4 DJSGRACEFUL PROCEEDING.

The inCOmpeteness of Reform success WAS
never more glaringly illustrated than yester-
day, when Judge Barnard violated rule, pre-
cedent, and, as we believe, law, to bring two
prominent and notorious members of the
Tammany Ring who had been indicted as
fclOns before himself, who was known to be
friendly to them, rather than have them 90
before judge supposed TO be impartial. Not
only this. but no outraged public right, by
excluding from the courtroom the people who
applied for admission and conducted the brief
inquiry into his friends affairs as a star cham
Der proceeding. 1t Is not too much to say that
this was the most audaciOus act Of this judges
Infamous official career, and ought at once to
secure the impeachment which is necessary to
purify the bench of this State, and to the
need of which the Legislature seems at last
aroused. The narrative of these proceedings,
which we publish elsewhere, can be substan-
tiated by af1idavits of responsible men, and
we trust the Judiciary Committee of the Bar
Association will collect for use at Albany the
facts Of transaction which, If not a positive
violation OF law, is painful and humiliatinS
sacrifice of the dignity of the State courts
Aside from these scenes, the arrest of Fields
and Genet, yesterday, has little interest for
tho general public. But the meaning and tho
effect of these arrests should not be lost They
mark the resumption OF tho active war on tho
Ring-a war which wo trust will now be con-
tinued with vigor to thoroughly successful
issue. These are not the only men who arc TO
be prosecuted, nor are they the most dangerous
who have recklessly made themselves liable.
Before tho Grand jury has finished with the
evidence before it, other and more important
men will have been indicted, aud, We trust,
secured, and ultimately punished. Bat whether
the indictments hold good or are quashed by
the Ring Judges, before whom eventually
they will come, unless early impeach-
ment relieves us of that great danger, "-::'
whether conviction fails OF fellows, is of lesser
consequence than the fact that at last the
I fight has been resumed. Now let there be nc
more truces and long delays. Keep the rogues
on the run, as now, and the final victory is
| the Reformers'. For this reason alone there
should be not only prompt pursuit and prose
cution of ell those indicted but the Crane
Jury itself should give less consideration tC
technical points and moro to the solit
facts which they have before them, and bring
in indictments in accordance with these, leav'
ing it to the greater ingenuity and profcs
sonal skill of the prosecuting lawyers to make
them good on technical grounds.

Why is it that Indians-as We Improperly
| term tho Aborignes Of this continent-in-
stinctiyely dread and deprccate contact with
our countrymen as fatal 7
1t is not because we are White; for the
Spaniards are also of European lineage. and
they mingle freely and intimately with the
Red men without destroying them. At least
half the population of Spanish America arc
of Indian blood, and the President of Mexico,
Juarez, is O full-blooded Indian. Race and
blood are not the foundations of caste, the
excuses for prescription, in any portion of
this continent southwark of our Union.
Nor is oven our British origin decisive for
all the continent northward of us has been
British for more than century, yet we bear
nothing of Indian wars, Indian massacree, nor
the necessity of Indian determination, in Brit
ish America. The very tribes that fought our
ancestors frequently and desperately while
they lived within our boundaries have, ever
since they migrated to Canada been peaceful
and contented subjects Of the British Crown.
1t is proposed that the spacious and fertile
region westward of Arkansas which has been
set apart as the permanent home of the AbO-
rhymes shall be erected into Territory of the

said to signify, in one of their many Ian
guages, "The home of the Indian" And this,
which in any other country would be generally

tests from nearly every tribe or "natiOn' To-
Gated within the proposed Territory.
| Looking back across the history of our
past dealings with these identical tribes, can
we wonder at thisf Are they not justified in
regarding it az new scheme to rob them of
their heritage and doom them to speedy de-
! structiOnf
Yet the other side of the question also chal-
lenges attention. Let us consider that
The Indian Territory occupies the very heart
of the Union. It's soil, it's climate, it's alterna-
ton of grass and TIMBER are unsurpassed.
| Unlike most Western regions it is admirably
watered. 1t might, with little labor, produce
annually hundreds of thousands of Beeves and
millions Of pounds of Wool. Its Indian occu-
pants do not cultivate hundrodth part of 1t

wool that covers their backs. In the eye Of q

The Pittsburgh Gazette says:

Every one knows That TUE TRIDUsr is largely
responsible for tho party cry OF Hcpotism which has
boen raised against the present President"
Then every one knows what is not true.
No one ever learned from the columns of this
journal how many relatives Gen. Grant has
appointed to office. nor have we taken pains
TO ascertain. We believe they nro moro than
ten and less than twenty; but the subject is
one to which we have given little time or
space. Privately, we have discussed the mat
ter with very ardent advocates of Gen. Grants
denomination, and have generally found them
deprecating this "ncpotsm' more emphat-
ically than we did-and with good reason.
That it was q mistake, wo cannot doubt; that
it is killing affair, we do not believe. Yet, had
We desired Gen. Grants denomination, we
should have condemned it more pointedly than
We have done.

