another It has been conclusively proved
over and over again, that hostilties are
nearly always brought about by white
aggressors, who manage to secure the
assistance of the army, and thus effect their
own purposes. We hold that our army IS
wrongly employed when used to support the
aggressions and schemes of spectators ana
spectators. We know that its employment IN
this way s dreadfully costly business to inc
tax-paying people of the country. Gen. Parker
lately gave his opinion that the tireatehe"
war with the Sioux, which we now nope may
he averted, would be Of indefinite uui"
ton, and he estimated its cost at seNoi"i
millions of dollars a month. III ''iiS war
under existing circumstances, may DE aVoiue"
there is ground for believing that mos. vi
our Indian wars might be likewise avOldeu'
Ill. The American people are III 1aVor oi
Justice and fair dealing with the inui'ns'
They have rights as well az the other lnhaDiIilitS
of the limited States, and the Government Is
bound to nrotect them, as well as others, from
wrong. If we enter into negotiations VIII"
them. we should not deal frauduientiy' Ii We
make treaties with them. we should see lliat
or roonIe do not violate their terms. We
often hear it said that "fair play" mas no
meaning TO Indians, but we know that this
remark il generally made by those who have
had occasion to learn that "fOul play mas q
very serious meaning to Indians; and we nave
stronger proof, moreover, than is contained IN
anybody's opinion that some Indians under
stand the value of fair play a great deal
better than some white men. Take a case In
point: A few weeks ago, the Big Horn expe-
diton was organized at Cheyenne for the
purpose of occupying a region whose possession
was guaranteed to the Sioux last year by
special negotiation. The Sioux knew that this
expedition was in violation of treaty agree
ment, and consequently made ready to fight
the flibusters. At this moment the Govern
mcnt took steps to prevent the starting OF the
expedition, and Immediately we hear that some
of the Sioux Chiefs have left for Washington
TO arrange matters and bring the difficulty to
peaceable settlement. Now, on which side was
the foul play in this case, and which side showed
the first desire for fair play3
We do not by any means hold that the In
dian tribes are to be permitted to retain eX-
elusive possession forever of the vast spaces
over which they roam on the Western Plains.
But neither do we believe that they should be
massacred or defrauded. There is a practical
and feasible policy in regard to the Indians,
which is also policy Of justice and hu-
manity. We believe that it is partially indi-
Gated in the pacific measures which President
Grant began to carry ont last year, and in the
dealings of our Government with the civilized
tribes inhabitng the Indian Territory west OF
the State of Arkansas. Let us, at all events,
try to bring to an end the atrociOus policy of
butchery and swindng which has so long
disgraced our escutcheon and dishonored our
Christianity.

1t is rather divcrting to read in Chicago
newspaper that the Fenians of that city are III
excellent spirits, and that the news OF tne
capture of Gen. O'Neil will not cheek tlie'i
" Operations nor diminish their ardor." We
do not see why they should be in the least uc-
pressed by the captivity of the warrior; On
the contrary, we fancy that, if we were feni-
ans the effect upon us would Dc r'tner eA-
hilarating than otherwise. lnstead Oh uiSpuIS-
ing 100000 to get the 0'Neil out OF the Gala
boosc. os tbe Fenian Phadelphans propose TO
do. our opinion is that it would be better to pay
100000 to keep him where he is-permtting
him of course. TO send out proclamations, pro-
nunciamentos, orations, general orders, exhor-
totions. and appeals without stint-everything
and anything, in short except plans of cam
paigns, which are evidently not this noble
Generals forte.

