What Indians Cost Us.
WHY THE PREsIpENq

WHY THE RREsIDkNT PREFERS THE PEACE POLICY
The Washington correspondent Of the st. Louis
Globe says OF the Indians The delegation bnsi.
ness has cost money, but not SO muoh as even a
little war would do 1t Is estimated that we
have spent about $500, 900 900 and 80, 600 lives
in Indian wars since this country began. But il
would have been very easy under the old policy
to have another fifteen or twenty millions and
several hundred lives to that total, under the
present administration. But there has never
been an Indian war that il would not have been
less costly arrangement to have purchased
person
The presidents view s, as happen to know
that we must temporiZe with the Indians who
seem irrecaimaJle, in order to separate from
them those who are beginning to realize the
hOpeleasness Of conflict with the whites and
gather these into localities where they are not
likely to be iiterfered with by our own bor-
derers. As for the irreclaimables, the policy
pursued IL by every reasonable method to pre-
vent extended outbreaks, isolate the several
bands and tribes mrch az possible, endeavor-
ing to mpress upon their leaders the power OF
u government aid the peoule. and at the same
II ne to fulfil with the most tcripulous exact
nees every obligation We make With them.

many tribes, Ike the Arizona b ,nds. the several

He had gone before with the others to MAKE

not be- charged that the Indians had not been
coerced. Duiing the council he spoke OF the
great number OF whites tho many braves the
Great Father had, and otherwise sought to
show the chiefs what a hopeless task il was to
contend against them. Outside the council the
Governor was asked why be had not brought

white strength by endeaAoring to keep count of

this process WAS dropped. Then they tried to
count the ehou>es-lodges. II required not more
than half days travel to show how hopeless
was this. SO then they fell back on counting
the towns, but soon gave that up in despair tell-
ing the Governor that ''the palefaces we're more

Thus far the audiences, at the Opera House,
have not been enco Iragngly large, and it must
be said that the enter Prise of MIR Ford, in send

encouragement it dc ewes, at the hands OF our
citizens. Whether he will conclude that this
has been due to mporary causes we do not
know. Probably it ha- at any rate, it seems
unreasonable to conclude that such meagre
houses are all We are to expect, throughout the
season.

The Lynchburg republican gives the following
account Of the shooting ARRAY between young

telegrsphed:
1t will be remembered thar several months
ago difficulty occurred between William II.
Ward and VIM. H. Tsrdy. two residents of this

that couuty.) and the jury brought In verdict
Of not guilty Last Tuesday. Charles Tardy, a
son Of the deceased, met with Ward at Ohurless'
ford, on Staunton river, near the scene Of the
hIrt tragedy. .nand 4 reoontre ensued In which
Ward was shot three times and mortally woun-
ded.
Tardy's story is that when he came 10 the ford
from the PittsylvaDia side Of the river Ward was
just ascending the bank OH the Campbell side.
and that after riding few PAGES from the river
Ward stopped aud turned his horse across the
road as IL to prevent his passing He attempted

Ward drew their pistols at the same time but
that he fired three times while Ward did not fire

VIOLENCE, FRAUD AND INTIMIDATION.
When the veracous gentleman who make up
the Associated Press dispatches at Savannah
telegrapbed on the ngh Int after the Georgia cleo
tion that Col j. L. Bryant had been arrested for
attempting to create riot we knew that the
despatch was intended to onceal some act OF
wantun rutality on the part Of the bloodthirsty
scOundlels who were acting as special police.
Col. Bryant is editor of the Savannah Journal
and IN his paper OF October Sd appears the fol-
lowing account of the outrage:
About ten O'Clock Col Bryant, who was Chair
man OF the Republican chalengers noticed a
Special Deputy Sheriff inside Of the Court House
stopping Republicans as they went to the polls
and examining their tickets. He objected and
was informed by the Deputy Sheriff that he re-
received Instructions from the Sheriff TO do 30.
Col. Bryant called the attention OF the Chief
Deputy Slierif, who happened to be near. to the
action of this man, aud was informed that he
had received no order to thus interfere with
voters. Col. Bryant then requested that he
should Q instruited 20 stop. At that moment .
rush was made at Col Bryant by the crowd of
Special Deputy Shenf4, who shouted arrest
him arre.t lim!' Immediately they seized
him, aud with their clubs boat him in most
brutal manner. He WAS severely wounded and
bleeding freely, was taken to the square in Mont
OF the Court II use, where he was turned over
to the city police
The police il rough and ungentlemanly man

of a drunken oolored man who was under arrest

wound on his head WAS bleeding freely, but he
was not permitted to have any opportunity to
