crnnt,a Indian Policy.

More than a year ago thousands Of men all
over this country, of Gen. Grants own party,
Wero so well satiAed that, be was being blindly
aud foolIshly led by few humanitarians in his
peace policy with the Indians, that they denounced
his course on every occasion where it was dis
eussed. Even Phil. Sheridan declared that none
but the most severe measures could be appreci-
atsd by the red skins, and Gen. Sherman was
known 10 be opposed to the mik-and water
peace policy. But no argument would change
the stubborn viii of the reckless man at the
head of the government 1t required nothing
less than the massacre Of 4 brave and generous
Oaacer and those who accompanied him into the
very jaws of death to convince the President of
the error of his policy.
We are now however, told that "the admin
istratiOn is at last aroused to the importance
Of Furnishing the Indians who have refused the
peace offers" Even the President" says
Washington Dispatch ''begins 70 see that these
Indians do not appreciate his peace policy"
Hls PEACE policy is a mystery that is hard to be
reconcied with the previous course of General
Grant. That he who showed the mosl utter dis
regard for the lives of white men, of his own
Tace, In both the Union and Confederate armies
should exhibit such misguided and fatal aiec-
tiOn for the merciless savage is accountable
Now, however, when the murdeous deeds Of the
Indian hends hare driven all the sympathy Of
our people from them, we hope to see q change,
and the country rid of the annoyance andexpense
of these hostile tribes, by reducing them to sub
lection In the most severe and certain manner,
If 1t should even require their extermination.

Attention has been paid to the fact that Major
Hodge. the thisving paymaster who robbed the
treasury Of some hundreds OF thousands Of dol
Lars, and who was pardoned by the President, is
now driving fast horses about the streets Of WASH
inetoB, in the best Of sprts and with his pockets
apparently full Of money. A writer in the Sprung

rhe cost Of covernment.

The New York World sets an example in de"
nouncing the cost Of government that should be
followed by every newspaper in the land. It's re-
marks below are just and cannot be refutsd:
"Nobody, we should imagine. mot even the most
Radical Of Republican, unless be has a personal
share in public plunder, can fail to be both sur
pTised and shocked at the exhibit which we made
on Saturday of the increase in the expenses OF the
Government. 1t is nSthlng less than frghtful to
zee the increase in appropriations for all depart
msnts even within year'or two past-even dur
ing the last session Of Congress II is uonstrUus
that sixteen millions should have been apprOpFia-
ted in that session Of three months more than the
total appropriation for The preceding session Of
seven months. All this Is without the pressure
Of any unusual exigeney whatever. The appro.
pTiafiOn fnr the new men-of-war 10 the only eK-
penss that We can now recall which is out Of the
commonest routine. The extrsyaganee is simply
extnvaRanee. II is the result Of q careless pro-
digality Of public money and slackness in in
specting work and scrRtinizing estimates which
have never before been approached in the history
Of the country. What wonder is it when at the
head of what II peaass him TO call civil service,
and what he still more ludicrously puts forward
pretentions of a desire to make q reformed civil
service sits President Grant and does his best by
potent and shameless examples to debauch every
department of lit In one department of the pub
Lie service We have heretofore had some assurance
that We had ware for our wages. But even in
