Mr. Henderson informed us yesterday in the Senate that our Indian war was now costing about one hundred and fifty thousand dollars por day, and that if it lasts all eummer it will probably cost one hundred million dollars. We can go in‘o a Lit ly surer calculation than that of Mr. Hen !erson. There are now eleven prominent tribes In open hostility to the government Tiese number seventy-cight thousand, among whom ‘here are about sixteen thousand warriors, none of whom have grad- uated at e'ther a government or private mili tary institu'e. They occupy the whole vast centro of North America, and range from Mexico to the British American possessions. There was once -a State callod Florida, which contained a Mr. Bowlegs and fire bundred red- skins. Three sides of the litle peningu!a were surrounded by water. It cost the United States forty m Ilions of dollars to drive Mr. Bowlegs from his farm. The problem, thea, is, if It cost forty millions to drive Mr. Bowlegs and five bun lred men out of a corner by United States trctics, what w-ll it cost to drive six!oen thou- sand devils into a corner by the same tactics? Obviousiy far more than the proportion indi- cates, which is one thousand two bunired and eighty million doll irs—a small amount, which, in the present recklessness of Congress in dis- posing of the public funds, is of litle moment; and, the Indians once cornered, we can have the ple sure of whipping them out again at tho same price. Lively work for the regular army; and we doubt if, with the magni‘ude of the job, General Shorman will be able to make his pil- grimage to Mocca this year. Troops, Indian agnts, the War Department pulling against the Indian Bureau, contractors and twelve hundred and eighty million dollars are the necessitivs for an Indian turmoil. Give Gencral Sherman the management of all these elements and he will soon des!roy Indian prestige and cause them to respect the troops uoder bis commind. Money enough; that is all that is required—money ! Indian tactics against the regular army! What impudence! These calico-clad, nimble- footed, light-armed, enduring sons of the forest daring to make war onus! Mounted, too, as they are, on hardy little horses, which can march sixty miles per day for days together! The boldness of these miserable savages in throwing down the gauntlet to modern troops, armed with heavy Springfield muskets, carrying on their shonl- ders enormous knapsacks, well filled with everything that civilization can give to make a soldier contented! The cavalry carrying a heavy man, a woigbty saddle, and all that at the end of an eighteen mile march can make a horse hungry ; splendid baggage trains, with home comforts, for man and beast! All this in command of our brass decorated gentlemen, who have been well educated by the nation ia whatever can mako the system of modern warfare a terror to the savage. Indian tactics against this! It is absurd. Let us support the efforts of General Sherman, who is destined to win new laurels on the great inland Plains. Give him money and men ; these are all that he requires ; he will soon finish with the Indian pest. There is a certain idea existing that those Territories and States that are on our Indian border can raise troops of a peculiar clues, who are flited to fight Indians after the Indian fashion. Several of the Governors ot those districts have made application for the privi- lege of raising volunteer forces, which they foolishly believe can soon close up the Indian troubles. They, full of false arguments, are bold enough to say that men who havo wrongs to avenge, and who are willing to fight as In- dians fight, are better capable of entering upon and carrying forward an effective campaign than the reguler troops that represent the dig- nity of the nation. A proper rebuke has already been given to them by incorporating the volunteer furce of frontiersmen into the regular force, and placing regular officers over them to direct their crade movements. There is no doubt that General Sherman has done well in this case, and will thus allay many of the jealousies which might arise were any such desultory body to show itself capable of fighting Indians as some people think thoy should be fought. Let us, by all means, sup- port General Sherman ; he will carry on our Indian war as it should be carried on; his swift troopers will soon restore peace on the Plains, All that is required is money; that will bring everything in its train, and we shall make as glorious an exit from the Indian war as we bave made from the war of the rebellion. Menarchy and Arletecracy Sentenced in England. During « debate on reform ia tho British House of Commons on the 5th of July a nice little passage of arms took place between Lord Cranbourne, lately a momber of Lord Derby's government, and Mr. Disraeli. Lord Cranbourne declared that the ‘“monarchical principle, practically speaking, was dead,” and that the “aristocratic principle was now being sentenced to death.” Mr. Disracli of course denied the truth of the honorable Lord's statement, The denial of Mr. Disracli not- withstanding, there are many who think that Lord Cranbourne is right The cnrious thing is thatthe man who combines in his own per. son the character of judge and exccutioner is the idol of his victims. Of all the wonderful Jews who ever lived Benjamin Disraeli is in many respects the most wonderful, So agreen- bie is his guidance that it matters not to the aristocracy of England whither they aro led, af only Disraeli legds them. The words of the poet have seldom had a more fitting applica- tions=~" Facilig descensus Averni.” NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, JULY 19, Europe and Mexico—What ie Our Kespon- sibility & The blow which monarchy siruck at republ!