The relations of the Buresu to the soveral rohiglous gocioties, it accordance with whose uowinations its agents buvw been appointed, buvo been harmouious, und, it i8 believed, mutually helpful. Tho roport recommends that the pay of the Indian ageuts ought to be at least $2,000 a your, 1ustead of 1,600, Additiona] legislation on behalf of the Indians wan deomed necessary, from the fact that the ouly statutes under which Indians aro managed aud controtlod are anbstauiially those enacted in 1334, known a8 the Trade and Totercoursa laws, whose main purpose was to regulate traftic in furs and provent the sule of ammunition aud intogivating drinks aud intrusion upon an Indian reservation, Tins meagro legislation was in accord with the theory then pre- valing, that tho Indisa tribew wore related to the American Goverument only as sovereignties, who naturally would provide their own Iaws, and that the red wen, bewng 8 people essentially wild aud untamable, needed only to Le kept a8 remotely a8 possible from all settlements, to be agsiuted as hunters, to be forcibly precluded from an uuduo supply of gunpowder and rum, and to be made as peacoablo as possible by the presence of an agont and tho distribution of o few auunities in caah aud blankets.

The Biaxter fac- tion suwtaing tho Garland Goveroment, while the DBrooks men sustain Lieut. Gov.

Bmith, he says, is no more » Governor than Baxtor wug, avd be thinks the xutbority of the Iatter was OBTAINED BY FEAUD, Smith is a firebrand, and for Lis sake and the sake ot tho Bwte it is.a pood thing L bas fted. His clains to the Governorship are worthless, aud thote id littlo likolihood of their buing made to appesr of auy value to the Presi- out.

A parallel caso to this Mr, Poland finds in TILE OELENRATED DORR REDELLION 1n Rhiode laland a quaiter of & century ugo. The bopes agod smbition of Smith rest upon the ille- gality of thiy Coustitution. Buxtor, with, Liout.- Gov.

Tho Judgo also said thnt Lhe teuhumu{l beforo s Counnitteo was sbout coneluded, but tho peaple secwed to have s greater feeling of secwrity with suok a body in thoir midst, and asked earnostly for its stten- tion, Ho therefore appointed tho Hon.
