Yesterday was devoted to decorating the

the National Capital. These rites are the
offspring of patriotism and becoming re-

semi-barbarian, who lives in the midst of
culture and refinement. without sympathy

tribute Of patriotic and iIaternal respect

to the homes of the dead-thesc floral
tributes to II sef.sacrticing patriotism and
herOism, are reminders of the dread scenes
OF fratricidal war and the great cost Of pre-

Transferring tho Indians.

To he EtdOr ofh Nd.ionai Republican,:
sir: There Is serious apprehension IN the minds
OF many friends Of the Indian that the Senate may
concur In the action Of the House. transferring the
Indians from the Interior to the War Department
This fear Is chiefly based upon the fact that the
present Secretary OF the Interior Is not very popu-
lar with large number of Senators, and the-pdd.
tional fact the present Commissioner OF Indian
Affairs has made himself still more unpopular
than his chief not only with Senators but with al.
most or quite every else who have come in con-
tact with him officially I have II from good au-
thorlty that Senators have threatened to support
the transfer bill rs means OF getting rid Of Com
missioner Hoyt I have also heard friends Of the
peace policy say they were willing to zee any
change rather than endure his arrogance and in

urge Senators and all Others to consider this
question aside from any opinion they may

This sage declaration is applied by our
morning contemporary to aspirants for honor
upon the lecture platform, and is harmless
in that application. But the idea that shot
gun arguments are convincing is good
one, worthy of general application even
down in Mississippi, for example. At pres

those who paid tribute to the noble braves
yesterday are rcyiled by those who SYM
pathizc with their slaughterers more ihan

Over the graves Of the patriot dead they

1t is but recently that revolution has
barred its hated front at the National Cap
ital to insult loyalty, patriotism, and devo-
tion to the national integrity. Since the
House of Representatives raised the flag Of
revolution the parasites of rebellion begin
to put on an air of insolence and defiance
that two .ears ago they would no more
have dared to do than to have performed
the act of hdrikdri in front of the Capitol.
The signs of the times are ominous The
spirit of revolution that turks in our midst
warns of coming trouble. Frcshcr graves of
those who died in defending the national
integrity may call for tributes of respect and
affection from survivors at no distant

CONTINUlNU our researches into the un-
explored realms of Senior JUDAS IsCARIoTs
history, we find that this eminent Greaser,
after receiving his thirty pieces of silver for
trying to MexicaniZe the Christian world
attempted to return them to the PELToNs,
kEI.LEYs, or GoBBLEs of the occasion, from
whom he had received them. Failing in
this attempt, he threw the accursed coins at
them-in their faces so to speak. Nothing
daunted these ancient Grcasers like
unto No .ERY BLAIR in his character,
for example, picked the thirty pieces up and
they were soon thereafter used in purchas-
ing from one oi hombre poTTERo, q Greascr of
low degree, certain plat of ground, in
which paupers and criminals were thereac-
ter buried, and which became known as the
Field of Blood or the Pott"r's Field 1t is
to be hoped no confusion Of tegui, will fol-
low from this explanation, and that it will
be remarked that our modern Potter's
Field is DAVID DUDLEY FIELD, or his
brother, Associate Justice FIELD, either of
whom could he bought for less than thirty
pieces of anything. But somehow this

There must be and is reason for all this

edly incompetent attempt ut legislation and

The secret is no secret at ALL Without any
strong personal attachment to President
HAYES, with even feeling that he has
tossed aside his better opportunities, with q
knowledge that his Cabinet is not Republi-
can in the true sense, with the hard and
sane sense that he has been willing to pay
more for peace than peace is worth, there
remains a sure conviction dirt his title to
the Presidency cannot be broken. 1t in
wolves the honor of the party and Mr.. PoT-
TER will find that every Republican in the
land will be ready to accept his wager of
battle, and that all the business interests of
the country will sustain the party in its
action. The calm rests upon the courage,
true, deliberate purpose to sustain the title
of President HAYES in hamlet, in city, in
State, and in the nation. Mr.. POTTER may
Us well accept that outrdnce.
His letter to the Reverend Nobody con-
tains the usual poodle-dog mistake of the
Northern Democrat. 1t supposes that there
are two classes of fools who are not fools
One is that the South is hungry for more
war-as If they had not had enough of it.
The other folly is to imagine that the North,
reluctant as it is, would not put on the har-
ness again and do most of its fighting close
by home. The Republican party is brave,
steadfast, unwilling, but heroic. 1t holds
into 1t all the stronger interests of the ma
tion and all its better resources. If Mr..
POTTER chooses to challenge it he will find
allied against him all the sober sense of the
South, all the determined purpose of the
North, and resolution to have no revolu-
ton, that will astonish him. He thinks he
has lawsuit on hand. 1t is a revolution,
and he will roll under.

almost been forgotten. The elector was
colored man named NASH He was offered
$4,000 cash down to vote for TILDEN, and n
sum of $4,000 more to be paid when TILDEN
had been inSEunted to he President. We
call the especial attention of the POTTER
committee to these facts. They have never
hsen fully investigated, although the FIELD
committee in the Forty-fourth Congress
tampered and dawdlcd over them with
trembling fear lest the truth Should be cx-
posed. The man CLARK, WHO is said to
have been the direct agent in this attempted
bribery, pretended to be sick at the time
and did not appear as a witness. BY all
means let CLARK and NASH be called. We
will get something ncr out of them, and as
