Indian Territory, show a gratifying increase
in the arts and institutions of peace. The
augmentation in population is small but the
growth OF agricultural and educational re-
sources shows marked and encouraging pro-
gress.
In the summary published by the General
Land Office it is satisfactory to notice the
large item of 4671,33s acres of the national
domain charged to the Homestead account
This represents so much investment of the
bone and sinew Of tho country in new and
productive fields. 1t seems, too, that the de-
mand for tho public lands, both for cash
and special purposes has been unusually
large, over million acres moro than
the previous year having been disposed Of
this last year. The reference to geological
surveys of the Territories, made in this con-
nection, will attract attention. These surveys
are of real, practical value, and meet with
popular approval. We have an enormous
area of unsurveyed lands - 1,251, ,63O,62O
acres being tho exact amount. The
extension of scientific surveys and town
ship lines over this vast extent Of coun-
try, as soon us practicable, is desirable. The
evil Of this business has beens that Congress
has made lavish and extravagant appropria-
tions for the printing Of the reports OF these
expeditions at least, in some way, the docu-
ments have been printed, illustrated and bound
in luxury Of art wholly out of character with
the purposes Of the work.
For the rest of the domestic reports there
is O. fair exhibit. The increase of applications
for patents is healthy, and betokens steady
growth in the mechanical industry and in
genuity of the country. The Commissioner
wants more room and q reorganization OF his
office. The system has manifestly been out
grown by the industry of the people. Few
will stop to consider whether there be
any fraud OF error in the roll Of pensions.
The grand total Of 232,229 names borne on
that roll represents the MANNED, survivors OF
the war for the Union or the dependent wild
ows and orphans of those who fell in defense
Of their country. The considerable item OF
$25,48O,578, which is annually required to
pay these pensioners, will not be too
closely scanned. 1t is small offer
ing to the names of the heroic dead. The
revision of the Census Bureau seems to have
produced excellent results the Ninth Census
of the United States was completed in an un-
precedentedly short time. The Pacific Rail
road corporations and their kindred cut a
large figure in the report before us. Their
cost to the country is something enormous
but it is questionable if the development OF
the country, the extension of commerce, ana
the spread of permanent civilization which
these figures represent, is not sufficient COM
pensation for the outlay.

of confidence from the country. could not
honorably stay in Office any longer; he had
previously announced his adhesion to the
doctrine of ministerial responsibility so he
handed In his portfolio, which was accepted
by NJ. Thiers. That his example was followed
by the rest of the Cabinet was due, probably,
to the fact that they, too, take this method OF
showing their attachment TO the principle
which has so largely entered into this agitated
contest. Unhappy NJ Theirs again threatens
his resignation and it is probable that by
this time France has become weary OF hearing
tho same thing so often repeated without
effect.
This crisis is momentous one for the
French people it has clearly been precipltated
by the irreconcilables of the Right More than
ever their action gives evidence Of the most
determined hostility to any measure or any
status which gives promise of the establishment
of the Republic. They are attacking the Govern
ment on suspicion that it is engaged in precisely
the same line of tactics adopted by the Empire
and tho Monarchy in France-incting popular
addresses. There may be sufficient majority
in the Assembly to overcome this opposition
if there is not, NJ Theirs will not suffer more
in the anarchy which must follow than the
miscaievous men who have melted chaos.

be upon good terms personally with his
brethren. There was depth of geniality ana
of good fellowship in his nature, OF which
the not infrequent humor of his writing gave
indication. No man could be less
Indifferent than he was TO the good
opinion of others; no man could
relish the appreciation of his cotemporarles
more keenly, but he certainly did not think it
worth the sacrifice Of a single principle or the
abandonment of any opinion honestly. enter

true that he did not fear even the bugbear OF
inconsistency that he is so universally honored
and lamented as he sleeps in his coffin this
morning. When the history of American

which records his labors will attest that he
won the substantial respect of his brethren,

TIE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT.

