But it ean scarcely be said to be opened yet for the grain trade, though the breaking up of fev in tho Stratis has been the prac- tical opening of the season In past years, ‘The Erle Canals are not yet, open, and will senreely bo open before tho end of this month, so that grain leaving this city now for the seaboard would have to Me In Buffalo, paying — storage there under the ‘ordinary charter terms by which vessels disehargo cargo ine mediately on arrival, It Isthought by vessel- men that, with a continuance of fine weather, ihe first clenrances of grain from this port will be made about the 20th Inst., nud the Insurance agents will scarcely care to assume risks before that time. .

Cullon uames and the State supports 1 monn for tho oxpress purpose of protecting the animals agninatthe unnecessary crucltles of the butchery, and that this person hasbeen In the hablt of drawing his pay and closing his eyes to the flendish prnetices that have become habitual, In‘ a single day ‘tun ‘Tutwnune's. reporter saw cnough horrors to sleken the heart of tha most obturats man, and to fll threa columns with an account thereof; yet this State Agent Ins not reported a single case of cruelty for proseeution under the law, nor would’ he have done so during his and Gov.

He should have vo further opportunity for neglecting his duty, but bo summarily dis- mlssed for an Indifference which 1s disgrace- ful to htinself and to the Administration which he represents. The animals have auf fered more, nga matter of faet, by reason of the existence of sucha State Agent than if there had been no such person; for, had tt not been supposed that the slaughterhouses were carefully watched, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals would have exercised vigilance of llsown. Cruelty is ayleo that grows by what It feeds on, and It Is too much to expect humane motives from practical butchers; but a man who ts paid and supported to be humane ought cer- tainly to afford the Indulgence ‘of an ocen- sonal protest ngninst excessive and needless torture, THE NEW INDIAN FPOLIOY. ‘Tho basts of settlement between the Goy- ernment and the Ute ludinns, brought about by Secrotary Schurz and Gen, Adanis, is an Important advance In the generat solution of the Indian trouble# ‘Lhe cession of the ter- ritory held by the Utes in Colorado and tho Agreement to deliver the Meeker assasins for punishment are local triumpha; but the now «lsposul of these tribes and the new terms upon which Jands and gratuities are ta be dealt out to them constitute. a departure from the old Indian policy which, if fol- Jowed up in future dealings with hostile or troublesonie Indians, will do more to civilize the red savages than any expedients hereto- foro used by the Government, ‘Tho flrat notable advantage of the new agreement with the Utes fs a division of the nation into Uiree parts, which are to be to- eated in varlous and remote districts, ‘The Southorn Utes are to go to New Mexico, the White River Utes to Utuh, and the Uncom- pahgre Utes to a reservation In the Grand River Valley. The result of this division will. be nut merely to Impalr the warlike strength of the Ute nation, but also to mitigate thelr warlike disposition. Who 10,000 or 1%, Sndians five together {n common, the sentiment of nattonailty is cultivated, and the young bucks, fired by the lnshings of the elder Chiefs, persuade them. selves by emulation In deeds of valor thut they are able to cope with uny. othor nation, even that of the United States, Isut an Ln dian nation, troken. up Into three parts seve erally cutoff trom intercommunteation, will Jose the national pride and warlike contldence Mt forworly cherished, and the Chiefs will be elu to encourage peaceful pursuits rather than a love for war, In the new and sepa rate reservations, the Utes, already advanced. toa considerable extent in clvilized ways, will nat huve the same temptation to roam, and hunt, and fight, and the waredlanee will gradually give way to inure peaceful amuse monte, : ui ‘Tho apportionment of the Innda In severalty and Jn feo will also develop among tho Ute Indiansa new ambition of Individual owner ship and family emulation, ‘They will cease to bo Communists, and they will transfer thelr pride, ambltton, aud energy from the tribe to the family. It will become apparent to the olter Chiefs that the best Interests of their offspring demand attention to ‘individtal Possessions, and to the young men that the improvement of thelr farms will lead to Brenter comfort and linppiness than the ox- ploring of hunting-grounds that are now al- most barren of game, The sentiment of tie dividual awnership, supplemented by a nat- ural desire for galn, fs a powerful element in civilization. It will be encouraged and de- veloped {nthe ease of the Ute Indtans by the future distribution of money among tho fam ilies themselves, who will thus acaifre an opportansty for individual diseretion and energy, ‘The Auglo-Saxon trait of competi tion will’ thus assert itself among the red men; something like society will-be formed in the pince of the rude trafile that ling heretofore. ruled, and mere primitive barter will bo supplanted by something Ike busl- ness nnd commerce. ‘The Indians need some of tho selfish. motives that govern white men in order to become civilized beings. These new conditions will furnish the Christian agents better opportunities for ex- erting the clyitizing influences of eduention, and at the simo tle furnish the Indians with a safer protection nguinst swindling tradets, ‘The arrangement with the Utes shoutd be the model for the future peace-policy of denl- ing with all thu Indian tribes. To make it altogether complete, practical, and effective, itshould be followed by conferring upon the Indians as rapidly as possible the rights of eltizenship., ‘The treatment of Tudtin tribes as foreign nations Is fictitious and irrational. As natives and “to tho manor born,” they have naturally as good a title to eltizenship ag any othor race of mien, When thoy shall bevome indlyidual land-owners, enjoying all tho properly rights guaranteed to white men under the law, their elvilization, pacification, and education can be best promoted by the prize of eltizenship, and the common interests of peace and harmony between’ the white men and the red men can be.best assured by making the latter amenable to the same Inws as the former,—endowing both with equal rights and exneting from both equal respon- sibilities, Tha hope of abiding peace with the Indians ctepends upon tho ultimate reall- zation of common citizenship. ‘Lhe agree~ ment made with the Utes Isa long step in this direction, Tt should be ratified by Con- gress, and backed up with such allotments and appropriations as will render the appli- cation of the same policy more general, and lvad_ ns quickly as possible to a recognition of the Indians ns Ameriean eftizens. ‘There Is no middle course butween this policy and extermination as a practical and ultimate solution of the Indian troubles, _—— ANOTHER EUROPEAN CONGRESS, It is sald that negotintions are In progress to convene another European Congress for settling certain vexed questions to which the Berlin Treaty has given rise. The time ts short slnco the united wisdom of Europe, at Berlin, pronounced the Eastern question pere manently arranged, but It has been suftelent to show thnt the trenty shnply payed tho way for, and lins been instrumental in_ producing, new and grave complications, which may re- open the subject of Eastern affairs at any moment. In faet, now that the natural re- sults of the treaty begin to be realized and more clearly understood, it is not unreason- able to belleve that its various requirements were framed by ane or moro master minds for tho vovert purpose of creating thodisorder mid fomenting the disturbance which were the Inevitable results of the mensures adopted at Berlin, : It is ‘seareely necessary to sny that Bla- marck directed and controlled tho negotin- tons. Without his assent none of the re- aturements of the treaty could have been adopted, Iv was the author of {ts most im- portant features,—although the representa tives of England, France, and Russin alded hilm by propositions which, as the sequel has shown, were well calculated to Increase the number of dificulties left as a legacy by the Congress, To Bismarck was dus the cession to Austria of Bosnia, Herzegovina, and Novi- Bazar, thus creating an antagonism much desired by hin between Russia and Austria, He also I responsible for the proposed rall- road connections between the latter and Servia and Roumanin, which Austria has of Inte so vehemently instated on, and which may ut any moment eause trouble.

