Tho Indian Troubles.

The government at Washington seems al
last to have awakened to the necessity Of
using the army for something besides garrison
ing old forts and protecting dishonest traders.
General Sheridan's demand to be allowed 10
act extensively having met with o favorable
response, that active soldier will now be at
liberty to punish any tribe guilty of making
raids on the settlements or Of disturbing tho
peace of the frontier. We have every c0h-
fdeDce that General Sheridan will use wisely
and with discretion this extraordinary power.
The knowledge that they have to deal with q
man who will stand no nonsense must have q
deterrent effect on the unruly tribes and il
any exceedingly bloodthirsty brave should
undertake to break tho peace General Sheridan
will know how to administer such punish
ment as will cure bad Indians of any desire
to repeat the offence for some time
at least. This is the only reasonable
mode of dealing with savages who only no
spect force. It should, however, be accom-
panied and tempered by fair and just treat
woke by acts of injustice the passions of rude,
untutored tribes because we feel that we have
the material power to crush any attempt they
may make to avenge their wrongs. The whole
system of dealing with the Indian tribes il
radically wrong and exists only for the benefit
of a corrupt and infamous ring. 1t is difa-
cult to say whether the nation or tho Indians
suffer most from the present system. But it is
evident that SO long as we shall continue to
maintain large bodies of men in idleness for
portion of the year and supply them with
arms and ammunition to enable them to plum
der when the insufficient supplies furnished
them by dishonest officials are exhausted, W
cannot hope for peace or security on our az
posed frontiers.

Reunion OF the Methodist Church.


One by one the traces of our civil strife are
happily disappearing. The issues between
North and South, settled by the war, left a
legacy of division which affected even the
religious associations of our people. An
effort is about to be made by the Methodists
to reunite the sections of their Church which
broke asunder on the question of slavery To
this end an invitation has been given to the
bishops and ministers of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, South, to participate in
the opening services at the Sea Cliff Taber-
nacle In order to mark the more strongly
the desire of the Northern section Of the
Church for reunion grand reception will be
offered to such Southern bishops and minis
ters as may attend This conduct does honor
to the Northern Methodists and shows that
the true spirit Of Christianity has not deserted
the modern Church. As the social and
political issues which divided our people
are now irrevocably settled, good sense as
well as Christian feeling should induce the
Southern Methodis.s to accept the kindly in
vitation of their Northern brothers. and show
an example of Christian forgiveness by aiding
the healing up of the hesrtburnings and
hatreds of the civil war We sincerely hope
that the camp at Sea Cliff will be attended by
large numbers of Southerners, and THAI peace
and concord in the Church organizations may
be the forerunners of perfect reconciliation
between the peonls of the South and North

The Spanish Pretender on His High
Horse.

1t Is really amusing to meet in real life with
veritable descendant OF Don Quixote. Don
Carlos, the Spanish pretender, must certainly
belong to the family of the renowned Knight
of La Mancha. He has all the pompous
grandeur of that enthusiast and not @ few
of his other distinguishing qualities In a
manifesto addressed to the Spanish people
this leader of band of fanatics informs the
''rebels' that unless they lay down their arms
and allow the puissant and divinely appointed
King Carlos TO walk over their bowed necks
to the Escurial he will reduce them to obe-
dience by the virtue that lies in artillery All
this is very pompous and very ridiculous when
it is considered that this person who threatens
SO nightly has been for some years skulking
in the mountains of Biscay and Navarro,
never daring to meet the republican troops in
anything like fair fight, unless when
he had overwhelming odds in his favor. With
that treachery and ngratitude which have
ever been distinguishing traits in the stock
from which be claims descent he now de-
clares that if the republicans will give him
the crown he will allow the Church property
10 remain in the hands of the present DOS
SCISSORS and will accept representative govern
ment-for the sake OF a crown This selling
out OF his party and principle shows the
would-be King to be unworthy OF sympathy.
He is simply selfish adventurer, working on
the fanaticism of the inhabitants of the
Northern provinces Of Spain for his own ad-
vantage, without any real attachment 10 the
principles he processes. As the champion
and profegf OF the Church he ought not to
consent to the confscation of ecclesiastical
property IL he be king by divine right he
ought to accept no compromise with suoh
sbom'nst'ons US representative assemblies.

