A RUSSIAN WALL
From the 81, Petersburg News;

A great mistake has been committed, and
its consequences most painful not for the honor
of our troops who lost nearly one fourth of their
bravest warriors before giving away, but for the
further progress of the campaign and for the whole
Russian nation, which is now weeping over the
loss of thousands of It's bravest and best sons whose
lives might have been spared by little more cir
eumspectlon and ability on the part of the COM
mhndcrs. But do not let us despair! Do not let
us for moment forget that II these our brethren
breach that every one OF us Is ready to die rather
than give way one inch In the maintenance of
what we consider To he the honor and welfare Of
Oilr country

SOME Of the Southern papers complain Of
the Government for not giving that section
better postal facilities II should he remem-
bercd that this cannot be done until Congress
meets, for the appropriations made at the last
session were entirely inadequate for properly
carrying on this branch Of the service. The
Administration will adopt the recommenda-
ton Of the recent Southern Postal Convention,
and urge Congress to make the necessary ap-
preparations for carrying them out.

THE suggestion Of making the District Of
Columbia separate diocese Of the Catholic
Church seems to be favombly received by that
denomination throughout the country. Inas-
much as the result of that measure would be
the erection of cathedral here which would
rival the great structures in Europe Of 4 sim

carried out, in order that this city may be en-
bellished by 6rst-class specimen Of church

IT HAS been questioned as to whether the
policy Of making treaties with the Indians
should not be abandoned. They are in every
respect the subjects Of the National Govern
ment, and in no way to be dealt with as inde-
pendent powers. However, two-thiris Of the
treaties which have been made with them have
been fraudulent impositions upon the tribes.
from which designing white men have gained
more than the Indians. II would be far better
to treat them rs wards and subjects and protect
their rights by wise code of laws. We have
too many treaties already, and they will only
embarrass the Government In its future deal
ings with this race, which must he considered
as subjected one, subject entirely to our will.
