THE New York Graphic pays the National
Capital the compliment to say of Washing
ton: The population of that city is largely
"made up of vagrant people" Somebody
has been slandering this city to a credulous
and careless editor. There are less yagrdnts
in Washington than any city of its size in
the country, unless the Graphic enumerates
Congress in that class.

IT is said that Senator GORDON is insinu-
ating around the committee-rooms corri-

but it is when HILL is not present He
is careful not to intimate anything of the
kind to his Ece. Is that chivalry?

II would be cowardly if not brutal to
taunt the slave with his servtude under

Washington with folly, because they re-

National Convention when they have no
suffrage.

SAMUEL ]. TILDEN is q sly old boots, and
as cunning as he is sly. lie has discovered
a little too much cropping out Of ambition
in certain Democratic circles since the dis
astrous cipher developments TO render his
own prospects MS bright as he could desire,
and has been quietly at work since pigeon
holing his prospective adversaries. SEY-
IoUR has been made to believe that he
should not be candidate from sanitary

The BAYARD boom was strangled by TIL
DEN and his friends in its cradle, and the
Sage of Delaware has been pigeon-holed at
the very outset of his candidacy. THUR
MAN has been quietly laid away. Now we
find ex- Governor PARKER, of New Jersey,
who began to loom into some prominence
as q Presidential candidate, likely to
be pigeon-holed in iudgeship Thus
one by one, HERoD-like, Mr.. TLDEN
is killing off and disposing of the
infant hopes and prospects of those who
may stand in his way until it now looks as
if he had cleared the track of all
obstacles and unless new brood OF
ambitions should be Matched, he will make
himself the indispensable if not the most
desirable Presidential candidate of his party
Indeed, for that matter he has determined
to be, and will be, the standard bearer Of
the Democratic party in 1850. He has
chosen his period and fortified his purpose
with will that the Democratic party has
not the power, in its present infrm condi
ton, to resist. 1t will be TILDEN on the
Democratic side, and a Republican who viii

majority thatthere will be no call for tn,

provided for in the Constitution of til

secure an honest and prompt fulfllment of
all contracts for supplies, and just protec-
ton TO the Indians in all their rights. A
disregard of these points naturally engen-
ders distrust and discomfort on the part
Of the Indians, and leads to difficulty
tiers not so much who manage our In-
dian affairs as that they shall be managed
justly and wisely. Then the Govern ment
can defend its policy, while now IL is COM
PEELED too often TO apologize for its defects
and unfortunate results. The Indians have
been maltreatcd by the Government
through disregard of treaty obligations-a
breach of faith in the matter of contracts
for supplies, and failure to protect their
reservations from invasion and depreciation.
Good faith on the part of the Government
toward the Indians is indispensable to
peace, harmony and good conduct on their
part. These can never be secured until
every treaty stipulation is respected and
promptly executed, and the Indians are
securely protected against the wrongs here
tofore practiced upon them by those who in
some degree represent the Government in
carrying out its Indian policy. 1t is de-
sirable-indeed, it is indispensable, that the
Indian Bureau shall be so organized that
the Indians shall be honestly dealt with in
the future. If this cannot be accomplished
by the Interior Department, let an expert
ment be tried in some other direction.
