New YORK, Oct. 23.-The Tribune
says Gen. Sherman favors extending to
white people and their property. as well
az the property of the United States,
full and ample military protection from
depredations of the hostile Indians.
While he is not actually in favor Of u
fighting policy toward the Indians in
stead Of one of feeling, he has always
advocated that tho army should have
full control of the Indian question.
He said he believed the Indian troubles
in Oregon. Nevada and other states and
territories through which he has passed
to be at an end. Whatever might be
said the army has certainly done its
duty nobly. A long interview between
the general and secretary of war took
place this morning.
It is learned that the administration
is at o loss to determine what DISPOSE
ton shall be made of chief Joseph and
his band now that they have been
caught. Sherman says joseph fought
in q Christian manner, not taxing scalps
or muilating the dead. and he is not in
favor of putting him to death. He is.

lowing him to return to Oregon. The
chief knows too much of that country

CHICAGO. Oct. 23.-The Tines Wash
ington special says: The newspaper
publication of the doings Of private eau
casses of state delegations is denounced
as an infamous betrayal of confidence.
1t happens, however, that Republicans
attend these meetings whe don't believe
in the ostrich policy and who refuse to
allow any clique of men for their own
purposes to use party gags and whips to
keep from the public the acts of their
representatives; 80 the public is pretty
we'll informed of the sentiment here.
The fact il patent that many Republi>
cans in congress disagree with the pres
ident on some features of his policy.
The most astonishing feature is thar
experienced cabinet members should
think the public deceived as to the real
sentiments of the party. or that the
final adjustment of differences can be
averted by postponement. The plans
already proposed for adjusting differ
ences are as CO xardly as impolitic. A
few leaders declare unity paramount.
Others say skilled politicians will soon
compel the house to meet issues pend
ing, and squarely and directly oppose OF
disapprove Of tho administration. and
that every Republican member must be
left to vote according to his conviction.
