"War or Not, as Ws CUooss."
From the Tribune.
General fchermau has loen out ou the Hams
to Bee Rfter the Indian business, and he tersely
gnms up the result of his investigation by
Baying, "We can have an Indian war or not,
as we choose." '
We beg our Uovemment at Washington to
understand that the American people do not
tn anil their hands with an Indian war.
v . - -
We beg them to reflect that the time has come
when tho nation demand a summary reform
in the inefTablo wickedness which has been
dignified by the name of "our Indian policy."
Everybody knows what that policy is to
swindle the eavages first in making our
treaties, and then in the execution of them;
to drive them from one reservation to another;
to molest them perpetually, even on the landd
we have formally Bet apart for their use; to
plunder their lodges; to insult their women;
to turn loose among them a lot of thieving
acents: to hunt them like wild game when
they get impatient under oar encroach
ments; and then to proclaim an "Indian
war," and raise a howl for "extermina
tion." We Hay th-m alive, and expect
them to smile under it. We put ipon
them tho cruelest provocation, and wonder
that they feel it. We exasperate thorn, and
grumble if they get angry. When General
Hancock met the Kiowas at Fort Larned on
the 2d of May, a prominent chief, named
Satanta, who is described as the mist import
ant Indian west of the Missouri river, was
summoned to his presence, and, in a speecli
of rude eloquence, which is not without its
touches of pathos, exposed some of the wrongs
of his tribe, and charged the Indian agent,
who was Bitting by the General's side, with
annrrmrintinrr to his own Ufi tha annuities he
' had been appointed to distribute. "I want
friends," said Satanta, "and am doing all I
can for peace. Little Mountain, who was
chief before me. did all he could to make
peace; bnt the white man kept doing some
thing bad to him, and he was in so much
misery that he died. You have cut away all

Should get our annuity goods, but I have not

honest man, and who will not steal half our
goods and hide them in the earth." And the
accusation which the chieftain made in this
pmblio manner was substantiated on the oath
of white men who had been privy to the
With what composure, after a scene like
this, the United States commander oould talk
of peace or threaten punishment, or upbraid
the untutored children of the prairie with
treachery and theft, we are at a loss to ima
gine. The case of the Kiowas is only one out
of a hundred. The best of our frontier ofu-
eers, who have passed the greater part of their
lives among the savages, are unanimously
of the opinion that we brought all our In
dian troubles on ourselves. The Western
settler is often a worse outlaw than his copper
colored neighbor; the teamster, the hunter,
the camp follower, or, worst, sometimes, of
all, the Indian agent, kindles a firebrand
of hostility which is not extinguished until
after months of desolation and bloodshed.
General Sherman is right: we can have peace
r war, Just as we choose.
' We were told that the Sioux and Cheyennes
between the Platte and Arkansas rivers were
to be hunted to the death wherever found;
and the remark was coolly added that, "as it
V one of the most difficult matters in the
world to distinguish. Sioux or Cheyennes from
Kiowas, Camanuhes, or Arrapahoes, the latter
tribes will be compelled to remain south of tha
Arkansas, unless they wish to fight." In
other words, every Indian encountered in that
fpreat belt of country, whioh forms one of the
choicest hunting grounds of the West, is to be
incontinently shot, whether friend or enemy.
This is no way for a great nation to punish a
ew savage depredators. This is no way for a
, Christian Government to avenge the wrongs
provoked by its own injustice. This is not
worthy employment for soldiers who have won
honorable scars in fighting for a holy cause.
It is nothing better than a grand battue. A
war of extermination, under suoh a system of
hostilities, indeed seems inevitable. The
question must be settled not only with a sharp
eword, but with a clear head and an honest
heart.

himself great enough in both the field aud the
cabinet to do this work; and we trust that he
will not set out on his picnio round the world
until he has averted the danger which hangs
over us the danger not only of war, but of
national dishonor.
We tell the Government again that the peo
ple choose not to have an Indian war. They
want to try a little justice before they come to
gunpowder; and if we are dragged into the
horrors of a savage campaign by reckless mis
management at Washington, or rashness in
our military councils, o the devilish trickery
of the speculators who watch for battles with

From the Herald.
