6 THE INDIANS. _ An Interesting Interview with General Sheridan. The Evils and Advantages of the Reservation System. THD GOVERNMENT POLICY. Paternal Management Useless with the Tribes. Police Discipline with Military Control Absolutely Necessary. CHIcaGo, August 11, 1874. Fhat in time of profound peace, alter a great war which bi haken the country to its foun- dations, & military department should be im as great @ state of activity as if it were directing the movements of an army in the fleld, and that in the quiet city of Chicago, will no doubt be regarded witu surprise. Nevertheless such is the case, and itisno exaggeration of your correspondent but the acknowlecgment of Major General Phil Shert- dan, he of Shenandoah fame. What excites these headquarters, with such war-tried vete! sheridan, Forsyth, Drum and Rucker? The trath | 18, the war whoop has been heard and the Indi: has put on his paint to take the warpath. Your correspondent called on Gonergl Sheridan yes- terday to learn all about the Indian war. He reminded General Sheridan that he was re- garded on all hands as an authority on the subject of Indian affairs and the approaching Indian war, and that the country was anxious to hear him on | the diztorted subject through the columns o/ the Sew York HERALD, The General declined at | first to be interviewed, and ‘ought as shy of it as a cey maiden of nineteen would at a Matrimonial proposition she had made up her mind not to accept. Finally General Sheridan, be- leving he might do something toward the final adjustment of this annoying question, acceded to your correspondent’s importunity, and the follow- ing is the result of the interview :— CORRESPONDENT--What do you think, General, of ‘he present Indian status? General SHERIDAN—1 thimk that there is not as Much in the Indian question @s people generally suppose there is. The presept reservation system of the government is the only system by which we can save the Indian, and even by that we can probabiy only save the remnant of each tribe. Yhe trouble the government has had so far under that system comes from want of proper manage- ment. The government has attempted to manage ‘@ Wild race of people in @ parental way, while at the same time It bas to manage ifs educated and most intelligent pupulation by the moat stringent and exacting laws and power, which seems to me to be inconsistent when one reflects a little. ConngsronpENT—.Weil, General, in your opinion, WD order to effectually settle these repeated dia turbances whicn occur so olten, what do you think is best to be done, both as relates to Con- gressional legislation and the action of the depart. monts ? MILITARY BULE THE BEST. General SHeRrpax—I think it will be necessary to place some power over the India:—the military power is certainly the best—vy which he can be Kapton the reservation, and be protected in bis rights there, and by which whites could be kept of; and in order to accomplish such a purpose it would be necessary for Congress to legisiate. CORRESPONDENT—What can be done by the military under the present existing state of Indian troubles? General SHERIDAN—We propose to punish the Ipdians who have been hostile and who are absent from their reservations, and force tbem back on to the reservations, killing a8 many of them as it tp necessary for us 10 do to accomplish that pur- pose. Should they go back to the reservations beiore receiving such punisiimeni, we expect to | arrest ali those who have committed murder and | punish them in such way as the government may | direct, and to arrest such of the ringleaders as we may deem necessary and send them off to Fort Snelling, or some distant place, heeping them for such time as we may think necessary tn order to | ake them behave themseives. CoRRESPONDENT—Would pot the utilization of Indian labor under an enforced discipline and the taking up of the young men as recruits into our army, which was done with the Sepoys by the Briusn tn lodia, be a very good partial method of preventing them, by reason of idleness and their nomadic customs, from roaming abroad and com. mitting depredations as now? HOW TO UTILIZE THE INDIAN. Genera! SHERIDAN—I do not think that the Indian question is sufMicientiy serious to necessitate the mapagement reierred to by the British government in India. So far as the first part of the question is concerned, | think that the proper management of | Indians on reservations 1s that of eniorced labor, | and that can only be accomplished through the military authority. 11 the military were in charge of each reservation the commanding oficer could subdivide the Jand und break up the tribal elan- nishness of Indians and could, in a very short time, enforce a system of jabor that would probably soon become seli-supperting © the indian. 1 wish to state, while the reserva- ‘ion system is the only one that the Indian can be controlled and governed by, that the first process | when they commence the reservation Iile 1s the jying off of the Indians. They commence dying off very rapidiy after they are pnt upon the reser- vations, and they usually die, the majority of them, of consumption, superinduced by exposure, homesickness, change of life and hereditary venereal diseases. hat gocs on for two or three yeurs; then they seem (« healthy, and what is then left cau, in my opinion, be made good laber- ing men and s& supporting. The number of | reservations necessary to govern the wild Indians inside of my command would not bo many. Four reservations in the Indian Territory would govern ali the wild Indians there now, ana five or six reservations in the upper country north ofthe Union Pacific Ratiroad would provably be TEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 1874.