Of these reports from Washington, says:
PRESIDENT PIERCE AND GOVERNOR Goa
MAN.-The Washington Star, a semi official or
gan Of the Administration, contradcts the state
ment made by some Washington letter writers re-
speeding the alleged unfriendliness Of President
Pierce to Governor German, Of Minnesota. The
Governors course has made HIM enemies among
those who act as if Indians lived only for their
special benefit. The Governor thinks they are
human beings and as such have rights which
should be respected. 1t would have been strange
if President Pierce should think the less Of his
friend for entertaining such ideas.

pending upon the political action Of the national
