Bending the Twigs. The Indians are
undeniably on the war path again. Daily
records of their cruel outrages come to usly
teleetaph, anJ. doubtless, not the ha'.!' i.-.
tolJ. Wa fear that they need another sound
thrashing before they will take kindly to
"thee" and "thou," wear broad-brimmed
hats over their scalp lucks, and evince a dis
position to raise Irvttd .instead of Lcgcinc
and steal'tntr it. The only f. ar it-tint they
b ill nrrer do so. lie this as it may, there i
much serine in the snsfe-dion of a veteran
Indian fighter, whi thinks that the populat

is sanguine regarding ilie feasibility of re
claiming the yonn.i; savage. The force of
this sngcetstion tnn.t be felt by all. When
we would tame a iion or a licrr, a rabbit or
a partridge, we never take the old ones. Wt
secure the tender young, and our efforts are
often attended with success. Why not ap
ply the principle to the taming of wild men?
Let us do the best we can with the red
adults, which we confess seems more likely

I'erhaps we may find that. Solomon's wis
dom is as applicable to Sioux human na
ture as to any other variety of that article,
and that if we train up an Iwh'-m child in
the way he should go, when he is old he
will not depart from the reservations we
have placed him on, to murder emigrants
and steal their horses.
A.v Oni'irs Monopoly. There is an
other, and to those extensively engaged in
the printing and publishing business, an
odious . monopoly established. A leading
paper manufacuring firm of Cincinnati have
received notiee that they must pay a royal
ly on every pound of paper in which straw
is a uiffterial. A combination of Eastern
manfacturers of pn. per, have bought up all
the patents embr.vine the unking of paper
from fdrtiw, and last winter they slipped
through Congress an extension of the prin
ciple patent for seven years, and now, hav
ing all the powers in the hands of the ring,
they have come do n on the outside paper
manufacturers with this demand, texturing
not only that they shall pay a heavy royalty,
but shall fix their prices as ordared by the
ring, which proposes to regulate the ip.ianti
ty manufactured, in order to regulate the
prices.
PROTESTANT I.NDEl'KNi'KN'CK. Tile Pi'O
te.itaut Conres which assembled at Worms,
Germany, on .Monday, 3Iay 31st, declared
by a unanimous vote that they would not re
turn to the fold of R mf, be the invitations
of the Pope ever so tempting. The Luther
ans, Prc.-byterians. and uio-t oilier protes
tant denominations, in this couc try scoff at
the offers of the venerable Pins, and so far
no favorable vie has been taken of tho
Pope's recent letter to Protestants, unless
possibly the liitualists may have a leaning
that way. Int who expected that there
would be a favorable response? Is there a
single good reason to expect that the work of
Martin Luther will be undone at the present
day? If s, we canfess we have seen no
signs of it.

Because they cannot st:t a Republic now,
they will not refuse to support the new con

very sensible, and it only needs a disposition
to liberate Cuba to cause us to have a very
high respect for the Spaniards of the pies

Remark aijlk Proposition. There has
been, since the foundation of the system of
lypolhecation, a great many strange thing?
put into pawn, but the latest notable in

to negotiate a loan with this country, and as
security she will give a wipe a real "por

