How Skulking Savages Appreciate Governmental Caressing, THE PEACE POLICY “PLAYED OUT” Federal Ideal Philanthropy vs. Murder and Rapine. MR. LOIMPUDENT AND CALLOUS The Present Reign of Terror in Texas, Arizona and the Northwest, SHERIDAN’S PROPOSED REMEDY. ‘Little Phil’s” Plan of Chastisoment the Only Correct One. LOUD CRIES FOR VENGEANCE. The Apaches of Arizona Heaping Up Fathomless Wrath. JACKSON, Miss., July 8, 1872, ‘The student of political economy has remedies, Mbly slipping from the ready tongue, for dis- ease which may injurionsly affect the well- of nation. In the case of a strong people supplant- ing on thelr own Soil a wenker and rader race, & Fomantic compassion extends the ideas of the se- Verely just economist. The monstrous orime of whites in gradually pushing back the Indjan— ossesains iim of his domali—his never been ;, ied for in the eyes of tea-table philanthropists $md the great gushing moral engines of reform by the really liberal reservations ofland and ample creature comforts set aside for the unhappy red Man by the. United States government The first requirement for our restless people is a free and safe circulation from one end of our broad country to the other, and, unhappily, to-day those who spy out tho land and herald the march of im- provement frequently pay for their enterprise the forfeit of life. The hardy settler on the frontier (some one must bo on the outside always) fs diverted from ‘his labor in the field to find his home in flames and his family massacred. The inviting prairies of the West lic unpeopled in a measure, for the ready knife too often avenges the encroachment on the patrimonial domaitt claimed by the skulking Bavagoe, who strikes no plough into the rich prairie bosom. It cannot be denied that, with a handsome territory set apart for the Indians exclusively, many fertile reservations cut out of valleys very dear to the farmer, the employment of two-thirds of our army and a yearly expenditure of millions, that the Indian is an. expensive, intractable and Testiess pauper. All the rights pertaining to the rst owners of the soil have been considered—nay, ven the last objection of the sentimental school has been catered to—and the redskin has had a falr chance to develop any latent capacity for the blessings of civiliza- tion. Every policy—individual, municipal and governmental—has been tried, and, from coolly making game of them to making them Hons at Washington, all expedients have had their day. Communities have offered scalp bounty; the crazed and wronged settler has haunted the track, merved to a terrible vengeance; from the earliest days rangers have preyed on them and regulars fought them, with varied success, while, within two wecks, fashionable New York has crowded a hall to hear RED-HANDED RED CLOUD “make a big talk.” Shaker and Quaker; Colyer and Don Fulano de Tal and the portly Indian agents of twenty régimes have poured unceasing Platitudes into the ear of the red man in council, These scenes, as ludicrous a8 can be imagined, Rave allowed some hundreds of magnanimous “oMcials,”” or “oMcious” persons, a chance to dis- Play a second-handed idealism, in which Uncas the “Good, Logan the Eloquent and Black Hawk the Bitter suggest “hifalutin” speeches, which would be ignominiously ‘‘cut ont’ of a Beadle dime novel. The ideal philanthrophy ts ‘universally met by the materialistic Lo with a de- mand for ram and buckshot, blankets and ’baccy. @ommon sense revolts from a policy in which lealism and idiocy, blunders and butchery, have n 80 curiously mingled. Itis my purpose in this brief article to take a look at the present situation and repeat the reme- dies needed. Premising all will agree that the red man Is fast disappearing; that land enough is now ~ pet off to support in peace all of the copper color; that it is but just to demand that peace should be Maintained and tho Indian obey the faw in return for the supplies and annual presents, and that mis- slonary lnfuence (with some exceptions) has signally failed, I announce my convictions :— OLD LO’S DUTIES. First—That the Indian, to avoid national death, Must work; must learn to keep the peace, value Tights of others and thus Christianize himself an enjoyment of the benefits of civilization in- of self-destruction by its vices, Second—That law is as binding (in its penalties) on the Indian as on the white; that it must be en- forced, and i return for national protection the In- must be placed in bounds and kept there, amenable to answering his bad deeds and receiving | in creature comforts and friendly teachings the re- ‘ward of his amended life, Reflecting on these principles, letting the Indian stairs be managed with full powers, the strong hand and wise head always In correlation, the way is clear to peaceful frontiers, extended miuing in- terests and a large area brought under cultivation. NO MORE WINDY PROMISES by irresponsible agents, no future plans of scntl- mental edncation by charitabie young ladies, uo in- discriminate attacks on helpless Indian communl- ties, but well-kept faith with the good, swift and sure punishment for the bad. Let us look at THE INDIAN OF TO-DAY. ‘The Indian is found to-day, with few insignificant exceptions, west of the Mississippi.

