pears missed their footing and fell into the
water. Being unable to help themselves,
and not being heard, both were drowned.

children.
Coroner TAYLOR was notified of the case,

The proposition of transferring the
Indian Department from the knavish
and incapable hands that at present con-
troll it, TO the War Department, is daily
commencing itself to the favorable con-
sideration of the people. The officers of
the army have no political aspirations;
they look Tor their rewards to well earned
promotion in an honorable profession.
This feeling will keep them from indulg-
ing in the mercenary schemes, that we
regret to say, has so remarkable and con-
tinuously characterized the administra-
ton OF Indian Affairs since they have
been placed under purely civil control.
Military men would scorn to allow the
paltry meannesses generally attributed
to Indian Agents and employees to stain
their hands. II the Indians were con.
tro!led by army officers, the regime
though stern. would be just, free from
corruption and in the end would prove
by far the most humane policy to the
Indians themselves as well as the settlers
on the frontier. The sooner the change
is made the better.
