That is the only reason why The ; Palladicic has been kept alive for Fobtt-two Txabs, permit us, gentle reader, modestly to suggest And, now, we ask our old friends to speak a word in season, in its behalf renew their own subscriptions and aak their neighbors to go and do likewise. The price of . The ' PAiXJonrt, is $1.50 in advance. Wb shall endeavor, hereafter to 'paddle our own canoe," in the local stream, and we hope our friends will think it no hardship to furnish us with any incidents, acdetents, &c., that may happen in their "bailiwicks."' . ' The apportionment bill for State Senators and Representatives, is up for discussion in the House. Wayne has one Senator and two Representatives, as usual Miss BurlingHutt of Indianapolis, has been the Clerk of the Senate Committee on Benevolent Institutions of the State Legislature, and .; has discharged the duties with great acceptance. Lida Showalter, of Terre Hanie, has - been commisioned a notary Sublic by the Governor of Indiana, e first case of a female notary in the State.

In the Paixadicm of last week, was a brief notice of the amendment of the law of 71, making its provisions applicable to cities of 8,000 inhabi tants, instead of 30,000, which was introduced by Sir. Walker in the House and passed that body. In that notice, some "objectional features," were . hinted it, and among them the enlargement of the power of the ''Committee," elected under the law, to tax the people for various purposes issue bonds, &c. There seems to be no check on their powers in this respect If they find their numbers are too small, they can re-district the city, and make as many Commissioners as they deem necessary. These were our main objections. ' We like the RxrtnaiJCAS feature of the act providing for the election of the Commissioners that is right The provision that they shall serve without compensation, is also pleasant as well as truly patriotic . We fully believe in the doctrine of making public officers directly responsiM in thtk iam.- imA ftiA noarar -a-A come to that, the more efficient w ill 1 the officers be. . For nearly the whole of the past year, we have had an inharmonious Board of Trustees two only out of the three meeting together, for the transaction of business. Shortly after it became notorious that such was the fact, we wrote a brief editorial alluding to it, and suggested that the Council enquire into the trouble, and make an effort towards securing'harmony therein; but nothing was done, and the difficulty stall exists." If Mr. Walker desired to produce "harmony," by abolishing the present Board of Trustees, and substituting Commissioners, his object may be gained by the passage . of bis amendment; bat still we think the people should be consulted as to their choice in the matter, and we suggest that the friends of the measure call a meeting of the citizens, discuss the subject in all its bearings, and then send up a peti- , tion to the Legislature, telling our law makers just what they do wont , There wffl be plenty of time at the regular session of the Legislature, to fix this matter up to the satisfaction of a majority of our citizens. -, Let it be done, and 'let us have peace" as well as harmony in our School Board, if possible. : j Mccac Lxssoks.

THB INDIAN POLICY OF TUE

QOTCSUfMEKT. v fj' Now that the 'election la over, and with ttha' paaaedtke immediate oecaaion for misunderstanding or misrepresenting the actions of the Administration, it in to' be hoped that men of all.pAitk, aad ptrti.-ulftily the diU.- of newspaper,' fciliMM.-er more cndidJy.llijBdiaii .,, W l'c -oiGtuural Grn "in J it. renlp. The geuerI features of lit iio.icv bv been a reatdeal of unfair criticism, or igiuating t.artly in the ignorance pnrtly iu r e political hostility of the cri ic Every outbreak of robbery or violence on the part of the Indians has been trumpeted as a failure, and every employment of force on the part of the (iovernmentha. been hernl led as a change of the "Indian policy;" whereas, in truth there never has been any plan adopted which ignored " the posibiltty of such outbreaks, or the necessity of punishing them, and of using force to maintain order. Partisans talk as if the protection of citizens had not been the aim of the Government, as if the attempt had been made to treat all Indians alike; as if the white inhabitants of the remoter Territories had been defrauded of something to wbicb they are justly en titled. Bat these accusations are based on erroneous conceptions of the facta of the case, and of the relations of the parties. Strictly speaking,' the Government is not bound to maintain in security and peace the settler upon unsurveyed lands. A man who pushes out into the wilderness before the first steps have been taken to prepare it for inhabitation, civilization and law, has no right to demand that the army of the Unit ed States shall follow to look after him, and see that he comes to do harm. It is a question of policy, of the interests of the whole people, which pays the Cost of the operattou, whether civil government shall be extended everywhere throughout its domain, or not. But this question has been tacitly decided in the affirmative. Whether this decision was ' wise, may be a matter of doubt. It wa certainly in accordance with the impatient and enterprising spirit of our people; and obedience to it tbe Government haa loyally cn deavored to maintain peace, suppress dieorder,ad protect the lives and property ot its citizens throughout the Indian country. In dealing with this difficult and expensive work, it has been necessary to decide what should be the treatment of the Indians; and at the heart of this problem lies tbe question, whether Indians have any rights at alt, which white men are bound to respect ; It would be an everlasting shame to America, should the answer to this question be other thatl an honest, just and Cbristain one. Honesty requires that we keep our plighted word, often given to the Indian tribes; justice would demand even in the absence of a foregoing promise the protection of Indians as well as whites; and Christianity en forces these considerations with double stringency, because the objects of them are our inferiors. These aro common-place senti ments; but they . need to be reiterat ed often, In the face of an uda cious barbarism which ' lifts its voice at intervals throughout tbo land, calling for the extermination of tbe Indians. The root of tbe factious opposition to General Grants policy in .this matter is this sentiment of determination, nourished, probably, in many localities, not so much by .the desire . for blood as by the hope for profit, coining aisiriouies money in a new Territory like a ateady prolonged, not too successful Indian war and this is just what a wai of extermination would be-Crookes campaign in Oregon was so 'abort. sharp and decisive" that it ended in a disastrous peace. ' The , army postd were dismantled; the troops were withdrawn, and the price of bay, oats and barley fell from ma nificent heights to a desolate dept.. But if it had been a question ot extermination, ths war might have been going on yet, . and '-times" would have continued "lively" along the John Day and the Boise. One form of this feeling crops out io tbe demand that the set tlers themselves shall be allowed to deal with the Indians. . This sounds very brave; but experience has shown that what it means in moat cases is the enlistment, equipment and. payment . of volunteers by the General Government. The Montana "war claims" for the expenses of an expedition which was probably unnecessary to begin with, and which accomplished nothing whatever, aro a good illustration. It ought to be clearly understood in the West that the extermination policy will never be permitted by the Christian and humane people of this country. And it ought to be understood in the East that the current condem nation of our present treatment of the Indians comes mainly from those who - mean : extermination, and is tainted with cruelty and the hope of gain. ; ?. .. : On the other hand, fair criticism is really needed above all, that which consists in spreading a true knowledge of the facts. The Government may certainly make mistake in the selection of agents and in dealing with local questions. What it needs is light, not noise. The employment of the army to restrain ana to pontib bottile In dians is just as much a part of it plan as tbe support and encourage ment of peaceful Indians. The treatment of all Indians alike i. the plan of the exterminists, not of the Government Discretion and discrimination these are 1 the tasis of the just and wise nolicv which we are sincerely seeking to I01IOW.

