CORRUPTION IN ENGLAND AND TUB UNITED STATES. Whatever Is may be said of the elections in lliis country, they Rre remarkably free from the vice which has always prevailed to an ftlaruiing extent in Eli gland the open pur chase of voters. Nearly every other form of corruption ia practised here to an alarming extent. Men are paid for the exertion of their influence in the election of delegates to nomi nating conventions, delegates are not unfre quently bought outright, or men maybe hired to perpetrate frauds on election days, but direct bribes are rarely ottered to any con siderable portion of the mass of voters. In lluodo Island it is said that hundreds, and even thousands, of votes are Bometimes pur chased, and in one of the counties of New Jersey the Kftnie piwti.-e is occasionally re sorted to; but those exception only prove tlio prevalence of the general rule of abstinence from this extravagant and foolish method of influencing elections. "We fern- that many of our modern politicians are not a whit more virtuous than the Lritish candidates for Par liament. They do not hesitate to buy seats in the Sennte from venal Legislatures, or to buy nominations; but the joint influence of laws prohibiting open bribery to voters, the conviction that a vast amount of money may be spent for that purpose without sensibly affecting results, and the superior virtue of the American people, enable them to present A favorable contrast with their r.ritish cousins, which is more apparent than real. As they have no equivalent in England for our nominating system, the voters exercise in many boroughs the powers which are ex ercised here in part by delegates: besidM. elections, which are so common and frequent in the United States, are comparatively rare in Great Britain. So that it is somewhat difficult to correctly estimate the extent of the criminality of the corrupt ionists of the two uations, but it is by no means improb- j able that in a given period, of say four years, j more money is corruptly used to secure the : nomination and election of Seuators, Con- I gressmen, Governors, legislators, and other officers in the United States than is expended j in bribes by the candidates for Pttrliument iu Great Britain. It must be confessed, how- 1 ever, that some of the contests in England are wonderfully expensive, and the investi gations recently made by Parliament show that British . voters have not yet been cured of the venality for which they have long been famous. It is only lately that a serious effort has been made to pre vent the systematic purchase of seats in Tarliament. The penalties inflicted were so slight as to purposely encourage the con tinuance of the practice, and one of the pecu liarities of the British system was, that while the voter who received a bribe was subjeetod to punishment in case of conviction, the candidate who corruptly used money to secure his election was not liable to any legal, moral, or social accusation of criminality. To re form this evil a late British law prescribes the remedy of temporary disqualification: and the man who is convicted of having resorted to bribery cannot profit by his own wrong by holding a seat in Parliament. In this country the rigid application of a similar rule would do more to purify our politics than any measure which has hitherto been suggested. We, too, are guilty of the error .which the British Parliament suffered to re xnain uncorrected up to a recent period. If a man buys a seat in the United States Senate, or buys an important nomination for a lucra tive Row office, or a Governorship, or a legis lative or Congressional position, we quietly permit him to enjoy the fruits of his iniquity, and pay a continual premium to rascality by Buffering vice to stalk boldly into high posi tions of honr and profit. Skill in the arts ' of corruption is the most important qualifica tion of many of the leading politicians of the day. This trait is condemned by public sentiment, but in .the absence of legal cor rectives, popular indignation is power less. The trail of the ser pent will continue to be painfully apparent in many directions, so long as we permit men to hold offices obtained directly or indirectly by bribery. Another feature of the new British system is that, instead of accusations of bribery being heard before a Parliamentary commit tee, they are investigated by a commission poasessing powers similar to those exercised by judges of courts. The opportunities for smothering up inquiry are thus greatly diminished. The application of a similar rule here would go far to aid in the suppres sion of one of the glaring evils of the day. If it was fairly in operation, and a newly elected United States Senator from Pennsyl vania, for instance, was suspected of having paid members of the Legislature for their votes, tl is suspicion would be subjected to a judicial inquiry, and if it was found to be well grounded, the aspirant for a seat in the Capitol building at Washington would bo obliged to return to private life. We are now without a remedy against the corruption of legislators whose venality has become even more noto rious than the venality of tho electors of the worst districts of Great Britain. Experience has demonstrated that the check recently establibhed in that country is equally noces sary here. Congress could easily devise tho necessary machinery for putting it in prac titMil operation, so far as the election of r-uiivafd officers Oi3 rpfrcsoutativos i de cerned, and this example and aid w. ild prompt the people to extend the reform o every ramification of our complicated politioal system. THE SOLUTION OF THE INDIAN PROBLEM. We have received from William Welsh, Esq., an interesting report of a visit made by him to the Santee and Yankton Sioux Indians, in Nebraska, which we regret that, on account of its length and the crowded