THE UNNATURALIZED AND THE
AROPTGTNATQ

AB0RIGLNALS.
The following precious piece of general
isteIEigenee is from the New York Times
edited by one Louis ]. Jennings, an unnat-
uralized Englishman
sit is Q matter for general regret that the
members Of the board Of Indian commissioners
have seen at to abandon the work in which
they have been engaged with so much profit to
the country. Their resignation appears to
have been eauseg by some real or Iapeisd dHtago-
nism on the part Of the Interior Lepartmsnt to
the peace policy, which they Sbpted at the
outset, and to which they have stesdfastly ad-
hered. This action OF the commissioners
places the Ladidn problem uhsrs Il Was q fen
years ago, and raises the old question of eivtza-
Ron or determination! The humanity Of the
age demands that the Government shall persist
in the former, and enough is known Of the
Presidents sentiments on this question to war
rant the conclusion that he will not allow his
policy to fail from temporary failure of in
struments."
The itGEics are ours. This is richness"
for you. As though the peace" policy
of the Department was not the pol
icy of the President himself in
stituted by him, and controlled by him.
and with which the Department has always
been in heartiest accord. The idea that the
resignation of few highly respectable gen.
tlemen, who had nothing but advisory
power in Indian matters, should ''place the
Indian problem where 1t was few years
ago, and raise the old question of ciyiliza-
''tion or determination, could only enter
the head of man as stupid and as utterly
ignorant of American affairs as this fellow
Jennings is. From the brute force and
laundering recklessness with which he at
tempts to treat the most delicate questions
Of politics and administration we begin to
believe the statement to be true that he
writes his editorials with the butt end of q
club. His ostrich-like shrewdness is further
Illustrated by the fact that when he reads
this he will probably give an order to the
"boys" in the Times Office not to let his
master, Jones, see this paragraph.

EVENING POST AND GENERAL
- BUTLER.

The New York ErsniRg Post appears to
be getting fearfully demoralized. In its
issue of Saturday last, it devotes one edito-
rial to the abuse of General Butler and stig-
matizes his speech of Friday as Buffers
Mud Battery" Although the speech sp-
peared in the Herald of Saturday morning,
the EUening Post did not favor its readers
with single line of it. 1t aso reproduces
one of its old abusive articles, printed some
three months since, in which it prophesied
that General Butler would expose the de-
lnquencies of Messrs. Phelps, Dodge & Co.
Its readers are then informed how Butler
disgraced himself and how he could not
have done it except through the aid of the
Democrats, and how he poured stream of
abuse, not only upon Phelps, Dodge & Co.,
but also on Messrs. Dawes, Foster, Beck,
and Roberts of the Committee of Ways and
Means, who it also takes care to inform its
readers in general terms. aided by Judges
Hoar and Tremain, gave Butler the drub-
bling he deserved; and did it with vigor
"equal to his own" What a pityl If
Butler disgraced himself was that any rea-
son why the courtly friends of the New
York smugglers should have followed his
exampleH Is it not Just possible that if the
Post had dared to let its readers see the
proofs that General Butler presented of th e
delinquencies of Phelps, Dodge & Co. those
readers might disagree with it as to which
party was disgraced in this fght' The
poor men who are now being taxed to pay
for the millions kept back by Phelps, Dodge
& Co. through their lead statuary" and
galvanized tin I" lodges may not agree
with the Post as to the value of the "sez-
"vice rendered by Foster Beck, Dawes and
"Roberts in exposing the Sanborn and moi
"ety frauds" as it is pleased to term the
collection of $271, 900 from the aged Chris
tian firm of Phelps, Dodge & Co. Another
and sadder evidence of the decentralization
OF the BOsntDg Post is its open justification
Of polygamy in Utah and opposition to the
Poland bill for its suppression. Mormon
gold has performed wonders, indeed. Morals
are all well enough in their way-zood for
churches and Sunday schools and women
and children, but when they are put into
the scales with gold in Washington, or
within the clutches of the Metropolitan
press of New York. they are Of no account
whatever.

