and beat her about the face so badly that she was
obliged TO paint her flesh to hide the marks OF DIS

spending most of the night in resorts the Bowery,
Mcdonald went home and found his mistress asleep
in a rocklng-char in the rear Of the becr-shop. He

the least civilized of ALL since the massacre of their
agent two years since, have been wandering IN the
mountains of Northwestern Colorado. Ii has been
the desire of the Government to settle these Indians
upon the nitah River in order 10 bring them under
the civizing influences of this more advanced band
This has been an uipori ant part OF the work OF the
Commission the past season, and they report good
success.
Tie " Uncompahgre" band, heretofore dwelling in
the valley of the UncOmpahgrc River in Southwest

Utah where the White River makes its junction
with the Green. The work with this band much

successful i'm every particular and they are now
well settled in a fertile and healthy region.
An attempt has been made TO settle the southern
Utes upon certain rivers in Southern Colorado. near

place is not regarded as desirable, OWING partly
10 a lack of agricultural lands. The COmmis-
sion consequently recommend a, consolida-

the Government through this Commission is
to break up wandering habits and tribal
relations, and to settle the Indians on
farms held in sevoralty so that they
may gradually become citizens. in this work
the Commission feel assured of complete success AT
first the Ute Indians would hear nothing OF houses,
farms and schools but at length. in all the bands
many of the head men and chiefs have become
hearty friends of the new departure.

THE ORGANIZATION OF THE SENATE.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Several leading Repub-
can Senators have expressed the opinion that the
contest for the offices of the Senate will not be re-
newod and that the present incumbents will be re-
tanned until the 4th of March, 1883. The resolu-
.ion under which Mr.. Shober became acting-secre-
tary was introduced by Senator Edmunds, and pro-
viled that he should continue to act as secretary
until his successor was appointed. There will thus
be no vacancy and no necessity for action on the
part of the Senate uRless the Republicans see fit to
possess themselves of the patronage which they are
now disnclined to do. MIR. Shnber has had the
necessary blanks prepared for use in his office.
