OuR INDIAN PRoTEGEs are uneasy, and, true
to their traditional policy, think that the sea-
son is propitious for their accustomed scalp
ing, numbering and thieving raids The
bounty of the government has enabled the
noble red man to get safely over the last win
ter when SO many hundred families in New
York were brought to the verge of starvation
without costing Uncle Sam even thought
Now the dusky cutthroats begin to assert their
rights, and the telegraph assures us that a
general uneasiness exists among the tribes on
the frontier. Occasional reports are given of
raids on defenceless settlers by the pets of the
government The only remedy against such
annual atrocities is to give our boys in blue
on the frontier plenary powers, and to keep a
strong force always at General Sheridan's dis
posa The arguments in favor of civilizing
the Indians, when caught red-handed in the
act Of murder, are about as logical as those of
Mr. Bergh in favor of rabid dogs and amnesty
to all animals.

IT Is RUMoRED THAT MAYOR HAvEMEYER in
tends to reappoint the two Police Commits
sioners who pretended to resign the offices
from which they had been removed by the
action of the law consequent upon their con-
viction for misdemeanor. We hope that il
the Mayor has entertained any such intention
he will be restrained from carrying it out by
respect for his own good name. The re-
appointment to Office Of the convicted Com
missioners would be an outrage Oh the good
sense of the community. 1t is the duty OF
the chief magistrate to show an example Of
respect for the law.

The action Of the British government in
demanding reparation for the slaughter of
some Of it's subjects at Santiago de Cuba has
forced the Washington governme to insist
on the payment Of some indemnity to tho
families Of the murdered Americans II il
little fattering to American national pride
that the reparation which is due to Ms should
have to be demanded by a foreign government.
The Virginius, at the time Of her illegal cap
ture, was under the American flag, and tho
subjects of Great Britain who were sailing
under it we're as much entitled to protection
as our own citizens. But the milk and water
diplomacy which is just now in favor at
Washington does not suit the temper of the
British government The safety of the
British citizen is above all other con-
siderations in the eyes of British Min
listers, and as the United States failed
to secure the full and prompt reparation
which Great Britain would have demanded
and insisted on receiving the British authori-
ties have taken the interests of their citizens
into their own hands. Under these circum-
stances our government has been compelled to
renew those applications for redress which
were SO contemptuously disregarded on
former occasion. If the authorities at
Madrid we're certain that a refusal
to comply with our just demands for repara-
ton would be followed by o recognition Of
Cuban bellgerency the applications, prayers
and humble petitions Of our representatives
would receive more respectful attention.
The conduct of the Virginius case brought
American diplomacy especially into con-
tempt, and if something can be done even
now to make Spain understand that we do
not mean to subml5, without protest, to out
RACES on our flag it will improve our standing
in the eyes of foreign nations. Mr.. Fish ap-
pears to have contemplated insisting on the
payment of an indemnity to the families of the
men shot to death at Santiago; but until the
demand Of the British government had been
vigorously made at Madrid no steps appear to
have been taken to force the Madrid govern
ment to take action in the matter Now, how
ever; that the State Department. has been reused
to sense of its duty we hope the question of
indemnify will be urged on the Spanish gov
ernment in manner that will convince it
Of the danger Of overstraining the exemplary
patience our government has exhibited under
great provocations.

THE CONDITION OF FRANCE. publish in
another column letter of remarkable inter
est on the political and social condition of
France. The state of parties is cleverly
stated There seems some reason to hope
that the divisions between the monarchical
parties will result in the permanent es-
tablishment of the Republic. If this
should be the ultimate result OF
the conflicts and antagonisms of the
last few years it will be well for France. The
Republic means peace, and peace prosperity.
The Empire pretended to mean peace, but it
was only a hollow truce. No government
which does not rest on the affections of the
people can give those social and political
guarantees at home and abroad without which
continued prosperity is impossible. If the
French people have learned this lesson their
bitter experiences of the past few years have
not been altogether in vain.

