THE UTE INVESTIGATION.
Resume OF the Testimony Taken by the
House Committee on Indian Affairs.

Resume OF the Testimony Taken by the
House Committee on Indian Affairs.
Miss Josie Meeker's testimony before the
committee was TO the effect that tie Indians
were melted to the outbreak by their intense
native aversion to take on civilized modes Of
life They argued that, il once they began to
pillow the land and raise stock, they would be
expected to continue in the new life Their
young men would grow up with no taste for
The chase and the wild, savage life which has
characterized them for centuries. Ano, her
hardship would be the stoppage of Government
annuities, which is now the sweetest boon to
the Indians of Colorado Thornburgh NAV
have acted with too great precipitancy, and his
campaign threw the Utes into great consterna-
ton
Miss Meeker said that a good many
OF the soldiers were furiousy drunk
at the time of the Thornburgh fight There
were barrels of whisky in the vicinity to which
the soldiers had full access. At the time of the
massacre of her father the Indians we're in
liquor. She denied that the exchange Of tho
lS,UOO acres for 1000 acres 10y the Southern
Utes could have furnished the pretext for the
outrage, because the White River Ules lost
nothing by the exchange. More than that, they
professed to be glad that their Southern
brethren had been outwitted. IF you had
held on to your land as we do, you would not
now suffer-" said ,ney, III derision. She also
disposed of the story of the Fort Rawlirs
'affair, wherein IL IL alleged by Leeds ana Gen.
Fisk that the Indians were deprived OF food
aud clothing for long time She said that
this never affected the White River Utes in the
least, and that they never made 1t the basis Of
q complaint.
Gov. Pitkin, Of Colorado. testified that, to
the best of his belief, the cause of the Ute
outbreak WAS the autpathy or the savages to
work and the fear which they entertained that
with the advance Of viization they would be
compelled to abandon the chase and work the
coil for a living Gov. Pi'kn stated that
the charges made against Meeker- by the In
dams were that he was trying to educate their
children, 10 induce them to cultivate the soil,
aud was blowing up their land for cultivation.
They did not complain Of his njustice or dis
honesty, nor did they charge that the citizens
OF Colorado had trespassed on their laud or
infringed upon their rights In any way, but
simply that Meeker was carrying out the in
structions of the Interior Department
in asking them to adopt the customs
OF civilized life. The Indians, said
the Governor, would neither stay on their
reservation nor entertain the idea that they
we're bound TO do 40. They wandered all over
the State and set forests on fire for the pur-
pose of driving game into the parks, where
they slaughter them wantonly, not for any
benefit TO themselves, but to injure the whites,
who set great value on game. He also test
fed that the Indians wsntonly destroyed timber
of their reservation because they knew it was
valuable to the whites.

A Story OF Lincoln.

The jmperious Stanton, then Secre-
tary of War, took a fancy one day to a
house in Washington that Lamon had
just bargained for. He ordered the
latter to vacate instanter. Lamon not
only did not vacate, but went to Stan
ton and said that he would kill him if
he interfered with the house. Stanton
was furious at the threat, and made it
known at once to Lincoln. The latter
said to the astonished War Secretary /:
"Well, Stanton, il. Ward has said he
will kill you he certainly will, and I'd
advise you to prepare for death without
further delay" The President prom
ised, however, to do what he could to
appease the murderous Marshal, and
this was the end of Stanton's attempt
on the house.

TIE MAINE MIDDLE.

The Supreme Court of Maine rendered de-
cision on Jan. % covering the questions sub
mitted to them by the Fusion Legislature. As
was anticipated, the decision affirmed the
validity of the Republican Legislature, and
was adverse to the Fusionists upon every
point The opinion, which is signed by
all the members of the court, concludes with
these words: "A legally organized Legislature
being now in existence and exercising its con-
sttutional functions, IT follows that no conven-
ton of members-eect of either house can
exist which can be treated as nucleus
for another organization. Two Govern
ments claiming 10 be in existence as valid and
entitled 10 obedience of the people, both cannot
rightfully exist at the same time: but one
Government can be recognized and obeyed.
The responsibility and solemn duty are i'm
posed upon us to determine which il entitled
to judicial recognition. We, therefore, after
due deliberation and consideration of all mat
ters involved, affirm and declare our judgment
to be that the Senate whose presiding officer is
Hon. Joseph A. Locke, and the House of Rep
resentatives. whose presiding officer liz Hon.
George Il. Weeks, constitute the legal and con-
stitutional Legislature of the State"
The Fusion Legislature, after prolonged
secret session, adjourned on the 2Sth Of Janu-
airy, to meet the first Wednesday in August
next Many of the members go home not to
return here before that date; others go back to
the people OF their districts to abide by their
decision as TO joining or remaining out of the
State House Legislature, while still others have
taken their seats among their Republican
brethren. The Republicans at once removed
the militia from the State House. The Fusion
Gov. Smith has gone home, aad the @war" is
considered at an end.
