EDITORS REPUBLICAN: 1t is an every
day occurrence to hear old men remark
that they have never witnessed an Au-
tumn of more beautiful weather. Ger
tainly we could not reasonably ask for
more favorable season, as the past
week has been more like the midst of
Spring time than the beginning Of bleak
December.
4 great many other things besides
true love do not always run smooth.

the boys and make Sunday school cele-
brations attractive. The big checkered
balloon didn't go up but the probabili-
ties are that the dashing Joseph will.

Mr.. Thos. Reed, who recently took
possession of the St. Cloud, has wisely
come to the conclusion that keeping a
hotel is not his forte, and have no doubt
that the general public will readily con-

most splendidly located for transient OF
local custom, is now offered for sale BY
the owner, a farmer near town.

THE WAR.

Dispatches from Tours on Friday
say that on Thursday sanguinary
battle was fought in Front of Paris.
General Drucot with 100000
men, made a grand sortie from that
city, and crossed the river Marine.
The movement was completely sue
cessfully. On the other hand a dis
patch from Versailles, from Prussian
sources, announces that a lively fire
was kept up during the whole OF
Tuesday night from the forts around
Paris, and that on Wednesday morn
ing the garrison made sorties at sew
eral points on the Seine and Marne.
The Prussian positions were attack
ed at eleven O'Clock IN the morning,
and n sanguinary battle took place,
in which the Wurtemburg troops
were mainly engaged, supported by
a portion of the Twelfth, Second,
and Seventh corps. The fighting
continued until night, the French
being everywhere repulsed. The
fighting was mostly done on the
east and southeast of Paris. Gam.
beta announces that the army of the
Loire has successfully resisted an
attack on the right and left wings
and is now moving forward. He al
so gives as a result of these sorties
around Paris, the evacuation of Am
lens, by the Prusians, who hastened
to support the Germans around Par
is. A French dispatch from Lille
of later date, denies the evacuation
ofAmiens by the Germans, and says
German force has entered Albert
eighteen miles from Amiens on the
road to Arras and Lille. A private
cable dispatch received at New Yorl
on Saturday says that by sitting s
vast number of confused and contra
dictory dispatches received at Lon
don up to late hour that morning
the fact is undeniable that the
French forces on Friday actually
won victory near Orleans, but the
Germans certainly repulsed the at
tack before Paris. The French army
have not affected a junction with
Trochu as reported.

ATLANTIC CABLES.

The old Atlantic cables have
ceased to transmit news either way
for some reason or other. All the
news we get now, comes over the
French cable which also works very
badly. For this reason it is very
difficult to get correct reports from
the seat of war.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

Always favoring practical reforms, L respect
fully direct your attention to one abuse of long
standing which would like to see removed by
this Congress. 1t is a reform in the Civil Ser
the mere fixing Of the tenure of Office of clerks
and employees, who do not require the advice
and consent of the Senate to make their ap-
pointments complete. / would have it govern
not the tenure but the manner of making all
appointments. There is no duty which so much
embarrasses theExecutive and heads ofdepart-
ments as that of appointments, nor is there any
such arduous or thankless labor imposed on
Senators and Representatives as that of finding
places for constituents. The present system
does not secure the best men, and often not even
fit men for public place. The elevation and
publication of the civil service of the Govern
ment will be hailed with approval by the whole
people of the United States.

REFORM IN THE MANAGEMENT OF INDIAN
Affairs.


Reform in the management of Indian Affairs
has received the special attention of the Ad-
ministration from its Inauguration to the pres
ent day. The experiment of making it a mis-
sionary work was tried with a few agencies
given to the denomination of Friends, and has
been found to work most advantageously. All
agencies and superintendencies not so disposed
of were given to officers of the army. The act
of Congress reducing the army renders army
officers ineligible for civil positions. The In
dian agencies being civil offices, determined
to give all the agencies to such religious denom-
nations as had heretofore established missions
among the Indians, and perhaps to some other
denominations who would undertake the work
on the same terms, j. G., as missionary work.
The societies selected are allowed to name their
own agents, subject to the approval of the Ex-
ecutive, and are expected to watch over them
and aid them as missionaries and Christians
add eivilize the Indian, and to train him in the
arts of peace. The Government watches over
the official acts of these agents, and requires of
them as strict an accountability as ifthey were
appointed in the regular manner. / entertain
the confident hope that the policy now pursued
will in few years bring all the Indians upon
reservations, where they will live in houses,
have school houses and churches, will be pur-
suing peaceful and self-sustaining avocations,
and where they may be visited by the law
abiding white man with the same impunity
that he now visits the civilized white settle
ments. call your special attention to the re-
port of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs for
full information on this subject
Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes Co., O. [Ohio]) 1870-1895, 1870-12-08