SUMNER TRAVEL TO EUROPE. In the early
part of this spring it seemed as if the summer
exodus to Europe was to be small beyond any
comparison with previous years The panic
which had just preceded, the dulness of
trade which still existed, and other present
facts justified the fear. The warm summer
days have revived the passion for the ocean
voyage, and the reduced fares have permitted
many Of our people to decide between the trip
to Europe and sojourn at Long Branch,
Saratoga and other such places. The trip
across the Atlantic has marvellously grown in
favor and the crowds which are leaving on
Tuesday and Wednesday and Saturday give
abundant proof that our people have acquired
in some way a strong desire to visit the
famous scenes of the Old World. That 50
many are able to indulge the desire shows
that the suffering by the panic was not so
severe as some are disposed to regard it.

AN ASSASSIN IN CouRr. r.-During the proceed
ings in the Yonkers Court House, growing out
of family feud, one of the parties to the suit
shot down the opposing lawyer in most cow
ardly manner The would-be murderer fired
twice on his victim, and, satisfied that he had
despatched his enemy coolly surrendered him
self 10 the authorities. Considerable excite
ment exists in the quiet town of Yonkers,
where the wounded lawyer is well known and
universally esteemed

BoUvTrFUL CROPS. From all parts OF the
country come glowing accounts OF the ad-
yanced state of cereals fruits and roots of all
kinds. Even Louisiana, that has suffered SO
severely from food and famine, as will be seen
from reference to our news columns to-day,
expects to harvest a larger rice and sugar crop
than was gathered last year.

The PRoH1BITIoNIsTs NOMINATION Of ex-
Governor Clark is nice little farce that is hand
somely supplemented by MIR. Clark acceptance
of the nomination. 1t is very funny to see the
simless efforts of the advocates of temperance
reform though their sincerity may well be
doubted when they turn aside from their
proper work to make exhibitions of this kind.
Governor Clark's acceptance of this useless
nomination can have no other purpose than
10 prevent very respectable old gentleman
from being entirely forgotten

Cuba-A Sign OF Progress.

The reactionists in Cuba seem to be grad
ually bending before the inevitable march
of events. For the first time the Spanish flag
divested of the emblem of royalty was yester-
day hoisted over the palace of the Captain
General. 1t may appear very small matter
whether or not certain piece of bunting
carries crown, but with the Spanish
people small points of etiquette have more
significance than with us. AS long as there
seemed chance that the Republic could be
oyerthrown and some form OF monarchy
erected in its stead so long the Spaniards in
Cuba stubbornly held on to the flag with the
crown, even when it had ceased to be the flag
of the nation. If they have now consented to
the hosting of the purely republican
banner it is because they recognize
that the restoration of any form of
monarchy has become almost impos-
sble in Spain. We are pleased to notice
this power Of appreciating events because it
gives promise that, sooner or later, they will
see how foolish it is to continue to hold Cuba
against the wishes of the Cuban people. Six
years of war must have modified their belief
III their ability to suppress the insurrection,
and ought to have convinced them that the
only possible issue to the present struggle in
wolves the entire separation of the island from
Spain The struggle may be continued until
! Cuba becomes u second St. Domingo, but it is
/ difficult to see what benefit can accrue to Spain
| from a war d routrance. On the contrary,
the recognition of the independence of Cuba
would secure the property of the Spaniards at
present on the island and would give Spain a
hundred millions of dollars to fill her depleted
treasury Can we hope that the ''good
Spaniards" will recognize these facts before il
is too late?

The Docs.-The absorbing question OF the
hour is how to avoid hydrophobia' No one
seems to be perfectly free from apprehension
OF the roaming ours that amuse themselves by
tasting the citizens legs. There IS general
desire to be rid of the canine population, and
even Mr.. Borgh feels called upon to declare
that he simply wishes ours to be killed with
decency. In the meanti me the dogs are
taking their revenge, and while the bipeds are
discussing the best way of getting rid OF their
enemies the CANNES are actively engaged
biting whenever they get fair opportunity
In view of the insuffciency Of the
arrangements to remove vagabond dogs to
the happy hunting ground might it not be
well to establish such ordinances as would
effectually root out the vagabond canine tribe
by keeping It's provisions in force durlnR Tue

