Oar Indian Policy.
From the Tribune.
If we are at a Iowa to determine whether we
are at war or not, we may rest assured that
Ihe Indians are still more so. Those (ieneral
Jlancock met lately had no desire to fight;
and that they risked something for a confer
ence proves that very conclusively. They un
doubtedly ventured thus into immediate proxi
mity to the expedition in the hope of avert
ing the storm, and the experiment has evi
dently cost them some of their baggage.
They had certain rights and claims as the
native occupants of the soil to urge on the en-
PLrtinn twonlo of the United
Ihnir renresentatr
t. unmimll'lll of the
nterests it was
their business to protect. Ihat they mot
Hancock at the very gates of civilization, on
the most eastern portion of their noma, he
beat, is evidence of their desire to stay the
band of war. ,
Why did they refuse to let (ieneral llanooek
and his men visit the camp where their fami
lies were ? Perhaps it will be recalled that at
Mi Hollow, in lh.r(i, (ieneral Harney sent for
the Indians "to talk." He too had gone on
lttt.n &n tA Tmlinn-tirrhtflr. htt
i.a th difli.-.iiltv of finding them, aud while I
r him be uronosed terms that ,
it was impossible to expeci ineni 10 accepv,
and fired on those who came to treat with him,
before they could return to their men. Do we
wonder that these haughty, wild Indians of
the plains do not want a licentious soldiery
quartered among their families ? When Gene
j.d Hancock, therefore, determined to visit
1 ieir camp in the face of their protest, lie left
ti.ose who thus came to him no alternative but
to i-'ht or to llee.
riiat they did the latter, rather than hover
roi nd his outposts to pickup stragglers, is
evidence that they have not yet dismissed the
hope of peace. To be sure, it cost them some
tents and baggage, valuable to them; but
these aborigines are shrewd children of the
plains. The tent poles dragging at their
ponies' sides must not mark the route of their
retreat. Their ponies must be burdened with
do more than will enable them to pursue a
rapid flight. Where have they gone ? Where,
indeed, can they go ?
Is this mode of treating the Indian question
worthy of a great Christian nation ? Admit
the difficulties that beset the problem, we
still claim a great intelligence, and the ques
tion has surely an honorable solution. No
means can certainly be half so expensive as
war. It is well known that the War Depart
ment desired the burden of Indian manage
ment to be added to its cares. Is it really a
plan to cut the unsolved questions by the
sword, and come to the next Congress with
fresh reasons against a divided jurisdiction of
the Indian question? These may be bard
thoughts, but the circumstances suggest them.
Whatever may be the purpose, we apprehend
that the result will be to convince all Christian
men that the army, whose trade and only
trade now is war on them, is not the proper
custodian of these helpless interests.
Still more. The West, where all our tele
graphic stations are, is in the interest hostile
to Indians, which, really, would like to see
them exterminated. And yet more. Near
these stations, with the commercial interests,
such wars and expeditions are godsends.
There are hay contracts and corn contracts to
let for the cavalry that go hunting for the
Cheyenne trail. There are beef contracts.
There is, in fact, money money everywhere
in it. Do we wonder that the telegrams are
so contradictory? Are we astonished that
they are so bloodthirsty, and are, after all,
able to give us so little evidence to be relied
on of positive outrage or warlike dispositions ?
There is a vague idea in the public mind
that, in order to negotiate with Indians, it is
best to give them a sound drubbing to begin
with. This is, in fact, true of more people j
than the Indians. If we wished to annex
Canada, for instance, we might find it more
easy after waging a successful war on Eng- I
land. It is true it would be expensive, and I
might cost us more, as in the Cheyenne case,
than it is worth; but then, the Cheyenues and '
Sioux are weak; and a war, although expen
sive, would not be difficult nor its result
doubtful.
There is but one thing that the army in the
"West can do make the Indians willing to
accept terms that we, as a Christian nation,
ought not to impose on them. It is true that
nothing can, or should, arrest the footsteps of
civilization on the continent; but it is also
true that we owe to the wild inhabitants of the
country we seek to possess, all that can be
done to spare, to elevate, and preserve them.
