"A LETTER FROM NEW ORLEANS
den in the dense obscurity of the first page of
the argus yesterday the industrious reader
might have found treasure-a Renaissance
of a time that now seems so remote as to be
almost prehistoric. 1t was letter from New
Orleans, in which the writer bitterly laments
the good old times when slavery existed.
"How are the mighty fallenr' he patheticaly
exclaims, and adds;
What would the proud spirited people of
the sunny South have thought and said, ten
or fifteen years ago, at the idea of their then
slaves and servants ruling over them, in the
seats of official authority, and the course be
sanctioned by the people of the United States
Government.
Yea, verify, what .,oould they have "thought
and saidp They didn't suppose the mills of
God ground SO fast after they were once
started. The writer gives an account of the
evils of colored domination somewhat in de-
tail, oninously declaring that "the nanr'e'.asJ
bear the inoults neaped upon them for a few
months, or even years; but there will be a
fearful scene here some day, unless some step
is taken to protect the inhabitants from the
imposition of the 'colored people now in au-
thority." So, if the correspondent is to be
credited, the abstinence from rebellious acts,
now characteristic of Southern society, is not
to be ascribed to any change of heart, but
merely to physical cowardice.

Messrs. Cross and Beresford Hope opposed the
bill because it would give violent Shock to
churchmen and might cause unseemly col

a measure so likely to have the effect of soft

WOMEN SUFFRAGE IN VERMoNT.-The
people of Vermont vote practically, though
not directly, upon the suffrage question early
in May. The council of censors which met
last summer submitted series of amend
ments to the constitution, and convention
to act upon them is to meet in May. This
convention is to be constituted exactly like
the State House of Representatives-nam
of one member from each town, and is to have
a final voice upon the proposed amendments,
including of course, the one which extends
the ballot to women. AS the members of the
it will be seen that they will pretty accurately
represent the voice OF the State ON the qIes-

suffrage article, as the other propositions are
hardly mentioned. A lively campaign will be
kept up till the election. -. s:-'1-

Pikal Fallibility.

Mr.. Pike acknowledges that he was one of
the authors of the thirty cent tonnage tax,
the retention Of which by the Congressional
Committee on navigation interests he regards
as such an enormity. He excuses himself on
the ground that it was "war measure" and
that he proposes it as substitute for the tax
on the gross receipts of vessels. All, gentle
sophist, how unfortunate for you that this
lame excuse was anticipated by us and prov
ed to have no validity! As we have shown
again and again Mr.. Pixies original objection
to the retention of the tax was.that it was
not graduated to the value of the property on
which 1t is imposed-that it fell with equal
weight upon every ton of vessel property,
though the value of ten tons in coaster
might not be equal to that of one ton in an
iron steamer. Though the tax were ever so
much war measure, IL uas H-.--.-~,~.
than now to make it equitable: Then there
was no compensation offered for the tax; now,
though it is necessary to retain the tax origin
ated by Mr.. Pike, five times as much in re-
turn is offered to the shipbuilder or shipown-
er. At the time Mr.. Pike advocated the
measure that made the International Linen
pay only the same tax per ton as the much
less valuable vessels engaged in domestic
traffic, the interests Of his darling coasters
were not dear to him. Now, when his favor
ties are admitted to participation in the bene-
fits of measures designed more especially for
the revival of the foreign carrying trade,
which INC fod hu fba ba nd
denly feels all the benevolent energies of his
soul aroused in their behalf!

now willing to abolish the tax on coasters

them to do it," 1t way be questioned whetb-

that neither the Committee of Ways and

CUMBERLAND.
The Portland daily press., 1870-03-25

GEN. SHERIDAN has written letter to ar
my headquarters at Washington in defence of
his Indian policy. He says he has in his COM
mand at least five thousand miles of frontier
settlements, and it is his duty to give protec-
ton to the families residing on these long
lines against the outrages Of Indians. He
says: The number of men, women and chill
dren on this extended frontier is very great,
and there is not day, from one years end to
the other that these families are exempt from
the fearful thought of being murdered in the
most fiendish manner, the men scaped, the
women ravished, and the brains of their chill
dren dashed out. At least 1900 persons have
met that fate since 1862.
We have not the troops to place at each
mars house to defend it, and have sometimes
to take the offensive to punish for crimes al
ready committed in order to prevent the per-
petration of Others. In taking the offensive
have to select that season when / can catch
the fiends, and if a village is attacked and
women and children killed, the responsibility
is not with the soldier, but with the people
whose crimes necessitated the attack. Dur
ing the war, did any one hesitate to attack a
village or town occupied by the enemy, be-
cause women and children were within its
limitsP Did we cease to throw shells into
Vicksburg or Atlanta, because women and
children we're there? If the women and child
rem were saved in those places, it was because
they nad Cellars to GO iatoj aad-shouid any
OF the women and children of the Piegans
have lost their lives, sincerely regret that
they had not similar places of refuge,
though doubt whether they would have avail
ed themselves of them, for they fight
with more fury than the men. We can
not avoid being abused by one side or
the other. II we allow the defenceless peo-
pie on the frontier to be scalped and ravished
we are burnt in efigy and execrated as soul
less monsters, insensible to the sufferings of
humanity. II the Indian is punished to give
security to these people, we are the same
soulless monsters from the other side. This
is bad predcameMt to be in, but, as have
said, have made my choice and am going to
stand by the people whom the Government
has placed me here to protect. The reserva-
ton is the last ditch of the wild Indian, but
to get him there he must be forced on by the
troops. Those who think he can be induced
to go there by other means are mistaken.
When on the Reservation he will have to be
kept there by the presence OF the troops, and
thus become tangible for the good work of
civilization, and he can only he protected in
his rights while thereby the troops keeping
