TUN NEW INDIAN rOTJUY. ITovkvkr much the degraded savage inny be doHpiacd, or the marauding and merciless In dia hated and feared, a largo portion of the American people will cordially endorse the 'declaration in the President's mensngo that "a system which looks to the extinction of a race is too horrible for a nation to adopt without ontailing upon itself the wrath of all Christendom, and engendering in the citizen a disregard for human life and the rights of others dangerous to society." The policy heretofore pursued in regard to the aborigi nes has practically resulted in their rapid destruction, and while it has afforded to dishonost white adventurers abundant oppor tunities to enrich themselves at the publin expense, and while lavish appropriations have Loen made nominally for the purpose of maintaining peace and instructing the rude barbarians in the arts of civilization, th IndiaiiH have steadily dwindled in numbers amidst such irritations and incessant wars that thousands of white men, women, and children have simultaneously been massacred. Each frontier settlement has its own story of bloody and fatal struggles, every new road is paved with mangled human bodies, and evory advance step is achieved only after the com mingled sacrifice of members of both the hostile races. In all this long and murderous history, tli9 Government has in many respects been much to blame not merely for neglecting and post poning obvious duties, but for the trea chery and corruption of its agents and the radical deficiencies of its traditional policy. Now, however, a new system is about to be inaugurated, and vigorous efforts are being made to protect the railway lines and new settlements which have been estab lihhed in the very heart of the old Indian domain, and at the same time to save the savage. The difficulties of this task are greater than at any former period of our his tory, but they may be at least partially sur mounted by a Commissioner of Indian Affairs who belongs to the doomed race; a President personally familiar with frontier life; a Peace Commission composed of emi nent, disinterested, and philanthropic citi zens; a Congress deeply impressed with the necessity of wise and speedy action; Quaker agent on the established reservations; and by army officers instead of plundering civilians representing the Government among the more remote tribes. It is folly to expect that ftn. immediate millennium will be esta blished on the plains. In spite of all that can be done at present, we will hear of stolen cattle, of attacks on the mail coaches, and of occasional murders. It is as natural for the Apaches and Sioux to steal and kill as it is for the hungry wolf to follow the trail of a wounded buffalo. But great ends may never theless be attained, and if the comprehensive Bcheme described in the Report of the Secre tary of the Interior is adopted, the bulk of all the Indian tribes may soon be gathered into a few extensive Indian territories (simi lar to that dow existing on the western border n of Arkansas), where the aborigines will have superior opportunities for self-elevation, and be alike free from dangerous white inroads and from the temptation to make raids on white settlements. The small reservations heretofore allotted to single tribos have speedily been surrounded by white settle ments, and after new difficulties and wars, new removals have been necessitated. The re medy now suggested is the assemblage of larger numbers of various tribal organiza tions upon larger reservations, and Secretary Cox asserts that "the time cannot be far dis tant when two or three principal Indian ter ritories may properly embrace all the tribes east of the Kocky Mountuins," and that "the same policy of concentrating the tribes will apply to the country west of the Rocky Moun tains, and will be equally necessary whenever and wherever the feuds existing among them can be so far settled that they can live to gether in peaceful neighborhood." These internal antagonisms of the Indian races, which are strengthened by the bitter recollec tion of hereditary hatreds and mutual wrongs, constitute the most serious obstacle to the proposed scheme; and it will be as difficult to prevent thet hostile branches of the red race from destroying each other as to preserve them from fatal contact with white men. Still, this difficulty may in a great measure be surmounted by judicious and effioient governmental action, and by a combination of various good ' influences. The statesmen of this era would achieve a crowning glory if, after having emancipated one race, they de vised a practical method of preserving an other from annihilation, without retarding American progress; and the deep interest now manifested in this problem may lead to its solution. Sknatob Trumbull's project for improving our civil service, and correcting the abuses into which Congressmen have fallen, it is thought will pass the Senate, but a deter mined opposition is anticipated in the IIouso, with but a poor show of final passage. Repre sentatives will, of oourso, be