To Tae Entvor ov tax Hrrann: In view of the present hot weather, would it not be well to revive the “poor children's picnics” which were so successful in summers past? I believe there is an unexpended balance from last year which would defray part of the expenses for one picnic, and 1 am positive that the generosity of our citizens will pro- vide for the rest. The picnics area voble charity, worthy of all encouragement, as they have been the means of saving the heaith’ and lives of many of the ebildren, who all the year round are compelled to | live in the slams and byways of our city, and tho lower wards in particular are overrun With these almost abandoned images of their Creator, who toust look to their wealthier neighbors for bia! ae day’s | | enjoyment HM. Now YORK SOLDIERS’ HOME. The Loenting Committee of the Grand Army of the Republic, to whom was mtrueted the duty of selecting a suitable site for the erection of a Soldiers’ Home for the State of New York, have reported in favor of Bath, Steuben county, as the most suitable site upon which to rear the institution, [t appears that Elmira offered fiity acres of land and $25,000 cash if tt were established there; Ven Yan offered 188 acres of land on Lake Kenka and $5,000 in cash: Watkins offered 200. acres on Seneca Lake and $5,000; Bath, tho place chosen, gives 220 acres of land and $6, 000, The transter of the | title of the land to the corporation will be made by September 1, 1876, end the batiding, toward which Brookiva has largely contributed, will be commenced this fall SPANISH PAINTINGS DELPHIA, The bark Abby Bacon, soon to arrive from Malaga, Spain, will bring a namber of valuable paintings in- tended jor the Exhivition at Philadelphia.

QUESTION. Wendell Phillips Arraigns General Sherman. HOW THE WHITES HAVE TREATED THE INDIANS, The Red Mar Will Cry Against Us For Vengeance. pet es RS De) Bostos, Jonx 17, 1876. To Gawepat Superman :— Sm—An American citizen, entitled and bound to in- quire whether the officers of the Republic are men or something below humanity, 1 respectfully claim the right to ask you, are the journals correct when they represent you as advising the extermination of the In- diana? This charge has been made several times aur- ing the last three years. If it be faise, I beg you, for the honor of the nation and of the service, to deny 1t. While you neglect to do so the press uses your sup posed example to commend that infamoas course and to create a public opinion which shall approve. and de- mand it, WHAT THE INDIAN COMMISSIONERS REPORT. If the charge be true I cannot but remember that. you aro better ucquainted than most Americans with the real relations of our government to the Indians. . You were, in 1867, the head of an Indian commission, and its report, signed by yourself and printed by the government, is one of ihe most terri pictures ever | drawn of tho wrongs tho indian bes suf- fered from this nation, This mvestigation and your general expericnce showed you how cruel and unjust has been our treatment of the Indian for the last 100 years. You know that we have sur. rounded him with every demoralizing inflacnce, steeped him in intemperance, incited him to licentious- ness by the example of those set over him, and tempted him toevery vice. You bave yourself spread on the Public records the evidenco that the government has robbed him of his land, cheated bim of his dues and unifofmly broken taith with him. If any of the tribes ‘are to-day liars, thieves and butchers, they may right- | fully claim to havo only copied, at humble distance, j the example we have set them. HOW WE HAVE TREATED THE INDIAN, You are not ignorant that the Indian has been out- | raged and plundered by the frontiersmen without stint or redress, and butchered by our soldiers, under tho American flag, with brutal and detestable cruelty— the description of which in plain terms the press would not admit to its columns, You know—no one better—that the worst brutality which prurient malice | ever falsely charged tho Indian with is but weak mmi- tation of what the white man has often inflicted on In- dian men, women and children, You koow that on the plains we have violated every rule of civilized war, magsacring women and children with worse than savage brutality, Your career has not-shown you an instance where the Indian has lifted nis hand against us until provoked to it by misconduct on our part, con- | pared with which any misconduct of his is but dust in the balance. WHAT HARRISON SAID. Your experience will fully indorse wnat President Harrison, when Governor of Indiana, said to his Legis+ lature in 1807, “that the utmost eforts to induce the Indians to take up arms would be unavailing if one only of the many persons who have committed murder upon their people could be brought to punishment.” MARNRY’S TESTIMONY. You will not in the slightest degree doubt or deny the grave charge which Major General Harney, after fifty years’ service on tue plains, made to a Congres- sional committee, “that he had never known an’ In - dian tribe break its word to our government, and ho had never known the government to keep its faith with an Indian tribe.’’ You are too much of a soldier not to confess that had you been piaced in the Indian's circumstances you would have been ashamed not to have acted as he has done. TOPH'S EVIDENCE. You would accept, as every honest man does, the statement of Major General Pope, in 1875, that the army officer ‘cannot prevent wrongs which drive the Indian to war, On the contrary, at the demand of every agent whose unfair dealing with the Indians has brought on a dificulty, he is obliged to pursue and forco back to the same deplorable state and piace Indians whom he knows to have been wronged, and who have only done substantially what he would have done him- self under lke provocation.” You must be keenly sensible what a reproach it is to religion and culture that our mu!tiplying millions, with all the resources at | civilization and Christianity in their hands, have lived for 200 years close to this small and capable race and been able to give it only their vices—that all of good the Indian has is his own; most of his vices he can rightfully charge to the white man, HOW WE NAVE MANAGED THR INDIAN, Except the negro no race will lift up at the judg- ment seat such accusing hands against this nation as the Indian will, We have subjected bim to agents who have systematically cheated him. We have made caugeless war on him, merely as a pretext to steal hi lands, ‘Trampling under foot the rules ot modern war- fare wo have made war on his women and chidren, We bave cheated him out of one hunting cround by compelling him to accept ancther, and robbed him of this resistance by confiscation. Meanwhile neither pulpit nor press nor political party would listen to his com- plaint. Neither im Congress nor in any city of the Union could his advocate obtam a hearing. States- mansbp, good senso and justice, even from the Chicf Magistrate, wore unavailing when they pleaded for such | Jong-time victims of popular hate and pillage as our Indiap tribes, AN APPEAL TO SHERMAN. Can it be possible, then, that with such k nowledge and such experienco you, sir, the head of the arm. and bound to show at least outward respect to civiliza- tion, have no counsel to give except extermination— the extermination of theso plundered victiins of « greedy, unscrupplous and cruel people? Can you ad- vise a professedly Christian peopie, steeped in guilt, not toreform, but to consummate its-wickedness by such hideous barbarism as only the most inbuman tyrants have over attempted? The worst possible of infidels, do you affirm that a wise and powergul nation ia sate only when it sinks below the Jevel of savage Ife to clutch a coward’s peace by sweeping every man, woman and child of this insignificant race in blood from our pathy Wise men iaugh at such timid folly; brave mon despise it, They know that fair play is the best teacher and juatice always a sufficient shield. DOES SUERMAN MISREPRESENT THE ARMY? If, naced, this is the counsel you give from your high place then, for the sake of that Christianity which we profess and that civilization we claim, I wish it understood that one, at least, of your fellow citizens believes that you misrepresent the army, whose best officers have often protested against our heinous in. justice to these wards of the pation, and that you dis- grace the profession of Du Gueseclin, of Bayard and Sir Philip Sidney, disgrace the post which Washington once filled and the uniform that Thomas, Greene and | Hamilton have worn, Your fellow citizen, WENDELL PHILLIPS, THE REAL CUSTER MASSACRE— ANOTHER LETTER FROM WENDELL PHILIPS, To tur Epivor ov thr Bosrox Transcript: — Will you please explain why even your columns talk of the “Custer Massacre??’ The Sioux war, all con- fess, is one that our misconduct provoked. During such a war General Custer has fallen in @ fair fight, simply because the enemy had moro soldierly skill and strategy than Cu had. What kind of war is it, where if we kitl the enemy, it is death; if he kills us it 8 ® massacre? When the farmers of Con- cord ond Lexington, in 1775, shot the British invaders of their villages «was it massacre? When the Southerners mowed us down at Bull Ran and Ball's Blof, there was no talk of massa- ere! When the North paid them in their coin at Get- tysburg and Antietam, there were no columns with staring capitals “Gettysburg Magsucre."’ [know the privilege o| foul words always granted to the weak and tue whipped; but there Is not much self respect im using it. The general use of this abusive term betr the uniairness of the American press. It shows « sciousness that our treatment of the Indian will not | bear t own i be stated in plain wordy Wo try to hide our amy by abusing our victims—according tothe | t by driving him to frenzy, and then punishing | Old Bailey rule, “When yon have no defence, abuse f the plaintiff.” But the word ‘‘massacre” isan upfortunate one for the friends of General Custer to connect just now with name. For there really was, in 1868, a ‘Custer massacre,” when General Custer—a disgrace to his uniform and to the flag he bore-—attacked a peacetal Cheyenne village, near Fort Cobb, whose inhabitants wore either our prisoners | or our guests, dweiling there by our order, At mid. | night, Without the siughtest wuroing, his shouts wake | this quiet settlement, and as the terrified sleepers rnsh | from their buts Custer shoots down scores of women balf asleep, and of unarmed, peaceful men. One of these was Moxetavata, whom Chevalier Bay- | ard and Sir Puilip Sidaey would asa brother. ‘This was the real “Custer massacre, grbich the press | shen proclaimed a ‘brilliant victory,’ In 1807, Governor, afterward President, Harzison said ‘The utinost efforts to induce the Indians to take up arms would be unavailing if one only of the many persons who bave committed murder upon heir | People could be brought to punishment,” That this is as true now as 1 1807, we have the evi- | dence o: Major General Harney and Major General Pope, olfered within the last two years, Yours. WiESDELL PHILLIPS, A SENSIBLE VIEW OF THE SOUTH- ERN QUESTION. [From the Richmond Whig.) This Hamburg trouble in South Carolina and many ; other things of recent occurrence at different points in the South admonish us that if wo would not suflera | fatal loss of votes at the North we must by some means | silence or unioad the men who are committing these | acts and making this bad record, for which the con- servative party of the South is held responsible, We can answer for the great mass of the Southern people that they are peaceably inclined and desire to be kind and friendly im their intercourse with and treatment of the colored people; but, unfortunately, there are a few | bad men in every community, ignorant aud wicked, | generally desperate in fortune and wholly worthless in character, who delight in just such scenes as that re- contly enacted ut Hamburg, and the muisiortune 1s that puvhoe opinion is not outspoken enough to dis- | courage these, bad men from such acts against the | weak, while too often the conduct of the negroes them. | selves, set on no doubt by rascaily white men or the evil disposed and turbulent of their own race, i8 such as Lo exasperate an entire community to such an ex- | tent that the Cesperate characters tako advantage of | the momentary excitement to perpetrate a the people aro prompt to repudiate the ne: but are powerless at the time to prevent, moment, This as tbe history of ali these negro disturbances throughout the South, They are generally causeless and could be wholly prevented if tne better citizens would set their laces against all acts of violence and give the evil dis- posed among them to understand that the peace must be kept, aud all men, regardless of race or condition, protected in the full enjoyment of all their rights under the law, Iv is ridiculous to say that the people cannot keep the peace, We know that in some of tho States the authority is in the bands of the biacks, and the white people might with come show of reuson stirk all responsibility; but is that the proper course? We think not, It is to their, own intorest not only in the present, but in the iuture, ‘that law and order shouid prevail, and as they have all the | moral force, all the wealth that is lett und all the in- | teligence, they ought to be able to so shapo matters that they can control and keep in check tho mere brute elements of their society, no matter whether they bo ina numerical majority or not The world at largo will undoubtedly take this view of the matter iu con- sidering our condition, and will wonder why the vir- tuous, moral and invellectual elements in our society | Canno® direct affairs to suit themselves and assume the | Control of the ignorant and unbecile herd. We cannot | avoid this criticism, The white race isin every ro- spect tho strongest in the South, and to it the country | will look for the maintenance of peace and good order and for the prevention ol theso outbreaks among the | lower orders. We owe it to our democratic friends at the North, who are doing ail they can for the re rn tion of good government and for the relief of this sec tion from the odious ruie to which