The Indian Question. ColoDel Elwell S. Otis, in liis recent book, in a chapter on "The Indian tjuestlan," discusses the subject of Indian control and im provement. The care of the In dian is no longer a problem for philanthropists; the territory now occupied by him must aud will be occupied by white men, aud the red man must yield to necessity he must cease to roam. The United State? must abridge his territory, localize, control aud improve him. Oar treaty system, the tribal si mo tores, reservations and trade have destroyed individual responsibility and Increased corruption. It has been and is impossible to live up to our treaty stipulations. We oannot keep the white race and the red man separated. We must Invent some new system of con trol, and we must do it quickly. The progress of civilization cannot longer be retarded. The Indian himself oanuot exist much longer as a hunter of game, for game is becoming scarce. Tiie necessities of all parties require that the In dians shall be permanently locat ed, either as individuals or tribes, and tbat tbey shall bo compelled to conform to the laws of the laud. They must be compelled to work; hereafter their food must be ob- tamed through agriculture. These things must and will be done, and mere sentiment is out of the ques tion. How shall we localize, con trol and improve the Indians? We cannot adopt a system dependent for Its success upon the incliun tlon of the Indian. Whatever sys tem we adopt will be fouud to lie expensive and trou blesome. Foic; must be used. Heretofore we have used force only in self-defense; now we must ufco it for control and im provement. We must force them into proper localities and keep them thera by force. 'I he ludiau will learn nothing until he knows tbat he must learn or starve. Let them know that tbey wilt be driv en back to their localities, when ever they wander abros'i, and I hey ! Will lake some interest in iheii homes. L"t them pay the penally ' of lawlessness in blood. They ; must be taught the great funda mental law of civilization, obed ience and self-reslraiut. They will acquire these virtues through a present controlling power. Crim inal laws must be extended over them, so that they may acquire a sense of individual responsibility. Just laws must bo executed with unflinching fidelity. We need uot Improve at once our whole crim inal code. To accomplish this pur pose we must abaudon tbe old fic tion about Indiau treaties. The sentimentalists must cease to prat tle of tribes and treaties. The na tion's faith is not really pledged to a system which canuet be carried out. Manifest necessity repeals all " treaties and places the Indians un der the absolute control of the Gov ernment without their consent. We cannot abolish the old coudi tlone by bargains; it would cost too much. The Government holds '■c ultimate fee in all lauds, and i the right to exercise the right eminent domain. In fact, the tribes with which we made treat ies no longer exist—their sover eignty is gone, and treaties have gone with it. They are in theory and faot responsible to law. The Indians will, uo doubt, resist all restrictions, but they must be forced to submit. Compulsory education and industry must he exacted. Definite portions of lan I nm>t be assigned to families and individu a's. The amount of actual gifts must be determined by absolute ueoesslty. The success of those rad ical maaaures will demand vigor, ability and integrity of adminis tration. The ouly question left for discussion is: Hi* shall the Indian be converte 1 into a law-abiding, self-supporting member or society ? It may not be expedient to apply this system lo all the tribes at once; it will be sufficient to begin with . the hostile tribes. The scheme will for a while be more expensive than the agency system, but it will bj economical lv the "Wjel. It will not be sale to gather tho Indians upon one or two large res ervations— thjy m nt be scattered. And it will ba well if they can be placed near a settled white popula tion and in em ill bands. Trial by jury should be established among tbem, aud all the political usages of our people should ba enforced as rapidly as possible. Territorial and State Courts should lake cogni zance uf crimes. The amount of land to be giveu to each family should depend upon circumstances. After this system has been applied for a few years, experience will lead lo further enlightenment. Colonel Otis applies commou sense to the solution of the Indiau prob lem. And, as we have often re marked, this plan must bo adopted aud vigorously pursued, or we must exterminate tlie Indian by force. Tbe nation caii'jot longer tolerate tbe present policy. Equal Taxation. We publish the following utter ances conceiving them to be just, wise aud opportune. They treat a subject which is being agitated in our Stato. The solution of the qusstions It involves will material ly affect the welfare of our people: Just and equal taxation to which a tax-pßyer cau give hi* absent through iiis representatives In the legislative assembly, or In tlie town or municipality, is one or tlie most vital of all liberties in the State. Taxation without repre sentation is a gross violation oi rights. Tho danger .also, of ine quality of taxation is very great, greater in a demi eratlo couuiry than in almost any other, greater where an universal suffrage has gained a footing than in athel democracies. There are ootnmuul* ties in the Unitod Stales where oue half or even more of the in come of taxable property is neces sary to pay Ihe taxes. In view of the abuses or opportunities of op pressing the tax-paying inbabi tantsofa (State or town, It may well be suld lhat it is contrary to the spin l of our liberties that those who have no taxes lo pay should have Ihe right of votlug ou the budgets of towns or cities. This would be in times of c irruption a most terrible weapon iv (he hands of demagogues for revenging them selves on tho wealthy und getting tbe aid of the lowest people. There ought to be limits of rates beyond which no city authorities ortowu meetingshould have power to go without at least special per mission of the legislature; und limits, also, beyond which a legis lature should have no power to en hance the Hate tux wi'hout a very decisive vote, say of three quar ters of the members. Besides, a limitation should exist on the power of borrowing money. It Is still more just that there should be no exemptions, no untaxable prop erty—a rule against which numer ous offences iv time past have been committed. Thus it lias beeu not unusual to charter a bank paying a bonus to (he State, to put the rate of taxation ou bonds of rail road companies lower than ou other property in order to encour age the Construction of such works, aud to exempt funds given fir eleemosynary purposes, church property, the funds of academies, &c, from taxation. This last ex emption is far more desirable than most others, as it relieves tho poor from a considerable burden, and for tbe most purt only changes the Hat of articles taxhl, while the same persons upon the whole pay tbe same amouuts. But perhaps the rule of taxing all property, ex cept tbat owned by the govern ment or minor communities,would bo most lust und advisable.

