Tilden's mossags is Mgood by Lis ‘‘military socretary,” and tho Indiauapolis Journal wants to know if -this s not & token of rawpant Cioonricm, Tho Repubtican Stato Convention in Conneell- out {o to 1oect tho last of this month or the firat of noxt, to nominate candidatos for the April sloction. The party wanis time for & good fight. Bonator Morton's organ in Indinnapolis has no sacond choice for the Presidoucy. It ia for Mor- ton, firat, last, and all tho time, But it wiil aup- port tho nominse af the party, whoover ho may bo. . Gov. Tilden's mosaago to tha Now York Lepfa- Iature waa too long, filling nearly ten columns of an ordinary nowspaper. It Is n mattor for grave conjocture hiow loug n mossage Lo would writa if he should bo electod Presidont, If it comes to a reduction of salarics, why loosn't tho Demacratio Congress bogin st homo ? ‘Thero 1a not & Professor at West Point whose | \ 1 a0rvicos aro not worth moro to tho conntre than * thoso of tho avorage Domoctatic Congrassman, Mr. Norman Wiard's explanations of his vari- | ous zolations to Gen.

Tho Presbylerian Banner, of Pittsburg, nays suat, if the Republican party agrees to the taza- tion of church property, it will bo buriod under *‘an avalancho hottor aud beevier than over rolled into the Alpine Valloy.” Tho Ropublican party will not be iu warm quarters when that “hot™ Alpine avalanche rushiea down upon it. Gen. Behonck was allowed to amploy an oxtra amanuensls bocauso his own right arm was crippled by a riflo-ball while ho was sorving his sountry in the Union army. Now the Demo- eratlo Congross proposes to eave the country by cutting off the salary of tho amonuonsie, If Qen. Bebenck had sorvod in tho Confodorato army bis swound would have beon, from a Demo- aratio standpolnt, honorablo. ' Now that Lamar haa virtually boon promotod to the Benato by the Demoorats of Mississippi, 4t in & question what will become of - that admir- able Pacific Railroad Committee in tho Lower Ilouso. By tho way, it 18 consldored not jm- probable that a debate may spring up in tho Son- ate when Mr. Lamar presenta his credentials, sad Sonator Morton's motion for a committeo to Investigato tho logality of tha election will fin- mediately come to tho surface, BMr. George W. Cartis has boen asked point- blank by tho New.York Times wlethor Harper's Weekly would support Gen. Grant for a third torm if ho should bo nominatod by tho National Ropublican Convention. Mr. Curtis may not bs in o position to answer for Harper'a Weekly, but ho will undonbtodly make a proper reply for him- eclt, {f tho remote and improbable contingoney should evor ariso. Till then, questionings and cross-quentionings of this nature are aimply puerile. Tho more cautious of the Democratio jour- anls oro frank enough to admit that thelr party has by no means o certaln jrospect of victory noxt yoar. Thus the Louisvillo Courfer-Journal saya: “To sum up the mituation in o fow words, it is roverso from the fair ontlook of this day twolve moutbs sgo, nnd can be only im- proved by tho Democrats themselvos, who neod togo back to their principles and traditions, puttiog o hord-monvy, freo-trado, and Lome- rule candidato upon a Lard-monoy, home-rule, and freo-trade platform.

Wisutsoroy, D. 0., Jan. .—Tha communics- t1on recoived by thoSonate Comumitteo on the Re- organization of tho Civil Service for the Intorior Departmont, in answer to questions from tho Committen as to tho viewn of the Department in rogatd to turning over the Iudiav Buroau to the War Dopartment, was prepared by ex-Come missioner Smith, It tases very positive ground agawmst the transfor except in tho caso of wild and thoroughly hostle tribes. It quotes tho opinlou of thoe Indian Peacn Commiasion af 1668, thav if wo fotend to have posco the Burcsu ehould bo jn the Interior Department, but if wo iutend to have war it should be traneforred to tho War Dopartment. Ho i says at five-uixths of the Iudian Agencies no noldior js evor found or nooded; at half of the remaindar soldiers are ouly required to asast the Agent 1u arresting turbulont men ®0 tliat at oleven-twellths of the Indian Age: cias tho qnestion of putting them undec the con- trol of tho War Dopartment has no more porti- nency than that of putting alma-liouses and cily schools under the metropolitan police. Ho holds that the purposes said to bo accomplistied under the volicy of cisilization ara always greatly bindorod by tho presence and examplo of goldiors, aud that the firat lesson to bo given tho Indian—that of self-support by Iabor with bis own hands—is tho last lesson which a man in uniform toaches, and that tho jnovitablo deworahization, Intomperanco, and lewduecas which como to the resotvation from a company of soldiors makes it of tho highest conrequenco that the army shouid nave oy little to do with tho Indians as pousible. Then na to the wild tribes—uvless tho Idea of clvilizing thonn momo time ban beon entirely abandoved, he thinks it is bottor to continus them under the cou- trol of thoe civil* agents than to put them in charge of the military. He thinks, however, that the purchase of rupplies, clothing, and sube sistonce, and transportation might be piacod in the hands of tho armv.
