SPEAKING of the newly appointed Postmaster General, the Indianapolis Journal says

Mr. Tyner is one of the oldest and most Efficient postofBoe men in the United States. He was appointed special

Sr.

ent of the Postoffice Department, by Lincoln, in 1861, and served in that capacity with great credit to himself and profit to the government until Mr. Johnson's apostacy from tbe party in 1865, when he resigned and was elected to sucoeed Mr. Colfax in Congress from the Ninth District. He remained in Congress until 1873. During his service in Congress Mr.

Tyner,

while he was

not really tbe chairman, yet was on the Committee on Postofflces and Postroads, and performed the mosf. important duties of the committee. In 1874 Mr. Tyner was appointed Second Assistant Postmaster General, and has filled the position with great efficiency and satisfaction to all parties."

THE Silver bill reported to the House Thursday, by the Conference Committee, which is known as the Randall bill, and which was adopted by a vote of 129 to 75, contains the following provisions: The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to purchase silver bullion to the amount of |20,000,000 with any money in the Treasury, to be coined and issued in the shape of subsidary silver coin. Not more than $1,000,000 worth is to be

the

whole amount of silver coin issued (in lieu of the fractional currency now floating) is not to exceed $50,000,000. No provision is made for the revival of tbe old silver dollar, nor is any change made as to the legal-tender character of the silver coin. The question of a double standard is not likely to be settled at present, but It will hardly be allowed to die out of politics. It will be an important question in the next Con

THE ACCEPTANCE.

The letter of Governor Hayes accepting the Republican nomination for tbe Presidency was given to the public last Monday. Its pernsal has, to Republicans, been the happiest sensation of tbe year. Clear in expression, modest and manly in tone, yet revealing the strong,

any step backward." While not aasum ing to add to tbe platform ou which he was nominated, he makes, through a sense of doty, one declaration ^hich will meet the hearty approval of the public. Regarding tho use of peesldenial patronage to secure a re-olectlotr as opposed to tbe spirit of our institutions and fatal to civil service reform, he declares his inflexible purpose, if elected, not to be a candidate for a second term. Owing to its length, are not able to give the entire document, but append the four paragrapha we consider of chief interest and we heArtlly recommend their eareftil pernsal.

The fifth resolution adopted by the convention Is of paramount interest. More than forty years ago a system of making appointments to office grew up, based upon the maxim. "To the victors belong the spoils." The old rale, the true rule, that honesty, capacity and fidelity constitute the only real qualifications for offioe, and that thuets no other claim, gave nlaoa to the Idea that party eerviM wentobe chiefly considered. All patttea have adopted thto system. It baa been

esssntlally modifi

ed since ita first Introduction. It haa not, however, been improved. At first, tbe President, either directly or through the heads of departments, made all the appointmenta out gradually the appointing power, la many cases, passed into the control of members of Congress. The offices in thess cases have become, not merely rewards for party services, but rewards for services to party leadeta. This system destroys the Independence of the separata departments of

the government. It tends directly to extravaganoe and official inoanwnty. It la a temptation to dlahoneaty. It hinders and impairs that earaftilaopervtalon and strict accountability by which, alone, fhithful and efficient public service can be secured. It obstruct* tbe prompt removal and sure punishment of the unworthy. In every way it degrades the civil service ana the character of tbe

overnment. It la felt, I am confident, a large majority of tbe members of Congress to bean intolerable burden, an unwarrantable hindrance to the proper diacharge of their legitimate duties. It ought to be abolished. The reform should be thorough, radical and complete. We should return to the principles and practice Of the foundera of tbe government, supplying by legislation, when needed, that which was formerly established by custom. They neither expected nor desired from the public officer any partisan service. They meant that public ofHoera should owe Ihdlr whole service to tbe government and to the people. Tbey mean that the officer should be secure in his tenure as long as his personal character romained untarnished and the performance of his duties satisfactory. If elected, I shall conduct tbe administration of tbe government upon these principles, and all constitutional powers vested in tho executive will be employed to eatabllsh this reform. ,.

