LOCAL LEGISLATION An unusual number of propositions, especially relating to the affairs of onr county anditummicipalities, may be ob served in the .reports of proceedings of the present Legislatures. The public in terest In-thole prop:Sidon' would mig• gest that rut equal degree of care should be Incumbent upen - our delegation at Harrisburg, to acquaint the people of Alleft'eny Minty, promptly and freely, with all the pardEulars of these move ments. We are compelled, however, to declare - that more difficulty Is encounter ed than at any previous session within our remembrance, in securing this in foniagon seasonablj and with precision. Whether this difficulty now be really due to the omission by the Legislature to provide for any detailed record of its full daily transactions, or to deficiencies in the suansernents established by our members for the regular and prompt information of their constituents, we need not stpres , sent, undertake to decide. The fact is it self patent, that .very few of ns are thor oughly and correctly advised of the pre cise character of the proposed measures, of which we glean some vague idea from the brig„,ptuaseology of, their titles, as spedfled in our meagre reports, but are left wholly In the dark u to their exact tenor.' - This complaint does not come from the prime alone. We hear It from our local officials; both county_ and municipal, who are kept constantly on the ftti via by the" almost daily reports of new measures in troduced, far the details of which they are compelled to haunt the newspaper offices,. , or, more frequently, to make special application to our delegation far the test of the bills. Nor does enquiry always satisfy our ^:~ '~~~. • , people, or tee oft/ctals, that theta prop°. &lions are in fact for the public interest. _Here, for example, we note one bill " to authorizithe District Attorney to employ $ special detective." another providing '"for the better prosecution of disorderly pereins" he this county.

" Med Nor private Jcidgmens, and Uwe; 11 ■ fore of the peaceful enjoyment of rational freedom 1 Is there something inherently defective In their lute-fleeted and moral constitution, so that they are unable to rise above the plane of spiritual thraldom and of the status of clansmen ? Ttlook, back:npon their history for several of the 1 past centuries in Europe, and then -at their abortive efforts at f government on this hemisphere, we ght suppose that such was the' fact. et - the mere effort. to emancipate th yes from bondage proves that th is in them a yearning after freedom which could only arise from nstureircapable of tomething better than they have yet known. We think this apparent incapacity may be traced to the education to which they have for centuries been inbiected, rather than to any natural deficiency--aneduca• tion not given bisahool rooms, but in the churches and it their Ciresides—an educe- Son which bee arrayed conscience against a free exercise of the mental powers, and calmed them to dread- Investigation as sinful, rebeillouci and cnmlnal—an educa tion which repressed and crushed out that nobility which searches the Scrip. tunas, searches Nature, and dies down into the inward consciousness, to see whether the •things taught as truths are malty so--an education which constrained Galileo to deny and renounce what he know to be true. • A people so educated, when they do break their political shackles go mad; for, renouncing all they ever accepted as true, they rush Into the Lark, and plunge into all manner of excesses. Rochefort 'and his followers, who are now disturbing the peace of Paris, are men of this type. But in Mexico the darkness is still greater than in &trope. The people have sunk down into mental imbecility, and may be compared toe set of quarreling topers, who are all too farovercome to hurt each other much. What is to be done with them ? Why nothing so far as the gov ernment is concerned. To conquer and annex them would be sheer Madness; while to hold them under military Jule would not cure them of their chronic turbulence. Lot them Indulge in their Intestine quarrels so far as any forcible intervention is concerned. But here is work • for philanthropic Christianity. Those people need education. They must be taught to think; and taught that it Is their 'fight and their duty to think. The Bible, must be given to them; for sn it alone ate-found the principles of lib erty and law combined. There is not a nation on the globe in which that book ls in.the imams and hands of the people which is not is the enjoyment of rational, constitutional freedom; and there is not a free people on earth from whose houses and hearths it is absent. The living preacher of the Gospel, the scientific lec turer, the schoolmaster, and the lbUok ped dler with his miscellaneous stock, are needed. Bach men, and such only, can do the work that is needed in -Mexico. Ail the soldiers in the world could not give freedom to the people of that country; but the gentle influences of which we hive been speaking can give them liberty, prosperity and peace. It is time to give up the barbaric notion thit armies and navies are the greatest farces lithe