mindful of the difficulties surrounding
the question, we believe that the inter-
est of the Government and the good OF
the Indian will be best promoted by
transferring the management OF In
dim affairs to the War Department,
leaving it discretionary with the Secre-
tary of War TO appoint civil agents to
those agencies where, in his Judgment,
fine interest of all concerned would
be best secured by such an agent;
and the officer of the army where the
interest of the service require it. This
conclusion we have reached after n
pasient and candid investigation of the
whole question, as far as we have been
able to understand it; nor have we reli-
ed alone upon the statements and
opinions of men ms to the failures OF
the present system or its faebleness or
want of capacity to compass tins great
question or bring it to creditable Issue;
but a majority of the committee have
seen with their own eyes aud heard
with their own ears, while among the
Indians, reasons sufficient, if we had
no others to Justify, in their own minds
every conclusion to which we have
arrived.
We trust that whatever course Con
gress may choose to pursue upon this
question. such q policy may be adopted
as shall secure to the Indians of our
country that justice winch the weaker
always has the right to expect of the
stronger. and That we shall recognize
in all orr future intercourse with the
Indians the important fact that as II
race Of people they are not to he rega,-
aded as .our enemies, to be hunted down
and destroyed like wild beasts; but to
be regarded as under our care and over
sight, and that the greatest blessing We,
can secure to them is protection from
the designing, thieving scoundrels and
Villains, who hang upon their borders
like vultures around IL decaying carcass,
ready and anxious to provoke them t"
deeds Of violence, that they nlas lax"
advantages of such condition to rob
them of their homes and property, and
to drive mel women, and children out
into the pitiless storm of That injustice
and inhumanity which has well nigh
distinguished u once proud and power
ful people, aud has brought shame and
everlasting disgrace upon the high
pretensioils of American statesman