In the present indeceat haste to seize and
secure that grand spoil tha negro vote, we
see the real estimate of the war that rulea in
the minds of Greeley and Company, the wilder
loaders of the Republican party. For four
jears there was a holocaust; and every family
laid its sacrifice, as it fondly supposed, on the
altar of the nation. Husbands, sons, brothers,
fathers men cherished by all the endearing
names known to humanity were proudly sent

might not perish nor Buffer shame. Devastation

THE DAILY EVENING TKLEGjAllI-riIlLAl)E Ll'lII A, WEBNESl)AY,
thnt the war had no higher or nobler object
than to give them a chance to get at the nigger
vote. All the blood shed, all the money spent,
merely moved away the obstacles tha wore
between them and such purpose. Their eagor
ness now is not to secure in the South any
national objeot that might have been worthy
such a war; not to draw towards us by wiso
laws the States that slavery had so nearly
torn away; not to establish property and per
sonal rights on a better basis; not to assure to
the country that permanent peace and tran
quillity for which such sacrifices were made.
No; their whole policy all that the war has
led them to is simply and purely an
eager, indecent, devil-take-the-hindmost race
and scramble for the votes of all the niggers
between the I'otomao and the Kio Urande.
Was it for this that the American people gave
a million lives and thousands of millions in
money f
We must understand the recent events at
Richmond in tho light of this Republican
view of the war. Republican bondsmen,
judges, jurors, and lawyers all see it the same
way, and open their mouths In an accord as
happy and harmonious as though they were
only the four-and-twenty blackbirds of the
political pie. And the burden of the song
must startle the country. We care, they say,
for no result of the war that is worthy of
respect. There was no such principle in it as
bhould make opposition a crime. It was only
our party game, and we have won. We have
removed the obhtacles to our party supre
macy ; we have access to the niggers to a
vast ignorant mass of voters whom we can
shape and use as we will, and by whose votes
we can control, not the South merely, but the
North also. Tin-re are no precedents to be
made; there was absolutely nothing in it but the
nipper; and this prisoner, who might be im
portant if there were any such National ques
tion as good government and treason at
stake, is not even worth his board in a case
mate. Such is the tune, llow does the
country like it f How will the people bear to
bo thus told, by the indifference with which
the representative of the whole tremendous
revolt is set at large, that there is no such
thing as treason ? How will they bear to learn,
by seeing everything forgotten in earnestness
to secure the nigger vote, that the great domi
nant party sees no nobler result in the war
than the chance to use the niggers f That it
can shut its eyes to the first necessities of
restoration, to the securing of peace and good
order, and harmonizing the country; nay, that
it will actually lay down a programme to im
peril again all the proper objects of the war,
rather than rik the loss of the votes it has
evidently always regarded as the grand spoil
of the struggle.
Two thoughts will grow into the national
mind as the people reflect on these events the
repudiation of the vast debt incurred for a
party purpose, and the repudiation of the
party that incurred it. If the conduct of
radical leaders forces the conviction that the
war is to have no other result than might be
summarized in a party programme, the people
will grow restive under the burden it has
placed upon them. The debt was incurred
by the people through devotion to the national
cause; if the money was spent for any less
important cause than that of saving the
nation, the people will not pay. That, in plain
English, will be one result of the last radical
assumption that the country was never in
danger that there was no traitor, no treason,
no crime; merely some inevitable political op
position, quite innocent in its nature, and for
which it would be cruel to punish any one.
Another result must be the utter destruction
of popular confidence in all those men who
have thus shown their readiness to play fast
and loose on questions that the people justly
regard as vitally important to trifle with the
life of the nation. There must and will be a
clean sweep of these political hucksters. Men
who have no other ideas of the great struggle
of modern times than it was the last political
shuffle are unworthy the respect of an intelli
gent people, and must give place to leaders
with more of the real character of the people
in them, and who, by their sympathy with the
people, can properly lead the country to the
lulfilment of the nobler parts of its destiny.
Indian Colonization.
From the Times.
At the last session of Congress a Committee
was appointed to visit the various Indian
tribes, Investigate their affairs, and recom
mend a policy to be pursued in regard to
them in future by our Government. A state
ment is published to the effect that this Com
mittee "is coming to the conclusion that the
Government had better bring all the tribes
together on liberal reservations, where they
can be cared for at a mere fraction of the
present expense."
