A Missionary of Peace Changed Into an Apostle of War. FACTS FOR S@FT-HEADED PHILANTHROPISTS WasarncTon, Dec, 18, 1872, ‘Yo THE Eprror or THE HeRaLD:— am what estimation would a class of men be held ‘who, in thts era of advanced civilization and re- ‘Spect for law and order, should not only give sanc- tion to, but incite by argument and even by rewards, a band of treebooters who, without the ‘slightest provocation or excuse, were continually ‘making raids upon peaceable citizens, robbing themof their property, putting them to death or carrying ‘them away into captivity? Would those who countenance such practices by har- boring or assisting the perpetrators, knowing their criminality, be regarded as altogether ex- empt from culpability? Would they not, on the contrary, be looked upon with the eye of the law as particeps crimints ? The appropriate answers to these questions are too manifest to require record. The universal reproba- tion of the acts of the outlawed Lowery banditti in North Carolina and the magnitude of the rewards offered fer their apprehension afford conclusive evidence upon this subject. Nevertheless, as mys- terious and inexplicable as it may appear, we find certain men in the Eastern States, complacently styling themselves philauthropists and even Chris- tians, who for years past have been and at this very-‘moment are giving all the ald and encourage- ment in their power to the perpetration of deeds pf amore heinous character than those above men- tioned, and these men are not only suffered to go anpunished, but are applauded by many. Iam charitable enough to believe, however, that they are unconscious of the evils resulting from such action, and possibly they may lay to their souls the consoling unction that they are conferring benefits upon their fellow men and do- Ing God a service. However this may be, I assure such persons that they are most egregiously deluded in regard to the tendency of the fallacious policy which they adhere to and ad- vocate with such blind and inflexible pertinacity. Tallude to those SELF-COMPLACENT- THEORISTS q@ho, seemingly in absolute ignorance of facts as they actually exist, continue with a zeal worthy of abetter cause to argue in favor of an everlasting tolerance towards biood-thirsty savages, incapable pi comprehending or appreciating kind treatment, Fegarding it as an evidence of cowardice and fear, ‘and who repel with scorn all efforts to educate or improve their condition. I make the assertion without fear of corfutation that several tribes of Indians now being fed clothed and fostered through the persistent in! Muenees of the champions of the peace project, and Who have received no injustice from the govern- Ment, have never ceased robbing, torturing, burn- ang, murdering, scalping and otherwise outraging our frontier settlers. Should any one question the correctness of this declaration numerous instances affording the most ample proof upon the subject might be adduced, but I feel confident that the following pertinent facts, derived from personal knowledge and ob- servation, will suffice to convince any one who does not totally disregard the dictates of reason. It 1s patent to all who hive studied the history of the aboriginal tribes upon our domain that THE KIOWAS AND COMANCHES, from their first discovery by the Spaniards in 1542 have been wanderers upon the great plains of the West, having no permanent abiding places, and that for the last half century they have continued to make forays upon the inhabitants of Mexico and Texas, for which they have rarely been chastised, And as these aggressions were for along time tolerated it is quite likely the Indians really im- agined there was no particular harm in them. “As an evidence of this J, twenty-three years ago, en- countered upon the Plains 2,500 Comanches under a chief called Issakeep, with whom I had along interview, during which I took occasion to say to him that.our government, by the Treaty of Guada- lupe Hidalgo, had piedged itself to putastop to farther inroads by our Indians upon the Mexicans, and, in accordance therewith, I was instructed by the President to inform the Comanches that they ‘would no longer be permitted to make raids in Mexico, and would be required to surrender all Captives in their possession, assuring him, at the same time, that if these injunctions were complied with in good faith the President would be so much Pleased that he would reward them handsomely. To which the chief replicd that my remarks for the most part were very satisfactory to him, par- ticularly that part which related to the intentions of “Big White Chier in sending him “a heap" of presents, ut,” continued he, “there are two requirements of the ‘Great Captain at Washington’ which make me feel very sad. One is the prohibi- tion against taking scalps and stealing horses from Mexicans, and the other is the rendition of Our prisoners. Many of our squaws are getting | oid,” he said, “and must have Mexican and white Women to assist them in chopping and packing ‘Wood and herding horses; besides,’ concluded the Delaware interpreter, who had never overtasked his brain in mastering the grammatical abstrac: tions of Lindley Murray, “he say captain may be 80, he sqaaw; when he git mad he want some ‘white squaw for whip hisself.” Since Texas became incorporated into the Union | these Indians have repeatedly been ordered to Cease their depredations upon the people of that State, but thus far they have disregarded the mandate and their outrages nave continued, “Those DEMONIACAL MONSTERS, AMesigned and moulded in the image of the Creator, bat imbued to repiction with the instincts of the -@evil, have kept Weir hands raised against the White man and prosecuted a truculent warfare ‘with an unrelentisg and merciless barbarity too Fevoiting apd inhuman to bear description. inorder te bring these lawless marauders more ‘™nder the control of our authorities a reservation, embraciug a large extent of country in the vicinity ©! the Wasufte Mountsina, @ must beautiful and Productive section, was selected for them in 1863, and with tveir ful concurrence they were placed “pon it, with the distinct understanding that they ‘Were hot, Without permission, te go outside the designated limits of the safhe, under penalty of being regarded as enemies onthe warpath aud treated accordingly, They Were also informed that so long as they re- Mained peaceable their children would he educated, they would be furnished wity farms, cattle, farm- ing implements, Ac., and would be instructed in- agriculture, besides being fed ana clothed until they were enabled to produce their own crops and thus become self-sustaining, ali of which benedts AWere to be conferred upon them gratuite asly, the @ le condition imposed upon them veing the not vo Ty unreasonable one of staying at home and at- ten ding to their own affairs. Th ¢ foregoing stipulations were agreed to by the Indiau'S previous to their occupation of the reser. vation, ®0d from that time to the present the goy- ernment has faithiully carried out its part of the compact. And now'set us inquire wheth has acted in ually good fait HOW PIE FAITHLESS LO ACTED. Immediate afte! tie udians took posreesion er the oLper party NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JANUARY 2, 1873—WITH SUPPLEMENT: of their reservation @ most benevolent and excel- ent man, by the name of Tatum, @ member of the Society of Friends and an ardent advocate-of the Peace Yaovement, who, doubtiess, had the true interests of the natives at heart, was appointed @n@, installed as their agent, and under his up- Trght administration a capactous schoolhouse was ‘erected, teachers employed, and the Indiana urgently invited to send in their children for edu- cation, but up to June, 1871, only one pupil from the Comanche and Kiowa tribes had made his ap- pearance, and he was escorted by hi: father; mot er, rother, sisters, uncles, aunts and otuer relatives of of more remote consanguinity, all of whom en- camped upon tie premises, and by peeping tarough the doors and windows of the school house maintained a vigilant espionage upon all the movements of the tea¢bers and pupils during the brief period of his sojourn, which amounted to one day and a half, at the expiration of which his kinsiolk eith egarded him as in peril from the mysterious ntations of the “Big Medicine Man”? (the teacher), or possibly they considered his education ‘completed, If the latter was their eonclusion, he was the first and only one of their children who graduated at that institution, as ehey carried him away immediately aiterwards and sent no more pupils to the sciool. Rations were regulariy issued to these people, crops were Cultivated by the farmers (the Indians would not work theinseives), and it might reason- ably have been supposed that they would gladly have remained peaceable; but instead of this they irom the first occupancy of the reservation have continually been marauding upon the Texas border, and the evidences of their flendish bar- barities can easily be traced by the graves of their slaughtered victims and the chimneys of their burned tenements, still standing as monuments of Indian ravages in the desolated country along the head waters of the ‘Trinity, Brazas and Colorado, CAPERS OF THE COMANCHES AND KIOWAS. I frequently visited this beautiful and fertile sec- tion from 1849 to 1802, when at that early period it had already attracted a considerabie farming popu- lation, whe were not then oiten molested by In- dians; but when I again traversed this same region in 1871, with General Sherman, to my astonishment I found the entire border had been devastated, and mainly. by the Comanch:s and Kiowas from the Witchita Mountain reserve. Indeed, there was hardly a day during our journey through the settlements of Western and Northern Texas that we did not hear of or see persons who had recently been killed or robbed by Indians near our track, and one day we encountered two parties whose horses had been stampeded and driven away by Indians