10 PUBLIC SERVICE REFORM. An Important Movement to Extir- pate Corruption. OPINIONS OF THE ARMY CHIEFS. Advantages of the Proposed Change in the In- dian and Pension Bureaus, Wasuixeton, March 25, 1876, The Committee on Military Aflairs, of which General Sauning, of Olio, is chairman, some time ago directed \ series of twelve questions concerning suggested army ‘elorms and changes to the general officers of the army, ‘equesting answers to them. One of these questions wus i= What is your opinion as to the propriety of transfer- ting the Indian and Pension bureaus to the War Depart- ment? We subjoin some extracts from the replies received by the committee, General Sherman answers :— ‘The great mass of the Indians of our country are now located on reservations, and are entitled to receive an- uuities, goods and food, according to treaties made long ayo, and Jor the taithiul execution of which treaties the faith of the goveruiment is pledged. These Indians vary Widely im their habits, and should be dealt with accordingly. The present army is now stationed in small detachments at military posts, chietly at or near “hese reservations, to keep the peace between these indiaps and their white neighbors, between whom ibere has always existed a conilict of interest and autural hostility. Now, as the military authoritics are already charged with the duty of keeping sue peace, I am sure they wiil be the better able to accomplish this end it intrusted with tho issue of the annuities, whether of money, tood or clothing.

General Palmer says:— With regard to the transferring of the Indian and Pension bureaus to the War Department I will give it as my opmion that the pensioners of the army could be paid by the disbursing officers of the army without any great increase of expense, and if the movey appropriated for the InGians were placed in the hands of army officers it would all be disbursed fairly and honey but then what would become of the noble army of indian agents, who think it very hard if they cannot make a fortune in a very few years on a salary of $1,500 per annum? General Reynolds say: I would recommend the transfers. General Hazen says:— In my opinion the Indian and Pension bureaus prop- erly belong to the War Department. He also refers in the following complimentary terms to the letter on “Army Matters” recently printed in the Hxmatp:— Natt, Obio, Feb. 8, 1876, ropounded in the c Gexenat Basing answers to the questions rb Januai ‘uw You HeRarp of Januar: the questic ner than | coulddo.

Most respecttully, HAZEN. General Howord alone, so far as we notice, differs from all his fellow officers, He says:— 1 would not adyise the transfer of the Indian Bureau to the War Department for two reasons :—First—It turns the attention of the army trom its legitimate work, \—It will subject the army to the usual public denuociation direcied toward Indian Bureau agents, and be constantly detrimental to the reputation, and finally injurious to the morale of the army. that officers can be selected trom the army who would do the duty with zeal, efficiency, and probably with more general satisfaction to the ‘public than the indian agents, who are less well paid and further removed from coequal associates, But General Howard’s scandalous mismanagement, with civilan help, of the Frecdman’s Bureau makes his opinion on this subject of little value. ‘There is still a good deal of opposition in the House to the transier, and it is supposed that the Senate will Oppose it because the change would cause Senators to lose patronage, But the common sense of both Houses favors the change as one of the most important and soblteg writing then | “Army Matters,” which disensses | | have noticed in a much more complete man- | tains more of ldo think | HEBREW WEDDING.

It was formerly under ihe Secretary of War, ana there were as many charges, and as grave ones, against it then as now, If, however, with the transter ot the indian affairs, you will reorganize the bureau by substitutiog com- Jeanding ollicers of posts tor Indian agents, and miti- lary district and department commanders tor superin- teudents of Indian wffairs; by having the officers ot tne Quartermaster’s, Commissary aud Medical departments of the army make all contracts tor Indian suppiies, Wwansport, care for, issue and account forthem; by hat&ng ali payments to or on account o/ Indians thade vy the Pay Department of the army, and by having an vilicer detailed by the War Deparimemt to act as Com missioner ,of Indian Aflurr, lum of opimion it would de @ good thing forthe Indians, the Treasury and the country, and a very disagreeabie aud tuankless one for ihearmy. However, the machinery which would av- complish this is already 1 existence for the needs of the army, and woula require but sught modification to put itm working order to perform this additional duty, Que ol the great advantages of such a system would be to take this Indian question—ihe administrative part of it—out of politics, and correct the frauds on the Indians, either in the original contracts for sap- plies or in the distribution of them, which bas been Jor generations a reproach to every administration of our national affairs. Another advantage would be iis #reut economy, General Terry says:— Ihave so little acquaintance with the business of the Bureau of Pensions that 1 am not able to express &n opinion Upon that part of this question which re- laws to it, but 1 am decidedly of opimon that tho Bureau of ludian Affairs should be transterred to the War Department, Genoral Ord says; J think it would be an adv: tage to the Indians and tend to maintam peaceable relations with them, Question—Teli us brielly What some of the advan. tages would be over the present sysiem by the transfer of the control of the Indiuns entirely to the War De- ry of ra- partment, Auswer—Promptuess in the del Huns aud sapphes) We have to deliver th froops in the immediate vicinity of the agent fame machinery, in a measure, could do both.

The clerical duties here at Wash- ington and at Department Headquarters pertormed by general service men would be very materially reduced. Auother advaptage would be niaintaining peaceable relations, because ii we bad to tight the Indians we should want to do itas rapidly as possible. If we want to muintain peaceable reiations we ought to know the Indians thoroagbly im time of peace and put the best neu in as agents, men Who wouid do their whole duty, The ludians, as a rule, respect force.
