The Third Sunday Concert, The third Sunday concert at the Grand Opera House was given last evening; but, from the forced absence of Carlotta Patti, it was lacking in the in- terest which was expected to attend it, This mis- fortune, however, did not en tirely destroy the en- joyment of a large audience, and the rest of the programme was given with good effect. Signor | Vizzani was in better voice than he has been at any time this season, and he earned an encore from an audience which showed but little of the enthusiasm so often seen at popular entertainments. M. Sauret gained some S olper| for his performances on the violin, and Ronconi exhibited his facial contortions, which are generally more pleasing than the more artistic etforts of this distinguished artist. Mile. Carreno played GottschaJk’s “Apotheose” and “Marche Solennelle;” but while she showed execution and fair boldness and precision she failed to make any decided impression. If it had not been for the disappointment occasioned by Patti’s absence the success of the concert would have been as decided as that of any entertainment ot the kind which we have yet had in this city, There was of course the natural disposition on the part of a few persons to question the reality of the prima donna’s sickness, but this was not in- dulged to any extent, and good temper followed the assurance that the misfortune was as much the misfortune of the artist as of the public, Mile.

This decrease is owing to a suspension of pumping for thirty days, this movement having been inaugurated about the 20th of September. There is a decrease in the stock in the region under that hela at the close of the previous month of 36,987 barrels. There is also @ falling off inthe shipments amounting to 73,892 barrels.

Reported Change in the Indian Policy. The Government Following the Herald’s Advice. erie ier are 0 The President’s Runaway Colt Ulysses Escapes Unhurt. ene Cheney A “One-Term” Chance Lost to the Greeley Men. WASHINGTON, Oct. 20, 1872. A New tadian Policy About to be Pro-~ posed—The Indians to be Located on Farms and Forced to Feed Themselves. It is generally believed that amother change in the Indian policy of the government ia impending. ‘The various officials connected with the subject— civil, military and volunteer—are broaching new theories of Indian management, which is a good sign that they are dissatisfied with the system now in practice or doubtful of its results. General Howard’s telegraphic announcement that Cochise ‘Wants peace and board and lodging for the Winter provokes nothing but sarcasm, and the band of red- skins that Captain Alvord, of thearmy, has brought to Washington are cut by everybody at the White House and the Interior Department. What the President is going to say in his Message about the Indian policy, present or future, if known to any but himself, has gone no further than the Secretary’ of the Interior and the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, but there are outcroppings of the new pro gramme that afford a clew to the whole system. The new policy, if rightly apprehended in’ this despatch, proposes to deal with the Indian asa man endowed with all the passions and vices, as well asthe virtues, that are native to humanity. The philanthropist’s view of the aborigine as a simple, courageous, faithful and truthful child of nature, and the border estimate of him as a fero- cious, crafty and cowardly brute, are to be equally avoided as the rocks and quicksands that would wreck any plan of Indian regeneration. Due account ig to be taken of his kuown timidity in the face of power and his bravery in defence or in offence if the odds be on his side, so that, while he is to be protected and assisted when peaceful and industri- ous, he ia tobe punished for his misdeeds on the same principle that prevails in ,civilized communi- ties. This punishment is always to be immediate, certain and adequate. The prevailing “Quaker policy” of the administration is seen now te be, Properly speaking, no policy at all It merely undertakes to deal with the In- dian in a general and feeble way, the central idea being todo him good when the doing is not too dificult, and to punish and subdue him when hostile. Incompetency and dishonesty in the Indian service has paralyzed the beneficial part of the scheme, while the variations in public senti- ment away from the Indian districts have made the punishment spasmodic and ineffectual. The philan- thropists who have fastened themselves upon the Indian Bureau have ignored punishment alto- gether and trusted to coaxing and persuading, with promises and gifts, to get the Indians upon reservations and in contact with the softening processes of civilization and the reign of law. Chiefs and headmen are cajoled and solicited to go to Washington to see the Great Father and have a good time, in defiance of the well-known result that no chief can retain his influence over his band after showing by his peace talk, on his return, that he has been partaking of the “white man’s medi- cine,” and that his promises can bind nobody but himself if he chooses to adhere to his pledges made while here. Whenever the new policy goes into effect the In- dian is not to be bribed into keeping quict as long as it suits his pleasure or conventence ; he is not to be placated with presents or supported in idleness, or carried about the country for the glorification of agents and missionaries, nor allowed to roam at will over’@ Teservation that is large enough to gratify his nomadic tastes, His civilization is to be the civilization of the white man. The tribal re- tation is to be broken up so far as concerns the pos- session of lands and property, each family having its own farm or shop and being assisted in gaining @ Support