beiore their eyes that very morning; but the appreien- sion of their returning in greater force to massacre their families aud burn their houses in the event of their firing upen them, prevented their offering any resistance. Upon another occasion a train of twelve wagons, ladeh with grain for the govern- ment, while en route te Fort Griffin, upon the Bra- 203, was suddenly surrounded and fired upon by one hundred mounted Kiowas, who, after a stub- born deience on the part of the drivers, succeeded in killing, sca. ning and burning seven of the twelve, aiter which they drove away all the mules they did notkill. Now it so happened that our party passed ‘THE SCENE OF THE CONFLICT the evening previous, and as soon as General Sher- man received intermation of the tacts at Fort Rich- ardson, he at once despatched a cavairy iorce in pursuit ef che murderers, expecting their trail might iead to the reservation near Fort Sill, where he proposed awaiting tidings trom the pursuing detachment, Accordingly the General soon afterwards pro- ceeded on to Fort Sill, and after four days’ delay a party of Kiowas and Comanches came in to the agency near by, to draw their rations, when, greatly to the astonishment of their agent, the principal chief, Satanta, not only acknowedget that he led the party which perpetrated the vut- rage upon the teamsiers, but had the audacity to boast of having thereby periormed a most merito- rious and gallant deed, adding that possibly some otier chief! might ussnme the credit of the per- formance; but, said he, Hepotng his breast, “you must not believe them, for I am the big captain that did it.” ‘These facts the agent immediately communi- cated to General Sherman, who forthwith re- spent him to bring the Indians to the fort for a talk. On their arrival the General met them upon the verandah of the commanding oificer’s quarters, and alter the usual preliminary of SHAKING HANDS ALL AROUND, Satanta, who did not at first seem to understand who tae General was, inquired of him if he was “Wach-i-tou ?” the purport of which L took to be that he desired to know ii the General came from Washington, and upon being informed that such Was the .act, and seeing several Oilicers of the Gen- eral’s stat! around, he asked how many ‘Wach-i- tou’s” w re present, and when his curiosity had been satistied he sat down, ‘rhe General then, in a very atern and peremptory tone of voice, asked him if he commanded the party that killed the teamsters a few days r in Texas, He unhesitatingly acknowledged t! did, and ina manner indicating that he consid- ered it a most Valiant achievement. The General then asked him if he regarded it as a chivalrous or praiseworthy exploit for 100 warriors to waylay and put to death a dozen inoffensive mule drivers who had never harmed them and who made no pretensions to being considered soldiers. That in his opinion such an act was base and cowardly. “If you want war,” concluded the Gen- eral, “you can have it, providea you will come out like men and attack our soldiers, who will be ready to figut you any time you desire.” Finding that the General's estimate upon the merits of the perlormance was not iu exact accord with his own, the arrogant expression 0: his ceun- tenance relaxed perceptibly, and he remarked, that although he was present when the engage- ment took piace, yet he did not originate the ex- pedition. His young men, he said, were desirous oi having A LITTLE AMUSEMENT by taking afew white scalps, and he, to oblige them, reluctantiy consented to accompany tiem, but for the sole purpose 0: teaching them how to Nygut, not that he cared Peet | about killing anybody himself, and he disciatmed the nonor of having tired a single shot froim the inception to the denouement of the interesting litue drama, He admitted, however, that he blew his bugle occa- sionally (Which was then slung by his side), and gave a few timely commands to the boys, He added, “Your people, within the past three years, have killed (enumerating upon his finger:) seven Kiowas during our raids in Texas and elsewhere,”’ ‘Then, placing his forefingers evenly together to denote equality, he concluded, “The amount is thus exactly square, and now we'll wipe out old scores and begin anew.” Then, with a supremely seli-satisiied air, evidently believing that the logic of his reasoning was irre‘utable and conclusive, he satdown and resumed his pipe. Mis argu- Tents did not, however, seem of 80 convincing a character to the General, who diifered with him materially in his estimate of the credits, and in- formed hin that instead oj the account havin) ben cancelled in the manner indicated he was of 0; iu on that there was stil a considerable balance remain- ing unsettled on our side of the account, which could only be liquidated by piacing him and tbe other two chiefs who participated In the murders in irons, and sending tuem to Texas for trial by the civil Courts. ‘This MOST UNEXPECTED ANNOUNCEMENT struck the haughty chief with astonish:nent, caus- ing him to eject several