These are judged “by their fruits,” and the journals everywhere give evi- dence of their merit to the title.

It {3 folly to talk of peace with the Apaches. For two hundred years his hand has been Inst evel Man, and the mailea Spaniard has skirmishe vainly against the now relentless murderers of the settler.

The writer has defined his idea that force 1s the last resort; but, when used, let it be in sledge-hammer blows, not needing a sudden repetition. ‘To the enthusiast on Indian character a few days’ ride along the Arizonia roads, with refections on THE NUMBER OF UNMARKED GRAVES, is very beneficial.

Their pacemertey: is clearly due to the strong-handed policy which placed them in bonds and taught them work. It is only due to them, in consideration of fair behavior, that they should receive their reward in guarantee of their ssions, The universal Seeltog among them agatnat the lawless Kiowas shows that regu- jar habits have tamed the roving children of the forest. Fair excmplars of a steady policy, they are amenable to law and should be protected by it. The military power should only be used to keep order on the boundaries of their exclusive domains and to punish promptly armed marauding. In every other case let broad civil law administer to them with due impartiality the reward of good deeds and the sure penalty of evil actions, FUNERAL OF A MURDERED POLICEMAN. Impressive Services in the Church of Sts Peter and Paul, Williamsburg—Re- marks of the Rev. Sylvester Malone. ‘The obsequies of Officer John L. Dononue, a gal. lant and intrepid young member of the Brooklyn police force, who was foully murdered by a gang of Williamburg thieves and ruMans while in the dis- charge of hia duty, were celebrated in the old Church of Sta, Peter and Paul yesterday afternoon. The church was densely crowded during the mor- tnary services, the off-platoons of the ten Brooklyn Pojice precincts, with the Mayor of the city, the Police Vomnrissioners, Ohief Patrick Campbell and Inspector John 8. Foulk occupying tho centre pews. Previous to the administration of the rites of se pulture the Rev. Sylvester Malone, pastor of the church, delivered an impressive discourse.

