THE INDIAN COUNCIL. From the K. F. Timet. The "new departure" of the ted men is, when considered as a chapter in human pro gress, perhaps a more momentous event than the great political juggle which the Demo cratic pale-faoea have been seeking to aooom plish under that title. Mazzini the other day ridiculed the idea of the French Oommnnists going back to the Middle Ages for a politioal idea, and asked why they should have stopped Bhort of the patriarchal unit of government the family or the tribe. In the Indian effort to form a self-governing community, we have an illustration of exactly the reverse of the latter alternative. The patriarohal organi zation which our race left behind them on the steppes of Asia finds its duplicate on the Western plains. The most advanced of the political systems of the world finds itself face to face with the most primitive whence it has been evolved, and the tribe is suddenly compelled to adapt itself to the township, the electoral district, and all the institutions which these bring with them, or submit to the terrible certainty of decay and ultimate extinction. The "live nations" of the Indian Territory number less than sixty thousand, but they present a conclusive proof that the red man can be civilized, and they are the only medium through which we can hope to reclaim the wild tribes of the plains.. Their country comprises "one of the riohest and most fertile regions in the United States," is 882 miles long, 208 miles wide, and contains 70.45G square miles. It has been described as containing fifty millions of acres of land, and as being equal to seventy States of the size of llhode Island, end about one end a half of the size of New York. For every man, woman, and child in the Indian Territory there is thus, at present, an ' area of not much less than one thousand aores, so that the territory can undoubtedly sustain with very great ease the six millions claimed for it by General Sherman, and as large a field as could possibly be desired on which to work out a great political and social experiment. The Territorial Constitution on which the General Council at Okmulgee is at present deliberating is in many points merely an ex pansion of the existing politioal usages of the "Five Nations." Among the Cherokees, for example, there exist already an upper and lower Legislative Chamber returned by nine district, and elected after a fashion essentially representative. The new Consti tution aims at effecting a fusion which shall be first political and then sooial. Its proba ble results were thus described by General Sherman: There will be no longer Greeks, Choctaws, or Cherokees; all the titles of the tribes will be merged in one people, and all executive, legislative, and judicial functions will ba consolidated in one centre. It is precisely at this point that the true In dian problem is touched, and from it the dif ficulties in the way of the acceptance of the Territorial constitationjwill be found to arise. "We have long since discovered that a radical error was committed in dealing with the In dian tribes as with independent nations. We are more slowly becoming awake to the f aot that in doing our best to strengthen the tribal organization of the Indians we have made no less decided a blunder. If the In dian is to survive on this continent at all, it must be by elevating himself to the social,ia dustrial, and political level of the white man. With time and opportunity, it is pretty obvi ous that he can do this. It is equally cer tain that the maintenance of the authority of the chiefs and their belongings forms one of the most potent obstacles to Indian pro gress. Among the semi-civilized tribes this is speoially obvious. We intrust to the chiefs for distribution a large proportion of ur bounty, or of the returns of funds held in trust by the Government. The nominal head of the tribe thus becomes vitally interested in resisting that certain decay of his authority and importance whioh results from the adop tion of civilized usaees. Nothing brines out the independence of the individual so strongly as our republican freedom, while nothing is more inconsistent with its legitimate exercise than the perpetuation of a kind of dignity which has no significance apart from barbar ism or warfare. To the provisions of . the Constitution whioh was drafted in December last for the new Territory of Oklahoma, we have pre viously adverted. ; They do not differ in any marked degree from the type which prevails in the other States. It was expeoted that be fore the present meeting of the General Council the new! constitution would have been formally aooepted by the various tribes in the Territory. The Indian seems, how ever, to be as jealouB of his distinctive tribal organization as any old German Duchy was of its mimio court and its solemn f aroe of State administration. It is easier to control the outward semblance of deliberative and representative bodies than to grasp the new idea of a ooalesoed nation on which they rest, It is requisite to bear in mind that the Indian tribes have historical memories whose foroe we'are very apt to underrate. For example, the Cherokees, no later than ten years ago were said to have numbered 25,000, while at this moment they do not contain more than 10,000 sonls. Ascending by ever widening gradations like this, through the decades of a couple of centuries, we begin to find our selves in the presenoe of a veritable nation whose