world. They are good in their places, but they can do nothing for Mexico. THE INDIANS-HIGHLY IN TES Einric REPORT Under an eat of Congress - of April 10, 1869, the 'President appointed &Commis sion of citizens to ce:operate :with the _administration in the management of In. than-affairs. The following gentlemen composed the commission: Wm. Welih, of Philadelphia; John V. Farwell, Chi cago; Geo. H. Stuart, Philadelphia; Rob ert Campbell, St. Louie; W. E. Dodge, New York; E. S. Tobcy, Boston; Felix R. Brunot; Pittsburgh; Nathan Bishop, New York, and Henry S. Lane, Mama. Subsequently Faux R. BRUNOT. Esq., wu appointed chairman of the Commis. Rion. From the reptirt of the Commis. sion, dated Pittsburgh, November 23, 1869—en advanced proof of which is now before us—We propose to make u copious an extract u our limits will per. CONCLUDIISO PORTION 07 1 . 132 BYROItt. It Is not proposed to make this report either final or in any degree exhaustive. In Its moral and political, as well as economic aspects, the Indian question is one of the gravest importance. The dif ficulties which surround it are of a prac tical nature, as are also the duties of the commission with reference to them. We cannot offer recommendations as the re sult of theorizing, bat moat reach our conclusions throbgh personal observation and knowledge, as well as testimony. The comparatively short period of the existence of the commission, and the pre venting causes already mentioned, com pel the board to pass over, for the present, I some of the important points which have occupied their attention. Should the com mission be continued, it is hoped that visits of Inspection to the reservations will In each casebeproductive of benefice, and the aggregate of the information acquired will enable Unheard to make important sugges tions, for which it is now prepared. Should the commission be discontinued, it is hoped some other permanent super— visory body will be created, which, in its I material, office, and powers, shall be as far as possible beyond suspicion of selfish motives or personal profits In connection with Its duties. WidleAt cannot be denied that the government of the United States, in the general [emus and temper of itslegislation, has evinced a desire to deal generously with the Indians, It must be admitted that the Waal treatment they , have re• calved has been. unjust and iniquitous beyond the power of words to express. Taught by the government that they had rigMe entitled to respect; when those rights hays been wailed by the rapacity of the white mart, the arm which should have been raised to protectthcm has been ever ready to instant the aggressor. The history of thegovernment connec tions with the Indians is a ehamefal record of broken treaties. and unfulfilled promises. The history of the border white man's connection with the - Indians is a, sicken ing record of murder, outrage, robbery, and wrongs committed by the former as the rule, and occasional savage outbreaks and unspeakably barbarous deeds of re• tallation by the latter as the exception. The class of hardy men on the frontier wko represent the highest type of the , energy and enterprise of the American people, endue just and honorable in their sense of moral obligation and their gppre- Minions of the rights of others, have been. powerless to prevent them wrongs, and have been too often the innocent suffer ers from the Ind ia ns' revenge.. That there are many good men on the border is a subject of congratulation, and the files of the Indian Bureau attest that among them are found some of the most earnest rernonstrants against the evils we are compelled so strongly to condemn. The testimony, of some of the highest military officers of the United States is on record to-the effect that, In our Indian wars, almost without exception, the first aggressions have been made by the white man, and the assertion is -supported by every • civilian of reputation who has studied the subject. In addition to- the class of robbers and outlaws who find Impunity is their nefarious pursuits upon the frontiers, there Is a large class of professedly reputable men who rise every means in their power to bring on Indian wars, for the sake of thd profit to be re aged from the presence of troops and the expenditure of government funds in their midst. They proclaimdeath to the Indians at all times, in words and publications, making no distinction between the inno cent and -the guilty. They incite the lowest class of men to the perpetration of the darkest deeds against their victims, and, es judges and jurymen, shield them from the justice due to their critter. Every crime committed by a white man against an Indianig corintalnd or pallia ted; every offense committed by en Indian against it white man la boMeoattie wings of the poem' the'leleigraph to the re- - . Iti9lst calm o the land, clothed with all the horrors which the reality or im agination can throw around it. Against such influences as these the people of the United Stem; teed to be warned. The murders, robberies, dmnken riots, and outrages Perpetrated by Indians in time of peaco—taidng into consideration the rebillive population