A BOA11D OF INDIAN INSPECTORS. The bill recently Introduced in the Senate by Mr. Wilson "to promote the civilization of Indians, and to prepare them for the rights and duties of citizenship," is apparently de signed to systematize the work which the President entrusted, some months ago, to a commission composed of gentlemen of the highest standing. The efficiency of their labors was much weakened by the confliot of Authority arising from diverse laws and the want of a clear understanding in regard to the extent of their powers. The new bill, if passed, will obviate, to a groat extent, these difficulties. It will entrust to the proposed board (of which the Secretary of the Interior and the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, for the time being, are members) the supervision of all expenditures for the benefit of "Indians in amity with the United States," and with the general management of the friendly tribes, while the hostile Indians will be left to the control of the War Depart ment. The experience of the country has demonstrated that the first essential step in civilizing the Indian is a thorough flogging. Nearly every formidable tribe has in turn un dergone this process, and there can be no en during peace on the frontiers until those tribes whioh are still vaiu and foolish enough to imagine that they can defy the Government and massacre white men with impunity are overwhelmingly defeated and humbled by American soldiers. The great defect in our eyatem arises from the inadequacy of the means hitherto provided for the management of the Indians after they have been com pelled to sue for peace. The praotioal working of the machinery of the Indian Bureau has been to the last degree disgraceful and dofioient. An expenditure of millions of dollars per annum has been so badly mis managed that it has done, on the whole, in finitely more harm than good. It has tended rather to foment new wars than to maintain peace. It has done more 'to brutalize the Indian than to elevate him. It has served to enrich a horde of white rascals, from the heads of bureaus and pretentious superintendents down to cheating agents, while it has con taminated the Indian with all the curses, and endowed him with none of the blessings, of civilization. White tax-payers and the nomi nal red recipients of the liberal appropria tions which are continually made by Congress have been alike victimized, without any sub stantial and permanent good being accom plished, or any other positive result being clearly perceptible than the perpetual reitera tion of the old story that Indian agents, superintendents, and contractors amass wealth, while the Indians under their ohargo grow poor, and in some cases literally starve to death. If this system oannet be improved it had better be abolished in toto. It would be quite as honest and creditable for the nation to ab rogate all the old treaties by a sweeping law, as to continue to permit swindling agents to rob the Indians of the benefits we have only pretended to confer. The new bill, however, embodies -a reform whioh may do much eood. and can in no event make bad worse. It will prove a diffioalt task, under the most favorable ciroumstances, "to civilize, Christianize, and mtke productive citizens of the Indians." The experiment has been tried over and over again on Ameri can soil. The labors of the Moravians, the Jesuits, the Quakers, and other sects have not unfrequently been attended with partial success, but they have rarely been able to fender any considerable body of Indians proof against the contaminating vices of civiliza tion. Judicious labors oonduoted among tribes which saw no white men save the few who exercised a positively good influence have nearly always proved fruitful, but such isolation has been, as a rule, a prime requisite of success, and it is ex tremely difficult to guard the friendly tribes from contaminating associations. In a few instances even this difficulty has been partially overcome, however, and it may still be possible, by a vigorous and combined effort of the Government and the religious bodies of the country, to save and elevate a considerable proportion of the aborigines. If Senator Wilson's bill becomes a law, this question will probably be thoroughly tested. The nation has demonstrated its ability to safely incorporate in ene body politio not only all the diverse races of Europe but the sable African, and it is opening up a plaoe for John Chinaman. So let ns not settle down into the conviction that extermination affords the only permanent solution of the Indian problem until the new Board of Inspection has bad a fair chance to try its hand at civi lizing the natives. t " PUBLIC EXECUTIONS. ' Is spite of the law providing that criminals sentenced to death shall be privately executed, means were devised at Huntingdon on Wed nesday last to enable thousands of persona to witness the execution of Bohner and Boden berg. Thronging crowds are as eager now as in the days of our ancestors to witness "a hanging match;" and while the injunctions of the law are fulfilled with the utmost fidelity in Philadelphia and a few of the more popu lous interior counties of the State, they are practically a dead letter in many localities. When other devices fail, deputy sheriffs by the hundred are' sworn lnf laid the spirit of the existing staluto is filiMTKifully disregarded. This evil, coupled with the analogous one of imperfect arrangements made by bungling sheriffs, clearly indicates the necessity of now legwla tion on the subjeot. In Franoe, we believe, ono man superintends all the executions in every pBit of, the empire, and if we must continue to hang mon, there can be but little doubt that this nnploasant duty would be more skilfully and humanely performed if it was entrusted to an offloial who was fully im