GOOD FOR SHERIDAN.

Lieutenant General Sheridan has been
giving his views concerning Indian A.
fairs beiorathe House Committee entrust-
ed with that Department. As might be
expected, from gallant soldier and an
honest and sensible man, he is in favor
OF abolishing the Indian Bureau and
turning the Indians over to the care Of
the army. Not only does such change
commend itself IS being just and ex-
pedient. but Sheridan says will save
thirty.five millions OF dollars to the
country. Not only would this amount
be saved in direct appropriations but the
stealings Of the Indian rings and their
attendant rascals be stopped. There is
no doubt of the correctness Of General
Sheridan's views. He is an old Indian
fighter, understands the Indian character
and how they should be managed. His
opinion is entitled to the greatest con-
sideration, and should outweigh that Of
ten thousand canting, "trooly good, :"
psalm singing. hypocritical scoundrels,
who steal anything from the Congress
sional appropriation to bale Of shoddy
blankets. It is about time that the
herd Of plunderers who compose the staff
Of the Indian Department. should be
kicked out bag and baggage. Moral
suasion and stealing have had their day !;
let them give way to common sense and
honesty-the Indian Bureau as il il
called. How singular 1t is that when.
ever you put your finger on "bureau"
in the public service. you usually point
out nest of jobbery. Letting that Pc
culiarity alone for the time being and
discussing this Indian Bureau" what
do we fnd2 We are met by a depart
ment which, from top to bottom. is one
gigantic steal. 1t has become by.word
and reproaoh. Its operations are looked
upon with loathing and disgust by all ex-
oept the "trooly good" who go in for
converting the heather and stealing the
said heathen's belonging from their ra-
tons to smallpox infected buffalo robe.
II is time that this opprobrium to the
public service was cleared away. 1t
surely has stolen enough and ought to be
satisfied. Turn the Indians over to the
army. The officers OF the army Of the
United States do not steal. What is
given to them for the use of the Indians
will reach the latter, and these savages
will not only be better of, but behave
themselves il not decently, decsntly as
they can.

A GRArurrIous CORRECTION.

In the locll column OF the Journal Of
ysstsfday was published q paragraph
entitled "Ths County's Bankruptcy"
We regret TO say that the arti-
ole in question Was not written with that
graceful perspicuity, generous impartial
ity and accuracy which form the
marked characteristics of our talented
contemporary. The entire absence Of
these attractive qualities would seem to
indisa.s that the paragraph referred to
was written by some laundering inter
lopsr and not by any member Of the
Journals able editorial corps. Having
this Impression we should have made no
comment upon the article we're II not for
. glaring misstatement, which we are
sure The Journal will sincerely thank us
for correcting. as that paper 10 as remark
able for accuracy as the polished dignity
Of its contents. The Journal unhappily
ID made to say:
We arc satisfied, after careful eIamina-
ton OF the matter, that reverse decis.
ion which SO many think ought to have
been made, would have been disastrous
TO the County OF Lincoln, and would
have thrown upon it. as preferred credi-
tors. the amount OF $3.50, 600 instead Of
SIS, 900, for the simple reason that all
who took bonds, would be preferred to
any creditors whose claims were SUISSE
qusnt 10 theirs.
Anticipating the correction that will
no doubt appear in our worthy cotempor-
ary's columns, so soon as the error Is
brought to ito notice, we would remark
that the effect Of the Court denying
the application for mandamus
would be that tho bondholders
would have to rely upon the Interest
Fund for the payment Of the interest
upon tho bonds and leave the General
Fund untouched, until . surplus existed
in that fund, over and above the out
standing demands against It. The as.
ssrtion published in the Journal. for
which that brilliant paper is Of course
mot responsible. land would have thrown
upon Il - preferred creditors the amount
Of $3.50, 900 instead Of $lS.0OO," is as
void Of foundation, as it Is absurd and
ungramma,ical. As the bondholders
voluntarily took the bonds under the
guarantee OF the Funding Act, they can
not, unless that act were declared un.
constitutional assert any claims against
the county, but those authorized by the
statute. The question island upon which
the whole matter turns, what is the
proper construction Of that act and the
rights with which il invests the bond
holders. That 10 the point to be settled,
but whom settled, will leave the bond
holders, bondholders still, but with their
rights accurately ascertained. Having
thus exposed the fallacy, to which We
are certain the Journal has unwittingly
given circulation, We accept in advance.
in the kindets spirit. the thanks with
which We are sure the Journal will over
vhslm n. We however remind it.
that many Of such escapades. might
jsopardiss its well earned reputation for
accuracy Is well as lucidity and elegance
Of statement. which We toll SO pautinsly
but alas unsuccessfully to emulate.

A RADICAL CHANGE.

The experience Of the Committee on
Appropriations in the National House Is
not unlike that which attends our own
State Committee on Retrenchment.
Strike where they will, some advocate Of
the old prodigal system under which our
annual national expenditures have in
creased from $50. 900. 900 to Sl70, 000, 900
in little more than ten years, jumps
up and tries to show that that Ia not the
place to strike.-lS. F. Call.
The Call does not state the case one
whit TO broadly. Every impeachment is
being placed by the administration. in
the way Of efiecting any retrenchment
in the expense Of conducting the public
service. Whether in the army or navy.
the diplomatic service. or whatever de-
pntment in. which it is proposed to
economist, the same opposition Is ex-
hibited. There is nm advocate for every
abuse. q defender Of every steal, who
jumps up in his place in Congress and
seeks TO prevent the threatened reduo-
tion. The public plunderers are so
hedged in by official forms. and defend

effect this. is needed more than any
other subject which could occupy the
attention Of Congress. The burden Of
taxes for nationals state and county pur-
poses. is becoming insupportsble and
the people less able to bear them.
Their ability to sustain the heavy load is
not only decreasing very markedly, but
they are becoming impatient Of sustain
ing the load. They are getting tired of
this eternal. never csasing, demand upon
their resources. In some shape or other
the tax gatherer is never absent from
their doors. One time it is the federal
collector, another il is state and county
or city. The shadow OF these unwelcome
visitors never leave each citizen

The New York Herald very properly
repoves the Democratic majority in the

1t is a shortsighted policy, besides being
ungrateful and cruel. Those MANNED

to dsmagogues like Blaine, Morton and