very erage depre catory grunts and to quail perceptibly, He dis- covered from the inflexibility of the General's manner and the tmperturbable expression of his conntenance that he would not be humbugged or iutigidated, and he despondingly remarked “It you are going to send me to Texas tor trial shoot me now. | would rather die here than go to ‘lexas, where my doom would inevitably be sealed.” And J must admit that, knowing something o/ the sen- timents entertained by Texans towards those In- diuns, | was very nearly in accord with Satanta as to what would be his iate in the hands of tiose people. During th progress oO1 the council a friend a | Bird,” a tall, erect looking Indian, who was not in the fo.ay, arose and said to the General, “You have seen me betore bad I met you at Fort Dodge, upon the Arkansas River, in 1867, and you must be aware from what you have seen yourself ud heard irom others that Ihave always been a iend to the white man, observing in good taith all our treaty stipulations, and that i have invariably used iny best enveavors to prevent our young men irom marauding upon the Texans, but uniortu- | nately it has not always been in my power to con- trol them, Now, a8 am equivaleut jor the good I have done your people, | entreat you to overlook THE OFFENCES OF SATANTA and my other friends who have become involved in his didiculty, and the mules that were captured shall ali be returned,’ General Sherman replied to this touching appeal most appropriately and kindly, assuring Kicking Bird that he believed him to be a good Indian and honest in his statements, and that he apprectated to the tallest extent his good intentions and acts towards the whites. Nevertheless the course he proposed taking was tmperative upon him, and bothing More than what would be done with white men under simila’ circumstances, The Jaw re- qajred it, and the Indians must be sent to the —— where their offences were committed for trum! There were at this stage of the proceedings about a dozen Indians and probably as many oficers upon the verandah, the former woking anything but pleased, and all, with two exceptions, having carbines, revolvers or bows aud arrows by their sides, and in tront of the verandah some twenty soldiers, With cocked carbines in their hands, ready to re at an instant’s command, were drawn up ib dine, Wheu suddenly A TALL, ATHLETIC INDIAN rode into the fort, dismounted near us, and, after laying upon the ground two Spencer carbines, wiih a bow ard quiver of arrows, tied his horse, then, drepping his olanket to tue waist and fastening it, 80 as to fesve his arms and the upper part of his body naked and free, he picked up bis weapons, and, with hemi erect, d Law’ f strode up to the verandah, gave one carbine and his bow and arrows to hie unarmed brethren, and, seating himselt, deliberately cocked his remaining carbine, at the Same time casting an insovent glance around, as mach as 4a say, “I Want it to be distinctly under. Stood that if there is to be any fighting here | pro- pose taking part in it.” He may have been sent jor by Satanta, At @il events, he seemed to have 4 full apprectation of the gravity of the ugpending crisis, aud bis action upon the occasion must be i a (G8 & most signe! instance oj reckless au- dacity, As svon as the fellow was geen approaching. the re- interpreter “Jones,” who knew him well - marked, “There’ll bé trouble now, for that’ Wolf, THE MOST DESPERATE SAVAGE upon the Plains,” and he seemed so forcibly im- ressed with the evil propensities of this Indian that e became quite *agitated as he came up, and at the instant he cocked bis gun the skirt of the in- terpreter’s coat was observed rapidly v: hing through the nearest window into the house. The excitement at this particular juncture was considerably intensified among the Indians hy & rifle-shot, which proved to have been fired by @ sentiuel at a mounted Kiowa, who, in attempting to charge past the guard, had been ordered to halt, but instead of Seve. had shot the sentinel in the leg with an arrow, then pushed on to make his escape. Fortunately, however, the responding shot which we heard despatched a leaden messen- ger in pursuit, which promptly executed its mis- sion of retributive justice, and most effectually ter- ménated his ability to perpetrate further mischief. That was the last arrow this warrior drew from his quiver previous to entering upon that dark and mysterious t:ail which debouches into the bliss- ful prairies of the “Spirit Land’—those elysian hunting, pilaaing ond scalping grounds of the great aboriginal Manitou, Finding that they were unable to induce General Sherman to alter or modify his decision, the In- dians at length subsided a little, and, with @ bad grace, succumbed to the necessities of the occasion, Even that bellicose individual with the pisny Appropriate and characteristic canine designation of Lone Wolf, condescended to abate somewhat from his former haughty de- meanor. AS unaccountable as it may appear, this same savage iscreant, who