The Rock Island 4 Moline Union is
greatly distressed in consequence of an IL
lustration of the working of the radical bond
system, made by the Lacrosse Democrat,
and repubEshed in this paper. The object
of the article was to show the effect of the
radical bond system upon bondholders and
laborers, and this it does show. That's
what's the matter with the Jacobin Union.

A HYPOCRITE EXPOSED.

After President johnson removed Stanton
there was a ruInor that he intended to ap-
point Gen. Steadman to the vacancy, where
upon Horace Greeley, in his New York
Is-ibune,said
The appointment of Steadman as secretary of
war monstrous and ridiculous it is intrinsical-
", is perfectly in keeping with Mr.. johnson s
policy, which is always to choose the worst man
in the country for given position. II he could
have found a successor to Mr.. Stanton moro OBJ
noxious to the people and less worthy Of the Of
fee than Steadman, he would inevitably have
chosen him. But that was impossible, Stead
man is the last man in the United States who
ought to be secretary of war, etc.
This raised the dander Of Andrew John
son, and poor Horace was badly taken down
by seeing the following letter he wrote to
President Johnson, in the newspapers:
CONFIDENTIAL.
OFFICE OF TRIBUNE,
New YORK, January %, 1866.
Dear SIR: The journals generally say that Mr..
Stanton has rendered his resignation, and expects
soon to leave the war department.
Should this be the case venture to suggest as
his successor Gen. James B. Steadman, of Ohio,
one of the bravest and truest of our Union volun-
teers, and a capable, devoted patriot. Trusting
that you are aware of his merits. remain yours.
HORACE GREELEY.
Hon. A. JoHSsoN, president.
Horace has been more quiet, since the
above letter appeared in print.
1t is rumored that Dead Duck Forney and
a few other radical scoundrels and hypocrites
win soon be exposed in similar way
Abusing the President in the newspapers,
and writing begging letters soliciting ap-
pointments, and marking them "private," is
business that won't pay large dividends.
Such scoundrels and hypocrites deserve to
be exposed.

The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1867-06-21

FROM the proceedings of the Senate
on 23rd Of February last, as found in
the Congressional Gi0be, we extract the
following:
Mr. HENDERSON, Chairman of the
Committee of Indian Affairs, the lndi-
an Appropriation Bill being under con
-idcra,iOn, offered the following amend
ment:
"tOr feeding about six thousand Nava-
jo Indians, now prisoners ut Fort Sum-
ner, and fed by the military but agreed
to be turned over to the Indian Bureau
whenever the necessary appropriation
j. made, from the LIST of March to the
Both of June, four months, say Sl20,000.
The same from the first of July, 1867,
to the Both Of June. 1868, say $500, ,O00."
Mr.. Henderson explained that the
amendment was offered in The form de-
sired by the Bureau Of Indian Affairs,
that Bureau proposing to take charge of
the Indians in question and relieve the
War Department from their further
control and support. These Navajo In
diuns had been captured by our militia
ry forces several years ago, and removed
from their native region in western New
Mexico, to the eastern side of that Ter
ritOry, and there located upon the BoS-
que trdOnuo reservation, on the Pecos
river. At this latter place they had
been supplied with food and clothing
by the War Department, and had been
Kept under control by troops stationed
at the place.
The cost of the War Department in
connection with Indians in 1864 was
S0.OOOOUU, and in lS6j, was over S2O,-
/ OuO, 900, and this expense for the control
and support of the Navajo Indians, had
constituted part of that expenditure.
4 llc thought the proposition to turn
/ these Indians over to the civil authori-
/ ties, the Indian Department,l was a
GOOD one, rs they could be fed much
cheaper in that way.
! NIF. DOOIITTLE explained the cir.
cumstanccs under which the indians
had been removed to the Bosque Redon-
7 da reservation, the improvementsw which
had been made there to secure the irri
pntjon and cultivation of the earth, and
supported the proposition to transfer the
Indians to the care of the Indian Bu
/ reau upon the ground OF economy
/ While these Indians had been upon the
reservation, the War Department hao
| fed them through the COmmissary Bu
reau, and the actual expense of feeding
and looking after them, had heen
twelve to fifteen hundred thousand dol
lars per annum, besides what had beel
raised out of the ground.
Mr.. SHERMAN submitted some re
marks against the further or permanen
maintenance of these Indians upon III,
reservation.
Mr.. BUCKALEW, Mr.. President
| think that General sherman express
ed i'm his report in November last cor
rect opinion on this subject, when h
said that it was impossible that tn
Government of the United States shoul,
continue feeding these Indians in til
manner in which we have fe
them for the last two or three years, sine
they were taken prisoners ofwar and II
moved from their own section. Now
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1867-06-21

not been bled sufficiently, that enough
of public money has not been poured
out into New Mexico and gone into the
hands Of favorites and of contractors
We ore yet engaged in grave debate tc
determ inc whether this military exper.
iment Is to be continued or not.
General Sherman says in his report,
made last November, that it Is inn
possible to go on with this system; that
if ii is TO be pursued application must be
made to Congress, and n special and
large appropriation for this particular
object must be made; that as lieutenant
general of our armies, and to some ex-
tent responsible for what is taking place,
he is not in favor of diverting tho funds
of the War Department to this object
in such an enormous stream of expen-
diture.
The amendment of the Senator from
Ohio Mr.. SHERMAN continues the
control of the War Department until
the lst of next July. / should like to
terminate it Immediately but it is bet
ter to fix that limitthan to fix no limit
at all and permit this system of abuse to
go on without any check whatever from
Congress. If Congress shall permit it
to go on, it will become just as guilty as
if it had ordered this experiment to be
undertaken originally and had deliber-
ately and willfully maintained and
encouraged it upon full knowledg of all
the facts.
Now, sir, do what any sensible man
would advise you to do; do what was
proposed by good authority in the be-
ginning of this experiment; allow these
men of the mountains and forest to go
back to the place of their former resi-
dence, and supply such protection as
is necessary TO the frontier. In former
times before we acquired New Mexico,
the amount of military force used for
the defense of the inhabitants was quite
small and that we who claim that our
modes of administration are superior to
those which wesupersededin in that county
should fall into such system of abuse
as this and continue it for years. is to me
most surprising. Our outlays upon
this object are not necessary, nor even
useful. On thecontrary, they are waste
ful, improvident, corrupt, and scandal
Gus. Let us end them, and restore the
control of sound sense and the practice
of economy to our administration of
affairs in a distant but interesting Terri |
tory. The amendment, as amended,
was agreed to,
