INDIANS AND REsERvArIoNs.--Here is
Gen. Sheridan's latest utterance on the In
dian question: The reservation system is
the onl y one offering any prospect Of success
but ali experience has shown that the wild
Indian will not adopt it until he is forced to
do so. All the northern Pacific coast had to
be subdued and forced on to the reservations,
which was accomplished between the years $3.50
and 1860; then peace ensued. Latterly the
same policy has been pursued in regard to
the Camanohes, Kiowas, Cheyennes and Ar
rapahoes. After the wild Indians are put
upon the reservations, a strong military force
will have to BIO kept there to protect the
agents and others required in the work OF
cultivation, and also for the subordination oil
the Indians and their protection against the
encroachments of the white settlers, who other
wise would take possession of their lands"

Nor YET SETTLKD.-lt is doubtless a fact that
but very few towns have voted instructions to
their delegates to the Constitutional Convention,
and that 10 many cases not even the views of can
didates were known, and much less was any deh-
mite expression of the popular mind madei nei-
thor are the opinions of the delegates in all cases
so definitely formed that some are not liable to
change AFTER the assembling of that body. Such
being the circumstances of the case, It will be
quite proper that the public journals should con-
tnue to discuss the merits Of the proposed amend
ments till they are passed upon by the honorable
Convention, which will meet June 9Th for that
special purpose.
with perhaps the possible exception ofthe first OF
these proposed amendments, each one involves prin-
cipes which will materially affect the Interests, and
eventually, perhaps, the views of the people re-
latiye to popular governments. II our citizens
are not willing to part with much of their pres
ent influence over their Legislators, their Judges
and Governors, directly in the frequency OF cleo
tons, and are not DESTROYS to abrogate the Coun-
ell whose special duties are to look after the
90 freedom of the commonwealth, and improving,
il need be, its written Constitution, we trust q
people jealous of its liberty will not yet dismiss all
interest or attention to the action Of the approach
ing Convention The decisions of the coming
month will be important

A society, already counting more than
100 members, has been formed in Paris, pledg-
ing them selves not to be buried after death,
but to bequeath their bodies for dissection, so
as to aid the science of anatomy as much as
possible. They also hope thus ultimately to
eradicate the prejudice against dissection.

II The project Of holding Convention Of the
Listers of the State at Montpelier sometime this
spring. has been abandoned, for the reason that
80 little interest is manifested in the subject by
the different towns in the State Without a

be barren of good results.

WArERnrRY.-Great and solemn is the respon-
-ibiity Of the Christian minister and no marvel
that thousands Of the true successors Of the great
Apostle to the Gentes, under sense Of its
mighty weight, should exclaim, " Who is suIi-
cent for these thngs?" The responsibility of
standing between the living and the dead, 10 guide
the weary or bewldercd traveller n the heavenly
home, is the calling and work Of the Christian
minister Who can fully comprehend its magui-
tude and Importance
The regulations and discipline Of the NJ f.
church are such as make the commencement Of the
conference year a time Of peculiar interest 70
Nethodists and indeed 70 all Others associated in
communities with them. With nearly half the
Methodist churches the beginning Of the confer
ence year is the commencement OF a new pastor
ate, always an occasion Of great interest to any
Christian church. or 70 any community
This is the case with the Society in Waterbury
village. After pastorte of three years, Mr.
Worthen leaves this place to minister to the
church in Montpelier. Mr.. Bass, son Of the
late Judge Bass, Of Moretown, graduate Of the
Vermont University, having spent the last four
years in most acceptable labors at Springfield
and St. Johnsbury, enters upon the responsible
but welcome work Of pastor for this society
Though comparatively a young man, yet in the
full vigor of manhood, and having bad some years
Of experience in the ministry he gives evidence
Of fully approaching the momentous and difficult
duties of a worthy pastor. There is good reason
to hope that, however much he may be devoted to
the interests Of his denomnational order, Mr.
Bass liberal culture and Christian spirit will be
made manifest in the various relations Of Chris
tan intercourse with other branches Of the churcl
Of Christ

CADET APPOINTMENTS The examination OF can
ddates for appointment to the Naval Academy
and West Point, from the 2d Congressional
District of Vermont, took place at White River

Judge Poland Seventeen young men appeared
to compete for these places They were subject
ed to inspection as to their physical qualifications,
and were thoroughly examined in history, arith-
metc, geography, grammar, reading, spelling
and writing. The trial was continued for about
IL hours, and resulted in the selection of Victor
T. Bridgman of Hardwick, as the candidate for
West Point, and Willie s. Dutton of Hartford
for the Naval Academy. There were several 9th
ers whose claims were nearly as good, and the
committee only regretted that there were not