the corresponding months of last
year. The estimates for the current
year were 2S,205,67S 81; those for
next year are $20,6S3, 3,317, with
$95, 100 additional for temporary
and permanent improvements.
These estimates are made closely for
the most economical maintenance of
the naval establishment as it now is,
without much in the nature of per-
msnent improvement. The appro-
priation made for the last and cur
rent years were evidently intended
by Congress, and are sufficient only
to keep the navy on its present foot
ing, the repairing and refitting of
our old ships. This policy must of
course gradually but surely destroy
the navy, and it is in itself far from
economical, as each year that it is
pursued the necessity for more re-
pairs in ships and navy yards be-
come more imperative and more
costly, and our current expenses are
actually increased for the mere re-
pairs of ships, many of which must
soon be unseaworthy and useless.
1 hope, during the present session
of Congress, to be able to submit to
it plan by which naval vessels can
be built and repairs made with great
saving upon the present cost. 1t
can hardly be wise craftsmanship in
government which represents a
country with over five thousand
miles of coast line on both oceans,
exclusive of Alaska, and containing
forty millions of progressive people,
with relations of every nature with
almost every foreign country, to rest
with such inadequate means of en-
forcing any foreign policy, either of
protection or redress. Separated
by the ocean from the nations of the
Eastern Continent, our navy is our
only means of direct protection to
our citizens abroad, or for the en-
forcement of any foreign policy.
| THE POSTAL SERVICE.
The accompanying report of the
Postmaster General shows a most
satisfactory working of that depart
ment with the. adoption of the rec
ommendation contained therein, par
ticularly these relating to reform
in the franking privileges and the
adoption of correspondence cards, a
self-sustaining postal system may
speedily be looked for, and at no
distant day a further reduction of
the rate of postage be attained.
I recommend the authorization
by Congress, to the Postmaster Gen
eral and Attorney General to issue
all commissions to officials appoint
ed through their respective depart
ments. At present these commits
sions, where appointments are made,
are issued by the State Department.
The law in all the departments of
Government except those of the
Postoffice and of Justice authorizes
each to issue its own commissions.

THE ARMY.

Under the act of Congress of the
18th day of July, 1870, the army has
gradually been reduced, so that on
the first of January, 1871, the num-
ber of commissioned officers and
men will not exceed the number
contemplated by law. The War De-
partment building is an old struc-
ture, not fire proof, and entirely in
adequate in dimensions to our pres
ent wants. Many thousands of dol
lars are now paid annually for rent
of private buildings to accommo-
date the various Bureaus of the De-
partment. 1 recommend an appro-
priation for new War Department
building suited to the present and
growing wants of the nation. The
report of the Secretary of War shows
very satisfactory reduction in the
expenses of the army for the last
fiscal year. For details you are re-
ferred to his accompanying report.
THE NAVY DEPARTMENT,
The expenses of the navy for the
whole of the last year, i. e., from
December, 1869, the date of the last
report, are less than nineteen mill
ion dollars, or about one million less
than they were the previous year.
The expenses of the Navy Depart
ment in this fiscal year since July
lst shows, for the five months, de-
crease of over two million four hun
dred thousand dollars from those of

RELOCATION OF OUR NORTHWESTERN
BOUNDARY LINE.

In April last while engaged in To-
eating a military reservation near
Pembina, a corps of engineers dis
coyered that the commonly received
boundary line between the United
States and the British possessions
at that place is about fifty-seven
hundred feet south of the true posi-
ton of the zenith parallel, and that
the line, when on what is now sup
posed to be the true position of that
para..lal. would leave the fort of the
Hudson Bay Company at Pembina
within the territory of the United
States. This information being
communicated to the British Gov
ernment. l was requested to con.

THE yENEZUELAND FUND.

The sense Of Congress is desired
as early as may be convenient upon
the proceedings of the Commission
on claims against Venezuela and
commented on in the messages of
March 4, 1869, March 1st, 1870, and
March 81, 1870. 1t has not been
deemed advisable to distribute any
of the money which has been re-
ceived from that Government until
Congress shall have acted upon the
subject.

are SIS, ,244, 346 OF less than for the
current one, but exceed the appro-

estimate, however, is included $22,-

fore begun under Congressional pro-
vision. and of which only so much
