counsel for the World, sent letter to the
New York Herald last week correcting the

The Mohawk Indian conference commit
tee, after leaving the White house, pro-
ceeded to the interior department, where
they had long interview with Secretary
Lamar, and through their chairman pre-
sented to him written statement of the
views of the conference. In reply to a
brief address by Gen. Fisk, Secretary La
mar said he would in his forthcoming re-
port acknowledge his obligations to the
philanthropic and benevolent associations
and individuals in the work he had to carry
on. The ultimate object was the ciyiliza-
ton of the Indian. A crisis
had been reached in the history
of that interesting race that must
be met by some methods differing from
those hitherto pursued. His own knowl-
edge of the Indians wants was, as yet, too
limited to make him competent to formu-
late general policy adapted to the present

cess must be of improving the Indian out
of his present condition into civilization,
and it would be a gradual process. The
first point should be to secure their reserva-
tions to them (either as now located and COM
pressed into smaller Space), i'll fee simple,
so that their titles shall be inviolable. At
the same time he did not advocate the
division of the enlire reservation among the
Indians and believed the abandonment of
the reservation system at this time would
be premature. 1t was the
END TO BE SOUGHT,
but the first step would be after bringing
the Indians, with their consent, into limits
proportionate to their numbers, to protect
them from the destructive influences of the
stronger civilizations surrounding them.
Whites should be vigorously excluded, and
when the reservations had been partially
subdivided, considerable portion ought to
be left undivided and undistributed. In
the transition state the tribal system must
be adhered to. 1t was the normal condition
of the race and to take him out of it would
be to change his social condition before he
was fitted for higher civilization. He was
impressed with the belief that the Christian
religion was the instrumentality for the
elevation of his race. He knew
that from his own experience
in the South and his knowledge of the
tribes in the Indian Territory, the Indian
could not stand it to be thrown out unpro-
tected into the civilization of this country.
1t would be almost as bad as eXtermination
He should be improved out of one condition
into another. If the interests of the white
people alone were concerned the problem
could be solved by making the Indian
civilized man and giving him the right of
suffrage. After swallowing 1000, 900 black
slaves and digesting that mass pretty well,
we should not strain at this. But, con-
tinued the secretary, to make the Indian a
citizen at present would be sad service to
him, and there would not be much of him
left if it were done suddenly. Those who
are ready for civilization he would push on,
and those who are not he would protect.

Railway Mail Service.

WASHINGTON, NOV, 10.-From the an
nual report of General Superintendent
Jameson of the railway mail service, it ap-
pears that the mileage increase during the
past year was only 4,007 miles. The in
crease in the number of pieces of mail mat
ter handled. exclusive Of registered matter,
was 42S, 397, 500. In total distribution of
4, 4,94S, ,059. 400 pieces, the number of errors
chargeable to the clerks of the railway mail
service was but SS7.704, or one error to
each 5,574 pieces handled, being at the rate
of 224 errors per clerk per annum. The
average percentage of mail correctly dis
tributed was SO. This is the highest rate
attained since the establishment OF the serv
ice. The general superintendent recon-
mends that congress be asked to empower
the postmaster general to pay to the widow
or minor children of any clerk killed while
on duty an amount equal to one years sal
ary of the grade to which deceased be-
longed. The estimate for special facilities
(fast mails) on trunk lines for the ensuing
year is the same in amount as the sum set
apart for that purpose for the current fiscal
year, viz: S251. 1875 The amount of the
estimate for railroad postal cars is S1,SSS,-
SIT, which is an increase of Z per cent
over the current fiscal year. The sum of

postal clerks. This is an increase of per
