THE TRANSFER OF THE INDIANS.

At the first session of the present
Congress a bill passed the House OF
Representatives to transfer the Indian
Bureau from the Department of the
Interior to the War Department. The
bill was pigeonholed in the Senate. It's
friends. however, succeeding in getting
q resolution passed By that body ap
pointing joint committee of Senators
aud Representatives. to sit during the
recess of Congress and investigate the
Indian question and report their find
ings at this session of Congress. That
committee passed over the Central
Pacific Railroad a short time ago osten-
siby on the way to Oregon. to get facts
relative to the cause of the Bannock war
aud about the treatment of Indians at
reservations. but really on pleasure
trip to the Pacific Coast. At San
Francisco the members were dined and
wined by men who were probably in
terested in the result of their mission,
and instead of going to Oregon. as an
nOunced, they examined a few wit
nesses. took several free rides, eat
many free dinners, and of course drank
much free wine, and then returned
east as ignorant of the Indian situa.
ton as when they came west. That
joint committee is nov in session
ut Washington. and upon the report
which it will shortly make to Con-
gress depends the fate of the SET
Tiers on the frontier. If the Indians
are transferred to the War Department,
there will probably be no more Indian
wars. as the Indians will then get what
the Government allows them, and that
b generally sufficient to satisfy them.
If not, the Indian Agents will continue
to cheat them as they did in Idaho and
Eastern Oregon last summer, another
Indian outbreak will follow. and set.
ilers will be murdered and the frontier
again desolated.
A fierce war is now being waged at
Washington between the Interior and
War Departments over, the proposed
transfer. The members of the Indian
ring, backed by the sentimentalists and
the pious, who labor under the delu.
sion that Indians are being Christian
izad at reservations, are. doing all in
their power to prevent the transfer,
while General Sherman and others on
behalf of the War Department are urg-
rag that the change be made, and that
the army shoulS9be transferred to the
Exterior Department. or the Indians to
bic War Department.
The settlers on the frontier are all ip
taVor of the transfer. but although their
kves aud the safety of their property
depend to a great extent upon the re.
salt. their wishes are nota consulted in
settling the question by the joint Com.
mission.

MORE DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN rurrrs

Another attempted depreciation upon the
Government by the Democratic Congress
siOnal Committee has been discovered. We
have before us pamphlet copy OF BLACK
BURN'S champion lie and fraud, which the
Democratic Congressional Committee arc
attempting TO smuggle through the mails
free Of postage, Is matter from the COHyr,s.
siVnm R,ryrd, when it has never been any
part of that publication, aud the committee
know it, The document itself is typo
graphic dciormity, on each page of which
the word rat is impressed in the shabby
aud uncouth character of the work But
that is the least OF this attempted fraud. II
the character of the printing furnished by
the contractor Is satisfactory TO the commit
tee, we have nothing to do with it, except to
deprecate such an abuse of the topographic
art.
We have, however, something to do with
the general theft that the Democratic Con-
upon the Government. 1t plumbers its rent
gas, clerk hire, and stationery from the
Government, and q portion Of its ready
money from the contingent fund of the
House Of Representatives. And this steal
does not crafty their insatiate greed. They
attempt to smuggle their nefarious matter
through the mails free, thus adding another
to the list of their shameless depredations
This act cannot be justified, except by the
fact that II forms one of series of out.
RACES that cannot be omitted without i'm.
pairing the whole structure, and hence the
theft must be prosecuted TO the end Of the
chapter, 1t is that old style of Democracy

REPUBLICAN GREESBACKs,

The Republican party all over the coun-
try has declared IN favor of greenbacks and
against the Greenbackcrs. In other words
it acknowledges, and is proud of the fact,
that it is the author Of our greenback sys-
TEN, and repudiates all attempts to destroy
the integrity of its own progeny. 1t will
continue the grcenback as q convenient cir
culating medium, and will see to it that it
represents something solid while 1t remains
in circulation. In short, ii is for redeem
able greenbacks and against iIrcdcemable
fiat scrip, no matter what the latter may
be called. Its battle in the present cam
pagn is therefore pointedly directed against
the sham cheap money Of which the dema-
gOgues pTate so much, the same as il j.
against the sham patriotism Of which the
BorbOun COnfcdcratcs boast so much. As
the party Of public integrity and intrepid
devotion to the honor and dignity OF the
General Government, it could do no less
than this. But, in the especial matter of the
finances, and its opposition to cheap money
or irrcdecmable scrip, it is interesting to
note its consistent adherence TO the eX.
pcrienCed views Of the greatest financial
authorities Of the past Insofar us ii is con.
sistent in this regard, its opponents are
Numerically opposed to those views. Long
ago DANIEL WEBSTER said of irredecmable
money:
OF all the cOntrivances for cheating tn,
lsbOring classes Of mankind, none have been
more chectual that which deludes them with
Il l. . 4 =
ventions for fertilizing the rich mans field by
the sweat Of the poor mans brow. Ordinary
tyranny, oppression, excessive taxation bcRI
lightly on the masses Of the community, com,
pared with the fraudulent curTencies and the
robbcrics committed by deprecated paper
money. We have suffered more from thi,
cause than from any other cause or calamity
1t has killed more men, pervaded and cor
rupted the choicest interests of our country
more, and done more injustice than even the
arms aud artiices of our enemy.
II will be noticed that Mr. WEBsTEI
here refers to deprecated paper money
exactly the kind that fiat scrip would b,
and no other. Were he alive to-day h,
won Id repeat this sterling admOnition ant
make it applicable, not to the greenbacl
proper, but to the bogus iat rags will
which the laundering theorists and unprin
cipled demagogues of the present day ar,
attempting to delude the people. His por
| trayal of the evil effects of tho system was
in view Of the later experience Of the South
ep Coniederacy with its worthless gray
backs, bit Of prophecy. But he was not
alone In his estimate Of these evils. Tho
experience of ages and Of older countrie,
than ours sustained him. Lord MACAULEY

THE charge is made that Senator BLAINE
is pushing the GRANT movement, with the
aid of the New York Tribune, believing
that no man can be nominated for q third
term. 1t is hardly probable that this is
true, although the Tribune has announced
its Willingness to support General GRANT
in the event of his nomination. But,
whether it is true or not, Senator BLAINE
is entitled to the thanks of good Republi-
cans everywhere for his efforts to heal dis
sensions in the party. Out Of the assinine
skull Of KEARSEy came the wise advice to
the workingmen, which should be accepted
by the Republicans: "Pool your issues" II
that is what Mr.. BLAINE is doing. and we

ing ticket equal to the demands of the
times.
