The treatment of the Indians so as to secure the peaceable possession of the wild lands of the continent and protect the pioneers of settlement, without repeating the inhumanity of the Spanish conquests of Ilespaniola, Mexico and Peru, is a problem which has puzzled American statesmen from the establishment of the Union to the present time. President Grant's administration has come nearer the attainment of the happy medium than any other; and although threatened with a general warfare with all the fierce tribes of the plains from the Yellow Stone to the Rio fJran'o, and the mountain tribes from Montana to Arizona, on account of the building or contem potion of railroads through the "Grei.t "West," many tribes have been gathered into peaceful reservations the contumacious have been punished in a number of instances, and the strongest confederations against advancing civilization have been restrained from general warfare, and some of the hostile chiefs are now plied with reasons for peace, instead of plunging into hostilities which can only result in the destruction of the Indian race. Of course, with so many tribes to deal with, and the young men eager for war, it has been impossible to prevent any resort to violence, and numerous outrages have been committed on isolated settlers, straying hunters, and small railroad parties; and as a matter of course the policy of the administration has been subjected to severe criticism, as being cowardly, humane to the Indian and cruel to the white. This criticism has prevailed especially among the frontiersmen, who believe no game so legitimate and exciting as "Live Indian," and the thieves and agents who, under the old way, got the Indians' annuity in exchange for worthless or destructive goods at ten times their value. The latter, especially, see no merit in the es tabliohment of reservations, that the Indians may receive their annuities the year round, and be taught the arts of husbandry, literature and permanent homes. Measured by its accomplishment, the new policy is the best cheapest and safest to the country as well as the justest to the Indians. During the whole of Grant's administration there have not been as many whites killed by the Indians as have been slaughtered in many a single foray of the old tribes upon the once frontiers of .New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the "dark and bloody ground. V Not so many as were killed in the single outbreak in the Northwest seven or eight years ago. "Where the Indians were lound determined on war, and refusing to meet any advancements of peace, they were fallen upon by a vigorous force. That vast section of country crossed by thffansas Pacific and the Union Pacific railfcmds has been cleared of hostile tribes, and the Indians gathered on reservations, so that these lines of travel are as safe from Indians as the Vandalia or any other line of road east of the Mississippi. In doing this a few severe lessons have been impressed upon some of the tribes; and this gives the partisan fault-finders occasion to criticise the too great severity of the Indian policy of the Administration, as well as its too great leniency, and such Liberal papers as the Louisville Courier-Journal, which are thinking more of what he did in the Valley and at Five Forks, denounce Sheridan as a slaughterer of squaws and papooses. The latest complication of the Indian question grows out of the determination cf a number of the tribes to make their expulsion from the Union and Kansas Pacific railroad region a cause for refusing to negotiate the right of way of the Nor: hern Pacific Road. They avoided or ignored all understanding ia regard to this, and while some of the chiefs have talked of peace, others have actually made war; and the Government, which has forborne all along, gives warning that it will be compelled to deal sternly with those who refused to negotiate. In that . particular section the cavalry will be sent to the front and the Quakers drawn back to the rear for a short time. There is to be no change of policy; but those who will not see the necessities of living on certain reservations where they may bo fed, clothed, schooled and Qcakerized, must be made to see it, for their own good as well as the good of the country. The Quakers, schools and supplies will not be withheld because a little fire has been necessary, but will be extended to the beaten tribes to convince them of