slow to give up the main source of their influence both at home and at the capital. But their reluc tance to make the sacrifice does not detract from the force of the arguments in favor of radical reform in the civil service. TllK AttMY. Tun reports of the Secretary of War and General Hhormiin give detailed statements of the present organization of the army of the United States, and they make a number of important suggestions by which its eflioiency may bo much increased. The territory of the United States is divided into twelve depart ments and throe military districts, which are under the command of experienced and able Generals. The duties to be performod are many and arduous, including the garrisoning of the various coast fortifications, the preserva tion of order in the late rebellious States, and the protection of the settlors on the Western plains from the Indians. The pre sent maximum of the army is 52,5S:U en listed men, who are divided into five regi ments of artillery, ten of cavalry, twenty-five of infantry, a battalion of engineers, and the cadets at the Military Academy. General Sherman states that there is not at this mo ment a single regiment in reserve, and that there is a continual call for more troops that cannot be granted, and he urgently asks that Congress will not any further diminish the military establishment, because of the great extent of our country and the unsettled char acter of the regions of the great West, in habited by nomadio tribes of Indians, from whom it is necessary to protect settlers, and because a large force is also required to guard the various roads that traverse that section of the country. The arduous character of the services of the officers and men who are on duty in the wilderness be yond the Mississippi are set forth in appro priate terms, and the consideration of Con gress is invited in their behalf. It is represented that the code of laws by which the army is governod is very antiquated ond obscure, and so encumbered by orders and regulations that it is impossible for the officers to decide what their rights and duties are, and Congress is askod to sanction the new code arranged by Generals Sherman, Sheridan, and Augur, which was submitted in January, 1808. ,, The Freedmen's Bureau has concluded its labors, with the exception of the educational and bounty divisions, and two hospitals for freednien. The number of officers, agents, and clerks has been reduced from nine hun dred to one hundred und fifty-eight, and no further reduction is considered practicable so long as the present operations shall continue. During the existence of the bureau the general average shows that about one in tno hundred, or one-half of one per cent., oi the freed people havo been supported by the Gov ernment. The Inst Board of Visitors to the Military Academy expressed themselves highly grati fied at the condition of that institution, but they considered its facilities inadequate to tho present condition of the country. The board therefore recommended that it be greatly enlarged, that the number of cadets be increased, that the standard of admission be raised, and that the cadets be divided into two classes one pursuing an ordinary course of military instruction, and its members re turning to civil life upon graduation to spread a knowledge of the military art throughout tho lund; and the other, selected from tho most promising members of the former class, and equal in number only to tho yearly wants of the army, pursuing their studies to the very limits of military science. The Inspector of the Military Academy docs not concur in all of these recommenda tions, and does not advise any present en largement of the institution. He suggests, however, that the number of cadets be in creased to four hundred, which is two-fifths moro than the number now authorized by law. With regard to raising the standard for admission, the Inspector does not con sider any change expedient, as every addition to the list of preparatory qualification ne cessarily restricts the circle from whioh cadets can be drawn, and because the present list embraces all the attainments that can be obtained by a large proportion of tho youth of the country. He recommends, however, as a substitute for the propositions of the board, schools of application for the several arms of the service, such as exist in Europe, the nuclei or two oi wmoii may be found in the artillery school at Fortress Monroe and one of the throe engineer de pots already in operation. General Sherman thinks that the regula tions with regard to tne staff ana engineer corps should be so modified that these branches of the service can be more imme diately under the control of the Gfiural-in Chief, instead of being nearly independent of him as at present. with regard to the perfection of our sea- coast forts, General Sherman cordially endorses the modifications suggested by the Engineer Department, which include the use of barbette batteries of earth, with deep parapot, and a liberal number of bomb-proof and maga zine traverses; the use of the