seven great olans are still represented on the seven-pointed star of their State seal, and whose original wealth is but faintly re- produced in the four millions of acres of land which they hold in fee simple, and the four millions of dollars of trust funds on whioh the Government pays them an annual interest, A competent authority states that previous to the war the Cherokees "owned immense herds of cattle, one individual alone owning 20,000 head. Others owned 15,000, 10,000, and so down to 300, and the man who owned less was considered a poor Indian." Of other tribes Bimilar statements might be made, and they are of immense importance in helping us to estimate the difficulties whieh arrest the com pletion f Indian union as well as the great Bess of the wrongs whose memory still be rets distrust of oar intentions towards the red men. A NUT TO CRACK. . From the Frankord Philadelphia) Herald. The Republican party has made its nomi cations, and we are told it is "the best tioket the party has had for years. For several weeks past there has been an immense amount of talk among the people and in the news papers in this section of the State about "mu nicipal reform." Outsiders, who bad almost , despaired of Philadelphia freeing herself from the clutches of corrupt men, grew hopeful and began to rejoice in the belief that the people of this great city had fully determined to thwart th iniquitous schemes of the de signing demagogues who have so long swayed euth tremendwus power. It was well known that corrupt combinations had been formed having for their object the nomination of certain obnoxious individuals for the various municipal offloes. The knowledge of this tact and also of the equally importan one that these men would be mdetatigabie iu their efforts to accomplish their purposes, was the immediate cause of the great oatory to which we have just referred, mere was heard an earnest and determined protest coming from a large portion of the best ele ment oi tne .republican party, it saia as plainly as words could say: If these objection able, inoompetent, unworthy, and corrupt men are nominated we will not support them! Was tne voice needed? u so, uowr uia a single man bo uncompromisingly opposed withdraw? If so, who? No! The warning was treated with the most stucnea contempt. and the verv slates whioh had excited so muoh indignation were confirmed by nearly every convention. Now. we are driven to one of two conclusions. viz.: Either the intelligent Republicans who so earnestly protested against the nomination of the ticket which has been presented were mistaken, were grossly in error, or the greater part of the ticket nominated is unworthy the support of honest men. We do not propose to solve this question nere and now, we respectfully present it to our thoughtful and independent readers tor tneir caret ai conside ration. Ilaving an eye to the common good, we had ardently hoped tbe Republican party would nominate only Honest, upright, incor rupt, and oompetent men; such men as would be in every way worthy tne support of good citizens, knowing that such a course would have a wholesome effect upon the managers of tbe Democratic party, who would then not dare to place any but similarly fit and oom petent candidates in opposition, and thus we would have two tickets worthy a hearty sup port from the people according to their re spective politioal preferences. To the De- make good nominations, the people demand it show your respect for them by complying with that demand. In the contest before us the duty of every man who has the welfare of the nation at heart is plain, too plain to be mistaken by any but the careless or the wilful. That duty is to march up to the polls and vote only for good men, and if the alternative is to vote for bad men or none at all. then not to vote! In this way only can we accomplish anything, for just so Ion? as we denounce and oppose the nomination of bad men and then heartily support them after they are nominated, just so long will we be disgraced and cursed as we are to day. THE DEATH OF MR. VALLA.NDIGHA'il. Prom the A. r. World. The death of Mr. Vallandigham will be sin cerely regretted by his fellow-Demoorats in all parts of the country, and by none more sincerely than those who have not shared the extreme opinions which, until the late Ohio Convention, had in him a foremost representa tive. He was a politician in whom an un bounded ambition perhaps outran the measure of his faoulties; but he was a politician of dis tinct principles and incorruptible integrity. His politioal course was guided by his intel lectual judgments, and he took the obloquy which they . brought upon him during the trying days of our civil wa without blench ing, without abating a single jot tneir stead fast utterance. Imprisonment and exile were tbe punishments laid upon him for opinion's sake. But these beoanie a crown of political martyrdom upon his head and a lasting stigma upon the memory of Mr. Lincoln who had forgotten, and upon the names of Stanton and Burnside who had never learned, the first lessons of civil liberty. This, indeed, was Mr. Vallandigham s chief distinction in the politics of his time. Before the war he had never gone beyond soores of his contemporaries in the application to af fairs, or the advocacy, of the principles of a pure Democracy. And a certain acerbity of temper might have hindered his further pro motion despite his unquestioned capacity of