has the blood of many whites upon his head, has recently been persuaded to make i A PLEASURE EXCURSION TO WASHINGTON, New York and other Eastern cities, where he has been 1éted, driven around the parks, taken tu thea- tres and shown other marks of distinguished con- sideration by the votaries of the condoning policy. Thave not a doubt that some of the advocates ior lenient measures towards the Indians are truly sincere in their sentiments, believing them to have been badly dealt with, and it must be admitted that tis has too often been the case with many of the tribes, ‘The large fortunes amassed in brief periods by their agents, upon salaries of $1,500, strikingly evince this. But this fact does not justity the prairie In- dians, who have been well treated, in robbing and murdering every white man they encounter. No one who knows Culone| Campbell, Mr. Brunot and the other gentiemen who, without compensa- tion, accepted positions upon the Indian Commis- sion, and who for several years past have exerted their utmost endeavors, and with marked success, in thwarting dishonest agents and contractors in their machinations for detrauding the Indians as well as the government, can {or &@ moment ques- tion the purity of their motives or the eMcavy of their gratuitous labors In promoting the wel- fare of the red men. Neither can there be any doubt that many of the men who were induced to accept the appointment of agents have deen ac- tuated by considerations equally commendatory. For example, Friend Tatum, as | understood, was well to do in the world, and could have had no motive for leaving a comfortable home and burying himseif in the remote wilds of the dndian ‘rerritory apon the meagre salary of $1,500 other than that of doing good in the exercise of unal- loyed benevolence; yet when we met him at Fort Sill he did not attempt to advocate a continuation of the lenient policy toward his wards, The first observation he made to General Sher- man was this:—‘I have used every effort in my power to improve the moral and physica! condition of the Kiowas and Comanches; but thus tar my labors have proved fruitless. ‘hey seem to be in- coriigible, aud will continue to pillage and murder our citizens, and should the peopie of Texas, who may hereaiter sutfer from their depredations, choose to pursue them into the reservation | am resoived to take no steps to prevent them, The INDIANS DESERVE CHASTISEMENT for their atrocities, and I shall no longer deprecate or shield them from it.’? This sensible conclusion arrived at by an eml- nently humane and k nd-hearted Christian, whose opportunities for studying the character of his In- dians had been ample, and who earnestly desired to impart to them the benetits of education, as well a8 moral and religious instruction, is apposite and well worthy tlie careful consideration of the peace policy advocates, Anotuer significant fact iliustrative of the ro- sults of the civilizing process js, that tor a long time previous to General Sherman's visit at Fort sill it was hazardous ‘or a white man to go alone in any direction ten miles from the post, several men hav- ing been killed by the reservation savages within that distance during the previous three years. Neither the oitficers nor soldiers ever thought of venturing among those Indians at a distance trom their stations without an escort. It is only a short time since, as I was informed, that Agent fatum held a council with the prairie Indians at a point distant from his agency, when, on account of his inavility to accede to their un- reasonable demands, they threatened to put him to death, and to irustrate the execution of their nefarious purposes he was OBLIGED TO MAKE A SPEEDY ESCAPE to the protection of the garrison at Fort Sill, ‘These are not the only Indians who, without Provocation, have perpetrated wanton outrages upon our citizens, The Apacnes, in Arizona, what- ever may be said of the treatment they have sub- sequently received at the hands of exasperated white men who have suffered from their depreda- tions, took the initiative at an early date in making war upon our peopie and have prosecuted it relent- lessly ever since. The causeless attacks made upon the escorts of Captain Sitgraves and other ex- plore:s and upon emigrating parties show this, Ii these Indians had been robbed of their lands, enslaved or otherwise maltreated, as were the New England tribes by the venerated Pilgrim progeni- tors of the peace policy supporte.s, there might have been some paliation tor their conduct; but they cau plead no such excuse. And 1 may be par- aoned for adding m this connection thai distance has certamly atforded to the descendants of the Puritan Fathers @ much more favorabie and en- chanting view of the remote natives of the Plains than their sires were able to disce:n when in close proximity to the race. The prairie indians in some respects appear to be entirely different in disposition and habits from their brethren who occupied tie Kastern State: whose composition, we are