Derore successfully employed in favor of the Same man, who desired to be ‘counted in” a8 member of the State Legislature, and who was counted iu, though too late, perhaps, to Participate in the more splendid spoliations of the year. This last counting in has awakened, however, the indignation of the Germans of the Seventeenth, who want to know if they have any rights that Tammany is bound to respect. The Seventeenth is a Gibraltar of democraoy; but Tammany may need reflect whether she can afford to disgust its immense roll of German voters for such a small reason. Stopping Volunteer Indian Hants. It seems that the rumors of Indian wars on tho Plains have excited the prowess of the volunteer local militia in the vicinity of the threatened disiurbances, This is not unusual. The volunteers aro always ready to help in assisting a little Indian war—in keeping up the ery of ‘‘wolf’—and in running riot a litile over the Indian country. General Grant understands this little weakness of the harum- #carum volunteers, and sees the danger of let~ ting these “‘irregulars” run loose among the Indians. He has therefore sent peremptory orders to the military commanders in the West to prevent these volunteers from making war upon the roving red tribes, and to disband at once all organizations having any such inten- President Grant knows very well that it is just such movements, of which this is a prominent one, got up and fomented by panics, that lead to all our serious Indian troubles, and he very wisely has put a stop to the whole Two years ego we came near on the lands of Kansas reserva- tion, because of a little scuffle. between the Osages and some roving Sioux, who, not find- ing any buffalo on the prairie, took a faucy to tion. business. getting into a war the friendly Osage tribe by sending volunteers into in the some of the Osage horned cattle. For- tunately—for the volunteers—they did not If they had they reach the scene of the raid. would probably have come back quicker than they did. Irritation arising from expeditions of this character, added to the wily macbi- nations of Indian traders, agents, sutlers and contractors, does more to keep up the bad feeling of hostility between the nomadic tribes on the Plains and our settlers than any bad blood between the red man and the white man. The President has dons well in requiring that the volunteers should remain at home and cultivate their fields, leaving to the regularly @isciplined army the duty of repressing any ‘hostile movements on the part of the Indians. if the Qiakers or the “regulars” cannot keep the red man quiet what can a hastily gathered ‘militia from distant settlements be expected to do? They are at best crude in their organiza- tion, badly officered and are very apt to be rash in their dealings with the Indians. Far Gifferent is the case of the laborers on tho Pacific Railroad, who have refused to work another day unless they are provided with arms and ammunition to protect themselves against sudden assaults by bands of savages. These men are working upon an important public enterprise at the risk of their lives. ‘They should, therefore, be afforded by the government at least the means to protect themselves. They ask for no military force, but only that five hundred stand of arms shall be sent to Kit Carson station, for which the Kansas Pacific Railroad Company offer to be- This seems to be a fair come responsible. request, which General Pope, in the absence of General Sheridan, can hardly refuse to accede to, We publish to-day some interast- ing correspondence on this Indian question. One correspondent states that no general In- Gian policy can be adopted, because discrimi- mation must be exercised in dealing with the ‘different tribes. This is true, and the want of this very discrimination has been the cardinal ‘error in our whole Indian policy. Another correspondent suggests that the politicians in Congress can only be aroused to the impor- tance of the Indian question by the outbreak of a great war on the Plains, but this corre- spondent does not know that a war is precisely what the politicians want, and this is the secret which lies at the bottom of all this trouble. Contracts for bacon and biscuit and pugar, supplied to the reservations where peaceful Indians dwell, are not near so profita- le as contracts for guns aud gunpowder for the enemy, and army supplies when it is necessary to keep an army in the deld, and it is very easy to make it necessary by fomenting quar- els with the savages, as we see done every day. General Grant is resolved to bring this In- Gian difficulty to on issue. It will require some vigorous tactics to accomplish it. Extermina- tion is impossible. Some method to force the Indians upon reservations, and keep them there by a military cordon, must be adopted, and surely we hive plenty of eflicieat officers on the Plains to do this. The Gas Metre Deposit Swindle. Unfortunately for the people who had to change their residenca in this flowery month of May there is no law on the statute book prohibiting the gas companies from extorting ® deposit from every consumer, on the pretext of covering the expenses of the metre, upon moving from one bouse to another, and there- Yore these monopolies take advantage of their ¢ustomers to mulct each consumer of gas in the sum of five or ten