To-day's Tribune says: Mr. Wilson
consents, we are sorry to see,
that the clause of his army bill re.
ducing The forces to $500 men shall
be struck out on the argument Of
Southern Senators, that It won't do
to take any troops from the South !;
and that Of Western Senators, that
additional forces were needed In
the West to fight the Indians. II
does not appear TO have been sug-
gested TO the Southern gentlemen |
that safer policy for their section |
would be TO rule by love and am-
nesty rather than fear and proscrip-
ton. The Western Senators will
discover eventually what they do
not appear now TO know, that it is
cheaper to feed than to fight In-
dians, and as the people have for
gotten past animOsi.ies towards the |
rebels and heartily favor redeeming
present promises to the Indians, we |
suggest that the further military |
occupation OF the South, and an !
expensive war in the West are not
absolutely essential to the we'll do.