A DANGEROUS CRISIS REACHED. The Government and Its Embarrassments--- The Dynasty Trembling in the Balance, ZORBILLA DECLINES TO BE PREMIER. His Party Seek Him and Bring Him in Triumph to Madrid. HE YIELDS AND FORMS A GOVERNMENT Amadeus at Length Master of the Situation. MaprD, June 15, 1873, ‘The situation here has become one of profound calm. We have had the storm, andthe sea ts ag quict as a midsummer cruise on the Mediterranean, When I last wrote you the burden of my story was the fall of the Serrano government. It fell with a crash. No single event has so stirred Spain to its inmost depth since Prim and Serrano unfurled the flag of revolt on the deck of Topete’s ship, while the royal band played the revolutionary hymn of Riego, There are a multitnde of stories in the air, which would- the truth-seeking mind, especially as one story contrmiiesp.another. It was natural that Sagasta’s Ministry should fall. Notii- ing mere corrupt and debasing has been seon in Spanish politics since the days of Godoy. Ther ‘Was no life in it, not even in this easy-going country of Spain. Dishonor tn the Cabinet, dishonor in the Cortes, dishonor in the finances, the nation hurry- ing into fs Niagara edd of bankruptcy, a Cortes cotaposed of mon whosé election had beew pur- chased by a lavish use of public money—even Spain could not submit to this, and Sagasta fell without a friend, without an honest follower, for the men who carried his flag would carry the flag of the next leader who brought a larger sum of money, SERRANO’S CLEMBNOY AND SERRANO’S DOWNFALL, But it was different with Marshal Serrano, Noxt to Espartero, who lives in retirement, his life now verging upon the nineties, and to Spain what the blind old Dandolo was to Venice, he was the fore- most man in the kingdom, It seemed for a while that the Spanish Dandolo would bo urged from his retirement to be to Spain what Thiers, in his sev- enty-seventh year, is to France. But Espartero was too old to leave his home, and when tho summons came from the king age and ill-health made him decline to be Minister or Councillor. But Serrano is in the fulness ana vigor of life. His name is not Only honored in Spain, but all over the world. It Was Serrano who, with Prim, led the insurrection. When the monarchy fell he was made Regent. Al- though. he was not supposed to be friendly to the candidature of Amadeus he accepted the dynasty with alacrity and has thus far served it loyally. To the American mind Serrano will - always be held in kind remembrance because of his treatment of the Carlists. When he sup- pressed that rebellion he showed clemency to the conquered. You cannot imagine the courage required to perform this act of eminent patriotiam unless you know the Spanish craving for blood and the intense disappointment any failure to gratify this appetite always inspires. You see this passion for blood, this morbid love of cruelty and death, in the builfight, the conspicuous national amusement of Spain, and in itself a brutal and dis- gusting butchery. When the Carlista fell Spain looked forward to executions, confiscations and punishment. Serrano made peace, and with peace granted amnesty and immunity. When he re- turned from his work he was met with an outcry of passion and rage. He resigned his offices, went into the Cortes as a deputy, defended himself in an honorable and manly speech, was honored by his fellow members in a formal vote for his valor and clemency, and returned to power apparently tho strongest subject in Spain. Within ten days from that supreme moment he and his party had fallen from power, HOW SERRANO’S FALL WAS BROUGHT ABOUT. You must not suppose that this sudden fall was inspired by a whim of Amadeus. He saw, what his wisest friends had advised him to see, that there could be no dynasty apart from the revolution. It is even o question whether there can be a dy- nasty with the revolution—whether, in short, the whole revolutionary movement here docs not mean, sooner or later, an end of dynasties, But Serrano had ceased to represent the revolution. His inter- ests were satisfied with Amadeus, just as they would have been satisfied with Don Alphonso, or the Duke of Montpensicr. He is a Captain General in the army, a Duke of the kingdom, and ali that politics can bring-him is added dignities. Whether they came from Amadeus or not is an indifferent matter. What he wants is dignity. So while he Was the strongest man in Spain it was not the strength of the people. His main concern was the “public order,” forgetting that in all truly governed nations the public order takes care -of itself. So when he returned to the head of the ministry he felt that the first duty was to arrest the revolution, to take up arms against it; to surround the throne as with an embankment, and make revolution im- possible, or at least a bloody business to those who attempted it, This was the meaning of the measure which he proposed to the King, and because of the King’s refusal to accept it resigned his ministry. As Iexplained in another letter, the measure was a suspension of the constitution, but although so desig- nated ‘it was really more than that. The only act corresponding with it in our own country that I can remember was Mr. Lincoln suspending the habeas corpus in 1861, What Mr. Lincoln did was In the presence of a war which threatened to destroy thé nation, No such dgnger tireatenéd Marshal Ser- Fano. He desired fo suspend the constitution to secure himself from any popular influences, This measure gave him power to raise money in apy way he deemed best, and upon whatever terms; to levy taxes at his pleasure and expend the public treasure without an appropriation bill; to garrison the large towns with the troops of the regular army; to suspend individual rights and prevent public meetings—in other words, tg hold Spain in his hand and do with it what he pleased, No one doubts that. the Marshal would have used Spain gently and behaved in his exalted place like a patriot; but there was a danger in the prospects that all men saw and feared—the danger of the people. There was another danger which we are told had its influence upon the quickened and anxious imagination of the King—the danger of Serrano and his friends going over to Montpensier or Don Alphonso, and using the pro- digious power which they craved to upset this throne and restore the old one under a prince of the House of Bourbon, The announcement that there was to ne # radical meeting, or rather. con- vention, of the leaders of the radical party hastened ‘the resolution of Serrano. Had the measure he craved been passed he would have prevented any meeting of his opponents by suspending the con- stitution and declaring martial law. THE KING AND THE PEOPLE—PARTY AND POWER. The measure was fraught with two dangers, The King, it Is said, distrusted the men who demanded this anusual tenure of authority, There can prob- ably be no severer reflection upon the social and political condition of Spain than the circumstance that a King would deny the request of his Ministers for fear of their conspiring against the crown. But the lesson of Spanish politics shows that what we would call treason in our country, or even in England, fa justi- flable political expedient here, The men who arp in power to-day betrayed the men who were in power yesterday, and they dread the traitors of to- morrow in the friends and allies of to-day. Spain has no grander grandee than Marshal Serrano. He 1s a duke, and the King contemplates making him a prince. Well, Serrano has done his share of treach- ery and mutiny, and the title which rumor attaches to his coming princehoods symbolizes the battle of Alcolea, which he, a general of Isabella, fought wri Ha'g crown. Serrano has said again at he would never draw his sword ainst Amadeus; that Asnaaty with “sinc ay suspension he might ave kept nig word. But there were men in his party—men like for in- stance—who would have seen Amadeus dethroned as gs they would look upon a prancing mata- dor in ball Fing, hag. it served their purpose. No wonder the ing distrusted the measure, Poop i hpi are toty were 8 reasons, which, a8 9 iy hh to. fofena Spain, he could not overlook, The mere foes that Serrano asked for his extraor- dinary privileges shows that he had no confidence tn the People. le could only use these powers eens tl oplée. If he really were the chosen and accepted ister. of Spain he would not require an army in every province. The King vy his oath was nol to consider the people apart from the party r. THE BEAL DANOBR TO THE DYNASTY was from the radical and republican parties. It is Dow generally conceded that if the King had con- sent thé measures of Marshal Serrano there have been an insurrection. This was the of the retirement of Zorrilla.

