Commissfoner Avars preslded, aud there were present Holden, Fitzgerald, Tabor, and Schinidt, Attorney Roun- tree, and Treasurer Huck. The Chalrman asked the Treasurer what ho had to say, Mr, Huck replied that he wanted the written opinlon of the Attorney as to the legality of purchasing the bonds at a premium. Mr. Rountree fiad henrd nothing about an opinfon. Mo had heen simply notified that he was to mect with the Committee, COMMISIIONER IIOLDEN. remarked that the Treusurer doubted the pro- pricty of his joining with the Comumittee n ad- vertising for proposals to sell to the county a sufficient number of honds to ahsorb the money now to the credit of the new Sinking Fand, amounting to about £330, on the ground that it would be fmproper for the Board to pay a premium for the bonds. The bonds were draw- ing 7 per cent futerest, and, lu the next fifteen years (the time they Lad to run), taking the general rule of multiplying interest, it would amount to something like $30,000.

Hence he wauted the County Attorney’s oplnion. If jt concurred with his view, and the Committee deeldud to use the Con- tingent Fund, ho thoucht the bonds could be purchased. MIL ROUNTRER remarked that if the Treasurer wanted a written oplnion e would give it. He had thought a great deal about the mutter, und had come to the conclusion that there wus no questlon about the lezality of taking the premium from the Binkiug “Fund. lle Lad no doubt that the power of the Boand over the county finances was absolute.

TITE INDIAN QUESTION, Ta the Editor of The Tribune, CANTONMENT RENO, Wya. Ter., Dec. 3.—One of the most perplexing questions that Lave ever engaged the attentlon of our Government Is the proper management of the Indian tribes within our burders, Thelr rights and wronge, the preservation of their territores, the most judi- clous method of expending thelr annuitles, the dispenzation of justice between them and Jaw- Iess white men dwelling on the frontler, now present, and for o hundred years have presented, a very diffieult political problem, and one which our legislators have most signally failed o aolve. The Indian tribes are 8o far removed from the great communities of the East that thelr treat- nent and the golley of the Governtnent adopted toward thewm attract little attentfon, It fsonly on the occurrence of come striklog tragedy, like the Custer massacre or the extermination of an Indian village, that publlc Intcreat fs ex- cited,—a momentary Interest, which the Intelli- gence of the next day's paper com pletely ¢ffuces from the publle mind, In this day of polltieal reform there Is no de- partnient g0 thorougbly in need of purcing as the Jodien Department. The obuses thereln are flagrant. They bave long existed, and tho results of them are most deplurable to our fronticr settlements, as well as the Indians themselves. Most certafuly there has ever exivted radical misma; agement I the dircetion of our Indian affaire, not attributable to u:l‘y pnrllcuhrfiamlml ar- ty or any special perfod of our history.

The Pilgrim Fatliers aunihilated the Narra- wansetts and the Pequots, As cvillzation moved westerly, the Creekd, Choctawe, Chero- kees, llinols, and kiudred tribes disappeared, until the white mnan’s furins_extended uver the Indian huntine-grounds far west of the Mselselpp River, In the present dny, the {}nu:rv.ia of clvillzation, accelerated by the ulon Pacific Rallroad, bus brought us to the Stoux territory, and In confllct with that &m\vcr!ul tribe. The result of the present Inc fun war al] can foresee, Like the trbes who forinerly occupled the region cast of thelr own, tiey will be broken anit destroyed. This s fu: evitable, and tho soouer the struegle is uver the better fur both themn aud ourselyes, The most diftfeult question Is, What shall we do with them? Blall they be aliowed to roamn over these plalus, with Acencles eatablished here nod there over u territory reachlng fromthe Upper Misaouri to the Platte ' 1 this is the polley pursued, all the effecte of the war will be lost, 'he inoney expended on the late expeditions mizht just as well hove been cast {n the Mis- sourl River. ‘The Sioux whil re-over arma, mn- wmunition, and etrength; hostilitles will be re- neweds murders and depredations agaln be comuitted; and property und iife on the plalus be us insceure a8 ever.