We recognize in you the same right to control rates from that side on freight coming west that you con cede to us on freight from here go ing east, but our idea is that, iu slead of an advance in rates upou the classes of goods mentioned, a reduction would be better and we earnestly recommend that you di rect the withdrawal of the circular.

The pretext invented for this arrangement was that it would bo inconvenient for him to carry home both bags at occe.

Latest Eastern News. MmMwn of ttte x. kbi>r Coaimiuec New York, Aug. 2J.—Tho Con gressional Committee ou Ihe labor question resumed its session this morning. Hewitt presided. Bar tholmey, Chairman of the Social Democratic parly, resumed his testimony. He said that times are worse now titan in 1870. The non producer now receive! eight times as much as the producer. He was a piano maker und in iuilatcd times his wages did not go up hut after tlie panic fell 20 per cent. He urged the establishment ot a labor bureau similar to that in Massa chusetts atid that no politician should be allowed to have any thing to do with it. He would have no accumulation of capital in private hands, but uuder the con trol the Government for tbe ben efit of the people. In this State of Boclcty (here would bo no desire among workingmen to accumulate, as they would be sure of constant employment. Still lie would not pay one man as much wages as an other, but give each a salary or wages equivalent to the amount ami perfection of his woik. The committee questioned Ilar tholmey on the practical working of his system of co operative soci eties, but being unable to answer he was prevailed upon to retire. Isaac Beaoett, a cigar maker, advocated tlie regulation of the use Of machinery, not its destruction. Ho wanted machinery regulated to such an extent that it would not citise the enforced idleness of workmen. Bennett also advocated co-operative societies, but said the cigar makers would not go iuto this co-operative system at present because they did not have tho means. Hewitt asked—Tliea you do want capita!? Tlie answer was, in part, that the reduction of tlie hours of labor to eight hours per day, Would increase wsges. Boyd, of Illinois—Then would not a reduction of tiie day's labor lo six hours still further increase wages? To this there was no reply. Adolph Douai, of the Socialistic Labor party, next appeared and discussed the land laws of England of an ancient date. He maintained tbat the government ought to pro vide land for every mun and woman iv tlie United States. He claimed that the government should enact a law to prevent men from being forced to labor longer than eight hours a day. At, the afternoon sessiou James Connelly, representing the Nation al Greenback party, ascribed the depression in labor to the bond sys tem, saying tlie people take their money out of manufactories aud invest it In bonds on which they cbtalu Interest. He denounce I railrdad laud giants and thought the government should have built its own The geent means, he declared, to relieve dis tress amoug laboring classes was for the government to assist them to Bettlo on the public lauds and in sure them support until they reaped a harvest.