The plan of peace is far less expensive than
that of war. Let our Indian system cease to
be a paddock in which decayed politicians
feed, and the sheath to rub the rust from an
idle army. God gave us our superior intelli
gence; let us thank Him for it in good works.
The ReconstructlouCaitealutlie supreme
Court.
JYom the Times.
The applications for injunctions in behalf of
Georgia and Mississippi, to restrain the opera
tion of the Reconstruction net, were dismissed
iy the Supreme Court, which disclaims juris
diction in the premises.
This result has been so generally expected
that its promulgation is received as a matter
of course. Before any action was taken, the
inability of the Court to interfere was treated
by all parties at the North as an established
fact. If any doubts remained, they were pro
bably dispelled by the argument of the Attorney-General.
The lawyers had already
declared the motion inadmissible, on grounds
which seemed irrefragable. The Attorney
General added to the subtlety of the lawyer
the strong sense of the statesman, and con
vinced the popular judgment of the undesira
bleness of vesting in any Court the power of
nullifying the political action of the Govern
ment. The South, already disposed to comply with
the terms of the act, will have its last remain
ing scruples removed by thii decision. There
is no evidence that the Southern people ever
placed much reliance upon the appeal to the
Supreme Judiciary. But prominent politicians
Lave exhibited a contrary inclination, and
have stood aloof even where they have not
hindered, under a vague hope of judicial in
terposition. The decision cuts the thread by
which these hopes have been suspended. The
chance of interference to arrest the operation
tif tlie law is ended. And not only the States
Gnreria and Mississippi, but the whole

Southern reorganization.
TJ Injunction r, Dlimiaaed Jeff.
Uavla lrlad on Ball-A Clear Field
for Bomhtru Reconstruction.
V-Vom Vi Herald.
The Supreme Court of tie United States
has dismissed the Mississippi and Georgia
injunction cases for want of jurisdiction. 15y
the Circuit Court of the United States at Rich
mond (Judge Underwood), Jeff. Davis, while
awaiting his trial, has been released from mili
tary custody on bail, in the sum of one hun
dred thousand dollars. These are two im
portant events, and will be bailed with general
satisfaction throughout the country, in view
of an uninterrupted reconstruction, and an
early restoration to Congress of the ten ex
cluded Southern States.
The Mississippi aud Georgia cases were each
a petition to the Supreme Court, restraining
the Secretary of War, General Grant, and the
live Southern Military District commanders
(for an injunction in one case would apply to
them all) from the execution of the Southern
Reconstruction laws of Congress, on the
ground that they are unconstitutional and
void in trenching upon State rights. A de
cision to this effect, looking to the Milligau
decision of last winter, was reasonably ex
pected by the petitioners (Sharkey, Walker,
and others), and there was some reason to
fear that President Johnson, in the eveut of
such a decision, might obey it, in the recill
of the Southern Military District comman
ders, thus reinstating his own policy, and
thus reinstating his
challenging another conflict with Congress.
which would inevitably end only in his im
peachment and removal, aud in the reconstruc
tion of the Supreme Court itself.
It will be perceived, therefore, that in the
dismissal of these injunction cases the conflict
from which the President stands so signally
defeated has been declined by the Supreme
Court, and that by the Kxecutive and judicial
departments the legislative is recognized the
sovereign master of Southern reconstruction
and restoration. Consequently, all those dis
turbing State rights politicians of the South
and the North who have been promising a
rescue from Congress by the Supreme Court
must now fall in with the good 'advice of Gene
rals Lee, Hampton, Longstreet, and other
late fighting Rebel leaders, in fulfilling the
terms laid down by Congress. In behalf of
Southern reconstruction, then, the importance
and value of this decision cannot be exagge
rated. Nor is the temporary enlargement of Jeff.
