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

THE CIVILIZATION OF THE HALTER.
Wrrm thi H. T. tribune.
We are not sure that anything we may say

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

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

are hunted from their holes, and to fill a thou
sand men with a maddemag thirst for blood.

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.
