The Indians.

CHICAGO, May 3.-In conversation, regarding
the management of tho Indians, Gen. Crook
ssys:-In tho first place thore was not that
novelty in regard to disarming and unhorsing
ofIndans that people appeared to think. The
Indian fund foods and clothes these people and
supports them as wholly and entirely as though
thoy were infants. There al, between l4,OOO
and 1900 of them. General Crook spoke OF
them as being in complete idleness; they did
absolutely nothing but loaf about much rs a lot
of open-air paupers would. They have no arms
and do not hunt and, having no horses. thor
powers of locomotion arc limited. Tho proposed
change is to make the Indians work and to
change the character of tho support, and General
Crook saw no reason why tho Indians could not
make their own living.

A FLING AT VIRGINIA OFFICE SEEKERS
To speech before the Jackson Democratic As
ISOLATION of Washington. last Tuesday night,
Mr.. Allen said:-Thc President had in his in-
auguraI enunciated the doctrines of local self
government which was democratic principle
Tor which they had for years been contending,
and had carried out his policy 10 South Caro-.
lns audEIousiana, and to be consistent he
must carry out the same policy here. When
delegations from Virgins are calling on the
President and urging the appointment OF a
Virginian to District Office it WAS very proper
that we should be for home rule.

A BRIEF ABSENCE.

When appointed by the late Assembly as
delegate to the Presbyterian Council which
is to meet in Edinburgh, July I'd, there was
in our own mind hardly the least expectation
of being able to attend it. But since return
ing home from New Orleans, arrangements
have been made for that end, and We have
not only obtained LEAVE of absence from the
right quarter, but have been so much urged
from that and other directions, that it almost
amounts to positive injunction. And SO it
is that, almost before we knew it, .matters
were all settled for passage in the Bolivia,
one of the best steamers of the Anchor line,
and which sails from New York directly for
Glasgow on the 18th inst.
Whatever reluctance there may be in leav-
ing home at this time, when number of
matters might suitably claim some special at
tention, it is with sincere qualification this
opportunity is embraced (the only one likely
to present itself of obtaining even glimpse
of the old world. Then, too, the meeting in
Edinburgh will consist of the most widely
gathered representatives of Presbyterianism
the world has ever seen. In whatever light
it may be viewed, such convocation will be
invested with peculiar interest. Precisely
what influence it is to have, or precisely how
it will be exerted, is at present matter of
speculation. That it is not Church court,
but simply of the nature of committees from
50 many Churches to confer about matters of
common practical interest, is distinctly an
nounced by our Church as its understanding
of the constitution adopted by the Alliance;
nor has this Interpretation been objected to
from any quarter. Within this scope it may
90 on u8efully, if it is guided wisely. Should
rash counsels uuhappily prevail, (which it is
to be hoped will not be the case, it will
speedily come to confusion. If it is thing
pleasing to the Head of the Church, may we
not expect that in ways and by methods di-
rected by HiaJHoly Spirit, His holy Word,
and His holy Providence, it will be led into
plain path of duty and usefulness? To be
member of such Council may we'll be &C
counted as distinguished privilege; and, at
any rate, it may be fairly thought worth
something to have the opportunity of form
ing an independent judgment on the whole
matter by personal observation from an inte-
rior point of view.
We beg leave to say to brethren here who
may read this paper, that our brethren in
Scotland lin particular DR.. Duff request that
special prayer for the blessing of God upon
the meeting, shall be offered in our churches
on the Sabbath immediately preceding, viz:
on July 1st.

Fraternal Relations Between the Presbyte.
rian Churches North and South.

The Associate Reformed Presbyterian, of Due
West, S. O.. after giving the action Of both South
ern and Northern Assemblies says:
'Ths action settles for good long while, we
think, the relations between the two bodies. They
seem farther apart at present than before any ne
gotistions began.
We rejoice to believe that both of these bodies
as they now stand each one working entirely in its
own way, are doing great work for the cause of
Christ. They have Colleges and Theological Sem
inaries fully endowed and ably manned. They
have their mission work at home and abroad, pros
porous and full OF encouragement They have
many able, earnest and faithful ministers OF the
gospel, who in season and out Of season are praying
men to be reconced to God, and whose labors are
abundantly blessed. We need not then so much
lament that these negotiations have for the present
failed. When their work can be better done by co.
operation or union, we doubt not the way will be
opened up for it. Till then all other efforts in that
