From the Indians.

PROGRESS OF THE UTE CoMMISSIoN-CoLORoW
VOTES FOR WAR TO THE KNIFE.
DENVER, December 10.-A dispatch to-
day saws that Colorow cast his knife upon
the floor and expressed his vote for war;
but the fact Of the other Indians retalh-
ing their knives overpowered bis vote.
AS it was perceived that no other ln-
dians wished to follow the example OF
Colorow, two of the Utes arose from
Their seats in the council-room and went
out. After talking to some Indians out
side, they immediately mounted their
horses and rode away. It is evident that
those Indians outside had been waiting for
q signal which should call them 10 arms,
and at no time were any more than
hundred feet from the cOuncll-room.
Every Ute at the agency carried win MIN
more arms than any two soldiers OF the
regular army. Yesterday brought out also
the fact that Ouray's respect for the Pres!.
dent is due to his thinking that the Great
Father is elected by and rules over the
whole world. In one OF his speeches ne
made that assertion, and Mr. ToWnser,
the interpreter, not exactly understanding
what he meant By it, repeated the question.
His answer showed the fact plainly that he
considered WASHINGTON the centre OF the
universe and President Hayes the ruler OF
all nations. He has not been undeceiyed,
aud will not be by this Commission. lt Is
now plain that this friendship Tor The whites
Is assumed for policy, and be thinks II It
were necessary the armies OF the world
could be called TO crush bis tribe.