Tho Public Debt.
Since the announcement of a line of poli
cy by Secretary Boutwell he has become an
object of attack by ail the gold and stock
gamblers in the land, as well us by Demo
cratic journals, whoe only source of argu
ment and hope of figure party strength is
in the failure of measures propounded or
entered upon by K.-publieau uiHciaU. There
is a certain class of po'.itician.s and specula
tor1, and even legitimate business men, who
are morbid !y determined to be displeased
with every financial step taken. When the
public debt showed symptoms of increase,
thev howled inordinately about extravagance
and were bursting with projects of curtail
ment. When the public debt begin to re
create, they cither retired in sullen diap
pointiiieoi from controversy or bellowed with
renewed strong;'! concerning the dangers of
breaking down the old ruts and running the
Treasury upon an improved track.
That Mr. Boutwell has in the short space
of three mouths succeeded in depriving the
Democrats of a party cry, and the gamblers
cl an undue control over the money markets,
is certainly creditable, and in the minds of
all j'it men should entitle 1 im to a patient
and respectful hearing. The public debt
statement, just published, is a flattering ex
hibit, and will prove exceedingly grateful to
lb,; people. It shows that under faithful
management the debt ha decreased during
the month of .May, nearly fourteen millions
of dj'lars, and that since the beginning ot
Mr. Boutwell's term there has bocu a de
crease of over twenty millions.
At th'f, rate we may safely count upon an
extiniviishm-nt of debt equal to eighty mil
lions annually, for during this period the
Treasury met the coin interest upon the May
five twenties, a drain almost as severe as it
wid be compelled to withstand at any other
period. But a greater annual decrease than
this may be anticipated, since each month
of Mr. Boutwell's occupancy shows a large
ly increa-ing surplus. During the chaos cf
change in March the exhibit was nothing
more than hopeful; in April a surplus of
nearly six millions was recorded, and now
we have th magnificent figures above set
forth. The ponderous and complicated ma
chine is daily and hourly becoming more
controllable. When the battle which the
Secretary has been waging with speculators
is settled, and he enters into the enjoyment
of that coufilence which his victory entitles
him to, the great work will be completely in
hand, and the decrease of last month may
become a fair monthly average.
Hitherto the assets of the Treasury have
been repres nted by the amount of currency
and coin therein. Now we have a new ami
substantial element added, in the shape of a
sinking fund. The large coin surplus was a
healthy indication, and gave assurance to
holders of securities whoso interest was pay
able in that metal. For many months it
ha j ranged from seventy-five to one hundred
millions. Whrn Mr. Boutwell proposed to
throw one or more millions of this surplus
per week upon the market, croakers cried
out with alarm lest the grand total should
rapidly fill below the interest requirements.
But their f; ars maybe dismissed, for the
C'!n in ihcTrcasurynowamnuntstn$S1.00f.

gathered from duties it will increase rather
than daerr-a.-o.

embryo. We get at it by indirection : ,

When i; i-, remembered that Mr. McCul
loch and his predecessors were frequently
forced to go into a disastrous market with
their coin savings in order to raise a sufficient
amount of currency to conduct the ordinary
business of the Governu.ent, the iufcreme
is plain fn m tho currency exhibit now made
that Mr. Boutwell will be troubled with ni
such despairing shifts. He lias now a cur
rency reserve of over nir.cteeri millions, which
in view of the general stiiome of retrench
ment, is ample for all the ordinary purposes
of the Government, and that especially since
the lilt: It order of the new revenue appoint
ees and their faithful adhesion to duty is
bringing into the Trea.-ury the full amount
believed to be due to it.
iewed in every aspect, tie country can
not but c lo'vatnlate Mr. B iuiwell upon bis
management of the Treasury thus Air. He
did not cuter upon his duties with the pres
tige of a banking reputation, and conse
quently financiers may have distrusted. while
gamblers chuckled at the prospect of an
ca.y victim. Both have been disappointed ;
the former agreeably, the latter to their cost.
His policy, though new, is not novel. It
has all the cieiuents of common sense, and
that is perhaps its best eulogium. The peo
ple ate a:Ie to understand his steps, for
their wisdom appears on the slightest exam
ination. If confidence is withheld it will
n it 1 e .-o justly, but. in obedience to that
trucking churlishness which springs from
party blindness or abased self interest, and
if the success which the ;re.-ent monthly
statement indicates does not continue, then
tnerc- is uo consolation to be drawn from the
widest calculations.
It is rumored that Bulee was recalled on
account of his lenity toward the Cuban in
surgents. If so, thtii let Be Roda appear
with a heel of rougher iron and a breath
more vengeful, and Cuban independence will
not be postponed. The touch of a greater
tyrum's foot. and tones of a harsher despot's
voice, will kindle a fire in the island that
will speedily consume all the fragments of
Spanish dynasty, and lick up the guerilla
volunteers as insurrectionary and worthless
chaff.

