who are now determined to have something
to soy in the management of governmental
affans This is the first vigorous move of a
party now powerful in France, and becoming
80 in other portions of Europe, which, if fol-
lowed up with prudence and patience. and at
the same time with determination, will ere
long work changes which will startle more
than one of 'those who govern in the mood
potential, and make them tremble for dy-
nastic SUGGESTIONS when confronted by the
champions of equal rights and the apostles of
that faith which teaches that all men are free
and equal.
1t remains TO be seen whether the current
of revolution now prevalent in Europe will be
directed with moderation in the smooth chan
mel of peace or by ill-advised zeal, be com
PEELED to find vent in the rugged one of war.
France is the main field of action Just now,
and much depends upon the result of the in
itiatory contest now in progress. A popular
uprising in defiance of imperialism could
accomplish nothing so long as Napoleon is
sustained by his army; and this fact is doubt
less too well appreciated by the leaders of the
opposition for them to act with undue haste
in precipitating the crisis or provoking a con-
fict. The future, at all events whether for
peace or war, is fraught with momentous
issues for the peoples of Europe, and we can
only hope when the fight does come, if come
it must, that those immense standing armies,
now a curse to modern civilization, will be
used for monarchs against monarchs, instead
of by monarchs against their people.

rejection of provisions which would have per-
petuated peril and strife They are con-
vinced THAT the election was fairly conducted
and tlat the result expresses the settled
desires and purposes of a great majority of
the people. Thus applauding both the result
and the means by which it was attained, it is
not surprising that the mischievous sugges-
tons of those who do not like to confess
themselves defeated meet with little favor.
1t is felt that they who would foster divisions
among the supporters of reconstruction in
Virginia are as culpable and foolish as the
Democrats who pretended to discern party
advantage in an event involving the repudia-
ton of every distinctive principle by which
that party is known in the North or West.
This confident estimate of the situation in
Virginia has been gre ally strengthened by the
course of the Governor elect, and the tenn
Ier6te and just tone of the local press. At
Richmond, at Washington, and in New York
before his constituents amid the excite
ment of victory, in his interviews with the
President! and with friends of the admins
tration-Mr. Walker has held the same Ian
guage. He regards his own election, on the
platform he occupied, as in effect a triumph
for the Grant administration. He asserts
his determination to stand aloof from every
influence, personal and political, which may
tend adversely to the development of the
policy incident TO reconstruction. He is re-
solved TO uphold the black man in the exer-
else of his rights, and to promote harmony
and good feeling between the races The
Virginia journals that were most effective in
the canvass assume substantially the same
position. They insist that old partisan issues
shall be discarded, and that the promises inn
| piled in the election of Mr.. Walker and the
ratification of the Constitution shall be full
filed by the people. Nowhere do we trace Q
sign of bad faith, or of any feeling or purpose
which the friends of reconstruction should
not hail as satisfactory. Everywhere, on the
contrary, may be discerned evidence of the
complete revolution that has been wrought in
the sentiments and temper of Virginians, anC
of their title to the confidence of the Presi
dent and Congress.

THE INDIAN COMMISSIONS.
From the N. Y. Times.

.
Mr.. Vincent Colyer views our Indian pros
poets, we fear, somewhat over-happily, since
to him everything looks c0uIeur de rose.
There is certainly a wide difference between
his CHEEKY assurance that ''by patient efforts
all the tribes can be civilized, and that sin
less than two years we shall have heard the
last of Indian outrages, and the dictuD of
the London Times that annihilation is proba-
bly, the only sort of civilization the Indians can
hope for. However, there is this to be said
for the former opinion, that Mr.. Colyer has
just come from visiting thirty-one tribes,
more or less hostile, while the Times has only
observed the sham Indians and sham wigwams
they have in London
The present year in Indian affairs may be
called tentative or experimental one-the
testing of the peace policy which the Quaker
Commission is especially aiming to enforce,
and which is supported so cheerfully by the
administration. Congress, next winter, will
have such an amount and variety of informa-
ton regarding the actual condition of Indian
tribes laid before it, as 1T has never yet
enjoyed. The appointment of the Quakers as
Superintendents and Agents in so many in
stances was the cause of rousing general
interest in the Indians among that denomina-
ton of Christians. Again, the Indian coun-
try has been divided into three grand regions
and each of them will be visited very soon by
those members Of the Indian Commission,
who will examine very closely the actual con-
dition of the red men. Mr.. Colyer found
everything ghtful-school-tea and
farming tools in abundance, and mo drunk
enness no violence, no blasphemous word. 3"
But what we shall be likely to know from the
very great attention given to the Indian pro-
blem this summer, is the exact status of the
Indian and exactly what can be done with
him.
From what has been discovered thus far we,
should say that it is likely that the reserva-
ton policy will be recommended more
strongly than ever, as the basis of all Indian
| legislation and action; that the whole treaty
| system will be abolished, root and branch;
that we shall never henceforth make diplo-
matte negotiations with Indians, as if they
were foreign nations; and that certain at
tempts may be made, whether in connection
| with territorial organization or otherwise, to
connect them more directly with our republi-
can system of government.

CLOSING UP THE WORK.

