Nimmo's Views of the Pablic Land Question, Special Telogram to The Bex, OHi10AGO, Sept, 2.—Joseph Nimmo, j., late chief of the bureauof statistics, 18 now stop- ping in the city. Hoe s en route to the statos and territories embraced in the range, ranch, cattle, horse and sheep growing area of the interlor, with the view of writing & book upon that subject. To a reporter he said: “I am devot’ng special attention to Indian and public land questions. I came to this city direct from tho western portions of Kan- sas and Indian territory, scenes of the tronble regarding the cattlemen and the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indian tribes, Asa result of very careful investigations my views have been radically changed in regard tothe ‘merita of the whole subject since I left Wash- ington. It appears to me that the whole difficulty has had its origin in the fact that a number of army officers and their friends ware formerly largely engaged in the herding of cattle on the Cheyenneand Arapahoe lands without payiog a cent for the privilege, which was torminated by the leasing of the lande. Hundreds of thourands of cattle were also graziog on the Cheyenne and Avapahos reser- vations without any compensation whatever to the Indi These latter cattle were ostensibly pi g through the Indian terri- tory on two trails extending from Texas to the northern rangee, but, in fect, being held on the Cheyeune and Arapahoe lands where they wero fattoned and theuco numbers to the morkets of Louis and Chicago, After a discn subject hetween the army officers at Fort Reuo, the agent, aud the tribes assembled in council, it was decided to be best to leass the lands to resp.nsible parties, not one-twentieth wt of which lands were occupied or needed v R thint LcidiRnfor kY, DUrEods i Seocebary ‘eller at first stoutly refused to acsede £ this proposition, but he was finally prevailed upon to do 8o on arguments showing that such leasiog would be protective of the interests of the Indisns and promotive of their welfure, Thne strongest arguments of this sort was mado by tho amy officars skationed at Fort Reno. “*Gen, Pope, commander of the department, wroto a long and very earnest appeal in fayor of the plan of lessivg, and Gen, Sheridan cordially endorsed sll that was said by Gen. Pope, aud tha socrstary of war transmitted the entira onrrespondence to Teller, Upon this appeal Teller relented, allowing the In- dians to lease 80 much of thsir lands as they had no use for to rosponsible parties. _ “I will mention as one of the amusing fon- tures of this business the fact that seven- hths of the original lessees were democrats and that they eecureed the approbation ot the secretary of the fu.Odfor lmost entirely , through'the ivfluence of democratic senatora . and members of congross, 8o that the leating ““was1n fact an army arrangement, backed up and carcied out almost entirely by democrats, Tam of the opinion that although inyestiga- tion of the recent difficulties will disclose the fact that they had orizin in the discontent of certain contumacious Indian leaders of bands, who kept themselves aloof from the maip body of their tribes, and certain squaw men and certain axmy officers and their fi stationed at Camp Supply outside of the Ohey: nne and Arapahos reservations, “During the last two years the latter have, in connection with bad Tndians and equaw- men, been utiug all their efforts to stir up dis- content and to pois.n the mind of the lieu- tenant general against the ocattlomen, animus appeas to have aristn from the fact already stated that their busivess of cattle- raising was cut off at the time cf the leasing of the lands, and that they were compelled to drive thelr herds—believed to have amounted to about 10,000 head—over into the pan- handle of Texas, where the graziog neither 8o rich nor so extensive, Besides t they had previously been paying coneiderable sums of n.oney to bands of outlaw Indians who made their abode along the northern line of the roservation and also for a very consid. erable portion of the time Camp Supply, I believe it was these Indians who made all the trouble, and that Gen., Sheridan was grossly deceived in regard to the whole matter and unintentionally misled the president, I belleve, fu that the leasing of the lands by the Indians had, up to the final de- nouement, the upprobation ¢f nine-tenths of the tribes, and that it proved to be baneficial 1o them, asit was a very large and valuable source of revenue, the lea:e money having inyariably bsen paid promptly and in ad- vance,” - — Ben Butler's Proposed Injunction a Lick in His Own Interest, ‘WasHINGTON, Sept. 1,—[Special to the Chicago Times ] ~Gen. McCook, of Colorado, says the proposition of Gen. B, F. Butler to enjoin the president to restrain him from en- forcing his proclamation for the removal of cattle from the Cheyenue and Arapahoe reser- vations is absurd. Hosays that no servico can issue against the president, but that if the cattlemen want to invoke the aid of the law they could get a writ of injonction againet the military officer who may be ordered by the president to enforce the proclamation He believes that the proclamation will be en- foroed quite promptly, no matter if the catule- owners do resort to the courts, Headded that of course no ipjunction cculd be asked for until the military thould commit soms avert act—should take some step towards forcibly ejecting the catule from the reservation. It is not believed by tho authorlties that force will be necesiary, ~The cattle-owners ccord- iog to advices to the interior department, wrrangicg to remove their stock, and if they show & disposition to get off the reservation a8 800n 4 practicabls ihey will be given such extention of time s may ba required; but should they manifest a disposition to fight the {;onlnnl\iun in the courts or otherwise, the nited States troops woild, it is suthorita- tively ::l:.ud‘ be ordered to remove the cattle w A large cattle rairer of the west now 1n this city ssys that Gen, Butler's interest in the question arises from tho fuct thas be is inter- estad In reveral ranches which comprise gov- eroment land illegally fenced in.

Northern Pacific Land Grant Liti- gation, Internal Revenus Oollections for Jaly ~The Alabama O>mmission— Indisn Matters, Tae Kffort to Tacr Silver Olrouls- tion Meeting wth Sucoess, ‘WasniNarox, Sept. 2,—Trearurer Jordan sald to-day that the policy adopted by the treasury department to secure a_better circu- lation of silver coin is meeting with gratifying success, During the month of August just ended there was psid out from tho different sub-treasuries $1 667,444 in standard dollars, and $1,452,902 in fractional silver coin, which amounts were largely in excess of tho issue of silver during the corresponding month of last year. Mr, Jordan says the withdrawal of one and two dollar notes from circulation was made necessary by the rapld azcumula- tion of silver in the sub.treasuries, It was expected in this way to create a demand for silver coin. That the plan was successful is shown by the large output of silver auring the past month, So far no_formal complatnts or protests against the withdrawal of one and two dollar notes has been made. A pplications have, however, bsen received for large quan- titles of small notes. In each case the auswer has simply been made that the issue of these notes has besn suspended for the present. Treasury officials express thew- selves as much encouraged by the present state of finance, and predict an improvement {in the general business of the country. ‘Western Postmasters Appointed.
