OUR talented representative in
congress, the Hon. r. Q. Mills, is
taking the peace policy of Mr.. Grant
by the horns, and now demands that
Santanta and Big Tree be brought
back and handed over once more to
the tender mercies of Messrs. Ward.
Dewey 4 Co. 1t appears from the
synopsis Of the debate upon this
matter, which is among our press
dispatches this morning, that on old
and threadbare argument is again
made 10 do duty, to-wit, that it is the
young men alone, who commit the
depredatlons, and that the pious old
savages deprecate their actions i'm.
mensely. Nobody in Texas believes
any such nonsense; but if all this
were true, IL constitutes no valid
reason why the covenant through
which those two murderous savages
regalned their freedom should not
be enforced to the letter. If the
united states government has failed
to secure the ends for which they
were liberated, it should remand
them to confinement, to begin with,
and then adopt some plan more
effectual which will at last be found
more in consonance with tho views
OF those who have SO long suffered
from the ruthless hand of the saw
age. The frontiersmen know but
too well that the only influence to
which the Indian yields is the logic
Of the rifle and the suasion of the
torch; and both Indian and from
.iersman hold the peace policy of
Mr.. Grant in infinite contempt
