The Rouse of Representatives
passed almost as soon as il was or
ganized a bill to transfer the In
dams to the War Department, but
the matter seems to hang fire in the
Senate. After the bill had passed
the House, the National Inteli-
gepcer said +: passed by the Sen
ATE, it will be read with a grim
satisfaction by tall, military look
ing gentleman now beyond the seas.
The person we refer to is Mr.. Jeffer-
son Davis; he who figured not long
since conspicuously at Richmond,
Montgomery and other places. This
plan Of transferring the Indians to
the War Department, taking the
whole matter from civilians and
giving it to the army, originated
with Mr.. Davis, and was always one
of his pet projects, on which he
most earnestly insisted Thistribute
to his Judgment, however tardy,
viii hardly fail to be appreciated,
and the fact that it comes from those
not over and above friendly to him,
makes it all the more a graceful
and handsome proceeding" This
is probably fatal to the bill, for the
committee of the Senate to whom it
was referred, are in favor Of creating
new department to take charge Of
Indian affairs.

pie know that legislative expedients
cannot make public prosperity in
deed, that legislation directed
affirmatively, and in special mea
sures, obstructs and and retards it.
A profound thinker and historical
reviewer has said that the only
good ever accomplished by legisla-
ton has consisted in undoing the
evil of previous legislation, and this
is only another mode of expressing
the aphorism that the world is too
much governed.
1t is true: and, while we com
mend the subjects which have ex-
cited the enquiries of the Louisiana
Senate to our own Legislature, we
would urge that few wise, just,
and equal measures, general in their
scope, and leaving industrial pros
perity to Individual exertion, would
be preferable to a volume of statu-
tory panaeeas for the ills of the
body polite.

THE insurgents in Cuba claim
that they have made considerable
progress toward asserting the indie
pendence of that island, and they
point to the result of engagements
with the government troops as proof
of what they assert. 1t is very
evident that the authorities there
are not over confident. Informa-
ton has been received at the Spanish
Legation in Washington, from Ler-
sundi, Captain General of Cuba, to
the effect that he does not consider
the present aspect Of affairs on that
island as very threatening. He is
Of opinion, however, that in case
Spain should become involved in
general civil war it would SO wea-
ken her hold upon Cuba as to lead
to the success of the revolutionists.
1t is also said at the Legation that
General Dulce is on the way to Cuba
to relieve Lersundi.

COLFAx,s PRomrsRs.

Mr.. Speaker Colfax, the Vice
President elect, is one of the most
vindictive men who holds any posi-
ton of prominence in this country.
He rarely makes speech that he
does not make some disreputable
allusion to the Southern people.
The Union League of Philadelphia
gave him a banquet Saturday night,
in honor of his election to the
second Office in the nation, and in
the midst of the hilarity on that
occasion, he could not forget his
hatred of this people Mr.. Colfax
evidently regards himself as the
great man of the incoming admin
istration. In his Philadelphia
speech after lecturing the people of
the South as to what was demanded
Of them by the late election, he
thus recognized the grave duties
and responsibilities imposed upon
Gen. Grant by his election to the
highest Office within the gift of the
people. He said: -s
at demands the most searching re-
trenchment, like that which signalized the
administration by its President elect Of
one Of the governmental departments
which was entrusted to his hands. 1t de-
mands honesty and efficiency, higher
character, Of all who are to be connected
with the public service, that the honest
taxpayer may no longer be required to
bear the burdens off the dishonest as well
as bis own. With q President whose
cardinal principle is that the law of the
land must be obeyed, and not thwartsd
or nullified, the nation may hope that his
subordinates will exhibit a fidelity to
duty akin to their chief. 1t demands a
strict and rigid guardianship Of the mas
TONS treasury against all unwise and
extravagant schemes. 1t demands q
financial policy which shall maintain, IN
impaired and untarnished, our credit
the right arm Of the country in times Of
peril-which shall appreciate our cur
rency, and which shall finally place US on
the firm rock ofspecie payment"
Bravely said. But his partisan
friends do not appear to practice
upon this idea of rigid economy
1t was economy to keep President
Johnson from appointing Supreme
Judges to fill vacancies, but now
that Grant is elected, they propose
to add seven more Judges to the
Supreme Bench, that he may have
an opportunity to reward that mum
Der of his partisans. They also
want to give him a salary of $780,,
900 a year, and build a new White
House for him to live in. These are
some evidences of the appreciation
of that rigid economy which Collar
says is imposed upon the new ad
ministration. We fear Colfax'.
pretty talk is all we shall have il
that direction, unless Grant shall
kick out of the partisan traces.

A PETITION is in circulation for
the pardon of JEFF Davis, and all
others under Presentment and in
dictment for having been engaged

Times Republican) says Thus
far, we believe, it has only been
signed by Democratic members Of
Congress; but there are a great

glad TO see an end put to this dis

On his return to Washington
from Chicago. Gen. Grant is repor-
ted to have found a large number of
letters demanding his attention
which had accumulated during his
absence. 1t may be interesting to
a certain class of patriots to learn
that, being in quest of offices, their
letters met no better fate than
others of similar character received
prior to his visit TO Chicago, for they
were opened by his secretary and
thrown into the fire as soon as their
character was ascertained.

THE Anti Slavery Standard has
come to the conclusion that the
fourteenth constitutional amend
ment was conceived in stupidity
and ignorance" and that it was
passed only in consequence of "the
cowardice of Republican leaders
and the criminal obstinacy of the

sidering that the "Traitor " in

sible way, this is pretty strong
language.

Grants Capacity.

The only authentic history of General
GRANT yet published was written few
months ago by his father and published
in the New York Ledger. Written by
his father, it's facts cannot be ques-
toned; and it certainly gives better
idea of his fitness for the civil magis,
tracy of forty millions of people than
any of the score or so of ridiculous ro'
mauces put forth by thread bare penny
a.lipers. We make the following ex-
tract from this biography:
from the Life of General Grant, by his Father
published in the New York Ledger

was a call for somebody to come forward

pony ran; but lit produced no effect on th'
rider. Then the ring master made th'
monkey Jump up on to Ulysses's shoul
ders, standing with his feet apon hi'
shoulders, and with his hands holding
on to his hair. At this there was an
other aud still louder shout, but NO
amusele of Ulysses's face moved. Their

more rounds and the RUG master gave
