OUTRAGES UPON THE INDIAN BIZ
WHITE MEN.


There has been strong suspicion that
many of the acts of violence by the
Indians have been done in retaliation for
injuries inflicted upon them by white
men. Recently proof pretty conclusive
has been obtained upon this point. Mr..
Gibson, the Indian agent at the Usage
agency has addressed letter to Vincent
Colyer, in which he complains of the
outrages committed by white men in
Kansas upon the Indians under his charge.
He states that Indian families who had
built themselves houses, and cultivated
the land, and were in process of be-
coming civilized, have been ''forced to
abandon their improvements and virtually
driven back to savage life" Here is one
instance:
Gas recently as the middle of Deem
Der last, all the members of an Indian
family were taken at night from their
bed, not permitted to dress themselves,
their house and ali its contents burned,
they beaten with revolvers, their lives
threatened, if they did not leave the coun-
try, and they were marched to the woods,
ostensibly to be murdered. This cruel
outrage was perpetrated by the Campbell
family and their friends, whO were in
censed beyond measure because Mosher
had become citizen, and was likely TO
enter the claim he had lived on for four
wears, and had improved it with good
cabin and outbuildings. He had about
twenty acres under cultivation, and had
planted fruit trees, etc. This was his
only crime. He was a quiet and peace
able man. This DR.. Campbell jumped
this improvement about one year ago, and
has been carrying on the warfare till now
TO force Mosher away from his home. A
short time since the court granted Camp
bell an injunction against Mosher, even
preventing him from cutting his fire
wood on his claim. This is an example of
the Justice afforded to citizen of Indian
descent by the courts of the State-at
least of this part of l..
Several other 0utrages, equally cruel
and equally indefensible, are given, and
at the close of the recital, Mr.. Gibson
says: 'Thc Indians are all suffering in
divers ways from these border ruffians.
While the Government is spending mil
lions of money annually for the civiliza-
ton of Indians, why is it these demons
in human shape are allowed to thwart all
their efforts in that direction 2" His final
reflection is particularly worthy OF notice.
1t is as follows: "Why this people
worship the negro, and persist in cruelty
ing the poor inoffensive Indians, is q
problem" The problem in the case of the
Usage Indians, and indeed of all others
holding rich reservations, is easy of solu-
ton. They own large bodies of fertile
land. If treaty pledges are worth any
thing, the Government is bound to pro-
tect them in the quiet enjoyment of theiI
possessions.

THE aUO wARRANTO CASES.

A private letter from Washington in
forms us that motion was made in the
Supreme Court of the United States on the
SOtA ult., to advance the quo aOGTrdntO
cases from Tennessee on the docket, and
the Court refused to do so. The Court
stated that the cases were not of sufficient
Importance to justify such course. This
will put off the trial for year, and leave
our courts and local Offices undisturbed
for at least that period. The fact that
the Judges of the Supreme Court of the
United States do not consider this ques-
ton of much importance will be bad news
to the Radicals of this State, who have
been very active in discovering every
petty Office held by Democrat supposed
to be obnoxious to the odious fourteenth
amendment. Those Radicals who thought,
or pretended to think, that the UNION AND
AMERICAN was rash in denouncing the
fourteenth amendment as an er post fdctO
and therefore unconstitutional amend
ment, may yet find the Supreme Court OF
the United Strtes giving force and effect
TO this view.

A CONFLICT of authority, as between the
State Of New York and the United
States, lately arose out of the refusal of
Gen. Neil, commanding the Federal
forces at New York, to obey writ of
Judge McCunn requiring him to produce
ID court a soldier alleged to have been
unlawfully enlisted. Gen. Neill appeared
instead in United States Court, and was
in consequence threatened with punish
ment for contempt by Judge McCunn,
who announced his purpose to assert the
jurisdiction of the State over the case.
The claim thus set up was reviewed and
rejected by Judge Blatchford of the United
States Court on the 9th ult. He decided
that the case belonged to the United States
Court, and that Gen. NELL will be justi-
fed in using the military force al his
command in resisting any claim of the
State to authority in the premises.

In order that the country may under
stand how thoroughly the navy is de-
moralized in every branch of the service,
it Is stated that the old rule forbidding
women from being carried as passengers
is q practical nullity. When Admiral
Fsrragut went to Europe in 1858, Presi-
dent johnson, to compliment his distin-
guished services, directed the regulation
to be relaxed in favor of his family. His
successor in command of the squadron,
Admiral Rsdford, profited by the prece-
dent There were other cases more ex-
ceptional still. And now it has come to
pass that Captains of ships claim and en-
joy the same privilege. No other navy in
the world would tolerate practice which
is utterly destructive of discipline, and
serves to render us ridiculous.

TIE Washington Patriot says: The
SON of Gov. Holden, who was defeated
for Congress, is the principal instigator of
the Morton inquisition. He has to re-
venge his own defeat as well as that Of
his father, and, if possible, to prevent the
consummation of the lstter's impeach-
ment for the crimes which he has COM
mitted against the people of North Caro-
lima. He is not only prosecutor, but wit
ness. And to sustain this sudacious con-
spiracy to overthrow a peaceful govern
ment they have naturally invoked the
aid of Kirk, who headed the outlaws that
committed the well-known outrages in
the counties of Caswell and Alamance
last summer-outrsges which, in enormity,
exceed anything IN our whole history.
He is, of course, proper witness for
Holden and Morton. Mr.. Carpet-bsgger
Abbott, from New Hampshire, whom the
people of North Carolina rejected as
Senator, is also one of the managers OF
this plot, hoping to get elected by the
Senate for his part in it.