werK and tne intensity of nis mental ener gies. At the outbreak of the war he joined bands with those who sought to lead the Dem ocratic party into paths fatal alike to it and to the country; and during the war. by his os tentatious and sincere boldness, he contri buted in no slight degree to paralyze the popular effect of the rejection of his opinions and his leadership by the vast majority of his party. Since the war he had not allied his name with any publio measure of sound or unsound politics, until, within the month whioh also sees his Bad and untimely death, he oame forward and proclaimed, with the manly frankness and the unhesitating bold ness which marked all his politioal utterances, his conviction that the decision of his party, matured at the East and at the West and fast maturing at the South, concerning the issues of its future contests, had now by him and all who went with him (for none had gone beyond him) to be acknowledged and obeyed. But Mr. Vallandigham will live in the his tory of his country despite this isolation from the progress of his party, despite tbe small share he has enjoyed of its publio honors, and despite that he is cut off in the very ma turity of his faculties when a new and bril liant career seemed opening before him wherein all his compatriots might have given him a hearty godspeed. He will ldng be remembered for the courage and the con etancv with whioh in his own party he main tained unpopular opinions, whioh if fatal to its success were fatal also to his own advance ment. But he will chiefly be remembered in this and future times for his unflinching ad vocacy and exhibition of the American free man's right to freely think and freely speak. For this he suffered as few of the thousands of victims suffered whom the Lincolns, the Stantons, and the Bumsldes of our diaor dered times tore from their homes without indicia! warrant, immured in dungeons, im prisoned in forts, tormented with cruel and unusual punishments, cut off from their friends and the world, exiled across the bor der or over , the seas, or liberated without remo-ring the Btigma of crimes which if ever alle; jd were never proved, and after giving by :aw the form of justice to a complete da nial of future redress. He bore his sufferings manfully, even when they were embittered by the refusal of his fellow-citizens of Ohio to vindicate his essential patriotism and their fundamental law: and, rerchance, when tne pasaiocB of oar civil war have passed from the hearts of living men into the pages of history, those who shall then be charged with the care of "liberty guarded by law" may bold -1 Is name in higher honor than even tbev w .oe tours will wet the sod above bis grave. , THE CIVILIZATION OF THE HALTER. Wrrm thi H. T. tribune. We are not sure that anything we may say can id force to the lesson in tbe great xuuitl institution of hanging which the Mem- ptib r-iorure nave nnoonsoiousiy taught us by tLeir tiy of a recent execution in Ar kansas. The average Memphis journalist luuiu upon blood aud bruises with a sort of relish which we are not wholly able to appre ciate, and describes oeatn with a charming vigor and freedom of style whioh we should strive in vain to copy, iienoe, if it were pos sible to add a brighter glow to the rosy f aots connected with the violent taking oil of John Roseborough and Henry Harris the other day at Marion, Arkansas, wo should undoubtedly find it in the graphio narratives of the Mem phis papers from which we have already given our readers an abstract. But the plain facts were so eloquent that rhetorio i i i -: 1 rnu- i -1 i it. wouia wuiy opun xu culprits, vum negroes, were confined in the same cell, in a little lour-room jau, ana the gaiiows upon which they were to vindicate the ma jesty of the law was ereoted in a corner of an - 11 . . 11 inclosure Burrounaing me Duuamg. wiienau was in readiness, tne sneriH waited upon nis prisoners and requested them to come out and e nangen. just nere there was an unfortunate iiteu in the arrangements. The prisoners refused to come. Somebody had given teem an iron bar, and with this tney stood at bay. They blocked the narrow entranoe to the cell, brandishing their weapon, filling the air with curses, shrieks, prayers, threats, and hymns, and vowing to slay the first man who oossed the threshold. Xhe sheriff "reasoned with them" in vain. He begged them to come out and do things "decently and in order. lie "didn t want any fuss, and preferred not to "mutilate them. In fine, he put it to them, as men of taste, that it would be best to step out peace ably and have a nice quiet funeral. If he had been their own father he could not have urged the point with more tenderness; but, to quote the terse language of a Memphis reporter, the prisoners only "riled up." Hereupon "Mr. Manus said he would go in there and take out those prison ers." Mr. Menus disappeared for a moment into the hideous darkness, and after a brief interval tumbled out again "with blood squirting out ot his jaw aud his nose jerked around the other way." To quote once more the Memphis report, "the prisoners bad signified their intention to see this thing through." Meanwhile a tumult raged among the citizens of Marion who had come to see the show. In the jail yard there were fifty men, all armed to the teeth, all pointing their suns and revolvers at tbe prison door, and all howling because the sheriff would not let tb.t m go in and shoot the negroes in