--WITH SUPPLEMENT. qeives. They raised chickens in great abundanes, | agement of Indisn affairs, has been involved in an | thetr turn, and they were in a pretty fair way of making but- | inextricable maze for some time, and the differ- ter at the time I left—some of them wer allcame from @ aystem of enforced labor, Nearty all the Indians that we have in the coun- try, except the Stoux and sowe of the Cheyennes, Kiowas and Comanches, may be considered as — broken down. Ali tne extensive tribes of Indians {n Wasbington and Uregon Territories were broken down by the troops and put on reservations, and itis more than probable that the Sioux and the Southern tribes reierred to will have to be broken down in that way before they settle on the reser- vations, Should the miitary have charge o/ the reservations if an Indian leaves he can be pre- vented from coming back until he ts pioperly punished. He can be deprived of nis meansof | subsisience; he can be followed and harassed, But as it gues now Indians leave aud come back | when they please, and there 1s no government. | Among Indians there are no laws for government. ‘There is no chief who has any great influence, ex- cept influence to do bad. His induence ts very great in that respect; butifhe. attempts to stop @ war party from going out any young man can Step up as a leader of that war party, and the chief 1s periectly helpless to prevent it irom starting, | and uniortunately he usually has his share of the | piunder whea it comes back. RESULTS OF DIVIDED AUTHORITY. CORRESPONDENT—Ueneral, you have some views im regard to the increase of the ration for the Indian, as being demanded by the requirements of his case and calculated to give him more satisiac- ton and more contentment? General SHearpaN—in my judgment there nas been an insufficient quantity of food issued to Indians, ard I think that Dis daily rations should be increased beyond the presevt allowance. 1 also think that Indian reservations are made entirely ‘too iar, nd It 18 @ source ol great dissatis‘action on the part of the white settlers that it should be so. They usually take the ground that the Indian is no better than anybody else. They say be is lazy, he 18 good for nothing, he don’t work, ne hae Ro profession and that the government gives him large quantities of iand, very often among the wild tribes, averaging 10,000 acres for every head of a family; while a settler can only receive from the government | 160 acres of land, and he says that in getting that 160 aeres he fences tt in, he puts up a house, he tills the soil, he pays his taxes to the government, and he does not see why the government should 80 Much to the Indian and so little to him, and the consequence ts he does not hesitate to encroach upon Indian limits, and there is no way of keeping him off except by the use of the troops. CORRESPONDENT—What, in your judgment, Gen- eral, should be done by Congress in the way of legislation to proviae a remedy ? General SHERIDAN—I think that Congress ought to transfer the government of all wild Indians to the military authority of the country, and that each department commander should be heid re- Bponsible for the proper management of the In- dian reservations iuside of bis command. It should go with the general admiatstratian of the army, aud in making this remark I wish it to be understood that we are not seeking it at all, although we have a great annoyance at the pres- ent time On account of divided authority. Should the Indians be transierred to the military power we have a fear that we would be all made out ras- cals within about six or eight months. COBRESPONDENT—Is there not some way of pre- venting the robbery and extortion of the Indian by In agents and others, and is this not the prime cause of the principal part of the dissatie- Jaction of the Indians, and their warlike acts? THE INDIAN DEPARTMENT INCOMPETENT. General SHERIDAN—I do not wish to make any charges against anybody, but I know that the In- dian Department has but very little machinery in it tor the purpose that it hae undertaken, and that what httle it has is loosely managed; while the army has a perfect machinery, not only for the ad- ministration of a large command, but for aceu- Yacy in accountabtitty and honesty in disburse- ments, CopnesPonpENT—How about the Christianization and civilization of the Indians in case these res. ervations were trangferredy General SHERIDAN—The ability to accomplish this purpose would be greatly facilitated by the change. Ministers of tne Gospel would have Perfect protection and every assistance, and the Indians being under a police surveillance they could circulate much better for the accom- Plisbment of their purposes. The propriety of Police regulations will be appreciated by compari- 808 with what would be the state of affairs in New York city, for instance, in case its police and militia regulations were withdrawn. CORRESPONDENT—Could not the Indian; be em- | ployed to great advantage as soldiers? INDIANS 48 SOLDIERS, General SHERIDAN—I Dave always thought that the idea of employing the Indians as soldiers wasa very good one, and we have employed a number of Indian scouts. There