State has the right to levy taxes for the pur-
pose Of aiding in the construction of railroads
expressed the opinion that railroads are pub
lie highways, and that it is just as lawful for
the State to impose taxes to aid in their con-
struction as it is for the purpose Of building a
wagon road or any other public work. In
the judgment Of the court, such taxation is
not prohibited by that clause Of the Federal
Constitution which provides that private
property shall not be taken for public use
without just compensation. If railroads are
public highways then they are under the
legislative controls of the State and may be
regulated as to their management and freight
and passenger tariffs in any manner and TO
any extent that may be demanded by the
interests Of the public.

THE INDIAN POLICY.

\ communication appeared in the Port
land Advertiser OF Wednesday, addressed
by Senator Morrillto thalpaper, to correct
mistatement which appeared it its col
umns concerning the opinion of General
Sherman in regard to the Indians. Mr.
Morrill, quotes from the report of the Peace
Commissioners in 1868, of whom General
Sherman was one. giving the Indians a
very different character from that with
which some papers are now crediting them.
Senator Morrill, then adds: 1.-The army, in
general. il notorious for its unworthy
prejudice against the Indians pre-
JUDGE arising not SO much from acquain-
lance with the Indian character as from
what the army has had to do with them.
The troops have stood guard upon the ex-
IRENE border to protect the van of our ad-
yancing civilization Our civilians
have been cheating. corrupting and plum
derinE the Indians, and the business of the
army has been TO hunt and kill them in
discriminatory in case of resentment or
disorder. In contact with the Indian in
his worst aspect and under the most I'M
favorable circumstances, many of our Off
GERS came to regard him much as fero-
cious animal, incapable of civilization, and
his extinction by the sword as both neces-
sary and legitimate.
The peace policy Of 1867, originating
with the Peace Commission of that year
and cordially adopted and faithfully en-
forced by President Grant, was designed
10 correct long continued policy of cru.
city and wrong without justification or cx-
cuse in Christian people. Already many
millions of dollars have been saved to the
national treasury by the peaceful policy of
feeding and civilizing the Indians instead
of fighting and DISCRIMINATING them, and
the way, I trust, has been opened for a
solution of the Indian question better than
the extinction by the sword of an oppress-
ed and fast perishing race.
The commissioners recommended that
the tribes be gathered together AS fast as
possible on reservations, subjected to n
steady rule and instructed in the arts of
peace. and that the management of so
important An undertaking be committed
absolutely to an Independent bureau or
department SO organized as to be free from
even the suspicion Of corruption. ! have
only to add that, as result of attentive
consideration of Indian affairs these many
years, concur fully in the sentiments,
opinion and conclusions OF the report"
