WASHINGTON JAN 20 Special. 1.-The methods
pursued In the management Of the Indian once

not always SAVIOR Of the fiery and reckless caring
of the South and are not altogether calculated 10
impress Mr. Lo' either with the justice or the

measure account for the frequent troubles WHICH,
have marked the Tennessee administration.
The following new way of paying OLD deo's
is officially reported by the Indian Office
Early in May last an annuity payment was MADE
the then agent, Mr. Carson The. Indians
had been previously notified OF the GATE
OF payment and with the assistance OF the former
enrolment the interpreter, the police ana the
chief men of the tribe the agent had prepared
a new roll, revised and corrected up to that date,
showing ,293 persons. This made the per capita
share of each Sl1 81. After he had finished
that the shares of 279 Indians amounting to
SO, $50 "a had not been called for, and as usual
in such cases. they were retained by him to be
returned to the United States Treasury.
On learning Of this the indians
who were at hand and had already received their
shares peremptoriiy demanded with arms in their
hands that these uncaled for shares be divided
amongst them in addition to what they had al
ready received. To this demand the agent at
first refused to yield but as the Indians became
insubordnate and threatening, and he believed
were in danger he consented and paid the entire
amount to them, which made an additional per
capita payment to those who were on the ground
