COLONEL WYNKooP's RESIGNATION. Colonel
wynkoop, in resigning his position as Indian
Agent, makes some severe reflections on the
action Of the United States forces on the Plains,
characterizing their recent battles with the In
dams as cruel and unnecessary massacres OF
friendly bands. 1t must be remembered that the
agents of the Indian Bureau differ widely with
the military IN their idea Of the best method OF
settling our constant Indian troubles, and pro-
badly in their estimate of the Indian charac-
ter. Such broad statement as that made by
Colonel wynkoop should be taken with much
allowance, especially when II is remembered
that facts may have been known to the military
that were not in possession Of the agent.

GENERAL GRANTS MOVEMENTS. General
Grant, to avoid the Office seekers and Cabinet
makers, seems to have adopted the policy of
keeping on the wing. He is here to-day and
gone tomorrow. He left Washington on Sat
urday evening last for the grand army officers
reunion at Chicago; and when that affair
is over he may perhaps take run
out to the Indian country to see about
the Indians, or to New Orleans to
look after the Cuban filibusters, or, peradven-
ture, to Cuba itself, for a change Of air. This
idea of keeping on the wing, at all events, is
not bad one in view of that other idea of the
General, 'sLet us have peace"

The Late Elections in Great BRITANNIA
Couple OF characteristics.

The Late Elections in Great BRITANNIA
Couple OF characteristics.
Now that the elections in Great Britain are
over and the results are before US there are
some characteristics which are entitled to pass
ing notice. Notably among these there are two.
The one is that although Mr.. Disraeli was in
strumental in passing very substantial mea-
sure of reform-a measure which at first
seemed to threaten q complete revolution of
the constituencies, and, through the constitu-
encies Of the House of Commons-the repre-
sentatves of the people are in no sense differ
ent to what they would have been If no Reform
bill had been passed. There have been, from
Beales to Bradlough, somewhere about dozen
workingmen's candidates; but, strange to say,
not single workingmen's candidate, pure and
simple, has been successful at the polls. How
is this? What does it mean? We can explain
it on no other principle than this-that work
ingmen have no faith in demagogues. 1t is
curious fact that in spite of the loud cry which
the working classes in all countries raise for
reform they are the most conservative OF the
population. Not only have all the working
mems candidates been rejected, but Mr..
Bright of the three Birmingham members
polled the smallest number Of votes, and Mr..
Gladstone was defeated in his self-chosen
section of Lancashire. On one occasion New
York State tried workingmens candidate,
but the fellow proved so egregious failure
that the experiment has never since been re-
peated. It is well that demagogism should be at
discount. The other characteristic is rowdy-
ism. Riots have been common in the neigh
borhoods of the polls all over Lancashire.
They have occurred in other parts of England.
They have been not uncommon in Ireland,
and even canny Scotland has had to witness
some disagreeabie scenes. What contrast
is thus presented to republican America!
| Great Britain has no choice now but to accept
| the ballot box.

THE ALABAMA CLAIMs-OLD BEN WADE's
ULTIMATUM JUST THE THING. 1t is given
out that in answer to the House resolution
calling for the papers on the Alabama claims
negotiations the President will respond that
as the disclosure Of the correspondence just
now would be incompatible with The public
interests &C., he cannot furnish IT. Mean
time, we think that "Old Ben Wade's" ulti-
matum, if put forth in the shape of joint
resolution from Congress, would very much
enlighten the two Johnsons and facilitate q
settlement. We mean this simple PROPOSE
ton :-''Here is the bill of the depredations on
our commerce by the British-built and British
munitioned and provisioned and manned rebel
cruiser Alabama, and we want the money or
your answer-yea or nay" This is the only
settlement which will satisfy the American
people.

dispatches from Spain state that the Carlists
in Lower Arragon are making preparations
for revolt. This adds another faction to the
many already contending with the avowed
purpose Of settling the future destiny Of the
peninsula. There are now in active opera
ton in that distracted country the Prim party,
the Montpensier party, the Queens party, the
Carlist element, and, probably stronger than
all OF them, the republican party of the
people; for there is very little doubt that the
masses incline towards popular government.
But behind all these parties stands Napoleon,
watching the course of events, and behind
him Bismarck, also making notes.

The winter seems to have closed in upon us
with its icy embrace rather early. The cold
snap has set in with charge all along the
line From the frosty regions Of New Eng

City, the border town of the great prairies,
where in summer the fierce heat drives man
and beast into shelter, the thermometer on
Friday stood at fifteen degrees below zero,
while in the Southern cities of Montgomery and
Savannah water froze in the shade. With this
great belt of ice surrounding us the time has
evidently come for phianthropists to look to
the condition Of the poor. We care not
whether they be organized in societies for pur
poses OF public charity, or whether they be
men of wealth who have the power to relieve
the sufferings of the poor. Now is the time to

it is to give employment to the unemployed.
