President This simple declaration will save
millions to a depleted Treasury. We must
nav our debts before incurring new ones, and
cspcciaIly we must stop the wholesale waste
Of money and lards covered by the many rail-

end of real estate speculations in the unprolit-

II may now be regarded as certain that the
Eastern complication will, for the present, not
lead to war. The Gar Of Russia, supported by
the King of Prussia, has proposed to the other
Great Powers the holding of a European Con-
ference for n pacific solution of the intricate
question: and the proposition is said 10 have
been received with general favor, and to be
sure Of execution. The frequent meeting of
European Conferences for settling difficult inter-
national questions Of this kind is one of the
most hopeful features OF tho recent
history of Europe. They have more
tnan once ayerted bloody wars, and are
creating general disposition, before rushing
to war, to make the utmost efforts for peace
full compromise. With regard to the Turkish
question European Conference is likely to
recommend to the Turks new concessions in
favor of the Christians. A redress of all, or
even of the principal grievances of the Chris
tan subjects of the Porte, is out of the ques
ton, as it would involve n dissolution of the
Turkish Empire, to which for the present
France and Austria would refuse to give their
consent. The Conference, therefore, while it is
likely to effect pOstpOnement of hOstilities,
cannot be expected to find an efficient remedy
for the decline Of the Turkish rule.

One Of our friends in Kansas complains OF
the following sentence, which recently appeared
in The TRIBUNE: "The Kansas and Colorado
" volunteers on the frontier are reported to be
"raising the barbarous cry of determination
against such Indians as are about to accept
"the Governments offers of colonization on
"thcir own reservations" That seems to us q
harmless remark but our correspondent writes:
:" Well, Mr.. Editor | think it time TO stop the
" feed after seeing that you are such sympa-
thizer with the red devils" We are really
very much concerned, and how on earth we
are to get along after our feed has been
stoppod VIC can't for the life of us imagine.

The negro troubles which the telegraph
ic correspondents in Georgia take pans
TO keep us advised of, bear the ap-
pcarance of having the refusal Of plan
ters to pay the labOrcrs their wages for
basis. The closing weeks of every year since
the revival Of industry at the South have been
prolific in such disturbances. Planters, through
failures in crops or bad management, have
made nothing, and they thereupon try to shnk
the payment of the negroes. These feel out
ragged, see no remedy. and finally, with rude
sense of justice, begin to seize upon the property
of their employers. Then wehave it announced
that the negroes are becoming riotous, are
plundering the country, and making life and
property unsafe. OF course they are partly to
blame; but we never hear their side, always
that of the defaulting whites.

The Directors Of the New-York Central Rail
road Company recently made scrip dividend
Of eighfy per cent out Of the alleged earnings
or profits of the last few years. Plesuming
this fair aud legitimate, we respectfully ask II
there be not a considerable Income Tax due
thereon to the Federal Treasury If the
earnings or profits Of tho Road had all been
divided annually, and new stock (or scrip

crued thercfrom to the Treasury. VIII the

If the meeting Of the American Geographical
and Statistical Society, last night, to consider
the Indian troubles, had gone beyond an ar
Taignment of the army and the Government
for getting us into the war. and had shown us
how to get out, without entering again the old
vicious circle of treaties, annuites, pres
ents. and promises, it would have accom-
plshed more valuable service. The
present Indian question seems to be simple
one. Shall we compel peace, as we have never
done before, or shall We buy peace as We have
been doing hitherto, with Indifferent results ?
Col. WynkOop told rs the whites were TO
blame for the late outbreaks, and in the
main we believe him. Bishop Whipplc
wrote that the vengeance of the
army has lately fallen on peaceful heads, and
we are afraid that his statement is partially
true. Gen. CullOm and Mr.. Cooper gave i'll
stances Of previous injustice to the Indians
which cannot be denied, and must always be
deplOrcd. But they offer no remedy, save one
that we have been trying to little purpose
Cor fifty years. Is it not better now, that
having allowed the army to begin an effort to
manage the matter, VIC should ut least give it
chance to show what it can do, before con-
demning it out of hand
New-York tribune., 1868-12-24

Later intelligence touching the homicide of
Gov. Beall, killed in an anray with George
NJ. Pinncy in Helena, Montana, some weeks
ago, seems to show that politics had nothing
to do with the quarrel, and that Mr.. Pinncy
acted in self-defense. After an examination
before United States Commissioner Hedges,
Mr. Pinney was discharged at the request of
the chief attorney for the prosecution, who de-
clared himself satisfied by the testimony that
it would be contrary to law and justice TO ask
that the defendant be held over to appear at
any higher tribunal.

Those who remember the jockeying in ap-

in payment for his confirmation, Mr.. Wood
secured the appointment Of Republican AS