Davis on bail a trilling matter, looking to a
healthy reconstruction of Southern public
opinion. Two years ago, on the charge of
being a conspirator with Wilkes Booth and
others in the assassination of President Lin
coln, a reward of one hundred thousand dol
lars was offered by President Johnson for the
capture of Davis. That charge has long since
fallen to the ground; but, from the quibbling
evasions of Chief Justice Chase, the accused is
detained in prison two years awaiting "a
speedy trial," as a murderer, a traitor, or
a Rebel. The law's delay, through the Chief
Justice, is thus becoming a public scandal,
when Davis is brought up for trial and re
leased on bail in the very sum (one hundred
thousand dollars) paid for his capture. This
is a curious fact; but it is not half so curious
as the fact that first on the list of his bonds
men appears Horace Greeley ("on to Rich
mond"), and second, Augustus Schell, Presi- '
dent of the Democratic Manhattan Club, of !
which Thurlow Weed is likewise a member.
Here is Northern rivalry for political capital
South, which may lead to still more remark
able manifestations of brotherly love. It
matters little now whether Davis is tried next
week, next month, or next year his trial
will end in smoke. It is not unlikely that if
left to the courts his case may be postponed
again and again, till finally dropped. In the
John Brown song it is said,
"We will hnnn JeH Davis on a sour apple tree,
As we go marching on,"
and President Johnson has declared several
times that "treason is a crime and traitors
must be punished;" but as matters now stand
the best thing he could do would be to grant a
free pardon to Davis and let him go in peace.
Thus, in this case, the work of reconstruc
tion commenced by O'Conor, Greeley, and
Schell will be perfected by the President, and
Davis will become a tower of strength to the
Government in the good cause of Southern
! restoration. Greeley will have a fair Held
j throughout the South to rectify the blunders
j of Senator Wilson, the Hon. Mr. Kelley,
j Jedediah K. Hayward, and other Northern
! radicals, in their missionary efforts to array
the Southern blacks against the whites as a
j political party, and Davis will be able to
I exercise a still greater influence over the
I intractable State-rights politicians, in bring
ing them round to the laws of Congress, and
I over the five Southern Military District coin
j ruanders. The great danger now is that,
between the ideas of confiscation and agrari
auism, which are getting into the heads of t.i.
Southern blacks by the hints thrown out by
'Old Thad. Stevens," Senator Wilson, and
others, on the one side, and from such South
ern unreconstructed white leaders as ex-
: Governor Perry of South Carolina, Sharkey of
Mississippi, aud Governor Jenkins of Georgia,
on uie oilier siue, mere may be organized
such a clashing of races as will precipitate
even in the North another political revolution,
throwing everything into contusion, while yet
the work of reconstruction is only half begun.
To arrest these tendencies of the present
political agitations of our live Southern Mili
tary Districts, we submit to President Johnson
the experiment of a free pardon to Davis, in
rder that he and Greeley, and Aucustus
Schell and John Minor Botts, may stump the
South together, in correcting the fallacies of
State rights, and in disabusing the ignorant
blacks of those dangerous notions that, in
addition to freedom, the Preedman's Bureau,
and the ballot-box, they are to have free farms
and nothing to do but to enjoy all the African
splendors of Hayti. The Republican leaders,
at all events, must look to this, or they may
soon find themselves in the midst of a North
ern political revolution.
Presidential Journeying.
fYom the Tribune.
Our great men are restless, moving, roam
ing over the face of the earth. General Butler
has been to the West, Senator Wilson is in
the South, General Sherman is going to the
Fast, and Mr. Seward has but recently
returned from a strawberry picnic in
Walrussia. Mr. Colfax has been to Utah,
and is going to Michigan. Senator Sherman
has gone to Europe, and Admiral Farragut is
going; Judge Kelley has gone to New Orleans,
and will travel thence North, and through the
Rebel States. Mr. Andrew Johnson contem
plates excursions to Boston aud to Charleston,
P. C, and Mr. Jack Rogers, having lately loft
Washington for New Jersey, has really done
as much travelling as the publio hail a right
to expect. A party of oui Congressmen are
going to the plains to shoot buffalo that is,
to shoot at buffalo, and Mr. English, of Con
necticut, last month," by dint of labors hardly
equalled by the pedestrian who made a thou
sand miles in a thousand hours, actually
travelled all the way from bis mills to the
State capital. General Grant has not been
very excursive lately, having had enough of
travel when be went with the President to
Springfield, but is not likely to spend the
Hummer in idleness; and, indeed, the only
great man who has not been journeying of
late is Mr. Davis, and even he can now go
where ho pleases.