their error in requiring a beating and to make their last estate better than their first. The humane', policy of seeing that the Indians get the value of their annuities, are tiught to live in comfort, and protected from, the old race of robbers who kept them drunk a few weeks to rob them of their year's allowance, will be continued, and if experience shows any manner cf improving in practice that it may be more humane, that experience will be put to accoun, as we are assured by the President. His Indian policy is only to be changed by still further infusions of humanity. Better reply was 'never made to inhuman cavil; and the fact that urant dared make it on the eve of the election, when he might have deferred it till afterwards, shows that he is eminently fit for the position he holds, although no political scheemer or eloquent deliverer of cunning platitudes. IX. THE SUMMING IT. The Sentinel speaks confidently of the result of the election in this State and Illinois next Tuesday. Of course there is not the remotest chance of the Liberals carrying Illinois, and there are many reasons why they should not carry Indiana. One of these is the assumption of the Sentinel that the prosecution of the Tammany thieves of New York is a "piece of outrageous political trickery." As the Tammany ring, headed by Hall, is Greeley's chief support in New York City, it will be seen that the "triumph in the air" is the triumph of the Tammany ring. Does Indiana want to endorse Tammany? Appropos to this subject is a careful analysis of the situation in New York, made for the Cincinnati Commercial, which says that oa account of the bad character of the candidates on the Greeley tickets in that State and city, and the excellent material of the Republican tickets, thousands of the best Democratic citizens of i he State are openly supporting Grant, Dix .ind Havemeyer, who now stand the best chance of election. Thousands who at first fell into the Liberal movement have left it in disgust on becoming acquainted with the corrupt nature of the controlling spirits, and he majority of. over a hundred thousand promised Grkeley by Hoffman is frittered away to nothing. In Tennessee we are informed that the canvass has turned exclusively upon the question of the right of secession, and Cheatham and Greeley are to be pulled through on the ground that their defeat would le an acknowledgment of the justice of the suppression of the rebellion and the restoration of the Union. Even Andy Johnson is not good enough for them, because he was not on the right side of the "dead issue." A Nashville letter, written no longer ago than Saturday, says: "Wherever the Cheatham orators can get a 'fair wing' at a crowd, they invariably make votes. They picture Johnson's Unionism in hideous colors, ani artfully cull that from his war speeches which reflect upon the Confederate soldiers the most. They then appea. to th ir 'comrades-in-arms' if such sentiments can be indorsed. This man, they say, wants to 'make treason odian?,' and brand with infamy the glorious but lost cause for which you fought. Wi'l you h. lp hira to do it Will you vote for a man who wa against you in your struggle for independence against the man who was for you, who stsod by his people and bis SMe, and who lay with yon in the trenches and eaten hard-tack?" Is there any Republican who want3 Indiana summed up with those who are fighting again for the right of secession? If the State goes for Greeley, the Tammany thieves and the Tennessee ex rebels will rejoice. . If it goes for Grant, the honest men of New York and the Union men of Ten nessed will rejoice. The moral as well as political reputation of the State for years will depend upon the result next Tuesday, and those, whose interests depend on the good name and prosperity of the State can not aflord to have it set down in the general summing up as the ally of the "Tammany thieves" and the "last ditches "

EDITORIAL NOTES. . The largest vote ever known in Ohio, was cast at the October election, it being 519,937. Four years ago, at the State election, the rote was 510,747, and in November it was 518,829. On State officers, the Republicans give 1,240 less than in 1SGS, and the Democrats have 2,083 more votes than at that time. In the State at large, the Republicans gain largely, but the htavy German defection in Cincinnati overbalance the accessions outside of that city. i We are told by a distinguished Democratic politL-iCQ, that Ohio is certain to give her electoral vote to the man nominated at Cincinnati It is true that there is a trifling majority of fitteen thousand to overcome, but he feels confident nevertheless. The fact really is that these Democratic leaders, since the October election, have so brooded over the situation that their reason has become unsettled, and what a few weeks ago was only a lack of judgment, is now simply driveliing idiecy. A correspondent whose predictions with reference to the results of the September and October elections have been wonderfully verified, having completed a canvass of New York, gives the State to the Republicans by a majority of 17,000, with every indication