their hole. Outside the yard were a thousand more, maddened by the sounds of a fight in which they were not allowed to share, and brandishing firearms in the most unpleasant manner. Just at this moment "Chief O'Donnell, of Memphis, put iu an appearance." To the sheriff Chief O'Donnell proposed a little ar rangement. "He said he had a few friends with him who had come over from Memphis to witness the execution." They were out side, and if they might come in they would agree, in consideration of the privilege, to render any assistance in their power to the end that the law might be carried out. " It is needless to say that the chief and the sheriff shook hands on this bargain. The Arkansas official Btipulated, however, that there should be no "mutilation, for he was bound to hang a whole nigger, or none at all. With this understanding iour of Chief U Donuell s friends, together with "an Arkansas gentle man named M. L. Windsor, . "took off their coats, rolled up their sleeves, laid their pistols and other jewelry aside and went in. They shut the door behind them. Per haps we may as well leave it shut. It is enough to know that after a short suspense and the noise ot "grinding of teeth, oursmg, and loud shouting," the negroes were dragged forth Becurely bound and happily "unmutuated, and amid the shrieks ot the spectators were strangled "decently and in order. Now perhaps the advocates of capital pun ishment will tell us what they think of this exhibition of American civilization. Is it vin dicating the majesty of the law, is it teaching a great moral lesson, is it inculcating the sacredness of human life to set a mob hunt ing two poor wretches out of a cell, as beasts are hunted from their holes, and to fill a thou sand men with a maddemag thirst for blood. the most brutalizing and ferocious of all forms of passion? .Look at tbe picture, friends of the gallows! ihinK of that horrible hour in the Marion jail, think of death in the midst of raging blasphemies, and tell us what defense there ean be of a punishment which repro duces in peaceful America the devilish spec tacles of the Parisian Commune. REACTION IN FRANCE. From the Fall Hall Gazcttt. Some time before the happening of the terrible events which have spread desolation through Paris, observant travellers who had unusual opportunities of acquainting them seives wiiu n rencu opinion caa announced that there were signs in Franoe of an extreme t 'ii -n 1 T - reaction of . French sentiment, a reaction in the first instance religious, but tending after a brief interval to become political. These symptoms, it was alleged, were not at all confined to the classes who are usually at tached by timidity, ignorance, or interest to the form of conservatism which is nearest at hand. They might be noticed among those professions which are ordinarily the strong holds of French Liberalism, the doctors and the lawyers, and (what no doubt is remarka ble) they were plain among the officers and soldiers returning irom the captivity which began at Metz or Sedan. Assuming that the observers of whom we have SDoken were not wholly mistaken, it is all but certain that these tendencies, wherever they had taken root, must have gained strength during the last two months. J. he feeling of national humiliation and the sense of national weak ness which were helping to make Frenchmen call themselves fervent Catholics, and whioh seemed likely to turn them for awhile into Legitimists, must have been deepened, and the forms of opinion whioh would have re sisted the change of sentiment have been correspondingly weakened. Misfortune and mismanagement have impaired the credit of the moderate party whioh onoe controlled the National Assembly, and it is hardly too much to say that large numbers of Frenchmen are beginning to' agree with the Pope that the ioria of .Liberalism wmcu found expression in tne Commune is reauy the Antichrist. The first objection which would be made to the statement that a religions reaction is imminent in France is very natural, and very easily divined. A religious reaotion, it may be said, means the aaoption of a new belief, but a belief cannot be adopted at pleasure, and at present the vast majority of educated Frenchmen have no religious belief at all. It might be thought a cynical reply that a capa city more or less possessed by all nations is pre-eminently possessed by Frenohmen the capacity of playing, as children have it, at "pretending." They are capable, so to speak, of sitting in a circle, and asking one another to come and beiiyve nu Bumeimng or outer. But this is not by any means the prinoieal way in which a religious reaction sets in, Everybody who examines his own moral or politioal or religious creed will probably find that a considerable number of its articles consist not i doctrines held by himself, but in opinions that it would be extremely advan tageous to somebody, or to every body, or to a certain number of Eeople, if he , or - ' they implicitly elieved this or that. To take the example which oan be indicated with least offense, it is likely that a great many Liberals have no very strong belief in Mr. Gladstone, and a f;reat many Conservatives a still slighter belief n Mr. Disraeli; but it is not the less a strongly held artiole of the Liberal and Conservative faith that one or other of these leaders is a good, wise, consistent, and skilful statesman. If the reaction makes way in Franoe, what Frenchmen will alter