Howard, thoro is but ono opinion, and that is that tho panco polioy is not a succoss. In convorsation to-day with Becrotary Delano, hosald that ho will ask no morey for tho Mo- docs, a8 thoy have noted in tho most outragoous mannor, and oro no longer ontitled to farther protection undor tho peaco policy.

Commissioier mith—Well, popular foeling is var{‘much against that policy now, on account of tho massacro, and it will bo sot back somo in consequence. Reporter—Will it not rosult inthe abandon- ment of the posed policy altogethier ? The Commussionor—Not at all. As I sald, the | polioy will bo set back until the peoplo undor- stand what it means. The pence policy doos not ‘moan that Indians aro to maraud ns thoy plosso, but that frlendly Indians shall bo governed by it; ~Hostilo Indians_are to be ruled by tho army whon necossary., ‘Tho instructions to Mr. NMoacham will show this [reading from the in- structiona publishod bolow]. Toporter—Gon. Canby was an excollent offi- cer, avd pooplo all over tho country are much excited at his nssassination, “Tho Commissionor—Yes, he was an oxcellont ofticor, and tho Iast man that we could afford’ to spare, hLaving beon solocted for tho position out thero on account of Lis cooluoas, s good Judgmont, bia dosiro ta do justice to tho Indians, and his ontire accord with tho Departmont. .

B ' In conversation to-day Gon, Bhorman was agk- «d if ho did not holiovo the this act of Indian tronchery was unparalleled, upon which he re- pliod in his, quick, nervous way: .“No, sir; .trenchery is inhorent in the Indian character. I know ‘of a caso whore the Indians murdored thko man who. not two hours boforo hed given them food and clothing.” He then statod sevoral instancos of Indian treachery and barbarity of whioch ho bo- camo cognizant whon in tho West. Ho says tho Presidont is doeply affected by thodoath of Gon, Canby, and tully concurs with him. in_bolieving that no mercy whatover should be shown toward the Modocs. He haa perfeot confidonco in Gous. Bchoflold and Gillom, and belioves they will be fully equal to tho task of punishing tho Modoos, @ doos not think the Modocs bo ablo to oscapo, although the topography of-the | Inva-beds ls something of & puzzle to him. Ho has no intention, as has boon stated, of going to the Modoo country to personally superintend oporations, as he doems his presenco there quite unuocessary. Homoe surprise has boon oxpressod that Gon, Canby would allow Capt. Jack to snap his pistol at him without _offering any roslatanco, but it must be remombered that tho publio hias ag %?b but one account of tho massacra, and that by TPoace Commissioner Dyer and the friondly In- dian Riddlo, both of whom were probably so much astonnded and frightenod st tho suddon onslaught that they did not stay long enough to learn all tho particulars.