pointing to a much larger majority. He say 3: "General Grnl I t tronger than his party everywhere, so that his majority will mount far above this estimate, while that of General Dix, in all probabiaty, will not be less than 25,000." It is stated that the California gold product is gradually decreasing. A number of claims worked by sluices and hydraulic processes are exhausted every year, and but few new ones are opened. The productive auriferous quartz mines are not increasing in number and importance, it is thought, because many of the most intelligent and enterprising miners and mining engineers find a large profit In the Nevada silver mines, which more than compensate, by their rising importance, for the decline in the yield of California. A new remedy for the horse disease is suggested by Henry Bergh, and deserves consideration. He advises complete rest, warm blankets, non-exposure to drafts of air, disinfectants, total absence of bleeding and prostrating cathartics, tvrenty or thirty drops of tincture of iron in one gill of Jamaica rum, dissolved

with water, given every four hours to preserve the strength of the hcrse, cr tinc ture of arnica will produce relief. A plaster bound around the throat composed of one portion of cr.yenne pepper and two of flax seed, mixed with vine gar i3 excellent. Ths reported discovery of diamonds is Arizona and Colorado appears to be now quite well authenticated. Several packages of stones have been tested in San FranciEco, and proved to be diamonds of the first water. Denver is naturally ablpze with excitement on the subject. A company of one hundred men is nearly organized there to go to the spot fully equpped, and others will doubtless follow, as new discoveries are reported nearly every day. Some go far enough to think that the(diamond fields of Colorado will eclipse even her wealth in silver and gold. A letter waiter writing from Pari?, says the number of Americans there is very great. Every hotel in the city is full to overflowing, and the majority of tht guests are from the United States. It is also observed to be the same throughout Europe; wherever. the tide of pleasure-travel leads, America is represented as it scarcely ever was represented before. Although this is generally the season of return from European tours, there appear to be as many Americans arriving abroad as there are leaving, and the American colony in Paris promises to be larger the coming winter than it has been for many years.

The globe is nearly begirt with telegraph wire. We are in daily communication with our antipodes, and very soon shall probaalyhave messages passing around the entire globe. Last week we had news from Australia only twenty-four hours on the way; and we shall soon be in receipt cf hourly telegrams from that distant point. These dispatches come from the Colony of Victoiia to India, thence to London and New York. They announce the existence of a hostile demonstration by the natives of Chatham Islands, in the South Pacific Ocean, against the white settler?, who are threatened with extermination by murder. The Great Eastern, whose builders did better work than they knew, will soon cross the ocean a fourth time, to add another to the three; submarine cables which now connect America and England. Telegraphic communications between these two countries is in the hands of a monopoly, and a profitable monopoly, as is shown by their profits, last year, of over half a million dollars. The reduction in the rates, which ha3 been so long demanded by the business interests of both countries, is slowly being gained through the adoption of .better and cheaper method?, but would be much more rapid if competition were allowed. Few persons are aware how immense the lumber trade of the United States really is, and how rapidly increasing. Not only is this the case in the Atlantic States and in the North, but even on the Pacific coast the demand, both for borne consumption and for export, Is very great. From Puget Sound alone the shipments of fir were, in the year 1869, nearly one hundred and thirty-seven millions of feet, and this year, so rapidly has the demand risen, they will be two hundred and thirty-eight millions. This timber goes almost over the world. .It is shipped, according to the Cuslom House records, to Callao, Tahiti, London, Mexico, Australia, Russia, New York, China, Valparaiso, Honolulu, Panama, Calcutta and Victoria. The great damage caused in Italy by the overflow cf the Po and its tributaries seems likely to be productive of very serious consequences. Apart from the great loss of human Vie, in itself sufficiently disastrous, there now seuns every probability, in consequence of the submersion of the valley lands, on which s greater portion of the crops are grown, that throughout Italy during