The New York Tribune says: "Thc
former Private Secretary of President
Polk has been discovered, old and poor,
in Santa Fe. He knew Andrew Jack
son, and describes an incident that
happened while he was staying at the
Generals house, after the death of Mrs.
Jackson. One morning he arose very
early and started to walk toward the
old family cemetery. He approached
rather close to the grave of Mrs. Jack
son, and was surprised to find the Gen
eral himself kneeling over it. He re-
traced his footsteps as soon as possible,
but not too soon for the quick eye of
the old soldier to see him. Afterward
he spoke to his visitor about the mat
ter, and said that the act in which he
had beheld him was no uncommon one.
Every morning, he said, he went to the
grave, for he thought it the proper
place for him to conduct his religious
devotiOns."

WASHINGTON. Dec. 4.-The joint commission,
having under consideration the proposition of
transferring the Indian bureau to the war de-
partment, met to-day. The first witness was
DR.. A. G. Barstow, Providence R. l., chairman
of the board of Indian commissioners, and rep
resenting the congregational church in behalf
of the education and conversion of the Indian
He said, in his judgment, the proposed
change was unwise; that, if effected it would
certainly work adversely to Christian opera
tions now in progress. He recited at length
many interviews had with army officers on the
subject, and said those favorng the transfer
appeared to have but one reason THEREFORE name
ly, that the war department paid better salaries
for similar duty than did the interior depart
ment.
he thought it impossible for the body Of In
dian commissioners to work In harmony with
army officials as 1T did with civilians, and gave
as his reason that the army was formed for war,
to subdue enemies and make peace rather than
to promote religion and friendship, In his opin-
ion, in five years time uIder the supervision
of Christian discipline, the entire Indian race
could be civilized for half the amount of mon
ely which would necessarily be expended it their
being placed under the ruling of the war de-
partment, and under the former plan, in the
time mentioned, he sure the aid of the
military to keep the Indians peaceful would be
no required than it is at present in our
very good men in the army, but did not think
them adapted to the requirements of Indian
agents, and was positive they are incapable OF
promoting religion, civilization, etc.
e. NJ. KINGSLEY, OF NEW YORK,
member of the board Of Indian commissioners
and representing the Presby terian sect, also
chairman Of the purchasing committee was
the next to present his views. He said: We
need an army with hoes and spades for the
Indians, rather than swords and rifles. If the
commission so desires he would produce the
books of his office for every expenditure made
by the board, and where purchases were made
and where forwarded, and the disposition made
of the same. He defended the Indian agents
as a body. and said their wholesale abuse wa
unwarranted. With reference to the creation o
contracts by The Indian bureau, he did not &C
cept the criticisms of the war department OF
the subject and considered it ''poor grace TO
that department to offer it, considering tn
rascally contracts which passed through tn
hands of it's officials during the late war. TIL

court FIR the western district of Virginia, in
removing from the custody of the state officials,
certain persons held for trial for murder and

forcement of police regulations and the assump-
tion of control of the domestic affairs of state

devoted to discussion of the State debt. The
Governor says: No excuse for non payment of
the debt can be urged save inability
