A Decision That Takes 81, 600, OOS From

Washington, October "a. The decision of
Attorney-General Devens, overriding a
former decision of his, in which he now de-
cides that banks, in making up their state
ments for taxation, may deduct the amount
invested in United States bonds, including
the premium as well as face value, is excit-
ing much discussion at the Treasury De-

have the effect to take at least 50, OOO, 900
out of the Treasury.

THE CLOSING CHAPTER-It may now
be said that the closing chapter of Mr.

contest Of 1S76-77 has been written.
Hon. Henry Watterson, Of the Louisville
Courier Journal who opened the controyer.
sy by charging deception against Mr.. Hew-
lit, published last week Mr.. Marbles
vindication of Mr. Tilden, and supple.
mented it with a double-leaded editorial
entitled "a Chapter of Unwritten Histo-
ry." If anything were wanting to further
vindieate Mr.. Tilden against the charge
of Indifference and cowardice, after the
letter of Mr.. Marble, it is found in Mr..
WattersOn editorial. Mr.. Tilden, it will
be remembered, as reported by Mr. Mar
bic, favored fighting the contest upon the
Constitution and presidents, to overthrow
which the conspirators would have to re-
sort to open treason and usurpation. In
that event he claimed that the House OF
Representatives would have the power to
elect, sand, said Mr.. Tilden, according to
Mr.. Watterson, who speaks from personal
knowledge, ''if they elect me, will 20 to
Washington and take the oath of Office il
am shot for it the next day" This as
sertion shows that Mr.. Tilden possessed
all the courage the times demanded, and
would not have been found wanting under
the most trying circumstances.

The WHIPPING PosT.-The proposition to
re establish the whipping poss for certain
class OF offences seems TO be growing into
favor in some quarters. When little Della
ware was the only State in which the whip
ping post was made TO do service in the
administration Of justice it was frequently
referred to as the last relic OF a barbarous law.
But circumstances alter cases. Virginia has
adopted it for certain crimes, and now We
find the New York san iuquiring if "a sound
lashing would not be eiieclua'' in stopping
the street robberies, accompanied by assaults
Of the person, that have been so frequent of
late in New York and the suburbs OF Brook
lyn. 1t is suggested that the New York
Legislature be asked to pass a severe logging
law for such cases, and reference is made to
the revival of the whipping post in England
few years ago. 1t was in consequence of gar
roting, which became alarmingly frequent.
that most stringent aogging law was enact
ed, and in less than six months this STYLE of
robbery went entirely out of favor with the
roughs. 1t has long been a question as to
whether or not fogging should be inflicted
as penalty for wife beating, and we believe
that public sentiment generally regards this
form of punishment as none too severe for so
dastardly an oifense.-BGltimore Sun.

Our Indian Policy.

The best policy for the red men of our
forests, paradoxical though it may seem.
would be to have no policy at all. In
other words TO abolish all laws wkich now
exist in relation to them, abandon the a
gencies, make no appropriations whatever
for the subsistence of the wild tribes upon
our frontiers, and save millions of dollars
annually squandcred or stolen BY sharpers
and traders under pretext of providing for
the Indians. These Indian appropriations
serve to maintain band of well-organized
thieves and plunderers who manage to alb
serb and appropriate to their own use the
greater part of what is intended for the
savages. We think it was Gen. Butler
who recommended that our present policy
towards the Indians be entirely abandon
ed that hardy and industrious men be
encouraged to occupy the public lands and
cultivate them that agricultural imple-
ments and arms and ammunition be pro-
vided for actual settlers; that the troops be
Withdrawn from the frontier and the set
tiers required to take care of themselves,
which they would be abundantly able TO
do. Let the Indians also have the priyi-
lege of becoming settlers, but all who will
not live in civilized communities and be-
come tillers of the soil should have no
government aid whatever If this plan
were adopted it would be the cheapest and
best solution of the Indian problem which
has yet been invented. There will be no
peace or permanent quiet on the frontier
so long as dollar is expended for their
support, or serves as an attraction for the
sharpers and plunderers who trade with
them. Treat them as the white men are
treated, throw them upon their own re-
sources, let them abandon the chase and a
life Of idleness and dependence on the
government, and let them as tiIlers of the
soil learn to dig their subsistence out of
the ground as the white men do. This
would break up Indian wars, save the lives
of our soldiers and the annual expense OF
our Indian appropriations, and break up a
gang of thieves who have subsisted upon
the Indian agencies and the Indian APP
preparations ever since the establishment
Of the present system.
