WASHINGTON, D. c., December Seen
Sherman to-day submitted to the Joint
Commission on the'Transfer OF the Indian
Bureau TO the War Department, a number
OF official docdments verifying his previ.
Gus statements regarding the adyisability
ofatransier. Thegenesalde described the sui:
fering OF the Indians and said the army
should either be transferred to the In
terror Department or the Indian Bureau To
the War Department. Under the exist
ing management the Government was very
heavily taxed and the poor Indian was
driven tothe wall, notwithstanding. Hwas
his opinion that twenty years hence the
American population would reach eighty
millions, and ~ the population increased
the Indian reservations would be required
for cultivation, and the Indian should ibe
cared for now, thatte might be prepared
for an emergency. The total number OF
Indians is nearly 292, 900, and under mill
tary management the greater number
could, be placed under ,ciyilfan agents, al
ways retaining | military power over
them. With reference to the proposition
Of the Indian Bureau to arm the young
bucks as soldiers or policemen, Gen. Sher-
man said the idea was inadvisable, as it
was Simply arrning a bitter enemy. Should
the transfer be. fliadel Indian wars would
be unheard OF. All trouble could be fore
seen and outbreaks prevented.
Quartermaster Gen. Megs contendcd
that the transfer must prove beneficial to
both Indians and army. ~ =

have been instructed to announce that the fun
eral of the Pope will be privately celebrated in
the Sistine chapel. the 18th, 18th and 18th, con-
sequently persons attending the service will do
SO in private manner. This avoids the nee

and the ministers, or refusing to do so.

THE RETURNING BOARD.

Substance of the Presidents letter
Strong Condemnation of the Prosecutors.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE letter addressed
by the President to Attorney General Devens
10 relation to the Co viction of Gen. Anderson,
and read to that officer yesterday was not in
tended for immediate publication. The fact
that the President had written such letter was
made known throughla Senator to whom the
President in conversation communicated the
information. Although the full text of the let
ter cannot be obtained at this time, it is safe to
say it is comparatively brief and is somewhat
derson on the 4th, by Secretary Sherman and
others. As grave constitutional questions may
be involved, and in which the general govern.
ment may perhaps have the right to interfere,
the President submits the subject to the Attor-
ney General for his consideration.
New YORK, Feb. 12.-Representative OAR
rell of Louisiana considers Secretary Sherman's
Indignation just and says that action is VIOLA
tive of the joint resolution adopted by the Lou
isiana legislature year ago, pledging truce
to all political anmosities.
Judge Mack of New Orleans says that Sher-
mans statements about Judge Whitaker are
we'll known TO be correct, and that the trial
and conviction of Anderson has been illegal
and irregular.
Henry White, one Of the visiting statesmen
at New Orleans with Sherman, says that he en-
tirely agrees with the sentiments and state
in New Orleans, and thinks the President will
now cease appointing Democrats to office.
Stanley Matthews says the action of the New
Orleans people against Anderson is outrageous.
and is especially unkind to the President, as he
could no longer place any faith in their assur-
ances of peaceful intentions. He believed the
rule of Gems Sherman and Butler was neces-
sary to bring the lawless of New Orleans to
their senses. He said that the effect Of this
unjust and ungrateful condition of affairs now
presented at New Orleans would be to make it
impossible for the President, or those who had
been struggling to put behind them all bitter
ness and hate, to do anything hereafter for
them, and that this would go to tde whole
world.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Jobn R. Leonard,
Representative in Congress from Louisiana and
formerly Supreme Court judge of that state,
says that Louisiana is sovereign state and has
a right to try and convict any of her citizens
without interference by other states or by the
the United States. She has been regularly &C
knowledged as state by the President and
Federal government, and as to trials in her
courts. he would ask in the words of Boss
Tweed, fWhat are you going to do about it?"
If John Sherman should be indicted aud con-
victed, they would as soon SEMI him to the
penitentiary as Anderson and Wells