from its own labor. The Indian is to be safe upon his reservation, both in person and property, but off it he must take his chances. No white intruders are to be tolerated on the reserva- tion, though it would not be desirable to isolate the Indian from small settlements about its limits. The Indians are to be taught in schools maintained on the reservation the English language as well as reading, writing and ciphering. The question of religious instruction presents greater diMiculties than any other parts of the plan, but those Indians who have been under special de- nominations will probably be permitted so to re- main, while the rest may be free to all denomina, tions, the whole being under control of the Indian Bureau; the military to be on every reservation, but in strict subordination to the civil power. These are the mere outlines of a plan which is ne- lieved by those conversant with it to be the most promising and practical yet brought forward in so- lation of our Indian probiem. A New Postal Treaty with France—Low Rates to be Introduced. About six weeks ago the Postmaster General re- ceived a letter from Mr. Wickham Hoffman, our Chargé d’Affairs at Paris, stating that in an in- formal interview with the Director of Postal Affairs it was intimated that the French government was now ready to make a postal treaty with the United States which would be more favorable to this country than any heretofore proposed. Mr. Hoff. man was accordingly authorized by Postmaster General Creswell to negotiate a treaty, subject to the approval of the Post Office Department. The only information that has since been received is that the rate for letters of one-third ounce will be fixed both ways at eight or nine cents, a rate which will be approved by our government when formally presented in a treaty. France is the last nation with which we are to establish a postal treaty with low rates. All other nations have now treaties by which letters of one- third or one-half ounce may be forwarded for six cents, The French government has held out against the low rate, claiming a superior postal system, which made it worth more to have letters | delivered under it. For some time past Americans in France having correspondence in the United States have forwarded their letters via London, thereby evading the French postal rates to this country, and saving at least twelve cents on every letter of ten grammes. It is this evasion that, in the opinion of our officials, has forced the French government to make better arrangements, A Stump Orator’s Ankle Sprained. Commissioner Baker, of the Pension Bureau, writes to the Secretary of the Interior from Man- kato, Minn., that he had broken or severely sprained his left ankle, and would not be able to fulfil the engagements made for his speaking at various points in that State. The Captured Caban Flag. fhe Cuban flag taken from the privateer Ploneer has been presented to Secretary Boutwell by Cap- tain Ritchie, of the revenue steamer Moccasin. The Yellowstone Region Survey. Professor Hayden, in a letter received at the In- terior Departmhent says that the survey of the Yel- lowstone region this year has been more successiul than any previous year; every step has been a success, and that he will retarn to Washington freighted with the most valuable mineral spect- mens. He has travelled without an escort, the re- ports frequently confounding the operations of Jonn H. Hayden, whois engaged in surveying the Northern Pacific route, with the Profeasor’s under- taking.

The Prestdent’s Presence of Mind with His Runaway Horses—Almost a “One Term” Argamen: Yesterday afternoon, as the President was driv- ing a team of young horses along M atreet, ap- Proaching the Circle at the intersection of Four- teenth street and Massachusetts avenue, one of the colts, unaccustomed to rapid driving, suddenly bolted, and, sheering, broke the pole. The Presi~ dent, whose legs were wrapped in a riding blankets suddenly disengaged himself and leaped from the vehicle just as the younger of the two colts kicked inthe dashboard, The President, with that pres- ence of mind which characterized all his move- ments during the war, saw in an instant that to rein in the horses would be to bring the shattered Pole against the haunches of the colts. Placing hia leit foot on the felloes of the wheel, he shouted for assistance, and @ number of colored workmen engaged near by instantly rushed to the rescue, selzed the unmanageable horses and held them until disengaged from the carriage, The President requested that they be sent to the stables on Seventeenth street,’ and, lighting a fresh cigar, congratulated himself upon his escape aud victory over his fractious steeds. Louisiana for Ulysses. Cotonel Casey, Collector of Customs at New Orleans, arrived here last night. He says that Louisiane is certain for Grant and Wilson. A Glowing Official Account of the Indian Penee Policy in the Far West. Thomas K. Cree, Secretary of the Board of Indian Commissioners, has returned to this city. In com- pany with Felix R. Brunot, Chairman of the Board, he has just concluded an extended tour of four months’ duration among the Indian tribes of Mon- tana, Idaho, Wyoming and Colorado. They report the prospects in regard to the whole Indian question as very hopeful. The Crows, who, next to the Sioux, are the most powerfui tribe in the Northwest, under the new system, are not only willing that the North Pacific Railroad should skirt the whole northern border, of their reservation, but offered, in large numbers, to accompany the surveying party asa pro- tection against the Sioux. The Piegans, Bloods and Blackfeet are, it is said, s0 thoroughly subdued by the new policy of justice and kindness that it is Perfectly safe for whites to travel