A Press law of a very stringent character
has been passed by large majorities, the worst
feature Of which is that it takes away the jury,
which was the only restriction on oppressive
convictions, and puts the power of convicting
Of a Press offence into the hands of the " Cor
r%ectional Tribunals" which always decide for
authority and against liberty. It is said in
France that even the Empire would never
have ventured to establish such a Press law,
but that a restored Empire, if the Empire
be restored, will now plead Republican au-
thority for its Draconic stringeucy. The
worst feature of the discussion was that even
the Liberals seemed to think but little of the
great question they we're discussing, while they
thought much Of the personalities of recrimina.

THE INDIAN wAR.


WASHINGTON, D. c., July 22.---General
Sherman says that all the available troops
in the north and west have been ordered
to the Indian country, and that the num-
Der will be amply sufficient to defeat sthe
hostile tribes He does not believe, how
ever, that the Indian question can be set
tied until the government enters upon the
pelicy of deprivinC the Indians of their
ponies, and compelling them to go on foot.
When this is done, the Indians will be
comparatively powerless, and those upon
their reservations will never venture to
leave them to go upon the war path. In
regard to the reported death of Sitting
Bull, General Sherman says it will make
but little difference whether it is true OF
not, as the Indians have fully twenty a:
capable warriors to command them in cast
of battle.

No general estimates can give an
idea Of the constantly increasing bur
den of the system Of government
which exists here. The facts must
be seen in detail to be understood
and appreciated. With the country
poorer thanit ever was before and
groaning under the weight of unjust
taxes, with Congress making reduc-
tons of expenses for years past in
obedience to the demands and the
necessities of the people, we see the
departments and the bureaus contin-
ually increasing their expenditure
and continually demanding more
money for the not ve.v faithful dis
charge of very ordinary duties. No
reform will amount to anything
which does not go through these
nests Of red tape and corruption with
the newest and stiffest kind of broom.
Grantism, like a cancer, has sent his
poisonous roots through our whole
administrative system. The interest
on the public debt, which was $780,
COCOON the fiscal year 1868, has
fallen to sl03,0O0,000 in 1876, and
this includes in addition, the inter-
est on the Pacific railroad bonds, but

the fiscal year 1876 were $4,000.

pie desire to select their ablest and
best men to represent them in peace

expect the South to ignore their great
men and natural leaders and elect
unknown, inferior men, who were
too weak to be chosen leaders in war
or too cowardly TO serve as such?

no pretence that they are not now