Does the House mean to lcgalize gambling
"such as faro rogue ct noir, uingt ct an, &c," by
adopting the suggestion of the California
member taxing each table thus used $1,000
Certainly the enforcement of tax on any
brapch of business is recognition OF the
legality of such business. Or does the House
believe such tax will prove prohibitoryY 1t
is bad enough to have municipal authorities
like those of New-Orleans licensing gambling.
The public sentiment will revolt against the
mere contemplation of such an enormity by
the National Government.
New-York tribune., 1870-05-30

Hon Joshua Hill is not the only enemy who
frcts the soul of Gov. Bullock of Georgia.
One n. l.. Angler, who signs himself Treasurer
of the same State, is evidently bent on making
the State Capital as uncomfortable to the Gov
ernOr as Mr.. Hill has sought to make the Ma
tional Capital and investigations of his Otli-
cial conduct proceed in the State Legislature as
well as the National Congress. The charges of
Treasurer Angler, which the Legislature Is to
examine, and the truth of which is yet to be estab
lished, are embraced in report ordered by the
Georgia Legislature and are briefly stated else
where. They imply that Gov. Bullock has spent
at least $5j,OOO of the States money without
warrant of law, "hobnobbing and lobbying
"with Congress and giving expensive enter
"tainments, rivaling princely extravaganza"
There are other not less explicit statements,
made in language betraying less personal ami
mostly, which paint the Governor as another
Prince Erie with the earnings of the Western
and Atlantic Railroad to draw upon. The
statement of the Treasurer cites the instances
of violation and the laws violated, and is ex-
plicit enough in all reason. The Legislature
cannot complain, as one of the Senate Com
mittee did, that the charges are not definite
enough, and the Legislators will doubtless ar
rive lat more positive conclusion than the
Senators did.
New-York tribune., 1870-05-30

From the proclamation of the Executive
Council of the Fenian Brotherhood" when
is published elsewhere, we are to infer that
failure was not the greatest of the crimes OF
the leaders of the late expedition. 1t seems
that they.have misappropriated, against all adj
vice and authority, the funds of the organHa-
ton. which too willing and Over-crcdulouS
workingmen and women of the Irish race have
been deluded into contributing. But do not
those who announce that the work of orSani-
zation for the deliverance of Ireland is not to
be ignored or abandoned conspire to continue
the delusiOn?

TIE DEMOCRACY on NATURALIZATION.

TIE DEMOCRACY on NATURALIIiTION
The Democratic papers are not only un-
happy but belligerent over the Naturalization
law adopted by Congress, stigmatizing 1t as
gross outrage upon the rights of States, and,
what touches them more nearly, step that
will overthrow the ascendency of their party.
Carefully keeping out of sight the earliest
provisions of the COnstitution-that venerable
document to which they so often appeal as
being violated by recent lcgiSlation-they seek
TO make the people believe that any inter
ference with State action in the naturalization
of aliens is an act of atrocous usurpation.
Let lis suggest to these irate partisans a study
of section eight of the First Article of the
original Constitution-the section defining the
powers of Congress. We copy:
SECTION 8. The Congress shall have power:
4 To establish a uniform rate Of naturalization, and
uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout
the United States.
H. To make all lars cLc shall be necessary and proper
far cor,7Gng fRt0 erecuti0 the foregoing pOCerS and oil
other poweS Uested by GiiS Constitution ia the Government
offhe United States IN any Department or officer hereo
The naturalization of aliens by State author
ity has been permitted only by Congress, just
as many other acts have been permitted.
But if States only have this power, then the
logical deduction from the language of the
whole section is that States only can declare
war, maintain armies and navies, coin money,
regulate commerce, establish pOst-Otiices fix
uniform bankrupt laws, and so on. These
patrons OF McCunn's naturalization mill know
very well that they speak falsely when they
say Congress has IO power over the making
of citizens. They attempt a petty deception
that cannot affect any intelligent person, but
hone to impress their blindfoldcd fOreign-bo
voters with the idea that a Republican
Congress is wreaking vengeance upon
them for voting early and often for the
Democracy And they urgently ask. "Dem-
"ocrats of the Empire State, will you
"submit to these Outrages?" We venture
to answer, "Thcy will; and every
honest Democrat, who has time and again
found his vote neutralized by the fraudulent
"balots of men who vote twice and thrice
"when they had not shadow of right to vote
"at all, will sustain the law and rejoice in its
"existence." The gamblers in dead mems nat
uralzation papers, the McCunns and Tweeds
who make our elections a farce, are naturally
indignant, for they know that this is no waste
paper law but that, with its accompanying
election law, it will be carried out to the let
ter They know that even if the worst of
their followers are restricted to single vote,
the votes of honest men will largely Outnum-
Der them. The Belshazzar of Tammany sees
the Handwriting on the Wall, and his knees
grow weak his kingdom, weighed in the bal
ances and found wanting is doomed.

