' DEFEAT OF TJIK LEAGUE ISLAND ' .' , BILL. , Tn Loagae Inland bill came to grief yester day in the National House of Representatives, , where it was laid on the table by a vote of 94 to 67. The Philadelphia delegation mado a gallant Btand in defense of the project in whioh their constituents are so deeply inte rested, and they were ably eeoondod by all the members from Pennsylvania in the IIouho ; except Judge Woodward. Thia fine old Democrat took occasion to record his opposi tion to the bill and to indulge in a fling at Philadelphia that would have been more appropriate as coming from some disappointod advocate of a New York or New England Bite for the . great navy yard of the country. Of course, the grounds of the opposition to the transfer of the Phila delphia Navy Yard to League Island are well understood, although those who have labored with the most energy to dofent the bill have been careful to assign every other reason but the right one. It is impossible, however, to make concealment of such a matter, and it is . very plainly manifested that the tabling of the League Island bill was effected by the concerted action of those who are still scheming for other sites. Mr. Dawes, in his speech a few days ago, opposed the transfer of the Philadelphia Yard almost solely on the score of eoonomy, but yesterday he advanced the opinion that the three New England yards might be consolidated into one at New Lon don. Thia would swallow up the Charlestown and Portsmouth yards, and perhaps also that at Brooklyn. It is plain enough to see from this what Dawes is driving at, and if he oould by any manner of means unite the enemies of League Island in favor of New London, he would see the importance of making large appropriations' for the immediate creation of a first-class naval station in a very different . light from what ho now does. Hut it is here that the difficulties of Dawes begin. . New .York does not propose to let New London swallow up' the Brooklyn Yard. On the ' contrary, the ' inconvenience of the prosent site is being urged, and there is every proba bility that a project for the removal of the Brooklyn Yard to some point on the Hudson, and the creation of a naval depot that will be a New York institution, will be brought for ward shortly, and advocated with an energy that will drive Dawes and all the other New Londoners into the background. It is evident that a desperate attempt will be made to delay the work of preparing League Island as long as possible, in the hope that the present plan of creating a great naval dopot there will ulti- ' inately be abandoned; and the representatives of Philadelphia in Congross will need to exer cise all their vigilance to prevent the enemies of that site from succeeding. It has been demonstrated over and over again that League Island is the only place on the entire Atlantio coast that contains all the requisites . for a first-class naval station. The site has been presented to the Government by the ' city of Philadelphia and the gift has been ac cepted, and the expense of fitting it up in the most complete manner will be fully covered by the money realized from the sale of the old yard, so that it need not cost the Govern ment a single cent out of the Treasury. There are undoubtedly enough members of Congress who have no interest whatever in the various rival sites now pressed upon their ' notice to decide in this manner with fairness - and impartiality and, although the League Island project has met with a temporary de feat, we confidently expect that it will be carried through both houses of Congress triumphantly before the end of the session, ECONOMY AT IIARRISBURQ. One of the Philadelphia members of the Htale Legislature offered a burlesque bill yester day, setting forth that "whereas certain gobleta were broken and towels destroyed in the cloak-room, therefore large tin-cups and oo IT ee -sacks be furnished." He was a little . more daring, but scarcely more unscrupulous, than a large proportion of his colleagues, in treating the whole subject of retrenchment and reform in this jocular manner. It is such an easy and profitable thing to vote away the i people's money, and it is so annoying to either surrender or to exercise circumspectly this privilege, that we do not wonder at the disposition to ridicule all restraints upon . the power of the legislators. Many of them have intrigued to obtained their present seats mainly for the purpose of profiting by a be trayal of the trust imposed by a too confiding .. people, and they are loth to surrender any ' on of the established opportunities for oheating their constituents. There was 1 time when members of the Assembly guarded the interests of the Slate with.' the utmost care, and acted in good faith on all questions, but the ruling desire now seems to be to ex tract the greatest possible amount of profit to the representative, and do the least public - ' good to the millions represented. It would scarcely bo a burlesque for a large proportion of the members of the Senate and House to frankly define their position as follows: Wfttreai, We have come to Harrisburg not to advance the welfare of the Commonwealth, but to promote our private interests, we hereby invite all corporations, cormorants, and jobbers who can invent schemes sunt ciently profitable to leave a large margin for divvies, to come forward, pay charges, and have their bills passed, so that the people may be plundered and our pocket-books re plenished without further delay. ' ' ,. . Whereat, The agitation of projects of I economy tends to reduce our porqui ltos, to prevent us from cramming the Capitol with useless supernumeraries, and thna pying with the publio money our private1 partisan", and to diminish our opportunities for enrioh ing Robin O'Bobbin Berguer, all attempts to protect the Treasury shall hereafter be ruled out of order, and all members who attempt to honestly serve their constituents shall be instantly eipelled." " ' . j ' THE NOBLE RED MAN. A rsw days ago President Orant was inter viewed by the chiefs, of the Cherokeee and Creeks, and in the course of an; eight-line speech which he made to them, he Said: "I am of the opinion that they (the Indians) should become citizens, and be entitled to all the rights of citizens oease to be nations, and become States." . : ' ' ' . . ' If we are at liberty to take these words as enunciating the policy of the administration on the Indian question, there is at last a pros pect of a solution of this vexatious problem. There is a steadily increasing sentiment in the country in favor of such a change in the policy of the Government as is here fore shadowed, and in both houses of Congress we have recently been afforded evidence that this new policy will meet with considerable legis lative favor, although it can scarcely be hoped that Congress will immediately give it its sanction. The policy of regarding the abo riginal tribes as sovereign nations is the source of nearly all the evils which afHiot the frontiers, and retard the settlement of the Indian country by the whites, as well as dolay the bringing of the Indian