John Connolly, nearly sixty years Of age,
only failed Of being murderer by being
too atrocious about it, Ellen Morrison and

down, ;hen kicked and trampled on her
until she became iaseusible then, to com
plete matters, he took buck-saw and de-

pain, however, restored her to conscious
ness and excited her failing strength to
such an extent that she succeeded in es-
coping from the amateur sawbones and
found refuge with neighbor.

and now for the first time made public:
1 may say, in reference to the manage
ment Of Indians, the reservation system is
the only one offering any prospect of sue
cess, but all experience has shown that
the wild Indian will not adopt it until ne
is forced to do SO. All the tribes on the
northern Pacific coast had to be 'subdued
and forced on to the reservations, which
was accomplished between the years 1856
aid 1869, then peace ensued. Latter,y
the same policy has been pursued in regard
to the Camanches, Kiowas, Cheyenues, aud
ABapahoes. After the wild Indians are
put upon the reservations a strong military
force will have to be kept ;here, to protect
the agents and others required in the work
of cultivation, and also for the subordna
tion Of the Indians and their protection
against the encroachnents Of the white set
tiers, who otherwise would take possession
OF their lands.