It was In necor- dance with the wish of Prince Gortschnkoff that a small portion uf Northern Albania was ylelded to Montenegro, which, as the people fre of different raves and bitterly antago- ulstle, is already and will continue to be a fruitful source of bloodshed and daorder, ‘The first bt these questions to become prominent and reach such finportance as to demand the attention of Europe Is that of the boundary between Greece and Turkey. ‘he settlement of this has originated the propo- sition that a new Congress bo convened. ‘This ditticulty may bo noticed as a good illustration of the disturbances which the ‘Treaty of Berlin 1s lable tn future to cause, ‘Tho evldent.intention of the Turkish Goy- ernmont Is to do nothing to carry out the recommendation of tho Berlln Congress, It was easy to hava been foreseen that such would be the case, The Sultan, scolng hin self deprived of some of his richest prov- inces by the treaty, yery naturally objects to strip lilinself. further of hig possessions upon a simplo recommendation, It was to be expected that he woul oppose, by every: means in his power, any moasure Intended to venefit at his expense so dowply hated arace as the Greeks, Jio has therofore resorted te every pretext known to Turkish diplomacy, so fruitful In thls re spect, to postpone or thwart any territorial cession whateyerto Greceg, and the combiiued. action of the European Powers will be necus- sury to force him to carry out thelr sugges- tlon, unless they are willing to ave the united wish of Europe treated by the ‘Turks as a dead letter, Hiismarck has declared that no danger to the peace of Europe existed so long os tho requirements of the ‘Treaty of Berlin were loyally compiled with by the Powers con: cerned. Ho is undoubtedly the itbtter of the question, ant if war does at any thie occur tho viutatton of avis one of the terns of the treaty will bo alleged by hin as the eause, Although the proposed conferences to settle the questions growing out of the treaty are presimed to meet with his sangtion, yet he hus so far xiven no open approval of thom, ‘The Increase of the German army should not be taken 46 am evidence that he ut this the desires any other than a pnelfio solytion of thesa questlons, nor shold It be considered as 4 wicnace at present against any’ European Power, While the Berlin Congress was sitting $n 1878 he took especial paina to warn representatives of foreign Vowers in Borin of his intontion to inerease the German army, ‘The recent contradictory statements of bis reputed orgun, the North German Gazette, to which so much tm- portance has been attached, have probably no other significance Unon a desire on his part to Induce German publis opinion to consent to the inerease.