informed, possessed some praiseworthy elements. Gratitude, for ex- ample, was a prominent trait in their character, but THE NATIVES OF THE PLAINS, 8o far as I have been able to discover, have not the Temotest coucepton of that sentiment, nor do they seem capabie of comprehending the motive that gives inspiration to un act of benevolence or charity, but invariably ascribe it to fear or the ex- p.ctation of reward; for they never make presents or confer favors save with the anticipation ot re- celving more than their eq@val¢nt in return. Be- sides the Eastern tribes were localized, occupying permanent abodes, where they and their ah- cestors trom time immemorial had tilled the soil, which, ander the rulings of juris, rudence, may justly have entitled them to an absolute fee simpie of the lands they claimed, whereas the prairie tribes have never followed any of the avocations of civilization, Agriculture has been unknown to them, They never even plinted a seed, but like their canive! ous coadjutors, the wolves, they from time Immemorial have slept on the trails and sub- sisted U, on the tlesh o1 the buitaloes, and their per- ceptions of right, equity and othe: moral attributes may be coasidered as th close approximation with those of their canine caiup jollowers, and the lat- ter, in my judgment, possess concurrent claims with the savages to a valid ure of the country over which they conjointly roam, From what has been said it may be conjectured that I am tartniess in regard to the feasibility of civilizing the aborigines; but such an inference is erroneous, for my own observations during a resi- dence of several years among the Choctaws, Chickasaws and Cherokees compel me to admit that many of them already occupy a more elevated position dpon tue scale 0: social cuiture, education and refinement, and entertain a hither respect for law than. their contiguous pale-.a ed neighbors in Texas and Arkansas. The .act siouid be borne in mind, however, tuat these people are of a diferent type from THE WILD NOMADS OF having alway: their natures He PRAIRIES, been more local and tractable in hd correspondingly easier brought under tue meliorating influences Of social and moral t ings. The exceedingly perplexing imbroglio as to the best way o! c.vilizing the prairie tribes has already engaged the attent.on of our authorities for several yeurs, but thus tur the resuits have not always ly disappeared from their ancient hunting grounds, the budaloes no longer atfordi them adequate sustenauce, the time is at han When these Indians must either be taught to culti- vate the soll, be perpetually fed, depredate upon the whites or starve, aud as there are but few people in this desenerate age who will quietly sub- init to the tortures of hunger when tuey can be alleviated by stealing food trom their neighbors, it is hardly within the scope of probability that the Indians will reirain trom so doing, and this would involve recriginations and wars which would in- evitably cul ate in the ultimate annihilation of the race, The most practicable and humane solation of the question that occurs to my mind is through the agency oi the very policy that the government has been endeavoring to carry out; but to render this policy etfectual one material modification seems to me indispensavle, ‘the Indians under- stand pertectly that they violate orders and com- mit an offence Whenever they go outside the limits of their reserves without permission, They com- prehend equally well the turpitude of the crime of imuardering our citizens, although they have gene- rally escaped punistunent for so doing. The change which in my judgment would give the existing system more efficacy is to hold the tribal authorities directly responsible ior the acts Oo! thelr people, and whenever violations of law or order occur among them require tue chiels to de- liver up the onenders for summary and certain trial and punishment, and when this requirement js not promptiy weceded to, to proceed with an adequate force to chastise the tribe or band, until they humbly crave torgiveness for thele past offences and give satisfactory guarantees for futare good behavior, Thus will tuey be made to feel and respect the power of the government, and soon Towlize the jutility Of resiwting or violating Its mandates. It is unreasonable to expect that a rage of bar- barians Whose antecedents, superstitions and pre- Jadices are all antipodal to the ways ot civilization, Will without @ struggie cast aside the teachings of | their ancestors and at ouce pt our custome; | NOr [sit believed that wwe w «con be induced | to labor in the field, for they look upon this as the occup&aon of women and slaves and degiading to men, The present generation may pass ai before they I eppreclate the benefits of agriculture or education. ‘Their ee INTEROOURSE WITH TES has Weretofore been confined to the traders and in- ternreters, than whom, as ceneral ruie, @ more Wiscrupalous set of men does uot exist. No missionaries have as yet undertaken the rather