it has been sub- jected, that we should do ail in our power to strengthen them ana upbold their hands, aud wo can best effect this by Keeping our roughs and rowdies down and our fools silent. We must yet rid of these enfans lerrible, either by sending them to bed or unloading them and Tepudiating all responsibility for their acts and utter. ances, refusing even to apologize for or conceal their wicked and inexcusable crimes. We cannot carry tho dead weight of these repeated outrages in Mississippi, Louisiana and South Carolina, and hope to win the election thus bandicappeé, and it wero better far that we should give up all hope of those Staies, as we have of some others, than that we should ran tho risk of losing Northern Slates by becoming responsible for such acts as this recently perpe- trased at Hamburg, and tor the silly utterances of cross-road papers, whose editors are never so de- hghted as when venting their wrath over some imagi- nary insult offered them by the Yankees, by wholesale denunciation of triend and foe alike in that section. With proper means adopted to keep this rowdyish clement in ils place and the practice of x little common | sense by our people and press in their daily conversa- | Uon and stylo of utterance our prospects would im- | prove wonderfully in the North, and there would be ho fear of our ability to carry a suilicient nutnver of electoral votes in that section to secure the election of the democratic candidates; but if we permit these wild madmen to rage and bl f and get up riots or in- Vite the negroes to inaugurate them that they may have the pleasure of putting them down, Morton's crimson bauner will triumph in spite of bs, and wo shull jose every Northern State—and that, too, with- out in the least ameliorating our condition or advanc- ing our intereat in the South. —Let_us be wise in time and stop all this nonsense ut once, DISTRESS IN SWITZERLAND. AN APPEAL MADE TO AMERICA FOR ASSIST- ANCE. Zericu, SwitzerRuann, July 1, 1876, fo Tue Eprror or Ti Heravp:— May I not, through tho columns of the Heratp, call the attention of our people to the fact that Switzerland has been devastated by another disastrous flood. Uer- tain sections of the country are in great distress, Not only are the crops Jost, bat in hundreds of cases the fields have been buried in gravel and sand, unfitting them for cultivation for years to come, Houses and factories havo becn swept away, vineyards have beon torn out, root and branch; railways raimed for long stretches of miles, and the public highways and passes so damaged as to be often totally unfit for use. Tho Joss of life to be added to the mournfal list of misfor- | tunes, though not great, is st:ll considerable, Tne dis- | tricts that have suffered most by this disastrous flood | are the cantons ot Zurich, Pnurgovie and St. Gall. In these sections the rivers and jakes rose within tho space Of three days to a height unheard of in tho an- nals of the country. Brooks became rivers and rivers turned into lakes, = « Whole valieys in canton Thurgovie were under water, and the inhabitants, were forced to fly from their | houses tu the night ahd seek refuge oa the neighbor- ing bilis and mountains, Small ri mount toa point thirty fee What the result would be t lieys crowded+with villages and cultivated farms 1 to imagine, |. Lake Zurich overilowed everything on its immediate banks and invaded the lower parts of the city.’ The | flag was even higher tian in the memorable flood of 186 Details of the damage done are not yet collected, but caretul experts esiimate the loss as approaching 090,000 francs. Zurich Canton alone sullers to the amount of seven or more wiliions. Some railways | have been permanently crippled, as the damage done Wwiil require too great au outlay to make it possible to ww now. The farmers and villagers in the imme- diate vicinity of the floods are simply ruined. ‘They have their halt ruined ands and water soaked houses left, but nothing more. They have no food and no employment. The country has been called on for help and thousands have ree sponded, still the amount possible to be raised among so comparatively small a population cannot bo adequate to tho demands, faxes will be lovied; still this even cannot be sufficient to relieve the poor from the severe disaster, I think were Americans to know the fearful extent of the distress caused to the poor of Switzerland by this flood, they would not hesitate to exiend the helping hand. When Chicago was burning up no people abrond re- sponded more nobly to our call for belp than the in- habitants of there very districts now in distress, Lot Americans remember Chicage, und let tuem not forget those who made sacrifices to neip Chicago and who are now in their own hour of need. 8.

