Inquiries About Indians.

A few weeks since, we published series of questions, prepared at Department Headquarters of Arizona, regarding the various Indians in the Territory. A cir cular dated August 10, 1874, is put forth by the board of Indian Commissioners. It is specially prepared for Indian agents, but copies are sent to prominent officers and men presumed to have given the Indian question much consideration. The Com missioners' circular reads:
 Dear Sir: The Board of Indian COmmls- SionerS Invites your attention to the Iol- lowing extract from the laws pertaining to the administration of Indian affairs, from Act Of June 22, 1874:
 Sec. ;. That for the purpose Of inducing Indians to labor and become selt-suppOrt- ing, it is hereby provided that in the dis tributing the supplies to the Indians for whom the same are appropriated, the agent distributing the same shall require all able bodied male Indians, between the ages of eighteen and fOrty-five, to perform service upon the reservation, for the bene- fit of themselves or of the tribe, at a req sonable rate, to be fixed by the agent in charge and to an amount equal ill value to the supplies to be delivered.

HON. R. c. MCCORMICK made a lengthy speech in the House Of Representatives while In committee of the whole, on Mon day, May Il, 1874, and here are couple of the closing paragraphs:
 MT. Chairman, I have said what have regarding the Indian Department and the Indian Office with the more satisfaction inasmuch as I came to Washington some what prejudiced against them and have at times had warm controversies with them. I am not a convert to the sO- called peace policy, as some of the malignant philanthropists interpret 1t. l have believed, and I do still, that force is an essential element in deal Ing with many of the Indian tribes, and that 1t is idle to expect success without 1t. It was more effective in putting the Apaches upon reservations than all the promises Ot beef or clothing.
 But in admitting that with force and food together, or the peace policy, as the Pres Ident. the Interior Department, and the Indian Office now uphold it. the Apaches are greatly subdued and quieted, admit no more than the people of Arizona and New Mexico willingly admit and rejoice over; for whatever may at any time have been said or insinuated to the contrary, they desire peace and appreciate it as much as any people in the land.
