WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Dec 6.-The joint COM
mission, considering the transfer Of the In
dian bureau to the military department,
heard Seer ltary SchuGz to, day. He dis
claimed any personal desire to retain con
troll of the Indian service under the interi-
or department.; no branch of the depart
ments business is so troublesome and
thaukless. He thought the Indians en-
Ii led to human treatment, and that could
only be rendered through the processes of
civilization, education and kind treatment.
This the military were not fitted to pro-
mote. The secretary quoted from TIE re-
port of the Sioux commission signed by
Generals Sherman, Ferry, Augur, and
others, setting forth in effect that if peace
with the Indians was required the man
agement of their affairs should be placed
under the civil department Of the govern
ment; now, | agree with those gentlemen
on this point, there are great many of.
GERS of the army who have excellent ideas
about the Indian affairs, but it is another
thing to bring ideas with practical effect.
| The military arm of the government was
not gifted with that patient labor required
to place the hoe in the Indians hand and
to teach him how to use it. He denied
very emphatically that the red tape sys-
tenn of reporting Indian outbreaks, which
had been asserted, was required under the
present administration CT Indian affairs
whenever case arises where prompt &C.
ton is necessary, he ID person communi-
Gated with the secretary of war or the
general of the army. as the case may be
thereby causing but very few hours delay
in perfecting the necessary arrangements
to meet the emergency rather than months
as was intimated by Sherman; he claimed
that the demand for the transfer of tht
bureau from the civil to the military de
partmept was based upon assumption
rather than upon facts. History will prov,
that the Indian bureau is credited will

management, the cause Of the majority o.

Y otherwise. He did not believe such militar
officers as Generals Sherman, Sheridan
and others desired war, but subordinate
who had a reputation to make we're not s
keen for peace specially with the India
. race. The army officers who have been i
charge at Indian agencis have been yer
faithful and efficient, their duties wer
}. however in connection with an unsettle
!, state of affairs and not with view TO th
civilization of the Indians. The Secrt
tary advised the placing of troublesom
Indians on reservations under martial la
and of increasing the number of India

= hundred; this force was very reliable an
had rendered good service.

Patienccis not one of the virtues of Hon
Pohn P. Irish of Iowa City. Here is what
he says of the Presidents message,
The reading of Hayes's message is a
trial to the patience. For man who
holds stolen Office by frauds on free sutf-
rage that stun and astonish the country by
their magnitude, to pirate and preach
against the south because it did not elect
some more republican thieves like himself,
is trife too much.
On the other hand. granting that he
was honestly elected by the vote of Louisi-
ana bis first official act was to organize a
commission to unseat Packard, who had
more than thousand votes in excess of
his own. So if Hayes claim his Office by
right and by virtue of being honestly elect
ed, in unseating Packard he has been
guilty of greater outrage upon suffrage
and upon the very negro voters over whom
he slobbers, than he lyinglv lays at the doors
of the southern democrats, even if every
word the sniveling fraud says we're true
Let his admirers take either horn of
the dilemma and he is from any point of
view disgraceful fraud.

VIENNA, Dec, 6.-The ministerial crisis
at Constantinople has produced a very
unfavorable impression here. Kheireddin
Pasha, the new Grand Vizier, is one of
Austria's bitterest adversaries; he urged
the Sultan to finally resist the Austrian
occupation of Turkish territory; he is re-
garded here as an unscrupulous schemer,
capable of Fastening Turkey to her ruin.
The change of ministry is believed to be
mainly attributable to Russian intrigues.
