Rations for one month, principally of pork and four, with supplies of army clothing. will be furnished them st once. Reports from Dakota Territory are not all in, but Col. Smith, having charge of the distribution, estimates the numbr needing aid in Dakota Te ritory at 5000. So far as the enrolling officers are informed, but one case of utter destitution exists either in Min nesota or Dakota. They report instances of application for aid from families abundantly able tG provide for themselves, and other in- stances where persons really suffering would neither apply for nor accept aid. Nearly all applicants for help are foreign-born, new corners, who had no means of subsistence other than the products of their labor upon homestead or preemption claims.

THE HUdLPdN.

The Indians that have left the Colorado reservation are still ou: in the mountains, but so far as heard from are peaceable. Pas sengcrs who came in via Mohsve report that five were seen near the Willows few days ago but acted in very inoffenslve manner, passing along without even paying attention or speaking to any body. Dan O'Leary. who has had great deal of experience with this tribe, and who is supposed to have as much influence with them as any other white man, what they propose to do. Gen. Kautz will have force of soldiers iii the vicinity of their haunts, in few days, and if they do not return peaceably to their reservation when requested, it may become necessary to compel them to do so.
 0'Leary is of the opinion that they ex- pect to be allowed 10 remain about Beale Springs, and when informed that it will not be permitted will yield and return without further trouble. Dr. Tonner informs us that it was not so much the change of their feed ing station, from La Paz to the reservation, as it was general dissatisfaction on their part at not being allowed to remain at Beale Springs, where, we are informed, there is very little tillable land, and DO chance to ev- CT render them even partially self-supporting
 The Indian agents are instructed by the department to require all Indians to do some thing to assist in earning their rations. with a view to render them selfsupporting as fast as possible; and right here We fear they are committing an error in pressing this self support upon the Indians more rapidly than they are ready to acquiesce in it. 4 child has to learn to creep before it can be taught to walk, and in dealing with wild Indians it cannot be expected that they will at once adopt the ways of the white man. Those that have made their homes in the valleys and been accustomed to cultivate the soil in their own crude way, will, of course, the more readily adapt themselves to the use of our implements and learn their value, while it would doubtless prove economy in the long run to feed the mountain Indians entirely at Government expense until they become some what accustomed to being confined to the limits of a reservation, and taught the fal lacy of trying to live by murder, theft and robbery. Another mistake, we think, is in not having resident superintendent in the Territory. As long as there is an Indian de- partment, independent of the military, they require superintendent with whom the agents can confer and from whom to receive their orders, just as much as the military re- quire department commander.
 Now, if a question arises that an agent is not authorized to decide, or is in doubt what to do, everything must stop until the superintendent at Washington can be heard from, and then, in the very nature of things, his great distance from the scene of the trou- ble renders him incompetent to advise cor rectly. In this way, agents are, no doubt, often blamed when the fault lies in the sys- tenn under which they are operating.
 The Hualpais are evidently not ready to accept the full measure of civilization that the department desires to clothe them with.

WHAT MR. BEEcHER THINKS OF HIMSELF

WHAT MR. BEEcHER THINKS OF HIMSELF. They tell tolerably we'll authenticated story in Brooklyn, by way of showing how Mir. Beecher regards his own conduct in respect to the scandal. Brother Sherman was calling on Beecher one Sunday, and the conversation naturally turned upon the scan- dal and the trial. MT. Beecher remarked, finally, that he doubted if it was strictly proper to talk about such things on Sunday. To which Brother Sherman dryly replied that he had read in the Scriptures that when an OK or an ass had fallen into pit it was right to pull him out even on the Sabbath day. Beecher laughed and said, "Well, I guess yov've got me, for if ever there was any bigger ass than have been, or any deeper pit than l have fallen into, l have yet to hear of them.n

To the Editors Ofthe Herald and MuH:
In recent Issue of your paper, some
one, styling himself Democrat goes on
to express sympathy with and approval
of certain sentiments uttered by your cor
respondent from Nashville Delta, that
the "Conservative-Democr party is
crushed to the earth by the election OF
ex-President Johnson to the Uai,ci States
Senate, and that said election is an evil
omen for the great struggle Of 1876, &c.
Now. Messrs. Editors, the Conservative
Democratic press aud party Of this and
every other State, throughout the broad
land, have pronounced too uucqujvocaIly
contrary opinion-that Ir. Johnson s
election is one of the graHdcst triHmphS
Of Conservatism, in its war upon di>hon-
esty, and the corruption OF rings,
"cHqueS,' and "clOse corporations &c,

postscript to the article in question,
wherein he says, every true Maury coun-
ty man took pride" &c, in Messrs. Boyd
and Glenn unyielding opposition to Mr..
Johnson's election. 10 the contrary, I
am confident the truth is, decided pre-
ponderance of our most solid, honest, and
best citizens, felt keen keen mortijica-
ton, instead of pride, at the action Of
our Representatives in that matter, and
were only consoled by the thought, that,
though not correctly rejecting the senti-
ments of their constituency, they were,
doubtless, actuated by pure motives, and
that they failed to succeed ia their unto
ward opposition. CONSERVATIVE.
