INDIAN POLICY.
Our superiority of the strength and advanta-
ges Of civilization should make us lenent 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? lfthe effort Is
made in good faith, we will stand better before
the civilized nations of the East and in our own
copsciences 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
CIVIL SERVICE.
1t has been and is my earnest desire to C r
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 for such reformation
shall be continued to the best of my judgm mt.
The spirit of the rules adopted will be main
tanned. / acknowledge before this assemblage,

country, the obligation l am under to my

office within their gift, and the further obIga-

services within my power. This L promise,
looking forward with the greatest anxiety to
the day when l shall be released from the re-
sponsiblities that at times are almost over
whelming and from which have scarcely
had a respite since the eventful firing

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

route; the latter could be built for less
money. Either would reduce the cost OF
moving grain from Lake Erie or
Lake Ontario to tide water at Albany
to one-haf the present rates, and
give n water route OF four or Eve times the
capacity of the present Erie Canal. Such a
water route would insure permanent and
efficient competition with the railways for the
rest of the century at least; would afford
relief to the Western farmers. who suffer
greatly from the present insufficIency of cheap
transportation and would preserve the com
mercial supremacy of New-York. Both routes

have touched on will be considered more mi

plete presentation of the various facts bearing
on these questions which has yet been made.
In the article printed to-day it is shown that
the reduction of the tolls in 1870 has not
proved effective in preventing the diversion
of the carriage of cereals from the canals, and
that the railroads are every year taking a
larger share OF this trade. The great prepare
tions which the railroads are making for a
still more formidable competition are also

TIE RETIREMENT OF BISMARCK.

It appears from our dispatches this morning
that Prince Bismarck has at last resolved to
put in practice the resolution which he was so
long ago said to have formed, to resign his
membership Of the Prussian Ministry and his
place as Minister of Foreign Affairs, and TO
retain only his preGminent position as Chan
cellor of tho German Empire. His failing
health is naturally assigned as reason for
this determination but the fact that no re-
manned unflinchingly at his post when his
health was much more precarious than it
is at present, would indicate that some
further reason for this abdication is to be
looked for. He is not an old man. for he was
born in 1914, and many able bodied statesmen
of Europe were veterans when he entered
public life. He is not the sort of parsonage
who retires in the fullness of his powers, to
give up his later years to meditation. IL
there were no reasons but his age and his
health to induce him TO withdraw from the
field of so many labors and triumphs, it would
be long before he would leave it.
But there is really little mystery about the
matter. Rapidly succeeding disagreements
with his sovereign, with his colleagues and
with the Parliament have ended by making
his position in the Prussian Cabinet If not
untenable, at least intolerable. He was greatly
annoyed by the failure of the Military Law,
and disagreeable mutual recriminations passed
between him and Herr Won Room. the Minister
of War, in regard to the responsibility for
this. Tho restrictions imposed upon the free
dom of the Press in Germany have given rise to
severe and irrevorent criticism and here again
Prince BlsInprck has indicated disposition "

THE CITY OF WASHINGTON.

There are some very serious questions to be
answered during the inquiry into the loss of
the City Of Washington. In our gratitude to
Providence for the saving Of so many lives,
and our recognition of the discipline and
presence of mind which seem to have been
80 conspicuous after the vessel struck, We
should not overlook the prObability-tO use
no stronger word-that the accident was the
result of gross recklessness. 1t is no unusual
thing for a steamer to approach the coast OF
Nova Scotia in dense fog and with only
the dead reckoning to indicate her position.
1t Is well known that dangerous currents pre-
vail in that locality, and that the dead reck-
oning consequently cannot be relied upon. If
all steamers, under such circumstances, are to
rush blindly ahead, not knowing whether they
are on their course or not, a new terror will
be added to the perils of the deep.
IL the reckoning was kept with any care the
captain must have known on the 5th of July
that he was near this dreaded coast. He could
not tell exactly how far nOrthward the cur
rent had carried him; but he might have been
pretty sure of his Latitude, and he might have
known that he was in dangerous waters,
where there was need of the utmost caution.
He is now reported as saying, in the explana-
ton given this morning, the only one which
he has made, that when the ship struck he
thought he must be on Georges ShOal. This
was pretty good guess; that shOal is about
14O miles southwest of the beach on which
the City of Washington was wrecked. We
say this was a guess, because Capt Phillips
afirms that even his dead reckoning was more
than usually uncertain; his cOmpasses were
Enthusiastically, and he had no means of
correcting them. Could any more helpless
condition than this be imagined of the COM
manding officer of a great ship filled with
passengers7 He was at sea, without any
observations of the sun, moon, or stars; and
his ship was of iron, with cOmpasses known
to be liable to disturbances of unknown force.
Under such circumstances his obvious duty
was constantly to heave the lead.
Captain Phillips Is reported further as saying
that he had not noticed any change in the
appearance of the water. Not even the inev-
liable difference perceptible in the color of a
shosling sea was observed by this vigilant CON-
mander. Now it happens that shoal extends
fifteen OF twenty miles eastward from Gull
Rock running out into the Roseway Bank on the
southeast and this shoal is so we'll defined that
an inward bound vessel crossing its outer edge
finds the depth suddenly diminish by ten,
twenty, or in some places no less than thirty
fathoms. If the City of Washington was sail
ing due east when she came upon this shoal
then at distance Of forty miles from the
place where she struck she would have found
the sOundings suddenly change from eighty to
ffty-six fathOms, and thence grow constantly
less. Five miles east of Gull Rock the depth
is only nineteen fathoms. This told the whole
story of her position. Why were the sound
ings not taken9