He RESOLVED TO TRUST THR PEOPLE, It seems to have been a right royal decision, by whatever motive it was prompted. It came like @ } surprise to Spain. It was the one thing which no one expected. When the crisis was in full tide, and every mind had its own speculation as to what the upshot would be, no one ventured to suppose that he would summon the radicals to power. Had he not made Sagasta Minister—Sagasta, the represent- ative of the vast phases of Spanish politics—when ho came to Madrid with his fraudulent Cortes? Had he not continued the friends of Sagasta In power even {ter it was shown that elections had been carricd yy an pngerdpnious and dishonest use of the public funds? Had he not sent for Serrano, when in active command against the Carlists, to come to Madrid, id come quickly, and save the dynasty? And was ie not a constitutional king, with a constitutional Cabinet, and would he hesitate to obey it in any recommendation it would make? Behind thi Cabinet was @ Oortes ready to vote any measure, even his orn abdica- tion, should the Cabinet require it. So when it was known that Serrrano and his friends had eld a caucus and had resolved to pass the bill sus- pending the public rights, every took it for granted that it would be passed, ‘There would be civil war,” said nine men in ten. ‘There would be a republic in thirty days,” said the keenest observer of Spanish, polities I have seen in Spain, AMADEUS DETERMINED TO STAND BY THE CONSTITU- 1 ‘TION. The announcement that the King had declined to authorize the Serrano measure even after it had been proposed in full Cabinet came like a bolt out of the blue, Ihave told you of the meetings that took place between the Cabinet and the King. It is said that when Serrano told Amadeus that with- out this measure nothing could save the dynasty, he replied, ‘Well, I will take the constitution, the unbroken constitution, in my hand, as & passport, and walk out of Spain,” Retreat he would not, Cortes or no Cortes, Serrano or no Serrano, he had sworn this oath, and he would keep it. And so Serrano and his government of ten diys vanished into thin air, like the witches who Interrupted Macbeth. THE RADICAL MINISTRY AND THE CALL FOR ZORRILLA, Sefor Zorrilla was so far away in his retire- ment that no one could tell whether he would serve the King or not. He was pouting among his almond and olive trees, away from railways and telegraphs. He had made a passionate exit from public life, and had declared that under no cireum- stances would he return to the Cortez. He would serve the King if the King showed wisdom—not | Mankind, in ‘es of Europe, EPeeiaa security. ‘Taara, with this there was ut Whoae course 1s Wo! imes, ir straw, & oting in these As the hitherto silent, anxious and dro del \otleed @ down the Puert yg ay jour cheered. én nen, was by T fancy the color that mounted their young cheeks at this unusual courtesy came from a throbbing hearts, Plainly, in some way or of the King had reached the heart of Spain, wii funds going up and people cheering on ‘Ways, What might not perl to an honest, zealous king, resolved to do his work?

