti-
buttons and the exaltation of the American
eagle as an abstract bird than to specific PC lit
ical movements. There is no decline of patri-
otto feeling, perhaps, but matters are not in
that harmonious and satisfactory condition
that leads to those ebulitions of Joy that for
mery made the United States a decidedly
noisy country for one day in the year at least
The fact is things have not gone on during
the past year just as they should. Something
has been the matter with the Gulf Stream, and
that has led to unpleasant meteorological dis
plays. There has been a plague in the moral
atmosphere, too, that has manifested itself in
an unusual number of murders and suicides, a
weakness for robbery and arson, greenback her
estes, Democratic reactions" in some places
railroad accidents, bond-taxation and the va
rious phases OF the new and dangerous cpl
demic, Pendletonianism. 1t would be para
dOx, most illogical sequence Of events, for
hearty celebration of fourth Of July to fol-
low an autumn and spring when the Demo-
Gratis have any reason to congratulate them
selves on the result of elections, since the de-
cline of confidence in the success of the Re-
public, both at home and abroad, keeps EVEN
pace with the progress of Copperheadism.
But there is another and more pleasant
side to the picture. The good that has been
done the present year is not of a nature to
show immediate results. Perhaps more than
one year will pass before the establishment OF
civil aud political equality throughout large
part of the country will be estimated at its
true value. But perhaps when the great CEN
tennial anniversary of 1876 arrives the country
will have arrived at a due appreciation of the
increased stability to the state and the in
creased security to individuals given by laying
the foundations of the COVE rnment, where
they belong, on the interests of all the people.
Universal suffrage has now been made the
rule, and all the different kinds of divergence
from it are recognized as abnormal The bal
lot given to the laborers of the South can only
be taken from them by revolution, and if that
violent method is resorted to the result will be
that from second civil war will spring state
that is from foundation to capstone and in ev-
cry part OF its structure purely democratic.

GEN. GRANT is said to be strongly in favor
of Mr.. Jenckes' civil service bill. So is every
honest and disinterested man in the country.
A few weeks ago there was a concerted move
ment by the Republican press of the country
in favor Of the bill. Congressman were threat
ened with dire pains and penalties if they me-
elected it. But now the press has become ST.
lent and not a word is heard in the legislative
halls concerning it. The selfish interests of
the members lead them to neglect it, They
don't want to lose the power OF rewarding
their friends, and it is as certain as anything
can be, that unless continual clamor is kept
up by the people tho bill will never become a

A VOICE FROM IsD1AsA.-The New York

A VOICE FROM INDIANA. New York
Tribune in its report of the gathering of Dem
ocrats to attend the convention to be held to-
day, has the following humorous sketch:
During the excitement at the Fifth avenue
Hotel yesterday Il delegate from Green Coun-
ty, Indiana, entertained promiscuous crowd
by delivering few brief remarks He said he
was for Pendleton, and said he, II want these
Wall Workers to understand that they may
talk about paying off the National debt in gold
as much as they like, but if they get the West
to agree to it they'll have to be id sight
smarter than l think they are. Now, I'm from
Indianny, am, and [ go in for green-back
policy. That's me. And 1 want these Wall-st.
Workers to know what I'm going to tell 'em,
and which is this, that if they insist ON paying
the debt in gold the Great West will rise up in
her might before a year is past and demand
ant instant repndiation of the National Debt.
tApplause.] And I'll tell them further-that
we western folks know what we are about.
even if we are in New York, where the bland
ishments of Wall-st. are spread all around and
over u.s." [Applause.] 1t was no place, nor
was it an occasion, for a Wall-st broker with
gold-paying proelivities to manifest his pres
euee, aud NO response was made to the elo-
quent remarks of the gentleman from Indiana
Greene. County.