CONTEMPT OF COURT.

The newspaper is extremely troublesome to
the Courts both in America and in England.
1t occasionally comments upon the evidence
in important cases as it is given in and this
the judges naturally think may have an undue
influence upon witnesses yet to be called, and
upon jurors. For it is o melancholy fact that
common-law judges, with that ceaseless
jealousy of bias which is the beginning and
the end Of our judicial system, have no faith
whatever in the human head nor yet IN the hui
man heart taking it substantially for granted
that the heads of witnesses and jurors are weak
and unfinished, and that their hearts are
either desperately wicked or desperately weak
The unfortunate gentlemen in the box and
upon the stand from first to last are treated
like children. OF the former it is to be said
that having ears they are to hear nothing but
what is said to them under the express per-
mission of the court, and having eyes they
are to see nothing except the judges, the law
yers, and the witnesses. Every particular of
their treatment is in keeping with this. 1t is
true that they are no longer held without
food, fire, or light, in order to force from them
o reluctant verdict; but they are still watched
as if they were nice machines which the
slightest contact with things outside would
hopelessly derange. Inside, 70 be sure, they
are played upon with perfect freedom. They
are bamboozled by advocates and they are
sometimes browbeaten by judges. They are
not, it is true, told what they must believe,
but they are sometimes authoritatively told
what they must not, and this at the very time
when eloquent lawyers are about TO appeal to
their passions and their prejudices, and when
the learned court is about to instruct them
that when Truth points one way and the Law
another, they must be Obedient to the former
and turn their backs upon the latter. And
these are the men who are also told that they
must be deaf and blind, lest conscience should
catch cold at the least breath of public COM
ment, or judgment be twisted by the views of
bystanders and of auditors. 1t is all very
curious.
These remarks have been naturally sug-
oested by the course of the Court in the Itch
horne trial now going on in England. Mr..
Guilford Onslow, NJ. p, wrote, and The Leeds
Express printed, letter imputing perjury to
the witnesses who had been examined on be-
half Of the prosecution, 1t was 4. foolish thing
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1873-07-12

for Mr.. OnsIow to do, and the publication Of
the letter was undoubtedly piece of bad jour
nalism but tho Lord Chief Justice might
have overlooked it, as, indeed, he eventually
did. The fuss made about the matter was IN
singular contrast with the lame impotence
of the conclusion. The printers and publishers
we're brought before the Court for the con-
tempt which they declared to have been quite
unintentional. SO they threw themselves upon
the indulgence Of the Court, which blandly
told them that. since they were really sorry
for what they had done, they might go about
their business, After this case was so happily
and harmlessly disposed of, Mr.. Appleyard,
a publisher in the Strand, was brought TO
bar charged with publishing +" a broadsideS
against the defendant. Then Mr.. AppIeyaxd
said that he was really sorry for what he had
DONE and he likewise was told to go about
his business, being careful to sin no more.
Then the Lord Chief Justice uttered a tremen-
dous warning. Those who hereafter were
caught SHINING in this way again, would suffer
serious and heavy consequences" And 80
after this impressive episode, the great Itch
borne trial again moved slowly on. There was
no longer danger that jurors would be misled
except in court, or that witnesses would be
scared out of telling the truth by tho awful
criticisms of Mr.. GuilfOrd 0nslow, NJ. p.
We may easily satisfy ourselves that hero
no mischief had been done, since the Court
treated the offense so lightly; yet we fully
acquiesce in the general principle that great
trial during its tendency is not a subject for
newspaper comment. We say this, however.
with the reservation, that circumstances might
arise during the trial not merely authorizing
but demanding newspaper criticism. The rule
of The TRIBUNE, as our readers know, has
been to remain silent in such cases until the
trial has been concluded but we reserve the
right to break it under extraordinary prOvOca-
ton While thus acquiescing in the general
rule of the Courts, we mayinevertheless cen
sure that timid suspicion which treats jurors
and witnesses as idiots or IA perjured liars.
1t ought to be taken for granted that juries
will find honestly and that witnesses viii tell
the truth. Our practice, which proceeds upon
a quite opposite idea, is not ereditable TO hu-
man nature, and does it some injustice.
