All this the army officer can do. and do
with ease the common Indian agent cannot
do it at ALL because he has neither the
knowledge nor the training necessary for
such work. He is not q civilizer; the
army officer is. Nor would it be i'm
possible to use Indians thus trained
to fight hostile bands if there should be
an outbreak But it is very doubtful if we
should ever have another Indian war If the
Indians were once assigned to the control
and management of army officers. The tes-
timony of all intelligent men who have had
personal knowledge of the management OF
the Indians is favorable TO the plan Of
placing them under thee control of the
army We trust this matter will be
brought up once more in the next
Congress. The last Congress came very
near removing the Indian Bureau to the
War Department. The measure failed be-
cause of the bitter opposition Of the Indian
Ring, assisted by few ignorant philanthro-
pists. It's failure was q great misfortune

Our special despatch from Paris tells of
the wedding of Miss Gertrude King and Mr..
Eugene Schuyler. The lady is one Of the
daughters of the lato Charles King, Of this
city, formerly president of Columbia College,
and has been an esteemed member Of what is
known in the gayest Of capitals as the
American colony. MIR. Schuyler is Secre-
tary OF Legation at Constantinople, was
Secretary OF Legation at st. Petersburg for
number of years, and if there were such n
thing Us real civil service system in our
country would be assuredly regarded for his
capacities and successes as rising man in
the diplomatic yorld. But he is the sort OF
man whom even the absence Of civil service
will scarcely keep down. He has, within
few years. had literary successes that are
graceful and substantial additions to the
honor and good repute gained as the repre-
sentative Of his government abroad. But
all his successes hitherto gained must
yield the palm for brilliancy to that
celebrated by the marriage bells yesterday.
1t is pleasant to find, as by this instance,
that all the handsome and distinguse Ameri-
can women who make their homes in Paris
are not determined to marry only counts,
but that q handsome and determined fellow
countryman may enter the lists on equal
terms with many titled rivals. Mrs. Schuyler
possesses no small amount of courage to be
ready at time like the present to change
her residence from Paris TO Constantinople !;
for, though it is scarcely to be supposed
that the legations would be violated in any
disturbance in the city or that there would
not be men-of-war handy on which to take
refuge, there will doubtless be in that
deeply excited capital ere long many I'M
pleasant emergencies short of actual insur-
rection.

The opinion of the Corporation Counsel
on the powers and duties of the police in
relation to the sale of liquor in the city puts
great responsibility on the Police Commits
sioners. 1t is held that the law is clear and
decisive that no liquor can be sold to be con-
sumcd on the premises by any person not
keeping bona .fde inn, tavern or hotel Lii
censes may be granted to innkeepers, tavern
keepers and hotel keepers to sell wines and
liquors to be drunk on the premises and to
no other persons. The sale OF ale and beer
may be licensed, and the sale of liquors in
less quantities than five gallons, to be car
ried away by the purchaser. But if the po-
lice find liquor sold and drunk on premises
other than an inn, tavern or hotel they are
bound to arrest the offender The Excise
Commissioners, however, grant licenses for
saloons under the most shallow pretences
that they are Sims" thus countenancinr
and legalizing, as it were, the evasion Of the
law. The question is whether the police,
knowing such places not to be inns or tav-
ems, arc at liberty to arrest the proprietors
for violation of the Excise law under the
dispensers of which they hold regular

But here is piece of news which is not

Thereupon he very naturally sent in to

his resignation as member of that body,
But the secretary, it seems, is Acting Sec
rotary of the Treasury Mccormick,
and he took Mr.. Filley's resigna-
ton to the President-why, we are
at loss to know, for Mr.. Filley did
not resign the Postmastership. And the
President is now reported to decide that
Postmaster Filley may remain member Of

will be very greatly surprised; but not more
than the public in general, we suspect.
Some people will begin to say presently
that 1T is only a shower, after all,

he is either going to divorce the civil service
from politics or save the republican party
by allowing postmaster to remain a mem