Rumor, which is sometimeR truth and some
times calumny, intimates that all these jour
neys, to whatever point of the compass they
pretend, are really meant to he roundabout
ways to Washington pilgrimages of Presiden
tial candidates, who, alter long toil, finally
hope to rest in the White. House. March 4

And though no one was ever known to rest in

tion to the great office, there aro few Ameri
cans who would not cheerfully walk to Jeru

easy. A great man in these days can show

can speak one emphatic word that is not in

It is natural, then, that the Presidential condi
date should be like ( Jeorge Francis Train or
Colorado Jewett a man with the world for his
home, spending his life in steamboats and
cars. No candidate will stay at home if he can
help it. The candidates are all flitting, Hitting,
and every day adds to the number.
We do not know that all the gentlemen we
have mentioned are Presidential candidates,
but Rumor will have it that they are. Yet
what political capital can Gen. Sherman make
of a trip to the Holy Land ; what votes can
the ambitious Congressman hope to secure by
shooting at buffalo, and being shot at by
Sioux and Cheyennes ; what good will it do
Mr. Jack Rogers to go to Trenton, or Mr.
Seward to Auburn, or where shall Mr. John
son travel to find himself populr.r ? We do
not see satisfactory answers to these questions,
but Rumor in every man's pilgrimage finds
profound mystery, and will have it that no
body can pack his trunk and buy a railroad
ticket without having desighs on the Presi
dential succession.
Some of the distinguished gentlemen we
have mentioned, who exchange the safety of
home for the perils of the railroad, have indeed
about one chance of the Presidency to ninety
nine of a collision or an explosion, and travel
may teach them this truth. A far better result
than the mere making of a President may come
from these joumeyings. If the people learn
to know the leaders, the leaders are taught by
the people. No man can travel far and intelli
gently observe without discovering that the
almost universal sentiment demands the
speedy reconstruction of the Southern States.
The responsibility of success is weighty, and
it rests upon the North. We have placed ten
States under military rule; we have prescribed
the qualifications of voters, and given the
ballot to hundreds of thousands who never
before possessed it. WTe have begun the ex
periment, and must watch it till the end.
Upon all our public men, therefore, we urge
cooperation in the work of reconstruction, aud
securing all rights for all men. Whether it is
to the Kast, West, North, or South that they
turn their steps, let them not forget that the
great work before us is not the making of a
President, but the restoration of the country.
Let us all join hands in that work, and the
Presidential question will come soon enough.
The Bloody Policy of Juarez.
From the Times.
We should think that President Juarez
might have learned by this time the impolicy,
to say the least, of the bloody course he lias
been pursuing towards the Imperialists who
have fallen into bis hands. Yet we learn
that the Juarist General who is besieging
the capital proposes to carry out the
system that has lately been put in execution
against Maximilian's upholders in all other
parts of Mexico. When asked for terms of
capitulation, he replied that no quarter would
be granted to certain officers whom he desig
nated; and there is no doubt, judging by re
cent events, that, in case of the capture of the
city, the list of the doomed will be extended
indefinitely.
It is to this bloody policy and we call it a
policy because of the uniformity of its applica
tionthat we attribute the sluw progress and
small success of the Juarist Government since
the departure of the French troops. When
Napoleon's army departed for France at the
beginning of the year, and Maximilian was'left
without any supporters save such as he could
find among the Mexican people, it was uni
versally believed that the empire could not
stand for a month. This was the rminiou even
at the Court of Austria, as appeared by the
hasty application made to our Government
for its friendly intercession in behalf of the
uie ot Maximilian.