As for Excellency Sagasta and his purchased Catey, to prevent their playing any mad pranks while the government was under way, Catey was sn: ded, and If Zorrill, would take hold there would be a general effort to get the ship off the rocks.

Abont two hours ago—as 1 guess—Zorrilla stood upon his balcony and thanked the shouting crowd, with that measured and solemn courtesy peculiar to the Spaniards, for their kinduess. He come, reluctantly it true, but he was hero, ees any TeRpOHATDH AY, to do all that could be done for King and country and the triumph of radical ideas, God willing! It was seven o'clock when he made his little speech; at eight he went to the palace and was sworn in, the crowd swarmed into the wide-open Alcala, fresh from hia oratory, they were reinforced by another crowd— many thousands in all—hot and streaming from the bull fight, eager for supper and cigarettes, BOgry with the bulls for being Killed 80 easily and with tli matadors for being no better than butchers—men, women and chiiéron Huang, pushing, Rarpring, CaSO Tas tAnOrS and bulls; aud so this tide swarmed into another crowd near a dingy church decorated with Chinese lanterns, and was arrested by a procession of armed men, & barre of infantry reverently marching; a band of music, in lou chorus and symphony trailing line of priests and incense bearers and attendants, carrying on their heads large masses of flowers, @ Canopy, and then, even there, under the smiling morn and the wide open, unclouded sky, borne aloft the Sacred Host, which to this multitude signified the very body of Jesus Christ, the blessed Redeemer of And as It slowly moved into the church every voice was hushed, every step was atilled ana every knee was bent in adoration, hare ee 9 in the awful presence the mad, busy comedy of politics, pene and. intrigue which now distracts poor pain, e A HOMEOPATHIC MONUMENT. The New Homeopathic Medical College on Third Avenuc—Dexeription of the Editice. Were anything wanting to sliow the progress of homeopathy in this country the superb college just erected on the corner of Third avenue and Twenty~ third street would scem to remove any doubt. The building, which was endowed by Mrs. Emma A, Keep with a donation of $100,000, is now ready for occupancy. It has a front of fifty feet on the avenue, and is nearly one hundred feet deep. It is five stories high and furnished with a Mansard roof that adds materfally to its archi- tectural effect. The ground floor is fitted for bual- ness purposes. The first or main floor is reached before. ‘Would Zorrilla return to Madrid?’ That was now the sidewalk question. The bridge was built—the radical bridge that was to carry Ama- deus and Spain over many streams and chasms; but | there was no keystone, and without Zorrilia there could be none, and nothing could come but immt- nent and irretrievable chaos. So all Madrid harrowed its soul over the problem and finally subsided into @ public meeting. The meeting was announced for five, and the writer found himeeif in a crowd who were swarming along the Prado, In these torrid days, with this blazing, pitiless, glaring sky, Madrid sinks into a slesta between eleven and | three, The city becomes as the city of the dead, | andall life is {n hiding from the implacable sun.

There are also threo dark rooms for unteaumbscoptc and aural éxamina- tions. The butiding is ventilated by atr shafts, On this floor are a bedi i! and reception rooms, and ar- other for the use of the directors of the institution. Ascending by a handsome staircase, with an orna- mental balustrade, the second floor ts reached. Here are two wards—each 25 fect—for women, and a ward for men, which measures 30 by 40 feet, all having separate bathing rooms and Water con- veniences, In front of the hall is a dining room, 16 feet by 25, for those patients who are not confined totheir beds; and adjoining this are the matron's apartments, fitted with commodious closets, hall 1s found in the rear of these parlors which will gommunicate with the Surgical Hospital.