The declaration of, princTplea by the Cincinnati convention makes no announcement In favor of a alngle presidential term. I do not a&ume to add to that declaration but believing that the restoration of tbe olvil service to the system established by Washington, and followed by the early Presidents,.can be best accomplished by an executive who is under no temptation to use tho patronage of his office to promote his own re-election, I desire to perform what I regarded as a duty in stating now, my inflexible purpose, if elected, not to be a candidate tor election to a second term.

On the currency question I have frequently expressed my views In public, and I stand by my record on this subject. I regard all tne laws of the United States relating to the payment of the public Indebtedness, the legal-tender notes Included, as constituting a pledge and moral obligation of the government which must in good faith be kept. It is my conviction that the feeling of uncertainty inseparable from an irredeemable papor currency, with its fluctuations of values, is one of the great obstacles to a revival of confidence and business, and to a return to prosperity. That uncertainty can be ended but in one way—the resumption of specie payments. But the longer the instability connected with our present monetary system is permitted to continue, the greater will be the iqjury inflicted upon our economical interests and all classes of society. If elected, I shall approve every appropriate measure to accomplish tbe desired end, and shall oppose any step backward.

The resolution with respect to the public school system Is one which should receive the hearty support of the American people. Agitation upon this subject is to be apprehended until, by constitutional amendment, the schools are placed beyond all danger of sectarian control or Interference. The Republican party Is pledged to secure such an amendment.*'

QUAKER WARFARE.'

The Chicago Saturday Evening Herald, ordinarily a very pacifically disposed newspaper, gets thoroughly exasperated over the late news from tbe Northwest and speaks out In meeting in this forcible style:

And now we sincerely hope the people have bad enough of the so-called "peace policy" with these fiennds incarnate. Preach and squirm as we msy. the responsibility for this butchery, and for scores of others, lies with the government and people of the United States. For years psst the government has been supplying these devils with the most

for them when they could not or woul not do so themselves, treating with them as independent peoples, buying land from tbem when in feet they have no more title to a foot of ground than the grizzlies, who do not equal tbem In ferocity, sending preachers and peace commissioners to pray and negotiate with those to whom prayer Is a mockery and negotiation a facility for treachery and now we reap the fruit of it all. What sense Is there in argnlng lit the Greek language with a man who not only does not know that ever the Greeks existed, bnt who Is also In total ignorance or the nature or existence of argument? Nearly four hundred years of experience of the North American Indian—experience with but a few Individual exceptions—ought to prove that the very first article of their theory of life is treachery—that a sting of conscience, as civilised men feel It, Is unknown to and uncomnrehended by tbem—that fraua and lying and every species of deception are tbe antecedenta of all their fighting, and more than fiendish crueltv and torture and mutilation Its consequents— thst every peace with them la hollow and lasts but till they gain strength and opportunity to violate it— that tney know nothing whatever of the sentiments of honor, or chivalry, or charity,or common honesty—in snort they are removed but one degree— and that through superior cunning— ftom wild beasts, and nave never, as a raoe, ahown any considerable capacity for civilization, or any appreciation of anything whatever but foroe and cunning.

Tne only argument of convincing potency to the Indian mind la forced-di-rect, unflinching, crushing foroe. All alse, of negotiation and treaty aud preaching and praying, la to him the sheerest and emptieat hoeh and hu mbug, aud.a aeoade of such practloe only gives him rest and gathered strength and vanom fbr a new assault on what must be the conquering civilization. The only tolution or the slavery question was the sword, and though we shrank from It for years, It came at last, and terrible in proportion to Its delay. The only solution of the Indian qoeetlon Is war, and war to practical extermination. The talk about the barbarism and cruelty of such a policy la mere empty cant. Ia It not barbariaaa that la to be conquered, and haa it ever been conquered by any weapon Itoould not feel? Qan you shape an Iron bar with a wooden mallet? And suppose such a policy bademmadopted ^c^doutevim ten years ago. would all ita aggregated cruwttse—to the Indian—have outweighed the devilish atrocities that have occurred ainoe? Shall we wait till another veneration or two have been murdered by Inches, mad another generation or two of IndianalMye been born to be exterminated? Will that be mercv? It must infallibly come to this si last. Tbe two Items of Ufa are utterly tneomnatlble with each other. One of them most lnevitjd»iy ir»