Mr.. Sawyers vacant Office seems hard to fill;
but we have rumor this morning that the
place is to be given to Mr.. George B. Nc
Cartee, at present Superintendent of the Bu-
reau of Engraving and Printing. The posi-
tion is properly one of mere routine, and the
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury ought to
be an officer practically acquainted with all
the workings of the department. In this
aspect of the case, which should be control
ling consideration with Secretary Bristow, the
appointment Of Mr.. McCartee would probably
be as good a selection as can be made
The STEAMER EDGAR A. STUART is to be
released to the owner on furnishing bonds for
her estimated value pending the trial Of the
libel case The United States District Court
at Baltimore has decided that this famous
alleged flibustering vessel belongs to F. W.
Fishwick, OF Halifax, Nova Scotia, he having
acquired the title from Zimr Butcher, of New
York The libel case will not be tried till
September. 1t appears so for that there was
little or no ground for case. Should it turn
out that the arrest and detention of the Edgar
Stuart was spiteful proceeding of the Span
ish agents without any foundation for it, who
is to pay the damage to the owner?
TaE WAR DEPARTMENT will not recede from
the position it has long held in regard to the
powers of the General of the Army. This is
TO be regretted because, after ALL the only
thing really demanded by General Sherman
is that he shall not be ignored in conducting
the business of the war establishment. In his
letter to General Sherman Secretary Belknap
seems partially to concede this, when he says
that no important changes shall be made in
the movement of troops without the consent
of the Department but that it is in reality
no concession at all is apparent from the dec
laratiQp that the previous practice Of the War
Office is to be adhered to. II, however, the
Secretary ceases to ignore the General by no
longer giving instructions to subordinate Off
GERS without Shermans knowledge, OF least
the point of honor will be saved to the dis
tinguished soldier who now only nonnall7
commands the army. Heretofore the Secre-
tary of War has performed all the functions
of Gcneral-in- Chief and if he chose he ig-
nored the General of the Army altogether. If
his letter means anything it means that here
after General Sherman will issue the orders
for the army subject to the approval of the
department But we are not sure that Score
iary Bclknap's letter means this much, or, In
decd that it means anything.

necessary revolution which came when
l6adeus ran away from the throne, have only
made possible another, which, generated by
centuries OF misgovernment, superstition and
crime, may be darker and more terrible than
that revolution in France which began with

Sagastas of the day, only ended in the Reign
of Terror and the baptism of the Loire.

only applies to the large cities the mass OF
the people care little about it, and voters who
have hitherto acted with the republican party
will not dissolve old ties for what they would
deem so slight reason If the federal Elec-
ton law were really regarded as an important
grievance the States could easily redress it
by separating the election OF local officers
from that of members of Congress. The
States have an unquestioned right to fix any
day they please for the election of their local
officers and thereby prevent federal intrusion
in the choice of State and municipal fhnc-
tionaries Congress has an unquestonable
right, conferred ON it by the constitution, to
regulate the election of its own members, and
if the exercise of this right interferes with the
freedom of local elections the States have o
perfect remedy in thar own hands by simply
assigning a different day for the choice of
their own officers TIE fact that no State has
awaited itself OF this easy, obvious remedy is
pretty conclusive proof that the people
attach but slight importance to the federal
Election law And as the democratic party
can point out no other practical grievance for
which the principle OF local self-government
would be q remedy the common sense of the
country will not go with them in making this
a prominent issue in the ensuing elections.
The really strong ground OF the opposition is
the monsrous corruption and abuses which
have crept into the government in the exer.
else of its ordinary powers.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1874-05-23

A NUMBER of ex-oficers of the Union
army join in a dispatch with several North
en born residents of Arkansas, assuring the
President and the public that the tales about
the murder and intimidation or oppression
of Brooks supporters by the Bakeries are
pnfounded. They might have saved them
SELVES the trouble and expense of sending
tho dispatch, so far as the influence of these
tales is concerned. The truth is that the
officials in Washington and the public gene
rally. now that the muddle has been cleared
up by the fortuitous interference Of the
President, are ready to hear and disbelieve
all kinds of stories from the Brooks side of
the question. Judge jack Mcclure and
all his sensational adherents to the con-
trary, notwithstanding, the psople will be-
1ieve that Baxter is the right nan in the
right place. They understand that the
Judge was satisfied that Baxter should re-
main in Office until it was found that he
could not be used; and that subsequent TO
that discovery several disinterested %
patriots suddenly discovered Brooks to be
the legally elected Governor.