We have tried hard to get the official returns
of the Judicial Election in Kings County, but
our reporters cannot even see the returns.
The law requires the Supervisors to meet on
the first Tuesday after election, to canvass the
votes Even New-York City, usually the last
of all the State by ten days, finished last
Thursday Where are the Kings County re-
turns7 There can be but one reason for keep
ing them back. A vast amount of money has
been put up by the jubilant Democracy on
their majority in the State - $4,000 being a
favorite figure. The argus has 1860 ma
jorty without Essex, Kings, New-York and
st. Lawrence. 1t claims 100 in Essex. Adding
to this New-York and st. Lawrence, of which
we have the official figures, the majority for
Church-Kings only left QUITS 1898. 1t is
clear that the Democratic officers of Kings
County are holding back their returns so as to
be sure to make up over $4,000 majority, and
perhaps $1,000, if the money at stake shall
demand as much.
New-York tribune., 1870-05-30

The Fenians having now failed for the sec
ond time, it is to be hoped their leaders Will
not continue 10y ill-advised and illegal efforts
20 bring contempt upon the race which they
claim to represent. The absurd failures and
repeated quarIels of this organization have
done incalculable injury to the Irish race by
creating and in part justifying the opinion
that Irisbmen cannot govern themselves, and
are therefore unfit to have an independent
Government of their own. 1t is not general
idea in the American mind, but do not the
Fenians suspect that it is likely to be made
New-York tribune., 1870-05-30

Mr.. Senator Chandler has discovered a new
and original argument in favor OF the annex
alton of San Domingo. He believes that 1t
would incidentally lead TO the absorption OF
the other West Indies, which we take to be
probable, and, further and more important,
the early restoration of American shipping ana
commerce. which to our mind is NOT so clear
At least, the connection between the cause
and effect is not made apparent in the buef
synopsis which is sent us Of Mr. Chambers
speech on matters generally, from shlp-buIld-
ing and annexation to diplomatic dinners.

The bill granting pensions to the veterans
of 1912 will add, we ere told, fully 2OOOO names
TO the pension roll, and cost the Government
annually nearly S2,OOCOOO. These facts should
not serve, however, to defeat the bill, as the
House Committee seems TO fear they may,
when it comes before the Senate. In matter
of this kind justice, not economy, Is the first
virtue TO be DISPLAYED.

hill reducing taxation, on Saturday, followed
the advice of the Committee on Banking, and
fixed the tax on all stock gambling operations
in either gold or stocks, wherein New orKelS
are wont to indulge, at double the present

this, and that is that the tax Is not heavy
enough to prove prOhibitOry.

The Anniversary Week being over in Boston,
the newspapers report that the short season
has been rather dull one, Notwithstanding
the unusually considerate behavior of the
weather. The old enthusiasm which once
marked these annual gatherings has, for
some sufficient reason, disappeared; and what
that reason is can only be cOnjectured. Pos
sibly it may be found in kind of safety ex-
perienced by those who have so long listened
to the same sort of speeches; have attended
the ea-drinkings of which one is exactly like
another and have been compelled to swallow
more annual reports, mostly briStling with
figures, than they could digest. A good steady
going charitable cause hardly needs jubilee
to keep it moving; and there is no great ques-
ton of moral reform which is at present agi-
tating even New England, the fruitful parent
of controversy.
