Different Policy.
The Radicals have also adopted
different policy for their Returning

Their supervisors during registration

here to make the Republican registra,

FnlsITying Returns,
The returns have been 40 falsiied
and duetored as to throw out Demo.
cratic votes to large number. 1t is
suspected that the supervisors have,
IN some cases thrown out the total
vote at certain polls, and assuming ju-
dicial powers, have presumed to cast
aside the statements of votes from the
polls In other parishes or wards. The
rules laid down by the returning board
aud stoutly Insisted upon, seem to give
force to this suspicion. The Demo
cratic counsel are not to be permitte,
to examine the returns when opened
except where contests are raised. Til
is the memorable iiat of the board.

The Indian Question.

The New York Times, 10 earnest and
manly words, protests against the cry for
wholesale determination OF the hostile In
dams. which has been induced 10y the Gus
ter massacre, and speaks a good word for
the much berated Quaker policy 1t says
the war with the Sioux was not " brought
about by peace men, or Quakers, or Sunday
school sentimentalists. We bound ourselves
by treaty with the Sioux 20 prevent white
men from entering the Black His country,
which We ceded TO them forever We then
sent Custer 10 explore the country at the
head of column Of troops, and his report
OF the discovery Of gold mines was followed
by rush of reckless gold hunters. These
acts, which were in direct violation Of our sol
emn treaty obligations, were surely not the
ontgrowth Of a peace policy. Clusters troop
ers were not Quakers, nor were the Black
lIill miners Sunday school superiutendents.
The one bright feature in this miserable
business was the long forbdarance Of the
savages 10 attack either the exploring expe.
dition or the miners, aud the loyal bearing
Of Young Man Afraid Of Ills Horses who, at
the council where the Sioux declined 10 sell
territory as large as the state OF Michigan
for fifty thousand dollars, saved the commits
sioners from the massacre meditated 10y the
wilder tribes. 1t was not until after We had
failed 10 cajoe the Sioux into q sale, and
had openly abandoned all pretense Of obsery-
ing our treaty obligations, that the Indians
attacked the miners, and with the aid OF
outlying clans, like the band Of Sitting Bull,
renewed the fight Of centuries against white
aggression. This is the true and shameful
origin Of the Sioux war; and had the Quaker
policy Of Justice been faithfully and intelli-
gently carried out, neither the Modocs nor
the Sioux would have been provoked into
hostility"
The great defect, after all, Of our Indian
policy is that Of attempting to carry Chris
tianizing and civilizing agencies into effect
under the tribal system, which perpetuates
evils fatal to all efforts TO improve their con-
dition morally and materially. Compel the
abandonment Of the nomad, tribal condition,
and beginning is made. Any race Of men
furnished with means to live by agriculture
will work rather than starye. The reserva
tions do not keep the Indians. We have tc
feed them in winter, and fight them in sum
mer under the present arrangement

SHOCKING MoRrALIrY.-The physicians
appointed by the authorities TO investigate
the causes of the terrible mortality among
the poor children in New York city, and, if
possible, to check it, have commenced their
labors. In one portion of the city thirteen
deaths had occurred among the children in
two blocks within ten days, 1t was found
that there the children got but little rest at
night, and in the day time ate decaying
fruit from the swill barrels, having scarcely
anything else 10 eat. One washwoman has
lost her three children since the heated term
commenced. In one house there were five
sick children, and in the house adjoining one
that had just died. There have died in
New York, within twenty-five days, two
thousand three hundred aud thirtyfour chill
dren. In one or two houses in Mott street
there were thirty families and ninety chill
dren. Several houses have thirty to forty
children each. In one moderate-sized house
there were twenty-five families, some of
which took boarders, and il contained one
hundred children. In this house there was
daily funeral. The physicians made one
thousand three hundred visits on Thursday
of last week, dealing out medicine and ex-
cursion tickets.

the lake was not ruilled by even the slightest

visitors WAS in attendance aud the scene was a
gay one. The time Of the University race was

GOVERNOR HAYEs.-A resident of Gin
cinnati, temporarily stopping in Massachu-
sets writes, over his own signature, to the
Boston Herald, as follows: "From a long
and intimate acquaintance with Governor
Hayes, | know him TO be a man who is a re-
former in all that the name implies. Ills
appointments, during his three terms as Gov
emor, have been made with care aud most
excellent Judgment, and, while his independ
ence in the choice OF his appointees at times
may have disgruntled some of the time
seryers-eXperienoe has proven that his
judgment of men and their fitness for GER
tain positions of honor and trust, was sound,
A reference to the messages and inaugural
addresses of Governor Hayes will show that
he has always warmly advocated substantial
reforms in state aud municipal matters"

CRUELTY IN CUBA.-Some three years
ago the Chinese government appointed three
commissioners, one Chinese, one English,
aud one French, to proceed to Cuba and
make full investigation of the cruelties said
TO be practiced upon coolie emigrants. Their
report has just been published, aud fully
confirms the worst statements with respect
to the brutal treatment of the Chinese by
their Spanish task-masters. Eight-tenths
of the coolies declare that they were kid.
mapped or decoyed away from home in the
first instance. The mortality on the voyage
averages ten per cent, and on their arrival
they are simply sold into slavery. Those
questioned by the commissioners told terri
BILE stories of suffering and ill-treatment, and
many bore on their persons the marks of the
most cruel usage. Ninety per cent, of the
imported Chinese go to the sugar plantations
where insufficient nourishment, excessive
labor and brutal punishment are their fate
The noggings they receive are often SO
severe as TO result in death. The law is
supposed TO afford measure of protection
but their Ignorance of the language, the ter
rorism exercised by their masters and the
corruption Of the courts prevent its being
available to mitigate their lot. The Spanish
officials appear to have obstructed the inyes
legations Of the commission, and the plant
ers and overseers stood by, whip in hand
while the inquiries were being made. The
matter is receiving the attention of the

SUNDAY TAIN Among the almost mum
berless good things which are 10 be found
from time TO time in the Toledo (Ohio)
Bldde, is Sunday talk with its readers,
in the last number, from which we copy the
closing paragraph; Let none say that the
pulpits cannot interest them. Try them a
little more and see. Say not that devotion
has no beauties TO your mental eye, and no
profit 10 your heart. Give the forms of de-
votion little fair, candid inspection and
see if somew here in them are not sentiments
for which your heart is hungering. Go to-
morrow TO the sanctuary which you most
prefer, or, il you please, dislike the least.
Go with unclouded mind and kind heart.
Go not to let a single hatred separate between
your soul aud that of your neighbor, and
with not a single prejudice to close your
heart TO the good which psalm, or prayer or
sermon may contain. Then try them, each
and all, by the test of reason and an honest
intent Give religion fair play for once in
your life. Ii anything be said you do not
believe, hang that up, and look at it again as
you have time through the week. If any
good be said, make it your own-liye it--aet
it evernore. DO this for one day and you
will do it second day without exhortatior
from us.

EX-SEcRETARY BRIsrow takes very diff
fereut view Of the sanctity of confidential
communications between the President and
his Cabinet from that of President Grant.
The latter seems to recognize no principle
of public expediency in the matter but
thinks it all depends on his personal will,
Mr.. Brstow ON the other hand, regards it as
matter Of principle which is not to be sub
verted by the President His refusal to re-
veal Cabinet secrets was not based on any
desire TO shield the President, but ON the
belief that these are matters of privilege
which it would be very bad policy to make
the subject of investigation. Personal con
siderations are of small weight with Bristow
but the public interest is to him of supreme