DBA WINQ JN THE SCHOOLS. It was with sincere regret that we heard the other dsy that the Board of Education had determined to abolish tbe course of instruction In drawing In tbe public schoola. We think this a mistake on tbe part Of the Board, and earnestly hope they will reconaider the matter. If it la necessary to save tbe small amount of money which It has heretofore ooet annually, for pity's sake take It off of something else which we can better afford to do without. Drawing waa introduced into the schools in 1871. The oourse included two departs menta. Tbe first waa taught in the first five grades of the schools. The second —a special oourso—was dealgned for these pupile of the upper grades,including the High School, who desired to take lessons. Instruction In the latter course has been given on Saturdays by special teachers at a oost |300 per annum. In- our opinion no money has been spent, more judiciously than this. We would be glad, and we ar* certain that we are not alone in this feeling, If it ooUld be continued. As to the utility of this branch of instruction we quote tho following from Professor Wiley's last annual report:

It Is still sometimes asked, 'what is the use of drawing? I will answer the question as folly as space will permit. The regular work in tbe schools will enable tbe pupils to secure better results in penmanship and map drawing. It will train their eyes and hands to do better work in many respects. They will be ready to judge-of the correctness of many varieties or work in after life. It will give, them better wages as mechanics. If will give finish to their education. The Saturday class will furnish those who have special taste and rare ubllltlesln that direction, an opportunity to cultivate the same. These pupils will be enabled thereby to °dd to the amount of skilled labor in the community. It will pay this people to perpetuate this branch of education in the school system. It will pay any community to do so. Drawing is the universal language. All classes of people understand the language of a picture. The day is fast approaching when this subject will be lully appreciated throughout this country. The authorities and law makers are moving in the matter. The Superintendent of Public instruction of Indiana in his last report has tbe following on this subject. "There are two great reasons why drawing should be taught In our publio schools: first, because of Its practical value to every child In point of culture and general usefulness secondly, on acoount of Its Intimate relations to technical education, to manufacturing, and, indeed, to all pursuits. Either of these two reasons is of sufficient importance to command the attention of tljose who seek to promote the intelligence and happiness of our peopler or the greater prosperity of our State in the development of her industrial in teres to."

He hasttly closed the door and locked It, and then calling a policeman, found two men in the cars and arrested them.

A VERY large and very brilliant meteor seemed to start out of the Zenith on Saturday evening, and take deliberate aim 'for Maxville. It illuminated Uie heavens and the earth with a glare that lasted some minutes after the meteor disappeared. It disappeared without exploding. Its size and brightness excited every one and furnished food for marveling comments to the people on the streets and front porches. And this reminds us that Professor Proctor says that forty-six millions of these meteors fall to the earth every year, and that If one In a thousand struck a man the world would soon be depopulated. But tbe velocity and Intense heat of these bodies operate to reduce them to a powder, in which condition they descend in showers of dust, molesting no one, and making none afraid.

AwrthT a year ago a woman by the name of Phoebe Reed left ber child, then about three months old,. with a family in Marshall, Ilia., making arrangements with them to take care of it while ahe went to Auburn to work. Upon her return to Marshall she found the family with whom the child had been left had removed from the town and nobody was able to tell her whither they had gone. Monday, being in this city, she accidentally camo across ber child, near the river, and of course was overjoyed to find It. But ppon attempting to take possession of it, she was informed that there was a bill which must be settled for Its malntai nance during the time it bad been in its present charge, before it would be given up. The mother had no money, and appealed to the law for assistance. A constable, armed with a warrant, accompanied her to tbe Swagerty residence where after considerable negotiating an agreement^ was arrived at by which the infant was restorod to its mother. What she will, do with it or where she will go, are questions which she herself could not, probably, answer, and which she certainly did not stop to consider. She was too hsppy in the recovory of her child to think at that time of anything
