A PhiIippic Against D,sloyaIty.

A Philippe Against DIslOyalty.
WENDELL PHILLIPS has made his annual visit
to Philadelphia, and we congratulate the good
people Of the city on the fact that his visit Is
concluded and he himself, in all probability,
on his way back to the Hub. These annual
visits of the irrepressible and erratio Wendell
are usually made about the time Of the
regular meeting of the Pennsylvania
Anti i-Slavery Society, of which Wen
dell is sort Of ornamental honorary
member-decidedly more ornamental than
useful, we are led to believe. In addition to
the customary lecture to which our people
are treated by Wendell-this year it was on
Daniel O'Connell-they are afforded, by the
coincidence of the Anti-Slavery meeting, an
opportunity to listen to him without parting
with any of their small change. Yesterday
afternoon the great agitator unburdened himself
in the closing hour of the ant-slavery meeting,
and among the subjects which he agitated
was the reticence of General Grant. The
PIesident-elect, in his Tuesday evening speech
before the Union League Of New York, init
mated that he should receive a great deal of
credit for setting our public men good ex-
ample by his brevity, if in no other respect.
Here Wendell takes issue with General Grant,
declaring that while his ''reticence as soldier
was proper, as Presidential candidate it was
disloyal." The unblushing impudence of this
assertion is so overwhelming that we are un-
able to make any comment upon it, further
than to repeat that we are glad Wendell has
wound up his visit and started for the Hub.

"A Foul Nest of Thieves"

WHEN Mr.. Schenck, in advocating the bill for
restoring the Indian Bureau to the War De-
partment, declared his belief that "no reform
proposed in the House would be so effective in
breaking up foul nest of thieves as the pas
sage of the bill" in question, he gave express
sion, in rather harsh language, to the belief of
all honest men who are familiar with the ini-
quities of our present Indian system,
and earnestly desirous of promoting
the best interests OF the aboriginal
tribes and of such of the whites as are brought
into contact with them. The recent reports of
Generals Sherman and Sheridan show how
pressing is the necessity for radical REFORM
and the experience of the Government since
the year 1S4S, when the Indian Bureau was
transferred from the War to the Interior De-
partment, establishes the fact that no reform is
practicable until the great mistake then made is
reotifed. "a foul nest OF thieves" the Indian
Bureau now is, as it has always been under
the management of the Interior Department,
and as 1t will always be under the manage
ment of that department.
The House promptly responded to the re-
concentrations OF Generals Grant and Sher-
man, by passing the bill restoring the Bureau
to the War Department by decisive ma
jority. In the Senate, however, the bill came
to momentary grief yesterday, in consequence
of q reference to the Committee on Indian AT
fairs, instead of that on Military Affairs, as
was urged by its friends. 1t is to be hoped
that the advocates of reform in the Senate
will not suffer this reference to kill the bill,
but that they will demand an early report and
decisive action. II is full time that the "foul
nest of thieves" were broken up, fact Of
which Senators should be fully aware. They
have no excuse, moreover, for mistaking the
sentiment of the whole country upon the sub
ject.
