prove OF the la" IN SO tar as 1t refers
to the matterJust treated, We object
to it for two reasons. First, the Leg

ciple Of popular choice in the County.
They then should either have allowed

would have been what it professed to
be, Local Option, and what it is not.
In the second place we object to it
on the grounds Of fair, play. Evidently
our Legislature saw two sides to the
question or they would have passed a
prohibitory law at once. If there are
two sides to the question, one Of these
must be right the other wrong, ant

WASHINGTON, Nov.

WASHINGTON, NOV. 10, 1851.
The annual reports OF Gems. Pope and Ord
have been made public.
Gen. Pope, commanding the Department OF
the Missouri, gives detailed history of the
troubles with the Indians in Colorado and New
Mexico, which, he states, have not yet been
wholly settled. OF the situation in the country,
Gen. Pope says: "With the present military
arrangements and provisions of the agreement
with the Utes, there Will certainly be no trouble
this winter"
He attributes the outbreak of Victoria to the
determined purpose of the Interior Department
to effect the removal of Lis band TO the San
Carlos Agency, Arzona, and SAYS: 81 do not
know the reasons Of the Interior Department
for insisting upon the removal but certainly
they should be cogent TO justify the great
trouble and severe losses occasioned by the at
tempt To coerce the removal"
One serious trouble with the indians has al
ways been in relation TO their food, and Gen.
Pope recommends to the Secretary of the In
terror that he forbid Indian Agentst to punish or
seek to control the actions of Indians by with
holding provisions from them.
In relation to the attempt of Capt. Paine to
COLOMBO i'll the Indian Territory, Gen. Pope
says: " 1t IL certain Capt. Paine and his follow
ers fully believe in their right TO mako such
settlement in the Oklahoma District, and are
anxious TO test the question in the United States
courts"
Gen. Ord. commanding the Department OF
Texas, reports nine men killed, two wounded
and one captured by the Indians, since Oct. l.
1879 The casualties are three less than the
previous year. He reports that the number of
assertions has increased. The General recon-
mends that strong force be maintained on the
Rio Grande TO preserve order.
Gen. McCook recommends that a law be
passed by Congress authorizing the enlistment
into the army Of $50 competent young men
Zone for each military post), to be rated as
schoolmasters, with the rank and pay of COM
