Indian and Morttton Affairs,

If fccoht ncss from Washington
can be relied upon, the administra-
tion has in contemplation active move.
mcnts against both tho Indians and
Mor,nons. 1t is rumored that the
first named arc shortly to start upon
tho war-path to tedtesS st,pposod
wrongs, aid it Is In View Of tliis; #e
prosumcI that the go7ornment is pre-
pairing for vigorous measures. Tho
aboriginal Inhabitants of the far
West have caused our national Solons
no little amount of troujle il deter
mining the treatment they should res
cei3c; snd still prosont obstaclcs in
the way Of the building up and de-
velopmcnt Of the most fertile portion
of our country. For this reason wo
have long favored harsh policy to-
wards them, not, however, losing
sight Of the fact that they have in
many instances been treated With un.
necessary severity; Tie nature of
tho savage is peculinr one, and hos
batffed tho efforts of distinguished
physiologists to fathom it. it there.
fore should be carefully handled, and
not viewed from an improper stand
point. The government should, whil6
maintaining determined course, look
upon tHis savage nature as q diff.
dcult problem, one reqairihg wisdom
and craftsmanship to solve. 3, ataf
measures simply encourage the fcroci.
ty of tho savage.
In regard to ths Mormons, wo arc
somewhat puzzled to know in what
way tho government will proceed
against them. So far MS their relig-
ion is concorned, thoy are protected
from molestation by. tho Constitution
Of the United States. They control
the territorial Government of Utah,
which is the only power that can in.
tcrfero with their polygamous practi.
ces, unless Congress Should see fit to
legislatc upon the subject: In tho
event of their hindcrihg tho setyico
of writs from the United States Court
then the Federal authorities could
doubtless rush in tho military upon
them, and assert it, authority. Il is
reported that Brigham Young has
sent out exploring parties to look for
n refuge for the "Saints," in case Of
their expulsion froEi' Desorct. This
would seem to indicate that Brigham
is anticipating storm, and wants to
DO ready when it does come. So long
as he and his followers violate no
