The Herald says of the resignation Of
the British Minister, That this prompt
reep0nse to the will of the British people
is popularity expressed, and wiD be re-
garded with satisfaction by both friends
and foes OF the late premier. There was,
In fact, no other alternative, and that il
would be = hsppy thing for Our own
country If every csbinet minister should
feel Obliged to tender Bis resignation
to the President whenever the popular
will has been expressed in opposition

tration. The policy Of the new British
ministry will, 10 doubt, soon be devel-
oped. In the meantime we await the
course of events ia Great Britain With
profound interest. They may be pFeg-
nant with significant consequences, not
only to the future OF the whole British
empire, but to the progress Of Liberal
ism among European nations generally.

movements against the Indians as the
only.true plan of deGliDgswith them.

rsi Of his friends are making pTepara-

Aletter Is published from Gen. o. o.
Howard TO Gen. Braun, assistant Com
missioner of the Bureau for Virginia,
giving his reasons FIR closing up all but
the Claim division and Educational work.
He says: Il have 10 doubts that a con-
tinuance Of the Bureau in the States not
yet Reconstructed, would, in many in
stances, be beneficial to ths freedmen,
but 10 not think its continuance 8bsO-
lutely necessary without other aid to
protect their lives or secure to them their
political rights. il is very trle that in
mary parts of the late slave States, 1t is
difficult for c0l0red men to get justice In
Inferior Courts, and in many counties
in those States his rights are neg.
lected or positively disTegaTdsd, and
in q certain class g prejudice exists,
amounting to hatred, which only time
can eradicate. The conduct Of this class
may be restrained by 8 Wholesome en-
forcement OF the Law, but cannot be rec
titled by Officers of this Baresu. This
has been clearly demonstrated Ia the
States which have been reconstructed,
and in the unrecOnstructed protection
can still be extended ia a more summary
way by the military commander, through
his officers, under the authority OF the
reconstruction acts. Gen. Howard adds
that the civil authorities should supply
the poor with food, bat If it is necessary,
TO prevent suffering, the Government
cen continue q limited issue OF supplies,
through its military officers. He will, he
says, continue the school work in Viz
GINA, with all the means ct bis conn
msnd, q portion of the appropriations
therefor remaining u~nexpended.