When any tribo or band of savages, having refused to make or to abide by a treaty, are delivered

over to the military arm, it is not r l . .. ia . -- at . 4 iair to say inai tue inaian policy is a failure, any. more than to say that family government is a failure, every time a transgression is punished. - A -father will inflict even a personal .tihiatiaemcnt good many times,' without - ever dream- r is2 of a resort to extermination, t . But It might be legitimately urged that some peculiar features ot the present policy have fail, d, such as the l eservatioit-plan, the . nomination of agents by religeous bodies, etc . ' So long as the avowed or implied meaning of the ol pectoris not that all humane plans mus: fail, .and, that, the stronger race ouht 44to wipe" out the weaker, criticisms are in order; and the class of criticisms junt iodicatcd is legitimate but not . tn.. For the policy of General G ant ta been so signally succewtui in most of the Territories, that rhf difficulties which have attendee :t exe cution in a few instance-, ender peculiar disadvantages, i eet not discourage us. We shall not argue thJs proposition. We appeal to the Report ! of the Commissionsr of Indian Af- f fairs A document which ought to be widely read for the demorrtra- : tion. Defects in administrative j detail, unfortunate confusions '. nod collisions ot authority, indiscrc- ; tions of agents and meddiins of outsiders, there Lave been; but iu spite of all, the Indian policy promises, better, and has accom plished more,' than any tbat baa preceded it. Christian Union. ; Senator Morton. ' ' Probably tbo proudest moment In the life of Senator Morton was the Ute popular recognition of his services aiid labors by his return to the U. S. Senate., , No man was ever more bitterly arraigned at the bar of public opinion and no min ever gained a more honorable and com It. plete vindication. No man ever returned from the field of triumph with fresher laurels or more fairly won. From his throne in the affection and confidence of a great party he witnesses the complete rout of his foes. From the ansry waves of slander and foul calumny ' the solid structure . of his fame rises pure and unsullied. Proven faithful in the most trying ordealu, the people hare i teamed to trust and believe in him, and t hile he lives be will receive the hi.rl.eMi f honors they have to bestow.

The men who are provoking a scene . of bloodshed in New Orleans, and the business men . who are aiding and abetting violence by expressions of their sympathy for the Waruiotb party, do -not eeeai to utdersland the posi u n of the L,feivleat in the matter. It is idle lor , tticm to appoint, a $ committee ot one hundred, or live ' hundred, to present their griev- I ances at Washington. ". It is cut a question of who is right or who is wrong that is now to bo decided I by the Federal authorities, but aimply whether the decrees of a United Slates court are to be respect- i ed until they, are reversed. The President has nothing to do with ' WarmAth r.r W 1 1 rrr rr IJivinViliA. I or McEnry .The cases of these men were brought before a competent court, and a decision was rendered. This is no time to inquire whether that decision was right or wrong. The decree must be re- . -.1 : 1 l. i. -ptcieu, nmiy u uecu vc, ii wilt uu j enforced by the whole power of the J army. Ihe men who set themelves up as the judges of the mo tives of the courts will simply find 1 that it would be maoh cheaper for then to quietly submit to the 1 j w and make their objections in alegar and peaceful manner.

Thus io effect, the President tell j them: 'I wish to knor? nothing of j the various sides to this question, j I may be biassed by the represenlatives of one party or the, other. My duty is to enforce the law, and ; this I intend to do." It will be well for these men if they see the r dangerous course they are pursu-! ing, ana stop Deiore u is too iau-.

PosTPoxx.--On Monday last, the House indefinitely postponed the bill repealing the law authorizing counties and townships to subscribe money in aid of railroads. Our judgment is, that the .

taxed competent to vote tm the question of subscribing money ' for railroad purposes. Where self-taxation is to be voted for or ' against,' we believe in" property-qualification in the voter he will then feel that his vote means "biz." r " Chipped band, face, toagb akin; pimples, ringworms, salt-rheum, and other cataoeooa affections eared and the akta made soft and smooth by asing the Juniper Tar Soap,made br Caswell, Baaard Co., Saw York.
