THE DAILY EVBN11SO TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, SATURDA1', APRIL I, 1871. PUBLISHED EVERT AFTERNOON (CHDATS BXCRPTBD), AT TI1E EVENING TELEGRAPH BUILDING, No. 108 S. THIRD STREET, PHILADELPHIA. SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1871. MR. LO ON THE WAR PATH. With the departure of winter and the ap proach of the warm weather appear the ojmal indications of hostile activity among the In dians, and the proRpeots are that the coming season will be marked by the usual amount of bloodshed and outrage. A despatch from Arizona, which we published yesterday, repre sented that the Indian depredations in that Territory are increasing with frightfal rapidity, and gave a list of murders, rob beries, nd assaults committed by the savages during the month just past. It is apparent that the Indians of Arizona propose to carry on a bloody warfare during the coming sum mer, and it is not improbable that through out the entire Indian region hostilities will be resumed, and the peaceful solution of the difficulties between the white and red men be rendered harder than ever to accomplish. It is not pleasant to think of the extermination of the aboriginal raoes of this continent as the only solution of the difficulties which now exist upon our Western plains, and whioh im pede the march of civilization; but oertainly at present there does not appear to be any other practical solution, nnlesr there is a total and radical change in our whole Indian policy. The Government ought to make a more decided effort than it has ever yet done to induce the IndianB to give up their nomadio life and to settle down as cultivators of the ground. Some of them have been persuaded to do this, and with such success that there is reason to hope others will follow their example, if the proper pressure is brought to bear upon them. So long as the Indian tribes are treated with as if they were independent nations, and are bribed with gifts and money to keep the peace, so long will Indian agents have opportunities to plun der, and the usual outrages will continue season after season until the red race is finally Bwept from the faoe of the earth. But if the savages are encouraged to become citizens, and are carefully protected in their rights as such, there may be some hope for them, and some expectation that Indian warfare upon the Western plains will, ere a great many years, be heard of no more. All that has yet been done toward civilizing the savages has been done by private enterprise; but now that private individuals have demonstrated that some of the Indians, at least, are both will ing and anxious to be civilized, it is time that the publio at large, and the Government as the representative of the people, should make a really earnest attempt to put an end to a condition of affairs upon the plains which is not creditable to the nation. A HIGH- TONED JENKINS. We published, a few days ago, an extraot from an article in a late number of Scribner'a Monthly, describing a visit to the famous novelist Dumas, which was written by Mr. Bigelow, formerly United States Consul and, for some time, United States Minister at Paris, as well as ex-editor of the New York Evening Post and of the New York Times. The artiole itself is piquant and entertaining; but, in view of the nature of its, disclosures, it will afford a new illustration of the risks which every publio man encounters when he ventures to invite a New York or New England journalist or writer to partake of his domes tic hospitalities. Bigelow has oocupied high official as well as high editorial positions, and he ought to know how far the boundaries of private life can properly be invaded by pro fessional writers, more especially when such invasions involve a breach of official confl 'dence. The Arabs have a way of respecting the life and property of any stranger guest who has eaten salt with them in their tents, but Mr. Bigelow, late American Minister at Paris, appears to be incapable of comprehending that a guest can be nnder any obligations to refrain from telling the world all that he sees or hears at a private breakfast-table, to which he was invited under the impression that he possessed some of the instincts of a gentleman. Like N. P. Willis and Harriet Beecher Stowe, Bigelow regards details of private life which he ascertained in a confidential or semi-confidential way as lite rary property, to be freely disposed of to the highest bidder. He does not seem to understand that there is any impropriety in laying bare the seoret motives and wishes of his host, and the peculiarities of his habits and demeanor, or that he is under any greater restrictions than a local reporter, interviewer, or Jenkins. European writers of acknowledged reputa tion who wished to discuss with equal freedom their contemporaries (and espe cially those writers who had gained their in formation while they occupied official posi tions), have usually provided by will that 6uch comments should appear as posthu mous publications at some remote period after the death of the writer, and the death of those whose secrets or infirmities were dis closed. The feeling that this is the proper course is so strong in Europe, that strong ob jections have been made to the introduction in fiction, under fictitious names, of suffi ciently accurate descriptions of living men and women to enable their portraits to be re cognized in private circles. Bat no such feeling restrains Bigelow; and in view of win it he tells of the hopes and habits of Dumas, there is no reason why he should not disclose all the family secrets of any Parisian who was unfortunate enough to make his acquaint ance while he was acting as American Minis ter. We believe, however, that in spite of such notable exceptions as Willis, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Bigelow, there are plenty of good American writers gifted with a sense of the proprieties of life and of the neoestuty of avoiding some of the innumerable topics Whkm Ruaaf announced her determination to be no longer bound by the treaty of 18.VJ, which excluded her navy from the Black Set, there was a furious burst of rage and indigna tion in England; and, to judge from all the ex ternal eigns another great war was imminent. Russia, however, knew that her opportunity had arrived, and was determined to have her own way by fair means or by force. The British lion was soothed by means of ptciflo diplomatic notes, and the upshot of the whole affair was that a conference was held and Russia obtained all she askod for. A great war was avoided, to the intense gratification of all Englishmen who knew how unprepared they were to go into a contest, and to the in tense disgust of those who are obliged to witness the downfall of British power and influence in Europe without being able to do anything to prevent it. Consider ing all the circumstances of the case, it is painful to find a man of the influence of Sir Charles Dilke getting up in the House ef Commons and denouncing the action of Bus sia, and blaming Earl Granville for consent ing to reopen the Blaok Sea question in the London Conference. Denunciation of Bussia will not help matters a bit, but will make Gorttchakoff smile, as General Butler must have uniled at Disraeli's remarks about the discourteous treatment of England by the Ameiioan House of Bepresentatives in general and B. F. Butler in particular. The British Foreign MinisUr did the best he oould to settle the Black Sea question in a manner not abso lutely disgraceful to the Government and nation he represented, and having done his part, he deserves credit rather than oensure. All the blatant orators of the House of Com mons together could have done nothing to a'ter the results of the conference, but they might easily have complicated matters, and made the British position much worse than it really was. Sir Charres Dilke said, accord ing to the cable despatch, that the result of the conference was inevitable, owing to collu sion between Bussia and Prussia. This is very probable; but so long as the English Government could not help itself, it would seem to be the part of wisdom for English orators to endeavor to conceal their mortifi cation over an event that they were unable to obviate.
