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

■
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

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.

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.
Banszowszt, the Pole, who attempted'
to assassinate the Emperor Alexander, of

hie visit to the French Exposition, was
condemned to the guillotine, but on the
intercession of the Czar, the sentence was
commuted to imprisonment for life. The
latest intelligence from Europe announ•
ces that Beresowski managed to escape
from the French penal settlement at New
Caledonia, bat after wandering about for
three or four dam was recaptured in
state of complete exhaustion, not hazing

A. New York fashion writer says :
New York la not as gay sa to its wont
this winter. In fact, I fancy, great enter
tainments like those "you read about"
are falling into disrepute—they coat so
much and are worth so little. Fifty peo
ple make a jam in our small brown stone
houses, Which are as alike as two peas;
'and "jams" are inconalsteat with comfort
and trained dresses.
Of course, there is much• visiting and
entertaining, but it is gradually assuming
a different and more aenlible form.
"Evenings," email recherche dinners and
"receptions," at 'which some character
istic entertainment is provided, are the
vogue,
and are altogether more agreeable
than the mere crowd, where one loses
one's temper, ruins one's dress, and can
not exchange a word with a single person
that one knows.
Ordinary "parties" have, Indeed, noth
ing in the world to recommend them, ex.
cept the tact that almost everybody can
give one, and that they enable people to
clear off all the old scores.
- Light, warmth, to a cartel! amount of
apace, music and something to eat are all
the requisites for the entertainment of
one or two hundred persons, but an ele•
gent little dinner is a very different affair.
This requires perilous of detail, a chef de
cuisine, trained servants In every depart
ment, and that thorough system and order
which cannot be sent like the Charlotte
Ramie frem a confectioner's,_ but mus
come from habit.
'Receptioni" are a faror and are of
all kinds. There are the weekly recep
tion of persons who will receive the
whole season through, on a stated even
ing; there are day reeepticihs, and•woci•
ding reception, and art receptions, and
club receptions, stall of which, it is un•

sense, is not required; that lathes can
