HOUSE

The House at holfpast two, went into commit
tee of the whole on the army appropriation uii'
and Mr. Hooper made O speech ON the finances,
Mr.. Blaine made statement in reference TO the
appropriation bill Tho total amount appiqpri
atcd in it, he said was Si3, 100, 800 the bill last
wear was between nine and ten millions less than
this BILL and he had Mt that time stated TO the
House that that sum would not be exceeded unless
bv expenditure that might be incurred IN conse
ouence Of an Indian war The increased amount
in this bill came from that cause il was his con-
yiaiion now. as it had been then, that the army
ought to I've reduced, and instead OF sixty regi-
ments. this or the next Congress ought TO provide
for reduction to thirty.
Ills remarks led to considerable discussion, in
which Mcssrs Brooks Logan, Garfield Pile and
others expressed their views regarding the pro-
prety of reducing the strength OF the army.
Finally, Mr. Farnsworth said that as everybody
seemed 10 he in favor Of n reduction of the army
at the earliest possible moment and as the chair,
man of the committe on military Affairs proiessed
| to be ready TO report an amendment Tor that ex-
/ press purpose, he would now ask Tor unanimous
/ consent that the chairman OF the committee on
military affairs might move his amcndmcnt TO the
| bill, and that it be printed.
/ Unanimous consent was given.
/ Mr. Blaine remarked that the amendment would
/ he held to be in order at the end of the bill that
was 50 agreed to and Mr.. Garfield stated that the
| committee ON military affairs would oner the pro-
/ poscd amendment at the end of the bill.

Secretary Schoield, being examined before q
Congressional Investigating Committee, on Wed
nesday last gave ii rs his belief that there will b,
general border war in the region north of tn,
Platte, next summer, unless Government mean
while makes arrangements To feed the Indians
according to treaty
Upon being asked what, in his opinion wa.
the cause af the Indian wars, the Secretary sale
they undoubtedly originated in aggressions upon
lands reserved to the sayages-in the failure tc
observe treaty stpulations, and in the shameful
robberies prlctced by whites The Indians show
disposition to maintain friendly relations until
they are subjected to all manner Of Outrage.
This opinion, from high official source, is en-.
titled to the fullest weight, and ought to tinge
with shame the cheek of every American. We
are spending scores of millions annually to fight
the Indians, without any permanently good re-
suit. II, for fraction of the sum, we could feed
and elothe them, and secure peace, is not the ex-
pertinent worth trying? Would it not better nc.
cord with our boosted civilization to use bread
especially when it can be done with a moiety Of
the expense-than to employ bullets in solving
this problem
If, as Secretary Schofeld suggests, the control
of Indians affairs were transferred to the War
Department, the change would drive of whole
army Of SPECTATORS whose unholy traffic it costs
so much blood and treasure to maintain. And
this lisa point worth thinking about

II we have an amount OF perishable property at

should we think Of the sailor who goes to sea
without anchors, because il is fair weather when
he sails, and what should we think of the hus-
band and father who makes no provision for wife
and children because he is yell to-day, although

Formerly, ii was difficult to obtain life insur-
ance in responsible companies There were those
which promised large dividends and advantages,
without any sufficient guarantees. Life insur-
ance should be perjtet-secure beyond all risks or
chances a company should not only have large
capital, but should be managed by men of the
highest integrity and financial ability We be-
leye that we have such an institution in the Ma
tional Life Insurance Company of the United
States of America. 1t has full paid capital Of
million dollars and with such fnaneiers as
Jay Cooke, and Clarence H. Clark, and board
OF directors embracing gentlemen of the largest
business experience, we are not surprised that it
Is one OF the most successful institutions of its
kind. 1t delivered its first policy August |, 1865;
and the policies issued since that time cover in.
sumnce to the amount of eight million dollars.

While the people Of some Of the towns on the
Marshfeld route are still debating, people resd-
ing on other lines from Montpelier to Wells River
are prospecting for their own interests OF this
fact the following letter Is proof It will be seen
that still another new line promises to be feasible ;
and, indeed, il the statement of Mr.. Downes is
correct, this line is but about 80 miles in length
that is about 3 miles shorter than the Marsh
field line. In reference to the proposed line from
Montpelier TO the point ON Waits River from
whence Mr.. Downes purposes to diyerge to Wells
River, we have only to say that two reconnoisan-
ces show that railroad IS practicable from Mont
pelier to and through the valley Of Waits River
to Bradford which line would Of course touch
the point named by Mr.. Downes If therefore he
is correct as to the pass from Waits to Wells
River, this new line is feasible aud entitled to
examination and consideration
