Tho New Indian Commission.

President Grant has given no surer sign OF
his desire and intention TO carry out his famous
motto-'Let US have peace"-than his recent
order regulating the management of Indian
affairs. The nine regulations of this order arc
all in conformity with the spirit of the eighth
of them, by which the officers of the govern
ment connected with the Indian service are
enjoined TO cooperate with the Commissioner
In the most earnest manner to the extent of
their proper powers in the general work of
civilizing the Indians, protecting them In their
legal rights and inducing them to become
Industrious citizens in permanent homes,
instead of following a rowing and savage lfe
Almost oil plans-including the horrible and
Infamous plan Of exterpination--have been
tried, and Intellectually tried, with the Indians
But the reservation plan, which has proved
signally successful with the Cherokees, Creeks
and Seminoles, justihes the hope that II will
not fail If honestly and systematically applied
to other Indian tribes. II will do some
thing towards wiping out the national dis
grace incurred by the treatment, equally
bungling and cruel, to which, for the most
part, the Indians have been hitherto subjected,
IL the principles and practice Of William Penn
shall be successfully revived. At all events
II is worth while 10 make the experiment Of the
The New York herald., 1869-06-09

Quaker plan Of controlling the red men. 1t
was "a happy thought" to place an Indian at
the head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Commissioner Parker, in his instructions to
the army officers assigned to duty as Indian
agents and superintendents, says :-"1t being
the wish of the government of the United States
to collect the Indians and locate them in per-
manent abodes upon reservations, and reason
able appropriations having been made to assist
them in sustaining themselves after such per-
manent location-by the pursuits of civilized
life, you are earnestly requested to use your
best endeavors in cooperating to advance this
humane and wise policy" 1t is devoutly to
be hoped that this new Indian policy will
prove to be no less successful than it is humane
and wise

MUsIc.-The Mayor Of Brooklyn complains
of twelve thousand dollars in the public school
expenses of that city as improperly spent in
music, and utters some particularly stupid
commonplace on the impropriety of teaching
music in the public schools, and in favor of
what he calls "a little infusion of old-fashioned
republican simplicity" Does the Mayor sup
pose that the children of the public schools are
taught music for twelve thousand dollars
year? The pianos that are bought with this
money and the teachers that are paid are
among the most efficient part of the school
machinery in developing the better part of the
intellect. The children are taught only 50
much Of music as gives a cadenced step in
marching together in and out of school, and
enables them to sing together some fine little
patriotic songs, and these things tighten study
and are better In the end than even much
arithmetic and stupendous smattering Of
geography.

The Result of the French Elections.

Inc hesult Of the French Elections.
Our latest news from Paris confirms what
we have said before in regard to the elections.
Out of Paris, and in the departments generally,
the government candidates have been success
full. Paris as whole has gone against the
government. 1t was not otherwise with Paris
on the occasion of the general elections in 1868.
Then as now the government was beaten in
every circumscription The only difference is
that in the present instance the opposition
elements are stronger. 1t is the general opinion
that the opposition will be numerically stronger
than it has been since Napoleon mounted the
French throne. 1t is not long since the oppo-
sition numbered but five members. Last year
the number was twenty-five. Now it is calcu-
lated that there will be not fewer than ninety
or ninety-four sturdy oppositionists whom M.
Rouher will have to face. 1t is certain that
when the next session of the Chambers is
opened Napoleon will be compelled to make
up his mind either to go forward and grant
further Parliamentary privileges, or to go
backward, arresting the progress of the popular
power by fresh coup detat. This formidable
opposition must in some way be quieted.
How will Napoleon do it? Will he silence
them by force or will he humor them by grant
ing further reform?

POLITICAL PROGRESS. BY the operation of
such principles as the niger voters in Wash
ington are bringing into use we may simplify
political calculations very much. Every man
differing with the mass would be knocked on
the head, and opinion be thereby kept all one
way in any given community. If man felt
an inclination to differ and cared about his
head he would leave. aud settle in some COM
munity of the other view. Thus we should be-
come organized, and there would be political
harmony everywhere. If communities came
in collision there might be some little civil
wars, but that would only be what they have
had in Africa these thousands Of years, and
the sun shines on Africa still, as hot as ever.

VINO Is WITH THE MAYoR?-Mayor Hall in
his message discourses with happy facility on
light, clean streets, law, finance, sewerage,
pavement, markets, and the whole range OF
document has spice and style. He urges
especially many excellent city improvements,
and lays down schedule Of street openings
that will finally have to be made, and can be
better made now than by and by. Who is
with him?
The New York herald., 1869-06-09

VINO DID IT.-When two small boys are
caught In peccado there is generally smart
discussion as to which one Is the real delin
quent. Johnny says that "Billy did it," aud
Billy says that Johnny did it," This Is the
present position Of grand international topic.
Jonathan has made great row about a certain
Alabama, and each Of two delinquents is
laying II on the other. Johnny Bull and Billy
Laird have II between them. 'Laird did IL, y
says Bull, and ''Bull did it," says Laird. II
Jonathan's grievance is, as 1t has been called,
a sentimental one, he must have ample salts
faction in seeing what contemplate little
sneaks these two fellows make Of themselves
with the attempts Of each to lay the blame on
the other.

