INDIAN POLICY,

Our superiority Of the strength and advanta-
ges of civilization should make us lenient to-
ward the Indian. The wrong already inflicted
upon him should be taken into account and the
balance placed to his credit. The moral view
of the question should be considered and the
question asked; cannot the Indian be made a
useful and productive member of society by
proper teaching and treatment? If the effort is
made in good faith, we will stand better before
the civilized nations of the East and in cur own
copscences for having made it. All these
things are not TO be accomplished by one indi-
vidual, but they will receive my support and
such recommendations to Congress, as will in
my judgment, best serve to carry them into
effect. l beg your support and encouragement.
CIVIL SERVICE,
1t has been and is my earnest desire to cor
rect abuses that have grown up in the civil SER
vice OF the country. To secure this reforma-
ton, rules regulating the method of appoint
ment and promotion were established and have
been tried. My effort lfor such reformation
shall be continued to the best of my Judgment
The spirit of the rules adopted will be main
tanned. | acknowledge before this assemblage,
representing US it does every section of our
country, the obligation ] am under 20 !ny
countrymen for the great honor they have CON
terred upon me by returning me TO the highest
office within their gift and the further obliga-
ton resting on me to render to them the best
services within my power. This | promise,
looking forward with the greatest anxiety to
the day when shall be released from the re-
spOnsibities that at times are almost over
whelming and from which l have scarcely
had respite since the eventful firing
upon Fort Sumter, in April, 1861,
TO the present day. My services were then
rendered and accepted under the first call for
troops growing out of that event. l did not ask
for place or position and was entirely without
influence or the acquaintance of persons of in
fuence, but was resolved to perform my part in
a struggle threatening the very existence of the
nation. l performed a conscientious duty with
out asking promotion or command, and without
a revengeful feeling towards any section or in
dividual. Notwithstanding this throughout
Office in 1868 to the close of the last Presidential
campaign, have been the subject of abuse and
SANDER scarcely ever equaled in political his
tory, which to-day l feel that / can afford to
disregard, in view of your verdict, which l
gratefully accept as my vindication.

LUCKY MEN.

There are thousands Of men who
believe in luck. They are general
". unfortunate themselves, or, as
they call it, unlucky. They see
themselves sinking and their neigh
bors rising, all through luck. They
were born unlucky, and, believing
this, they make no particular effort
to stem the tide which sets against
them, and SO drift into hopeless
failure. They watch the successful
man to see what this mythical God
dess Of Fortune bestows upon him,
but fail to note the amount of labor
which he renders to secure the
golden blessings of the goddess.
Success to their eyes is nothing but
luck. Energy, ambition, resolution,
are worthless, unless the, lucky
star shines upon their ,possessor.
l.
# these idle dreamers would seek
for the true cause Of success, they
would find it in hard work, patient
Application, steady, uncompromis-
ing labor. There is no such thing
as luck. A happy combination Of
circumstances, brought sbout nine
times ont Of ten by . mana own
industry, is too often mistaken for
good luck. Some men grow rich;
everything they touch seems to
turn into gold; but if we watch
these men closely, we shall find
that it needs more than q touch to
secure gold. We shall find them
to be, as a class, men Of good judg
ment sagacious, untiring in tAei,
labors, deserving success by the
presistency with which they follow
it up. Wealth never comes to The
idler. Mis-directed energy maj
fail to secure it, but if it comes. q
AL, it must, be deserved or won b,
some special effort. II the youne
man just facing the world desires
to be successful, he must make NJ
his mind that he is the master o
his own fortune-that good luck il
nothing more than the results o
his own labor,e the natural reward
Of honest OF patient toll. Examin'
the lives Of success men, and not
drone can be found among them.
They won success because they de
served il, and deserved it becsus
they worked hard to obtain it,

FROM WASHINGTON.
WAsH1NeroS, June Z, 1873,

WAsHuNaroN, June Z, 1873,
1. Your correspondent Witnessed
yesterday the execution Of Tom.
Wright for the murder of Rogerski,
the peddler. Up to the last hour
prior to his death, he appeared in
different to his fate. The only
time he showed any signs of fear
was when he commenced to walk
up the step to the scaffold and saw
directly under him his coffin wait
ing to receive his remains. The
white OF his eyes could have been
seen twenty yards. It was then
his very large muscular frame, over
six feet in length, and weighing
22o pounds, began to shake, and. it
was with difficulty that he ascended
The scaffold.
Political news is somewhat scarce
in Washing on, as the pot has
ceased to boil in this vicinity. There
is, however, something Of simmer
on the spproaehing campaign in
Virginia. The disposition of the
State administration, now Demo-
cratic, and hence opposed in the
main to the education of the negro,
to refuse the proper facilities for
the education of the masses in the
ssOld Dominion is one of the SUBJ
jects of comment here. The COM
pletion of the James river and
Kanauba canal by the general Gov
ernment is another subject which
is looming up as question of in.

lportating heavy commodities from
