upon which her eyes were rivited, read
aloud she words Thereof ca+efulIy and
distinctly; she 1pauscd between each
word ,]as though each were spelt and
pronounced irrespective of its compan-
ions. It was mere mechanical effort,
productive OF no mental result.
This seemed to occur to her, for she
threw away the paper with an impatient
gesture, and sat down, leaning her arms

BUrrEE TAKING THE BULL BY THE HORNS. -
General Butler has taken the first step in Con-
grcss for supporting and strengthening the ad-
ministration Of President Grant. He has iu-
troduced bill to repeal the Tenure Of Office
act, with view Of relieving the new admins
tration Of the shacklcs with which Congress
has bound Mr. Johnson. This Is On excellent
movement and comes with good grace and
magnanimity from the hero Of Dutch Gap.
That botiling mp remark Of Grant is forgiven,
evidently, II not forgotten, and II j. clear Gen.
cral Butler does not intend TO he cipher
under the new order Of things. He will
pro badly be the leader Of the House and the
organ Of Grants administration.

rested, but would also give satisfaction TO all
other foreign nations"
This hint comes from the Secretary Of State.
II is what we might have expected from head
SO full Of annexation projects; but still it
comes upon us as surprise. In fact, mas
much as tho annexation of Hayti would in
volve the addition to the Union of a State
entirely made up Of niggers, tame and wild,
about half and half, this idea Of the State of
Hayti as proposition from Mr.. johnson of an
out-and- out experiment of negro supremacy is
a sumner.
But upon the main question in our foreign
relations, those Alabama claims, what has the
President to sayP After touching upon the
fisheries he says three other questions with
England remain to be settled--the mutual
rights Of naturalized citizens, q boundary ques-
ton on the Pacific coast, and the claims
arising since the year 1853 Of the citizens and
subjects Of the two countries against the gov
ernments Of each other, and that he expects
shortly TO lay the protocols before the Senate
calculated to settle all these questions. This
absolves Reverdy Johnson. He has been acting
in England under Mr. Stewards instructions.
But we learn from the Message something
that we had not suspected, that England's
Offsets to our Alabama claims are accepted,
and that all these things are to be bundled up
together in the treaty settling the Alabama
difficulty THIS looks very much like sur
render of our case, with the vital issue Of
inswgent ''belligerent rights" involved. II
SO, however, these protocols when presented
win be promptly rejected by tho Senate or we
mistake the pressure Of public opinion.
Boosting and pleading tho marvellous excel
Iencles of the constitution all Che way through,
MIR. Johnson closes his Message with a propo :
sition for four amendments. The style Of the
document is very good, and in its arguments
and recommendations generally it is an able
and seasonable State paper bnt for all practi-
cal purposes it might have been probably re-
duced to one-half or one-fourth the space ii
occupies. In this matter, as in other things,
we expect from President Grant q very desra

The Indian Question-The House Bill
The bill for the transfer of the Indian
Bureau to the War Department. introduced in
the House of Representatives by Mr.. Garfield,
Of Ohio, passed by an overwhelming majority,
despite the opposition offered to it by tho
friends of the present corrupt system. u IL to
be hoped that the passage Of the bill will not
meet with any violent opposition IN the
Senate. II is difficult, indeed, to imagine
such result when we remember that the men
best acquainted with the Indian question, such
as General Grant, General Sherman and Cen
eral Sheridan, are unanimous in recomm ending
the transfer to the War Department. For
columns this precise settlement of the Indian
question as the only one that can bring peace
TO the frontier towns Of the West and secure a
final arrangement Of our much perplexed
dealings with those tribes OF savages, who
cannot be brought within the pale and in
fluence Of our civilization. If Mr.. Garfeld's
bill should pass the Senate and receive the
Presidents sanction there can be no doubt
that our troubles with the hostile Indians will
be brought to speedy conclusion by the
army. But the next point to be arrived at is
the future disposal of these tribes, who have
to be reduced by force to good behavior. II
is evident that they must be compelled to re-
tire upon distant reservations, and there be
mado subject to our laws and converted, as
far as possible, to our system of civilization,
just as the Seminoles, the Osages, the Pot
awatamies, Senecas and other tribes have
BEEN II may take time to accomplish this /;
but the preliminary step is very clearly to
bring them to subsection, to Impress upon
them practical knowledge Of the superior
power Of the government and the capacity Of
the military arm to enforce the obligations of
such treaties and compacts as may be entered
into with them. Believing that these results
can be best obtained by the transfer of the In
dian Bureau to the War Department, where
men like Sherman and Sheridan can have a
voice in its management, we trust that Mr..
Garlelds bill win become law.