of the races on the frontier—do not amount to a tithe of the number of like crimes committed by white 1 men in the border settlements and towns. . . Against the inhuman idea that the Indian is oily fitted to be exterminated, and the influence of the men who propagate it, the military arm of the govensment can. not be too strongly guarded. It is ha to be wondered at that inexperienced officers, ambitious for distinction, when surrounded by such influences, have been nutted to attack ludian bands without adequate cause, and involve the nation in an unjust war. It should, at least, be understood that in the future such blun ders should cost the omcer his commis sion, and that suchAtatlnction le infamy. Paradoxical as may seem, the white man bai been the chief obstacle In the way of Indian civilization. - The benevo lent measures attempted by the govern. meat for User advancement have been ahnostuniformly thwarted by the agen• des employed to carry them ont. The soldiers, sent for their protection, too often carried demoralization and disease into their. midst, The agent, appointed to be their friend and counsellor, bushels manager, and the almonen of the govern ment bounties, frequently went among them only to enrich himself in the short. eat possible time, at the cost of the In dians, and spent the largest available sum of the government money with the least ostensible beneficial result. The general interest of the trader was op posed to their enlightenment as tending to lessen his profits. Any increase of intelligence would render them leu liable to his impositions; and, if oc cupied In agricultural pursuits, their pro. duct of furs would be proportionally decreased. The contractor's and trees porter's interests were opposed to it, for the reason that the production of agricul tural products on the spot would meas urably cut off their profits in furnishing army supplies. The interpreter knew that if they were taught, his occupation would be gone. The more submissive and patient the tribe, the Greater the number of outlaws infesting their Vicinity; and ill these were the mission aries teaching them the most _degrading vices of which humanity is capable. If in-spite of these obstacles a tribe made some progress In agriculture, or their lands became valuable from any cause, the process of civilization was summarily ended by driving them away from their homes with fire and sword, to undergo similar experiences in some new locality. Whatever may have beeh the original character of the aborigines, many of theta are now precisely what the course of treatment received from the whites must necessarily !Ave made them—suspicious, revengefal and cruel in their retaliation. In war they know no distinction between the innocent and the guilty. In his most savage vices the worst Indian is but the Imitator of bad white men on the border. To assume- that all of them, or even a majority of them, may be so characterized with any degree of truthfulness, would be no more just than to RIM= the same of all the white people upon the frontier. Same of the tribes, as a whole, are peace ful and indestriona to the extent of tbiir knowledge, needing only protection, and a reasocable amount of aid and Christian instruenon, to insure the rapid attain ment of habits of industry, and a satis factory advance toward civilization. Even among the wildest of the nomadic tribes there are large bands, and many Individuals in other bands, who are anx ious to remain quietly upon their reserva tion, and - are patiently awaiting the fulfill• meat of the government promise that they and their children shall be taught to "live like the white man." To assert that "the Indian will not I work" la as true as it would be to say that the white man will not work. In all countries there are non-working china. The chiefr- and warriors are the . Indian aristocracy. They need only to be given incentives to induce them to work. Why should the Indian be expected to plant corn, fence lands, build houses, or do anything but get food from day to day, when experience has taught him that the product of hislabor will be seized by the white man to-morrow? The most Industrious white man would become a drone under similar circumstances, Nevertheless, many of the Indians are already at work, and furnish ample ref t. teflon of the assertion that "the Indian will not work." There is no escape from the Inexorable logic of facto. The Choctaws, Chickasaws, Cheiokees and Creeks, as farmers, compare favor& bly with the whites. They have each or ganized systems of governmeat similar to our own, with legislative assemblie s, judiciary epartment, and a good system of common schools. The agent, in his report of 1868, said, "The Cherokees are well advanced in civilization and refine ment; they have a number of citizens who would compare favorably with the politicians, statesmen, jurists and divines of some of the States of the Union." ' The Seminoles have also made much progress in agriculture. When original ly removed to the Indian territory, these tribes were among the least promising of all for the experiment of civilization. The progress they have made is in a great