themselves under the influence of civilization. It is through the agency of the so-called treaties with these quasi nationalities that the Taste horde of plunderers are enabled to swindle both the Government and the tribes, and in this man ner keep the frontiers in a state pf chrOnio warfare. . Much was hoped from the element of honesty which was supposed to be still paramount in the Quaker character, when the Quaker agents should find their way into the Indian country, and inaugurate a policy of fair dealing in place of the swindling one which has prevailed for so many years. But, while the Quaker agents have not individually been false to the traditional character of their sect, they have thus far practically failed to better the condition of things, primarily be cause the national policy in conformity with which they were sent to the frontiers is radi cally wrong, and affords no possibility, at least no probability, of a change for the better, except by its entire abandonment. ' ' It must be confessed that all the efforts that have heretofore been made to bring "the noble red man" entirely within the pale of civilization have resulted in failure, and this result would appear to be owing to those in herent peculiarities of race whioh unfit the Indian for civilized life. In 'some of the Atlantic States there are remnants of tribes entirely surrounded by whites, whioh have suc ceeded in adapting themselves to the customs and pursuits of their neighbors. But with each passing year tkeir numbers have dwin died away, until at last they are represented by a mere handful, physically inferior, although perhaps mentally superior, to their ancestors. , It is almost inevitable that a like result will ensue if the attempt be made upon a wholesale scale to transform the aborigines into citizens; but, since annihi lation is the only conceivable termination of our traditional policy, it becomes a very im portant question whether it would not be cheaper to civilize the Indian to death than to hunt him to the grave more merciful to botn the whites ana the lnaians to put an end to this interminable warfare, even at the cost of ultimately extirpating the latter. Since we must deal with the aborigines in some fonhion, there can be no doubt that a larger measure of sucoess would j attend the effort to curb their brutal , instinbts and polish their savage nature by taktng them in hand individually, than has resulted from the attempt to soften and civilize them en masse. If nothing more can be achieved an end can at least be put to the villainy of the white men who haunt the Indian country only for the sake of the plunder which H yields, and to the horrible brutalities of which we re ceive tidings almost every day ef the year, . . , 8ALNA VE SHOT, j , : General Tuiun Salnave, the celebrated Hay tien insurrectionary chief, it seems has at last paid the penalty of the deeds of violence that have characterized his career. HA des patch from Charleston, South Carolina, in lorms us that the rrencn sloop or war Leraior, which arrived there I yesterday, brought the intelligence that Salnave was sentenced to death and shot on the 10th in Btant. ( This man has been prominent in all the revolutionary struggles that have con vulsod Hayti for twenty years past, and he has apparently only now obtained his just deserts. He brought himself prominently into notice in July, 1804, by an attempt to assassi sate one of the ministers of President Geffrard. For this aot he was tried by a court-martial and condemned to death, but he succeeded in escaping to St. Domingo, where lie organized a rebellion against Geffrard, and obtained a partial foothold in Hayti. Salnave organized a provisional government, with himself at the head of it as President, in May, 18G5, bat Geffrard, in November of the same year, de foated him and scattered his adherents. ' Sal nave subsequently renewed the attempt, and this time he managed to obtain the supreme power. In June, 18G7, he granted an amnesty to all Hay tiens exoept Geffrard, and proceeded to reorganize the Government on a basis of his own. He was not permitted, however, to enjoy his power for any great length of time, for in August, 1807, a revolt against him broke out and since then Hayti has been distracted by the contentions of rival ohiefs.' s Soveral leaders oombined their forces against Sal nave, and they gradually succeeded in driving him to the wall. ' The lost intelligence that we bad of Salnave was that he, with thirty of his chief partisans, was shut up in Fort Na tional, at Port-u-Prinoe, aud that a price of $frX)0 in gold was placed upon his head; and now it appears, that he has .fallen by the hands of his enemies. Salnave government was the one recognised by the United States, and Oeneral Tate, his Minister at Washington, Is among the libt of the proscribed. If the death of Salnave gave any assurance that peace would return to Hayti, there would be reason for congratulation, but there is scarcely any doubt that the men who united to crush him will now begin to fight among them selves for the possession of the spoils, and we may expect a continuance of these parti san feuds until Some stronger power stops in and takes possession of the country and en forces order. ' i "f " . i ' Gbnkbal Butler yesterday completely de molished the leading positions taken by Mr. Dawes in his late speech on national expendi tures. Eoonomy, in the nation as well as in the Slate, cannot be too highly commended, and the peop'e are : ever ready to applaud those who attempt to check extravaganoe, but it is disgraceful for the leader of a great party specially entrusted with the careful consideration of appropriations to prostitute his position to the narrow purposes of a demagogue, and to spread broadcast a host of misrepresentations whioh plainly imply either gross ignorance or wanton falsehood. Of this offense Mr. Dawes was yesterday clearly convicted, and he has forfeited all claims to the confidence of his fellow-members and the oountry. In attempting to create the false impression that the present administration was spending more money than its prede cessor, ke resorted to the most unworthy sub terfuges, and the utter unreliability of his statements is now clearly established. In stead of successfully assailing the adminis tration, the rebound of his weapon has knocked the owner over, and he is much more seriouily wounded than the objects of his malevolence. ' ' i The bill offered by Mr. Cloud in the House yesterday, providing that the site of the new publio buildings of Philadelphia Bhall be decided by a popular Yote, deserves favor able consideration. As all tax-payers must help defray the large expenditures contem plated, so all should have a voice in deter mining where this money shall be expended. A very large number of citizens are earnestly opposed to the Independence Square projeot, and if they constitute a majority, it would be a serious wrong to commit them, against their will, to that site. A direct' Vote will decide finally what the publio wishes are, and it is manifestly just that they, should be ascer tained and respected.