BKISTOW, EXPLANATION OF STEINWAY & SONS. New York, July 18, 1876 To the Epitor ov THe HERALD: We read in your issue of Sunday last » communica- tio from your special correspondent tn Philadelphia, headed “Flagrant Charges Against the Judges im the Pianoforte Department,” based upon the ex-parte state- ment of an insignificant piano manufacturing company | | in Philadelptla, in which Mr. Julius Scbtedmayer, of Germany; Mr. Kupka, of Austria, and Mr. George F. Bristow, of the United States, three members of the jury on 1usical instruments, are ebarged with conduct unbecoming the high character of their office, and while other piano manufacturers, who, for reasons best known to with Messrs. Bristuw way 15 singled out 10 conne Schiedmaye Knowing, as we do, the natural anxiety that a small con- cern, hitherto unknown beyond the limits of Chestnut street, Philadelphia, must naturally have to force itself into notoriety by a controversy with us, we would not have replied to (heir unfounded and utterly mdiculous charges against us had they not appearcd iu so influential and widely read a journal as the HeraLp. It 1s not our purpose to defend the members ol the jury or the other Pianomakers whose alleged transactions ate so severely criticised by your correspondent; wo intend strictly to conflue ourselves to the charges brought against our firm, which are briefly as follows: — First—That ‘At ts believed by many that Mr. Scbted- mayer’s appointment at Philadelphia was procured mainly for the purpose of taking advantage of his pref- orences and to render moro certain a favorable report for the Steinway piauo.’’ Second-—That ‘Mr, Schiedmayer is said to be the pri- vate agent of the Steinways in Europe.’? Third—That “Mr, Schiedmayer'’s pianos aro copied after those of the Steinways and are declared to be made after a scale furnished by them,’ ‘These charges, one and ail, are as absurd as they aro untrue, AS regards the first, the {act that the German government, known for the extreme care with which It solects its representatives, should have appoinced Mr Schiedmayer a juror at whe London Exhibition, 1862, in Paris, 167, in Vienna in 1873 (where, by the way, we did- not exhibit at all), aud iu Philadelphia in 1876, 18 surely of itseli sufficient proof that his appointment was not procured to “render more certain a favorable report for the Steimway piano,” uniess our firm be credited not only with the ability of influencing the piano trade, but the politics of the worid. With respect to the second charge, we beg to say that Mr. Schicdmayer is hot only not our agent, but that ko is ono of the lurgest | manulacturers of pianos and organs in Germany, and | as such our active competitor in the European, South American and Canadian markets, In this connection wo may add that the idea that a iman like Mr. Schied- mayer, who 1s millionnaire, with a most honorable business careor of forty years’ standing at his back, of unsullied reputation, combined with a practical knowiedge of the history of the pianoforte and every existing system of its construction aud mechanism, and with the practical valuo of every purported inven tion, that such a man should be unworthily influenced or ‘dream for oue moment of making an | “independent — fortune”? out. «of aaa local pranoiorte factory that ho could buy up with a single year’s income, is simply ridiculous. ‘The third and last charge would ‘er havo been made were this President of a Philadelphia piano company a practical piano maker. If so, be would have known that, although Mr. Schicdmayer’s instruments are generally constructed on the Steinway system (which, by the by, 18 also the case with his own), there are many and essential points of difference in size. shape and construction betwoen them and those of our make. In conclusion ullow us to say that the fact that this piano company havo not brought any specific chargos (though asked to do s0 by the Centennial Commission fully six weeks ago), until now, and then only through & newspaper correspondent, when the jury has con- cluded its labors aud dispersed and the Contennial Commission have adjourned until September 6, to- gether with the further fact that the same people created a similar nowspaper controversy at u late local fair of the Franklin Institate, Philadelphia, will, prob- ably, sufliciently stow the animus of the attack. ‘Thanking you for your courtesy in according us so much space in your valuabie journal, we remain, vory rospectiully, STEINWAY & SONS, REAL ESTATE.

M. Pattee. Ho was formerly the manager of the Omaba Temple Lottery, which was known a few years ago as ayiganticfraud, Mr. Pattoo SENT OUT TEN THOUSAND CIRCULARS through tLe mails.

Read, he flooded the country with circulars, recommending purchasers of tickets to seud money by express. THE LOTTERY MEN EXCITED. This action of the New York Postmaster stirred up the lottery men to action and they proceeded to Wash- ington and made complaint to the Postinaster General, Instead of sending open circulars they sent letters through the mails, wMfich ina great measure enabled them to continuo the business. ‘The Postmaster come municated with tho Washington authorities, and Con- grees took tne matter in Nand.

THY LOTTERIES AFFECTED by this most materially are the Wyoming and Ken- tucky State Lottery, the Louisiana State Lottery, the Havana Lottery of the Isiand of Cuba, and the Ken- tucky Cash Distribution Company.