The idea of locating the Indians on reser
vations, while it is not new by any means,
seems to be the only practical and economi
cal mode of dealing with them. But the
bringing of "all the tribes together" would
be apt to result in a series of scrimmages, be
side which Donnybrook Fair would be but a
side show, and which could only end as did
the famous light between the Kilkenny cats
There are hereditary feuds existing be
tween some of the tribes of Indians, which
nothing can eradicate bo long as there is a scalp
left among them. Bringing them together, as
the Lommittee suggest, would probably be a
good way to heal these feuds, but it would
certainly be the extermination of the Indian.
The tribes which are hostile to each other,
however, can be located on reservations widely
separated; and each being thus permanently
relieved from its predatory neighbor, could
settle quietly down to peaoeful pursuits, and
be no longer required to don the war-pauit at
short intervals, to revenge the death of some
member treacherously Blain by his old-time
foe. Experiments which have already been
maae prove conclusively tnat the wild, rovincr.
warlike tribes can be managed in such man
ner as to 'effectually prevent their warring
upon enuer the wmtes or among themselves.
Tribes have been located upon reservations,
uovernmeut has built them houses, taught
tucw to raise crops, to breed cattle and noraes,
ni..t, in niton, io abandon a precarious preda
tory life for agricultural pursuits. The expense
of so locating the numerous trills would b
quite large at first, but the sums which are
now annually wasted upon them would, in a
very lew yearn, more than cover the. cost of
transforming them into agricultural ' com
munities.
The chiefs with whom General Hancock has
lately toad interviews admit that earns is be
coming ecarce upon the plains, aud that the
Indians are becomine to a creat nxtent de
pendent upon tha whites for the necessaries of
nie. Jiiey uegin to realize that permanent
vvai us ixaier wiau acciuemai buffalo, and that
wmte man's bread is to l preferred to an
empty stomach. Located permanently upon
fertile reservations, they would soon learn,
under proper instruction, to produce these
necessary articles themselves. They have
done so in some instances, not only raising
sufficient grain for their own uses, but have
had a surplus to dispose of in market. What
has been done )y some tribes may be done
by all.
Lut should this experiment be tried, it will
inevitably result in ignominious failure and
wanton waste of public money, miles the
unprincipled traders, who have or years de
moralized the Indians, are eir.;tually debarred
intercourse with them. These gcounlrels
have Tobbed the red men in every possible
manner, aud by pandering to their worsl pas
sions, have tended to degrade them morn and
more each year. The aggressions which t he
spread of civilization have made upon Indian
territory, have had less to do with inciting the
BavageB to murder and pillage, than has the
abominable whisky with which traders have
deluged them. It is with this article of traffic
that every Indian trader expects to make his
fortune. An Indian will sell the product of an
entire hunting and trapping season for a few
drinks of whisky, and his wife and daughter
for even less. Until these Irresponsible, ras
cally traders can be cut off from communica
tion with them there can be little hope of
civilizing them or preventing their depreda
tions. The Indian agents are little belter
than the traders. And it is not unusual to
find the two combined in one individual.
High-handed robbery, debauchery, and even
murder, have always characterized their deal
ings with the red men. With such influences
still at work among them, the attempt to
tolonizothe Indians would be a total failure,
l'lace them under Christian influences, and
the scheme could not fail of being successful.
What "Will Juarea Do f
From the Tribune.
