WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, d. g.,
Nov. 2l, '7S.

n pretty quarrel is going on between
the Interior Department and certain
Army officers. The Ipdian policy OF
the Government, as every reading man
in the world knows, is a bloody aud
costly failure, and the present coutro-
versy grows out of AN attempt to fix
the responsibility for that failure on
the two branches of Government con
nected with the carrying out of that
policy. Our Canadian neighbors man
age their Indians with little expense
aud no bloodshed. There will &c a
most earnest discussion this winter, in
Congress, over the proposed transfer
of the Indian Bureau to the War De
partment. 1t would seem plain that ii
divided re possibility like that now
existing, would lead to extravaganza,
if not to all other evils incident to the
present system. | believe the transfer
will be made, if not at the coming
session, ihen at the succeeding one.
There is IA story in the Radical popers
this morning, that Mr.. Potters Com
mttee will examine into the noted
cipher dispatches" and examine
Messrs. Tilden, Pelton, Coyle, and
others. with view to heading off,
the Senate in such an Investigation.
[ don't think either of the parties will
Investigate" those dispatches much.
1t is well understood that they have
done all the mischief they are capa BILE

for the possession.of the Arlington e.

" asuIugtOn, April, 1878.
DEAR SIR: Your letter, asking a
statement as tu the working, status aud
results Ul the law known as the
"Malue Liquor Law" is received, and
we reply, without hesitation, from u
personal eXp.llence Ot lis operations.
For the first ten years OF Its existence
there we.e many difficulties aud sc
rious obstacles. n great variety Ui
questions OF practice, evidence and
peadlug was presented TO the courts
vi law tor adjudication, and very ire
qucntly jurors, overcome by their pre-
Judlces, Iaiied to agree upon vcrdictS;
Dui the courts tiIaily determined all
pUluts oil law raised, or that could be,
anu public upiniOn reformed all per
verse Jurors; 80 th t during the iast
fifteen years the enforcement OF the
provisions Of the law has been con-
slant, general and successful. The
result has been that the traffic in in
ioXicatiug iiqurs, II crime by statute.
has become 1t crane IN the opinion OF
large majority of our citizens, the
buyer as we'll as the seller being re-
gardcdsus IA moral participant in the
crime. The Use Of liquors as a bcveY'
aye is unpopular, and the sale of It
very limited. In majority of the
towns in the State none Can be- OBJ.
tanned. except as provided by law.
The rropriety of the law having beec
early made a political issue, one of
our two great parties has until within
two or three years been hostile to it,
and evidenced its hostility on its plat
firm. Last year. at its State Conven-
tiou. when the usual res olution against
n. ohihition wa. offered for cOpsidera
tion. it was voted down by a good ma
inriiy. with considerable enthusiasm.
Tho law il nov NJ easily and as thoro-
" enforced as that for the prevention
and punishment Of any other, snd
similar crimes, and we sincerely affirm
that it is n su"ress.

Z The success of the Maiue liquor law
having recently been called in ques-
ton. the editor of the New York Oh
server made some investigations Of the
subject, and was furnished with letters
from the Governor, Senators and Rep
resentatives in Congrese, Sheriffs and
Deputy Sheriffs, etc., OF that State,
which would seem to settle the ques
ton decislvely in favor Of the law.
We copy two Of said letters below:
FROM HIS EXCELLENCY, GOV. CoNNOR.
DEAR SIR: / am in receipt of Il
note requesting Of me some statement
OF the standing aad results of prohi
bi,ion in Maine, to oe forwarded to
the friends of temperance in England.
That policy was adopted here in 1851,
aud new there is no organized Oppo
sition to it in the State. After an eX-
perience of its results during more
than quarter of century, it is ac
quiesced in by both political parties
as beneficial to the people. The guam
tity of liquors smugslcd into the State
and sold surreptitiously is vastly less
than was consumed IN former years,
and the law is executed easily and as
well as any other Of our criminal laws.
| do not think the people of Maine
would, tor any consideration, go back
to the old policy Of license. WV.
