GENERAL SHERIDAN was not deferred from
the prosecution of his campaign against tho
predatory Indian tribes of the Plains by thu
approach Of winter, and he seems equally do.
termined TO prevent the dusky warriors from
outwittipg him by the duplicity for which they
are scarcely less famous than their barbarty.
He refuses to be deceived by hypocritioal pro-
fessions of friendship, and will be content with
nothing less than the surrender OF the entire
bands engaged in the recent hoAtilties, 30 that
the guilty may be punished and the innocent
protected. The alternative is such an assault
on their camps and villages as was recently
made by General Custer. The Government
has in many cases protected the women, chill
dren, and old men OF tribes whose warriors were
waging relentless war against American oti-
zens. No better mode Of encouraging Indian
raids could well be devised. General sheri-
dan acts on the principle that the ssvages
who 60 to war must be made to feel that they
stake not only their own existence, but the
welfare Of those who are near and dear to
them, and that they must either maintain
peace In good faith or encounter perils as
numerous and painful as those they seek to
infict on frontier settlements. This policy
will readily be comprehended by the Indians
and they will speedily learn to fear and respect
it. Their rude natures can only be con
trolled by force, applied in the most impress
sive and unmistakeable manner, and Sheridan's s
logic, enforced, when necessary, by broad
swords, bayonets, and bullets, will prove
more convincing than the arguments or tri-
butes of q host of peace commissioners.

some coordinate branch OF the Government
would be more regardful Of the public In
terests. From the South, especially, we fear
that the new loyal Senators and Representa-
tives will present host of claims for dam
ages inflicted on so-called loyal citizens
during the war, and an infinite variety OF
applications for relief II is doubtless true
that there are cases of great Individual hard
ship, and it is barely possible that in some
instances the nation should extend fnanola
relief; but IL is evident, on the other hand,
that IL the door is now fairly opened for the
admission of claims for damages inflicted by
the Union armies in the rebellious States
during the war, Congress will speedily be be-
sieged by applicants for thousands Of millions
Of dollars. The only safe rule is to reject all
applications of this nature, and the only true
method for restoring Southern prosperity is
that pointed out by General Grant. He truly
declared that Northern men with ample capt
tai are willing and able to make a garden OF
the South, but that the old feelings of Rebel
hostility practically exclude Northern men in
many sections from participation in the cult
vation of Southern plantations, and that there
is ga general tendency to secure the services
Of the negro without prompt and adequate
compensation" which prevents the freedmen
from laboring with hearty goodwill. In his
terse language, "nothing remains but to set
the negroes to work and to invite and well
come Northern men," If, by any legislative
or executive action, or any sincere change OF
the prevailing sentiment of the South, loyal
citizens could enjoy in the seeding States the
same degree Of freedom and protection to life
and property which is accorded in all the
Northern Commonweslths, the wounds of the
war would speedily be healed. The enhance
ment of the value Of Southern real estate
would of itself speedily compensate Southern
capitalists for their losses during and subss-
quent to the late conflict, and the productive
ness of Southern soil, under properly applied
free-labor system, with small farms substi-
tuted for unwieldy plantations, would be inf
nitely increase d.

NEW EVIDENCES have recently been given
of the hardships and suhsrings of the seces-
sion emigrants to Brazil. The Jealous advo-
Gates of the Confederacy who were so enamored
with its charms as to 'leave their country for
their oountrys good" rather than acknow-
ledge the supremacy of the banner of the stars
and stripes, have all found their proposed new
homes infinitely less attractive than their
native land, despite the terrors of reconstruc-
ton, the triumph of the national cause, and
the establishment of negro suffrage. They are
forced to confess that in the United States they
are only "victims Of oppression" in Pick
wickian sense, while their residence abroad
was embittered with real sufferings.