THs LEssoN OF THE LATE Ono RIVER D1s-
AsTER.-It il something like locking the stable
door after the horse il stolen, but we are glad
to learn that bill will soon be introduced in
Congress prohibiting the transportation of pe-
troleum and other combustible materials on in
land passenger vessels. This is the lesson
taught by the sacrifice Of nearly hundred
lives by the late disaster on the Ohio; for il
appears that barrels Of petroleum were piled
up on board the United States in such . posi-
ton that when the America ran into her tho
intiammable stuff was hurled into the furnaces,
and, of course, instantaneous combustion en-
sued. The fact is the laws regulating tho
transportation and safe storage Of petroleum
and all dangerous explosive articles fsil
to meet the case, as we daily or nightly
witness, in terrible CONGREGATIONS on ship
board, in warehouses, and even at the fountain
heads Of petroleum thcmselves-the oil wells
Here is topic Tor Congress to show its inteili-
gence In practically legislsting upon tho
matter al the present session.

1t is now manifest that Spain is in great
trouble. The revolutionary leaders are now
seen in their true characters. Prim Serrano and
the others are now rather the men we thought
them before the revolution than the men they
seemed to be in the FIRST flush of revolutionary
hailed them az liberators Now Spain re-
CARDS them az traitors or as men who are mise
rably incompetent. Rumor has it that the
elections which were fixed for the middle Of
this month are not to take place till towards
the middle Of January, and that in conse-
quence the Cortes will not meet until Febru-
airy is far advanced. II ia now difficult to
resist the conviction that the revolutionary
eaaers are AsmpsEsd by pledges Which they
find It impossible to redeem. Montpens
sier babe q good figure; 80 no doubt
did Napoleon; but the people, who seem
resolved to have their way, and who know
nothing OF pledges, are bar both to Mont
pensier and Napoleonic plans. Judging from
late news the republican sentiment is grow
Ing. We know it Is strong in the southern
tested by the provisional government can have
no other effect than TO band the people to-
gether and to Inspire them with common re-
publican sentiment. The revolutionary tide,
If we are to judge from recorded facts, is too
strong to be controlled, and il seems to be the
discrimination Of the government to save them
selves and to get rid of their pledges by allow
ing events to take their course. II will be
seen by our Cuba dispatches this morning.
that this view Of the state of affairs in Spain is
essentially confirmed.

Mr.. JENoKEs' Owl SKRvIoE BILL. Mr..
Jenckes. Of Rhode Island, is one of those few
congressman who seriously appreciate and
undertake the duties Of legislator. With tho
same singleness & purpose Which Ae displayed
as author Of the Bankruptcy bill he has
persisted in celebrating and urging his Civil
Service bill. This latter bill stands fourth
on the Speakers table, and 1t is not unlikely
that it may be passed early during the present
session of Congress. We are glad to learn
that this Is 80, inasmuch as this bill, with tho
details Of which the readers Of the HERALD
have already been made familiar, may prove
cure for that terrible disease OF ofice-seeking
on the part of incompetent asrirants, by which
our body polite has so long and 80 danger
ously been afflicted. BY the passage of this
bill General Grant, as our next President will
enjoy unprecedented opportunities for carrying
into execution the system Of economy and
honesty to which men of all pa rites feel that
he is pledged in advance.
