GENERAL SHERMAN saws that what is
termed the Indian policy has been too
much under the control of politicians
and their agents. Had the policy of the
Indians peace commission, adopted in
the winter of 1867, been stuck to and
carried out in good faith, as recommend
ed by the commission, the problem would
now be solved. While the commission
was on the Missouri river, in conference
with the Sioux tribes, General Terry,
one of the commission, offered a resolu-
ton. which met with unanimous approx
al, that it was bad policy to make any
more Indian treaties-which meant that
the Indian should be held amenable 10
the laws of the country, and be punished
like any other citizen, when convicted
of an offense. This is the only safe pol
lev, and had it been accepted as the pol
icy of the government, good deal OF
trouble and annoyance would have been
averted.

IHE other day the Figaro published
concise account of the doings of the
commune, and estimated the amount of
property destroyed in Paris during the
short reign of the Instruction at about
fS5,cOo,OOO. This morning the Figaro
announces that it has struck off 500,0O0
copies of the number containing this &C
count, which copies are to be circulated
In the provinces. On the other side, NJ.
Emile de Girardin has drawn up an &C.
count of the cost of the two Empires,
which he estimates at % milliards, or
Sl,O00,O0O, 900. The war of 1870 alone
cost II, 300, 900, 900 fr., and it is we'll to
remember that NJ Emile de Girardin was
the most ardent advocate of that war.
In work which he recently published
he admitted this, and said, " this confess
sion is my atonement;" which is very
Jaunty manner of getting out of great
political fault which he now lays on the
shoulders of the second Empire.