The latest despatches from Mexico, of official
character, and coming to us through Sofior
Romero, the Mexican Minister, Indicate that
the Austrian Archduke, who, under the
patronage of the Emperor of the French, en
tered the city of Mexico and assumed tho Im-
peiial crown just three years ago the 12th
of noxt month, is pretty nearly in the situa
tion in which General Lee found himself during
the first days of that most eventful of months
in our history, April, 18U5. Before this month
of May runs out, it is likely that Maximilian
may have surrendered to the enemy whose
place he has so long usurped. Except as to
the exact time, the issue is no longer doubt-
lul. lhat which is doubtful, and as to which
our people properly feel much anxiety, is
whether the conqueror who has shown so
much fortitude in adversity will act as well in
prosperity. Is Juarez wise and emlized
enough to Bhow clemency in the hour of
victory f
He has the reputaUon, among those who
know him personally, of being humane. He
is not, nor ever was, a military chief, having
never held other than civil offices, chiefly of a
judicial character. His career has been a re
markable one. Like the lamented Lincoln,
and his successor, Juarez has been a self-made
man. He is not ol Spanish blood, too prone
to severity and hot passion, but of that Zapo
teco race, whose former grandeur is still at
tested by the ruins of those funeral palaces in
which the remains of its ancient sovereigns lie
entombed. He is a native of the State of
Oaxaca, in one of the rich valleys of which
Cortez located the vast estate conferred on
him by his royal master of Spain. The
abode, in ages past, of a people advanced
in civilization, Oaxaca is inhabited now by a
population hardy, patient, and, after their
fashion, industrious and well disposed. Juarez's
father was a peasant, occupying an adobe
house in a deep ravine, near the Indian vil
lage of lxtlan. At the age of twelve he was
still herding his father's cattle; but seduced
one day by the report of the glories
of a village fair, he abandoned his charge, and
followed the crowd. All night he wandered
among the booths and stalls, amazed that the
world contained so much riches. The next
morning he hired him to a muleteer about to
proceed to the city of Oaxaca, capital of the
State. There, a worthy merchant of moderate
means, named Ealanueva, taking a fancy to
the boy, adopted and educated him. Juarez
justified his foster-father's choice. He eradu-
ated, with high honors, at the College of
Oaxaca ; and, just thirteen years after he stole
away to that village fair at the age of twenty-
nve ue was appointed 10 nu tne chair ot Ca
nonical Law in the Institute of Oaxaca, hav
ing previously been elected member of the
State Legislature. He was appointed succes
sively to various judicial offices in his native
State, among them those of Attorney-General
and l'resident of the Supreme Court of Jus
tice. At the age of thirty-Beven, he was
elected member of Congress; and the next
year Governor of the State of Oaxaca. In his
capacity as Governor, which office he filled till
1852, he evinced good administrative talent,
and made many reforms, causing schools to be
established in everjr village, opening new
roads, and encouraging mining and manufac
tures. In 1852, he was l'ermanent President
of the Institute of Oaxaca.
At that time, a centralized and irresponsible
Government, sustained by the Church and
the army held, sway. Santa Anna was dicta
tor. Juarez, having openly avowed himself
m iavor or a constitutional form of govern
ment, came under suspicion. He was exiled:
resided for a time in New Orleans; and did
not return to his country till Alvarez and
Comonfort raised the Btandard of a constitu
tional partv.
In 1855, while serving a second term as
Governor, he was called to the Cabinet, and
became Secretary of State for the Department
of Justice and Public Instruction. During
his Secretaryship was issued what was usually
called "The Juarez Law," abolishing military
and ecclesiastical jueros and other privileges,
bo as to establish, for the first time in Mexico.
equality before the law. The next year "he
was again in Congress, participating in the
framing and adoption of the constitution
of 1857. In the first election under this con
stitution, Juarez was the candidate for Presi
dent of the Progressive party. Unfortu
nately. Comonfort succeeded aeainst him,
Boon proved faithless, attempted a dictator
ship, and finally fled the country. Meanwhile,
Juaret had been elected Chief-Justice, and
became, by virtue of the office, Vice President.
On the flight of Comonfort, the Presidency
devolved on liim,
We cannot follow him through his various
acts as President. They were all in the Bense
of constitutional reform. Iu July, 185y, were
promulgated the celebrated "Laws of Reform,'
securing religious liberty, establishing hide
pendente between Church and State, legaliz
ing civu marriage, declaring me immense real
estate of be Church to the national property,
and directing its sale; also, suppressing con
ventual establishments throughout the land.