dollars, at their option. This is called a ‘‘deposit,” but it is in fact » legalized larceny, and partaking, too, some- what of the hizhway robbery flavor. Tie demand of the gas company means ‘‘Your money or your light!” Every time a man moves he has to pay a deposit, What becomes of this money? What return does the con- sumer get for it? The gas company assures you that you can get it back, with interest, when you cease to burn gas. Who is going to cease burning gas in this age of civilization? We could state cases of several compa- nies in which this fraud is most glaring. Take the Citizens’ Gas Light Company, of Brooklyn, for instance, with which people were bamboozled to deal on the representations of economy, anti-monopoly and so forth, This company insists upon the pay- mont of ten dollars when a consumer changes his residence, even when there is a metre in the house and not a dollar has to be expended by the company. There is nothing involved but changing the account from one house to another. The companies need no protection, for they take good care that the cas bills are high .enough to cover expenses and leave nearly's hundred per cent profit, the oonve- nient little metre being hocus-pocused every month with that view. The Williamsburg Gas Light Company, with a show of being honest, domand no deposit, but they “fx” the metre, at a cost, probably, of an hour's pay to the mechanic—a two-dollar job at most—for which they charge the consumer seven dollars. Cases of this character could be multiplied ; but a hundred such facts are known to the gas consumers of New York and Brooklyn. We heard a good deal about gas. bills which were to correct all these grievances in the Le- gislature last year and the year before, but they came to no fruition, There was not backbone enough in the advocates to carry them through. And so the gas companies still run riot among their unfortunate customers and swindle them right and left by wholesale and in detail. We hope that something will be done at Albany next winter to put a check upon these abomi- nable monopolies and bring them to some sense of justice by the most stringent law that can be enacted, Leading Public Questions, in Grent Britain. The British Parliament always gets into a sort of fever when the summer sun begins to shine, The fever of the year 1870 is just now beginning to be felt. What an amount of work Parliament has on its hands! Not to speak of Greek brigands, of Red River insur- gents, of New Zealand complaints and of eer- tain defunct bills, how Jarge is the number of important Parliamentary questions at present on hand and loudly demanding solution ! There is, first and most prominent, the Irish Land bill, which moves on with a apeed that reminds us of the tortoise. Then there is the University Tests bill, which the indefatigable Sir John Coleridge seems determined to pass into law, but which threatens to tax his powers as well as exhaust his life energies. Then, again, there is the No Popery question, with the famous Newdegate pushing it for- ward, Thanks or the opposite to Mr. Newde- gate, a committee is now sitting on monastic institutions. What Mr. Newdegate wishes done or what Parliament means to do is not very apparent. Then, again, the women are troubling Mr. Gladstone. They have asked the franchise, but that has been refused. They have again asked to be allowed to marry the hus- band of a deceased sister; but that, too, from our news of yesterday, seems to be knocked onthe head. Then, too, there Is the Educa- tion bill, which moves on slowly, slowly, At the same time the commercial treatics with France occupy whole sittings of the Commons. Certainly Mr. Gladstone has enough work on his hand. If he does not get this Irish Land bill through quickly there is some reason to fear that ‘Lothair” will produce a reaction and restore the tories to power. Mr. Glad- stone has made tho mistake which man of enthusiastic temperament have often made be- fore him. He has attempted too much. Like the old man with his ass he has tried to please everybody, and it will not be wonderful if, like him, he succeeds in pleasing nobody, not even the Irish, to whom he has devoted two whole sessions of the imperial Parliament. The char- acter of the various questions, as well as their number, shows that Great Britain is in a state ot revolation. Tur Rep Rivex Distvrpanogs.—Affairs in the Red River country have agaia assumed a threatening aspect. The adjustment of diffi- culties recently effected by the Canadian Par- liament, although substantially upon terms dictated by the insurgents themselves, is not likely to be permanent, and Riel continues his efforts to secure entire separation from the Dominion of Canada, An accredited agent of Riel’s arrived in Chicago yesterday to consuli with General O'Neil and to urge him to inter- cept the British troops en route for Red River. The Chicago Fenians say that Colonel Smith, of California, is to meet General O'Neil on the border somewhere, with a thousand armed men, ready to make common cauée with Riel against the home government. Although this report is scarcely credible, still O'Neil can easily rally around him a large toree of hardy adventurers from the Western Plains and mountains who would be only too well pleased to make a summer campaign against the British forces in the Northwest.
