EVENING BULLETIN.
FRIDAY, DE ■? E MBER 28. 1866.
A MATTER OF NO CONSEQUENCE.
_ There seems to be considerable contra
diction in the statements of several
parties,each of whom professes to “speak
by the card,” concerning the present
views and feelings of President Johnson
regarding the Constitutional amend
ment. The Cincinnati Commercial gives
what purports to be a conversation
between the President and Mr. Eggles
ton, one of the representatives rom
Ohio. According to Mr. Eggleston—for
it is a fair presumption that he furnished
the material for the despatch—President
Johnson accepts the Amendment as an
accomplished fact. He disclaims active
opposition to the measure, refers to it as
about to become part of the Constitution,
and only fears that the admission of the
South will not follow ratification. “It
is useless now,” he is said to have said,
“to discuss the propriety or impropriety
of the conditions embraced” in the
Amendment. “It had been agreed upon,
and all he could now ask was the gua
rantee that reconstruction upon that
basis should be faithfully kept by the
party that had offered it.”
As an offset to this, is the despatch
telegraphed from Washington to the
New York Times, to the effect that on
Monday of this week the President, in
conversation with a friend, “expressed
his unabated confidence in the final
triumph of his restoration policy.”
Then again, we have a third state
ment, which bears upon its face seeming
evidences of authenticity gnd truthful
ness. It comes in the shape of a de
spatch from Charleston, S. C., received
so lately as Wednesday last, and setting
forth that Colonel Weatherly, a member
of the South Carolina Senate, had just
returned from an informal but confiden
tial mission to Washington, whither he
went apparently, to “see how the land
lay,” on the restoration question. The
President, Colonel Weatherly reports,
“gave it as his deliberate opinion that
the Southern States, through their Le
gislatures, should reject the proposed
Amendment.” “Such action on their
part, he believes”—the same despatch
. asserts—“would be sustained by the Su
preme Court of the United States —at
least he had reason to hope that it
would.”
So here we have three distinct stands,
-which Mr. Johnson is reported to have
taken within about as many days, upon
this important subject of the Amend
ment. First, that it was a fixed fact,
and was to be accepted as such; second,
that he had an unabated confidence in
the final triumph of his own restoration
policy, ana third, a patting of South
Caroliha on the back, and an encourage
ment to that troublesome State to resist
to the death.
At a glance, these diverse statements
might be believed to be the result of the
blundering or guessing of careless, or
over-zealous newspaper correspondents;
bnt the world knows enough of Andrew
|v Johnson by this time to believe him
. .capable of this seeming attempt to be all
things to all men. A President so full '
of insane, self-conceit; so treacherous to
friends and principles; so careless as to ,
truthfulness and consistency, and so .
blind to the temper and spirit of the ;
times, is precisely the man to flounder
; about in the mazes of just such incon
sistencies. In fact,, there is not a speech
that, he made upon his melancholy
western tour, that did not con.
tain assertions and sentiments qiiite
as irreconcilable with truth, logic,
or common sense. This James the
Second of Presidents learns nothing
-Jrom experience and profits nothing
from the bitter lessons he is constantly
receiving;- he embraces a principal to
day to desert it to-morrow, and pre
tends to a new devotion to it the next
day, and relinquishes his high pretences
under pressure, only to re-assert them
upon the slightest encouragement. Like
the last of the English Stuarts, whom
he so closely resembles in character and
principle—or rather in want of both—he
is only consistent in one thing—treach
ery. Fortunately we will not have to
invite a William and Mary from abroad
to rid us of this presidential afflic
tion, for we have only to bear with it a
couple of years longer when Andrew
Johnson will sink into a condition of
obscurity and contempt more profound
than that which was the fate of James
Stuart, John Tyler, Franklin Pierce, or
James Buchanan. Strange that he
should be so blind to what is so plain to
everybody else!
But after all, it is not very important
what Mr. Johnson says to Ohio, what
he hints to Indiana, or what he promises
to South Carolina. Nobody expects any
good of him, and he is almost entirely
powerless for mischief with an over
whelming majority in Congress to re
strain him, and with the mighty loyal
masses of the country to stand by and
sustain Congress. In such a condition
of things it would seem sensible to adopt
the Tootsish philosophy, and say that
no matter what Mr. Johnson says or
does, ‘‘it is of no consequence.”