the coming winter there will be a very great scarcity of all descriptions of food. The Italian peasantry never have any remarkable opportunity for becomgourmands, and, if their ordinary meagre stock of food is to be at all reduced, suffering in no small degree must certainly be the result of the curtailment. At an English dinner party, composed of authors, at the time when the name of Napoleon was used as a bug bear to frighten children, and the "Corsican Ogre" was, if any thing, in the 6igbt of John Bull, rather worse than Satan himself, a distinguished guest rose and solemnly gave a toast, "The Emperor Napoleon." Indignation, surprise, suspicious glances at the wine decanters. "Not that I admire the man," continued the speaker, "but, gentlemen, I honor him because he once shot a publisher!' Nowadays "they have changed all that" in France. Instead of leaving the punishment of these publishers to Emperor, King or mob, the authors are themselves the instruments of their renenge. The world is becoming more and more enlightened everyday. The black clouds of superstition and prejudice are rapidly passing away. The Theological Seminary at Auburn, New York, has made an important movement in favor of muscular Christianity, by establishing a bowling alley in connection with the institution. Such sensible aids to the spread of religion are of such rare occurrence as to- deserve notice. We are entirely safe in the prediction that the graduates from Auburn will soon cjdimand higher salaries than any of their less fortunate and more flaccid fellows, who graduate with large heads and soft muscles, and who never can get themselves into condition for a free fight with Satan. Prof. Baird, U. 8. Commissioner of fish and fisheries, has bad a consultation with the Commissioners of Massachusetts and New Hampshire upon the subject of introducing salmon eggs into the different streams of the United States, in which it was decided that the salmon egg of the Sacramento river should he placed in Southern waters, as the water of that river is warm, and the South more adr.pted to its character of fish. It is known that the salmon of the6acramento river in flavor and texture is the most superior fish of the species. Its average weight is about fifteen pounds, and its color the same as the gold f the mines. It may be called the staple dinner dish in California, and such is its popularity that it supersedes the general use of meats. The law-abiding virtuous Boston has fallen. It has been the habit of Boston for years past to be very thankful that she was not as other cities are, and to plume herself upon the virtue and good order which reigned within her limits. Lately, however, her criminal record is assuming portentious dimensions, and bids fair soon to exceed that of any other city in the country. A few days since, a clerk was knock

ed down and robbed cf ?3,0C0 in a crowdedrailroad depot, in troad daylight. The horrible murders in B assy's Woods, the recent assassination of Mr. Lane, the numerous Pest Office and bank robberies, forgeries, .thefts,' and defalcations of every description, show that Boston is rapidly getting ahead of other cities In these particulars.

In regard to the robberies committed in houses of ill-fame by prostitutes on drunken bummers, an English ju.'tiee took a very sensible view of such cases ic a recent trial. A Sheffield carouser charged a female companion with stealing his purse. The magistrate declined to proceed on the wo d of a drunken man, and then ordered the complainant arrested on the charge of drunkenness in a public place, delivering him the following address: "I shall fine yoa ten shilliiigs and cos', for being drnLk in a public place. I be!iev that joit were robbed a- d it 1 because I believe that yon w re rubbed tna' I impose tbi fine. I am only sorry that I ea' not imp se a heaver penalty. Ii is tin into erab'e nuisance that ir.en with largo sums of money in th ir porkers fhoold get. ormiK and support a cii.ss o' ih'eves in the town who are rol 111 in weiltli, and who are -nabhdto profit better by thieving than they cou'd by honest l iber A man who allows himself to be robbed in the way you have doue is a public nuisance." HASH ' Whitelaw is looked upon as a broken reed. 