are nearly three hundred in 1nis division at this time. As scouts they do ad- mirably. There is no trouble in their management, and they so far forget thgir allegiance to their own | people as to go ireely out to fight them whenever they are called upon. Even Indian soldiers en- ltsteda belonging to different nations that have al- ways been at war when they become scouts seem to forget their old hatreds and to work admirably together. The only case o! defection in our Indian scouts has been at Fort Fetterman a short time ago, where 2 few but recently enlisted deserted ‘and joined their people. The only tning in the whole Indian question is the proper management of the reservations. CorresPoxp2NT—Do not a small number of In- diaus who are troublesome cover a great extent of coautry which would be of immense value to the United States if opened up? General Suenipay—I would say yes; ana it seems strange tiat @ great government like this should not insist upon making every portion of the country safe tur iis citizens to travelover. The region between the western slopes oi the black Hills and the Big Horn, or even beyond as far as the Rosebud and down as ‘ar south asthe Wind River Mountains, 15 & section of great mineral wealth; still,a few hundred Indians have been covering this country and preventing its develop- ment. Then take the soutnern part of the coun- try—the very portion of the country that seems to be of the least value jor cultivation is and will become the most valuable portion of the country for grazing purposes. Immense herds are now scat- tering ali over the plains of the South, and, witn @ population increasing as rapidiy as oure, the necessity of the development in the grazing inter, | ests of the country is very great, and is very much sufficient to govern all the [ndiane as jar north as the Upper Missouri. As far asthe present Indian war is concerned, itis only @ little greater in ite magnitude than it has been for the last three or four Years; and there cannot be any general In- dian war. Of the Indians north of the Union Pacific Railroad, £00,could not be kept together for five days cn account of inability to procure food, Of the Indiaag now hostile in the Indian Territery, the total number, in my opinion, is not over trom 800 te 700 warriors. They can keep together a little Better than the northern Indians, vecauae the buffaioes range more in thet direction. So that any Indian war of great magnitude ts mere | bosn. There is nothing m the Indian question, ex. | cept simply the proper Management of Indians on | reservations. GENERAL SUERIDAN'S EXPERIMENT.

CoRRESPONDENT—It has been alleged that the Giane, Are not the experience and the facts to the contrary, showing that the army are their vest friends ¢ Generai SHEnipay—It ts my opinion that the | best ‘riends of the Indians are the officers and soi- aiers of the army. In a very great expesience in contact with the Indians T have always observed the groatest kindness and consideration on the part of officers and men, and where the Indians come in hibit more confidence in them then in anybody else. It is my belief that had the Indians been under control of the army there never would have | oben any Indian wars, and bat very little of the numerous troubles we have had ior the imat fiteen or twenty-five years. TOE PRESENT ARMY MOVEMENTS. CORRESPONDENT—W hat is now being done, Gene. | ral, in your department against the hostile Indians now on the warpath ? General SHeRIDAN—Against the Indians now hostile ou the borders of Texas we have at present We scarceiy expect to ac- police Giscipiing over the Incians by the troops, | eomplish much before the winter, but we had to put the columns im the field now because other Indians who desire to be iriendly may be forcea four cojumas in march. out. Here the interview with General Sheridan was closed, and your correspondent took leave of a show, might have soldier who, as his observation: been aimost as successful a8 a statesman, THE QUAKER PLAN REVIEWED. The Indian auestion, or, more properly, the man: | what idelity, | army bas been guilty of cruelty toward the In- | | contact with oMcers and soldiers they seem to ex. | and it | ences of opinion as to the best plan of jurisdiction over or jor them have arisen mainly since the efforts have been inaugurate? by various humaai- | tarians among the reiigious sects, and principally those known us Quakers, Without violating the | self-sufficiency and reliance which these people | Dave seemed to feel from the start in the eMcacy | of their pian, it 1s needless to say that thus far It | bas proved a stapendous failure, notwithstanding General Grant nas afforded every facil y for the success of the promising but costly experiment, | which has resulted in an additional outlay by the government amounting to hundreds of thousands both im the expenses tucurred by the transperta- | tion of these so-calied Indian Commissioners and their attaciés as well asiu the subsequently re- quired movemeuts of the army, which are brought about by the “wheedling system” practised upon | | the Indian by agents, thus resulting in creating @ | condition of war rather than one of peace and conciliation, which the humanitarians set out to | effect. But as well might they expect to play | unharmed with a ball-grown pauther as | to expect that the Indian ig to be | tufuenced by their dawdiing. No matter what may be said for these praiseworthy