INDIAN AFFAIRS.

Reform in the management of Indian
affairs has received the special attention
of the administration from its Inaugural
ton to the present day. The experiment
of making it a missionary work was tried
with a few agencies given to the denom-
nation ofFricnds, and has been found to
work most advantageously. All agencies
and superintendent not so disposed
of were given to officers of the army.
The act of Congress regulating the army
renders army officers ineligible for civil
positions Indian Agencies being civil
offices, determined to give all The agcn
cics to such religious denominations as
had heretofore established missionaries
among the Indians, and perhaps to some
other denominations who would under
take the work on the same terms, that is,
as n missionary work. The societies Sc
lected are allowed to name their own
agents, subject to the approval OF the ex-
ecutivc, and arc expected to M"..ch over
them and aid the Indians. to christianize
and civilize them, and to train them in
watches over their official acts, and re-
quires of thom as strict an accountability
as if they were appointed in any other
manner l entertain the confident hope
that the policy now pursued will in a few
years bring all the Indians on reserva-
tions, where they will live in houses, have
school houses and churches. and pursue
peaceful and selfsustaining avocations,
and where they may be visited by the
law obcying white man with the same
impunity that he now visits the civilized
white settlements. l call your attention
to the report Of the Commissioner Of In
dian Affairs for full information on this
subject.

TIE IDEAL, OF A NATIONAL GOVERNMENT.
In conclusion would sum up the
policy of the administration to be-a
thorough enforcement of every law
faithful collection of the taxes economy
in the disbursement of the same;
prompt payment Of the debt of the
nation a reduction of taxes as rapidly
as the requirements of the country will
admit-the reduction of taxation and
the tariff to be so arranged as to afford
the greatest relief to the greatest num-
Der honest and fair dealings with all
other nations to the end that war, with
all its blighting consequences may be
avoided--but without surrendering any
right or obligation due to the United
States reform in the Indians, and in
the whole civil service of the country;
and finally the securing Of pure, un-
trammelled ballet, SO that every man
entitled to east a vote may do so just
once at each lection. without fear of
molcstation or prescription on account
of his political faith, nativity. or color.

TAKE MY HAND, PAPA.--In the dead OF
night, am frequently wakened by lit
tie hand stealing out frcn the crib by my
side, with the pleading cry: Please take
my band, papa!'
Instantly the little boys hand is grasp
cd, his fears vanish, and soothed by the
consciousness of his fathers presence he
falls into sweet sleep again.
We commend this lesson Of simple,
flial faith and trust to the anxious, sor.
rowing ones, that are found in almost
every household. Stretch forth your
hand, stricken mourner, although you
may be in tho deepest darkness and
gloom, and fear and anxious suspense
may cloud your weary pathway, and that
very act will reveal the presence ofa low.
ing compassionate Father, and give you
the peace that passeth all understanding.
The darkness may not pass away al
once, night may sill enfold you in its EN-.
brace, but its terrors will be dissipated,
its gloom and sadness fee away, and in
the simple grasp OF the Fathers hand
sweet peace will be given, and you will
rest securely. knowing that the "morn'
ing cometh."