The Annual Report of the Secretary of the
Interior, though not dealing with topics which
appeal captivatingly to public attention, is
always interesting and highly suggestive. II
is the annual review of the condition
of our domestic affairs. Pensions, Indian
affairs, patents, the public lands, edu-
cation, and railroads-these are among
the interests which the Interior Depart
ment has in charge and which intimately con-
Germ every citizen of the United States. Cen
orally speaking, all of these are in satisfactory
conditien the only exception, possibly, is the
Indian problem. The semi-hostile attitude of
some of the tribes is apologized for and
explained by the statement that tho new
policy has been only imperfectly extended
over the country. Perhaps more cor
rect statement would be that the policy
exists only IN theory; where that theory has
been practically applied, the results have been
good but it is too often the case that q peace
full and conciliatory course has alternated un-
with treatment of quite different
character. Imperfect returns from. twenty

IMPROVED CABS.

London has long enjoyed the reputation, at
least on this side of the Atlantic, of having an
almost perfect system of public carriages. Her
" Hansomsr and her Four -wheelersn are sug-
gestive of only pleasant memories to those
who have sojourned in the English metropolis,
and the comparisons constantly made with our
greatly inferior accommodations are far from
complimentary to the New-York system. And
yet London wants better cabs, and the " So
"ciety for the Encouragement of Arts, Manu-
factures and Commerce." of which the Prince
of Wales is President and about thirty states
men, scholars, and officers Of title and dis
tinction in the Naval, Military, and Civil Ser
vice of Great Britain are Vice-Presidents and
members of tho Council, has offered
a series of five prizes, ranging from
ten to sixty pounds each, for improved cabs
of any description exhibited at the Interna-
tional Exhibition at South KensingtOn in 1878,
provided they have already been in regular
use in the streets of some city for three
months. Some of the defects of the cabs
now in use in London which it is desra-
BILE to correct are: Want of room in both
"Hansoms" and "Four-wheelers !" too high
seats in the -Four -wheelers" and the failure
10 ullllZb JIlt epdCS uuuCluChhh eAo oS""St WV
high steps on the "Hansoms," making it diff
fcult to enter or leave them; imperfect ar
rangements for opening and closing the win
dow of the Hansom;" want OF ventilation
when the window is closed. etc.
Now, why cannot also New-York take
step toward reform in the same wayf Let
liberal prize be offered here by the city, by
committee of citizens, or by the American In
stitute for the best cab to be run at cheap
rates, and let it be condition of entry that
no less than five carriages of the model
exhibited shall have been III actual use on tho
streets of New-YorE for at least three months
We do not expect an entire reform of the car
riage nuisance this year nor next, but II our
reformed City Government would cooperats

Massachusetts invites attention as the first
State in the Union with any foreign immgra-
ton worth mentioning which has abolished the
tax per capita on immigrants. How this abo-
lition was brought to pass, with some interest
ing information relating thereto, is told by q
Boston correspondent of THE TRIBUNE, whose
letter is herewith printed. The State tries
this experiment at some cost, for it gives up
an income from the capitation tax which has
moro than paid the cost of that admirable
Massachusetts institution the State Charity
Board. Other seaboard States will wait with
interest for the result of this trial of free i'm
migration.

NJ. Thiers is again in difficulty. No sooner
had he succeeded in conciliating the As
sembly, so that good majority was given to

tation bursts out anew. The Monarchists
seem determined to break down NJ. Thiers
and the Republic which he is guiding to COM
plete formation. The resolution of NJ.
Duval was an open declaration of
war; 1T must have been accepted as such
IN the Assembly, which proceeded TO adopt it
by majority of five. But it will be observed
that the vote was very light at least one

Those who are in favor of measures to pro-
vide women with additional avenues to remu-
nerative and active employment will hnd a
pleasant item in the letter of the Postmaster
General to a Prussian official. 1t appears
that there are about 800 women in charge OF
post-ofices in different parts of the country.
This is not much. TO be sure. out OF gross
number of $1,000. but it is beginning, and
good one. There are about 100 women en-
pIoyed as assistants in the postal service; and
the Postmaster General might have added
that no woman in the whole service has ever
been charged with fraud or dishonest dealing
with her trust.

1t will strike most people as an extnvagant
thing to pay over one million dollars year

a pneumatic tube to convey it thither is build

The contest in Mexico, between the two COM

success Of the one which Gen. Rosecrans

gress undoubtedly expects, their good effect
upon the development of the country can