Tliree years of Btubborn struggle ensued:
the power of a tried army and the wealth of a
Church fighting for Its temporal possessions
on one Bide; the Industrious classes, poor but
determined, and with unbounded faith in their
leader, on the other. After a long succession
of varied fortune, the battle of San Miguel
Calpulalpan, in December, 18G0, destroyodhalf
the army of Miramon, dispersed the rest, and
quelled the rebellion. In June, 1861, Juarez
was reelected President by an overwhelming
majority. In the autumn of the same year
when all things promised domestic tranquil
lity, and a steady advauce on the right path,
cume General Forey and the French. Every
one Knows the sequel. "'
With such antecl'dents, may we riot expect
much from the Mexican President f The de
feat oi Miramon ana or the rebellion of whioh
he was the lmad was stained by no acts of
cruelty towards the conquered. This time it
ia ii uc, luu riiriuirn uiu lorpigners; usurpers
too, with not even tho color of title; men who
had an much right to land at Vera Cruz and
march on the City of Mexico as we would have
to land at Marseilles and march to Paris
That matters not. .. It is not what Maximilian
deserves; it is what is worthy of Juarez. No
doubt he will be beset by a popular cry for
blood. There is always more or loss of that
on such occasions during the Hush of victory;
and it usually comes, not from the brave meii
who fought, but from cowards who stayed at
home. We trust Juarez will listen to better
counsel. Policy, ne less than humanity, dic
tates mercy. Clemency will win for Mexico
the good opinion of the civilized world.
Cruelty will justify the worst that her enemies
have said against her.
bhould these lines happen to reach Juarez
ere it is too late, we entreat him to consider
that the deeds of a few days may do more to
honor or to disgrace the country he governs,
and the cause of constitutional liberty to
which he has devoted his life, than years
hereafter may be able to efface or to atone for.

FIRE AND BURGLAR PROOFSAFES
Y.OHE ADOUT
LILLIE'SCHILLED-IRON SAFES
IMPORTANT FACTS
WHICH THE TEorLE SHOULD '
"MAKE' A N O T 13 O F."
hiCT I--LII'T'IK;a1 CHILLED-IRON 8AFK9
have been lately Introduced for the last twelv
years and sold to iloe havlHK the largest amount of
valuable, as the best and most, thoroughly Jlurelar
Proof fc-ale; and, up to the Inst tlirte yeais, It has bwn
as rnre to hear nl one ot Llllle's Sales having been
rubbed by burglars, as to fee or hear ot a whtta
blaikblrd or a white elephant. Ult9
FAtTlT.-It ls notorious that the prorenslon of tb
burgmr has advanced at a rapid pace within the last
eight years, and what was thon uglily burglar-pruof
Mi'!.n B.?1 ' B7,0"wulc ccouuta for the fact thai
within the lust three years very few of Llllle's
Bates have been robbed, und tbe secret anonyuious
circulars distributed by other safe-makers lau
terly.Miowliid a tn j fno ones only. Is theBtrongeat
evidence that ti: t a very (.mall number have been
robbed to this time, notwithstanding ihelartre num
ber lu uue, aud the amount at Blake 11 successful.
Fact III. There are two, and only two. general
and leading prlncldles up n which all burglar-woof
sales are conntrueted. The one Is pourinir liould
Iron between and around bars of wrought ireu hard
ened streel, or any proper combination of metals.
This principle Is adpted by Llllle, In the Chilled!
Iron bale, aud covered aud controlled by his letters,
patent. .... , ,
The other Is made op of layers of plates, of different
metals, held together oy bolts or rivets, or both. To
this principle there are various objection: Toe
cost is double. The wrought Iron plates, w Men are
the strength of tbeeale, are outmde, and are operated
upon by the whole catalogue ot burglars' tools. Tha
bolls or rivets are easily forced by suitable tools,
with or without powder, and cannot be sustained
Ihe former principle, adopted by Little, avoids all
these objections, can he made any thtrkness, ana
withstand any amount of resistance required; avoids
the rivets, holts, etc.: has no wrought Iron outside la
be operated upon by burglars' implements. ,
Fact IV. Mr. Llllle, tbe Pater tee, so soon as ho
learned that It was postlble with the modern Im
proved tools lor burglars to grind tbrounh chilled
Iron or hardened bUtl, began experimenting to avoid
tbe dlfllculty, aud after much labor aua expense ha
bus perleeled a system lor chilllug Iron and combin
ing metals that Is eutlrely proof against the burglar's
drill, or any other of his tools, even (he wedge, war
ranted to stand tbe hardest test practicable lor any
burglar to make. As a t roof of his succees, tha fol
lowing certilicate is now oilered from tne fiuvelty
Works, New York:
OFFir-K Novelty Trow Works,
r , t, EW Yobki 18'u December, im.