degree due to their comparative isolation from the whites, mid that they have been exceptions from the role of frequent re moval. Eight years ago the Sioux of the north• west were engaged in cruel and relent less war against the border settlements; to day there is a band—the Santee Sioux —numbering about one thousand souls, living in log houses, cultivating the soil industriously, wearing civilized garments and attending church on Sunday like any other orderly civilized community. Another band, the Eanctena, 2,500 in number, have settled on their reservation and commenced to labor. A letter of .1. V. Farwell, ono of the commissioners, which is herewith trans- ranted, mysi of the. InOlans in Utah: "ColoneMmd, the Indian agent of that Territory, in which there are some 25,000 Indians, said to me that he had demon strated the fact that the Indians could be mule to work and support themselves in a very few years, with proper manage ment. 'One tribe, numbering 2,500, with the aid of $5,000, had this season raised $3 0 ,. 000 worth of crops; another of 1,500, with $5OO aid, raised $10,000; another of 1,000, with $5OO aid, hail raised $3,000 of crops; another of GOO, with $350 aid, had raised $l,OOO worth of crops; another bad four farms, upon which, with $5OO aid, they had raised $7,000 worth of crops. One tribe has five thousand peach trees planted, and raised by themselves. All the above results have been reached in three years' work by the government." The reports of the Indian Bureau will be found to abound in facts, going to prove that the Indian, is a race, can be Induced to work, Is susceptible of civili zation, and presents a mod inviting field for the Introduction of Christianity. The policy of collecting the Indian tribes upon small reservations contiguous to each other, and within the limits 'of a large reservation, eventually to become a State of the Union, and of 'which the small reservations will probably be the counties, seems to be the beat that can be devised. Many tribes may thus be col lected In the present Indian territory. The largerthe number that , MR. be thus concentrated the better for e success of the plan; care being taken to separate hereditary enemies from each other. When upon the reservation they should be taught ail soon as possible the advantage of individual ownership of property; and should be given land in severalty as soon as it la desired by any of than, and the' tribal relations should be discouraged. I To facilitate the future allotment of the land the agricultural portions of the res ervations should be surveyed as soon as it can be done without too much exciting their apprehensions. The titles should I be inalienable from the fatally of the bolder for at least two or time genera tions. The civilized tribes now in the Indian territory ;should 'be taxed, and made citizens of the United States as soon atpossibl. The treaty system should be abandoned, and as soon as any just method can be devised to accomplish it, existing trestles should be abrogated. 'The legal status of the uncivilized In diens should be that of wards of the gin. ernment,• the duty of the latter being to protect them, to educate McLain industry, the arts of civilization, and the principles of Christianity; elevate them to the rights et citizenship, and to sustain and clothe them until they can support themselves., The payment of money annuities to the Indians-should be abandoned, for the reason that such payments eaeonrage Idleness and vice, to the Injury of those whom It ia intended to benefit. Schools should be established, two .teachers em= PITTSBURGH DAILY GAZETTE: TUESDAY MORNING; FEBRUARY 22, 1870 ployed by the government to introduce the English language in every tribe. It is believed that many of the difficulties with Indians occur from misunderstand. ings as to the meaning and intention elf either party. The teachers employed should bo nominated by some 'religious body having a mission nearest to the 10. cation of the school.. The establishment of Cnristian missions should be encour aged, and their schools fostered. The pupils should at least receive the rations and clothing they would get if remaining with their families. The religion of our blessed Baviour is believed to be the most Affective•agent for the civilization of 01.1' A. _reversal _of. the .policy which has heretofore prevailed, of taking the goods of the peaceable and industrious and giving them to the 'vicious and unruly, should be insisted on. Every 'means in the p_ower,of the government and its agents should be employed to render set tlement and Industrious habits on the ' reservation attractive and certain in its rewards. Experience has already shown that this is the beat mode of inducing the Indians to settle upon their reservations. The foregoing observations will com mend themselves to all right-minded people as , eminently just, wise and hu mane; and we fondly hope that the gov ernment will follow up a lino of policy which will put a stop to the outrages and flagrant wrongs to which the Indians have long been subjected at the hands of government agents, and of lawless bor derers more -ferocious than themselves. To-Morrow