Gen. Stoneman, who won so much glory
during the war as chief Of cavalry of TIE ar.
my of the Potomac, loses his patience over
the impudent radical claim that all the sol
diers who fought to crush the rebellion were
republicans, and has hunted up some stats
tics on the subject He finds that of the 40
major generals who did conspicous service
in the army during the war, 50 we're not re-
publicans; and he expresses the belief that
the same ratio will hold good through all
grades down to privates.

The original manuscript of that letter was

In the Suburbs.

A jointdiscusson was held in the schoolhouse
of Brookield township on last Saturday night
between dessrs. McDougal and L. l.. Thompson,
and NJ. T.Maloney, OF this city. Both parties had
ADVERTISED a meeting; that is, the republicans
had, whih the democrats had invited Mr. Malon-
ey to spek to them but seem to have made no
efforts to get out a crowd. The consequence
was that when Mr.. Maloney got there he found
the majoty Of his audience republicans and
these republican speakers present. So he agreed
to divide he time with them in discussion AS
both the republican gentlemen had set speeches
and werehardly prepared to make eXtemperan-
our young friend Thompson should have an OPP.
portunltyto unload that great speech which he
had been og.tating during the "wee sma' hours"
for the las three months. 1t was Of course some
thing extraordinary Mr. Maloney followed in a
short, sensible speech on the great question
lhat interests the people-"how shall we reform?
Then Mr.. McDougall ABLY supported his rcpUb-
lican colleague" 1t is as yet undecided which
is the greater of the two republican orators and
probably will not be, for when Mr.. Maloncy fin
ished his second speech the audience had for
gotten all about the youths. Three cheers were
then given for Hayes aud Wheeler ANA three for
the Republican speakers. The Democrats failed
to similarly compliment either their standard
bearers or speaker" because few or no demo
Gratis were present, and the republicans of course
would not compliment democratic speaker.
meeting was also held in Peru on last Fri
da, night which was largely attended by the
democrats from all parts. Hon. b. &. Caulheld
ant Emil lloechSter made speeches, which were
mot enthusiastically received. Peru, heretofore
strong republican stronghold, will go demo-
cratic on Tuesday by 200 majority easy.
On Friday last meeting was held in Mar
scies to raise Tilden pole, the details Of which,
published in our Marscillcs correspondence, will
be FUND quite interesting, and we leave it TO re-
pubicans to decide whether anything could be
moe disagraceful to them. That is the truth.

lRr TELEGRAPH TO THE tribune
WAsHINGToN, Jan 2G.-frof. Seclycs proposition
TO transfer control of the civilized Indians Whose
reservations are in the States to the State Govern
ments the approval Of all members of the III
dian Committee The only question is, whether the
States will consent to assume tins control. Oh
course the United States Government by its treaties
is bound to perform it's part Of the contract which IT
has made with these Indians but 1t is believed that
the Indians themselves, as well tie people of the
States will be glad to have the former put on the
same footing with other residents the neigh
borhood. For example there Is apparently no
longer any reason why the Indians of Cattaraugus
County, New-York, should be treated as wards OF
the nation, while there are many rcasons why thclI
lands should be divided among them ard they be
come citizens of the state, their qualifications "a
perform the duties and bear the responsibilities of
citizenship being good as those Of the avcracc
white citizens. Indeed. these Indians have reached
such state Of civilization that they ought to be
able Individually, TO own lands and take care of
themselves.
With a view TO preparing for this change the In
dian Committee has authorized correspondence t.
be opened with the Governor Of New York, Mich
gan, Wisconsin. and North Carolina. There are In
dian reservations Ill the States of Kansas, Nebraska,
and Texas; but in these the Indians still
sayages and il is therefore proposed TO begin with
those States where the Indians have made the most
progress. Should this policy be adopted, il would
open the way to eventual settlement of the In
dian question in very satisfactory manner. The
Widest Indians after they have been forced to live
on reservations for generation or two, and have
during that time been surrounded with the
of civilization, attain a creditablc degree of
civilization and if, when they reached given stage
they could become citizens Of the States in which
| they reside and owncrs of land the General Gov
ernment oonld he released from the responsibility
attending their care. and the States would gam
number of good citizens.