Oknti.kmkn: We have subjected tbe sample of
Chilled Iron yon furnished us to the most severe tests
(as regards drilling through It) that we could bring to
bear upon 11. and without success.
It Is our opinion that it can only be penetrated by
tbe use of a large number of drills, and the expendi
ture of much power, with days of time.
And we think It impossible for a burglar, with bis
time and power, to penetrate It at all.
"xouis truly.
Isaac V. Holmes. SuperliiandanL
Lyman O. Hai.l, Foren7Dae,nl'
And the following extensive Iron ranufacturers In
Philadelphia, Boston, and Chicago, after the most
thorough tests, ilud the result (o be substantially tha
same. ,
And Ihelr prlnr',pfti iron Workers so certify:
Messrs. Metric & Bon, Souihwark Foundry, Phila
delphia, ,
'i he Flnkley & Williams Works, Boston, Mass,
The Union Foundry and tbe Northwestern Foun
dry, Chicago. Ill,
Fact V. The proposition made the public hereto
fore Is now renewed : I will furnish Safes or Vault
Doors, of same size and capacity of other best makers,
and at one-third less price; and the tame may ba
tested when finished, and I will furnish the man to
test the work of any other maker, and he shall fur
nish the man to teat my work ; and the party so order
ing may accept the work which stands the most re
sistance, In any way or manner practicable for a burglar
to work,
Fact VI. I would now say to any of the owners of
Llllle's Bales, that, In view of tha preceding facts, if
they feet the need of additional security. I will ex
change with them, on lair terms, giving them all tha
late Improvements, and the Increased security, which
Is claimed to be beyond the reach of Burglars, nnlil
some new system shall ba developed In tbe working
of Iron, which would now seem hardly possible. -
Fact Vii. It Is true that tbe Sheet-Iron or common
8aie, as now made, under ordinary clrcumsiauces
tana wuen uoicrusneu uy ine mil oi wans or iiiuDers
...IU . M T . . . U T. . ....... U... ID. , UUH I. - I 1 . I ( . .
vere it has to be copied, fur the Ink will SOou fads out;
besides, the sale Is twisted up and useless. .
It Is equally true that the Chilled-iron Safe saves
the written matter In a perfect state, that it does not
lade out or require copying, aud lhat the safe itself
Is ready for lurther use. Any number or trials lu
fires, certilled to, prove these tacts, aud U any of tbe
sale venders wbo are distrlbutlug secret, anonymous
circulars to injure the reputatlou ot LILLIE'd SAFE,
are not satistied with these statements, they can hava
the opportunity of testing by tire one of their own
bares with LILLIE'S, ou equal terms, whenever
they so decide.
Fact VIII. In answer to the story circulated by
Interested parties, that Llllle's Hafe bad goue up, aud
had ruined Llllle, etc., I would say that at no lime lu
the last two years could Llllle t Bon half supply tha
demand lot ttfes, and were under the necessity ef
formiug a large stock company, with a very large
capital, to meet tbe demand; aud Mr. Lewis Llllle, Br.,
IB now the president of that company, which isloouted
on the Lielaware, in Pennsylvania, near Eustou, aud
Is the largest Bafe Works probably In existence, aud
will be able to supply all demands for Bales, Locks,
Chilled-Iron Vaults, eta
In conclusion, I beg to call the attention of my
patrons aud frlenus, and the public, to the faots her
presented, aud to say thai I am very thankful for
fast tavors. and that I urn nrepared to furnish LIL
,1VB BU KOLA 11 AND FlKfci AND BURULAK
PJiOOF SAFES, VAULT iMMJltS. CHILLED 1.KOX
VAULTS and COMBINATION LOCKS, altatshort
notice, warranted to be the best aud cheapest iu
market. I also keep constantly a lurge assortment
of second-hand Fire Prooia, taken lu exchange for
Lima's Burglar Proofs, of ihe hest-kuowu makers,
all put In good order, aud offered at blow usual auo -tion
prices.
