'‘ , •tens . ringsmis AND TUE INDIANS
Theepeoposition made by certain
phians' that to the Society of Friends
shall be committed the transaction of the
government business with the Indians, will
be likely to receive the approval of many of
the intelligent and honest men of the country.
Since •Congress has determined that the Indian
affairs shall not be transferred to the War
Departmebt, the only hope of reform in their
administration lies in the removal of the'
corrupt - rings in She department, and the ap
pointment of officers of irreproachable integ
rity. !Those who are familiar with the
• Quaker, character, and with the honorable
reputation of Friends as a class, will be per
featly willing to accept as the 'agents of the
&Imminent any persons who might be se
leCted-by the Society for the purpose. The
Frieirde, -too, have a traditional fitness for
this work; and this perhaps inspired them to
move in -the matter. They are the descen
dents of the only men, among all the original
settlere of this country, who treated the In
dians honorably, and succeeded in living
peaceably with them. Whether the present
generation of savages retains any historical
aceount of the highly proper manner in which
Willard Penn disbursed hatchets, Barlow
knives and tenpenny nails for title deeds to
land, we do not know. There has been
so much rascality ever since, on the
part of white men, that this one
bit of fair 'play may be forgotten. But
the principle is just as good as it ever was;
and its practical application will be sure, in
time, to produce-precisely the same excellent
results. All the troubles with the savages
have sprung directly and indirectly from the
..knavery of-white-men, and 'the very wick-
edest frauds have been those perpetrated by
the agents of the government. We believe
that it will only be necessary to convince the
Indians that we desire to treat them fairly,
and then to fulfil our contracts and promises
exactly and literally, to put an end to the
strife upon the plains and solve the first diffi
culty in the way of civilizing and "Christian
izing" the nomadic tribes which are now only
a dangerous nuisance. We have sufficient
faith in the virtue of the Friends as a class
to believe that they will represent the honest
sentiment of the country in dealing with the
Indians, and will make fraud an impossi
biley If they are permitted to ,control the
distribution of supplies.
A very serious obstacle to - the consum
mation of the project has presented
itself already in the repugnance of Friends to
.coiiperation with the army in this matter. It
is quite impossible to per,teive how the men
-of peace are to obtain even a foothold among
the savages unless they have the support and
,protection of the men of war. After their
past experiences with treacherous white men,
the Indians will very naturally be suspicious
of all new corners and in their present
ex
cited condition a military force will be abso
lutely necessary to preserve order, even
among those who profess to have yielded to
the verdict of the war. The Indians who
are still belligerent, will be entirely unap
proachable by the meekest and most suave
Friend, unless he has troops at his back. Be
e-idea, there are good and bad, and vicious
and virtuous individuals among the Indians
as among white men, and some of these wil l
be BO callous to the operations of the law o'
love as to repel any advances from concilia
tory Friends. There is reason, too, to believe
that at me savages are so depraved as to have
no reverence tor a broad brimmed hat—men
who would profanely remove such covering
and scalp the wearer in the moat painful
manner and with fiendish glee, if it could be
done with impunity.
Plainly, then, the Friends must yield to
- _the force of circumstances and sacrifice their
eacroples for once, if they wish to carry into
-.effect their humane and honorable design.
iliewever horrible and repulsive war may be,
%here are occasions, even when our intentions
Are moat kind, when we must use violence to
rape! violence. This seems to be one of
therm. A band of naked savages, bent upon
desfucction and massacre, cannot be met
with blandishments and sweet phrases only.
whey azust be placed In a peaceable attitude
b et roxe they will be table to hear what the
preouleer,bas to say. They -must be subjected
pbysicaliforce before rive moral power eau
be breeght, to lam upon them. This is just
swa t th e timaition on the plaius, and we
be li eve ,u, is understood by the eentlemen who
b ays peee . ,procanent in the eriondi maim
nvott. WP PAW lie filed if they coo so emu-
pound the rea'Aeiwith their consciences as to
undertake ale work, while the army remains
in force among the Indians and holds them in
tempora7y eutdection. The sect will be anti=
tied to the sincere gratitude of the American
*Ple; 9fit.foratehes a solution to the Indian
quVltioit, and 06 , 900,, the righteousness , and
truth el its policy of peace.
Tire vountry Will laugh 'at Andrew . John-
Oreeniille speech. It is the raving ut
terance of a man 'who is conscious of guilty
failtde to %do his dutY, but who strives by In
decent-and 'reckless abuse of his opppents
to llistify himself to his opponents. As a c orn
position it is deserving of ridicule and con
tempt. There is the same old formula of the
endangered Constitution, - Ili° corrupt - COW-
gress, the betrayed people, the approach of
anarchy. There is a reiteration of the spot
leseness of his own virtue, and a repetition of
that familiar autobiographical sketch in which
his ascent from the shop to the executive
chair Is proudly dephited; and there is another
reference to his similarity to Cato, for whom
by the way, he has recently forsaken the
'rule of Moses. The tspeech,too,in so maudlin
and incoherent, as to suggest that Mr. John
son inaugurated hisentry to private life with
the same flow of spirits with which ho en
tered upon his duties as Vice President four
years ago. We could afford to let him pass
away from public view now with mingled
pity and scorn, if it were not that we are sure
that we have not seen the last of him in po
itical life. It is his appointed task to torment
us to the end of his existence, and we may be
well assured that he will make desperate,and
likely successful exertions to creep into place
again. Oblivion would be death to such an
eotist.
The United States Senate, the people of
the United States and the President received
a very severe lecture yesterday from Senator
Sprague, of 'Rhode Island. In the course of
it he made a number of complacent allusions
to himself, and the reporter says that he
finished his speech 'with an interesting bio
graphical sketch of himself. He also enter
tained the Senate with a chapter from Macau
lay's history of England, describing the con
dition of that country in the time of Judge
Jeffreys. He declared that the condition of
this country now was shriller, or even worse!
Himself a very rich man, be scolded at the
rich, and then scolded at the poor for
imitating the rich. Praising President
Grant for some thinga,he was "sorrowful and
disheartened". at his declaration concerning
the sacredness of the public debt. This
showed him that "the canker that possessed
the American body politic had got possession
of the President himself!" He hoped he
would see his error and turn away from such
a policy as from a charnel-house ! As re
ported, the speech seems to have been ram
bling and utterly illogical. It would be a
fair subject for ridicule; but one cannot help
thinning that Mr. Sprague was not altogether
in his right mind when he made it.

