| Ill., ~o,><,~t Of Moso- Gax,
commanding the military division of the
Pacific, says that there are at present no
hostile Indians anywhere in this diyi-
sion. He calls particular attention of the
| War and Interior Departments to the
case of certain Piute Indians who were
taken away from their tribe and homes
in California and carried to an Indian
Reservation among strange people. He
says their return to their tribes and
home should not be considered q ques-
| ton of convenience or ceremony, but
matter of good faith and mercy.
General Mcdowell, in conclusion,
says: Il do not know thet it is expected
of me at this late day of my service to
offer any recommendation as to the gen
eral good of the army; still l will VEN
ture to bring one question to tho notice
of the War Department witRa view to
Congressional action, because l have
found it one of the great causes of in
convenience and delay in the adminstra-
ton of the duties imposed by law. This
is the hours of sessions of court mar
tials, making it illegal to sit after 3
o'clock in the afternoon. A reference
to Lord Macauley's history of England
will show this limitation was imposed by

was the custom of officers and gentle-
men to be in such state after dinner
as to unfit them for the exercise of
their judicial functions. But officers do
not dine at 3 O'Clock now, nor do they
get drunk when they dine, and the re-
striotion has ceased to have any justif-
cation. 1t is simply relic of the past,

| Trade Report.
New YORK, Nov. 1.-THE state of
general trade shows an appreciabls i'm
provement over last week, but now that
the disturbing element of heated po-
litical) )campaigu is over. the mercantile
community may be expected to settle
down to business with renewed vigor.
II seems to be the sentiment of the
business public that the change wrought
in the political complexion Of the coun
try, resulting from Tuesdays battle of
ballots, &ill be productive of no i'll
effect. Yet sweeping change is al
ways regarded for q time with moreOr
less of anxiety, as encroaching upon
the fiscal policy of the country. Re
suits of the election are pretty generally
regarded as pointed intimation that
the people have become weary of paying
war taxes half generation after the
war is over, and having large portion
of the revenue diverted to illeeitimate
purposes. The majority in the present
Congress have now the opportunity of
making a record ON tariff and internal
tax questions which will 60 far to regain
for themselves the confidence of the
country, which the elections of Tuesday
would seem to indicate what has been
to . largo extent lost.
The money market is still stringent,

however, is small, and not evenly dis
