stormy Weather at Long Branch-secre-
tary Deisno and tho Indian Policy
President Grant-Hotel Injustice.


LONG BRANCH. August 8, 1874
This morning we were under stress OF weather
ana experienced the discomforts OF a stormy day
at Q watering place. Summer hotels are con-
trived Tor pleasant weather. and the hours that Q
rainy day compels one to pass indoors are irk-
some as sort of Imprisonment. At noon 1t
frightened up and there was general turnout
The beach was thronged with bathers. romping
in the very looking sea, In front OF all the
hotels except the West End. People at the West
End are less exuberant than elsewhere. and the
beach In front of this hotel is also less satisfactory
by great deal than the beach further up


THE INDIAN PROBLEM.


Secretary Delano Is expected here to-day II Ia
thought generally that his coming may have some
relation to the Indian troubles which threaten 80
extensively on the frontier; but. OF course, only
the President and his constitutional advisers can
have any knowledge OF the special object OF such .
visit. 1t is, however, a likely conjecture, as the
topic is one that must at this moment
seriously occupy tne Presidents thoughts. This
impression Is that he Is just now thinking great
deal more Of this than Of any political or party
manGuvres. Has 1t ever occurred to the wise
men at Washington, wonder, that the true point
In the Indian problem Is the bunaloy In his
present condition the Indian OF tue Plains
Is simply parasite living on the buffalo Destroy
the bunao and the Indian must either perish or
accept life on the reservation system and 90 to
planting corn. II he pertshes, so much the better
II he plants corn ne becomes gram eating ana
therefore q tractable and controllabe animal.


At the notion OF destroying the buffalo people
with pet preudices will, OF course, cry out, Hor-
rori Have we not even had proposition that
Congress should legislate for his protection But
that Is sentiment. He he Is OF no practical value
For any value that he may be IN The future he ts
far Inferior to the common domesticated cattle
which will take his place wnen wanted, and in the
expenses or our Indian wars.


All OF which AuppoSes that our Indian authorities
done with the indians-as to which there may be-
doubts


GENERAL GRANT


iIy and seeing lew persons but his Intimate friends
Mr.. Cornell. who was here some days since, has
gone home in consequence Of . domestic affilc-
tion-the death OF child.


TWO ACCIDENTS


have occurred within Q few days from the fault OF
tipsy omnibus drivers. In one OF these Mrs. H0ey
suffered severe, but fortunately not dangerous, In
point where 1t passes through the woods, and
under some trees with low branches. 1t was driven
completely torn away, and between the fragments
of TINS and the branches OF the trees the lady and
some members OF her family received very painful
bruises


As yet there Is abundance OF room at the
Branch, though the first night arrived at this

that discharges the water from the bathtub. That