unarmed in any part of their Territory. The Shoshone and Ban- nock Indians of Idaho and Wyoming are beginning to farm, and rapid progress is looked for. Bya treaty made by the Commissioners with the Sho- shones of Wyoming they agree to cede to the United States 800,000 acres of their reservation, which, when the treaty is ratified by Congress, will be thrown open to settlement. On the land ceded is located Hamilton City, Swectwater Gold Belt and a4 large extent of valuable mining territory, as well as extensive farming and grazing lands. The Commissioner was careful to see that sufficient land was left for the Indians to provide each with @ good farm. The so-called Indian warin Utah and the reports of Indian outrages committed there are mostly fabrications. The Utes in Colo- rado and New Mexico, a large tribe, are desirous of a continuation of peace, and hopes are enter- tained of their early progress in civilization. Most of the late reports of Indian disturpances on our frontier have been originated by promoters of private interests, either to secure the presence of troops to consume their superabundant crops or for the accomplishment of political purposes, Postmasters Appointed. The President has appointed the following post- masters: Benjamin C, Skeets at Oregon, Ills., vice John Sharp, resigned, and C, H. McIntyre at Yank- lan, Dakota, vice William Seward, resigned. Paying the Interest on the Debt. The Secretary of the Treasury has authorized the Assistant Treasurers and United States Deposi- tories to commence the payment of interest, in- cluding November 1, and Monday, 21st inst., with- out rebate. New Mail Route. The Post Office Department has ordered a postal service on the Paris and Danville Railroad, between Paris and Danville, Iils., thirty-six miles, com- mencing November 1. The Japanese Young Lady Stadents. Two of the eldest Japanese girls who came here with the Embassy recently left Washington for San Francisco on their return to Japan—one of them because of injury to the eyesight, which threatens blindness, and the other from purely private con- siderations. They were eight months in this coun- try, during which time they learned to speak Eng- lish. Two ofthe girls will go toNew Haven on Nov- ember 1to be educated, and the youngest wil! re- main with Mr. Lamman in Georgetown for a year. Perpetual Motion Seckers. Numerous inquiries, both in person and by let- ter, are made from time to time at the Patent Office, and also of the President and various Cabi- net oficers, in regard to a supposed prize of $1,000,000 reported to be offered by the government for the discovery of perpetual motion. No such ofter has ever been made by the government; but though the absurd statement cannot be traced to its source, it seems to find an astonishing number of believers throughout the country, and un- doubtedly stimulates effort in this direction on the part of a very numerous class of persons who are still engaged in making the apparently hopeless attempt. The Hant for an Observatory. The party sent out by the United States Coast Survey, under charge of Mr. Richard Cutts, to make examinations for a site for an observatory, has re- turned after an absence of several months. Con- gress made an appropriation of $2,000 for this pur- pose, at the request of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Mr. Cutts selected Sherman, 8,300 fect above the level of the sea, and og the Union Pacific Railroad, as a suitable place to make the test. At this altitude it was found that cloudy and windy weather were prevalent, which would make the location an unreliable one for scientific purposes. It is expected that Con- gress will make a larger appropriation at the coming session to continue the examination at other points. The Congressional Gasometer Exte: Me The report of Mr. Edmund Clark, Architect of the Capitol in response to a resolution introduced into the House at the close of the last session of Con- gress by General Butler, asking that plans might be submitted for the improvement of the hall of the House of Representatives, has been prepared and will be sent this week to Hon. George A. Halsey, Chairman of the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds. It is as follows:— Having examined the Hall of Representatives, with a view to enlar; ng and extending its sides to the outer walls of the building as contemplated in House resoijutions passed June 1, 1872, 1 ha’ honor to state that there are ‘at di the way of thus enlarging this Hall, as the roof i 1d by the walls which enclose it. To tak either the north orthe south wall away would in- volve the construction of new rafters of a greater span than those now used. In consequence of the large amount of labor in accomplishing this result Tam of the opinion that it is impracticable, owin to the shortness of the time during which {t musi be done. A result might be gained cguvenets relates to light and air, and ares to the floor by abolishing the gallery at the south and taking out the wall which rates the hallirom the corridor back to the S| now separates the corridor and the Speaker's room, which wall night be pierced with doorways at the floor and by windows at the upper sory I am of the opinion, however, that the glare of light thus obtained would be a source of annoyance, as has proved to be the case inthe Supreme Court is found necessary to drape the windows and to depend mae | on the open! in the ceiling for light. Besides, if windows should be ma cessible to the Hall, opening or shuttin; would do away with all reliable control 0: the heating and would moreover seriously affect the acoustics of the room, as it is well knewn that where lateral ventilation f¢ present. sound is con- ducted in the direction of the currents of the air.