- eonism in the New World has had a terrible rebound in Europe. Various opinions which we published yesterday, and which were drawn out in the leading European journals at the re- ceipt of the news of the death of Maximilian, indicate an intense excitement, In that same spirit of retaliation which they oondema in a peop'e driven to exasperation by the dosola- tion of a five yeara’ invasion they now call upon the United States to interfere in Moxican affairs and carry on the bloody work that we would not permit France to finish. Europe forgets that in this appeal to the great republic sho pays the noblest tribute to the force of liberal ideas that she ever yet gave. She for- gets, too, that she appeals to us to murd-ra republic in retaliation for the death of a man. The question of whether we will be generous to a nationality which is straggling into light, or whether we will be generous to the monar- chical clement that always denied that peoplo light, is easily decided on the basis of rigid justice. The London Herald, in sperking of the doath of Maximilian, says, “Thirty milions of Amerioans and thirty-five millions of French- men must divile the blame, if blamo thre be, between them.” We, forsooth, must stp in and save the reputation of those who, ac- cord'ng to the Pall Mall Gazette of July 5, offer-d to us “One of the keenest humiliations and bit'erest insults ever inflicted upon the United States.” It should be well undorstood that in ordering Franoe to leave Mexico we were not interfering in Mexioan affairs; we were simply defending ourselves against tho avowed and well proven poiicy of Louis Na- poleon to make Mexico the basis of a mon- archical effort against the power of the United States and her progress, We boldly threat- ened war, and France complied with a demand which the voice of the whole nation forced our State Department to make, much against its well known policy and desires. This point gained, we had defended ourselves from the danger that assailed us; and however tardy we were in making France feel the just indignation of our people at the blow which was to disin- tegrate us, we still struck that blow entirely for our own preservation. But our action very wisely ceased there; for we had no pre- tence whatever for interference in the internal affairs of Mexico. Had we at once stepped across the border and assumed the direction of one or the other of the political parties that were waging war, it would have been an im- mediate assumption of the very position from which we had just forced France. It would have been in the eyes of Europe a reversion of our rule—non-interference in the internal affairs of other nations. If Maximilian chose to trust himself in Mexico after the departure of the French it was no affair of ours, and we were not bound to step in and save the head of a European prince who sunk himself to the level of a retrograde partisan chief, and headed a desperate sortie at Querétaro against the liberal principles of those who opposed him. If be showed a lack of intellect in gathering around him the worst charac- ters that Mexico ever produced—mon, according to the London Daily News, “whose ontrages and atrocities the original expedition of the three Powers was sent out to punish’—are we to be held responsi- ble? Aro we responsible if he was betrayed by men whom he knew were already guilty of treason, and in common with himself were fighting with their heads in a halter, according to the decree of the republic of January 25, 1862% We had no shadow of a right even to interfere to the extent we have, by sending the insulting message of Mr. Campbell, at the order of Mr. Seward, to the Mexican govern- ment. The question of how they would dis- pose of an adventurer who had made wild work in a five years’ desperate onslaught upon their soil was not a matter for us to decide, It rested with the Mexican people themselves, We rid ourselves of the danger that threatened us when we disposed of the French army; if at the same time we aided Mexico, all the better; for it was a friendly act due to a people who are sustaining with us a common principle; but we cannot deny that they also had a perfect right, in the preservation of their nationality, to rid themselves of whatever danger threatened them. To dispute this is to dispute their right to do what we do. Several of the leading English journals take a very sensible view of the case, and analyze the expedition and its results with a clear im- partiality. On the Continent, however, all is the opposite, and we receive much vituperation for not picking up the Mexican intervention where France loft it. If there be a hope in Ecrope that we are to solve the Mexican prob- lem for them, they are doomed to disappoint- ment. We have a question of our own on hand which already strains our energies. We believe, moreover, that Mexico should have a trial of her liberal form of government, which she has at length succeeded in imposing upon the country in the face of the greatest diff- cultics that ever environed the prozress of