Shall the Doctrine be Universally
Appltedf

The Boston Globe universally condemns
the Indian Peace Commission business, and
denounces "the foolish and fatal peace policy
so strenuously upheld by Eastern philanthro-
pists toward the savage banditti Of the
plains. "-Eschangc.
If the Government were to adopt the
opinion Of the Globe, and give it universal
application what would become Of the South
ern Modocs. If it is just to abandon what
is called the peace.policy of the Administra-
ton, and exterminate the whole Indian race
because the Modocs have proved treacherous
and murdered Gen. Candy and DIR. Thomas,
what penalty shall be inflicted upon Southern
NIodocs-the whole rebel population-for
their recent treacherous and brutal assassin
alton of more than one hundred unarned ne
groes who have murdered more than ten
thousand innocent, detenseless loyal citizens
in various Southern States who have COM
mitted untold outrages upon men, women,
and children all over the South who have
burned thousand schooi-houses, and who
are still pursuing colored men and women
with ferocity and INJECTING upon them
refinement Of cruelty never attained by the
Modocso Will the Boston Globe and other
papers who have howled themselves hoase
demanding not only that the Modocs, but
even peaceful and friendly tribes Of Indians,
shall be exterminated, what fate the wretches
deserve who have brutally murdered one
hundred loyal citizens TO every one muir
dered by frontier savages. We hope to see
the Modocs punished, even exterm!nated,
since there seems to be no hope Of civilizing
them. But if all Indians are to be put to The
sword to avenge the murder Of Gen. Candy
and DR.. Thomas, strict justice, or similar JUS
tice, will require that all rebels shall be put
to the sword for the murder Of ten thousand
and more Of innocent loyal colored and white
citizens, and their other innumerable crimes.

nations, as well a. our own. They beieNe
that the virtue OF the people IS dependent
upon their education, and that, as the pubic
welfare demands 1t, the State has the same
right to enforce it As it has to take private

CURED BY the general welfare, though they
may work great hardships 10 individual inter-
ests.
In our own country the perpetuity OF our
republican institutions is believed TO be IN
yolyed in this question, and the people OF
many of the States are giving practical shape
to their convictions by enactins compulsory
laws upon the subject of primary instruction.
They have been strengthened in their oeiiet
of the vast benefit Of compulsory education
by its results in the various States OF Europe
where it had been fully tested; as in Baden.
where, under its operation, prisoners de-
creased from ,426 in 1854 to 69l in 1861.
Marriages were augmented, and lllegitimate
births diminished in the same proportion,
Thefts decreased from ,009 TO AGO, and the
INDECENT were largely diminished. Its effect
in Switzerland is declared to be to protect
the rights Of the child, whom it Is the duty OF
the father to educate, the law being based on
the sound principle that it is no invasion OF
"priyate rights or the rights OF father 70
enforce his duty to his child.
Among the States of the Union which
have, within two or three years, enacted
laws enforcing the education Of children, are
Connecticut, Colorado, Maryland, Massachu-
sets, Michigan, New Hampshire, and Texas.
There may he other States where compulsory
laws exist But whether there are or not,
other States will undoubtedly follow the ex-
ample of those we have named. The Legis-
lature Of Illinois enacted a compulsory educa-
ton law few years ago. But the Supreme
Court of the State-the same profound and
liberal tribunal that has just declared that 1t
is unconstitutional for a woman to practice
law in that State-pronounced the law I'M
constitutional; decision that is as just and
reasonable as one would have been setting
aside law compelling parents to feed and
clothe their minor children.
All measures designed to advance tie gen.
eral welfare of the nation; contribute to the
general happiness Of the people; give vitality
and stability to Our institutions, and pro-
mote virtue and intelligence, are proper SUBJ
iects of legislation. Children, as well as
their parents, are endowed with certain in
alenable rights, among which Is the right to
an education. This right, as experience has
shown in this country, as we'll as in others,
is not always safe in the hands of their legal
guardians. Lawmakers have found it neces'
sary to legislate for their protection in many
respects. Compulsory education everywhere
| Is duty lawmakers still owe to them, and,
therefore, to society and the country. The
time is coming when this will be the universal
popular sentiment.

PAY o: StarNe.'

The Marquis Of Butte, Ought there not to
be all there p one Of the richest noble
men Of Great Britain, VIC see it stated, has
recently refused TO grant the tenantry OF his
estates an extension Of time for the payment
of their rents. The tenantry represented
that the unprecedented rainfall Of the past
year had caused the crops Of potatoes and
turnips to fail, and that the wheat and barley
had been damaged at harvest time, and in
view Of these disasters they begged for q
poslpooement Of the payday. This heartless
and mercenary nobleman possesses domain
and al annual revenue larger than many OF
Our States; yet he refuses even to extend the
time for paying their rent to his hundreds OF
tenants, though the destruction Of their crops
puts II literally out OF their power TO do 80.
They have, therefore, only the other slterna-
tive-eviction and starvation. Perhaps II
would be hardly just to say that this Is a fair
specimen OF the conduct OF the British aris-
tooracy towards their tenantry aud depend
ents. But it 10 not unjust to assert that such
proofs Of Tyranny and inhumanily Is far more
frequent than IL credible to the ruling
classes" there as elsewhere, especially at

Change OF Tune.

