that can reach these cases. II has none
other than legislative power, touching
these matters, which in It's nature cam
not be retrospective. The corrective iii
such eases, is coniided by the insti-
tutiens of the country TO the Chief
Magistrate, aud TO that department of
the government, would their complaints,
perhaps, have been most properly adj
dressed.
There is another view of the subject.
10 which the committee have not been III
attentive. II has been considered lit oc-
casion, to look into the laws governing
the navy, IN order TO discover whether
any defects exist which may require leg
isla;ive correction. Your committee have
dOue so. aud on examination, are OF ~
pinion, that no Legislative proceedings are
necessary AT this time. The rules and
regulations for the government of the ma
w now in force, are those under which
il has grown up and acquired rcpnta-
ton for discipline and efficiency which
your committee believe is not surpassed
by any similar establishment. In this
state of things, they are Of opinion, that
the causes of complaint, IT any, are not m
the laws, but in The administration of the
laws. As II regards the marines, des-
crlption OF force most necessary and use
ful, and which merits the fostering and
protecting care of the government. the
committee, on examination, find that they
are subject TO do duty afioat and on
shore, as the executive, at his discretion,
may direct; and tllatthey are governed
by the same rules and articles OF war, as
are prescribed for the military establish
ment. and by the rules for The navy, here
totore, or which shall be established by
law, according TO the nature of the service
III which they shall be employed" The
committee know no footing more proper
on which 10 place the marines, than that
on which the law has already placed
them. Were new rules now to be pre-
scrlbed for their government and protec-
iion, il is believed that none other ought
ts be prescribed than those which now
exist. Your committee therefore repeat,
thar in their opinion, the defect, if any,
is not i'll the law, but in its execution
Viewing, then, the subjects referred to
them i'll all their bearings, feeling the
danger of affecting that discipline which
is the vital principle of all military es-
adjustments; while they would frown
with Indignation on every act which sa-
vorcd of oppression, or of mal-admiuis-
tration, your committee respectfully sub"
nit the following resolution:
Resotred, That the committee on Naval
Affairs be discharged from the further
consideration of the memorial OF the naval
officers of the Mediterranean squadron,
under the rank of commanders, aud OF
the memorial of the officers of the marine
corps, of date the 18th Jan. 1917.

Your committee further report, that they
consider supplying the Indian tribes with such
articles of merchandise as are necessary TO
meet their pressing wants, is not emily an act
OF humanity but sound national pelcy, and
that every measure that would tend TO civiliZe
those savage tribes, ought TO be pursued by
the United States. Your committee are indu-
ced TO believe that nothing IN the power of
government 10 do would have a more direct
tendency to produce this desirable object than
the establishment of schools at convenient and
safe places, amongst those tribes friendly TO
us. Your committee are aware that many
plausible objections may be raised agaiut the
proposed measure but we believe that all
difficulties OH this subject may be surmounted
AMI that the great object may be carried
into practical effect. In the present state of
our country, one ottwo things seems to be ne
ceSSary, either that those sons of the forest
should be moraiized or eXterminated; huma-
nifty would rejoice AT the former, but shrink
with horror from the latter. Put into the
| hands of tLeir children the primmer aud the
| hoe. and they will naturally in time take hold
| OF The plough, and as their minds become en-
| lishiened and expand, the bible will be their
| book, and they will grow up in habits of mora
| MY and industry, leave the chace to those
| whose minds are less cultivated, and become
useful members OF society.
| Great eXertions have of late years been
| made by individuals and missionary societies
! IN Europe and America: schools have been
! established by t10Se humane and benevolent
! societies i'll the Indies, amongst the Hindoos
| ana RottentOts, and Notwithstanding that
| superstition, bigouy and ignorance have
| shrOuded those poole in darkness for ages,
thousands OF them have already yielded TO
| instruction.
| The government has no snch difficulties to
| encounter no bibles or books to translate into
| foreign or other languages only establish
| some English schools: the experiment may be
| tried at cry small expense. The committee
| believe that increasing the number of trading
| posts, and establishing schools on or near our
| frontiers for the education of Indian children,
would be attended with beneficial effects both
TO the United States and the Indian tribes,
| and the hest possible means of securing the
| friendship of those nations in amity with us
! and IN time to bring the hostile tribes TO see
! that their true interest lies III peace aud not
, in war. And therefore the committee report
| a bill.

no intention Of occupying Florida By
