Tapa, INDIAN AND , ^^XJJOX, AB TUB SOUTH.- President Grant aeems to h?te beau .a good doa! interviewed lately, and on one bf these occasions ia rfcpresontod to ha Va expressed' views In relation to the Indiana which oortainly indicate good sense and humanity," He Sbys be has lived with Indiana and knows them thoroughly; that they ono be civi? lized and made friends o? tho republic, "Hie attack on tho Apaches he pro? noun oas murder, and promises to invcfl* tig&te.the, matter. The oitizjena .?ot' the outlying States >?n? Territories, in his opinion, ought to bo ?bl?'to settlo tho Indiin question without miling on the Government". Goa. .'. Gran; say? .th,? Qpakers and other denominations' bi Ohriatiuna are labor lng witii'e^Tcot qmong the Indians. And- ho then adds: *'I don't like riding over and shooting tbeso poor savages. I want to conciliate them and mako thom peaceful citizens, -..The policy of peace, sir, isjnuoh, preferable to tho policy of war. Yon can't thrash people so that they witf love' yon, oven thoughthey, are Indians. Yon, however, make .onemipa friendly by kindness." All whioh ia palpably true, and if Gen. Grant will apply it to tho Southern States he will hud ; it .more potent than Ka Klux bills. Sven the Britishers have not proved impervious to the policy of conciliation, aa Goa; Grant has seen in the negotiation of the late treaty. ' Why, then, should Southern white men? - HOBAOB GREELEY; ON TH? SOUTHERN WHITES.-Mr. Greeley's last lotter is from Memphis, and it discusses- tho con? ditio? Sf tho white people o? tho South, n precious lcttcrh?viug been devoted, to the* blacks. Like every thing ciao that comes from the pen of Mr. Greeley, his Vio>s in this cafee, saya ?he Savannah, Qa.'^Sepui/?caH, ?rebntirely tbe?wtfcal. ?She ch ar actor is t?o tho maa ?B t? argue all ajustions and^orm'nll opinions' upon wha^h& fancy muy" ougg'eat ios tiro-philo? sophy of the case, with hot little regard to actoal stubborn' focta. . In Ulis letter he contends that* Iwo-.th?rda qf* tho dor? mer slaveholders -of the South are ana-, ions for tho restoration of slavery; though ho conoodcB that, ^uaU a result is a moral impossibility.. The poorer whiles, ho a?ys, AS , epnt^ad^tingu^hi;drtfrom ? the ar is tocra ?io, classes, have risen in wealth, industry and dignity nuder the iufluence of emancipation... He then proceeds to discuss the political condition and pros-' peo ts of the South, as. follows, dosing with BOH?O complimentary remarks upon Clio cucrgy and courage with .which our people have proceeded to the work Of KOonBtruotiug,their ?fortunes^ That those .who- struggled and fought mr secession generally believe they wore night in so. doing, I oaii'not doubly je(r ferson Davis' late speech fairly expresses their average convictions and feelings. But, while they still .affirm the,right of, secession, I am satisfied that a majority' of them believe ita practical assertion was unwise ?nd inexpedient. They hold that they should have made their late tjproggle in the Union and not against it -under tho flag of our fathora, and not that of tho stars and bars-in ostensible defence of the Federal Constitution, not in resistance to its authority. They pro? pose to-renew the fight, but not with gun and sabre. They expect to regain as Democrats, through elections, the powor they lost aa rebels through war. They herein eviuce that wisdom which profits by the lessons of experi? ence. Here and there a hot head may talk of renewing, at some more auspi? cious season, tho struggle for an inde? pendent oonfederaoy; but the great ma? jority have had- enough of war. I foel s iro that another Sonthern secession is all bat impossible. ' ' _ . And, while a bitter spirit is cherished by many, I fool .sure that the number who acquiosoe, if they do not absol ltuly ?joice, in the restoration of tho Union is daily increasing. Thousands hato tho "carpet-baggers," with their alleged cor ?uptioos and spoliations, who protest that they do not hate tho Union. They persist in a clamor against what they call "nigger equality," (bot which means negro enfranchisement, 'negro educa? tion.) whioh precludes their swaying tho negro vote aa they otherwise might and would; but they will seek to coerce enough of it into voting the* Democratic fcickot to give them a majority of tho Southern electoral votes for next Presi - dent. Bot the blacks grow year by year moro indopondeci in fact as well ns feel? ing; and it will neither ho easy nor safe . to repoat'tho terrorism whereby Georgia and Louisiana woro mudo to voto for Seymour in. 1868. Should tho South show an anti-Republican majority in 1872, it'will be a consequence of injudi? cious appointments and' removals, of actual or reputed prodigality in legisla? tion br ia office, or of terrorism or con? straint exorcised over tho voters, and not a decision of the people on the ques? tions which vitally difference tho two partios. - . -.-..?> PATRIOTIC AND TRUE.-Tho Fourth of July in Richmond, Ya., is to he glori lied by a tournament, under tho auspices of tibe Knights of Pythias^and exorcises of tho S.