A Tale of Unrequited Services and Unfulfilled Aspirations—Am Old Policeman of tlie Beau Broadway Squad—The Severo Interprota- tion of the Law of 1870 by the Boned of Commissioners of Police, A muddy, murky might in the present month, gentleman was standing on the ferryboat Middie- ton as she was ploughing through the troubled waters of the bay on her way from New York to Staten Island. There was a ludicrous scene tran- splring—an incomprehensible tumult of a few mo- ments occurred in the crowd of passengers, and then an immense rotund German, who resembied the full moon of harvest, at alurch of the vessel, rolled out of a ricketty wagon which was aboard to the hard deck, where he sat rubbing nis inebri- ated eyes with the rueful countenance of that ancient Roman mentioned in history as moping among the ruins of Carthage. A tall, sturdy-looking watchman who attempted to lift the prostrate and ponderous form and igno- mintously failed, exclaimed indignantly aside :— “Oh! the beast? Then sighingly—‘No romance! No chance for heroiam! Ugh!" and he turned his back, The speaker wore blue clothes, with a bright silver shicld on his left breast. His eye had the coid, gray light of courage; his beard and mustache were streaked with white and were cut short. The stranger hercupon accosted him—timidly—be seemed of such herole mould:— “You seem, sir, to regret the daya of chivalry. Your melancholy air impresses me with awe and interest.” “You are right, young man; the air ia very chilly to-night, very,"’ remarked a by-stander, “What is your position on this vessel?” said the stranger to the man with the shield, “I? I'ma watchman employed by the company who own this boat; but [am sworn in asa special policeman of Richmond county, That ia—now, I consider myself, however," said he, with a proud air, “a member of the Metropolitan Police force of the city of New York.” Here was a mystery, but at the same time a case of manly and heroic assertion of some unacknow- ledged and, perhaps, unobtainable right. He con- versed with the stranger, and, in answer to his kind questions, the latter was told by him a story of great interest. It ia afitting and trustworthy illustration of that generosity with which the Com- missioners of the Police in New York have fulfilled their engagements to the old members of the force, and have shown justice in considering in certain instances THBIR WELI-FOUNDED OLATMS for redress of wrongs. It isone of those wonders of righteous administration of municipa: atfairs of which New York can so proudly boast. In 1866 the police system of the metropolis was extended over Richmond eonty, or Staten Island. On the famous Broadway squad, which was then under the command of Captain Copeland, since advanced to the office of Inspector, was an honest. and serviceable officer named bodge, who had returned very recently from Dghting with the army at Antictam and Bull Run, had fought the rioters of 's3 as aspecial policeman, and was now holding his position with the highest reputation for trustworthiness and intelligence. He was sent with twenty-seven other men to form the original Staten Island Municipal police, Captain Holbrook being placed in command and having organized the squad. Not long afterwards the Board of Police Commissioners Reseed. @ resolution requiring the members of this jetachment to reside on Staten Island with their families, This reguiatien being complied with, the ofticers felt secure in their positions and contented with the allotments of Providence. In the year ofour Lord 1870.the wise and Ta legislators of the State amended the law regarding the police of New York and the suburbs, withdrawing their diction from Brooklyn and Staten Is! The Board of Commissioners had full nizance of this intended measure long before the probability arose of such a bill being passed; tt knew that many old and tried members of the force had been stationed in Brooklyn, Staten Island, Queens and Westchester counties. In Brooklyn they were continued at their old rates of pay, but in Richmond county they were tacitly dropped from the rolls, with no explanation or any demand for the return of the insignia of their con- stabulary offices, One of the oldest aud most re- spected members of the force mentioned above was one of those whose services it was least rea- sonable to so summarily dispense with, and it was the occasion of great surprise that he was not ordered back to duty in the me- tropolis instead of being left in the general neg- lect. One other of the Staten Island police went on the Brooklyn police, where he still is. The rest of them were alterwards employed on the Rich- mond county force, but were not satistied to re- Inquish their positions as members of the Metro- politan force, and they still claim that they possess their old rank, and bring forward arguments 80 juris- nd, cog: sensible that, to say the least, they are worthy the attention of the public. Their first appointment in the city was to last through life, except in case of misdemeanor. They have never been discharged by the Commis- sioners who appointed them. They still retaia their official shields, which were never even demanded