The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1879-01-30

An under current of some interest
is noted in recent Developments of the
Fitz John Porter case. 1t is stated
that when Major Asa Gardner was ap-
pointed recorder of the commission he
shared in the view that Gen. Pope's
campaign was series of hap-hazard
movements ending in disaster, and that
Gen. Porter has been made a scape-
goat. 1t is stated that had Major
Gardner continued in this opinion the
case would probably have been con-
cluded 10y this time. But on studying
the campaign of August, 1862, the re-
corder arrived at the conclusion that
the sentence of the court was substan-
TALLY just, and that Gen. Pope's cam
paisn resulted disastrously through q
combination of subordinate officers,
amounting almost to conspiracy.
Major Gardner had always been known
us strong Mcclellan man, but in
studying up the case he has unearthed
information and documentary evidence
which incul pates Mcclellan as well as
General Franklin. The public have
not hitherto known how narrowly Nc
Clellan and Franklin escaped, until
Major Gardner presented copies of
Secretary Stanton's letter of Gen. Hal
leck, Hallecks reply, and President
Lincoln's order directing an investiga-
tion. The production of these mater
ials for history, it is said, has exploded
IA mine under the petitioners very feet,
and has brought on crisis that may
possibly develop the whole story of the
underlying military intrigue that en-
ters into the case. We have these de-
tails through eastern journals; and
though they may be much exaggerated
it is not unlikely that they constitute
one of the reasons why the inquiries Of
the commission are protracted SO long.

NUMBER 23.
The Indian Business.


The recently published letter of
Gen. Miles states two facts with an
important bearing upon the Indian
question: First the total number of
Indians is about 100000. Second,
the following tribes are mounted and
armed, and ready to 60 upon the war
path at short notice: Sioux, Assini-
BONES, Gros Ventres, Crows, Arapa-
hoes, Cheyennes, Kiowas, Comanches,
Apaches, Navajoes, Utes, Bannacks,
Spokanes, Umatillas and Blackfeet.
This gives us an idea of ''the size of
the contract" so to speak; and of
itself is strong argument in favor
of a change in Indian management.
Experience, bloody as we'll as expen-
sive, has proved that the interior de-
partment, however good its intentions,
cannot keep the Indians even de-
Gently quiet, to say nothing of con-
tentment. Every year there is war
or rumors of var, and permanent
peace is seem .gly an utter impossi-
bilitv The sturdiest advocate of the
so-called "Quaker policy" is COM
PEELED to admit that thus far it has
been, directly orindirectly productive
of results entirely at variance with
Quaker principles and practices; that
is, quarreling and fighting. Now as
the quarreling is done by the interior
department and its agents, while the
fighting is invariably assigned to the
war department and it's soldiers, COM
mon justice demands that both parts
of the business be turned over to
those who have the hardest. If the
sword has to be called in to help out
the olive branch, let the. ST ne hand
hold both and be responsible for the
use of both. This would simplify
matters very materially, and simple
machine is always better than COM
plicated one.

A correspondent at Applegate writes

A correspondent at Applegate writes
the Sentinel that man of rather un-
certain age made preparations to get
malried-that is, he put a new roof
on bis house, papered and swept it,
and bought some fine furniture-but,
by the way, had not yet asked the girl.
He told friend that he knew enough
about girls and was sure that she
would have him. He went to see the
girl. asked the important question, but
she said no. So he drove right home,
threw out the furniture, broke the
stove with sledge, and at last accounts
was shooting at the clock.

THE TIGER MINE AND MILL.

A correspondent 10 the Boston Economist has the following in regard to the Tige. property at Bradshaw:
 As before stated, the scarcity of wafer prevents the continuous running ofthe mill ihis scarcity would not have occurred in ordinary years, but there has been adrought this year unpareiteied in the history of the country; bat the cross-cut between'the lode aud the main shaft will insure an abundant supply Of water in the future. The last re- port from Supt. Helm says, I have run .hirty feet in the north drift in solid black sulphurets, worth s400 per ton.
 The Tiger mlne, in consideration of ifs immense lode, the quantity and quality of the ore opened up, the large amount of rich ore on hand, the complete machinery for re- dncing it and excayating it, all combine to make II good and valuable property. IT. IS located Tn the midst of a pine forest where wood and timber can be obtained at the expense of chopping and hauling it but short distance.
 II is the intention of the company to re. organize and incorporate in New York. and place it's control in the hands of Eastern men of nigh character and standing. The
 P"Ny iS "o" out oi ueot, ana surplus IS being accumulated. It is the intention. m short time, to pay regular monthly dividends of twenty-five cents per share. It IS expected that this can be done, and at the same time, constantly accumulate a sur plus for the purchase oi an additional twen- ty stamps for the mill, to be ready for oper- ations next spring. The superintendent and X. D. Allen, one of the directors of the company, who recently examined the mine, report the necessity of increasing the capac. ity of the mill by the erection of twenty additional stamps"