liberal principles. Civilized nations bave stirred the fires of civil turmoil and all its at- tendant hatreds and desolation for the past five years within her border. They have stripped the country of everything that could enrich a palace at Miramar, destroy the financial credit of the country or create the future elements of internecine strife. They have done all this; but they have enriched the glorious liberal principles which, high above the retrograde party beaded by Maximilian, have floated upon the banners of the republic. Those principles we defend, and we defend them wherever they are to be found, whether under our own flag or under the green, white and red of Mexico. Barnum and Congress. Barnum is not satisfied with the result of the Connecticut election. His name and his ante- cedents were sufficient not only to secure his own rejection, but the rejection of the entire republican ticket in that State. Barnum, how- ever, is not satisfied. He questions the validity of the election of his namesake and opponent. The case is now before the proper committee of Congress. If the other Barnum is ejected, P. T. goes in. This is the showman’s last dodge. We do not know what may be the result. Considering the composition of the present Congress it would be absurd to suppose that P, T. is without friends in that illustrious assembly, Considering, too, that they have been laboring so hard to accomplish something aod bave been go successful in accomplishing 2867. nothing, it would not be surprising if 1°7 | eitempted to extract oag of this Barnum bush’, ness the enviable notoriety wuich they havo vainly sought to ex‘ract out of the impeach mont of tho President, Considering as well that the other Barnum is a gentlemsn and rather indifferent to Congressional honors, an1 taking into account the skill, cunning and strange experience of the author and proprie- tor of tho woolly hores, the Fe:jee mermaid, Joyce Heth, &c., &o., P. T.may ye’, wheth t the cute inaabitants of the Nutmeg Siate will or will not, grace the balls of tho national Logisla'ure as ono of thelr reprosentatives. It is, af.or all, a question—this new dodge of the echowman—in which the honor of Connecti- cut is deeply at stake. By rejecting the showman Barnum and all bis associates Con- neoticut not on!y did herself lasting honor, bat proved to America and to the world at largo that in one, at least, of the New England States a lingering remnant of virtue was to be found. Unless this last lingering remnant be gone we s.all expect to find Conneotiout in- dignant because of this fresh insult at the hands of the rejected showman, If Con7ress open {ts doors to P. T. it will have the honor of doing what no Congress ever did before, and what no Congross is ever likely to do again. A Brace of Pungent ResoluttonsWhat do They Mean? A terriblo charge was made agalnat Presi- dent Jobuson in the resolution adopte! by the House of Represen‘atives on Wednesday lsat, deolaring thit “the doctrine avewed by the Pres‘dent of the United S.ates in Lis message to Congr°ss of the 15th instant, that the abro- gation of tie rebel Sia'es binds the nation to pay their debts inourred before the rebellion, is at war with tho principl:s of international law, a desperate stab at the nation’s credit, abhorrent to every sentiment of loyally, and we.! pleasing only to the vangnished trvitors, allies and sympathizers by wiose agenoy alone the governmnts of said Sates were overbrown and disohirge!.” To ndm't this proposition the rules were suspended, and the resolution was adopted—yoas 100, nays 18—a strict party vote, By this decisive vote of the popular branch .of Congress, whioh is especially invested with primary authority over the financial aff.irs of the nation, President Johnson, in his official capacity, is proclaimed to th» world as despe< rately attempting the over'hrow of the national credit in a proposition which is “abhorrent to every sentiment of loyal y,” and gratifying only to traitors and their political confederates. If this does not come within the category of those “high crimes and mislemeanors” for which the President ought to be impeached and removed from office, we should like to know what does. But the House did not stop here. Mr. Covode, following in the wake of the for-going resolu‘ion, propose] the follow- ing in the course of the sam? day’s proccel- ings :—“ Whereas it is reported that Andrew Johnson, President of the United S'ates, did, on the 4th of July, 1867, at the request of the counsel of Join H. Surratt, cause to be issued to Stephen F, Cameron, of tho rebel army, and one of the most notorious violators of the laws of war, @ full pardon for all his crimes, in order that his credibility might be increased ns ® witness to aid in the exculpation of said Surratt fcom participation in the murder of Mr. Lincoln, thus showing sympathy with the men who murdered the President, ihorefore be it resolved, that the Judiciary Committee be instructed to examine into the foregoing charge and report the evidence to the Houso the first week of the next session, together with the evi- dence taken in the impeachment case;” which preamble and resolution were adopted, after some debate, without a division. Here is another accusation of the gravest character egainst Mr. Johnson, that of showing sympatay for the murderers of President Lin- coln to such an extent as to issue, in behalf of John