THE MAINE CONTROVERSY.

Judging from the amount of telegraphic
news received concerning the political situa-
ton in Maine, it is reasonable to suppose that
the present war between the factions in the
Pine Tree State is the theme of general dis
cussion throughout the East. There appears
to be no expression of lndep ,ndent opinion.
Republicans are ~eXhausting heir vocabulary
of abuse in denouncing the infamous out
rage of Governor Garcelon and his conspira-
tors,'' and the Democrats are equally violent
in their expressions of Indignation concerning
the wicked methods of the Republican leaders.
At a distance of over three thousand miles
from the scene of contention it is difficult to
form a correct opinion as to the merits or
either the Democratic or Republican side of
the controversy; but from the fact that the
political adherents of Senator Blaine, are
making open threats Of AIMED hostility to the
State government as instituted by Governor
Garcelon, 1t is safe to conclude that the Re-
publican cry of fraud is not based on a very
secure foundation. Ifthe stalwarts had any le-
gal claim to the control ofthe State machinery,
it is unreasonable to suppose that the trick
cry or dishonesty of the Fusionists could long
succeed in depriving them Of their rights.
The Republicans expose the weakness of
their cause by the threatened resort to vio-
lence, and if they desire the sympathy of the
country in their grievance, they will find it
expedient to battle for their rights by legal
processes alone. There is no logic in bullets
nor patriotism in resistance to duly constitu-
ted authorities.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 20.-Represcntative
Bedford, of Colorado, had an interesting in
terview with Secretary SchurZ to-day on the
Indian question, and especially with refer
ence to the failure of the Utes to deliver up
those engaged in the murder and massacre,
which failure las occasioned some uneasiness
in Washington General Hatch had tele-
glaphed that he would bring five chiefs from
the southern agency to indian Creek. and
wanted 10 know whether he should bring
them to Washington. This telegram led to
the interview. Judge Bedford was in favor
of bringing them on. in the hopes that they
might agree to the removal of the tribe to the
Uintah reservations, and the Secretary was Of
the same opinion. The present relations of
the Indians to the treaty was then discussed.
1t was conceded that the hostile White River
Utes had forfeited their treaty rights, and
were to be dealt with as though no treaty had
ever been made with them. Judge Bedford.
however, took the more advanced position
that the tribe should be treated as a unit. He
argued that they refused as a tribe to deliver
up the Indians engaged in the massacre. and
that although all were not originally con-
cerned in the wal on Thornbureh and the
massacre at the agency they were accessories
after the fact, and were as guilty as the origi-
nal participants. The Secretary in reply said
he would make a careful study of the treaty
liitiO II ""o lpcoic-N 'A'oe oiN iNubl III
the tribe to deliver up those making war, and
that a failure to do so %abrogated the treaty.
Both agreed that these Ctes should be re-
moved to the Uintah reservation, across the
border line of Colorado int Utah Territory,
and that if they were not removed trouble
would be likely to occur in the spring. 1t is
quite possible that if the Indians refuse to
agree to a peaceful removal the government
will compel them to 60. During the inter-
view a portion of the official correspondence
on this subject was read, and Judge Bedford
thereupon remarked that the Secretary had
made a great mistake in not publishing it al
the time it was had, ard said it would have
relieved the Secretary from considerable Cen
sure that he thought was undeserved.
Representative Conger, of Michigan, stated
to-day that he intends to renew the rgumen-
tive conflict when the question again comes
up in the House. He also SAID that the pa
pers in Colorado did not sustain Congress
mali Belford's view Of the subject, and that
they were opposed to the removal of the Utes
and he said when the discussion is resumed
he will have them on hand and read from
them. The Indications are hat the debate
vii! he bitter and acrimonious.

Sherman would give the Indian troubles his

Sherman could do in Washington. For tina;

WAsH1NGToN, Dec. 29.-General Grants
second visit to the State Department to-day
was at the particular request of Secretary
Evarts, with whom he remained eloseted for
nearly an hour, engaged in conversation rela-
tive to what he saw and heard or otherwise
learned in China. The special subjects of
the conference were first, the utterances of
the Chinese prime minister to General Grant
in regard to the Burlingame treaty and the
governments in this country for the restriction
of Monaghan emigration; and, second, Cen
eral Grants opinions and information con-
corning the charges of misconduct on the
part of former United States consuls in China,
including Seward and Bailey. The details
of what passed between the Secretary of
State and the eX-President cannot, Of course,
be ascertained, but there is excellent reason
to believe, both from publications which APP
peared while Grant was in china and from
remarks he has since made in private, that
his representations to Secretary Evarts on
each of these important subjects to-day were
earnestly emphatic and quite in accord with
the prevalent California sentiment.
