BENJAMIN DIsnAE1 is not to marry the
Countess Dowager of Chesterfield. The re-
port of yesterday to that effect as will be seen
from this mornings news, is fatty contra
dicted We are not told whether the denial
comes from the widowed lady or from the
Prime Minister. Mr.. Disraei is perhaps, the
most popular man in England at the present
moment and il is not at all to be wondered
at that in his proud position as Prime Minister
he should be an object of interest to the
ladies Of England. A mistress of ceremonies
he needs, and Of course the match makers
and the gossips are busy. Mr.. Disrasli's 8
attachment to the late Countess of Beacons-
field was genuine and sincere; he spoke Of
her as the best wife in England, and it is
probable that his sorrow over her loss is as
yet too fresh TO allow him to think of another
matrimonial alliance.

Now that the Indian question is prominently
before Congress and the public we would in
vite attention to the condition of the Indian
Territory. Armed desperadoes, intent upon
plunder, make incursions into the territory
of the Choctaws and Chickasaws, steal their
cattle, rob their reservations and carry terror
and decentralization to these comparatively
peaceful nations. There is no constabulary,
no police, apparently no protection for the
Indians who are civilized enough to have
schools, newspapers and regular forms of
government If these Indians, who have
been forced, as it were, to occupy
o region little to their taste, have no
protection from the government against the
lawless acts of reckless ruffans, can we hope
to anticipate complete obedience and quietude
among the wilder Indians to the north
ward? There are some fifty thou
sand inhabitants in the Indian Ter
ritory, spread over an area as large as
all the New England States combined. These
Indians are all becoming civilized. While the
Comanche tongue is the court language of
the Plains, the Choctaws and Chickasaws have
adopted all the forms Of civilization. They have
magistrates, governors, courts, legislatures
four high schools, forty-eight day schools, and
more than the sum Of fifty thousand dollars
is annually expended upon education. The
general sentiment among them is in favor of
q Territorial government and we do not see
how Congress can well deny their prayer. The
best argument that can be addressed to the
savage is that his civilized brother has been
accorded all the rights Of an American citizen
when hs has shown himself worthy Of the
distinction.

TIE FIJI misunderstanding to one of
our cable dispatches this morning the sov-
ereignty of the FIJI Islands has been formally
rendered to Great Britain. 1t has long been
apparent that the missionaries and the traders
were laboring towards this end. It is but
little likely that the offered sovereignty will
be refused. 1t is not Johnny Bulls habit to
despise such gifts when they come in his way.
In another place in the HERALD Of this morn
ing will be found an interesting sketch of the
islands. Under American or British rule it Is
quite manifest that the value Of these islands
might be greatly increased.

knowledge Of the Presidents intentions, or
doing him the injustice of attributing to him
inordinate ambition, we have always held that
he had only to express wish for q third term
to receive nomination. Nothing is impos-
sible to the master of the power which now
dominates this Republic-nothing but revo-
luton. We are in the eddies of revolution.
This financial question controls all questions.
No power, not even the stern and disciplined
army behind the President can control
this revolution without taking q radical new
departure, and we can very well understand
his anxious search for Cabinet There was
never Cabinet that as whole expressed less
the feelings of the country than the one which
now surrounds the President majority of
its members were never heard of before they
entered the Cabinet, and will most certainly
never be heard of after leaving it They drag
the administration and overweight it. The
President can make no better answer to Con-
necticut than to give the country Cabinet
that will inspire the people with confidence,
and enable him to terminate his career with
out weakening and furnishing his fame. So
that we can we'll understand these Presidential
journeys in search Of new councillors-his
anxious desire to select advisers who will
strengthen, not weaken him. The one thing
the President would naturally dread is that
his party should SOlve in a mutiny This
would be an ignominious end to career that
has become interviewer with SO important a
part Of the national history. But what else
can result with Cabinet which no longer
manifests any power or commands the respect
Of Congress with o people who cry out in
pain and crave relief; with loyal States who
have never before abandoned the party seek
ing the democracy? However welded to his
administration, the President cannot ignore
Connecticut and if he continues his pilgrim
age until he finds Cabinet it will be well for
his fame and well for the prosperity of the
country.

The LOUISIANA TROUBLE. Carpen-
ter has given notice that on Monday next he
will again call up his Louisiana bill for the
action of the Senate. There is little hope,
however, that anything practical will result, as
the dominant party in Congress seem to think
the best way to settle the trouble is to let it
settle itself. But the republican party will
have to bear the infamy if Judge Durell is
not impeached. The charges against him are
too specific to avert the necessity of trying
him.

The action of the republican State Sena-
tors on the occasion of the reception of the
Governors Message regarding the currency
propositions before Congress illustrates the
stupidity Of partisanship. After the Message
had been read Mr.. Ganson, Of Buffalo, offered
q concurrent resolution approving the seni-
ments expressed by Governor Dix, and di-
recting copies Of the Message and the legis-
lative endorsement to be forwarded to Wash
ington. This resolution was the more COM
plimentary to the Governor and the more
forcible from the fact that it originated with
q political opponent of the State Executive
and of the majority of the State Legislature,
and any sensible man would SO have regarded
it But the partisan minds Of Senators Wood
and Woodin could only discover in it, to use
their own refined language, "a put-up job for
the democrats to get all the glory possible out
of the Message and resolutions" So the for
mer offered an opposition approbatory reso-
luton, the latter moved the reference of the
whole subject to the Finance Committee and
the republican majority voted in favor Of the
motion. Meanwhile Mr.. Lord, democratic
Senator, claimed the Message as o proof that
Governor Dix is ION his way back to his old
love for the democratic party" With such
brilliant minds in the Senate what wonder
that our State legislation is notorious for
shortsghtedness if no worse.

Although we have not received satisfactory
particulars of the loss of the steamship
Europe several points may be assumed as
clearly established Five days after this
ocean leviathan sailed from Havre she was
ready to founder. Not one French officer or
sailor, as it appears from the brief telegraphic
account published yesterday, remained on
board-that is, they all gave up the ship.
But the crew of the Greece was made
of far different stuff, even making
allowance for the courage that may be inspired
by hope of liberal salvage. With twenty men
taken from the Greece the first mate of the
latter vessel remained on board and tried to
save the ship. Two days afterwards, with
eighteen feet of water in her engine room,
which must have rendered all further efforts
fruitless, the Europe was abandoned and the
salvage crew proceeded to England on board
the Egypt. A brief despatch received at late
hour last night says that the cause Of the leak
is not as yet known, although it was said to
have begun in the engine room. Without
discussing this point now, we will simply
observe that if steam lanes had not been o
reality the Europe would have taken to the
bottom the four hundred persons now on board
the Greece, which may arrive at any hour in
the lower bay. Thus steam lanes are actually
essential to the security of life on the sea.
