Under Grants administration the
management of Indian affairs has
passed out of politics and into the
hands of the Christian churches
of the country, who have the entire
control Of Indian affairs, through
the "Peace Commissioners" and the
local Indian Agents, appointed from
the different Orthodox Churches.
The new policy has been, TO put The
tribes Oh their own reservations and
to feed them instead of fighting them.
Each Indian Agent has control of
his own tribe, absolutely, and with
out interference from the troops. lie
disburses the goods. clothing, sup
plies, food, arms, ammunition &c. lie
also has authority to appoint trader
at his agency, who may trade guns,
ammunition Sc. to the Indians, which
they may require to hurt game with,
for furs pelts &c. BY this means the
Indians are kept well fed and armed
in the winter so that they can go forth
in the warm weather 10 hunt and
scalp the men that fed them.
The whole system is wrong. The
Indians should be under the control
of the military, who. being response

PEELED to fight them. if necessary.

Military traders at military posts
are subject to the articles of war and
are not permitted to sell anything.
except it is scheduled and allowed by
the Post Commander. and arms and
ammunition never.
1t is the Indian trader at the Indian
agencies, almost invariably at a dis
lance from the military post, who has
the right alone to trade with the In
dams. and thus indirectly the Peace
Policy is responsible orputtln@ arms
into Sitting Bulls hands, who has
used them with such fcrocious pur-
pose.
The whole system is complicated,
involved in double-hcaded authority
and resulting in corruption and dis.
aster. The plan pending before Con
gress to put the control Of Indian af
fairs into the hands of the military
and thus holding the military strictly
responsible, ought 10 be adopted al
once.
1t certainly cannot be worse than
the present one, and ought to be vast.

sixty Deaths From Suu stroke.

New YORK, July 1.-THE deaths,
yesterday, from sunstrokc exceeded
in numbers those of of any previous
day for 80 years, except July 2d,;lS72,
when 6s were reported. The pecu-
liarity of yesterdays death record
was that every case of sunstroke re-
ported at the police office, with the
exception of one or two, proved fatal.
Up to 3 p. NJ, yesterday, the Health
Board had issued 222 burial permits,
an unusually large number for one
day, while the proportion of infants
who died was alarmingly on the in
crease. The regular weekly report
of the Bureau Of Vital Statistics, only,
will show the true number of deaths
from sunstroke, yesterday, which is
believed by the health officers to be
nearly GO.

An Insult to our flag.

New York, July S.--The purser of
the steamship Tybee, from San Do
mingo, has forwarded to the Secreta-
ny Of State from the American Con.
sui at that port the details of an in
suit to the American flag. 1t seems
that the Tybee was on her way from
this port to San Domingo and took
on board as passenger at Cape Hay
tien Gen. Villaneuva, ex-Minister of
War and Marine, under President
Gonzales, of San Domingo. Arriy-
ing at San Domingo, Yillanueva
sent to the authorities asking
permission to land but was refus-
ed and warned if he did land
he might expect to be arrested.
Immediately aiterward Capt. Knhe,
Of the Tybee, was ordered to put the
General on shore, Government aver
ring that he had been endeavoring,
Oh the Haytien frontier, to ferment a
revolution against the existing Re-
public. The Captain refused and sub
mitted the case to Paul Jones, the
American Consul, who decided that
as the General was an ordinary pay
ing passenger and had not been on
shore he was entitled to remain on
board and was under the protection
Of the American flag. The 25th Of
June, as the Tybee was ready to sail,
an order was received from the Min
lister Of the Interior, commanding
her to remain. The American Consul
made reply that he had on board a
special bearer of dispatches to his
Government, that the ship was prop
erly cleared and she would sail un-
less detained by force.
This message was UNDECIDED. See
ing an attempt was to be made to
take his passenger Capt. kuhc tied
American flags to the stanchions on
both sides of the gangways and all
intrndcrs were warned away. In a
little time field piece was brought
on the wharf, and 80 soldiers
armed with rifles tore away the flags
and went on board and despite the
emphatic protest Of the American
Consul, General Villaneuva, lame
and disabled, was taken from his
state room and then the vessel was
permitted to sail.