His ‘present mensure for the in- crease of the German army Is evidently in- tended as a preparation for the moment when this result may have been obtained, As yet the schemes which lio embodled In the Berlin Treaty are not ripe for execution, Some time ig still necessary before tho state of affairs for which he lins worked can exist, and we therefore feel justified in saying that whoover speculates In favor of an immediate, war in Continental Europe is liable to find himself gravely mistaken, 2 _——— MR, WASHBURNE AND THE PRESIDENCY, ‘The following letter of tho Hon.

WASIBURNE, ‘Tho above {fs 4 reiteration In writing of what Mr. Washburno has frequently de- claved verbally, and simply amounts to this: (1) Ie wants Grant nominated. (3) Le will not, under any elremmstances, be a candiyate against lim, But suppose Gon. Grant ts not a candidate, or shall before the Chicago Convention, or during that Convention, withdraw his name; in that caso Mr, Washburne fs os freo to sup- port any other candidate, and as {reo to be- come a candidate himself, as fs any other citi- zen of tho Republic. Tho effort. making to represent him as refusing the nomination, or refusing the use of his name in the Conven- tlun aga candidate for the nomination in caso Gon. Grant shall have withdrawn or other- wise ceased to be a candidate, is a gross in- Justice to Mr. Washburne, and is wholly‘un- warranted by the facts. Tho attempt to pnt him in this falso posl- tlon ty doing an Injustice to the friends of Gen. Grant, tho majority of whom, in caso Grant be ho longer & candidate, will un- doubtedly prefer Washburne to any of tho other gentlemen who have been named. We have no question that Gen. Grant himself, should he cease to ben candidate, will grently. rojolee if the Convention shall nominate his old friend and supporter Washburne, ‘Yo represent that Mr, Washburne will not perinit Ils name to be used in the Conven- Hon, in ense that of Gon, Grant fs withdrawn, {s torepresent that his frlendship and his ad- imtration for Grant will be transferred. to Blalne, or Conkilng, or Sherman, or Ed- munds, ‘That this is not true is shown by is letter, In which he declares that he {s “ for Grant first, Ingt, and all the the.” But Grant no longer a candidate will so change tho situation of affairs that Mr, Washburne Will not be at Mberty to refuse the full por- misston for the use of his name in the Con- ventlon for the nomination. It ls not at all certain that Gen, Grant will permit his name to bo used In the Conven- tion nga candidate, When he returns to this country from Mexico and discovers that among the Republicans of several States there is such an overwhelming objection toa third term for any man that-whole delegu- tions huye been electad directly by the peo- plo to vote against a third term; that In the great Republican State'of Pennsylvania a Jarge body of the delegutes Instructed to op- pose a third term have been, by tho skillful manipulations of the “machine, commanded to vote for him; aud that In New York a largo body of tha dulogates, instructed by thelr constituents to vote against a ‘third term, have been ordered by a bare majority’ of a State Convention to vote for lim, he will, In all probabtilty, with his strong good sense, Ulscover that the so-called Grant delg- Bates from those States do not represent the popular senliment with that unautinity with: out which the nomination would not be honorable ta himself to accept or expedient for the party to make, " When Gen, Grant returns and becomes :ne- quaiuted: with this deop-rooted, and wide- spread hostillty to d Presidential thint term, and the means by which whole delegations have been coerced to vote for him, it fs more thun probable he will decline o candidacy whieh lacks that popular support which along seul Suduce ht to be @ candidate fora third TI. i Under these clroumstances, should he re fuse the further use of his namo aso canil- date, It would: bo absurd to say that Mr, Washiburne, like all other persons, will not ‘be released from the support of Gen. Grant, and free to, make another choice, In that event, Ifany of the delegates in the Conven- tlon should prefer, after Grant's withdrawal, or after any other porson, Sr. Washburue us to establish their truth, They have bocumo their choico forthe nomination, he wit of course be ns free to necept thelr support and thoir nomination as le would be if Gen. Qrant had never been named for a third tern of the office. Con Honent B, Dora.as, sou of tho Inte Stephen A.

