We could hardly have been more astonished than when. during the past year, one of their own chiefs, through the columns Of our lead ing national revlew, made statement of thelr causes of complaint.
 The facts as presented, compel us seriously to inquire if the system which has been and now is followed in relation to this people is at all worthy of our government. We have mo- where seen sharper arraignment of our exist ing policy than that made by the Hon. J. D. Cox, of Ohio, former Secretary of the Inte- rior, in an article in last months International Review. Gov. Cox is known as an able law yer, and discreet and practical statesman The high positions of official trust which he has held, and the business experience which he has had, secure hlm from the charge of hav- ing no knowledge of practical affairs.
 Bishop Whlpple may be patronized or scoffed at because he is a clergyman, and Chief Joseph may be hootcd into silence because he is an Indian; but such an objection will hard ly be against the views of man who, like Gen. Cox, has not only achieved distinction in military and civil life, but has himself had this great matter in charge as chief of the very Department now administered by Secretary Schurz. The extent and accuracy of his in- formation could only have been attained by the most careful and painstaking effort.
 The Indiansare considered the original propri- etors of the soil; asenttled to rights guaranteed them by our most solemn obligations as the weaker parties to contract with the stronger, keenly sensitive to injustice and quick to retaliation. Instances are gwen of the wrongs which have been pcrpetrated by settlers the frontier that cannot fail to shock the feelings of civilized community The means which have been taken in some instances to drive the Indians from their reservations would do credit to the sanctimonious craft of a Cortez or Pizzaro. It is quite beyond our comprehension how such systematic fraud and injustice has been so long and so quietly &C., quiesed in by our government. We believe it to be, however, sign of the most hopeful promise that such men as Gov Cox. and Sec retary Schurz are giving this matter such care full and earnest consideration We trust we are near the beginning of better things and that this disgrace will soon be plotted from the pages of our history.

The Indian Question.

It has doubtless not been forgotten that Sec retary Schurz, to whose department the h. dian Bureau is annexed, was some time since invited by the Chief of one of the tribes on 8 reservation to visit their encampment, and learn from a personal inspection the manner in which the affairs of the government were administered there. The invitation was promptly accepted, and the 30th of August fixed as the time agreeable to the Secretary to honor this hospitality. Gen. Schurz is now absent from Washington on that proposed visit.
 We shall look with much interest for the re- suit of Secretary Schurz' observations there. We believe that he has given us sufficient req son heretofore to believe that whatever mat ter he attempts to consider will be dealt with in thorough and statesmanlike manner. He has already been before the public on the sub- ject of the management of the Indian affairs, and the way in which he then treated the question showed how keenly alive he was to it's importance and we have no doubt that the impressions which he will receive from this interview will be of great advantage to- wards the settlement of this vexed question. Indeed the thorough examination of the h. dian side of the Indian question seems to be l the first step to the correct solution of the problem. The Indian himself seems to have been strangely left out of sight in any arrange ment of terms between them and us.
 Bishop Whipple, whose labors in behalf of this people entitle hlm to speak authoritatively, has caused DO littlesurprise by the presentations of fact which he has from time to time made, not only concerning the people themselves, but concerningour treatment of them. There have been others, also, who have brought out much interesting and surprising evidence on this ! subject. ,s.F3aoag et 53s

It seems that the iron factories of the coun- try are specially busy. A short time ago the government, being in need of material for the completion of the Navy Department Building, sent out circulars to the large iron manufac- turies asking for proposals. Those in charge of tEe building were surprised to hear from 8 majority of the firms addressed that their pri- vate orders were already so numerous that it would be impossible for them to supply the desIred material within the time mentioned. Such thing has not happened for many years, and in fact it is very doubtful whether it has ever occurred before.

Admiral Ammen, who took prominent part in the Paris Darien Canal Congress, has returned to this country, and takes very strong ground against the plan adopted. He says the whole result had been arranged in advance, and that the pretended survey of Lieut.. Wyse was complete sham. The majority, swayed by the urgent appeals of M. Lesseps, was overbalanced in everything but numbers by the opposition. He is strenuous for the Nicar- auguan route, and thinks that with a capital of $70, GOO, 900 and Gen.

Mir. Roscoe Conkling has succeeded in fore ing the nomination of Cornell for Governor of New York. He made it personal matter; the custom house is no longer a political en- zine; the postmasters are no longer subject to dictation from Washington; consequently we have another administration defeat" to re- cord, simply because the government will not use the power of its patronage to punish its personal enemies It is not little curious to note the talk of the political press on thls sub- ject. Conkling is admired for the vigor with which he manages the machine" in his own personal interest and to the manifest disadvan- tage of his party. On the contrary the Ad- ministration is ridiculed for not using the very means for victory which the platform on which Mir Hayes was elected, pledged him notto use. Such is the morality of politics
