The sioux war.
R. B. HAYES.

AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF ITS ORIGIN AND
CHARACTER.
Secretary Cameron has furnished to the
President detailed report concerning the
operations against the Sioux, in which he
says that the expedition sent into their
country was not directed against the Sioux
nation, generally, but against compare
lively small portion of them, who have new
er either accepted or respected the reserva-
ton of tho Black Hills country. He says :
'iThe terms of this treaty have been liber-
ally performed on the part of tie United
States, and have also been complied with by
the great mass of Sioux Indians. Some of
these Indians, however, have never recog-
nized the binding force of this treaty, but
have always treated it with contempt, have
continued to rove at pleasure, attacking
scattered settlements in Nebraska, Wyo-
ming, Montona, and Dakota, stealing hor-
ses and cattle, and numbering peaceful in
habitants and travellers"
These Indians were at last directed by the
Interior Department to remove to the res
eryation before January 31sJ last, which they
did not do, treating the order with con-
tempt. and the military expedition was
therefore sent against them. In March,
Gen. Crook moved out from Forts Fetterf
man and Laramie, and destrSyed Une yIliage
of Crazy Eorse, one OF the hostile bancs.
Secretary Cameron further says:
"The present military operations are not
against the Sioux nation at all, but against
certain hostile parts parts of it which defy
the Government, and are undertaken at the
special request of the bureau of the Gov
ernment charged with their supervision,
and wholly to make the civilization of the
remainder possible. No part of these
operations are on or near the Sioux Reser-
walton. The accidental discovery of gold
on the western border of the Sioux reserva-
ton and the intrusion of our people there
on have not caused this war, and have only
complicated it by the uncertainty Of num-
bers to be encountered. The young war
riors love war, and frequently escape Their
agents to go to the hunt or warpath, their
only idea Of the object of life. The object
of these military expeditions was in the in
terest of the peaceful parts of the Sioux
nation, supposed to embrace at least nine
tenths of the whole, and not one of these
peaceful treaty Indians has been molested
| by the military authorities"

The Fisher Appointment.

SENATOR BAYARD VERY SEVERE ON FISHER
BE DOES NOT FOLLOW SALISBURY.
Mr. Bayard. in his speech of Saturday
evening, showed that ho did not coincide
with Senator Salisbury in favoring the ap-
pointment of Fisher. He refereed to it as
showing that the Republicans could not or
would not give administrative reform, and
asked ''What do you Republicans think
of that 1t is enough to make every honest
man blush with shame"
At the close of his speech he again re-
ferred to the matter, without mentioning
Fishers name, and said he felt 1t his duty
to oppose the elevation of person of such
antecedents to public place.

The funeral of John r. Baylis, yesterday
afternoon, was the largest that has taken
place in this city for many years. The side
walks of King street, from Twelfth to Mar
ket, were crowded with people, and 80 many

excite fears of an accident when the fun
eral train would get fairly upon it. Every
shaded spot from the bridge to Riverview
cemetery was occupied by knots of people
to see the funeral procession pass by.
Very impressive religious ceremonies were
held at the house, conducted by Rev. j. W.
Pierson, of the Brandywine M. E. church.
The features of the deceased were very
natural, and were viewed by hundreds OF
sympathizing friends. The remains were
encased in cloth-covered coffin, richly or
namented, and on the top was silver plate
with the daylof birth and decease inscribed.
The United Cornet band led the procession
playing the dead march, followed by the
American Rifles with 40 men. The uni
formed Knights had 40 men in line and the
Delaware Battery, of which the deceased
was member during the late war, followed
their comrade to the grave with 81 mem
bers. Mechanics Lodge of Odd
fellows had 60 men Washington
Lodge X. of P. co. and the Sons of Tenn

must be sacredly observed, the parts that
are new no less than the parts that

perity of the Southern States can be most
effectually advanced by hearty and gener-

With such recognition fully accorded it

Let me assure my countrymen of the
Southern States, that if shall be charged
with the duty of organizing an admlnlstra

cherish their truest interests, the interests
of the white and of the colored people both
and equally, and which will put forth It's
best efforts in behalf of a civil policy which
will wine out, forever, the distinction be-
tween North and South in our common
country. With civil service organized
