The term of the court for which these cases

General Lew Wallace has proposed to the
Secretary of Wa his plan for putting down
the Indian wars. He recommends the EN-,
ployment of a corps of frontiersmen fol-
border duty, who are to live upon the
country. He would, in short, create a lot o.
predatory white bands to offset the thievins
savages.
A sensational rumor has been sent on