ana power. These are precisely the letters
that would be written by such a man and
such a woman. The more closely we study
them the more we are convinced that their re-
lations were not incompatible with those of a
true wife to her husband. In one letter dated
at Schoharie, June 20, 1871, Mrs Tilton makes
q remarkable reference to Catherine Gaunt, a
character in the novel of Charles Reade. This
allusion, which seems to have impressed itself
upon Mr.. Tiltons mind as an absolute con-
fessiOn of crime, is really incompatible with
crime. THAT the love-" says Mrs. Tilton, II
felt and received could harm no one, not even
you. have believed unfalteringly until four
o'clock this afternoon, when the heavenly
vision dawned upon me-" 'sOh, my dear
Theodore, though your opinions are not restful
or congenial to my SOUL yet my own integrity
andpurity are sacred thing to me-" These are
not the words of an adulterous woman. They
are rather the words of one who has sought
love on the domestic hearth and failed to find
1T, and who has preserved her honor, her love,
her hope and her purity before the ashes Of a
blackened freside. For she adds, as if in
terrible confirmation of this theory: "Now
feel quite prepared to renew my marriage VOW
with you, to keep it as the Saviour requireth,
who looketh at the eye and the heart Never
before could I say this. When you yearn
toward me with true feeling be assured of the
tried, purified and restored love of Elizabeth"
These words might have been written by the
wife of Cesar without inspiring thought of
suspicion.
1t is our duty to await the statement of Mr..
Beecher before we pass final Judgment. There
is no doubt that this misfortune is one of the
most terrible that has ever befallen public
man. Dimmesdoll, when he went into the
pillory, in Hawthornes romance of the 'Scar-
let Letter" suffered no such agony as we find
here recorded in the history of Henry Ward
Beecher What days of sorrow, humiliation
and abasement pursued by fury as relent-
less and unpausing as Nemesis Mr..
Tilton, whatever the offence, has assuredly
revenged it. Wherever he appears in this
sad narrative he is cool, resolute, self-pos-
never escapes and never deceives him. Mr.
Beecher is always the suppliant, Mrs. Tilton
the intercessor. Mr.. Tilton, hard, pitiless
inexorable, with preconceived purpose in his
mind, and compelling every fact and senti-
ment to bend 10 it. Mr.. Beecher's letters of
sorrow, his wifes earnest notes of repent
ance, Mr.. Johnson record of his prayers and
his tears-nay, even the tender (and one would
certainly think almost sacred letters) in
which a hopeful wife and mother sees
the measure of husbands love, in the
love she bears to her Saviour and her God.
It is almost too painful to dwell on these
things, but our main thought goes out to the
great and noble soul who is the illustrious
accused We are proud to feel that thus far
be comes out of his trial a magnanimous,
brave, sorely stricken soul, who has suffered
sorrows but who shows himself
in no way unworthy Of his genius, his fame
and the forty years of his blameless Christian
lifo

SHARKEY APPEARS AGAIN before the people
OF New York. Not that the detectives have found
the escaped murderer. Oh, no Nothing of
the kind But Sharkeys lawyers have OBJ
tanned a writ of mandamus fro m the Supreme
Court to compel the Clerk of General Ses-
sions to make return to writ of certiorari
which had been refused because Sharkey, hav-
ing escaped from jail, is in contempt of
Court. Reason When the case was called
no one answered for the District Attorney, and
SO Sharkey won by default of the prosecuting
officer. Fortunate Shsrkey.

