THE remark Of Piah, the Ute chief,
to Gov. McCook, that great warriors never
work but ought to be supported in laxiness by
the labor Of others. may excite 3 smile, yet the
view expressed BY the uncivilized Indian Is on
par with that Of many people, who appear to
think that Grant, on the ground Of his military
record, has perpetual claim TO the office of
President, to the exclusion Of others who made

that abolition be carried far enough 10 liberats
all their slaves who have reached the age OF
sixty years. In other words, they propose that
the old negro who has devoted the vigor Of
youth and the mature strength Of manhood 10
the service Of his master shall now be turned
loose to stsrve, while the grown-up children Of
the aged freedmen are 10 be kept in bondage,
and thus prevented from contributing TO the
support Of their parents. A negro who has
tofled almost from infancy until his sixtieth
year on Cuban plantation can be Of but little
use to his owner, whose evident duty il would