will not be their own belief but their opinions as to what it is use ful for the rest of France to believe. Aud it will be much easier to give effect to these opinions in France than it would be in Eng land; for, though we are on the point of abo lishing formal tests, our religious system is in reality one of informal testa. An English man could not throw in his lot with any fer vent and extreme religious party without learning to talk a new language aud without considerably deranging his habits. But no such sacrifice is required from a Frenchman not hitherto devout. All he has to do is to forbear from npeaking disrespectfully of the Pope or the priests, and to abstain from ac tively opposing tbe unremitting efforts of the clergy to obtain the control of education and the guidance of the feminine conscience. It may indeed be said that this was exactly the character of the reaction whioh undoubtedly set in among the classes which were appalled bv the first French Revolution, but of which, notwith standing, no trace at all, or only the very slightest, remains. Doubtless, it is true that the political and religious reaction of those days very nearly spent itself, but the causes wcicn weakened it are very easily observed and understood. It had to contend against an opposing current of feeling which grew yearly stronger, that compound of intense pride m the past and of vague hopes for the future which took shape in Bonapartisin. At the same time it would be a mistake to sup, pose that the reaction against the first Revo lution produced no durable effects of anv sort. It did not permanently win over Frenchmen to the Pope or the elder Bour bons, but to this hour it colors all French Bpeculation. Nearly all French thinkers ex changed the route which they had been fol lowing before 189 for the high priori road;' the reign of terror frightened them into a series of convulsive efforts to place all moral principles beyond the reach of question, and these eaorts continue. A reaction towards Legitimism may appear to some even mose incredible than a reaction to fervent Catholicism. The gentleman known as the Count de Chambord is hardly a Frenchman. He is supposed to be the crea ture of priests and courtiers, and is believed still to adhere to opinions which even the Austrian Emperor, under whose protection he lives, has formally and to all appearance sincerely abandoned. Those, however, who conceive these objections to be fatal to his restoration, scarcely understand the reason ing by which so many Frenchmen try te per suade themselves that it would be desirable. Their argument is as follows.' They Bay that, with two notable exceptions, all the govern ments which have ruled or claim to rule in France found their pretensions exclusively on their practical usefulness. The Empire, the Orleanist Monarchy, the Moderate Republic, alike appeal to no principle but this. One pre tended to confer on France internal security combined with national influence and splendor; another claimed to give the same security coupled with peace and national freedom; a third offered to increase ths measure of liberty, and to disjoin it from artifice or cor ruption. All French Governments, however, the argument proceeds, are in a condition of unstable equilibrium, and, even granting to those which have been indicated that they have conferred or can confer the praotical benefits f or which they ask credit, that is not enough for France. During their possession of power the country becomes accustomed to the particular advantage attributable to them, and grows ungrateful for it, their supporters fall away from them, their weakness increases, a crisis comes, and down they go. What, therefore, is wanted (it is urged) is some Government which can appeal to some thing more than mere usefulness, and which, in the hour of trial and danger, will rally adherents to itself indepen dently of its merits. , There are, how ever, but two of the sort in France. One is the Red Republic, newly collapsed in blood and flame. Beyond all - doubt it is founded on a theory of Divine right, but it does not happen to be exactly the form of authority wnicn the reasoners of whom we nave been speaking desire. The other is the throne of the elder Bourbons. There are assuredly a certain number of .Frenchmen who would fight for the legitimate branch, independently ot any calculation of advantages derived from it. The argument is that it is urgently desi rable to enlist this unreasoning affection and devotion on the side of actual sovereignty. The objection that the Count do Chambord could not be depended upon to leave to Frenchmen that intellectual and politi oal liberty which they cannot in the long , run dispense with, whatever they may think for the moment, is met with the asser tion that, as a matter of fact, they could bind him to terms sufficient for the day. The pro bable Bobriety and even superstition of his court would, they add, be for a while in har mony with the dominant temper of the Frenoh nation. And then the Count de Chambord has "the grace of childlessness." The future. amid the calamities of the moment, is to be left to take care of itself, in hope that just when the new authority becomes unsuited to the times, it will undergo a natural transfor mation whioh will bring it into harmony with them. It is our business in this artiole to set for ththese opinions and these hopes, with out expressing any opinion as to their va lidity.
