acquaintance of the Treasury Department
as an Efficient deputy collector Of customs
under the collectorship of Hon. W. P.
Kellogg. He was appointed the successor
of General Steedman las collector OF In
ternal revenue in 1869, and during his
term Of service, just expired collected and
turned into the treasury nine million
dollars, without delay or default. He
had selected as his subordinate associates
in Office chiefly young men who supported
him with zeal and fidelity; but he gave
his personal attention to all the details of
duty before they were reported to the
bureau at Washington.
1t is not usual that the same extent Of
service and amount of official response
bility is adjusted with such promptitude
Sometimes years of postponement and
suspension follow the termination of a
financial trust. Colonel Stockdale has
been honorably relieved of this solicitude
His record is clear, and the heavy securi-
ties on his official bond are free.
1t always affords US much pleasure to
point to public servant who thus Illus
trates the propriety of his appointment
We hope it will not be forgotten in our
nominations for Office and representative
station that while the Republican party is
strengthened in popular confidence by the
appointment or election of competent
men, the task of indicating the princi-
pies of the party from the malversation of
any corrupt or incompetent incumbent is
very onerous.
Let this important consideration to the
unity and continued ascendency of the
party be never forgotten. The land is
filed with excitement. The sole obstacle
to Republican popularity will consist in
imputed incompetency or corruption Of
some men who may seek position in the
name of the party. Let the constituent
cies, and especially the country parish
constituencies, be careful to give no just
cause for undue evaporation to their
armed and vindictive enemies. There are
thousands Of conservative men who value
peace and good government more than
the success of White Leagues or Demo-
Gratis. Let the Republicans nominate
honest and sensible Republicans,
and these conservative thousands will
either give an active or silent
support to such nominations. For the
Apostolic declaration, che who is not with
me is against me-" by no means holds
good in politics, for two political oppo-
nents who stay away from the polls
are worth at least as much as one
friendly voter who attends. Let Us,
then, have as many Republicans
who can make prompt and satisfactory
settlement of their accounts and votes as
possible, and all opposition to Republican
principles will dry up and disappear for

THE INDIANS,

The speck of Indian war seen in the
numerous raids which the red men have
made recently in Texas and Kansas, bids
fair to assume formidable shape, and
promises to occupy our troops during the
summer. The same old drama, showing
the red mans barbarity and treachery,
his meanness as a warrior, Staying inno-
cent women and children, will be re-
enacted. The impracticabiity of boarding
the Indian in winter, and allowing him to
cut our Threats in summer, or of respect
ing the Indian territory reservation by
keeping a country 400 miles in length and
260 miles in width sacredly intact as a
rendezvous and preserve tor band of saw
ages who will not remain at peace, lisa folly
now too plainly visible. The punishment
they deserve would be readily melted out
to them if only the word of command was
spoken to our soldiers. Will the order
be given? The Indian of the plains, with
thorough knowledge of the country, is
cruel and wary foe. Infantry can not
well be used against him, and the cavalry
forces are widely scattered; still, it is evil
dent that warfare is the only alternative.
Many plans have been suggested for the
subjugation of the savages, but no argu-
ment recommends itself so forcibly as i'm
proved breech-loaders. Even tracts are
more effective when read under the range
of a brass gun. Among other gratuitous
lights on Indian policy, the Morning Star
has risen to say that there is but one
power in the world which can control
and reclaim savage nature-Ch Christian
charity-and that charity can only be ap-
piled through the channel which God
Himself made for that purpose-the
Catholic Church. It says:
Catholic missionaries alone are able, or
have ever been able, to pene trate unarmed,
unaided and unprotected among savage
hordes at the risk of their lives, with the
frequent sacrifice Of individual lives, and
finally tame the obduracy of their ferocious
hearts; they alone have been able to reduce
them to habits Of peace and industry, to
draw them from their cherished life of
the soil and become peaceful citizens.
The reason why the Catholics do not
make good citizens of the Indians, the
Star alleges, is because General Grant
will not give the church chance. 1t
says unless men can save them he will
not call on God to do it. 1t never seemed
possible that the Indians who annually
rage on the war path are good material
for the manufacture of excellent Catholic
Christian gentlemen. If there is anything
in the Star policy it certainly should
be tried, and not opposed. Generals
Sherman and Sheridan are both Catholics,
and knowingly would not throw obstacles
in the way of the church on account of
prejudice. It would at least be economy
on the part Of the government to let out
the civilization contract to Catholic,
Methodist, Quaker, or any responsible
party who can guarantee the accomplish
ment of the job, at whatever expense. In
the meantime the Indian will bear good
deal of watching, and now and then kill
ing, in bad cases.

WHAT A GOOD BOY AM I,

No such successor in self approval to
Jackey Horner has appeared in all the long
years as is Senator Bogy. He says in his
banquet speech, that "my course, humble
as it was, has been generally approved by
all who have met me-" And adds:
In reviewing my entire course during q
long session, am not aware of anything
said or done which does not meet my ap-
proval at the present time.
Well done thou good and faithful SER
want. We may imagine Bogy, like Major
Bagstock, wagging his head "as if re-
monstrating with himself for being such
captivating fellow"

A FAITHFUL PUBLIC SERVANT.

Colonel S. A. stockdale telegraphs a
friend that the accounts of the internal
revenue Office at New Orleans have been
adjusted and balanced within the course
of the week after his arrival in Washing
ton. This exhibition of honest and svs-
tematic administration of an Office so ex-
tensive and responsible in its receipts and
disbursements is a not unexpected and
gratifying result of official service.
Colonel Stockdale first came to the

KEEPING OPEN THE RIVER MOUTH.

The evening Picayune makes the fol-
lowing point:
Messrs. West and Sypher omitted in their
explanations of their valuable services in
behalf of the Mississippi river and the COM
merce of New Orleans, to explain how,
when they failed to get the appropriations
for the canal or the jetties, they did not at
least procure an adequate appropriation
to keep the mouth of the river open for
navigatio next season.
It would have been we'll if that point
had been full stop before the writer
commenced his little diatribe. Hon. J.
Fl. Sypher did not explain anything about
the thirty thousand dollar appropriation
which he was mainly instrumental in OBJ
tang from the general government for
the improvement of our delta. This APP
preparation was embodi ed in bill pre-
sented by him on the eleventh Of last
March. Mr.. Sypher presumed doubtless,
that the Picay,.ne, claiming, as it does,
to be first class newspaper, would be
cognizant Of this fact.
In addition to this appropriation of
thirty thousand dollars, there was intro
duced in the river and harbor bill, through
the exertions of General Sypher, clause
authorizing the expenditure Of one hun
bred and twenty-five thousand dollars, for
the purpose of dredging and keeping open
the mouth of the river.
Pass-a-rOutre has now depth of sixteen
and a half feet at extreme low tide, thus fur
nishing better facilities for incoming and
outgoing vessels than have been had for
years. The dredgeboat McAlester is con-
stantly at work, and the Essayons is at
hand to assist.
Senator West and Congressman Sypher,
in talk with business men, did not choose
to state what they presumed every one
already knew.

A left hand writer in the Scientific amer
lean gives some reasons why 1t is better to
write as he does. The hand is never in the
way of vision. The pen point is always in
plain sight, and SO is the paper to be written
on. There is, consequently, no inducement
to stoop forward or to turn the head so as
to throw the eyes out of the focus. 1t is
common fault with those who write much
that the left eye has shorter range than
the right. 1t is overworked and compelled
to adapt itself to nearer vision. In writing
with the,left hand, these evils are avoided.
An upright posture is the easiest, and the
ewes are equally distant from the paper.
