Republica he pever showed me any
writing from Gov. Hayes and did not
speak about his having been invited by
Hayes to go there, but was regarded as the
personal friend and special representatives
of Dir. Hayes; during the contest there
was very enthusiastic myself and requir-
ed no pledges or assurances from any one
do not know whether any such assuran-
ces were given any members Of the Retur-
ming Board; Noyes gave me, | think. the
gravest assurances that President HAYES
was very staunch Republican, aud that
he had voluntarily pledged himself tc
protect Southern Republicans, and he
called my attention to something that had
been published to that effect-sOme speech
he had made or letter he had written; he
gave me assurances that he would work a:
hard to save the State ticket, as be did t
save the national ticket. and that wa:
entirely satisfactory.

Indian Troubles.

PORTLAND, Oregon, June 27.-It is
the belief of old residents in Eastern Ore
gon that all Indians in tbatsection are dis
affected and that they will be ready on
slight provocation to take up arms against
the whites. Even the Warm Spring
Indians. who have heretofore been strong
friends of the government and who have
on several occasions rendered efficient ser
vice against the murderous tribes of their
own race refuse to Join their forces against
the Baunocks and it is thought that a
large party of them will join the hostiles.
1t begins to look as if the Indians intend
to do their worst this summer.
SILVER CITY, June 27.-In the recent
attack Of Berpard's command upon the
hostiles the latter were reported to have
800 warriors. The Indians were not
aware of the presence of the soldiers.
Their stock was unguarded, Bernard
addressed bis troops, informing them that
they were close by the enemy and could
whip them He charged them not to re
treat If they did they would be shot, and
that they might as we'll die by shots fired
by the savages as by our men. The sol
diers went silently forward aud attacked a
force three times greater. When within
500 yards of the enemy the order was
given to charge McGregor's company
was near by and they charged also. The
savages fed in dismay. Large numbers
Of them were killed.
An encounter took place between Bear
skin, Bannock chief, and Sergeant Rich
mond, of McGregor's company. The ser
geant finally killed bis man.
Between l ard clock on the morning
of the oath the hostiles were compelled tC
retreat They were pursued by Bernard
ten miles. Gems. HoNa ard, Downey and
Miles subsequently arrived on the ground,
Also Bendere's company. Allare anxious
for fight The body of one soldier cap
tured by the Indians was cut up and
burned The Indian camp was destroyed
by the troops. Many hostiles were
wounded.

THE TRUE TREATMENT OF THE INDIANS.
The third cause of the war is the
constant incursions of whites into
Indian settlements. This, the Doc
tor thinks, cannot be helped. A
few years ago the great Northwest
was Sitting Bulls hunting ground ;
now it is rapidly filing up with
settlers from New England and the
East and all this country is going
to bo the balance to the South. The
men who go there are mon who be-
lieye in and love freedom.
The true treatment of the Indians
will be found i'll change from the
present system, than which nothing
could be worse. It is disgrace at
homo and abroad. During the
present policy we have had six of
the bloodiest wars with Indians.
But what are we to do with them ?
We are to put them completely into
the hands of the army. The reason
why so much blood and treasure are
wasted in Indian warfare is thlt we
have not Ill army large enough to
keep the Indians quiet, and the
Doctor considered that the govern
ment was responsible for the death
Of General Custer and his 300 brave
men. The army has more to do
with the Indians than any other arm
OF the government. It stays among
them and its officers know more
about them than nine tenths of the
agents can know during their COM
paratively brief stay. The method
Of civilizing the Indians ought to be
changed. His country is a pastoral
country and not agricultural. The
Indian is II nomadic in his habits
ani you can't get him to hoe IL pota
to pltcA, bat he c.n be male a
herdsm"n Of. Instead of giving
them me.;t, sugar, 81, they shoul
be given cattle and sheep, and it
will not lie long before they will
be able to supply Eastern markets
with m"at DR.. Hoyt would have
the government open schools in all
its unused western forts and give
the Indian children 6 common
school education, and leave their
Gin istianization to be taken up by
the churches voluntarily. The
present system unites church and
State, and is subsersive of the
American theory, which would keep
both separate. Because of the
character of so many Indian agents
IN that new country religion md dis
honesty are synonymous in the
minds of the rod men The govern.
ment ought to educate them and
then the church will Christianize
them.