pressed with the necessity of a striot com plianoe with the law requiring privaoy, and at the same time competent to avoid the painful scenes of legal butohery whioh are from time to time reported in this and other States. OUR CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY. 1m the National House of Representatives yesterday, lion. D. J. MorreU, of Pennsyl vania, Introduced a bill to provide for the proper celebration of the centennial annu versary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, to take place at Philadelphia in the year 1876. The bill, whioh was re ferred to the Committee on Manufactures, is an excellent preliminary step in the direction of a definite arrangement for the grand national event, and it ought to receive the candid consideration of Congress. It pro vides for the creation of a commission, to censist of not more than three delegates from eaoh State, whose duty it shall be to prepare a plan for holding a great international exhi bition, after conference with the authorities of the city of Philadelphia, and to select a suitable site for the erection of the necessary build ings within the corporate limits of the said city. The commissioners are to be appointed within one year after the passage of the aot, by the President of the United States, by and with the advioe and consent of the Senate, and in addition to these, throe alter nate commissioners for eaoh State are to be appointed, who shall assume the plaoe and perform the duties of the original commis sioners when they shall be unable from any cause to attend the meetings of the commis sion. The commission is to report to Con gress at its next session a complete plan for the reception and classification of articles in tended for exhibition; a suitable date for opening and for closing; a sohedule of appropriate ceremonies for open ing or dedicating the exhibition; a plan or plans for proper build ings; a plan for conducting the finances and guaranteeing the expenses that may be in curred; the requisite custom house regula tions fer the introduction into this country of articles from foreign countries intondod for exhibition, and all other neoeasary dotails. The commissioners are not to receive any com pensation, and their travelling expenses aro not to exceed the mileage of members of Con gress, and the commission is not authorized to incur any expense, except for a competent clerk, unless authorized according to law. Whenever the President of the United States shall be informed by the Governor of the State of Pennsylvania that provision has been made for the exclusive oontrol by the United States of the proposed exhibition, the President is to make, by the Department of State, a proclamation of the same, setting forth the year in whioh the exhibition will take place, and the city in which it is to be held, and he is to communicate to the diplo matio representatives of all nations copies of the same for publication in their respective countries. Independently of every other considera tion, there is an historical propriety in cele brating the centennial anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia that cannot be disputed, but in addition to this there is no other city on the continent that presents so many advan tages for the proper holding of a groat in ternational exhibition. New York some yoars ago attempted to rival the first great exhibi tion in London in 1851, and made a dead fail ure of it, which ought to be sufficient to prevent Congress from attempting anything of the kind in that locality again. Here we have ample space in our Park for all the necessary buildings, and we have ample accommoda tions for the comfortable lodging of all the strangers who may come to rejoice with us in the celebration of the one-hundredth anniver sary of our national existence. There are certainly a sufficient number of disinterested men in Congress to acknowledge the proper claims of Philadelphia in this matter, and we do not doubt that all the essential features of Mr. Morrell's bill will receive the votes of a large majority of both houses. Tnx bill for the payment of the State His torian and his clerical force for the last year was passed by the State Senate yesterday, with an amendment reducing the clork hire from $5800 to $3200. It would be a matter of great gratification to us if we could dis cover what benefits are derived from the labors of the State Historian by anybody but himself. If in the matter of clork hire alone he contrives to run up a bill of $5800, what must his own expenses be? The faot is that the State Historianship is a job for the espe cial purpose of taking as much money as pos sible out of the State Treasury for the benefit of certain individuals, and it would not be continued for a day if the Legislature were composed of honest men who had the inte rests of the publio at heart. It is not as great a swindle, perhaps, as some others per petrated under legislative auspices, but it is a swindle of sufficient magnitude to demand emphatio condemnation. Nobtbsrn Pacific Railkxud.

The building of the railroad north from St, Paul to Duluth. at the head or Lake Superior, where five railroads will soon centre llio construc tion of tho Northern Paclilc Railroad, already bKna and the rapid development of a new and produc tive country In Minnesota and the Northwest, mu.it furnish a largo Southern tranic. As the Upper Mississippi U frozen over during the winter, and it navigation Is often uncertain during the summer, from low water, this road must havoalall times a largo amount of transportation, ana a monopoly of the business at some seasons of the year. Its con nections with other lines interested by mutual own ership or running arrangements; will give It almost the entire north and south travel between its termi nal points and their vicinity.