1 et Maximilian has maintained himself thus
far throughout the year, and continues up to
this time not only to hold the Liberal army at
bay, but to retain possession of the principal
seaport and the capital. The Juarest acents
tell us constantly that they are just about to
hang him; but it appears that thev have a
good deal to do yet before they get hold of
jjiuv is, mat an those who nave
ever len his supporters are forced to hold
out and light with desperation to the
very last, for they know that the hour
u'.Tr surrender insures them a bullet or
a halter.
We think our Government is called upon
to give Juarez something like strong coun
sel on this subject. Secretory Seward had
not one-half the occasion to utter his
remonstrance against French cruelty to
ward the Liberal, that l. l, . .1,.,,.

In spite of the Tribune1 1 attempt to belittle
the riots, authentic intelligence from Rich
mond, makes it evident that a saturnalia of
carnage is preveuted in that city only by the
vigilance and alertness of United States troops.
That the negroes need to be overawed and
terrified is proved by the speeches made in
the African Church, on Sunday night, by
Judge Underwood and Horace Greeley. Judge
Underwood warned them, by repeating what
one of the generals had said to him during the
day, namely, "that there was a possibility
of a riot being made by the negroes to-morrow,
and that if there was, he would plaut canuon
and sweej) the streets with grape-shot."
When the rabid and ribald Underwood finds
it necessary to go into a negro church and
utter such a warning, the volcano of riotous
passions must be on the point of great erup
tion. Mr. Greeley's speech, as reported, con
sisted almost entirely in a dissuasion from
riots. The fact that the 11th United States
Infantry is to encamp permanently in the City
Springs Park, within the city limits, shows the
necessity which General Schofield thinks him
self under, of using vigorous measures of re
pression. Ihe arrest of the Massachusetts
ladical, llayward, tor using incendiary lau
puage, and the putting him under heavy
bonds; the beating of policemen by negroes;
the patrolling of the streets by mounted sol
diers; the stationing of squads of policemen
at all the churches on Sunday to protect the
worshippers against negro outrages; and the
excited threats made by the negro populace.
are evidence of a most violent aud inflamma
tory state of feeling.
The contrast suggested by the Tribune be
tween the conduct of the neerroes in the
Southern cities and the great mass of them on
the plantations, is instructive. It affords a
correct clue to the cause of the riots. The
negroes on the plantations come into contact
only with Southern whites, and reports from
all parts of the South concur in showing that
in tne rural uisincis me ireeamen are in
creasingly orderly and iudustrious, and that
there is a gratifying friendliness of sentiment
between the two races. Why is it different in
New Orleans and Richmond? For no other
reason man because in me cities the raving
and incendiary radicals have an easy access to
the negroes, and are exerting all their energy
and ingenuity to breed mischief. If the torch
and-turpentine radicals would forbear to stir
up strite, the great problem of Southern
society would solve itself in a peaceful, orderly.
traternai manner.
These plotters of disorder refuse to let the
South alone because it is apparent that, if
things are left to take their course, the freed-
men will recognize the identity of interests
between themselves aud their section, and
that their vote will not go to strengthen the
Republican party. Perpetual discord and dis
sensions between me two races is necessary
to enable that party to reap the crop which it
has sown. When the radicals find that
though the freedmen vote, ther are not likely
to vote with them, they begin to conclude that
their advocacy of negro suffrage was a politi
cal blunder, unless they can detach the negroes
from the Southern whites. The South will
have a larger representation in Congress aud
more power in the government in consequence
of emancipation.
Unless, therefore, the bouth can he divided,
and the negroes organized as a wing of the
Republican party, the radicals have been
fabricating a weapon for their own destruc
tion. It is for this reason that they are
making desperate efforts to array race against
race. In lnllaming the passions oJ the negroes
up to the point of riotous outbreaks, the
more considerate and crafty radicals are sensi
ble that they have overshot the mark. It is
their policy to foster hatred, but to make it
run only in the political channels. The in
stigation of riots and the inauguration of a
war of races tend to a recoil which will bring
the party into odium. Hence the energy with
which the rascally Judge Underwood, whose
intimated charge so powertully stimulated
the present dangerous state of feeling, is
exerting himself to prevent an eruption of
negro violence.