Report of tho Special Commissioners of
Revenue.
On our first page will be found the report of
Hon. David A. Wells, Special Commissioner OF
Revenue, addressed to the Secretary of the
Treasury, and laid before the House of Repre-
sentatives to-day. The Commissioner states
that he does not present the results of his in
vestigations with view of comparing any
particular theories, but rather of determining
through the collection of data what policy
of legislation is likely to produce the most sd-
vantsgeOus results.
While the country is rapidly recovering
from the effects of war, there are also agen-
cies which tend to arrest national develop
ment, and which foster speculation, idleness,
and extravaganza. With regard to the lead
ing elements of national wealth, the Commits
missioner states that from the 1st Of July to
the 1st of December, 1868, about 100000
natives of foreign countries have sought
their home in the United
States, and it is estimated that
these immigrants bring with them on an
average of about $50 per head. The general
increase Of the products of domestic industry
is also taken into consideration, and this in
crease has been greater than the legitimate in
crease to be expected from the normal in
crease of wealth and population. During the
ten years from 1858 to 1868 the increase OF
tonnage on the railroads has been at the rate
Of sixteen times greater than the increase of
population.
The Commissioner does not think, with the
exception of the liberal policy adopted with
regard to the disposition Of the public lands,
that legislation has done much to bring about
the results he indicates and that the prosperity
of the country is due to influences entirely in
dependent of the action of Congress.
With regard to the retarding influences,
Mr.. Wells mentions an irredeemable paper
currency as tending to destroy all profitable
commercial relations with foreign countries,
and also the varying forms Of taxation which
now exist in the United States. The Com
missioner thinks that the internal revenue
system as it now stands is capable OF yielding
the maximum of revenue with the minimum
OF disturbance to the wealth producing ele-
ments of the country. These and number
of other points are taken up and discussed il
detail, and we commend the report to oui
readers as containing matter worthy Of earnest
consideration.

Philosophy on skates.

DURING Horace Greeleys recent visit to the
Canadians, a tremendous sensation was kicked
up by getting that philosophical individual
upon pair of skates. Great crowds of people
focked to the Montreal Rink to witness the
novel spectacle of race between the Mayor
of the city and the great man Of the Tribune.
"Out Of respect to his distinguished guest"
says writer who describes the scene, "the
Mayor made a studied effort to fall behind his
competitor near the end Of each heat. By
this rare act of courtesy the Tribune phileso-
pher won three straight heats, and was de-
clared the victor amid shouts OF applause and
a perfect deluge of bouquets" 1t seems that
hot-house flowers are held at high figure in
Montreal, but so anxious were the people of
that city to do honor to Mr.. Greeley, and
so ignorant of his tastes were they,
that they actually invested in three bushels
Of nosegays, all Of which were hurled at the
head of their illustrious guest. One OF the
bouquets, we are informed, fell in front OF the
philosophical skater and became entangled In
some Of his undertrappings-probably In his
boot-straps, which, as all the world knows,
are always kept in full view of the world-the
consequence being that Mr.. Greeley suddenly
measured his full length upon the Toe. Hap
PLY, the philosopher sustained no bodily In
jury, but his modification was intense when

folly OF continued resistance to the recenstruc-

initiatory steps for the readmission Of the Old

only ipjure themselves, and they have learned
that the business of Congress is less OBJ
struoted by the absence of Senators and Re-

Virginia by the lack of representation.

General Grant and the Mississippi
Levees.
THR reported conversation Of General Grant
with an advocate of a national endorsement of
Louisiana bonds for the improvement of the
levees on the lower Mississippi, affords a
cheering indication of the policy Of the incOm-
ing administration. The President elect is
evidently deeply impressed with the necessity
of keeping down the national expenditures,
and disposed to turn deaf ear to the advO-
oates of schemes for draining the Treasury.
The ingenuity displayed in devising pretexts
for fastening additional burdens upon the
American people is really marvellous, and
many Senators and Representatives are en-
tirely too ready to vote for appropriations
which they would scarcely dare to approve II
the responsibility of extravaganza was not
shared nv their associates, and II they did not
su!et their OOnscieuces with the hope that
