aside their savage instincts and customs, and
they are now law-abiding, frugal, and indus
trious.. These Poncas are OF this class.
Indeed, We are informed the same th1ag may
be said OF tho entire tribe.
For many years the Poncas had lived
quietly and peacabIy upon the reservation IN
Southeastern Dakota which the Government
had guaranteed them forever. They had
built themselves houses, cultivated crops,
acquired property of all kinds,-in fact, Ind
become civilized, and we're useful citizens
No authority can be: found for the Govern
ment requiring them to give up their homes,
nor for its removing them to the Indian Ter
ritory. This action of the Government re-
garding them was without law, and in abso-
lutte violation of the ag agreement which had
been made with them. The removal Of the
Poncas from their homes was as unjust as it
would be to require The Six Nations in Gen.
trail New York to move to the Indian Territory,
and it would be equally es just to place Col.
PARKER, Chief of the Six Nations, formerly
Ade-de.C Camp on the staff Of Gen. GRANT and
afterwards Commissioner Of Indian Affairs
under his Administration, in the custody of
the Indian Bureau, as it would to refuse

The: United States have always treated the
Indians as conquered people. The laws
enacted by Congress for their government
are based Solely upon the idea that they are
savages, and that such laws were necessary
not only for the protection Of our frontier
population but for that Of the Indians them-
selves. It is time now to recognize the fact
that many Indians have become civilized, and
that for the government Of such these laws
are both unwise and unjust. Means should
be devised by which an Indian, when he has
attained the necessary degree Of civilization,
shall be released from the arbitrary control
Of the Indian Bureau, and allowed all the
rights and immunities Of free man. The
Habeas Corpus act, as defined BY Judge
DuNDY, it is true, grants him these rights;
but as Indian reservations are usually located
at points far removed from civil authority,
the Indian is practically denied all rights
under this act" If the principle which per-
vades Judge DuNDx's decision, whatever may
be said Of some Of it's details. is sustained,
and the Indian, can feel that in abandoning
his savage life and becoming civilized be
can be protected by the same laws which
protect the white man, it will probably do
far more to accomplish the result for which
the Indian Bureea processes to be working,
and which the Government certainly desires,
than continuance of the present system.
