deal with the false and treacherous savages
who prey upon the hardy pioneers of civiliza-
tion scattered along our border. These men
have peculiar right to the most ample pro-
lection, and no canting or simpering of fools
ought to be permitted to stand in the way of o
manly and vigorous policy. Let Howard
devote himself to teaching Sunday school,
the work for which nature intended him.
Let gallant Phil Sheridan, who is now
on the frontier, have the orders he 50
earnestly pleads for. He can be trusted to
shed no one drop of blood uselessly but
the mere fact of his presence on the frontier,
and the confidence with which it will inspire
all parties that deeds of violence will be re-
pressed and punished, would speedily put an
end 70 Qptrages. The people of this country
are heartily sick of the canting peace policy,
with its hectacombs of innocent victims barbar-
ously slain by the cowardly redskins, who
delight in slaughter, but have not
much stomach for square fight.
Treacherous, idle and bloodthirsty, there
is only one effective mode of dealing
with the Indian He must be convinced that
unless he is content to live in peace and
labor for his food he must perish. We have
reached the point where we can no longer
afford the luxury of tribes of privileged assas-
sins. If the red man will insist on blocking
the way of civilization. civilization will tramp
over him. That is the lesson we must teach
the skulking murderers of women and chill
dren, whom mistaken philanthropy has
made the pet wards of the nation. We should
be rejoiced to see the ancient American race
preserved, but not on condition that they shall
be privileged to cut our throats when they
happen to be in on unusually good humor. To
indulge in the luxury of noble savage at this
price would indeed be folly. 1t remains in
the hands Of the President to take some steps
TO remedy the peace policy mistake, leaving
the gallant Sheridan and his troopers free to
act, with the simple order, 'Put an end to
these outrages.' We venture to predict that
in six months Sheridan would let us have such
peace as has not been known for many long
year to the unfortunate frontersmen. The
matter is pressing, as the patience of the suffer-
ing people is well nigh exhausted between the
thieving Mexicans and their bloodthirsty allies;
and unless repressive measures are adopted
by government we may look forward to the
Inauguration Of protracted and bitter border
warfare.

THE ILLUSTRATED PRESS.

The last issue of Harpe,'s contains some admir-
aby-executed portraits of DR.. Livingstone and Mr..
Henry M. Stanley, the correspondent of the
HERALD, whose gallantry and perseverance have
been at last so sgnally rewarded and so univer-
sally acknowledged. There is also o carefully
drawn map of the wild land Of wonder which has
been the theatre OF their exploits, and whose
secrets are gradually being unfolded to an inter-
ested and eagery-curious world. All who remem-
Der Mr.. Stanley will at recognize the fidelity
and spirit which mark this counterpart present
ment of him. The frank, open, strongly-individual-
ised face, the bright flashing eyes and the air Of
resolution and daring that are indellibly stamped
in every neament, these are rendered with faith
ful skill that deserves the very high
est praise. The portrait is half
length, and the costume gives pretty
suggestive hint Of the work upon which he has
been lately engaged The head is covered with
a striped Arab headdress, absolutely devoid Of
shape, but certainly no unweicome protection
against the fierce rays of tropical sun; and the
handkerchief loosely tied around the neck, and
the crossbelt over the shoulder, also speak of the
errand from which he has just successfully re-
turned
A couple Of weeks ago there was also very
good likeness OF him in FranE Leslie's This de-
picted him In ordinary dress, and represented him
as he will appear when he has again reached
home, to be crowned with the laurels he has won.
The face has the same marked expression, and the
portrait is finely and truthfully executed
We refer with pleasure to these efforts OF the
Illustrated press to popularize an achievement
which has reflected honor, not alone the journal
which prompted, or the man who carried it sue
cessfuly through, but also upon American journal
ism in general.

Sharp Fight for Life.
TELEGRAM TO THE new YORK HERALD.

,N ra MADRID, July o. 1872.
The judicial investigation in the case Of the
prisoners who are charged with having been en-
gagged in the recent attempt against the lives of
King Amadeus and the Queen is progressing &C.
lively.
MAGIsTERIAL REVELATIONS AND PUBLIC BELIEF.
The people believe very generally that the parties
who arrested In the act Of assaultng the royal
cortege, and who still in custody, are the same
who murdered General Prim.
MONEY AS MOTIVE POWER FOR CONSPIRACY.
A large sum OF money has been found on the per-
son OF one Of the men who were first seized at the
scene Of the outrage. This fact, together with the
antecedents Of the prisoners who have been ar.
rested slnce 1t is believed conclusively establishes
the allegation that the men had no political feeling
which would have prompted them to attempt the
assassination Of His Majesty, but are merely hired
instruments Of q political conspiracy.
FoREwARNED.
Some short time previous to the attempt against
his person King Amadeus received an anonymous
communication warning him that his life was in
danger. ..~.o& &rs.
FoREARMED AND READY FOR FIGHT.
When the attack was made sharp engagement
occurred between the would be assassins and the
police and the Kings escort. His Majesty himself
was anxious to participate, but was prevented by
his personal attendants and the members OF the
royal party in company.

The ''Witches of New York; was presented last
evening before very slim attendance, and, every
thing considered, 1t is not unreasonable to presume
that even the artists felt much relieved when the
curtain fell for the last time. 1t was rather poor
compliment to the patrons Of this theatre, rem
dered 80 attractive by the nmitable performances
Of Fox, to place such production on the boards.
The result was evident for apart from the thread
bare and disagreeabe character OF the piece its
miserable representation did not tend to improve
matters. Indeed, the least said about the whole
performance the better.

Wallack's Theatre.

The season Of golden hair opened last night at
this theatre with great success. Every part Of the
house seemed well filled, and th6::ssh the enthu
siasm was rather subdued the part
of the general audience, there were not wanting
warm expressions OF approval On the
appearance Of Lydia Thompson, the queen Of
blondes, the audience manifested their feelings in
rather boisterOus way, and Lydia acknowl-
edged them In provokingly charming
manner. There cannot be much said for
the burlesque of sT2obin Hood" IN which
the troupe made their first appearance,
and 1t may even be stated with confidence that 1t
was saved from collapse only by the charm of the
golden hair, aided by the dancing OF Lydia and
Willie Edwin who Is not only amusing but highly
original. Tho singing on the whole rather
thin, and though the acting was for the most
part lively the natural heaviness OF the piece rem
dered the best efforts OF the artists neiectua It
is to be hoped that "RObn Hood will soon be sent
to grass, and something lvelier put on the stage.
There Is no excuse for wasting the energy and
ability OF q good troupe on such Indifferent
material. 1t is creditable to the art
lists to say that they managed to invest the
piece with considerable interest, In spite OF its
heaviness. IL, however, affords many an Oppor-
tunity for q good laugh. Pronting by experience.
IN effort Is made to make local hits and puns but,
though the intention Is good, the success in this
matter is not too encouraging. Lydia and her
blondes will continue 70 delight the public for some
time.
