To-day's Tribune says that Mr.. Wilson
consents, we are sorry to say, that the
clause of his army bill reducing the forces
to $4,000 men shall be struck out, on the
argument of the southern senators that it
won't do to take any troops from the South
and that the western senators think that
additional forces are needed for the West To
fight the Indians. 1t does not appear to
have been suggested to the southern gentle
men that Il safer policy for their section
would be to rule by love rather than by
force and prescription. The western sena'
tors Whatsoever eventually what they dc
not appear now to know that it is cheaper
to feed than to fight the Indians. And as
the people have forgotten past anlmoSltle:
towards the rebels and heartily favor re-
deeming present promises to the Indians
we suggest that the further military occupa
ton of the South and All expensive war II
the West are not absolutely essential to the
