WAsn1SaroN. AUGUST la. ]


The outrages and violations OF treaty
stipulations INDUCED in by the Indians is
a subject which is just now attracting much
Of the attention Of the Government, ana
will without doubt eventuate IN the trans
fer, next winter, Of the Indian Bureau from
the Interior to the War Department. The
recent outraces are regarded by the Indian
Bureau authorities here as exaggerated by
newspaper correspondents; but ether par
ties, eouslly as well informed, persist in
stating that they are not only correct, but
that the Government is apt to have much
serious trouble with the red skins before
the fall is over. A large army is needed
on the plains and in the Sicinities of the
Pacific railroad route, and it would be just
as we'll to take them from the southern
States where they are not required, and
send them to protect settlers on the western
plains. The War Department will have to
restore the quiet and order that the Indian
Bureau is inadequate to preserve.
Applications continue to be sent to Sec
Rotary Schofeld from the governors OF
southern States, asking for arms to furnish
TO militia organizations of those States IN
which the reconstruction law is not now
supposed to be in operation. Their COVER
nors do not keep in mind the fact it would be
contrary to l.w should General Schofeid
consider their applications favorably, as 1t
would be in direct conflict with the section
of the act making appropriations Tor the
army which required the disarmament or
the militia then organized and forbid fur
Their organization until authorized by Con-
press in all of the southern States except
ing Tennessee.
There is considerable hesitation by the
Secretary of the Treasury in responding to
the nominations made by Commissioner Rol-
Inns of the supervisory officers under the new
revenue law. Rollins, before going away
on his recent tour to New Hampshire, sent
over thirteen nominations for the positions,
and MS yet there has been no action taken
on them. The names have been kept Sc
cret, MS it was desirable that the parties
should not have either their friends or
opponents here working for or against their
appointment. McCulloch is not satisfied
with Rollins's nominations, but dislikes to
reject them, and is waiting for the latter to
withdraw some of the names. There IS
likely to be hitch, however, as from fire.
queEt interviews between the two officials
il has been made evident that the subject
is one upon which they cannot possibly
agree.
No better evidence is needed to prove
that the present Presidential contest is to
be conducted throughout upon the EXTREMIST
principles of both parties than the fact that
the nominations for Congressional and State
ofiicers-particularly OF the Radical party
are men who have all along been identified
with the most advanced of the sentiments
held by their party. The Radicals are nov
blowing considerably over what they will
do in Maine; but reports from that section
to leading Democrats do not indicate any
nervousness. That they aoiR carry Maine
is conceded but at the same time it will
take hard work to do it, and the vigor with
which their leading men are running the
canvass in that State shows conclusively
that they recognize this fact.
Notwithstanding the absurdity of the
speculations, aud the long way ahead of its
reference, it may not be uninteresting to
state that some Of the more enthusiastic
Grant men have on their Cabinet slate pro-
vided places both for Seward and Eyarts,
who are to be made useful--if the opportu-
mites occur-in their present locations.