THE PETERSBURG ELECTION

TIA UUS.
The cunning devices by which the Con-
servatives attempted to steal the govern
ment of Petersburg from the Republicans,
though In q minority of 700 or 800, are now
being used by the same party to cover up
the evidences of their guilt. as the danger
of exposure looms up before them. That
frauds were perpetrated-notwithstanding
the vehement denials of Mr.. Hinton, the
superintendent Of the city committee, and
his confrerss, who visited Washington for
the express purpose of manufacturing pub
Lie opinion In their favor-is proven by the
fact that nine Of the judges of election have
been arrested. That violence was used to-
wards prominent Republicans is equally
clear, and that threats were made is un-
doubted, and yet these cunning Conserva-
tves telegraph United States Marshal Cold
well, who was not threatened-no one ever
claimed that he was-and as soon as they
get his answer that no violence was used
against him. they telegraph it all over the
country as conclusive evidence that no vio-
lence was contemplated against any one.
Let them get similar telegram from the
men they wanted to ''tar and feather" and
hang to lamp-post +" and more reliance
can then be placed upon their professions.
They also try to make it appear that the
Republicans of Petersburg generally are
satisfied with the result, acknowledge their
defeat, and believe the election was fair, &c.
That this is not the case is shown by the
fact that the Republicans held meeting
and senta delegation to Washington, headed
by Jos P. Evans, senator, g. May and ]. P.
Goodwin, membersofthe House ofDelegates
of the Virginia legislature, representing Pc
tersburg, to deny these statements and i'm
pressions. 1t will not do. Frauds were
committed, violence was used, and the Ne,os
and Inder-Appsal not only sanction it, not
only defend it, but counsel it.

THERE was great rejoicing in Denver
over the news of the confirmation of Cover
nor McCook. He seems to be exceedingly
popular at the capital where all the usual
demonstrations of joy were manifested.
The city was Illuminated, cannon fired and
his name placed in nomination for delegate
in Congress. This intelligence is very
gratifying to the friends of Governor Nc
Cook in Washington, where he is held in
the highest estimation.

THE MORMON BILL.

We are 10th to believe that the House
bill to prevent and punish polygamy in
Utah is destined to fail in the Senate. It Is
now fourteen, years since the Republican
party solemnly pledged itself to the extinc-
ton of this foul blot of barberism from our
escutcheon. It Is twelve years since q law
was passed by Congress for that purpose.
During those twelve years. the Mormon
hierarchy has oontemned and defed that
enactment. The present House has now
made an amendment to that act designed
to carry with it the power of its enforce
ment. There seems to be great-yea, I'M
minent danger that this amendment viii
fail to pass the Senate in time to become 2
law. That danger appears to arse from
Republican quarters, and In q body having
a two-thirds Republican majority. This is
something which requires explanation. The
people cannot understand it. They reason
ably enough conclude that Senators are
demoraIized upon this question. They can
not comprehend the reason for this coquetry
on the part Of heightened, honorable, and
moral Senators, with this modern bawd
under the guise and name of polygamy.
The old dodge Of letting important party
measures 60 by default between the two
Houses has become too thin to deceive the
people. IF there is more magnetic or
metallic influence about Apostle Cannon
and the Mormon Church than the Senate
can overcome or Withstand, the bone and
sinew of the Republican party would like
to know it. If Mrs. Victoria Woodruff
and her sister can be imprisoned in New
York for the advocacy of polygamy, is it
not strange that those who openly and def
antly practice it in Utah cannot be punished
Why is thisf Is it because Mr.. Comstock
and his associates have not come here and
asked for the suppression Of the Mormon
bible and Its institutions 2 The moral and
Christian people of this country will Ger.
tainly demand an explanation Of this bust
ness if the bill fails to become law.

THE Cincinnati Gazette Is not satisfied with
the farmers platform. Gin all these plat
forms we look in vain for anything in which
the interests of farmers are any different from
those Of the whole community; but we can see
that the destruction of some things they de-
nounce. and the carrying Of some things they
favor, would be damaging to farmers and to
the whole community" The whole move
ment is likely to prove "fzzle."

IT is REPoESED that the Congressional
printer contemplates reduction of the hours
of labor during the "slack" season at the Gov
eminent printing Office, and thus avoid re-
course, so far as possible, to the system Of
Burroughs" Such proposition is certainly
feasible. and would carry the employees Of the
establishment over Q chasm Of time that has
always been dreaded by those whose depend
ence is involved. Giving leaves Of absence to
those who may desire such respite, and re-
ducing the working hours from eight to six,
would be equivalent to reduction in the work
ing force Of perhaps thirty-three per cent. The
interests Of the Government would not be likely
to suffer by such an arrangement, and the mass
of the employees would thus be retained at
their posts ready for the increased business Of
the coming autumn. We hope the arrange
ment will be carried out.