of them, aud their old uniforms and wea- pons. The whole of their salaries since 1870 ts in arrear; but they have never made any legal attempt to recover it. Verbal petitions they have made to Commissioner Barr and others, but the answer has always been that the Board did not wish to be troubled at all with the matter and interpreted the law as being the virtual discharge of these men. Yet it may then be asked of what {ll conduct were they guilty? It is not to be claimed that the old Staten Island po- licemen are models of oficial perfection, perhaps, as outrages by them have not been unknown oi late. A flagrant instance occurred very recently, where a huge, burly officer with his club broke the jaw of a man against whom he had an old spite, the provocation being simply an impudent answer to a civil question. e victim in this case was Jerry Sullivan, a manly fellow, who had few enemies and who, by the advice of friends, sued and re- covered damages for the brutal blow. If the rem- nant of the old force who were taken into the new may be judged by this story, it is questionable how far they are deserving of being reinstated on duty in New York. But certainly it would be but a cefal act of policy by the commission to consider the ciaims which they present, and especially in the case of true and tried officers, The old member of the Broad- way mene mentioned above is now obliged to con- tent himself with only half the salary which he en- rical Lage og of the law of 1870, he position of watchman on the Staten Island very boats, a sphere in which his high talents are not fully tested, and in which the bloom has faded from his cheek, the brilliancy of outh from his eye and in which his once flowing locks and manly beard has turned an ashen hue with the anxiety of suspense and disappointment. The tall figure of this relic of the palmy days of the Municipal Police that, like a Viking oi old, stalks through noonday, eve and night, the prosaic decks of the Staten Island ferryboats, never escape the ayeipeinetts eyes of the school misses and the sen- timental young ladies among the dally passengers, restil nant of departed honor—chivalry and glory. And dowagers, with curly and silvery tresses, seem each to recognize in him the same official person- age whose firm presence used to stay the roaring vehicles at the corner of Ann street and Broadway, opposite the old Museum, to allow them to cross the muddy nye the days when tney were the young belles of the haute monde, and were zed after with eager glances by the gay bucks of he od. that is bis history, A member of the Broadway ry quired on the worst and wettest da, oted across the great cent) thoroughfare. nis is by no means the least public service for | which men Rave in this great city been invested | with distinguished honor, and how it is the in- | terest that can be awakened in one’s breast by any. | thing of suzh a gallant character would be realized | if one had but once seen tl ately form,that manly tread, that chivalrous , that elevated ex- pression of hauteur and jus lable self-esteem.

The biographical notices which are here given of the graduates of Prince- ton are something'more than mere persona memt- oranda or a table of necrology; they are the facts of agrand genctalization, which will demonstrate that Princeton has'had much todo in securing. the liberties of our country, in founding the Preahyte- rian Church in thts’ tan! and in introducing: an@ stimulating the highor forms of academic aad coliegtate learning.’ A foot note recortie the fact that other Churches besides ve Presbyterian are well represented by Prinoe- ton graduates.

Perhaps the eaviest debt of gratitude which the nation owes to the Afumnt of Princeton ts on account of their fmfauemee in originating and fostering the higher fornrs of eda- cation in the formative state of our country. Many of our most important colleges grew out of the “classical school” which they planted by the side of the “Church.” It is just to add that, from the days of Witherspoon to those of McCosh, a powerftst element of good in the history of Princeton and ef many other American colleges may be tracéd’ te that Scottish origin which was heartily recognized by the late Professor [ra Chase in his eloquent speech ata dinner in honor of Rev.

Wright, from Arkansas, a medicat student of the Loutsville University, wie was supposed to have committed suicit® two weeks ago, was captured on Friday night in the woods near Salem, Indiana, by the Sheriff of Floyd county, in that State, and brought to this city to-day.” Wright had been sent from home to» keep him from marrying a girl to whom his parents were opposed, and the disappointment unhinged his mind, At the time of his supposed drowning he was laboring under the delusion that somebody wanted to hang him, and did try to drown himself, He then changed his mind, swam the river to the Indiana shore and has wandered through the woods ever since, sleeping in the open air and subsisting on nuts, roots, &c. He is still suffering under mental derangements, and is being tuken care of by the Faculty of the university, who will send him home as 8000 as is iit to travel.