gentiemen, | however well intentioned their efforts may be, a8 they truly are, combined witn the peace policy of President Grant, which owing to the nature of the Indian has proved a fatiure, yet the fact stanas out that these Commissioners and all their associ- ates do not understand the Indian nor, what 18 more, any practical way oi! solving the Indian policy. For while it cannot fairly be gaid that it is of national importance, yet it is @ mational ques- tion inasmuch as the Indians are wards of tho Ration, and we are bound to afford them protec- tion as well to punish them, within the spirit and @pplication of the law, for wrongdoing and trans- gressions upon it. We are, moreover, boynd to protect the glorious pioneer white nan, who, whether as farmer, miner or mechanic, plunges out with sturdy stroke, carried by the tide of civilization surging westward, and takes his position as a iree man upon the broad prairies of the Weat or among the treasure laden mountains which stand as sentinels above them. We must afford them security while we a.so guard the Indiaff in his rights, even a8 we would tbose of the colored man, about which latter we are and have been exercised almost to convulsions at times. Truly the Indian Geserves that Much at our bands, foris he pot of the aboriginal race of this land, the very pre-emp- tional owner of the soil, taken from him under form and color of isw and in the sainted name of civilization. THE INDIAN QUESTION NATIONAL. This, then, is a national question, because it affects national welfare; and hence it becomes our legislators to apply the remedies required in a Straightiorward way, and to strengtnen the hands of those who properly can adjust this very im- portant matter. It has been said that the Peace Commissioners do not understand this subject, and itisso, The revolting murder of that noble soldier, General Canby, and the Modoo war prove it, But the army ao understand it, and know all about the Indians, because they have been among them for nearly @ half century, and the record of thetr management while under the care and su- pervision of the army are proof of it. Should not a0 officer who first went on the plains thirty years ago, and has variously lived among and watched them during the interim, be much more familiar with their every requirement than the divinity professor and student, who argue their premises and conciusions irom the abstract in their sala retirement and from the code of “good will to all men?” There is @ practical as weil as a theoretical treatment to be adopted; and while it is no part of the duty of your correspondent to take sides with either the church or army people in this controversy, in which the poor Indian has suf. fered, yet the truth, with the facts; must be told in order that with the ventilation of the whole thing, and the exposure of the under- lying evils which are wormed into it, the HERALD may be the means of solving the dim- cuity, and give to our legislators, as well as diving nd army people, the true light and inior- Matton which will lead them in co-operating to ac- complish that end. Whoever will take up and read the work known as “The Rise and Progress of the British Power in Inata,” by Peter Auber, late Secretary to the Directors of the East India Company, will not have failed to observe in how many respects the experience of that company in Managing the natives or Sepoys resembles our own with the Indians. He will also discover that there are methods founded in firmness, discipline and justice which make of an otherwise danger- ous and troublesome foe an ally of importance and an instrumentality of great good. Kindred with this work will be found as instructive to our Statesmen, ‘‘Retroszects and Prospects of Indian Policy,” by Major Evane Bell, late of the Madras tam Corps, and author of the “Empire in India and the Mysore Reversion,” equally instructive historical works upon the treatment of tne natives in tbe interests of civilization and thelr own advancement, Likewise mignt be taken up with profit Mr. J. B. Norton’s “Rebellion fo India” and “Topics jor Indian states. men.” The lessons of experience may be applied as well by nations as individuals, and in the sclence of government, which, alter ail, is only what is matured by precept, example and experi- ment, controlled by observation of the benefits accruing therefrom, that they may with equal propriety be secured to those who imitate and lok low 28 those who plan out and lead, As perhaps your correspondent may have occusion hereaiter to reier more in detail to the historicai view of the case, these landmarks will for the present be dis- missed, to be taken up 1D & Succeeding communi- cation from the field, where present facts can be compared more titly with past examples. SufMfice it to say that the eventiul occurrences which are impending in the Indian’s future will be likely to settle forall time by their decisiveness the pre- tensions ol this Savage race and cause the “lust of the Mohicans,” like his fathers, to fall into the grooves uw: Civilization and to learn raising coro aod industrial pursuits like bis white brother, who receives no iavor irom the law, but must | work, beg or starve. The day is not far distant | when the last actual field war whoop wiii be heard, and, with President Grant, the Indian will be obliged to chime in and say, “Let us have peace.” The indian question will gravitate to its settle ment and be sei tied forever.