INDIAN MASSACRE,
The telegraph brings the intelligence
of another horrible Indian massacre, on
the western Plains, near Fort Phil.
Kearney. Brevet Colonel Fetterman,
Captain Brown and Lieutenant Gru
mond, of the 18th infantry, with ninety
enlisted men of the 2d cavalry and 18th
infantry, are reported as having been
surrounded by Indians and all mas
sacred. No details of this shocking
tragedy are given, and, from the fact
that a similar story, a few months ago,
turned out afterwards to be untrae,there
is a ray of hope that there may be some
erfof or exaggeration in this terrible re
port. But if it is true, the future treat
ment of these savage tribes becomes a
problem, from the solution of which
every civilized mind and heart turns
with abhorrence and dismay.
The great pathways, nowbeingopened
up to the Pacific, are already teeming
with emigration, and ere long, a great
tide of traffic and travel will ebb and
flow across these hitherto trackless
Plains, and, at all cost, these avenues of
trade must be made safe and secure for
all who are to pass over them. The un
tamed, and apparently untameable
tribes that roam at will, over this whole
vast region, render life at the Far West
almost as perilous to-day as it was when
the first pioneers forced their way
through the untrodden forests, or hunted
across the virgin soil of the rolling
prairies. This peril must give way to
security, and the right of the
American citizen to journey, un
harmed and unthreatened, over every
inch of American soil must be asserted,
not only in the rebellious territory of
the South, but across the wide domain
which is, as yet, under the control of
wild Indian tribes.
How this security is to be achieved is
another question. We shrink, with in
stinctive horror, from the precedents
which France has given us in Algeria
and England in India, and yet the great
law of national and personal self-preser
vation is involved in the solution of the
problem. It is in vain now to go back
and mourn over the sins op our fore
fathers, whose injustice to the aborigines
is now bearing its bitter fruits in these
scenes of cruelty..and blood upon
the Plains of the West. The
question is a present, practical
one and must be so dealt with. Ethno
logists deny that the North American
Indian is capable of civilization, and all
experience seems to confirm the scien
tific theory. If this theory is not a
sound one, then the remedy obviously
is to merge these wild tribes in civilized
communities and so break down their
predatory and nomadic habits, by edu
cation and association with the white
man. To banish them from these hu
manizing influences, if they are capable
of deriving benefit from them, and to
locate them upon the Western territory,
is wilfully to perpetuate a state of
things, alike unjust to the Indian and
dangerous to the white man.
Some of these wild tribes are peaceful
and pastoral in their nature and habits,
and from these there is, of course, noth
ing to fear. But there are others, and
apparently the greater number, who are
hopelessly fierce and warlike, subsisting
entirely upon hunting and pillage,
treacherous and cruel to the last ex
treme, regardless of treaties and alike
unsusceptible to threats; or promises.
And in regard to these, the stern ques
tion confronts our Government, What
shall be done with them? No matter
who has been to blame in the past, the
Government must deal with the present.
The lives and property of its citizens
must be protected, even if the last horrid
resort to a war of extermination be the
sad remedy for the evil.

188 MARINE CORPS.
The Marine Corps of the United S bates
now comprises three thousand men, in
a state of the highest efficiency, in all
respects equal to the much vaunted
Marine service of the British Govern
ment, and forming amoßt important and
reliable arm of our national defences.
.The whole of this force, which fromthe
nature of its peculiar duties is scattered
all over the world,is under the command
of Col. Jacob Zeilin, an officer of long
service and high standing in his
profsssion. The extent of this command,
and the wide ramification of its
complicated duties . demand Jthat it
should be placed on a higher grade as
regard the rank of its officers.__ Au
independent and important. arm of the
service like the present Marine Corps
should be so organized; as to be under
: the command of a Brigadier General,
thus placing it upon the same footing
with commands of similar dimensions
and importance in the. army. The in
crease of cost to the Government, and
the necessary changes in the organiza
tion,would he very trifling, and Congress
would only be paying a well-earned
compliment to an admirably-managed
branch of the public service, and placing
I it upon a footing of dignity to which its
I members and the extent of its services
I justly entitle it, by conferring upon-it
1 the additional grade of a Brigadier
I General.
