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.

Africa that he may succeed In annexing to Ettypt,"
will leave hero for Honakln, and from thence cros.i

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. At Ko
rosko Mr. llijrtfltibothiim will find nbotit
iiimo camels walling, ami he will at once strike
across the desert to Alnl Hamad, a journey of about
eleven days, unit l hence, bv licrbcr, along the bunks
of the river to Khartoum, sixteen tluvs At Klinr
toum Sir Hamuel will resume the command of the
whole expedition and go bv the river to Oondokom,
up to winch point there are luckily no rapids or fulls.
On the top or a mountain about s'xteen miles to the
south of (.ondokoro, there Is a large plateau, wnere
Sir Hamuel means to form hH irruud depot and
llrst stutlou. 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. This trlbj is
very warlike, jealous of strangers, and diilleult t
deal with ; there Is no practicable road throiiirli their
country, and the Nile from this point to ul out ninety
miles further np Is Impassable on urctiint of the
number of rapids and falls thut abound there. It,
will therefore be necessary to make a road through
this inhospitable country, and this will be the w ti k
of Mr. Illgglnbotham, while Sir Samuel H iker tries
to bring the tribe to reason. Arrived nr. the point
where it is supposed the rapids cease, one of tie
steel steamers will be put tnguihcr, and Sir dumuel
will proceed on an exploring expedition as
far us the lakes, if he finds the river
navigable, the other steumers will be constructed on
ins return, and lie will proceed with a cert iIt num
ber of men to tho lakes, lie will establish furl hied
posts ut every uvuiluble snot, and set tn work tu
subiugatc tho dill'erent tribes, und make them pav

time other troops will be forwarded from tiairo till
he has enough men to man all these posts. At every
post there will be a commercial depot, established
under tnc management of a Cont. who will lmvi t
enter into relations through barter with the natives.
All the soldiers chosen for the expedition are agri
culturists, und they will have to cultivate farms
round ubout the forts. Thev are provided with