From the NJ Y. Tribune.
The President, as we stated recently has
decided that Mississippi shall vote on her new
Constitution and elect new State officers on
the fourth Tuesday in November and the
same day has been designated for the
kindred election in Texas. 1t is well not
to be too precipitate in so grave mat
ter, whereof the result is mot for day,
but for all times" yet we could have wished 1t
expedient that each of these States should be
fully reconstructed before the 1st of Decem-
Der; so that the President might announce
the gratifying fact in his annual message, and
urge Congress to do promptly its part to-
wards perfecting once more the circle OF an
unbroken Union. Let us have no haste likely
to mar the perfection of the work; but, that
secured, the earliest day on which military
rule can be replaced by republican self-govern-
ment in the States still under the dominion OF
the sword, is the best day for the States and
for the Union.
The delay that has thus far been found ne
cessary has proved source OF healing. The
unprecedented majority by which Virginia
votes to resume her place in the Union under
q Constitution which guarantees all rights to
all, bids fair to be paralleled in Mississippi
and in Texas. The latter has framed Con-
stitution so generous and comprehensive that
the ex-Rebels will nearly all vote to ratify 1t;
and everything we hear thence leads us to an
ticipate the election of General A. j. Hamilton
(whom they warmly supporD as Governor by
a large majority. Mississippi will doubtless be
allowed like opportunities with Virginia, and
will vote to strike from her proposed Consti-
tuition all proscriptive and disfranchising pro-
visions by large majority. The people of
both States are more than satisfied with the
| action of General Grant in the premises and
are quite ready to settle all outstanding diff
ferences on the broad basis of universal am
nesty with impartial suffrage. We shall be
disappointed if we are doomed to wait till
Washington's next birthday to congratulate
our country ON her perfect restoration to
peace and loyalty on the comprehensive basis
| of all rights for all.

NEW ENGLAND GETTING ALARMED.

From the N. Y. Herald
The immense emigration to the West and
the rapidly augmenting populations of the
States of the Pacific from the importation of
Chinese, together with the significant move
ments in the South looking to the introduc-
tion of Chinese or coolie labor in that section,
in large numbers, have awakened considera-
bic alarm among New England politicians in
regard to the tenure of their hold upon the
supremacy of the National Governments. The
papers are beginning to publish statistics
showing how the New England States are
losing ground in the matter of the apportion-
mept for members of Congress, and how their
strength is gradually receding while that of
the West is rapidly increasing. 1t is even
proposed to cut Massachusetts, in twain and
erect a new State out of the western counties.
1t is also proposed to make two new States
out Of Maine. This will give New Eng
land six additional members in the United
States Senate, and number of members of
the lower house. II is probable other Eastern
States that can be gerrymandered to advan-
tage will also be carved up into convenient
State communities handy to handle and small
enough to clap into the breeches pocket of
any pigmy politician New England may desire
to inject into the councils of the nation We
do not learn that the mighty domain of the
great State of Rhode Island-which, it has
been said, is not broad enough in some parts
to afford the requisite space of twelve PAGES on
which to fight duel according to the code
will come under the carving knife of the radical
politicians of her larger cities But while Little
Rhody may be suffered to remain intact, there
is no mistaking the fact that the New England
politicians are becoming seriously alarmed
at the prospect of losing their preponderating
influence in the Government Some of the
Western papers have taken up the idea and
are pointing to it with exultation, as showing
that, indeed, westward "the star of empire
is taking its way, with the view in prospect of
the national capital being established in St
Louisa point recommended even by her
rival sister city, Chicago. Hence the present
perturbation among the dry bones of the New
England political stagers is but natural In a
few years these New England philosophers,
with their narrow and bigoted notions their
holy exelusiveness, their arched eyebrows and
elevated noses, will be politically submerged
as if by a political deluge, and 'after the
| deluge-what? ?"

HOW THE VIRGINIA ELECTION IS IN
TERPRETED.
From, the N. Y. Times.

From the NJ Y Times.
BY the Republican press generally the re-
suit of the Virginia contest is interpreted
fairly and practically. There is no disposi-
tion to claim it as mere partisan triumph,
and none to concede the pretensions with
which in the first instance Northern Demo
Gratis attempted to invest it, Mr.. Forney's
two papers continue their carping criticism,
and the sheet which echoes the modification
of Mr.. Wells at Richmond labors hard to mis-
represent both the causes and consequences
of his defeat. These exceptional grumblers
only render more emphatic the congratula-
tions of Republican journals elsewhere, and
more significant the meaning they attach to
the ratification of the Constitution and the
election of Mr.. Walker.
The all -pervading feeling is one OF satisfac-
ton and hope. Without tpausing to analyze the
motives of all who supported the Walker
ticket, our Republican contemporaries see IN
its success the gain of the administration and
of the reconstruction policy with which 1t is
identified. They recognize in the union Of
influences by which success was achieved the
annihilation of the prejudices and passions
which have separated white and black, and
the strongest assurance of political equality in
the future. They are satisfied with the
constitution as adopted, and with the

called in tie park. Phil. was made Chairman.
Mr.. LeaheJ, of SCOTS constabulary force, read
the Declaration. Realf spoke abundanty. He
inveighed very heavily against social equality
among whites and blacks, and his speech, in the
main, was se3uctively non-partisan. Realf is cum
ming, and wants to make fair weather for himself.
But Realf won't do; that's clear case Prince
Rivers and another negro spoke also. The negro
members of the Legislature stood afar of, eschew-
ing the procession, and not seeming to take pleas
ure in the dirty proceedings. And strange to re-
late, not only the said Legislators eschewed the
procession, but also Eichelberger and Realf, and
the few white men in our midst of professed Re-
publican sentiments. Not one Of them marched,
cih the negroes, after the "old fay" to do it rep
erence. No, not one What does this mean? Do
the negroes not notice that the men whom they
have elee led to Office in Edgefeld District, avoid
their company, and take nopart in their demon
strations. How do they account for the milk in
the cocoanut?
Divers burly negro fellows, armed with huge
cudgels, acted as drill-Inastsss; and throughout

The whole thing was an intensely disgusting and