'Weight for the Wagonr" as the fat lady sang. The mother's heart is the child's schoolroom. No life is pleasing to God that is not useful to mau. Dirt is not dirt, but only something in the wrong place. Never ask a woolen manufacturer to give up his cards. Dignity and love do not blend well, nor do they continue long together. It is not the one-ideaed man but the chief ideaed man that is successful. To be open to argument and to be open to conviction are two different tilings. A Bowery fish 6tore advertises for "a boy to open oysters about fifteen years ld." Mean spirits under disappointment, like small beer in a thunder storm, always turn sour. The Abbe Bauer, a French prie t, is highly Indignant over a report that he wa3 about to marry. Sir George Pollock, Constable of the Tower of Loudon, has been buried In West Minster Abbey. Many a man who thought he had made a bargain buying silk finds that he has been worsted. Nobody who ever saw Mr. Froude at his meals could have a doubt as to his being an Ecglishman. A colossal equestrian statue of Gen. Lyon has been completed in clay, and is on exhibition in New York. Mrs. Father Ilyacinthe Lsyson was a Delegate to the National Woman's Convention at Washington in 1800. Carl Schurz appears to have stepped off of the stump since the two hundred dollars a night was not forthcoming. Col. Will H. Hays, the veteran poet and journalist, is now editing the register of the National Hotel, at Louisville. Senora Sanz, the contralto of the Italian opera company, receives $ 14,000 for six months' performance in this country. Game is so scarce in the vicinity of Louisville that the sportsmen content themselves with shooting at grasshoppers. Cardoza, who resigned to escape punishment, looks at one with "the eyes of a serpent gleaming out of the face of a corpse." Lord Cowley and Baron Brunnow are the only diplomatists now living of those who were in the Congress of Paris in 1S.V. M. D. Conway thinks that Sir Roundell Palmer, a3 Lord Chalcellor, will be just such a man as roasted heretics for the glory of God. The people of Vineland, New Jersey, contemplate introducing Chinese labor Into the settlement fer the culture of grapes and cranberries. "I can't drink liquor," said Bob, "it goes right to my head." "Well," said Bob's friend, "where could it go with less danger of being crowded?" San Francisco isn't a good place for blacksmith. One of them was recently presented with triplets, and his wife thinks it must be the climate. The south side of the Arkansas River is reported to be lined for one hundred and fifty miles with vast herds of elk, buffalo, wild horses and deer. The Springaeld Republican thinks that the President's thanksgiving proclamation "comes sueplcioufly hard upon th October elections." Poor "Liberal!" At a recent funeral in Georgetown, California, one of the mourners fainted and fell into the open grave, and died in a few minutes after he was extricated. A twelve-year-old by named Lenore, in Avoca, Iowa, didn't think it was loaded, and plugged his seven-year-old sister in the forehead, with fatal effect. Corn being cheaper than wood in Iowa, the report that the people of that 8tate are using it for fuel is not amazing. Anything to keep the ears from freezing. nelmbold, of buchu and six horse circuswagon notoriety, can claim to have swindled the newspapers out of more money than any other man In the United States. The annual report of the Bureau of Education this year will devote considerable space to the discussion of the labor question, and the relation of education thereto. A woman who met with a miserable and violent death in Washington a day or two since was the daughter of a New York millionair'-, and eloped with her father's coachman fifteen years ago. Mr. Gilmore hopes the suggestion that each member of the Jubilee chorus should send him a dollar, may never be acted upon, ne already feels under the deepest obligations to the chorus. The Pope said on heating that Father nyacinthe was married: "The Sdints be praised, the renegade has taken his punishment into his own hands. The ways of Providence are inscrutable." Baltimore claims to Import more coffee than any other American city, and it would seem with good grounds, as eleven millions in duties on that artiele have leen collected during the past year. All sorts of extraordinary occurrences are constantly transpiring in Georgia. The latest story is to the ffect that a turtle's head, whick had been cut off for several days, bit a duck's neck and killed the fowl.

A hard-shell Democrat in the interior explained recently that be could and did support Greeley, "because he was the first man to advocate general animosity." They have thi.t complaint bad down in Georgia. It is related that every morning during the past twenty-five years Thiers has received from some annoymous donor a buch of violets. Every attempt to discover the author of this unvarying attention has proved fruitless. The unusual size of the bustles worn 1j ladies on the Detroit River ferry boats, plying between that city and Windsor, Cmada, js unaccountable to 6trangers, but the customhouse officers say they knew haul abo.it it. There is one young lady in town who ate eysters all through the month of August, when 6he could get them, under the suppo.cfcion that here was an "r" in that month.

