GENERAL SHERMAN and Quartermaster
General Meigs on the 4th Dec, gave
their opinion at length on the subject
Of the Indian Bureau transfer. Gener.
al Meigs is an officer of experience and
sense, and has the confidence of Con-
gress to as great an extent. perhaps, as
any other man living. His opinion
will have great weight. He thinks the
transfer will be beneficial to both races.
General Sherman favors it also, but
General Sherman is not a man of great
influence with Congress. The pro-
posed change is certainly growing in
favor, especially since Secretary Schurz
says it is impossible for his Department
to take care Of the Indians without q
great deal more money and without
saddling upon the country new and
numerous class Of ofice holders. It
is safe to predict that Government
money viii not Be spent us loosely in

The Preside N rs Message.

The Presidents Message seems to be
a general disappointment to Republi-
cans as we'll as Democrats Republic
cans think it not strong enough on the
Southern question. Democrats think
it is too strong. Considered as whole,
however, it is acknowledged to be a
very weak State paper.

SECRETARY SHERMAN prepared and had
submitted to the House and Senate tue
bills providing for the issue by Govern
ment of certificates for SO and larger
amounts, bearing interest of 3.65, and
convertible within year into four per
cent bonds. This will have the earnest
support of Secretary Sherman and
other members Of the Cabinet.

A Startling Rumor.

Mr.. V. H. Pease, who came over
from Placerville last evening, informs
us that Chinaman arrived there yes.
terday morning from Bonanza City.
He reported that the place had been
attacked by about two hundred Indians
but was so badly scared no particulars
could be obtained from him. Our latest
news from that section brought by
white men is that large number of Iu-
dams had followed the Deadwood trail
to point near Cape Horn, which is
thirty miles this side of Bonanza City
1t may be that the report is too true,
and the place captured, which would
be an easy matter for even small force,
as good many Of the men Of that town
were out after the band that passed
near Round valley few days ago, tax
ing with them most Of the improved
arms.-ldaho World, Aug. 30th.

Advocate not Oppose.

The Boise Statesman objects to in.
cooperating the three counties forming
northern Idaho in the proposed State OF
Washington, because Idaho would there
by lose an extensive section of country
which is being rapidly settled by indus.
trious farmers who can be made to pay
taxes, to be used in governing the sparse.
ly settled mining region of that Terri.
tory. The settlers in the three counties
understand the situation, and are unan
imously in favor of the change. Did
the Statesman ever study over the idea
that by Incorporating the three counties
the chances for adding the Senators and
Congressman from another Pacific coast
State, with power to demand the aid Of
the general government in opening the
Columbia, the building of the p. D. &
s. l.. r. Il. and kindred enterprises Of
more benefit to the rest OF Idaho than
could the taxes collected in the three
counties during the next hundred years,
would be very greatly advanced? We
trow not. The Statesman is too able a
sheet to advocate the selfish doctrine i,
has suggested. Its editors should see
the vast advantages which would insure
to the balance of the Territory by The
admission Of the proposed State O
Washington, and seeing these should
help to accomplish the end arrived at
Union.

The situation

The effect of the campaign agaius:
the Indians this Summer has resulted in
the killing of but very few Indians, and
the greatest part of those reported kill.
ed We're killed by Umatilla Indians.
The troops have done great deal of
marching and counter marching in
many instances at rapid rates, yet the
Indians have generally managed to keep
little in advance of them, SO as to be
out OF reach of soldiers bullets. Sew.
eral hundred Of the unarmed, and old
Indians, squaws and children tired Of
keeping pace in the fight with the attn.
letic warriors, have given themselves
up as prisoners. The remainder are
scattered into small bands over vas,
country, and seem to retain their hos.
tility and spirit for murder aud in scat
tered position are in condition to be
come more dangerous and deadly foe:
then when massed together. The nu
merous recent murders of prominen,
citizens show this.

Objections Urged.