London, August 2d. -- In the House of Commons this evening, debate on Lord Hartington's reso lution was resumed. Lord Elcho, Conservative, vehemently assailed the opposition, attributing the Ru?so-Turkish war to llieir con duct. VV. E. Fosler, Liberal, at tributed the war to the govern ment's isolating itself from tiie other powers. Like other opposi tion speakers, he based his princi ple nf attack on the Anglo-Turkish Convention, which, he declared, was unconstitutional tn Ihe man ner of its conclusion. O'Deunell, Home Rule, supported the govern* ment, declaring that the opposi tion had not a rag of foreign poli. cy. Tiie debate was continued at length by less known members. At one time as many as thirty op position members rose lo tbeir feet simultaneously. Roebuck said the conduct of the Liberals throughout the crisis had beeu such that he did uot think either himself or Glad stone would live to see them iv power agaiu. Tlio Ueriutii Kleetlnite.

Says the New York correspond ent of iho Cincinnati Gazette: Charles o'Conor never had any children. He married tlio widow McCracken, but the match was not harmonious und they soon separa ted. He continued to occupy his rural place In the suburbs (Wash ington Heights,) while sho had a handsome down town establish ment. Mrs. McCracken died two years ago, leaving a son (Eugeue McCracken), who, at that time, at tracted some notice. He was a fine looking young man, rather a fa vorite, but his health failed, and notwithstanding a trip to Europe it continued to .-ink and he has at lost found a grave in a foreign land. O'Conor is now 76 and feels much like one that is alone in tiie world. He lias outlived his former rivals at Ihe bar a nil also those members of the bench before whom he won fame. There is uot a man left of all that legal circle into which he entered as a young and ambitious lawyer. Among the Judges before whom he has argued were Irving, Edwards, Morris, Lansing, nnd so down to Noah Davis, who presided as the trial of tlie parlclde Wal worth. The most remarkable man in all this array of legal talent was Thomas Addis Emmet, brother of the Irish patriot, whose Centennial birthday anniversary lias just been celebrated. He carao lo America the year his biother was so unjust ly executed, and became the mOBt brilliant member of the New York bar. After a successful career of twenty-three years, while pleading iv Court, lie fell a victim to sudden apoplexy and died in ten hours. O'Conor was tht n just coming into practice and can vividly rtcall this incident. The Louisville Courier Journal paragrophs thus: It seems to me tbat I've got "tlie heated term." — [R. B.

Little Phii's fearlessoouduct in New Orleans,when he gallantly telegraphed "I am not afraid," has endeared him to the "greatest liv ing American." That was bold language, and for the time, quite eclipsed even the memorable order of Gen. Dix to the peaceful nnd in offensive Department clerk, "If any man hauls down," etc. A certain Eastern parson, who was also a school teacher, banded a problem to his class in mathemat ics the other day. The first boy took it, looked nt it awhile and said: "I pass." Second boy took It, and said: "Iturn It down." The third hoy looked nt it a while, and drawled out: "I can't make it." " Very good, boys," said the parson, "wo will cut for a new deal," and the switclt danced like lightning over the shoulders of those depraved youngsters. Marshal MacMahon's steward is said to have made a frightful mess of the bill of fare prepared for a banquet at which tlio Archduke Albert of Austria was an honored guest.
