Movements of General Hazem, the Iuslian Su.
Observation-Disclosures and Condition Of the
Tribes.
Brevet Major General William B. Hazen colonel
Sixth United States infantry and Superintendent OF
the tribes OF the Southern plains who arrived In this
city several days since Will leave here this evening
for New York. During his stay at the national capt.
tai General Hazen has been In frequent intercourse
with the President and General Sherman upon the
Indian question. and will return to his Jurisdi ction
in the Indian Territory with ample powers
and facilities for carrying out the new policy OF In
dian administration. The General reports that one
thousand acres OF land upon Medicine Bluff creek
have already been put under the plough but by
hired labor Small patches have been set apart for
the indians, and on effort Is Deing made TO encour.
age them in continuing in the work they have COM
menced and by degrees bring them to fendness
for the proposed condition Of life. The Indians that
have thus settled down show as yet no other indi-
cations than OF contenment. but whether this will
last remains to be seen. The Cheyennes, who for
the past 1Our months have been promising to come
In TO Medicine Bluffs and give up, have not yet made
their appearance and as the season advances the
prospects become less favorable. Several OF the
bands OF the Arapahoes have gone to their reserva-
tion on the Arkansas. There is considerable diner
ence Of opinion as regards the question OF peace
or war. The fact OF the Cheyennes, portion Of the
ArapahOes and Comanches remaining out looks
like war; and in this the people OF the plains agree
though The General himself does not agree III this
conclusion. From New York the General will pro-
ceed to Fort Riley, and thence, with escort, will
start for Medicine Bluff creek, 400 miles SOUTH by
tbe goth Of the present month.
Case Of the Negro Printer D0uglass-The Ty.
biographical Union 10 Consider the Subject
Tonight. - 49, ~ - - 77'''-r1Tar
The Columbia Typographical Union will hold a
meeting tomorrow night at the City Hall to take
some action regarding the case Of Douglass, the
colored printer, now employed in the government
printing office. II is generally believed that the
Union will reject the proposition to elect Douglass
q member, and that should Superintendent Clapp
then persist in employing him, all the printers at the
government office will make strike and refuse to
work until the unfortunate colored typo Is repudi-
ated. Mr.. Clapp says he will not yield to any such
dictatiOn, and that II the printers STRIKE he will fill
their places in twentyfour hours with full force Of
competent compositors. Moreover there is another
cause of difficulty. The rules OF the Union demand
that not more than ten apprentices shall be employed
in the government printing Office. Mr. CIapp has
requested the abrogation OF that rule, asserting his
determination to employ Just as many apprentices as
he may see fit, and announcing that, while he does
not oppose the policy OF the printers regulating the
rates of compensation for which they Will work. he
will submit to no dictation as to how otherwise he

Bunk Note Printers "a be Discharged.
About forty bank note printers will be discharged
from the printing division OF the Treasury Depart
ment within few days. The necessity for discharg
ing these workmen is caused by a recent arrange

Treasury. The only printing done here now is the
printing OF bonds and the faces OF the legal tender
notes. The stamping Of the fractional currency,