Who supposes that the poor, thufd, Ignorant negroes are going to inter- fore successfully with the forcordained count of. the Confederates? It will cost the Denio- crats less effort to carry tho entire sixteen Southern States than it will to save Indiana alone from falling Into the hands of the Re- publicans. The South is “solid? for the nominee of the Cincinnati Convention, it matters not whom he may be. ‘That much may bo set down ascertain. Force, fraud, shotgun, possession, and organization have done their work in the South, and the blacks nro wiped out asa political factor. Tho Re- publicans must elect their candidate by Northern votes alone; all talk to the con- trary iy tdle and nonsensteal, So far ns ear- rylng Southern States Is concerned, one Re publican candidate is just as goodas another.

Our correspondent writes upon the nssump- tion thnt It has been the custom of ‘fin Trin ‘UNE for several years past to spenk of Senator Blaine in a manner calculated to disparage bin aga candidate for tho Prestdoncy. Tho orror in this unfounded nasumption has led him into further mistakes concerning the course of THE ‘TutnuNE in the present discussion of the relative merits of various genticmen named as candl- dates for tho Progldenoy {11 1880. In 1876 the efrcumstances preeeding the nom{- nutlon of the candldates wero yery pecullar, and suchas had not been encountered bofore by tho Republican party. The exposurcs, dur- ing tho previous two yeurs of Graut’s Adminis- tration, of fruuds and official dishonesty, bad startled tho whole country. Tho immense ox- tent of the whisky-frauds; tho Inrgo number of offulals engaged or conniving In the plunder of the Sronsury; the whulesilo sywind- Mng of the revenue; tha hardly loa extensive frnuda successfully porpotrated in tha Now Yorke and othor Custom-Houses; the long Ust of abuses und oxtravugunces In the Nuvy Department; tho corruptions in tho Indian and Ponsion Bureaus; the charges uguinst tho Post- Oliico Department; tho wuste of publio monoy and Inurense of approprintions; the scandalous rovelitions that involyed soveral Cabinet-Min- isters; the log, deflant, and seandalous abusca and plundering of Washington by Boss Shepherd and others reputed to be under Administration protection,-bad alarmed the ontire country, Tho public mind was grontly excited, During tho two years preceding, the Republican party had been disustrously defeated In many Repub can States. The Stato Governments in more thun half the Northorn States bad beon scoured by the Demucrats. Tho enormous Itepublican majority: in the Honse ‘of Represonta- tives bad beon reversed, and that in tho Sonntu greatly reduced. All but one or two Bouthorn States bad passed Into the complete control of the Confederates, Lhe Demvcratio party, rightly estimating publle opinfon, had mado “Roforin” of tho Civil Administration of the Goverument its rallying cry, and thochunges Wore eonstantly and everywhere rung upon the Past frauds and mulfensunces, and thu necessity for such *ioform." This was the condition of things at tho time tho Cluclnnat! Conyention met, in June, 1876. Just preceding that Convention tho rivals and opponunts of tr, Bialne In the Republican party, assaliod bin moat vigorously, The friends of Conkling, Morton, and other candidates accused hin of 9 varity of acts, and published reams of |’ what thoy subiilttod us comfirmatory evidence, ‘These acta, if truo, tended to exclude all hope of a reform In the character of the mon who wero Jn charge of public atfairs, For tho (ime theaa Accusations succeeded in smirchiug the charac tor of, or throwing dlistrugt upon, Mr. Blaine, to tho extent of Inducing bundreds of thousands of Republicans to oxpresa an unwilliagucss to risk or avcupt bitn us uw candidate.

Under these clroumstances Tne Trivune, which owed un alleginnes to the country and to tho Republican party vory muob greater than it owed to any individual, considered It inadvisable to nominate Mr. Blaine. His enemies (rivuls in tho Hepublican party) had done thulr work toa woll, Thoy had succeeded so far in identifying bin with nabecoming trunsactions as to render lily defout in a struggle with a party ory ing “Keform" and Purification” in the Administration of the Goyernment nly most on certainty, It presented —theao views strongly, uot from any hostility to Sr, Blaine, but because the sucecss of the party dopended upon the unquestioned purity of rvc- ord uf tho candidate whe should bo selected aa Ita standard-bearer In tho great strugyle, It Tevommended Gon, Bristow, who had ua Sucre- tury of tho Treasury been consplouous in breuk- Ing up the poworful and widespread Whisky tings and othor frauds ujfon tho public revenue. ‘The Convention, in tho end, accepted the Judy went of the country for Reform, and nom{nated man With 4 record, publio and private, entirely pure and unblemished, » The charges mado by Mr. Hlulno’s rivals and enomlos were never substantiated.
