the Indian Bureau known to him. The ac-
cusations against him are positive and cir
cumstantial, and are made by men of honor
and character, who were in a position to
know whereof they speak The President
in the face of these serious charges
retains Mr.. Delano. Can the rest
of the Cabinet afford to retain their
places if General Grant does not dismiss
him? Can Mr. Fish, can Mr.. Jewell, can
Mr. Bristow, can Mr.. Robeson afford to retain
their places, and thus say to the people that,
on their honor as gentlemen, on their charac-
ter as statesmen, all who accuse Mr.. Deano
are in the wrong, and that there has been no
mismanagement, no corruption in the Inte-
rior Department? The question is one which
addresses itself to the conscience and the
self-respect of each of these gentlemen, and
each must decide for himself The public
will decide later for itself Most of them
cannot be supposed mere chief clerks. Mr..
Fish, for instance, wishes, very properly, to
be regarded as a statesman. Mr. Jewell and
Mr.. Bristow would like to stand on equally
high ground. Can they, without lowering their
own colors, go any further than they have
gone? They have swallowed some bitter
pills. Mr.. Belknap's despatch to Sheridan,
the dispersion of the Louisiana Legislature,
the Arkansas Message, were not pleasant
doses. But here is one of different kind.
The real question is, Shall they lend their
characters to General Grant to shield an
officer openly and squarely charged with
grave and systematic corruption and fraud?
We do not pretend to advise them, for it is
question which each must settle for himself
But we respectfully call their attention to
the matter and assure them that the Ameri-
can people are looking and waiting to see
what they will do.

Civilized Infanticide-Tho Remedy.

No animals are known to abandon their
progeny, for the word abandonment cannot
properly be applied to those few cases in
which the young of certain animals receive
no care because they need none. In every
species where the progeny need care and de-
fence it is the one inseparable trait
of animal morality" to furnish these
to the last extremity if need be. Even
those who hold that humanity is
only the latest step of progress from
animal life must admit, therefore, that a
growth which seems all in the direction of
improvement has at least produced one re-
suit which is degradation, and puts man
below the animals in benevolence for all
human races rid themselves of the burden of
a superfuous progeny with more or less
Difference to forms. 1t might be superfuous
to speculate as to the precise point of prog
ress toward humanity at which mothers
find the maternal instinct less powerful than
certain conventional considerations of good
repute, or even of common comfort, but it is
certain that the point is touched at an early
stage of the growth of every society, and
grows as the civilization is higher. In the
semi barbarous settlements of Asia, where
children are exposed at the edge of the vii
lage at nightfall, and are seized by the prowl-
ing wolf, and sometimes become the nursling
of the she-wolf, whose heart proves gentler
than that of the human mother, the crime is
less common than in civilized China, where
there are recognized receptacles for the little
wretches and in China it is still less COM
mon proportionately to population than in
Europe. In Europe this vice has been
treated in very different ways. 1t has been
recognized and provided foe and stringent
enactments have been framed to repress it.
In the Latin countries they have provided
that the exposure" of the infants should re-
lieve the unhappy mother without the de-
struction of the child, and the vast foundling
hospitals have done great service in that direc-
ton. In England the Puritanical view has al
ways prevailed on social subjects, and in this
case it had a characteristically vile thought
behind it. Founding hospitals were looked
upon, not as preventing murder and saving
children, but as afTording facilities for evil,
Just as the known existence of a feceiver of
stolen goods may be looked upon as an in
centive to theft They were so restricted,
therefore, rs to be ineffective as a remedy,
and thence arose the English form of baby
murder called baby farming, by which little
ones are boarded out and arc not killed by
violence but simply die from the want of
proper care and nourishment. the profit to
The New York herald., 1875-08-25

the murderess being that child may die in
its first week and she will collect the board
money for several months. In this country
we have generally gone step beyond Eng
land in our Puritanism, and have murdered
the mother by malpractice before the birth OF
the child But this seems now to have be-
come dangerous, and our recent news from
Rochester is one more indication that we
have receded a step and taken upthe English
system. There is hope therefore, that we
may recede yet another step, and that public
opinion will turn tavorably to the best result
yet achieved by society in this direction

