suit with citizens and officials and army officers as to the best courseI
 to be pursued, and also if found practicable te take delegation of Indians to Washington for confer ence and to impress them with
 the hopelessness of contendi,g
 against the United States. You
 will see how earnestly the Presi- dent feels on the subject from his letter by me to Gen. Schofield.
 Gen. Howard then read the letter in full.
 The President assigns as t1
 reason for sending out the Con- mission his own anxiety, and thu felt by the public generally, that in the future Indian hostilities shall be avoided, and that the\ policy to civilize ard elevate the Indians shall prove successful. It is not proposed by the Commis- sion to interfere with military movements ordered by the proper authority, but the hope is Express ed that a sympathy of viEws lA4Taa be entertained between the off CTS of the army and Gen. Howard It is not proposed to abandon us of force if the Indians will no come under such restraint as will insure the security of white set-I tiers, neither is it proposed to give protection all on the Indian sidel but if they will submit, protection by military force shall be given alike to all. r
 The General continued: Is theiL anything in that letter to whic,t the citizens of Arizona will ol, ject: You do not doubt but that l. this policy might be tried on the Cocopahs and the friendly tribes along the river.
 But the Apaches! you say; the murderous Apaches! what is the sense of trying to civilize such savages: Nothing can be done with them until they have been by which is meant that E you must kill a certain number to make the rest submissive.

schools set up, and the Indians brought slowly out of barbariSm. If the children can be kept at school. and this process continued two generations, barbarism is cured. That's what the new policy proposes, and it is succeeding be- yOnd the expectations of those who undertook it two years ago. AS result, the moral sentiment of the country that demanded it's adoption, now insists more than ever on its fair trial the country over. So strong and deep and uni versal is this demand, that it can not be resisted. It is the Presi- dents policy. His instincts and forecast of public opinion led him to adopt it. The Secretary of the Interior approves it from convic- ti0n and eXpediency. The people will have it, and any party or ad- ministration, or General in com- mand, who attempts to resist it, will go down before it.
 The speaker had a right to say this, because he represented one of those religious bodies to whom this work had been assigned by the Government, and knew how that body and others feel on this question. The moral sentiment of the nation is fairly aroused, and in the long run is not to be baffied.
 The demand is that there shall be a change from fraud and cor ruption to honest dealing. Men are to be put in charge of Indians who can be trusted to make pound of beef weigh sixteen ounces. The old time administra- tration of affairs, under wh :ch an office whose salary is fifteen hun dred dollars, has readily sold for fifteen thousand dollars, is to give way, and under the new, just, hu- mane and Christian effort, even the wretched, barbarous Indians of Arizona can be reached.
 GEN. HOWARD'S SPEECH.
 General Howard said the pre- vious speaker had anticipated him somewhat in reference to the widespread, quickened m1G, sentiment of the country on the Indian question. He had had spe- cial opportunity to know how the l pulse of public feeling beets, from his contact with so many of the very best men in the land, with WhOn he had been associated in the work for the freedmen for the past seven years. This sentiment is not confined to parties-the country feels it, Democrats as we'll as Republicans.

Sherman said: "YOu have under
 taken what cannot be done." I
 believed it could be done. At any
 rate I knew it ought to be done,
 and we went to work on the prin-
 ciple that a man is a man, and by
 the results demonstrated the prin-
 ciple. It needed a definite theory
 aimed at, and an adherence to it
 right through to the end.
 The new policy does not consist
 in change of agents only. The
 old theory respecting Indians is
 wrong at the bottom. We hold up a set of savage tribes as indepen- dent nations, and make treaties with them, as if they were capable of being a treaty-making power.
 What does the new policy pro- pose? It takes up the Indians as the wards efthe nation, ,and makes an honest practical effort to treat them as human beings, capable, after proper instruction and help, of living in civilized way. What can be done with them if we do not elevate them? I have heard men talk of eXtermination. Well, if that's it, then begin with the first Indian you meet, kill him on sight, aud so on until the last red man is gone, or introduce poison among them. This is extermina- tiOn in a straight forward way. But this nation is not to do that. nor anything like it. There is but one mind on that question. I am asked to decide between two poli- cies. There is now really but one policy, and it is not mixed. The Secretary of War and the Secre- tary of the Interior agree with the President. What he desires you will see from his letter. They all | mean to give the peace policy a full and fair trial. ] have letters | from them all. They insist on peace if it can be had, and they do not propose meanwhile to leave the citizens of Arizona in the ter TOT of robbery and murder by say ages, but to protect them, and at the same time give the Indians a fair chance under honest agents and in security from the attacks @,. 1.

announced in the SENTINEL, the Court House was frightened, and the people commenced bending their way to the place of meeting. The attendance was such ths t it could be seen at glance that the people had turned out en masse to exchange views with that good and great man, Gen. o. O. How ard. The seats were chiefly occu- pied by ladies. We learn that Mrs. Gen. Crook, in company with Col. Lee and his lady, was also pres ent. The meeting was called to order by H. Alexander, and Judge T. J. Bidwell unanimously elected to the Chair. Judge Bidwell, after 3 few Introductory remarks. in- troduced Gen. Howard. The Gen. (uera's remarks. which we give be-

 HoXard introduced Rev. E.
 bith as the Government Agent
 le Chippewas of Minnesota, who spoke of the peace policy of the present; that it differs from the old policies in being an earnest effort to lift Indians into civiliza- tion,by dealing justly with them, protecting them on reservations, and insisting that all agents and employees sent to them shall fair ly represent and execute the pur- pose of the Government. Indeed, this peace policy-so-calIed-is new policy mainly in the fact that it changes the character of the ap- pointments of the agents and en- ployees, who deal directly with the Indians. These appointments are now made on the nominations of the various religious societies of the country, which societies hold themselves responsible for their character and conduct, and | also Furnish additional aid in schools and teachers.

On the little island,

Frizzled hair and standing ruffs;
Cheeks as red as caramine could make them,
And teeth us white as the den list could bake
them,
Started out for sail With her beau,
Just Us the tids was at its flow,
Tho she wasn't thinking Of any amounts,
She was called upon 10 cast up aoeounts,
Aud leaning over the rocky vale,
The spray It washed her limpy and pale,
Aud there as she drsarily "heAvsd in the

She lost her switch and her supper set."'

Hairless and toothless, sailOw skin,
There came 10 the beach q total wreck,
And tee underwriters could mske no spec,
BY raising the huh and rigging Il up.

Aud the young man knew that bis ship was

And this is the way
