General Sheridan's Annual Re.
UOro.

General Sheridan's annual report to the
General of the army sets forth at length
that the military force of his division is en-
tlreiy inadequate 10 perform It's duties lie
I says that no other army 10 the world has
such an amount oi work put upon the same
number of men. He deyotes a large Dor
ton OF his report TO discussion OF the In
dian question. and says that the present
situation is wholly unsatisfactory.
The Indian department, owing to want
OF SUFFICIENT appropriations or from wretch
ed acknowledgement. has gwen to the West
ern settlements constant anxiety during
the last year. Ii >eems with wise manage
ment that the amounts appropriated by
Congress ought to be sufficient il practi-
cally applied TO the exact purposes sreci-
he'd, and the supplies were regularly de-
livered. But the reports OF the regiment
commanders would indicate a different re-
SUIT, except in the ease of the Red Cloud
and Spotted Tail bands. who have been
best supplied and so humored that they
threaten TO bring about a breach OF the
peace. Sheridan saws that he had hoped
the agencies of these Indians would have
been retained on the Missouri but that this
would not have suited the traders and con
tractors, who have gained their point and
located the Indians on poor ground and ut
in'it ihacttesiulc poIut>. lie reviews the
condition OF the Indians ten years ago and
the causes leading TO their present unhappy
state, and adds that the outbreaks will GER
taiuly continue unless measures are adopt
ed to prevent them. Al the points where
there are Indians and agencies and at other
strategical points the number OF troops is
Insignificant. and ii outbreaks occur. a. he
fears they will, the consequence would be
appalling, and he wishes to warn the Gen
ersl OF the army that We have not half the
troops required 10 meet the anticipated
troubles.
He believes that kind treatment. admin
istered with steadlness and Justice. would
relieve our western frontier from all its APP
palling horrors arising from Indian out
breaks. With such treatment the Indians
can soon be made selfsupporting.
Sheridan thinks that It the Mexican gov
eminent fails to suppress lawlessncss, Con-
gress should pass an act declaring that If
depredations do not cease al a certain date
troops will be sent across the border and
kept there until the trouble ends.

The Great Election.

The heart of the people is sound. and the
country is saved from the worst Influences
that have threatened its peace and prosper
ity. Utterly refusing to yield an inch To
the mad cry for National dishonor and a
debauched and dishonest currency. the Re
publican party has fought its fight resting
on the everlasting rock OF principle and
has in the Move mber elections swept the
country. 1t has carried New York so
overwhelmingly that the returns revive
the memories OF the complete rout of De-
MIA does almost as we'll. New Jersey. an
brohenly Democratic for years has passed
over to the Republican side. Connecticut
does the same. Illinois comes up With two
or three more Congressman OIL the right
side, Wisconsin gains all over the State. and
Michigan wrestling with a Greenback
movement which claimed and expected to
elect three or four Congressman comes
trooping in among the victors, with thirty
thousand Republican majority and solid
Republican delegation in Congress which
she has not had for the last six years.
Nearer home-New Hampshire goes
solid the right way, gaining one Congress
man. and Massachusetts with mighty
throe puts down at once and forever, both
Butlerism and Greenbackism.
1t is all so good that it is hard to believe
it all true. We expected triumphs in most
of these States, but not by such great and
decisive msjorities.
1t was plainly TO be seen that our reverse
in Maine had aroused Republicans every
where, and that the Greenback movement
which was so mischievous here was hurt
ing US little in other States, but ii could
not be foreseen how completely the people
would stamp out the fallacies and absurd
tiles, which for the day took such hold of
our people. Next year the people of Maine
will have the chance 10 show that on re-
Election they are not one step behind the
column. The State cannot afford to halt
or fall out of line, when the march has been
taken up which will surely end in the great
Republican victory of 1850.
Standing black and frowning amid the
clear light Of all these successes is seen at
last the "solid South" Everywhere else
the rout OF the modern democracy is unre-
lieved. There the shot gun, the red coats
OF Wade Hampton, the bulldozers and
butchers of Louisiana, have done their
work, and have saved. if it is saved, the
Democratic House of Representatives.
When that House comes together, this dis
loyal and desperate influence will claim
and get its reward in an undisputed con-
troll of the Democratic side
Hateful. hideous as is the spectacle Of
one half OF the Republic carried by fraud
violence and murder, it is well that at last
our people see that it is so.
Once before the northern people have
taken southern disloyalty and southern
usurpatisn sternly in hand. The Novem
wall, aud show what a rapidly uniting
NORTH will do when the ultimate neet
arises.

Ing altogether, that would he regulation
common to all, but even the Newfoundland
Legislature would hardly pretend that it
was not violation of the treaty. II Is pos
sible that the laws which the Fortune Bay
fishermen are said to have broken were
wise laws; it is no doubt true that the fish
cries ought to be protected against destruc-
tive methods of catching; but Mr.. Evarts
very properly maintains that rules aud lin