To-Day's Great Sculling Mate
Which Will Whit

1t is almost certain that the amateur sculler
has not yet arisen in this country who, should
he contend with the two who row this
afternoon on Greenwood Lake. could finish
within hundred feet, perhaps not hum
dred yards, of either of them. 1t is equally
probable that no amateur scaling race ever
before awakened such deep attention here
among rowing men. Each participant has
earned for himself nm enviable reputation
for straightforward, manly dealing and
for uncommon prowess with the sculls and
whenever they have met the fight has been so
close that no man can surely name the win
ner of to-day's terrible struggle, for nothing
short of that will it beat least for the first
two miles. Each is six feet high and each
very much used to his work. But Riley is
not thoroughly well built man, being Of
spare habit, like the taller Ward, and not
heavy enough for his height, while his an
tagonist is man of magnificent develop
ment and power, yet not in the least un-
wieldy, and both have great pace and
stay. If Riley leads well up the outstretch
it will be no surprise for he pulls with
more dash and fire than almost any other
oarsman in the world. But, though he is
claimed to be rowing in markedly improved
form, yet it is hardly safe from that alone to
write him down the winner when his antag-
onist has thus far beaten him each time
he tried But whichever wins, great as
Courtney's power is and wonderful as is his
mighty grip of the Water at each of his slow
strokes, there is no question that, unless he
has improved his style much since the Cen
tennial races, he does not yet apply all his
power as effectively rs he might and as he
will discover that he might should Riley
now row him down. If the Inter loses as
he probably will, that fact, taken with
the professional, Plaisted's, pending clal-
lengc will lend force to the story that once
at Greenwood Lake last season the latter
beat him in friendly threc-quarter mile
spin.

The Returning Board Address the
Herald.

neI8Aus
We print elsewhere letter to the HERALD
from the members of the Louisiana Return
ing Board, in which they complain that
they have not been fairly dealt with by the
law officers in New Orleans, and that the
nature of the prosecution begun against
them is not understood in the North. The
Grand Jury, they say, refused to indict
them, and when it would not return
true bill the District Attorney filed an in
formation, on which they have been held
for trial. They add what seems a stronger
point, that this presentment Of the District
Attorney was held back until the court was
about to adjourn to October; and they
charge that this was done purposely in or
der that they, the accused, might for ninety
days rest under the charges without having
opportunity to show their innocence. The
information was filed, they say, on the 18th
of June, but was not issued until just as the
court was about to adjourn.
1t is impossible to have much respect
for the members of the Returning Board,
butthey have right to fair and speedy
IAiui, WIZ - phSy b"'O SriiN>'Ay ''"sSA
the circumstances above recited we must
say that they have been unfairly treated.
The extremists VINO are pushing this
matter--in opposition, as the interviews
reported by the HERAip's New Orleans
correspondent show, to the best citizens of
themselves. if their conduct shall persuade
the public that they are engaged in carry
ing out piece of petty political spite.
Our correspondent reports Governor
Nichols, Major Burke, Mr.. John Phelps.
formerly President of the Cotton Ex-
change; Nh. Townsend, chairman Of the
Board of Brokers; Ex-Governor McEnery,
Congressman Ellis and Ex-Governor
Penn, all democrats, as all concurring in
the belief that the movement against the
Returning Board is unwise detrimental to
the best interests of the State, tending to
revive political animosities and excitement.
and of no practical use. They are right
Louisiana needs rest from politics. The
people need time and quiet to repair their
fortunes and re-establish their indus
RAOSSONt-
ings against the Returning Board have
stirred up old hatreds which were dying
out, and have revived spirit which cannot
help but injure the State in many ways.
But the whole movement is plainly the
fruit of quarrel between the Bourbons and
the moderate wing of the party in power in
the State as we have shown before. The
extremists care less to punish Wells and
Anderson than to annoy Governor Nichols
and the conservative and moderate men. II
they had not found this way of making their
opposition felt they would have used some
other And while the immediate result upon
the interests of the State cannot help but be
unhappy, the final consequence-a perma-
nent break in the democratic organization
will be highly beneficial. That, it seems to us,
is assured. There will be two white parties
in Louisiana at the next election; and we do
not doubt that when this happens the ex-
tremists will be badly beaten at the polls.

TIE WoRKINGMEN who have hitherto placed
their money in the savings banks are, according
to a member of the Syndicate, investing in the
fifty and one hundred dollar four per cent bonds,
which is, of course, the very best thing they can

sure. One of the great mistakes in our financial
policy has been in placing the government bonds
beyond the reach of the working classes.

Supreme Court Judge.

A Judge of the Supreme Court is to
be elected on the first Tuesday in
April The preaent excellent Judge,
Hon. VIM. Penn Lyon, is candidate
for reelection. He has been called
out by the members of the bar without
distinction of party, and the people
seem to acquiesce in the nomination
There can be no doubt but it is wise
to e.elect Judge Lyon. He has
proved himself an able and conscien-
tious Judge; he is pure and upright
man; he holds the scales of Justice
without favor and in all respects dis.
charges admirably the duties of a
Judge of this high court. His expe-
rience is of much value to the people,
and we presume he will be elected
without opposition. No candidate
has yet been placed in the field
against him. Notwithstanding this is
the case, let no friend of Judge Lyon
fail to vote for him. 1t will encour-
age him in his efforts to do well, to re
ceive the endorsement of full vote.
A Judgeship is an important office to
fill, and Judge Lyon fills it well. Let
him receive full vote in every town
in the State for a reelection. Slate
