Ps A b I INDIAN MANAGEMENT. [CONTINUED FROM EIGHTH ands, under which the government ts bound to make some form of provision for the Indians, In some in- stances perpetual annuities in coin are stipulated for, in yothers a d 1d amount is to be paid in a cel tain number of annual instalments, but generally the Indians receive goods and provisions, and the services of farmers, teachers, artisans and laporers who pad by the government, The oldest treaty in force is made with the Pottawattomies, August 3, 1795, and the most recent that with the Cheynenes, May 10, 1868, With some tribes as many as eight treaties are sull cparaiiye, ‘he following are treaty Indians :—-apa- che jintboines, thle gee | Comanches, Cheyennes, Chickasaws, Chippewas of various tribes, Choc: tawa, Arapahoes, Cheyennes, confederate tribes and bands of Indians in middie Oregon, Creeks, Crows, Delawares, D’wamish and other allied tribes in Washington Territory, Flatheads and ou a Teeboe ie Sie ven Pode ickapoos, Kiowas, Klamaths an: jocs, wakehe,.. Menomonees, Miaimies, mixed Shoshones, Bannocks and Sheepeaters, Molels, Navajoes, Nez Per- céa, Omahas, Osages, Uttoes and Missouries, Pawnce® Poncas, Pottawattomies, Quapaws, Quiniaelt and Quille- ae ae and Fexes, Seminoles, Senecas, Shawnee: Shoshones of various bands, Six Nations of New York, Shoghones and Bannocks, Sioux of different tribes, Snakes, Sklallams, Utes’ of various bands, Walla Wailu Cayuse and Umatilla tribes, Winnebugoes, Yakama Nation. SUPPLIkS, EXPENDITURES AND ACCOUNTS, Under existing statutes Ind/an supplies and annuity goods are purchased by the Secretary of the Interior by contract upon proposals duly advertised for. These Supplies, &c.. consist of beef cattle and other provi- sions, blankets and other dry goods, flour, groceries, iron and steel (or blacksmiths’ shops, agricultural im- ements, seeds, &¢. The United States are also Bound by treaty stipulations with various tribes to Aree vide teachers, physicians, farmers, millers and skilled mechanics, such as carpenters, wheelwrights, black- gmiths, &. In the case of Indians wits whom there are no treaties the amounts appropriated by Congress are to be ye pats in such goods, provisions and other articles as the President may from time to time deter- mine, aigo in instructing the Indians in agricultural and mechanical pursuits, in providing employés, educating children, procuring medicine and medical attendance, caring for helpless orphans and supporting the aged, sick aad intirm, and in any other respects promoting their comfort, civilization and improvement. As a check upon Indian expenditures the act of April 10, 1869, authorized the appointment of a Board of Indian Commissioners, to consist of not more than ten persons, and to be appointed by the President solely, trom men eminent tor intelligence and phil vy, who shall serve without pecuniary compensation, to supervise all expenditures of money appropriated for the benefit of the Indians and inspect all goods pur- chased for them, The examination of vouchers and accounts, however, is not to be a prerequisite to pay ment, 80 that accounts can be paid either with or with- out the approval of the Board of Commissioners, or, if oecessary, iv spite of their positive disapproval. The accounts, after administrative action iF the Com- missioner of Indian Affairs, are examined by the Sec- ond Auditor and Second Comptroller, and finally filed away in the Second Auditor's office. Goods, provisions snd supplies generally, purchased by contract, are paid for directly from the Treasury, upon requisitions made by the Secretary of the Interior. The amount so paid averages over $4,000,000 per year. THE STATUS OP INDIANS. Previous to March 8, 1871, the United States virtu- ally recognized the sovereignty of Indian tribes by making sdlemn treaties with them. Under the act of March 8, 1871 (Revised Statutes,.2,079), no Indian na- tion or tribe can thereafter be acknowledged or recog- nized as ao independent nation or tribe as a Power with whom the United States may contract by treaty, but no treaty lawfully made and ratified Brier to the flate of the act is affected thereby. It is alzo provided that whenever the tribal organization of any Indian (tribe ts in actual hostility to the United States the President is authorized to abrogate all treaties with such tribe, tl, in his opinion, the same can be done eon: sistently with good faith and logal and national obli tions, A decision of great importance ae on the status of the, Indian as regards his right to the land ho occupies under treaty stipulations was made by the United States Supreme. Court in the case of the United States ve. Cook (19 Wallace, 591), and 1s to the effect that the right of Indians in the land is thas of occu- pancy alone. They have no power of alienation except to the United States, The fee is in the United States, subject only to the right of occupancy. Under this de cision any one purchasing lumber from treaty Indians, who have no right to cut lumber except for the purposo of clearing their land for actual cultivation, will run the risk of losing both his money and the lumber. DELEGATIONS. One of the most expensive games connected with the Indian service is the taking of delegations to Washing- ton to have talks with their ‘‘fathers,’’ the Secretary of the Interior avd Commissioner of Indian Afjairs, and their ‘‘Great Father,” the President. The sombre looking chiefs, whose acme of luxury on their native plains has been a fat stewed puppy, are taken to hotels aud fed on porterhouse steak, broiled chicken and all the delicacies of the season until they become surteitea wit “white man’s victuals’? and yearn for their aboriginal fleshpots. Their agents, anxious to keep them in good humor, order raw tripe, raw liver, &c., and the noble red men spit these dainties on sharp sticks and cook them in their own rooms at an additional charge to the United States of $1 per man, per diem, for “extra mealsin rooms.” When the delegatipn leave their quarters the landlord, with a sigh of relief, begins to reckon up his damages, and his little bill bas to be made expansive enough to cover defaced walls, Brussels carpets worn out with war dances, broken furniture, vermin, filth and the miscel- laneous débris naturally to > expected in civilized apartments just vacated by aw horde of untutored savages, One of the golden rules of Indian delegations is not to walk when they can possibly ride. Accordingly omni- bus and hack hire figure prominently in all delegation hotel bills. The only redeeming feature in these bills s the pron they incidentally afford, in the number af baths charged for, that the Indian is a great lover of personal cleanliness, i REGISTER OF INDIAN OFFICIALS.