heaviest guns practicable, with carriages admitting of the guna being depreBsod below the parapet for loading; an abundant supply of heavy mortars; and the use of torpedoes and entauglo ments to hold a fleet long enough for destruo tion. The General recommends that imme diate attention be given to the completion of the forts covering tho cities of Portland, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans, and Sun Francisco, to the neglect of other points for the present. The reports of the Secretary of War and the General-in-Chief indicate an extremely economical and efficient management of the army, and it would be highly gratifying if the same excellent systom of doing business oould be introduced into some of the other depart ments of the Government. The Frankino Privilege has been attacked in Congress at the very outset of the w&uon, a bill providing for its abolition having been introduced in the House already by Mr. Hill, of New Jersey. We can scarcely hope that the members of Congress will willingly despoil themselves of tho franking privilege; but a perusal of the Post- master-General's report, published by tw on Monday, shows how imperatively necessary such action has become. If the fr.inking privilege could bo kept within rospeotablo limits, it would be beneficial to the country; but as all attempts to so restrict it have thns fur failed, the only certain remedy for tho grievance is the possncje of Mr. Hill's bilL TllK DllKADFUI, liliAKK. Duakk is getting to be dreadful. During the summer recess he has divided his time be tween intriguing for the chairmanship of the Naval Committee of the Senate, and "ft pro tracted investigation of a grave constitutional question." Missouri, whence Drako hails, is a seaboard State, as all students of geography are well aware; and therefore Drake is quite as competent to watch over the interests of our iron-elads and wooden walls as would be the veritable Swiss Admiral whom tho eceen trio genius of Offenbach oonjnred up. But, since Senators are so loose in their geography as not to perceive the aquatio skill of Drake, the lattor has dropped his aqueous aspirations and, having nothing else to do, gives to the Senato the result of his protracted constitu tional researches. He has dived like a duck into the very depths of the difficulty discerned by him, and dragged up something which looks very much like a whale or a weasel, accord ing as we contemplate it from Drake's point of view or our own. Drake s dreadful discovery consists in tlie fact that the United States courts should be , ornamental rather than useful. Heretofore, i the theory has obtained to a considerable ex tent that one of the functions of those courts was to detect the indiscretions of Congress, and to correct the proverbial haste and reck lessness of our national legislators, by de claring null and void such of their acts as are in conflict with the Constitution of the United States. This is manifestly absurd, and calculated only to bring Congross into disrepute with such people as huve heard of the surrender of Leo and tho capture of Jeff Davis. Therefore Drake proposes to remedy tho difficulty which he has dug up by tho pas sage of a bill providing that, when Congress promulgates a law, its constitutionality shall not be questioned by any court of the United Statos or any judge thereof. If this isn t statesmanship, we should like the shade of tho immortal Daniel Webster to tell us what is. Evidently "protracted investigations" have a tendency to dumbfound Drake, and the less indulgence he gives his passion for them the bettor for the couitry in general and for Drake in particular. A Sensiiii.kMovkmknt has been inaugurated. in Congvoss by Senator Thayer, of Nebraska, who has introduced a bill requiring the planting of trees on homestead settle ments. A preat extent of our Western terri tory is treeless, and only by the planting of trees can future generations be supplied with the wood which will be needed. Not only would it be well for Congress to require the planting of trees by all the settlers on the public domain, but it would be wise for the Government itself to undertake the planting of forests on certain portions of the treeless plains of the far West. A small outlay at the present time would make a thousand fold return half a century hence. i Washington is bent upon having that in ternational exhibition, and as it will be ut terly impossible to attempt anything of the kind without material help from Con gress, the crusade against the public treasury has already been commenced. In view of all the circumstances, it will be nothing less than shameful for Congress to appropriate half a million of dollars or so towards the scheme, and it becomes the duty of the con scientious members to keep their eyes upon it. Thk Brooklyn Aldermen decline to offer a reward of one thousand dollars for the de tection of fraudulent practices at eleotions. The majority of them being Democrats, such a reward might stimulate some malicious per son to make unpleasant disclosures. SPECIAL NOTICES.