TIIITUDAT, March 26. 1869.—The future of the money
market continues to absorb the attention of capitalists
and merchants alike, and much apprehension exists
among the latter of a tharp pinch for money during the
next two wake. The Government examiner has already
made his appearance in New 71 ork.and some of the banks
are calling in their reserved loans preparatory to a et ge
ment of accounts. Our local banks anticipate a similar
visit shortly, and no little uneasiness is felt in the ranks
of the borrowen in ectisequence. Meanwhile the ina
bility of the banks to extend their usual accommoda
tions necessarily adds to the activity of the outside mar
ket and gives firmness to the rates of discounts. It
would be onite ac , ordinate with precedentif the Wall
street cliques should take adv.ntage of the occasion to
add to the natural Ade genes , by locking up greenbacks
or gold. at present, however, no movement of the kind
is fat in our local market, but prudent men are anticipa
ting it by time contracts to cover the period in question.

12 noon 7 per cent gold was the meal rate. and the de

n sturatane is caused by the demands of legitimate trade
and impoverished condition of our backs compared with
last year. As business in the Southern States basin
creased, and that section bas become more free from LA
debtednees to the North, mom currency has gone South
and remained permanently there.
1 he banks reckon specie and greenbacks as their legal
reserve on which the y bank or make loans. The drain
fur currency arid gold on the banks has taken place, but
they have tailed to contract their loans in aocoraance
therewith. On January 80. the legal reserve of the bank,
was reported by them as $82400000. and in their last
statement!! bad fallen to 116511R,e00. showing a toss of
bout their teens have been decreased
only .2,0A1.0 0. The pressure for accommodation from tie
business community and stock speculators, and the
natural desire on the part of those institutions to keep
lending as tong as they have the ability to do so, have
doubtless prevented the banks from contracting their
loans in the face of this heavy decline in their legal re

also one from Judge Allison and other citizens
for an extention of the House of Refuge; also one
from the Board of Trade to compel certain trains
of the Camden and Amboy R. R. Co. to stop at

