Another sentiment existing among Repub.
licans Is the basis of the movement for placing
GRANT for the third time at the head of the
party in national canvass We think that
this project is very far from being weak in the
number of its supporters; but tEe trouble is
that the people are afraid of GRANT on account
of the men who were his personal friends dur
ing his former administrations. The memory
of the BELENAP aud RoBEsoN scandals and the
association of GRANT with those men and
SHEPHERDS ring in Washington is still fresh
in the popular mind.--Bottimore Ahericah.
We take the liberty of suggesting to our
venerable cotcmporary that it is scarcely
outside the line Of judicious criticism for it
to anticipate popular sentiment and pur-
pose with prejudced Judgment, or for it
TO seize upon the dirty weapons of the
Democrats with which to assail General
GRANT or ex-Secretaries BELKSAP and
robson. Ii the people want General
GRANT they will have him, and the 1meri-
ran can no more prevent it than II can i'll

WHAT TO DO wITu THE INDIAN.

The Indian problem is becoming more
and more difficult Of solution. II has be-
come somewhat complicated and preiudiced
by the recent conduct Of the army at Fort
Robinson, for those who have looked to the
War Department as an alternative resort to
secure to the Indians their rights in a larger
degree than at present enjoyed have called
q halt in that direction in view of the
butcheries of the Cheyennes. The Indians
are entitled to be treated humanely and
Justly by this Government under all cir
cumstanccs, and Il failure on the part of any
department or policy to secure these ends
reflects no credit upon the Government.
When the Administration resortcd to a COM
mission of Christian statesmen to afford
additional protection 10 the rights of the
Indian and the interests of the Government,
that policy was hailed with much satsac-
tion, in the hope that higher plane Of hui
maniiy and honesty might be reached in
the future management Of our aboriginal
wards. For II season, while phianthropic
Christian statesmen managed the Civiliza-
tion aud christianization business, there
was u marked improvement in our Indian
policy. There was less cheating and plum
dering on the part of the agents and con-
tractors there was more cOntentment on
the part OF the Indians and higher evi-
dcnce OF their advancement in civilization
aud christianity. This was peculiarly graf
flying to those who believe honesty to be
the best policy, and that it Is no part Of the
duty Of this Government, or Of its agents or
commissioners to wrong and plunder those
consigned to Its protection. Tho prospect
of a higher grade Of honesty in our dealings
with the Indians led to the confident ex-
pectation that higher degree of content
ment would be reached, and advancement
would be made in civilization all of which
was in the interests of peace and the future
welfare of all concerned
The Christian philonthropists, who oc-
ccpted that responsibility with the single
and unsellsh purpose Of advancing the In
dian tribes in the arts and benefits Of civil
izedand Christian progress, one afteranother
retired and their places have been assumed
by quite another grade of Christian philau-

REPUBLICAN papers generally are copying
THE NATIONAL REPUBLICANS discovery OF
the fact that the names of seven electors in
Arkansas in 1876 are all signed on the back Of

deny that a proof-readers or compositor's

the forgery in q numerical sense. This ex-

the serious Importance of the charge. Six
forgeries have been proven in Arkansas
against TtLDES; two are alleged in Louisi-

that these latter forgeries were not used, as
the former were, in determining the result

thropists who lmve not been eminently sue
cessful in carrying out the Christian policy.
Under some baleful influences the contract
ors became unscrupulous and bold In their
violations of right, and the agents careless
and neglectiul Of their real duties, until dis
satisfaction, discomfort, and widespread
incensed feeling pervaded the Indian mind,
and the war-paint, tomahawk, rifle, and
scalpiug-knile came to the front in hostility
to the Government. The Indians seemed to
have lost all confidence in and patience with
the Government and its policy, and though
the act was that of madness, they seemed
determined to array themselves with linz
tied exceptions, in hostility against 1T.
Since that outbreak, there has been no
permanent peace between the Indian
tribes and their legal guardian. This brings
us TO the point where we must consider some
reform that shall secure a more Just, philan-
thropic, and benefceut treatment of the ln-
dians. We now have serious doubts under
present light If transfer from one Depart
ment to another will accomplish good a
more radical change in our policy is needed
to secure this end, and we find in the New
York Graphic some suggestions worthy of
consideration. II thinks that what is
needed for the safety of the Indians and
the honor of the nation is not new distrib-
utors of aims to beggars, but the abolition
Of the whole annuity-beggar system-the
abrogaticn of treaties--the breaking up of

Whatever may be said of his more recent
claims to the authorship Of the new pension
act it is certain that General RICE, of Ohio,
is entitled TO credit for having urged the
passage of some measure of the kind: but
it is equally certain that he was not the
originator of the law in question. The
Record shows-also the journal of the House
that the bill as passed, or very nearly as
ii was passed, was introduced in the House
originally by Mr.. CUMMINGS, of Iowa, who
pressed it to vote under suspension OF the
rules, and only faied in his object for want
of Democratic support, which would have
given him the required two-thirds ma
iorily.
Again, Mr.. HASKELL of Kansas, another
Republican member, near the close Of the
last session, brought Mr.. CUMMINGS bill mp
under suspension Of the rules, aud the Hon.
CHARLES g. WILLIAMS of Wisconsin, made
an exhaustive speech in support Of it, re-
viewing the whole question, pressing home
its Justice aud clearly establishing its equi-
tics. OF this speech by Mr.. WILLIAMS,
with few extracts from similar speech
by General RICE aud others, over 10000
copies were circulated throughout the coun-
try, and Mr.. WILLIAMS subsequently re-
ccived a vote of thanks from several associ-
ations of ex-soldicrs in Philadelphia, Wash
ington, and elsewhere. In short, Mr.. w.