AssEMBLYMAN WILLARD JOHNSON is given an
unenviable notoriety in the fourth report of
the Commission to investigate fraud upon
the canals, which is published this morning.
The cost of the work executed by johnson
was S62, 172 in excess of his contract, and the
report charges him with defrauding the State
out of $50, ,595. The case against the Assem-
blyman seems to be an exceedingly strong
one, and there are many reasons why he
should be made to suffer the full penalty for
his offences. He is leading politician, as
well as prominent member of the Canal
Ring, and it is by the punishment of such
as he that honesty in the public service can
be best inculcated. Both civil and crimi-
nal actions should be instituted against
johnson at once, and the people expect that
they shall be begun without moments
delay.

The Georgia Troubles.

The course of Governor Smith of Georgia,
and the prudent self-restraint of the whites
in the region where a rumor of negro in
surrectionary plot prevailed, are extremely
satisfactory and creditable both to the
authorities and the people. The Southern
white people, living among the blacks, and
more or less isolated on their plantations,
where q single white family is often sur
rounded by hundred or two of negroes, are
extremely but not unnaturally apprehensive
of negro risings. They feel that to great
extent they are helpless against sudden out
burst of the blacks, and each white man
naturally thinks of his own wife and chill
dren. Hence we have seen on several
lamentable occasions, as at Coushatta, the
whites rush frantically to arms at the first
rumor of rising of the blacks, and at once,
with unreasoning ferocity shoot down right
and left. In Georgia, this time, the whites
appear to have been more sensible. They
have, under the guidance of Governor Smith
and the local authorities, preserved their self
possession. The danger-if there was really
danger-is over Many arrests have been
ndQe, anu nOW COInGS lut Illllc lOI luNcoIlSd-
ton. The Governor declares publicly that
he means to see equal and exact justice done
to whites and blacks. We trust he will see
to it that if there was really plot the
leaders shall be discovered and their motives
exposed. Generally, in such an enter
prise, the real. leaders keep them
selves prudently in the background. 1t
will be the part of the authorities to ferret
them out and to see that they are exposed
and punished. The mass of the blacks are
not responsible they are easily led away
by designing men.
This transaction ought to teach the people
of Georgia to foster their common school sys-
tenn and to see to it that the colored people
are educated. The ignorance of this class is
the only source of danger in the South from
them. They are mild, faithful, Industrious,
easily guided. They need only general COM
mon school education to make them safe
and valuable laboring class. Hitherto in
Georgia there has been a good deal of foolish
opposition to their education, and, indeed,
to common schools in general. 1t may be
hoped that this affair will remove some of the
prevailing prejudice against free schools for
all

The SWIMMING CHAMPIONS on both sides OF
the Atlantic renewed their attempts in the
watery element yesterday, Captain Webb
starting to swim across the English Channel,
and johnson accomplishing his great feat on
the Delaware. We have not yet received a
report of the success or failure Of the former
effort. while in the latter Coyle, who was
Johnsons antagonist, gave up the ,ndeayor
after swimming six miles. Johnson's supe-
riority is thus clearly established, but II Webb
succeeds he will probably have new contest
ON his hands for the championship OF the
world.

THE CoLoRED PEOPLE OF GEORGIA Else
gia from our special correspondent in the
South. Mr.. Nordhoff relates one fact which is
both surprising and gratifying the col
ored people of Georgia paid taxes last year
on over six million dollars worth of property,
and that they were the owners, at that time,
of 33S, 769 acres of farming land and of city
and town real estate to the assessed value of
S1,200,000. This is certainly fine showing.
1t proves that they are industrious and have
begun to accumulate. 1t proves, also, that
they have been in the main safe in life and
property; for they could not else have ac-
cumulated so much in the short period since
they became free.

Courtney, who won the State championship
year ago, held his own against all comers,