state of our columns, we are unable to lay before our readers in full. Mr. Welsh makes a most gratifying exhibit of the progress made in Christian civilization by those tribes, mainly through the labors of Bishop Whipple and Rev. Mr. Ilindman, of tho Episcopal Church, who have labored among them with indefati gable zeal for some years past. The results achieyod among these savages point to the true solution of the Indian problem, and prove the correctness of the opinions frequently advanood in these columns, that the only manner iu w hich the red men can be saved from cruel extermina tion is to encourage them to settle down upou their own lands and work for their living iu a decent and orderly manner. Almost without aid from the Government a few Christian men have accomplished wonders with these Sioux and Santee tribes, and it only needs that Congress should take intelligent action, by strengthening tho hands of the Presi dent ond removing the administration of In dian affairs out of the sphere of party polities, to produce like results among all the wander ing tribes of the great West. The first great task of the missionaries was to inspire the Indians with a correct idea of tho value of labor, and to show them tho real beauties of the Christian religion ond the superiority of Christian civilization over the squalid poverty of their nomadic life. Mr. Welsh describes tho Sautees of the Upper Missouri as having neat log huts, and as being engaged in the tillago of the ground, from which they have succeeded in getting good crops. They are much inte rested in the religious services, and the goo.l influences of Christian instruction are appa rent in their quiet and orderly lives, and in the disposition thai they show to advance themselves in knowledge and in the arts of civilization. Some of them have been dis couraged by the non-fulfilment of the pro mises made by ageuts, and they now all feel more or less unsettled by not possessing the land in severalty, and in the uncertainty of their situation. Their past experiences make them fear that they may be driven from their reservations and all their, labor lost, and they are exceedingly anxious to have the ownership of the ground absolutely assigned to them, and to be sup plied with stock and farming implements. If this is done, and tho knavish agents, who are the main causes of most of our Indian diffi culties, can be kept away from them, the ex ample of these tribes will bo of great impor tance in aiding the labors of those who are endeavoring te save from utter destruction the remnant of tho red race that now exists on tho great plains. The winter is now near at hand, and it will be a comparatively easy task, if the proper means are used, to collect all or uearly all the Indians on reservations. They should be made to understand that tho land is their own if they choose to take it and use it, and that no one will bo allowed to interfere with them The President undoubtedly desires the welfare of the Indians, but his hands are tied, and he can really accomplish very little by himself, as Mr. Welsh plainly states that political influences have greatly retarded the work of civilization among tn savages, and it is a disgrace to the nation tuat it should be so. As matt era now stand the Indian ring has complete control of the Senate, and that body cannot bo made to move in the matter of re forming existing abuses unless the voice of the people of the country is hoard in a most emphatic manner. Tho nation owe9 it to itself and to the civilization and Christianity that it professes to represent, tuat a proper effort should be made to convert tho Indians into orderly and law-abiding cilir.eus. Out rages on their part must be suppressed and punished at all hazards, even if they are ex terminated in the conflict, but that at least a remnant can be saved we sincerely believe, if the proper influences are brought to bear Mr. Welsh states that funds are needed to place the Sioux mission on a proper basis, and we hope that the money will be forth coming without any difticulty. Millions of dollars are sent out of the country yearly for the purpose of Christianizing Africa, China, and other distant lands, while here at our own doors there is a missionary work to be per formed that is fully as important as any. A few thousand dollars judiciously expended by such men as Bishop Whipple and his assist ants will do more for the Indians than all the enormous expenditures of the Government, and those who give will have the assurance that it will, every dollar of it, be properly applied.

Kir Hiimuel will be ac companied by Idy linker, Lieutenant Maker, K. N. (nephew of Hlr rtainueb, and Dr. (Jedfce. Ho also takes with him some rockets and light gum for mountain warfare. 'Jhe other parts of tho ex pedition, under the temporary command of Mr. K. llipglnhotham, civil engineer, who also has re ceived a firman from the viceroy, ordering all per sons between Cairo and Khartoum to niford him every possible assistance, will take the Nile route as far as Korosko. Mr. iliKftlnholliam Is stvled "cntfl-neer-in-chlef to all the provinces of Central Africa about to be annexed to Egypt," lie tikes with him the two steel steamers, six English and forty Arab mechanics, and the rest of the burgage and timr chandlHC for barter, and will have to ascend the Assouan Cataract, which at the present moment Is uneasy matter, on account of the high Nile, but if his departure is delayed much longer he will llnd It dllllcult to draw his heavily laden boats above the cataract.

The position Is verv healthy, und the expedition is provided with a quantity ol corrugated iron rooilng on account of the periodically heavy rains that fill in this region. Here the real dlillculties of ilia expedition begin, for a few miles further ou com mences the territory or the Barry tribe.
