The Indian war in Canada.

In Canada the Reil rebellion is discussed
from two distinct standpoints. One is
that the government is to blame for the
present condition of alIairs in the North
west, and the other is that it viii be bet
ter to let the Indians and halt-breeds con-
troll the country until advancing civilIza-
ton OveTwhelms them than to go to the
expense of reducing them to submission.
Nearly four years ago it was pretty we'll
understood thay an uprising of the Indians
might reasonably be expected in very
short time. They were then in an almost
starving condition, their lands were being
taken by settlers, and their hunting
grounds, consequently, were being de-
stroyed. The government made very in
adequate provision for them, and the
supplies it did provide were not,
it seems, honestly distributed by the
agents. The thing that ought to have
been done, but which was not done,
was to have taught the Indians
how to take care of themselves in the
new condition of affairs in which they
found themselves. The government ought

cultural implements and assisted them
in other ways until they were able to
take care OF themselves.
or course the Indians refused to starye
to death as long as there was food to be
had. They became thieves, and stole the
cattle of the ranchers and the grain of the
farmers. They were shot without mercy
when caught pilfering. The result was
that there came to be an extremely bad
state of feeling between the settlers and
the Indians.
The Canadian Government cannot, of
course, afford to abandon the country to
the half-breeds and Indians, and it has no
serious intention of doing anything of
that kind. 1t doubtless sees now, how
ever, that the policy which it has pursued
towards the Indians was a mistaken one,
and it will cost more to re-establish its
authority than it would to have dealt with
the Indians literally and wisely.

The CoIored Vote.

The negroes have heretofore been Repub-
licans-that is, the large majority Of them
have-nOt so much on account gratitude
for their freedom, which the Republican
party claims to have given them, as from
motives Of interest. After the immense
influences that have been brought to bear
on them, and the fears of reinstatement,
excited by unprincipled politicians, it is
wonderful how rapidly the prcjudices of
the negroes against the Democratic party
are giving way to a feeling Of confidence
and respect.
In many parts Of the country leading
negroes who have heretofore been strong
Republicans are waking up to the fact
that the progress and interests of their
race are now in the keeping of the Dem
Ocrats, and that the trust has been ac-
cepted as one that must he administered
in accordance with the spirit Of the age,
and that it will not be misused or abused.
In some places formal steps have been
taken by the negroes TO unite with the
Democrats, and nowhere, scarcely, are
there evidences OF the hostility and
dIstrust that were so plainly visible only
few months ago.
There is every reason to suppose that
the masses OF the negroes will vote in the
future according to their interests, and
that they will soon appreciate the fact
that they can hope for no help or advance
ment from the Republican party. There
is little doubt that by the time four years
shall elapse the Democrats may safely
count on very large portion, if not an
actual majority, Of the negro votes. 1t
may be assumed that the South will be as
solid as ever in the next Presidential
campaign, and it is probable that two or
three States now Republican will then be
in the doubtful list, placed there in the
main by the negroes transferring their
votes to the Democratic party. The Re-
publcans cannot lose the negro vote in
Illinois, Wisconsin, or Mich .an, and
have any assurance Of being able to
carry those States.
The Democratic administration has
made good beginning in commencing
itself to intelligent and fair negroes all
over the country. The leading minds Of
the race, especially in the Northern
States, have for some time been almost
ready to break off from the Republican
party. Let them now come boldly over
to the Democracy and they will
never have cause to regret the step,
for the Republican party has not only
outlived its usefulness but its power to
do them good.

Gratifying news comes from the great
Union Club difficulty IN New York. The
Tribune says: "James V. Parker sent in his
resignation as a member of the club. He
also rendered an apology to Mr.. Lee for
his language az the club on last Saturday,
and the apology has been accepted. Mr.
Parker was accompanied by Mr. Belmont
when the apology was rendered, and a
friend Of Mr.. Lees was present. Mr..
Parker's manly course has excited a
strong feeling IN his favor IN the club.
The Governing Committee, which met on
last Monday, took no acti n respecting
the Parker-Lee quarrel. There will be-a
special meeting 10 consider the matter to-
day. II Is not believed that Mr.. Parkeris
resignation will be accepted. He will
probably be asked 10 stay in the club"

bloody meeting or a sensational quarrel

between the white and colored servant

have been full Of accounts of marauding
expeditions of negroes against the white

Europe. The negresses are desperate, as

crowded out OF employment by the new

the white girls, who have been badly
frightened by the demonstrations made

protect the interests OF the Isthmus, and
il was his first dHty TO use this force for
that purpose. When he heard of the rev.
olution, instead of keeping his troops to-
gether, as he ought, he divided them

rest to Cartagena. Those sent to Buena-
