When the police trials had nearly concluded
yesterday, Judge Brennan created a sensation by
summoning the other three Commissioners and tho
Chief Clerk, thing done only when II is intended
to send some into private life. Soon the name Of
Sergeant Geo. W. Townsend OF the Chambers street
station was called. Tho Superintendent stepped
forward and said that tho Sergeant had submitted
his case. The name of Walter l.. Sanford OF the
Beekman street station was called Superintendent
Jourdan testified that on the occasion OF bis recent
nocturnal raid among the police stations he found
the Sergeant lying on a table In the inner room Of
the station. The Sergeant protested that he was
not asleep, but the superin tendent thought other
WISE Sergeant VIM. j. Robinson OF the City Hall
was then called, and the Superintendent complained
that, on visiting the City Hall at about A. NJ, he

Of the House, is to be three per cent here.

That is to say, n man with forty thousand dol.

will yield net income of two thousand
dollars a year after the local taxation has
been deducted.

sheridan and the Picgans.

Recent intelligence from the Piegan In.
dams shows that tho chastisement which
Col. BAKER inflicted upon them last winter
was free from some Of the shocking features
which have becu generally attributed to il.
Catholic priest, Father DEvEREAUx by
name, who has lived among the Blackfeet
tribes for nine years past, and has now been
chosen as their ambassador TO the United
States Government, has lately arrived at Fort
Shaw, the point from which Col. BAKER
started upon his expedition. Father Dew
EREAUx says that at the time of BAKERS
attack there was no small pox In the Piegan
camp, and that that disease did not sp-
pear among this band of Indians until
several days afterward. Out of 132 warriors
who were present when BAKER struck the
band, 90 were killed and 80 escaped. OF wo.
men 80 were killed, and of children G1. The
whole number of persons in the camp who
escaped was 294 ---r.r--',-
The effect of the affair upon the Blackfeet
is described by Father DEvEREAUX as exceed
ingly wholesome. Their young men hal
previously determined that the present sum-
mer should be season Of robbery and war
upon the white settlements. Their chiefs
had vainly demonstrated against this purpose,
but the young braves were entirely insubordi-
nate. This INSTRUMENTATION, however, has
now disappeared. They are all anxious
for peace, and promise that no more robberies
or murders shall he committed by any Of
their people.
Father DEvEREAUx is the bearer Of a let
ter signed by the chiefs of all the Piegan
aud Blood bands, asking President GRANT to
give them peace. This letter was drawn up
and signed at two great councils, one of the
PiegaDs, the other Of the Bloods "rhe
whites and ourselves" they say to the Presi-
dent, are both your children. We are seek.
ing the good way to live in peace Hide
bloodshed in the ground. Our hearts are
single. We sincerely desire lasting peace.
Tell us now thy will /; we will accept it all"
II would seem from this evidence, that Gen.
SHERIDAN, Gen. DE- TRoBRIASD, and Col.
BAKER, by whom the punishment Of the
/ Pieeans was planned, ordered, and executed,
were more nearly in the right than those
who have so vehemently condemned their
action as sanguinGry and wicked. 1t is
manifest that wild and ferocious Indians like
the Blackfeet cannot be efficiently dealt with
upon principles Of non-resistance and phi
lanthropy. They must be made to understand
that they cannot rob and murder their white
neighbors without feeling the heavy hand of
the Government When this conviction has
once been thoroughly forced into their minds
they viii be ready to make peace in earnest,
and to keep it after it is made and this

officers would now seem to have brought

Republican Reputation

The relative positions OF the Republican
and Democratic parties on the question of
keeping faith with the people seem to be
reversed In the Presidential contest of 1868
the Democracy favored reputation, while
The Republicans insisted upon honestly pay
Ing the debt according to the full letter and
ppirit Of the contract. On that issue of good or
rvil faith Gen. GRANT was elected The re-
suit Of that contest showed that dishonesty
had not yet been exalted into a national
Characteristic.
This lesson has not been lost upon the
Democracy. The late State Conventions of
the party throughout the country have been
Ringularly free from all reference TO repudia-
ton. In the formal platforms put forth, the
question 10 dropped out Of Jght. While tho
Democracy have thus learned wisdom by
experience, the Republicans appear to be
only too eager in the matter of the income
tax to change places with their opponents.
1t is notorious that the inQuisitorial in
come tax is and ever has been everywhere
esteemed the most odious and oppressive
furthermore, it was professedly temporary
expedlent, war measure, submitted to by
The people, not because it was just or
constitutional but because it seemed ncces.
Bary at the time.
This unconstitutional enactment expires
~ limitation this year, and Congress
solemnly pledged itself that it should not be
renewed Under that pledge the people as
Bented to the continuance of what was solely
war measure, notwithstanding Its uncon.
stitutionality, for five years after the close Of
the war The patient, overtaxed, and i'm
poverished people now demand the fulfil
ment of that pledge but the Republicans in
Congress seem resolved TO repudiate the com
pact, and to force the tax again upon tn,
country. In so doing they are bu
digging VIDE and deep the grave o
their party. There is no necessity TO
the tax now. The revenue is abundantly sui
hcient for all legitimate needs of the Govern
ment, and the only plea possible for its con
tinuance is that It will enable the Treasur,
Department to reduce our debt in advance O
its becoming due-a policy which has slread,
brought the people to the verge of bank
ruptcy. AS surely as the income tax Is cor
tinued just so surely will the Democracy &

There Is a good thing long current In the circles
here which will bear repetition. When lir Fish
was nominated for Secretary Of State, TO the sur
prise Of the natou and the discomfort Of the party
which had elected Gen. Grant, two Radical members
OF Congress met In the rotunda Of the Capitol One
inquired OF the other, What newsr to which the
reply was, "Hamiton Fish has been sent In for Sec
rotary Of State" The second retorted, "oh, no,
you are mistaken 1t is either Gov. Marcy or Gen.
Scott" "But they are both dead" rejolnod the

"but not so long dead as hamilton Fish"
New York perhaps deserves the palm In tho war
OF white repeaters but there IL black specimen Of
that article In these parts, trained by graduate Of
Tammany which claims tho 'front.' rank In Its partic-
ular color. The world ought 70 know that we are

your own far famed City Hall Ring, are striving TO

nearly all the ofaeals who compose his Ring, were
formerly loudmouthed Democrats OF the most rabid
species. This may servo to eyolan their present
tseties and their shiiation with Iom Florence and
other nlusirious expounders Of the Constitution.
The keiorm Republicans have got the votes by q
