THE INDIAN BUSINESS.

"Time makes all things even" is staple proverb and rarely fails to be a true one. For the last few years, truly philanthropic but erring socie- ties, journals and people have been de- nouncing frontier settlers for every thing vile and representing the bar barous savages as nearly saints as any beings can be while cumbered with the flesh. The course of these so- cieties, people and journals, is only measurably excusable and in no sense iustifable. Instead of hearkening unto the voice of the suffering people themselves and the men and journals who truly represent their misfortunes and perilous condition, they accepted the lying official reports of the Whit mans and Colyers and their affidavit and certificate men. Like murder, truth will come out and eventually have its due force. But we did not think that from such defense of the Indians only one year ago, the good eastern people would now almost de- mand "India justice," and declare that certainly the interests of civili- ."zation would not suffer if the entire " savage tribes were exterminated," !" as the telegraph now advises us is the case. ..
 A few days ago, the news was flashed across the country that the peaceable Quakers connected with the Indian Commission were crying aloud for more war and less betting. cajolery and foolery; now we have this re- freshing dispatch, dated New York, September 13:
 A Washington special says The Chroni- cle, it is understood reflects the President s views, when it declares this morning that the time for action on the part of the Government has about arrived, and those Indians who have been invited to accept the olive branch of peace, and refused, will be taught that the strong arm of the government will reach the very last scoundrel of them who may have been implicated in late outrages. They have been so severely commented on by the press throughout the country that our cit izens are prepared for the enforcement of law and order, even at the cannon's mouth. A little India justice would be useful at this time, and whether the mur- derous wretches are blown from the mouth of the cannon or slaughtered in the field, it is of little consequence to the world at large. Certainly the interest of civilization would not suffer if the en- tire savage tribes were exterminated
 Although it is thought at. the Indian Bureau that there is no danger of an Indian war, official advices show that serious hostilities are probable at a very early day along the whole Indian line.
 For more than year we have known that the President did not share in the maudlin and unjust peace sentiment of the aforesaid societies, press and people, but with such infu- ences and the failure of Congress to provide the means for @ just warfare, but on the contrary with abundance for the savages, food and protection, he permitted matters to drift as they did. Then again, the killing of sev- eral army officers, the Loring party and other parties, carried the work feelingly into the peace mems homes, and now instead of army officers and dastardly civil officials flooding the press and Government bureaus with falsehoods, they are either silent or speaking about right.