GOLD QUIET AT 113 A113 I-4 A 115, —_—_—>+—_——_ A Hardening Tendency in Monoy—Call Loans 7 Per Cent, Gold, and 1-32 Commission— Railroad Bonds and Govern- ment Securities Firm, Ware Street, Wepneapay, Dec, 29—6 P, M. An anfortanate typographical error in our last money article placed us in the position of accusing the Lake Shore party of ‘borrowing or stealing exchange. Of course, what we did mean, that they had been “borrowing sterling exchange,” was suiliciently clear to most persons, but the misprint is none the less annoying, In this connection it may be well to state that the report of the amount borrowed seems to be somewhat exaggerated, and that {t approaches nearer the sum of $2,000,000 than $8,000,000, as rumored yesterday. While this operation undoubtedly supplies the clique with a large sum of money with which to carry their stocks for the next sixty days, it virtually places them short of an equal amount of gold, and on the rise or fall of this latter will be determined whother the bor- rowers have ‘paid dear for their whistle” or not, If within sixty days, or such time as possible renewals of the borrowed sterling bills may permit, the Lake Shore holdings can be profitably marketed and the coin bought in at existing or lower prices, the operation will be a paying one, but in case of events shaping them- selves contrarily there will have been created so much additional expense to be added to the first price of the stock, Certainly at the present writing things do not appear auspicious for the Lake Shore pool. Unlike that of Si- loam the more the watersare disturbed by the operative brothers the less clean do these latter appear to get. In fact, it looks seriously as if they were getting out of their depth, and it may shortly happen that Boyton life suits will be more in demand than sealskin coats. The Twenty-third street party, too, stand ever watehfully upon the brink, ready to duck each adventuresome swimmer that strikes out for shore and higher prices. Recourse has even been had to what Dr. Johnson has called the ‘fool's argument’’—viz., betting om the future course of the stock—and sums numbering well up in the thousands have been wagered that it would ‘and would not sell at 80 during the coming year. Apart from the general stagnation in business which we have before alluded to as rendering the present mo- ment inauspicious for a rise in the stock market, Lake Shore is unfavorably affected by the uncertainty of Commodore Vanderbilt’s position in respect to the same. He is accredited with having disposed of his holdings to a great extent and to have transferred his interest to the Canada Southern roads, as offering, th connection with New York Central, a more ready and expeditious line of rail to the great West. The fact that 15 is bid for the stock, of Canada Southern to-day, when it was simply without quotation a few wecks back, seems to give color to the. reports above re- ferred to, One thing is very cortain—the present clique in Lake Shore have been struggling along for a month or more under a gradually increasing burden. Like Sinbad and the Old Man of the Sea, they can neither dump their load nor carry it with comfort. The market price has rather receded than advanced, and though there is an occasional upward spasm that frightens weakly bears to cover, “Ursa Major” still growls deflantly, and has no notion of hybernating just at present. ‘We have dwelt upon the condition of Lake Shore, as it is the feature of the market, and because all other speculative stocks, for the moment, take their cue from its fluctuations, We aismiss it with the observation ‘that to-day, as for many past, it was the centre of at- traction, Transactions were possibly not so large as yesterday, although. the closing. price showed a decline | of hard on to oxe per cent from the best quotation of | the day, There was @ brilliant opening in Pacific Mail which reminded one of those jolly junketing days when the “Managing Director” held high festival upon the City of Peking. But, alas! prices came to as sudden grief as did the vessel we have referredte. The Twenty-third street party, which seems to be the bée noir at present of ail bull movements, early appeared ag sellers of the stock, and on the marketing of some 2,500 shares the price fell off to the lowest figure of the day, where it | persistently stuck until the end of business, as though stunned and demoralized. There was some effort made to vitalize Northwest preferred by bidding 57, buyer 60, tor 1,000 shares, or 44 of 1 per cent above the regular price, but as the proposition was looked ipon as chaff | and the birds were too wise to be caught by the spu- | rious article, the effort failed. Union Pacific was, as usual in the absence of the | lavatory, left to its own devices, and there was a mini- mum of gales. Some turns were made on buyers’ op- tions for 60 days, %{ of 1 per cent and 6 per cent | interest being paid for having the stock carried for that Jength of time, This rate is not excessive in view of |; the unpopularity of the stock among money lende; and the stringency of the money market to-day, Bank accounts were made up with some difficulty un- less borrowers were willing to submit to extreme rates, although at no time was there a dearth of the needful, | Loans were made as high as 1-32 and Interest, on call, with mixed collaterals, although 60 day money on pledge of governments was freely offered at 6 per cent.

There are causes at work before referred to—such as the demands for money to carry along large quantities of produce that should have been marketed, a steady and continuous contraction of legal Lenders, &c.—which point toward a different condition for our local money market from that which has existed fora longtime past.