Not long since we copied from tae Eep"5-
licaa Of this city sn editorial article very
strongly commenting the policy Of protection,
and justifying its opinion by facts showing its
advantages, especially to the South. Last
week it gave utterance to the following
thrust at the doctrine:
The protection organs are becoming
alarmed at the growth Of the free trade feel
ing in the West, and are Just now printing
ingenious articles to convince them OF the
folly of their ways. The Philadelphia North
american, for instance, assures the Mlssis-
sippi valley that IL is destined TO become the
seat Of great manufacturing industry in the
future that if it will only wait and watch 1t
il certain to come out all right and be as great
as PENNSYLVANIA. The question naturally
suggests itself, how many millions of dollars
will be legislated into the pockets OF Penn
sylvania monopolists at the expense OF the
people of the Mississippi valley before that
blessed contamination Is reached.
We are curious to know what has wrought
this violent change in the opinion OF our
versatile neighbor, and led it to adopt the
free trade nonsense about protective tarih
putting money into the pockets OF monopo-
lists" manufacturers sat the expense OF the
people of the Mississippi valley"" &c. There
must be some substantial motiye-we mean
some substantial reaSon-for this sudden con-
version from a decided protectionlst tc yio-
lent revenue reformer." These reasons may
have the same remarkable effect upon our
mind as that of the Republican. If its CONVEX
sion be genuine, therefore, 1t ought frankly
to state them for our benefit.

foreign lands have also increased in greater
ratio than hers" From these important
facts he makes the deduction that It can't be
many years before both our exports and inn
ports will exceed those of our great COM
mercial rival, and that 81 our commerce IS not
declining" In support Of this opinion Judge
Kelley points to the significant fact that in the
last five years we have built over treafy.hrs
thousand miles Of railroad, and that the earn
ings per mile Of all our railroads have steadily
increased year by year, as irefragible EVIL
denee that the commerce Of the country has
enormously increased in that time. In reply
to the possible suggestions that this is not
foreign commerce, he asks what other name
can be given to the transfer of cargo from
Portland, Oregon, to New York, there to
be shipped to foreign port, and rice rersd
Having shown that so far from our COM
mercc having been annihilated, as the enc
mics Of protection and Republicanism are
striving so unscrupulously to have the people
believe, it is rapidly on the increase and
in fair way to overtake that of Great Brit
ain, he lays down the sound, statesman-like,
and patriotic proposition that the ships which
carry our commerce, shall be built by those
who feed on American produce and wear
American manufactures, Of material gath
cred from the wealth of our forests by Amer
lean laborers that they shall be built by the
aid of coal mined from the bosom of our
earth, of iron smelted from ores from our own
mines, and by our own ship carpenters,
machinists, workingmen, and ship builders.
He insists on the same protection to this
great interest as that which has been ex-
tended to manufacturers with such advan-
tageous results. With such protection he
has no doubt of the speedy revival" Of our
commerce, if such term can be properly
applied to an interest in SO prosperous con-
dition as our commerce has already become.
Many facts are given IN this instructive
speech to show how rapidly ship-buildng,
especially iron steamships, is increasing, and
what magnitude it has already reached. But

Alleged Decline Of A american Com
mercP.

We have had on our table for long time
ali admirable speech delivered in the House
Of Representatives during the last session of
Congress, by Hon. VIM. D. Kelley, Of Penn.
sylvania, in which the question is discussed
whether we shall ''build or buy Our ships and
steamers?'
We need not say the question is treated
with great ability and marked intelligence,
for Judge Kelley never NEEDLES with a
subject till he thoroughly understands it,
and that he is one Of the very ablest men
in Congress. Judge KS speech was drawn
out by proposition before the House to re-
peal the present law prohibiting the registra-
ton of foreign-bCilt vessels when owned by
American citizens.
The proposition was designed to encourage
the building Of our ships and steamers in
foreign countries, and would be, of course, a
ruinous blow to American ship-builders, as
it would remove our ship-yards almost en-
tirely from our own shores to the banks of
the Clyde and the ship-ysrds Of other por-
tons Of Scotland. 1t was prompted by the
prevailing idea that our commerce, the little
that was left by rebel pirates, has been rap
idly declining ever since the rebellion ended.
This idea, SO industriously circulated by the
rebel Democracy and the other champions
Of the free trade heresy, in the hope of dam
aging the Republican party by charging it
with the responsibility Of our commercial
ruin, Judge Kelley proves to be without foun-
dalton.
He declares that 1.-The commerce of the
American people has rever grown in quar-
ter Of century as it has in the last ten
years." and that Though we are yet only
seven years from the war which nearly
swept cur shipping from the ocean, we are
again marching On to our old ascendency In
the carrying trade Of the world" He also
states. upon the authority Of the Official sta
tistics Of the British Customs Commission,
and from our own Treasury statistics, that
|" for the last i've years our exports have in
creased IN greater percentage than those Of
Great Britain, and that our imports from !