H. Surratt, under trial as one of those murderers, a full pardon to s soldier of the rebel army and “one of the most notorious violators of the laws of war.” Mr. Covode said, too, that he had put this resolution in the mildest form, and that he could have made it much stronger. Again, being asked how he knew that Surratt was guilty of the murder of Mr. Lincoln, he answered that the testimony had settled that, Mr. Covode had no right thus to assume the authority of the judge and jury in this case or to anticipate or suggest the ver- dlct—but we are dealing with this resolution as & blow aimed at President Johnson. The two reaolutions have evidently the same object in view, the strengthening of the backbone of the Judiciary Committee, so as to draw from it such a report during the first week of the next ses- sion as will leave the House no alternative but an indictment to the Senate against Andrew Jobnson for certain “high crimes and misde- meanors” calling tor his removal from office. What will be the issue is another question; but, meantime, Mr. Johnson, substantially ac- cused by the House of Representatives as showing himself in an official message to Con- gress and in an official act of pardon to be a traitor and « sympathizer with traitors and murderers, is placed in very uvenviable position. How ishe to vindicate himself? Per- haps in his expected veto message he may, with the assistance of his Attorney General, explain away his late preposterous message on the lawiul debts of the rebel States; and per haps in a separate communication he may sub- mit a justification of his parion to the rebel Cameron, To remain silent under these ac- cusations will be widely regarded as equiva- lent toa plea of no defence. We await further developments. Congress and the Revenne Frauds, What is Congress going to do about the atu- pendous frauds on the Treasury in the Internal Revenue Department and in other ways? We have been wailing day after day, since the astounding developments were made public, for some action on the part of the national Legislature; but the representatives of the people are dumb on the subject. Even that portion of the press which united with us in exposing and denouncing the frauds has be- come silent all at once, The New York organ of tho Treasury Department, which pretended to make a great fuss about them, bas ceased to speak. Knowing these frauds were too pal- pable and too gigantic to be ignored, it mpoke of them, but evidently for the purp shielding the Secretary of the Tres, as much as possible. Why this silenc’ now all round, in Congress and the press? Nobody has attempted to deny—no one can deny— these monstrous wholesale rbberies of the public money, amounting to, bandreds of mil- ahd lions. Is this 9 small miter to be evadéa © . covered upt Is it posivle that Congress * golag to aijourn withou! probing such tright- ful mismanagement of th» Treasury Depari- ment and w-thout provilinga remedy? Is the Chase-McCullosh iufluences, backed by the national banks and swarms of office holders, so powerful as to prevent Congrass from doing its @n'y? Can the Treasu:y since the preas in a matter of such vast publio interest? If this be 80, we my look for still greator frauds and the bankruptcy of ths goverom:n'. Should Con- gress ajjourn without doing its duty with rezard to this mittor, it will surely be de- nounced by the poople. It will have to beara weight of reaponaivility that it cam never throw off, The Associated Prees Onblo News—At Sen. The agent of the Associsted Press has un- dortaken to report through the Atlantic cable the movements of tho men “who go down to the sea io ships.” He bas not yot, however, found bis “ses legs,” and blunders about in gresnhorn fashion. Yesterday morning he told us ina cabie telegram that the steamship Hecla, from New York, bai arrived in Queensiown harbor on & voyags to Liverpool, the Hecla being then lying ather dook at Jorssy Oty. This morn- ing an Associated Press despa'ch reports that the friends of an Irshman who was thrown from the sea on ths coast of Ireland were en- deavoring to get him out of jail, he having been plazed ia prison by the “Irish Guards.” The action of bis friends is quite natural, the Trish being a very affectionate race; but the “Trish Guards,” whoever they may bo, ap- poar to havo acted in a very ill-natured man- ner towards the wait from the ocoan. In anothor cable despatch the Associated Press reporter states that it is “estimated” in Southampton that the British naval review in honor of the Sultan of Turkey cost fifty thou- sand pounds aterling. This intelligence is qui'e valueless, and the assertion in bad taste. No es imate of the cost has, wo venture to say, been made. If England wishes to astonish the Sultan and make a splurge in the Solent, she is weil ablo to do it; but to stoop to count the cost “is not just the thing, you know.” Even if tho review did cost that amount, why the Crimean war, with its naval and military dis- plays, cost immeasurably more, and all in honor of the Sultan. Tho Associated Press agent ought to be more accurat) ani genteel. Foumvsrers og Reszis.—It is said that the organization of so-called “avengers,” osten- sibly to invade Mexico, is merely a cover for @ reorganization of tho fighting men of the re- bollion, with a view to « new attempt for South- ern independence. It is more likely that this discovery is a mxgnificent mar2’a nost.