Mr. Randall. one from onethousand citizens of

A memorial was presented from the Society of
Friends, in opposition to their being compelled
to pay the Mi litia
Mr. Billingfelt, from the Retrenchment and Re
form Committee, made a lengthy report to the
following purport: That $34,077 45 were paid
the lost session for the officers in the Senate and
$83,705 80 for officers in the House. These
amounts were largely In excess of what
was actually necessary, having been Incurred
in part without the proper authority of
law. A practice had been indulged and
increased within the last few years of pay
ing employes on the warrant of the proper offi
cers, at the end of the session, who had not been
formally elected at the opening of the session;
and so loose a practice in the payment of legisla
tive employes could not be too much depreca
ted. The Committee say the act of 1868 will
remedy the evil and reduce the expenses of the
present session 067,283 25, and it earnestly dis
countenancee any attempt to disregard its pro-
ViSiOne. The necessity of fixing permanently by
law the eateries of the different heads of depart
ments making them more uniform, and not to be
regulated merely by the general appropriation
bill. is urged, and a bill Is reported clamillying
the departmental clerks as follows:
Chief clerks at salaries of $1,500, each; first
class clerks at $1,400; second class clerks at
$1,200, and third class clerks at sl,ooo—a change
that will reduce the expenses of the administra
tion $20,080 annually, and secure equal effi
ciency. The compensation of the members
of the legislature should be permanently regu
lated by law; $l,OOO is recommended as the per
manent salary, and no allowance for stationery
or mileage to be made. In view of this perma
nent regulation of the salaries, it has been deemed
wise to cut off the allowance of $25
to each member for stationery, and
also the allowance for mileage, because
of the recognized fact that the members of the
Legislature are given tree transportation over
the different railroads of the Commonwealth.
These items aggregate as follows : Stationery,
$3,325; mileage, $7.531 20. So as to provide
more carefully for the supply of stationery for
the different departments of the Legislature, &e.,
the act submitted provides that an estimate shall
be made annually by the heads of departments
of the amount and quality of the stationery re
quired, and by the Superintendent of Public
Printing, Auditor-General and Secretary
of State of the amount required for
the use of the Legislature and
public printing, all of which estimates are to
be transmitted to the Auditor-General's Depart
ment. Sealed proposals for the stationery shall be
advertise d for and opened at a specified time be
fore the State Treasurer, Auditor-General and
Superintendent of Public . Printing, who shall giro
the contract to the lowed bidder. Provision is
Alm made for the delivery of the stationery to the
Departments, an account for the distribution of
which shall be annually ,ettled by the Auditor-
Gt rieral. This plan,t. nelleved,will largely de
crease the present expenetiturea and secure a bet
ter article.
The Governor, Auditor-General and State Trea
surer aro created a Board of Commissioners of
Public Grounds and Buildings, and are to be re
sponsible for and have control of all expendi
tures for the care, improvement and repair of the
buildings and grounds. They are to invite pro
posals for the supply of fuel for the Departments
and the Legislature, and to award the contract to
the lowest bidder.

Mr. Nice, of Schuylkill, reported, with a nega
tive recommendation, the burlesque Broad Street
Railroad bill, with newspaper proprietors as con
porators. This, of course, kills the absurpthill.
Mr. Rogers reported from the Judiciary Com
mittee an act to prevent the adulteration of
drugs. The bill applies only to Philadelphia,
and as amended declares adulteration to be a
misdemeanor, and prohibits the employment of
any but graduates of pharmacy in retail drug
st ores. s ermita an • citizen to make complaint
before ' any alcififfnan for violation;
provides for a search-warrant to be
issued on the affidavit of a physician to die,
cover adulterated drugs, etc, andfor the destruc
tion of such drags. This bill was only saved by
limiting its provisions to Philadelphia. Mr. Ro
gers also reported the Sonete bill authorizing the
Supreme Court to appoint five commissioners
for Philadelphia.
The House considered a supplement to the
Exemption laws. It luereases the property ex
empted by law from $BOO to $5OO, positively
prohibits any waver, and makes, the privileges
apply only to married men.

