Mr.. President, what: is the provision
in this bill? It first starts out with a
declaration that the policy of this gov
ernment is to make no appropriation
for a sectarian school; and second, that
40 per cent of the appropriation may be
given to school, a Jesuit school, per-
haps, or any other school belonging to
any denomination, if a nonsectarian
school cannot be had in that vicinity.
This simply declares that if the whole
of the Indian tribes, now in savagery
and barbarism, could be redeemed by a
religious denomination, it shall be done.
would, I repeat, give this duty and
mission to the people who could perform
it best; and I declare here and now, as
the result of actual experience and OBJ
servation, that have never yet seen
any intelligent man who spoke from
the same standpoint who dared to con-
tradict the assertion . that; the only
schools that have done anything for the
Indians on this continent have been
those under the control Of the Jesuits.
Having said this much, Mr.. President,
declare, in conclusion. that, whilst I
can not defeat this, and do not propose
to attempt it, wish notwithstanding
the criticisms that I kaqw will follow,
to put myself on record against the pro-
vision to which have alluded.

matter got into court.

A DEFENSE OF. GRANT.

Gen. Horace Porter Strikes Back at
the Critics.
Gen. Horace Porter's campaigning
With Grant," now running in the Cen
tury, deals with the battle of Cold Har-
Dor in the March issue. Gen. Porter
says:
There were critics who were severe in
their condemnation of what Grant called
"hammering'' and Sherman called
pounding" but they were found prin-
cipally among the stay-at-homes, and
especially the men who sympathized
with the enemy. A soldier said one
night, when reading by a camp fire an
account of call issued by a disloyal
newspaper at home for public meeting
to protest against the continued blood
shed in this campaign: "Who's she'd
ding this blood, anyhow? They better
wait till we fellows down here at the
front hello 'enough!'" The soldiers
were as anxious as their commander to
fight the war to finish, and be allowed
to return to their families and their
business.
Grant could have effectually stopped
the carnage at any time by Withholding
from battle. He could have avoided all
bloodshed by remaining north of the
Rapidan, intrenching, and not moving
against his enemy; but he was not
placed in command of the armies for
that purpose. It had been demonstrated
by more than three years of campaign
ing that peace could only. be secured by
whipping and destroying the enemy.
No one was more desirous of peace;
no one was possessed of heart more
sensitive to every form of human suf-
fering than the commander; but he real
lied that paper bullets are not effective
in warfare; he knew better than to at
tempt to hew rocks with a razor; and he
felt that in campaigning the hardest
blows bring the quickest relief.
He was aware thats in Wellington's 8
armies the annual loss from disease was
q
113 out of 1000; in our Mexican war,
152; and in the Crimean 600; and that
in the campaigns thus far lin our own
war more men had died from sickness
while lying in camp than from shot and
shell in battle. Il
He could not select his; ground for
fighting in this continuous iege of forti-
fed lines; for, though shesand his chief
officers applied all their experience and
skill in endeavors to 4ane4yer the enc
my out of strong positions before at
tacking him, his foe was often too able
and willy to fall into the traps set for
him. and had to be struck in positions
which were farsfrom Grants choosing.
When Lee stopped nghting the ca1se
Of secession was lost. If Grant had
stopped fighting the cause of the Union
would have been Lost. He was assigned
one Of the most appalling tasks ever In
trusted to eonnander. He did hi.

The English seeing the repugnance of

certain sections OF the country to the
enlistment of the negroes. began to draw
them to the royal army by promises OF
liberty and reward when the war should
end. They had the effect of drawing
thousands Of negroes from the planta-
tions Of the south. yet the promises were
never fulfilled, nay, the slaves entered
upon slavery worse than before. Not
withstanding the withdrawal of the
slaves to fight on the side of the British,
in that very section where they were
most numerous, the feeling against U.s.
ing them in the cause of liberty was the
strongest. A negro with a weapon in
his hands was nightmare.
At length after affairs had reached a
crisis, Connecticut proposed, after a
struggle, to enlist negroes, but only
among the whites. Then came Valley
Forge, with Philadelphia only twenty
miles away. Affairs were desperate,
and the advocates of enlisting negroes
resumed their agitation more urgently
than before. Rhode Island took tho
lead, sending out organizations of them,
of1cered by white men. Their gallantry
was well attested.
In Massachusetts the attempt was not
so successful. There the intermingling
plan was preferred as more conducive
to obliterating the difference between
the white and the black soldier. Sever
al of the other states thought the same,
Soon after this New York passed an act
to raise regiments of black troops.
AS the war spread and reached the
south the question became mZe and
more important. Though Maryland dis
liked to do it, she armed her negroes,
not, however, forming of them separate
companies, but using them to fill gaps
In the ranks of the whites. AS congress
had no authority over the states it could
only recommend that the negro be
armed, and on the strength of this rec
ommendation the agitation was resumed
with greater energy than before by
those who were in favor of putting the
negro in the field.
The gloom of the situation became
deeper The friends of liberty were de-
moralized. Something had to be done.
The British army swarmed with negro
troops, and their fighting qualities were
only too sorely evident to the colonists.
For long time the north and the south
had been at a disagreement as to this
question of enlistment, but finally they
Joined hands and the negro found his
way to enlistment in the Continental
army.
In the beginning the north was not
much more in favor of enlisting them
than the south, but it saw sooner than
the latter the advisability of doing so.
The only way in which the question was
completely settled, however, was by the
end of the war.
Scattered throughout the Continental
army were negroes who acted in nearly
every capacity, and they proved them
selves worthy of more confidence than
they received. Their courage was tried
under most difficult circumstances.
Not much can be said of the reward
which they received for their labors.
The colonists were not long in forget
ting the services of the negroes who
fought for them, yet while their treat
ment cannot be unqualifedly praised,
that which the thousands who enlisted
in the British army received cannot be
too deeply deplored.
