HOW GEN. GARFIELD DID
NOT REMOVE THE FLAT
HEAD INDIANS.

Washington Cor. New York HERALD
Last year congress passed an Sppropria-
ton tor the removal OF the FIalhead In
dams from the Bitter Root valley, in Mon
tana, TO u reservation some fifty or sixty
miles distant, which has been sci apart Tor
them and other neig hboring tribes. This
was done nj the urgent solicitation Of the
settlers in the valley, who already number
fifteen hundred and are rapidly lncrens-
ing. They desired " be freed from
the Indians, and nlao TO obtain titles 20
their lands, which could not be done until
the Indian title WAS extlnguished. Dele
gate Claggett urgently requested the APP
poinImenI as commissioner OF n gentlemen
belonging 10 the Pacific coast, who had
extensive ex Experience aud much influence
among these Indians. He was with Gov
erpor Stevens, OF Washington Territory,
in sll his Indian expeditions, and had
drawn up the original treaty with the
Flstneads in 1855. Instead of this Gen
eral Garfield, Of Ohio, WAS selected as the
commissioner. 1t was ssid 1T the time

in the attempted disehsreeof the duty as
signed him. A delegation from Montana
to-day had an interview with Secretary

fairs and the Commissioner Of the Gen.

that General Garfield had not carried out
his instructions; that he had simply taken
