He ips by saying that the Ute trouble is the only event of note since his last annual report. He then goes on to speak of the fact that the agencies for many of our worst dis posed and flercest Indian tribes are situated at such remote distances from military posts that when danger arises the agent is necessarily constituted not aione the judge of the danger to be apprehended, but of tbe means necessary to be taken for its suppression. Such was the condition of affairs at the Ute agency under Mr. Meeker. THE MURDER OF THORNEURGH. I understand trom the public prints that the commission treating with the Utes for the ces- ston of their reservation only demand the sur- render of the Indians concerned in the murder of Agent Meeker and his employes, and decided ‘that It would make po demand for the surrender of those implicated in the assault upon Major ‘Thornburgh and his command. This discrimi- nation I cannot but regard as unjust and un- wise. The Indians who murdered Sa Meeker and his employes murdered Major Thoraburgh andthe men who fell with him. The t bedience request, serve order and restrain turbulency. He wa3 not there to make war upon the Utes and they knew it. It was nothing more or lees than murder. Cer- tainly it was as much murder as the killing of Mr. Meeker and those employed under him. ‘To treat it as anything else is equivalent to assert ing that an Indian commits a crime only when he kills the agent who Invokes assistance, but not when he waylays and destroys the men who move to render the assistance asked for. I would respectfully recommend that Congress be requested to pass an act conferring brevets —— officers conspicuous for gallantry in In- dian wars. Of all wars in wi our troops have been engaged these are, as I have before had occasion to remark. the most dangerous, the most thankless and the most trying.

General F. Drum, adjutant general of the has completed his two annual reports is to the Secretary of War aud the other to Gener: In his report to the Secre- | 27%. Geveral Drum refers to his recent efforis 'o be of service to the state forces and says: “MY earnest wish ts to still more assimtlate the | rules and forms governing both | THE RFGULAR ARWY AND THE MmaTTA. | It beeds no jal angw ent fo demonstrate the manifold advantages that would necessarily flow from perfect uniformity.

Under this pian, in actual need. one hundred thousand meu, so ) oMicered, could be added to the recular army without jarring or confu-fon, and, at ihe outset, would have the advantage of being ‘well to , band,” the great desideratam of an army in active service. The responses of the states adjutant generals are cordial and express much Satisfaction at the step takeo. In furtherance | of the views expressed above, I earnestly recom- mend that, on the appilcation of tbe aqjutant general cf a state, 1 be authorized to tasue, in moderate quantities, such blanks and forms as | may be Indicated by him as destrabie for the | | | Nlonal guards; Major Richard Arnold, 5th artil Use Of the state trvops, especially during the summer encampment. pie © During thg past summer the following om- cers have been detatied, at the request ef the state authorities, to inspect, and report upon the several encampments named: Jteat.

DeRussy, 84 artillery—encamp- ment of three brigades of Pennsylvanta Na- lery—etcampment of Massachusetts National of Pennsylvania Na- tional guards; Capt. J. P.

IN REGAKD 10 DETAILING OFFICERS Of the army as professors of military sciences and Lactics at colleges General Drum does not think the importance of this early and partial intrcduction of the youth of the country to milttary studies and habits can be overestima- ted. The course of instruction does not inv@- fere With the scholastic curriculam. nor pre- vent them from entering any of tae several walks of civil life for which they are preparing themselves. It, however, leads them to altil- fate, in after Ife, with the militia of thetr re- spective siates, and, enhancing their value as members of ‘such organizations, Increases measurably the capacity af the states national guards to furnish trained officers to Ube country In its hour of need. OF LEAVENWORTH MILITARY PRISON, which fs now in Its sixth year, General Dram Says lis affairs have Ucen capably ad:niulstered. Great progress has been made. “The prison has become a permanent feature of the military establiebment. Up to the close of the fiseal year 1,815 prisoners have been received and confinéd under sentences imposed by general vourtsmarusl. No deaths have occurrad | during the fiscal year, and but 151n all since the prison was established.

Dram says that out of a nouitnal strength of 25,000 men, 6,129 (very nearly one- fourth) are. under the provisions ‘of the law of August 4, i54, drawing locreased pay for each years of continuous servie. ‘Sections 3 id 4 Of tbe act of June 18, 1878, provide for the promotion to the grade of 2d lieutenant of meri- tortous pDon-commissioned officers, and pre- scribe regulations to insure selection of proper candidates. The beneficial effects of this wise legislation are best demonstrated by the state- ment that under this actthere have been pro- moted (appointed) 1 In 178, 5 in 1879, 13 In Ts30, and 1 yet to be appointed, October 4, making a total of 20 promotions. ‘Tuls powerful spur to the ambition of young men entering the ranks will tend to still further elevate the “morale” of the army. CONFLICTS WITH INDIANS. The reports of the ever-recurring contlicts With bositle Indians exhibit galiagl acts and soldierjike endurance of hardsnips.highly creditable to the troops. It ts sugrested-whe- ther the fortitude, endurance, and courag®\ evinced does not, in specially distingutsuea in- stances, deserve Some recognition at the hauds of the government. That the harassing ser- vices of the troops indicate an actual state of, at least, demi-war, is fully shown by the fol- lowing statement of the number of oficers and men killed, or who died of wounds received ta | actions with Indians: 1576—16 officers and 272 7 Micers: men, 15) 7 officers and i2i men, 1578—2 01 and 8 men. 1s79—2 officers and 32 mi aking a total, for the four years, of 27 officers and 33% men, CRRTIPICATES OF MERIT. Section 1216, Revised Statutes, provides that when any private soldier shall have distin- guished himself in the service, the President may grant him a certificate of merit, on the recommendation of the colonel of his regiment. | To bring non-commissioned officers, as well as | privates, within the purview of the above- quoted section, it is suggested that it be amended by substituting for “private soldier” | the words “enlisted man.

The bill for re- storation is referred vo the committee on mill- affairs, and by it, in many cases, placed In the hands of a sub-committee, before whom the claimant appears elt nally or by attor- ney. The pressure of other duties not unfre- quebuy prevents the sub-committee from giv- ing the voluminous papers called for from the files of the War department that carefu! and searching scrutiny such acase demands, ha) ing in view the baneful tufluence on the army Of the restoration to iis roils of @ man untit to hold a commission, As a check on such claims, It Is suggested that applicants for restoration be required, by statutory enactment, to present thelr claims to a board of officers to be appointed by the President, whenever, in bis opinion, the applicant has ap equitable claim toa further hearing. SUGGESTIONS, There has been great improvemeat tn rift shooting, which proves Incontestabiy the ad- vantage of the army paruclpating in contests. IUis earnestly recommended that the govern- ment offer inilitary prizes and rewards to the successtul competitors in the various matches in which officers and ren of the army sp in the class of men applying for enlistment in the past few years, and there Is every reason to believe the opportunity offered by the act of June 1s, 1878, to advance the more soldierly and army. It 1s believed the recent orders, that future crulting service will only be made by one-halr the regiments in each year, will relieve the ser- vice of a se1ious embarrassment and be produc- Uve of good results.
