INDIANS CATCHING INDIANs.-We have the
Information from Arizona that twenty-five
Apache Indian scouts of the San Carlos
Reservation had returned to Camp Mcdowell
with Delche, the guerilla Apache chief and
twelve Tonto-Apaches as prisoners. There
were no white men in the party. Here is a
case, then, which shows that good Indians
may be turned to profitable work, and work
exactly in their line, in hunting up running
down and bringing in bad Indians. In the
same way the Warm Spring Indians of
McKays band brought the Modoc war to an
end in the capture of Captain Jack and his
fellow fugitives. General Custer has also
been using his good Indian scouts successfully
in the Black Hills. This policy, then, of en-
ploying good Indians against bad Indians,
being everywhere successful where tried,
should be adopted as the general Indian peace
policy of the government.

Reformation as to allow an intensely artistic
people to reproduce the life costumes and IN

of any other people than the Germans the fes-
tival at Sonneberg would have been bur-
lesque. Under the direction of Herr Fieich-
man, it will be seen from our correspondents
letter, it was great success. This was solely
owing to the fact that the Germans have be-

development which the dramatic idea may

point in these words to Baecher: -'Do you
know when hear of your cracking your
jokes from Sunday to Sunday, and think OF
the misery you have brought upon us, think
with the Psalmist, there is no God?" How
this touches the chord of the common
thought And even here the touch is charac-
teristic. 1t is not the offence that overcomes
her patience, but the fact that the offender has
the heart to laugh after it; and, with all this,
Il thought the least you could do was to put
your name to paper to help renstate my
brother" who, it seems, had been turned out
of the Custom House. That service will 60
great ways as balm to her wounds; and, in
giving this poor woman's letter, malicious
pleasure seems to have been felt in retaining
her slips in photography, as if the only notice
it was worth while to take of her was to say
that she could not spell correctly. If those
who spell better had thought and felt as we'll
as near to the line of homely everyday
duties-how many pangs would have been
spared!
Then there are the two other Beechers,
Mrs. Isabella Beecher-H Hooker and Mr.. Thomas
X. Beecher and the husband of the former.
The invalid husband is afraid the world will
not like his wife's letting him 60 abroad
alone, and is concerned to put the subject in
good light and tells how it may be done,
and the wife believes that the most important
thing in the world is for her brother Henry to
declare for free love if he believes in it, and
she has plan by which that may be done,
and SO they move all through, each with his
own impulse.
But the strongest figure in the whole gal
lery is this ''Dear Tom, who told them twenty
years ago they were all wrong, and who pro-
tests against the whole batch and all its be-
longings." Here is man who has preserved
the Puritan downright honesty: -"In my
judgment Henry is following his slippery
doctrines of expediency, and, in his cry of
progress and the nobleness of human nature,
has sacrificed clear, exact, ideal integrity"
And this man, who abhors the doctrines Of
Woodruff, prefers her to his brother, as a
hero to a coward, because she breaches what
she practises and he does not. In his view
hypocrisy is the one great sin, and sincerity
and outspokeu honesty the noblest virtues of
life; and this We take it is pretty good gospel.

Dur Democratic state Convention.


The Democratic Central Committee OF this
State, from their council on the subject at
Saratoga, have issued call for Democratic
Liberal Convention, and the place named for
the meeting is Syracuse, and the time the 18TH
OF September next. In the call the demo-
cratic and liberal republican electors Of the
State, and all others who desire to co-operate
with them, are requested to elect three dele
gates from each Assembly district to represent
said parties in the Convention. The business
OF this Convention will be the nomination of
the State ticket of the party or parties repre-
sented, the main question being the candidats
for Governor.
There are two points in this call which will
attract the attention of our political readers.
Heretofore the full name which the democrats
have officially given their party has been the
comprehensive designation of the ''Demo-
cratic Republican Party" Now it appears We
are to have Democratic Liberal Convention
that is, convention of democrats and liberal
republicans. 1t is by no means certain, how
ever, that the liberal republicans will respond
to this call. Assuming that they are in the
market, they may accept the invitation from
the regular republicans, as promising better
bargain than coalition with the democrats.
According to General Cochrane, however the
liberals are not in the market, but intend t.
hold the field on their own account as A.,
independent party, and to cut in right and
left between the republicans and the demo-
Gratis What the liberals will do we shall
probably learn from Syracuse on or about
the 10th Of September.
The second point Of particular interest to
the politicians in this democratic call is that
it names the day for the proposed coalition
convention week in advance Of the day
chosen for the regular republican convention
at Utica. Why so? Heretofore the demo-
Gratis have always waited for the republicans
first to show their hand. Why this change OF
tactics? 1t is limited that the object of meet
ing in advance of the republican regulars iS
to head them off in the purchase Of the
liberals The idea is that, as between our
two great parties, these liberals hold the
balance of power, as demonstrated in our last
November election. But are they in the mar
ket We cannot tell, but it has grown to be
maxim among our politicians Of all parties
that every man has his price.

Mr.. BEEcHER ON THE MOUNTAINS Mr..
Beecher' arrival at Twin Mountain created
almost as much excitement as il an earth
quake had occurred. The visitors at the
hotels thronged to see the celebrated preacher
who is either the most remarkable
sinner Of the day or the most illuminated man
in America. Our correspondent describes the
state of public feeling upon the subject and
the various incidents of the scene. The ex-
element was intensified by the announcement
that Mr.. Soecher would preach this morning
and if he does lie will have an attentive
congregation. He once said that the minister
was always to blame for sleepy audience,
but we trust that he is not to blame
now if everybody is preternaturally
wide awake. 1t was always difficult to slurn-
Der under Mr. Becchers eloquence; now it is
impossible. Tilton has cried, "Slecr ao

THERE Is A WELL KNOWN Tradition that
the wife of one of the early printers of the
Bible, just before the sacred volume went to
press, removed the mot" from the seventh
commandment. Some modern elergymen
seem to have a similar dislike to the negative,
and have dropped it from their practice if not
from their profession. 1t is great pity that
the Bible was revealed to the Jews if the
Americans had written it religion would be so
much easier.

of appointing committee from Plymouth
church to investigate the charges against it's
pastor, the blunder of selecting only Mr..
Beecher's friends to serve upon it, is clearly
demonstrated. The opinion is universal that
the committee can decide nothing, and the
fact that the nature of its verdict is already
known has largely decreased the interest in
the formal report it is to make. 1t is plain
now that the public will attach less value to

The Luther Festival at SOnneberg.

The Luther Festival at Sonneberg.
The account which we print this morning Of
the singular festival in the Thuringian vii
lage of Sonneberg will be found as interesting
as it is novel Musical and dramatic art has
been cultivated in Germany to that dangerous
limit that an American amateur is phlegmatic
in his enthusiasm compared with the vivac1ous
Germans. AS our correspondent points out
the petty German potentates have no other oc-
cupation than to cultivate music and the
drama. Il is no wonder, then, that the
people Of Meiningen should share the de-
votion of Duke George, whose company of
actors recently made such great sensation at
Berlin, and that even their religious festivals
should be dramatic in form and method. It
is to this peculiar growth of German life, this
desire to give dramatic color to the past by
its reproduction, even to the minutest details,
that led to the recent Luther festival at Sonne-
berg. Luther was not in any peculiar way
identified with the Thuringan town. 1t is
true he had passed through it on several occa-
sions, but on none Of these had he performed
any act Of historic interest. But the people
of Sonneberg wanted festival, and Luther
festival was one that would enable them to
introduce into it more dramatic and local de-
tail than any other Accordingly Luther
festival was held. not 80 iluoh to celebrate the
