THEINnIAN MAR sMINnLE

Senator Trumbull, since his return from
the late Senatorial excursion to the Indian
country, states that the war isalmost pareiy
one of the contractors and those in their
interests. There are no large bands of or
ganized Indians in the field representing
the tribes of these people. There may be
small predatory bands, as is always the
case, but even the outrages committed by
these latter are much exaggerated and in
many instances pure fabrications. At the
end of the railroad line crowd Of white
men, contractors and their employees,
gamblers and others, surrounded the car in
which General Sherman was, and demanded
that he or the government should offer. a
reward for Indians scalps. The General
refused to countenance such barbarity, and
was actually insulted by the crowd of CON-
ardly rufians around him.
A Washington special to the New York
Tribune says:
Senator Henderson, chairman of the
Indian Committee, who has been out on
the plains with Gen. Hancock, says half
the reports concerning Indian depredations
are false, gotten mp to make money by
putting the government TO cost. 1t cost
the government in 1865 $29, 900, 900 to
carry on the Indian war, and 100000
alone was paid one firm on the Kansas
border for the transportation of parties
whom TIE newspapers call escorts and
traders are engaged in provoking the In
dians 10 hostilities"

Of the citizens Of Tennessee have com
pied with the requirements laid down

by the present editor of the Press and

in demanding that they be disfranchised

tsry commander at FL Psso has disregarded
the laws Of Texas, and denied her officers
in that county their right to execute the
laws Of the State; that he refused to re-
cognize the officers appointed by Governor
Hamilton; that he appointed justices Of
the peace, empowered them to render
judgments and issue executions without
stay of execution, which the laws
of the State secure TO debtors, and
under those executions property was sold
to the great injury Of many persons in that
county under the authority Of the military
the Justices jurisdiction was unlimited IN
actions of debt, when under the law of the
State the limit is $500. The memoralists
further say that when an election of State
officers was ordered, man named Bacon
was the military candidate, and was elected,
although he was both untitled by learning
and the requirement of the law that any
man must be four years citizen of the
State before he can be Judge. For
these and other reasons, the Legis-
Iature abolished the judicial districts, but
the military commanders have revived
them. In conclusion. the memorialists say,
to show how utterly regardless the United
States authorities have been Of the rights
Of the people in that part of Texas, it is
alleged that since the war closed the pro-
perty of the citizens of FL Paso county,
Texas, has been libeIled in the United
States District Court of New Mexico that

The DISTINGUISHED people of this city

New ORLEANS, June 19.-Gen. Griffin
and Gen. Reynolds, of Texas, reported to
Gen. Sheridan that Judge Rives, Of the
ninth judicial district of that State, in a
charge to the grand jury of the court, stated
that he should not receive the testimony of
negroes, as the laws Of Congress on the sub
iecf were unconstitutional, and he therefore
defed them. They also report the same
fact against Judge Doherty, who stated in
the headquarters of Gen. Reynolds that, as
regards the testimony Of negroes, he would
not recognize the law or authority of Con-
gress, and will be bound only to the sover-
sign State of Texas. Reports Of like
character are coming in almost daily from
different sections Of the State.
Gov. Flanders, of Louisiana, on Thurs
day, decided that all persons appointed to
Office by him must, in addition to the oatn
prescribed by the State laws, take and
subscribe to that promulgated In the con-
stiiutional amendment and. sought 10 DC

has appointed three new State dlrecsors