TIE FIRST DIVORCE CASE IN South
CAROLINA. Southern papers are discussing
novelty in the shape Of the first divorce case In
South Carolina. The first divorce case In that
State was brought up in 1861, when South
Carolina attempted to dissolve her bonds of
union with the United States. But Judge
Uncle Samuel refused to issue decree Of
separation, and the State remains pretty much
as sbe stood de noUa, slightly damaged by the
weor and tear and expense Of the trial.

General HOar's OpiniOn-The
French Cable.
Attorney


Mr.. Attorney General Hoar has gone beyond
his official duty to aid telegraph monopoly
and to throw cold water on transoceanic tele-
graph enterprises. We do not say that he did
this designedly or from an improper motive,
for there is no evidence of that; but neverthe-
less the fact is apparent that he has exceeded
his duty, and that the effect will be to delay
or prevent the French cable and other trans
oceanic cables being laid, to the manifest ad-
vantage of existing monopolies. He has
the effect that foreign telegraph companies
cannot land cables on the shores of the United
States without the express permission of Con-
gress, and that no State of the Union has the
power over its own shores to grant such a
concession. No State, he holds, can concede
any franchise of this sort to foreigners, for the
sovereignty of the United States over terri
tory, by the law of nations, extends to at least
the distance of one marine league from its
shores. Then he maintains that the laying
and working Of telegraph cables comes
within the power of Congress to
regulate commerce with foreign nations.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Hoar's dictum, it is
q question whether the transmission of in
telligence by telegraph cables-the conversa-
ton, so to speak, between people of different
countries-comes under the head of commerce.
Suppose the people Of Canada and the State Of
New York chose to hold speaking intercourse
across the Niagara river, If their voices could
reach or they were to use speaking trumpets,
could the federal government stop them till a
special act of Congress for that purpose were
obtained? viii any one admit such an alb
surdity? Yet what is the difference between
communicating in this way and the transmits
sion Of thought by telegraph cables2 1t does
not seem to us that this Is commerce in the
sense of the constitution or that Congress has
the power alone to regulate 1t. splitting
lawyers like Mr.. Hoar are too apt to lose sight
of great and general principles and to decide
wrong. But there was no necessity for such
an opinion at all. The Attorney General is
not required to answer the questions of letter
writer's or private individuals. His duty is
simply to give an opinion when called upon by
the administration as one of the branches of
the government, and to defend, when brought
before him officially, the constitution and laws
of the United States. BY thus exceeding his
duty he has suffered himself to be the tool of
monopolists and may deprive the people of
this country of the advantages Of more ocean
telegraphs and healthy rivalry. His dictum,
however, is not law, and we hope the French
cable company or any other will go on with
the work and test the question in practical
manner.

QUALIFIED SUPFRAeE.-Nigger suffrage In
Washington Is free Of the odious qualifications
that prevail In certain of the Northern States,
but has one not down in the law. The privi-
lcge Of voting Is qualified by the high pro-
liability that man will have his throat cut II
he opposes the majority. This consolidates
the vote and makes unanimity of sentiment
very advantageous in politics.
The New York herald., 1869-06-09

ONE POINT LEFT OUT.-All that was want
ing to the scene In Washington around the
nigger fights and bonflres was that the tri-
umphant niggers should have eaten the man
that was killed. No doubt some undertaken
carried him away prematurely.
The New York herald., 1869-06-09

"MoRALLY CONVICTED. D."-The Mayors refe-
renee TO commissioner morally convicted Of
taking bribe ought to call out Fire Commits
sioner Wilson. The Commissioner was sued
by man for the recovery Of a sum Of money
given, as alleged, to secure the man position.
Upon the termination of that suit the man
was prosecuted for perjury in having sworn
that, he gave the money as above but was
declared mot guilty" Of the perjury by q
jury. That verdict justines the Mayors words.
The New York herald., 1869-06-09

BRooKLYN GRows.-The measure OF her
growth as a city may be seen in some points
of detail in her expenditures. This year it
costs her seven hundred and forty-two thou
sand dollars for her parks-to improve them,
keep them in order and pay the interest
on the debt incurred in their purchase.
''This amount" says the Mayor, sis one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars more
than was raised by tax only ten years ago,
to pay for gas, maintain the police, re-
pairing and cleaning streets, salaries of public
officers, and all other city expenses whatever. "
The New York herald., 1869-06-09

THE GREAT PROBLEM for the city authori-
ties to solve, according to the Mayor, is chow,
towards nightfall, to afford two hundred thou
sand people an easy and rapid access to their
homes from their places of toll and business"
The solution is declared 10 lie In three rail-
roads the whole length of the island; no
enterprise to be preferred for any other reason
than Its feasibility. This Is the popular iuds-
ment also.

THE PRINTERS CONVENTION ON Color
The Printers National Convention at Albany,
luton for abolishing all distinctions of race
and color in the craft. This means
that the distinction of color is to
be enforced as an objection to the black
man, and as it is with the printers SO it will be
with all the other Trades Unions. They will
all be arrayed against negro equality in their
workshops, and the admiaistration before long
will hear from them at the polls.