we shall give, from the report g of Means. Brunet, Bishop and Dodge, the three Commissioners detailed to visit the Indian agencies and reservations In the South, including all in and south of Kansas, an interesting narrative of the interview and "talk" between ihoee gentlemen and the - assembled tribes of Arapahoes and Cheyennes. The peace which has reigned upon the border since the visit of those gentlemen attests the good results of their labors. The Priebytetlacßoard or Publication I=2t! Z. M. Humphrey, Chairman, and W. E. Schenck, Secretary, of the joint cool. mittee appointed by the two General As semblies at- Pittsburgh to recommend to the Assembly of the United Presbyterian Church what changes are required in the Board of Publication and the Publication Committee, announce the results of a meeting held in Philadelphia on the 9th instant. The essential points agreed upon were as follows: That the Board of Publication and the Committee be united, under the title of the Presbyterian Board of Publication; that it be composed of fortyeight mem bers, one-half to be appointed the first year from each of the late branches, after ward onethird of their number to be elec ted each year for a term of three years; that its executive officers shall be either a Secretary or Secretaries, with tides and duties to be defined by the united Board, and a Treasurer. All other Internal ar rangements of the Board are to be made by the Board alter its reorganization. Each -Presbytery shall appoint a Presbyterian Committee, to correspond with the Board, look after its interest and promote the circulatign of its publications within the bounds of the Presbytery. All property belonging to the two concerns, or bold for their use,. to be united In the hands of the trustees of the Presbyterian Board of Publication, who have a charter from the State of Pennaylirania. Eight new members are to be elected into this Board of Trustees —four from each of the late branches-. The Board is to sell its house, No. 821 Chestnut street, and provide a larger pub lication house for its prospectively ex tended business, either on the premises now occupied by the Publication Com mittee at No. 1,334 Chestnut street, or in that vicinity. .1n order that the Board may be able to provide Ruche house with out absorbing capital now used and need ed for providing and distributing a relig ions literature, our churchesand people are asked to raise one hundred thousand dollars, all contributions thereto to be recognized as a part of the five million fund. All committees and officers of the two concerns are to continuo to perform their present duties until other arrange ments are rude by the newly organized Boned. • TITE New Orleans Picayune says: Some years since, a respectable merchant of this city, then living in another State, was divorced from his wife. Ito left! the place of his domestic misfortunes and time here. Time cured the sting of his lacerated affections, and he married again. His divorced wile married too.. This was.known to both, but no comma. nication, by letter or otherwise, was kept up; and so the years went by, and each was almost forgotten by the other in the new ties they had formed. But accident has some queer meetings, and fate plays curious tricks. It so hap. paned that the divorced wife and her present husband came to Row Orleans some weeks since, and on Sunday attended church. Being strangers, they were shown to a vacant pew, and pre• pared to engage in the service. But just then Me owner of the pew and his wife came in. It was large enough for all, and the strangers were requested to re main seated. There was something, however, in the gentleman's appearance that attracted the attention of the lady visitor, and watching him closely, their eyes met in mutual reoognition. It was the divorced wife and husband. After the lapse of many yeses they met ID this strange way. They kept their counsel, however, and when the service was over parted as strangers. Tag Indianapolis Baneful says: An inquest was held yesterday by Coroner Alfred on the body of Alexander Barrett, a colored man aged about 22 years, who was found dead in. his bed yesterday ' morning. On the night previous Barret had attended services at the colored Methodist Church, and returned home singing, and in apparent good health. A port mortem examination of the body, made at the Inquest by Dr. Avery, die. closed a large tumor adhering to the inner and right side of the heart. As it was known that the deceased had acct. dentally shot himself in the head eight years ago, since when he was subject to Ms of epilepsy, a further examination was deemed adessble, and for the purpose Dr. Avery removed the skull, exposing the brain. The brain appeared natural on the outside, with the exception of the front lobe of the left hemisphere, where a funnel shaped nole was discove red, fill ed by a splcular of bone, driven there by the pistol ball. It appears that the ball entered below the left eye, near the nose, and-altar passing through two inches of the brain to where it was. found, on the examination yesterday, encysted near the afitarior lobe of the left hemisphere.