The Columbia Chronicle is now un.
der the editorial charge of M. w.
Mitchell, who in a leader under the
head Of 1.-THE State of Washington, I"
makes sensibles replies to two objections
urged by the Boise Statesman against
the absorbing by the new State, of three
northern counties of Idaho. The first
of the &atesman's objections as put by
the Chronicle (for we never receive the
Statesman is "On the ground Of the
doubtful policy Of the government to
cut off Of our Territory to add to an.
other" 1t is answered by saying that
the government cut off from Washing.
ton Territory to make Idaho, and it is
equally right that the government
should now restore it back again. The
other objection is that it should not "be
cut off without the consent of the bal.
ance Of Idaho Territory" The answer
to this is that there is no identity OF
interest between north and south Idaho
while there is between north Idaho and
Washington Territory, and that the PEG.

belong where their commercial and So
cial interests ally them. The States.

The Constitution of w Washington


The Oregonian of the 3lst, ult., has
an article on the Constitution of Wash
ington, in which it says:
at would be uncandid to say that
the Constitution is altogether without
merit. 1t has. in fact, some very good
provisions. Many of the articles appear
to have been carefully studied, and
there is judicious distribution of pow
ers and responsibilities"
1t claims that the people of the Terri.
tory seem to be Indifferent upon the
question, that the Constitution "has no
active support on the part of the press"
"but some very earnest opposition. -
These are facts and cannot be denied.
Whether or not between this and the
time OF voting on the instrument, there
will be revival of interest upon the
subject it is difficult to determine. We
have seen but two papers in Washing
ton that oppose outright, the Statesman
and the Tacoma Times, both of which
are in the interests of the monopolies Of
the Territory. The apathy of the bal.
ance OF the press is culpable and cannot
be we'll accounted for, except that they
are waiting to be prompted by the action
OF the people themselves, instead of en-.
deavoring to elucidats the advantages
and disadvantages of the State govern.

objections to the instrument itself, but
does not urge them as fatal or very ma.

Gov. Brayman OH the Indian Question.

>soS' nIdymaH OIL tue IHul1u \kueStlOns
From a letter received in this city
from Gov. Brayman, we are permitted
to copy the following:
81 counsel moderation and caution, l
merely mean that our people ought not
to iDjure non combatants, SO as to make
neutral Indians unfriendly, and should
not provoke fight with hostiles, until
there is chance of standing up to it.
TO fire upon Indians, under such disad-
vantages, as compels us to run away
from them, only brings obstruction up
on exposed settlements and families.
AS to the returning sNsz Perces of
last years massacres, it is quite natural
that our people who have suffered from
their murders and depredations, should
shoot them on sight. For it must be
understood that they shall not be per-
mitted to return to the scenes of their
crimes unpunished. They made them
selves outlaws, and must so remain until
atonement is made. 1t is now the pur.
pose of the civil authorities to assist and
try in the courts under indictment, all
who can be identified and taken. This
will be best when practicable. It will
stand in place of moral sense to the
savages, by reminding them that killing
women and children, and unoffending
citizens, is not Wdr, but murder--not
heroism, but crime. When they hunng
sixty of the Minnesota savages at one
drop, they did more to prevent future
outrage than was done when Joseph and
has murderers were taken to 1T. Leavcn-

ed, and Toasted, and made the objects Of
endless admiring attentions. For, there
have been no massacres in Minnesota
since that effective lesson; while the in.
dams of Idaho, doubtless encouraged by
the pleasant example and experience OF
the Nez Pcrces, have sought fame and
feasts Of fat things through the same
means. 1.-THE government can separate
the races, very well; but if they mus
live together, there must be but one law
for both. That keen sense OF justice
which is inherent, among even the
toughest of our border populations, de
mand this. When tho law fails it's ret
ributions and becomes so evidently one
} sided, the law Of retaliation and self
preservation comes ina "higher law
which cannot be stayed. When the ad
ministration Of law fails, anarchy anG

, Office, confusion, the knife and the bull

that if our humanitar;ans do not wan

went to Europe some months ago to stir
