new trial, viii be argued this morning in
the Criminal Court, by Major Clare and w.
q. Brien for the defendant, and r. L. Ca
ruthers, jr., in behalf of the State. The
case is one Of great interest inasmuch as
the crime committed was most unpardona-
bes il unprovoked. To Justify the muir
der Of n wife by her own husband, will be
a difficult undertaking in Christian com
munity, no matter what provocation may
be alleged 20 have been given. This bloody
tragedy, as detailed In the testimony, is re-
plete with wholesome admonition. On the
trial, the cause was conducted by the coun-
sci for the defense with their accustomed
zeal and ability, and through their able
advocacy, saving the neck of the defend
ant The speech Of young Caruthers was
transcendantly powerful, and has secured
for him a place beside the able5t criminal
advocates in Tennessee. The son promises

THE INDIAN BUREAU.

A bill has passed the House and is now
pending in the Senate, providing for the
rctransler OF the milan Bureau from the
Interior Department, back to the War
Department, where it originally belonged.
This transfer from the military branch Of
the government TO civil branch must
always have been of at least doubtful
proprieiy. The experiment was made
and with the most unsatisfactory results.
But "A military supervision over the In
dlans, is now regarded, by those best
qualified to JUICE, as more than ever i'm
pDrtant The reasons urged are these
When the faith Of treal;e4, sulemnly enter
ed into with the Indians, is wantonly
violated by minors and adventures. as is
often done, civil agents are utterly power
less to prevent the violation on the one
hand, and the retaliation of the Indians
on the other. Ag'in, civilians who are
licensed to trade with the Inlians, uni
tor.nly pursue the traffic solely for the
sake OF profit, and their privileges arc
abused, while the United States would
only need to be reimbursed, and the work
would then be done lrgilimatcly. And
further, civil officers are not usually re
s2ected by the Tribe, but they fear and
regard the military, and will submit to
heir counsels, advice and dictation, when
they will not listen TO civil agent. These
reasons seem to be sufficient. We need
all the protection to our citizens that the
power and prestige of the military can
afford. The transfer Of the Indian bureau
to the War Department would at once
eImiu te from our Indian system the
formidable army ofsupcrintcnlents, agents,
sub-ngcnts, jobbcr>, contractors and hang
crs on, who now infcst the frontier, and
bring harmony which can never exist
while there is n joint jurisdiction and a
divided responsibility, and, i is thought,
