ALATr GAIN OF THE INDIAN RING.

To the Editor Of the Tribune.
SIR: On the 9Th inst. telegram announced
that disturbance was threatened at the MILESTONE
Agency for the Sioux there rations for
the Indians. correspondent OF The Army and Ndoy
Journal Of the date states that at "Red Cloud
there has been OF the ration neither coffee sugar nor
-four for issue during the last six weeks They are issu
ing beef pork recently, however. When the other
portion OF the ration can they were out OF beef Tor
nearly month" From this can be seen that the sup
uy of raons for the year had been made away with in
about six months. In the fiscal year 1874 the supply
OF beef for the whole year issued and was exhausted
IN the six months The excuse OF the agents was
that they had protection against the Indians, who
demanded and received what they chose TO cal Tor.
But this troops have been stationed at the agencies
and the agents claim TO have taken census Yet the
raons have fallen short In about the space OF time
In 1874 the agents Red Cloud and MILESTONE claimed
10 have fed from July TO December at their respective
agencies AS many 900 Sioux. This the highest
number was about 5000. The Department OF the In:
terror called for and obtained the large appropriation OF
$4,000 to feed Northern Sioux at those agencies The
terms rowing" and Northern" Sioux are evidently sub
sttuted now for the word Teton" in the Department
ports as OF reaching the Treasury and represent
lust as real a body OF Indians as that lost tribe.

MORAL OF THE CONNECTICUT ELECTION.
To the Editor Of The Tribune
SIR am reader and admirer of THE TRIB-
UNE and have been especially pleased with its broad and
liberal Tone the marked ability with which 1t treats po-
litca questions its general accuracy in publishing the
news and the valuable aud interesting matter which
daily furnishes TO of thousands OF intelligent readers
1t is powerful cosmopolitan journal, excelled by none
OF its contemporaries But in drawing the moral OF the
Connecticut election, your premises are not,
think altogether correct The Administration party
in this State of churches, colleges and schools,
was not overthrown by the unprecedented majority OF
nearly 1000 votes simply as rebuke to President
Grant but the radical Republicans were vanqushed be-
cause the majority of tho believe that the party
had completely outlived its usefulness. me
present Administration never can be In sympathy Win
the white people Of the Southern states me voters Oh
Connecticut recognize this fact They desire now that
the terrible war is over. and the people of the South
laid down their arms In good faith that persecution
shall cease and that they shall haye an opportunity 10
exercise their local rights and privileges, 10 Dud up me
waste places, and to ehace as soon as p99ssi99e
strife between brethren of the same household.
One thing more the intelligent citizens of this state de-
mand and that is honesty and ability in the adinlstra
ton OF State and national affairs and In connection WIN
large towns Of the Southern States once furnished large
and ready market for manufactured goods and they de-
sire to greet the Southern merchant on our
streets, at hotels and the southern planter WIN
lieved that the late Connecticut election demonstrates
the fact that majority Of the electors think that the
party of the future will he the political tnas
will restore fraternal relations with all the States and
bring the people of the South in entire harmony with the
General Government at Washington. c. W. D.