About two lundred mink escaped a few nights since from the minkery of Owen A: Pendleton, at Mys:ic, and since then none of the little fugitives have been captured. The late General Schouler knew Burns and Christopher North, and wu3 fond cf quoting both, says the Boston Journal. Sinci Burns has been dead 6eventy-six years, woild the Journal please remark at what age General Schouler knew Burns? Ju-tin McCarthy, who has been traveling among the Highlands, says: "The hostess of the inn of Melrose showed us with great pride a photograph of General Sherman, but said it did not do him justice, and that he was a far finer man, and had been in that very parlor." An Auburn convict, having been released after a three years' eervice, sought out the widow of a former acquaintance, known before his

L sentence, and paid her a small sum of oaoncy he had borrowed of her husband while the latter and himstlf were at work together in El; mira. The opera season has been opened at St. Louis by a double company, playing alternately in English and in German. It includes Miss Fanny Simonson, Mrs. Zelda Seguin, Mr. Brookhouse Bowler, Mr. G. F. Hall, Mme. Lichtmay, Mme. Clara Perl, and Ilerres Bernhard, Vierling and Formes. The effect of the "balmy skies of Italj" upon American sojourners thereunder ic sometimes very singular. For instance, there is James Foley, who was once a plain Connecticut gentleman and a good singer, Is now, after a few month3 residence abroad, knowm is "SignorFoli," the gifted basso prof undo. Thomas J. Digby, a farmer of 3aldwin county, Georgia, a wounded toldiers of the Lost Cause, has made on forty acres of land, without any assistance, 9 bales of cotton, 125 bushels of corn, 25 bushels peas, 100 bustels of patatoes, 4 stacks of fodder and a large quantity of hay, the whole valued at $1,170. The New York World eays the horse dis ease in Rochester "has been so extensive as to embarrass the business men by a lack of transportation and carriage." This is a m'stake and a mistake is the most natural thing in the World it was not a lack of earriac that bothered the Rochesterians; it was the lack of horse. An appreciative writer tells us that the Shasta Indian women are the most beautiful squaws upon tin "Plains" and in the Valleys of California tall, lithe of form, with expressive features, long black hair hanging two-thirds o; the way to the ground, flashing eyes, the purple flush upon the cheeks of the Orient, avd delicate hands and feet. 1 It was "blasted" dark in Lynchburg, Tirginia, one night last week.

Forty-seven years ago young Adolfa Thiers arrived in Paris with less than fortyrancs in his pocket. The first employment .he found was a proof-reader of Paul de Rod's novels. Ha is now President of France. Forty francs, by the way, probably corresponds to the mystic sum of 'two and sixpence" with vhich all great men of Anglo-Saxon lineage begin their ambitious careers. A man of mature years in Vancouver, who had a wife from whom he had been separated, lately bestowed his tried affections on a girl of fourteen, and, as the girl's father took the liberty to object to her receiving them, the precious pair went to work to prove that the old man waa crazv, and incapable of managing his own affairs. The girl swore to tbi! statement, and a guardian was appointed who consented to the proposed marrax. TOBACCO AND SVliE. A writer tells a sfory of two well-known Southern clergymen, one of whom undertook to rebuke the other for using the weed: '.'Brother G ," he exclaimed, without stopping to ask any other question, "is it possible that vou chew tobacco?" "I must confess I do," the other quietly replied. ihen I would quit it, 6ir!" the old gentleman energetically continued. "It is a very unclerical practice, and I must say a very uncleanly one. Tobacco! Why, sir, a heg would not chew it?" "Father C." responded his amused listener, "do you chew tobacc?" "I? No, eir!" he answered, gruffly, with much indignation. Then, pray, which is most like the hog, you or I?" The old doctor's fat sides shook with laughter as he paid, "Well, I have been fairly caught this time." PLENTY OF WOOD. KEEP WARM.