hazardous experiment of going among their tribes and, by sharing the privations and vicissi- tudes o! their vagrant life, gained their confidence or learned their languages. THE CURE FOR THE DISKASE. In view of these facts it is not likely that the In- dians will for some time to come respect or have confidence in our friendship, and, as I remarked beiore, the only way to make them obey the laws and prevent tne continued recurrence of such abominations ‘as Nave been described ts, whenever they misbehave, to inflict upon them with une mili- tary arm a blow that willbe deeply felt and long remembered, thus sowing them that we are mus- ters of the situation. Such a course may be regarded by some as un- necessarily severe, but in my judgment it will be far more effectual and lasting in its etfects than the purchase of their 4 will with presents and in the end will prove the most humane solution of the problem, as, for the reasons beiore stated, any more conciliatory policy must result in tie total an- nihilation of the tribes as well as greatly retard the advance of the pioueer settlements, 1 am abso- jutely certain that these views will meet tie hearty concurrence of tie inhabitants of the new Territo- ries, of Generals Sherman and Sheridan, as well as the great mass of army + oilicers whose opportunities for studying the Indian character have certainly been more extended than those of Kastern philanthropists, who may, perhaps, respond that army oficers are interested exponents upon this question, the tendencies of their projessional aspirations inciining them to prefer war to peace. 1 ain unable, however, to conceive of any pos- sible motive they could have lor desiring to bring avout an Indian war, which necessurily involves great privations, exposuie and hard work, to say nothing of the hazara of life; and all this, no matter how signal the service rendered, is with- outasingle compensating equivalent, if we ex- cept the commendations of tie military author- ities and the grate ul recognition oi their services by the border citizens, But this would in a measure be counteracted by the certainty oi the preponderating censures, if not the vituperative Maledictions of the commiserating sympathizers ol the “poor, Let antbees red man,’” However willing the omicers oi the army may be to participate in cainpaigns vgainst civilized ene- mies, whevein distinguis ed services atlord a rea- sonable guarantee for advancement or otiver re- quital, yet, I ‘ancy, but iew desire to engage in thanaiéss Indian Wars, where they have every- thing to risk and nothing to gain, Instead of tiis, the army, as well as the author- ities at Washington, are fully as anxious as the stanciest champions of tie peace movement to have friendly relations maintained with the prairie tribes, and this his been conclusively shown by the readiness with which a trial of the experiment advocated by these people was con- sented to and carried out. R. BM. ORIME IN YORKVILLE, Horse Thieves and Other Criminals Brought Up in the Police Court. OMicer O'Connell, of the Court squad, arraigned & young man named Robert Goff, who is said to be an old otfender in horse stealing, for whieh he has spent aterm in the State Prison. It was alleged that he obtained a horse worth $400 from Mr. James Scott, of 928 Third avenue, which he sold and converted the proceeds to his own account. He represented to Mr. Scott, who had the horse ior sale, that he had a customer, and, believing this to be true, that :entleman allowed the accused to take the horse to the stable in Kast Twenty-fourth street, to be shown to the intended purchaser, but not sold, Goff was held tor exainination, when he claims he can ovtain his discharge on technical grounds, James McKenna, James Gilmore and his brother John, all under the age ol eiguteen years, were also charged with horse stealing. They breke into a stable at 625 Hudson street, it was alleged, and stole a horse thereirom, valued at $20), the prop- erty of Mr. William Kemps. of 628 Hadson street. Omicer Austiu, of the Nineteentu precinct, caught them in the act of endeavoring to sell the horse for $15 in the horse market. They were committed in default 01 bail for trial. kdward Mullaney was committed for having in his possession a fur robe, vaiued at $15, which it is believed he stole trom Mr. Benjamin Weiss, of 112 East Seventy-thiid street. Michael Purcell was sent to keep him company, for pt-aling six pails from Richard Whitton, 768 Second avenue. PURITANISM REVIVED, The Stadt Theatre Ciosed Last Evening by the Police. Last evening the audience assembled in the Stadt Theatre in the Bowery as usual, but just be- fore the arrival of the hour for the beginning of the performance Captain Ward, of the Tenth precinct, went to the manager and informed him that he would not be allowed to go on with the entertain- ment, as it was in direct violation of law. In conse- quence of this announcement the money was paid back to the people, who quietly departed, ARREST OF BROOKLYN LIQUOR DEALERS.