Desirable Exckstiucity. The latest
contribution to the Conscience Fund comes
from an English holder of our five twenty
bonds. lie returns three per ceut. out of
six fper cent, iutercst be has received n
his (securities, rema: king that six percent,
is too high, and in fact extortionate, con
sidering the present burdens of the Ameri
can people. This worthy an honorable En
glishman, who is said to have been a mem
ber of Parliament, is regarded at Washing
ton as a kind of lunatic for this action. To
raranhrase the remark with which Mr. LIN
COLN" rebuked those who, about the time of
the capture of Vicksbmg, accused G RANT
of being a drunkard, we ardently wish there
were a great many of this kind of lunatics
among the bond holding class at least we
wish the spirit that dictated this eccentric
action, the spirit of consideration for those
who work hard to pay the interest on the
public debt, were more common than it is
among those ho simply told their bands
and receive the money. If it were it would
simplify very materially some of the prob
lems that must press upon the attention of
our people before long.
TnitEE Cars Submerged. An extraor
dinary occurrence took place in Crawford
county, a few days since. The Titusville
nrald of June 1st, states that a part of
the track of the Oil Creek Railroad gave
way ueur Gray's mills, and allowed one cr.r
to sink into a bed of quicksand. The break
occurred where the track was laid across a
peat bog. and took place while a gravel train,
which had run on that part of the track,
was being nnloaded. Three of the cars be
gan to sink rapidly, in a few minutes after
the work of unloading commenced, ami in a
short time one of them was below the sur
face. An attempt was made to draw the
other two on the track, but it failed, and
during Sunday afternoon and yesterday the
cars continued to sink, and at last accounts
they were about twelve feet below the sur
face. About two hundred and twenty-five
laborers were at work yesterday on the track,
but the relaying of it has been found to be
more' difficult than was at fir.-t supposed.
The bog is quite large ; and where the track
crosses it is about one hundred yards broad.
It was sounded in several places yesterday
and found to be about thirty-eight feet deep.
No More "Colonizing;." The Court
of Common Pleas of Philadelphia, have de
cided an important question raised under
the 27th section of the Registry Law, which
applies especially to hotels, taverns, Sailor
boarding houses, &a., iu that city. The
Court sustain the letter and spirit of the
act. The result is that, under this provis
ion of the law, there can be no more colo
nizing iu Philadelphia, as the Assessors are
prohibited from registering any of the in
mates of these establishments. If they are
citizens and qualified voters, they must
come before a Board of Canvassers and es
tablish their right. This will rane another
howl from the Copperheads, as their big
majorities in certain wards are in good part
made up of bogus voters who profess to hail
from these establishments.
FitKE Trade vs. Protection. The
Free Trailers are holding weekly meetings
iu New York and making sreat efforts to
disseminate the free trade doctrines. As an
offset to their efforts IIoiaccGreely has
commenced publishing in the Tribune a se
ries of articles to expose the fallacies of free
trade and elucidate the principles of protec
tion. We know of few men in the country
who are abler or mote earnest advocates of
protection to American industry than Mr.
Grcciy, and his articles will no doubt com
mand a wide-spread circulation.
The Qt rsTioN in a Nct -Shell. The
Miner Journal estimates that under free
trade, a laborer would receive in this coun
try in order to compete with European man
ufactures, about 75 cents a day; tinder a
protective tariff he would not receive less
than $1,50 to $1,75 a day, and the duties
that ho would have to pay per day, owing to
the enhanced value of the articles he con
sumes under a protective policy, would not
exceed 20 cents a day. This is the question
in a nut shell. American workmen should
ponder it.

Poisonous Flocr. Last year consider
able excitement was occasioned in the State

were more or less poisoned. This waa ac

a small quantity of lead having been ground

that the flour was made from a lot of bug
gy wheat. He says that the black Suout
beetle Sltophilus grunarius about ttne
fifth of an inch long, which is commonly
found iu granaries, has been used success
fully at the South as a substitute for the
Spanish Blister beetle CantharlJes
which are known to be fatally poisonous
when taken internally. He alo quotes the
opinion of a medical man that these grain