The examination of Special Agent Jayne
before the Congress Committee on Custom
house Investigation, yesterday. disclosed some
curious facts. 1t was shown that the latitude
allowed to the Government officers
in making seizures was very great.
Many of the Inspectors are leagued
together, it would appear. to make or threaten
seizures, and thus take advantage of the
alarmed importers. But, moro than all, it is
clear that some sort Of favoritism keeps in
Office men who have been convicted, over
and over again, of illegal practices. The
whole drift of the evidence, indeed. goes to
show that the New-York Custom-house is rot
ten from top to bottom. The Committee COM
placenty go to Washington to hear the evil
dcnce of Col. Leet's friends. Does it mean to
give a fair chance for testimony in rebuttal'

At tho DelmonicO Free Trade banquet, the
translator of Bastiat counseled the League to
work out somo single brick from the Protect
i've structure. The displacement of one, said
he, will expose and loosen the others thus
attacked, the whole ediice of Protection can
be tumbled to ruin. American Salt has been
selected rs the first brick to be pried out of
the Tariff, and the importers of Liverpool and
Turks Island Salt are prying at it very hard.
If Congress Is wise, it will stop their work.
For, two hfths of all the Salt consumed in the
United States being foreign, and only three
fifths domestic, the economical requirements
of Competition are sufficient. Surely, the folly
of relieving British Salt from competition in
our markets will not DO urged in the Ways
and Means Committeeman. Yet the freeing
from duty of imported Salt win close all
tho Salt-works in the United States that
are on the main channels of commerce.
And what q frightful folly IL would be to
permit that to be done! Have we 80 soon for
gotten the suflerings in the Rebel States for
want of an established manufacture of do
nestle saltf The war and the blockade
caught them without q single Salt factory.

We shall not try to remember how many flying

Western pioneer. an Indian Is simply an
ohstruotion-a nuisance-and never can be
| anything else.
Hundreds Of thousands of Texas Cattle are
annually driven northward through this Ter
ritory, paying some 80 per head for the priv
ilege to this and that tribe whose domain they
traverse. This may be termed compensation
for the grass they eat on tho way, but tho
Texans do MT see it.
Railroads crossing the Indian Territory are
essential TO the Whites living on either side.
Ono of those. running north and south, will
soon be completed another tending from
east to west, is well begun. These can obtain
little or no business, whether of freight or
passengers, within that Territory. On the
contrary, they might as well be doomed to
run from two TO four hundred miles through
a tunnel. 80 far as profit is concerned.
Yet they must have stations, roads, fuel,
water mot always procurable just where it is
wantod), and supplies of all kinds. Nay: they
must have repair-shOps, telegraph lines, ana
dwellings for their workmen.
Can these wants DO fairly supplied without
marring the autonomy and isolation desired
by the Indansf Must not game foe the neigh
borhOOd Of snOrting engines and flaming loco
motivesf
Above all who can fail to see that the
Railroad companies must inevitably and con-
stantly seek mitigatiOns Of the rigOr whereby
they are doomed to sterilty and loss in those
hundreds of miles of their respective lines
Who that comprehonds Human Nature can
doubt that, for every inch conceded them, they
;l,o1,, 20 oh all
We rest, for the present, with mere ind
cation of the outlines of problem which Is
manifestly destined to grow in Importance
daily. Let it not find the country unpreparcd
for its intelligent consideration and righteous
decision.
Doubtless, the first element of a true solu
ton is Good Faith We have entered into
solemn engagements with certain tribes and
those engagements we must ful.ill, no matter
at how heavy cost.
But this is by no means the whole case.
We have to consider not only what Is rcqu-
site, but what is possible. And it seems clear
to us that perpetuity of Indian isolation and
semi- barbarism is not possible.
Who will deliberately adjudge that, If pos
sibe it were desirable3 Who expects Or
wishes that the Indians should remain for
eign element in our body polite cvCrmorc9
Caste was. not long ago, part OF our
unwritten constitution. Government was a
Caucasian prerogative; the Red, Black. and
Yellow races were made for subjects or slaves.
At the cost of One Million lives, we have
unlearned that theory. Having accorded full
citizenship to the Negro, must VIC still regard
the Indian as untitled for or unworthy OF it
We entreat the religious and philanthrcpic
men and women who have so nobly interested
themselves in the welfare of the Indian to
study this problem thoroughly aud commend
their conclusions thereon to their cOuntrymen
Are tho Indians never to become our fellow
citizens? And, if that be their ultimate dcs-
tiny, how long must we await It's realization
