D Indian Bureau Bill.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IL.
The bill for separate departmentof
Indian affairs, with a member Of the
Cabinet at the head of il, introduced
to-day by Senator POmerOy, embraces
the main views of the Indian Peace
Commissioners and the Committee on
Indian Affairs, which now has the
House bill for transfer to the War De-
paTtment under consideration.
The bill cOntemplates fixed Indian
territories. and the abolition of the
distinction of tribes and bands within
each. 1t provides for one department.
four agents and three inspectors for
each. The agents are clothed with
the power of magistrates, and the IN
dams are made competent witnesses.
All of the officers are placed under
heavy bonds, and speedy punishment
is provided for neglect of duty. Super-
intendents are authorized to organize
the Indian militia; to preserve peace
and enable the Indians on application
to become citizens, and contemplates
the political organization of the Terri
tories and the sending of a delegate
to Congress. Also provides an entire
new system Ofintercourse and trading.
and prevents the whites from tres
passing on Indian reservations.
The bill strikes at one great evil by
making h~alf-bIeeds and children legal
heir to the property of their white
father.

The President,s Message.

We have not room nor inclination
to print in full this last Annual Mes
sage of the President. He is again glad
of the opportunity to remind Congress
that be has contrived to keepthe South
disorganized, Notwithstanding the re-
construction laws. And for fear that
Congress has the advantage of
him ia a future contest in the premises,
he hopes that Congress win repeal its
enactments, and thus end the struggle.
And to this end reads the National
Legislator a long copperhead lecture
upon the subject which, when read be-
fore the two Houses, was treated with
that contempt it so richly merited.
He further says, that as Congress is
already familiar with his views upon
the Tenure of Office Bill, they there
fore ought to repeal it. He calls the
attention of Congress to the financial
condition of the country, and thinks
it a shame that we have liberated A.
OOO,O 900 of people from bondage to the
slave driver, only to put them, and
several times as many more, under
new task masters in the shape of bond
holders. He don't like the public debt,
and especially the bonded portion of
it, consequently recommends to the
consideration of Congress the subject
of reputation, as "the holders of our
securities have already received upon
their bonds, a larger amount than
their originalinvestment measured by
a gold standard. Upon this statement
of facts it-would seem but just and eq-
uitable that the six per cent. interest
now paid by the Government, should
be applied to the reduction of the prin-
cipal, thus liquidating the whole debt
in sixteen and two-third years. The
lesson of the past, admOnish the lead
ers that it is not well to be over anx-
ious in exaeting from the narrower, a
rigid compliance with the letter of the
bond" Thus it will be seen that our
President takes advance grounds upon
the subject of Reputation. In this
way he thinks the specie payment
may be resumed at an early day. That
is, so soon as we decide not to pay any
of the just demands, then we may
propose to pay all other indebt-
edness in specie. Surely our President
is making a national reputation as a
wonderful fnancier. Our relations
with the world at large are very cordi-
al and satisfactory, except Paragua
did not like our friendly interference
in her intestine affairs, and nothing is
said about Great Britain.
The President purchased Alaska and
tried to purchase the Islands of st.
John and st. Thomas, and would be
glad to purchase other continental
and insular communities as speedily
as possible still he desires to suppress
all unlawful expeditions of fllibus-
tering, as this is peculiarly a paroga-
tive of the executive.
The President has now done his
duty, and hopes, but does not much
that Congress viii do theirs.