In addition to the debt of 1874 as above
stated, there is a floating debt hanging over
the city the amount OF which the Comp
troller refuses to disclose. The Commissioners
of Accounts are understood to have made q
report of this floating debt so far as they
could wiring information from the Comprol-
ler's Office, but the report has been sup
pressed. The amount is supposed to
be about $40, 100000. As the funded and
bonded debt had increased to $136, 900, 900
on March 81 last the total debt
was then about s156,OOO,OOO These are facts
that no ingenious sophistry can explain away.
The taxpayers of New York possess intelli-
gence, and can easily verify the figures for
themselves. It is of little advantage now to
waste time in inquiring for exactly how much of
this increase the old ring was responsible and
what precise proportion is due to the opera
tons of the new ring 1t is very certain that
our finances are now miserably managed or
we should not go on recklessly bridging over
and rolling up debt while our annual ex-
penses are also largely increasing. The peo-
pie are more interested in inquiring how we
can safely reduce our expenses without detri-
ment to the city's growth and prosperity, and
how we can tighten the heavy burden of debt
on which we are paying the extreme rate of in
terest, than in ascertaining the average rate of
salary paid in the different city departments,
or in poring over intricate calculations de-
signed to prove that the difference between

There is no question that with capable
financial management in place of financial
quackery our condition could be speedily and
greatly improved. We have no right to pay
seven per cent interest on city securities when
any responsible business man can borrow
money at five per cent. The amount of our
present debt should be positively ascertained
and an attempt should be made to fund it at
o lower rate of interest. Then the reckless
and ruinous policy adopted by Mr.. Green of
bridging over from year to year should be
abandoned, our expenses should be reduced
and we should endeavor in future to 'pay as
we Co." and to provide for the gradual re-
demption Of the debt. We cannot hope tor
any such wise and prudent policy while the
genius Of the Finance Department expends it.

and the qualification of personal spite and
malignity. New York is rich and flourish
ing city, and we need only good business
sense and honesty of purpose in our public
officers to enable us to move onward rapidly
in q career which has only been temporarily
checked by stupidity, obstinacy and prejudice.
These faults would block the prosperity of
any private enterprise, and it is not surprising
that they operate injuriously on the city's
interests. 1t is fortunate that change in the

Brigands.

The brigands have made their ap-
pearancce once more in lonely place
near Orvieto. A few days ago. they
fell upon carriage containing four
passengers, Of whom one was the
Count Faina Of Orvieto. Having iden-
tilted him in the course of their retreat,
they let the other three go free, and
decided that the value Of his ransom
would be 100000 lire. The Count
wrote a hasty letter in pencil to his son,
and the latter Immediately got at work
to get together at least a first instalment
of this imense sum. But, in the in
term, the brigands, who could not
read, imagined that the Counts note
had contained notice to the authorities
Of their hiding-place and their descrip-
ton, SO that they quietly killed him
and fed. The authorities are, as
usual, investigating" But even if

A Frenchman Who Did Not Know His
RihIa

The Nation this week adds to the list
of the late Jules Janin's amusing and
amazing blunders the following story:
"In 1851 Janin was sent over to Lon
don as correspondent of Partisan
journal for the purpose of describing
the great exhibition. The exhibition
did not wholly engage his mind, and,
by times, he employed his valuable
hours in philosophizing on the charac-
ter of the English and dispatching the
results of his observations and medita-
lions to the editor at home. One of
these precious results was that, going
into the city, he saw on the front of the
Royal Exchange an inscription which
read THE Earth is the Lords and
which he at once transferred into his
notebook. There it appeared as La
terre est aux Seigneurs, and such was
the translation forwarded to the French
nation by our journalist, in other words,
says Janln, you may see by this that
not even the merchant prince of the
English can free himself from adegrad-
ing subserviency to the aristocracy-to

Care of the Voice.

The imperative requirements of the
singing voice in the way of rest, from
time to time, are such as to lessen very
materially the physical fatigue con-
sequent upon following the vocalists,
profession. The singer must rest or
the voice will fail. This does not APP
ply to the less favored voice-workers
who seek their profit through acting or
public speaking. A soprano who
should attempt to sing in public for
two hours every night throughout the
season would surely become voiceless
after a few weeks. But players and
lecturers are less exposed to this
danger; and it has been my own ex-
perience to lecture without a single
interruption Except Sundays) every
night for an unbroken period Of three
months. In one season lectured one
hundred andninty-eight nights between
October LIST and June 30th, without
harm to my voice; but the general
bodily fatigue was terrible, and the
injury to health severe.-Zhe GALAXY