Gov. Seward wrote the following letter in reply
to an invitation to attend the Baltimore banquet
in honor of Andrew Johnson :
"Ausuart, March 10, 1869.-114 Dear Sir: Your
kind note, which invites me to a banquet to be
given by the authorities of Baltimore to the late
President, Andrew Johnson, bas reached me at
an hour too late to allow of my acceptance of the
courtesy if it were otherwise in
my power. I cordially thank the
authorities for so kindly remembering my as

during the period in which emancipation was
Dined, while the integrity of the Union was
saved, and the Constitution was not lost. Very
respectfully, your obliged and obedient servant,

AMERICAN SCIENCE AB BOND.
Milburn, the Blind Orator—an Opera—
tion to be Performed for the liestora,
lion of Ills eight.
[From the London European Newel
The Bev. Mr. Milburn has just returned to
Paris front Belgium, where he has been for
three months 'past in care of the great oculist,
Professor Von Grade. On the 9th of December,
the Professor performed the first operation upon
Mr. Milburn's right eye, cutting a hole, inserting
a hook, and drawing the iris from the old pupil
with which to line the new one, and then trim
mine the edges dexteriously with scissors.
This three-fold process occupied nearly
five minutes. The eye did remarkably
well for about 12 days, but from some unex
plained cause, interior inflammation then began,
which soon threatened disorganization and the
entire lose of the eye. A few days thereafter,
Mr. Milburn was suddenly seized by a violent at
tack of what the physicians pronounced to be in
flammation of the light lung,which soon placed
hint in a critical condition. While this disease
was at its height,hovrever,strange to say. the eye
began to improve, and its Inflammation soon
abated. After Mr. Milburn's recovery, Graefta
examined the eye carefully a number of times,
which verified Lis previous diagnosis, and
that of Dr. William Frederick Holcombe,
of New York—who, by the way, was
the first person to hold out to Mr. Milburn
the prospect of a partial restoration of his sight
bt the same operation. In consequence of the
nearly closed state of the pupil, and of the °pe
tit s of the cornea, it had been impossible hitherto
to tee the interior of "the eye, but the new pupil
disclosed the fact that the crystalline lens to
opaque. To. remove this it will be necessary to
run the Mite along the whole lower or upper
margin of the eye, and to remove the lens by
pressure or the use of hooks. It was expected
that this could be done in three or four weeks
after the first operation, bat Grade now gives it
as his opinion that in consequence of the inflam
mation it will not be safe to operate again under
some months. Although Mr. Milburn's power
of vision has hardly been improved, he
has now the'definite prospect, should the second
operation be succeesful t of at least the recovery
of partial sight. As that operation is one of
Graefe's own invention. and one which he per
forms with a surer hand any other person,
it is of course the wish of Mr. Milbnra and
,his
friends that he timid perform It Mr. 'Milburn
will therefore prObably remain in Baropn until
this can done. We understand' that Mr. Mit

WAtitinoTott, March 25.—The Minting Corn

be saved annually by proper management.
The committee say that that department Is pay
ing annually for the rent of buildings alone, in
various parts of the country, sums of money
which would in four years' time pay Or the
buildings s'll ti cupled. In fact, an investigation
shows that mo ey has been used in a very ex

termined to cut down the expenses of this branch
of the War Department. It is probable they
will at the same time report a bill cutting down the
number of officers in the Quartermaster's Depart

The same committee have also wider considera

the opinion is entertained that the Government
should reduce this llst to a large extent.

the San Diego brunch of the Southern Pacific
Railroad. Referred to Committee on Pacific
Rail road.
Mr. Edmunds moved to take up the bill to en
force the Fourteenth Constitutional Amendment
and the laws of the United States in Georgia.
Mr. Sherman objected because he wanted the
[mate to take up the bill supplementary to the
act of 1864, to provide a national currency se
cured by a pledge of U, S. bonds.
Mr. Edmunds said , be had moved to take up'
the bill relating to Georgia because be wanted
Ike Senate to decide definitely whether anything
was to be done at this session to settle the status
of that State. He thought Congress was either

from representation, or else was tolerating there
a revolutionary condition of affairs, which ought
to be brought to an end.

prompt action should be taken on the
Georgia bill than on the Financial bill
moved by Mr. Sherman. because its passage
was necessary for the preservation
of peace in that State, and also aeon example of
reconstruction.
