Even. 'lIa
A correspondent of a New York
paper, writing from Mt. Morris,
Livingston County, New York, mar
rates an extraordinary story in re-
lation TO q citizen Of Chicago,
named Allen, who claims as his
brthright the improved acres upon
which the village stands. The
Chicago Allen makes this claim on
the strength of his relationship TO
one Ebenezer Allen, who fourished
during the period Immediately SUBJ
sequent TO the Revolutionary War.
This Ebenezer Was q lawIess indi-
vidual, hwless particularly in re-
gard to the statute against bigsmy,
his exploits in this line, as the story
,uns, fully emitting him to the
fatherhood of American Morman-
ism. It was in this part Of the
State that Joe Smith afterward pre-
tended to have found the Golden
Books" Abor,t the time. Of the
opening Of the story Ebenezer left
Philadelphia between two days,
while dodging . charge of bigamy,
and soon afterward appeared in
Livingston County, which was then
known as the ssGenesee Country" /"
Here he took to himself q wife, one
"White Woman Soon afterward
Ebenezer put away this woman and
took unto himself another. wife.
Subsequently he divorced this sec
ond Genesee country wife, and took
unto him Seneca squaw. After
q while he espoused an additional
wife, and in the course of time mar
ried q supplemental helpmate, liv-
ing with all three. and demonstrat-
ing his executive ability by preserv
ing universal peace in the house,

riage with the Seneca woman he
acquired the title Of Indian Allen,

The Indian Policy.

The Inter Ocean took occasion, q
few days since, to point out some of
the substantial fruits Of the Indian
policy Of the Administration. We
alluded to the fact that, under the
former management it cost the
country from 100000 to $780,
600, 900 yearly to prosecute Indian
wars, while since the Inauguration
of the present policy the cost had
been merely nominal. We showed
that in the few years prior to the
adoption of the peace plan the mur-
ders Of white men by Indians num-
bered from seventy five to eighty
five annually, while under the pres
cnt policy such crimes had well nigh
ceased. We showed that before
this the Government paid immense
sums, ostensibly to Indians, but
really to dishonest SPECTATORS who
preyed upon them; while now we
saved hundreds of thousands of
dollars by purchasing supplies
through honest agents, and expend-
ing money for only the actual ar
ticles received, Last, but not least,
we showed that the crimes commit.
ted by the Indians against the
whites were fewer than an equal
number of white persons in any
part of the Western country COM
mitted against each other. We
gave these reasons, which might be
easily supplemented by others, why
the peace policy should not be aban-
doned. We observe with regret,
however, that in the indignation
following the massacre of General
Candy all these things are lost sight
Of, and that great number of pa
pers in all parts of the country are
clamoring for an abandonment o1
the policy which has been so fruit,
full of good results. We're no mas
sacres committed befores Is this
murder of General Candy the result
of peace measures! Why, as q
matter of fact, the peace policy had
nothing whatever to do with this
massacre. General Candy was d-
rected to use his discretion in treat
ing with or fighting the Modocs
and the trouble had reached such {
point that he went to meet them
supported by troops, and prepares
to drive them into submission
They murdered him, treacherousl,
and cowardly as they have murder
ed others, and as Indians in turn
have been murdered ever since tn
foundation of the Government; bu
call upon the President to abandon
his efforts at Cancellation, to ceas
treating the whole Indian popula
ton with justice and go back to tn
old method of fraud and dishones
ty, because of this tragic occur.
renee is SO unwise and foolish tina
it must give way upon reflection t
better and safer counsel.
