Our Indian Policy. In discussing the Indian appropriation bill, Senator Morrell said, that to day nearly two-thirds of the entire military force of the country were engaged in what might properly be termed a grand Indian hunt after vagabond tribes of Indians, for such was the character of the service known to the country as an Indian war. The cost to the Government of each enlisted man on the Plains was $1,000 per annum, and the aggregate cost of the civil and military service on the Plains during the last Tout years was 78,900,000. During the last seven years, the army alone on the frontier has cost 140,000,000, while the entire cost of the Indian civil service, in connection with treaty stipulations, was for the same time less than $23,000,000. The entire Indian population on our Western borders was estimated at about 300,000, and although we had treaty stipulations with 230,000 of that number, we had denied to the Indian any right of person or property. In practice we had followed the precepts of the early discoverers, that the Indians had no rights which the white man was bound to respect. It was high time for the nation to determine whether the Indians should now be placed

where they might have the protection of the laws, or whether the present policy of extermination should be continued, with its attendant expenditures of from 20,000,000 to 25,000,000 annually. Mr. Morrell went on to show that aggressions upon the Indians, and the disregard by the whites of treaty stipulations, had been the real cause of the various Indian wars. The commission to investigate the causes of the Indian wars of 1SG1 and 1SG3, which cost some 610,000,000, expressly exculpated the Indians from blame. Official reports mention that the recent attack upon the Kansas Pacific Baiiroad was not committed by the Sioux, but by a band known as Dog soldiers, composed of renegade Indiaus of a great many tribes. Judge Perkins, long one of the leading Democrats of Indiana, has left that parly because of its disloyalty. In a letter published in the Indianapolis Journal of May 31st, he says: 'T expect to support the country in preference to party." In Cincinnati, June Sth, John I. Robbins was sentenced by Judge Emmous to imprisonment ia the county jail for one year and to pay a line of two thousand dollars, lljbliius was convicted of using photographed stamps on tobacco packages. The Indianapolis Journal changed hands on Monday morning, and announces L. W. Ilasselman, W. P. Fishback aud W. R.

But, as a two-thirds vote is roiinired to amend the constitution in this respect, the question remaius where it has always been, aud both cities will continue to be the Capitals. The subject brought out many able speeches. West Virginia Democracy aiheres to iljy ancient landmarks. At the Democratic State Convention held ;t Charleston, the new capital, a platform, was adopted demanding the repeal of ail test oaths and disfranchisements, and declaring the white race the superior aud ruling race of the country. This was only a mild way of sayiuj; that the franchise should be unconditionally restored to all rebels and denied to all negroes. John J.

It was thought the Senate Finance Committee would report the tax and tariff bill by the middle of this week. Commissioner Delano thinks next year be will be able to collect 60,000,000 from spirits, tobacco and fermented liquors. Ex-Commissioner liollius advises the abolition of the special license tax, and the collection of the revenue from few sources. His views seem to be in the direction of Sherman's tax bill, some parts of which the committee are rather certain to adopt as a substitute for the Schenck provision. The Senator agrees with the House that the taxes must reduced.

On the night ot the o'tb several head of stock were run off from the vicinity of Fort McPherson, Nebraska, by Indians. Lieutenant Thomas, with a part of Company I, Fifth Cavalry, started in pursuit, without rations, not stopping for breakfast, and after a hard chase of over sixty miles surprised their camp, recapturing the stock and thirty-three Indian ponies. They killed three Indians and wounded several, and captured the entire camp. Lieut Thomas and his party were two days without food, and on the march constantly. Buffalo Bill was with the party, and distinguished himself, as usual. Lieut. Thomas is a young officer from Woodstock, Illinois, and is a graduate of West Point. The Conference Committee on the Army bill have agreed to report a bill which reduces the army to 30,000, retains Logan's schedule of pay, increases the retired list to 300, musters out all officers uoassigncd on the 1st of next January, acd proxi-Jes for a board to examine officers whose discharge is recommended.

Red Cloud and party this morning had a Gual council with Secretary Cox and Commissioner Parker. The Secretary made a speech saying some requests made by tho Indians concerning rations and al lowing them traders would bo acceded to, and the Government would do all in their power to make them comfortable and happy, lie announced that they had already received some presents in the sLape of blankets, and would receive more in New York ou their way home. He repeated vilut the President said concerning Felt Fetterman. It must remain. They would be started on their bonis var 1 journey oa Monday, which information was received by the ludiaus with UDtnistakable signs of delight. Red Cioud spoke in reply, evidencins most certainly his dissatislaction at the determination of the Government not to remove Fort Fetterman. He said there was no necessity for its continuance, and its prevuce was a useless burden aud expense to the Great Father. He also took exceptions again to roads running through his country, and iutimatcd that if trouble arose it would bo the fault of the Great Father. Red Cioud made another speech, in which he said the troops in bis country were all afoot, and Government was thowing away its money for nothing. "The oHicers there are all whisky drinkers. The Great Father sends out these whisky drinkers because he dees not want them around him here. I do not allow my nation, or any white man, to bring a drop of liquor into my country. If he does, that is the last, ot him, and his liquor too. Spotted Tail can drink as much as he pleases on the Missouri river, and they can kill one another it they choose. 1 do not hold mj self responsible for what Spotted Tail and the traders do there. When you buy me auythig with my money I want you to buy ine what is useful. I do not want dirty flour, rotten tobacco, and old soldiers' clothes, dyed black, such as you bought for Spotttd Tail. I otily tell you what is true. You have had a great war, but after it was all over you permitted chiefs who had been fighting to come back." Secretary Ccx explained the treaty of 1So7 to the Iu Jians. and said: The best way is to be fiieudly, and deal bouestlv with each other. The last treaty made provided for a railroad to be built. ' The Sioux agreed not to disturb it, and that it should be built. Now, if the railroad interferes with hunting, we will make good the damage, by feeding you. We mean that the Government shall keep back white men from going into the Indian couutry, as well as bad iudians from going into the white country. This is what the troops are there for. "If any of our people at the forts Jo not do what is right, the President will punish them, and send better men in their places. The saaiC treaty gives the lines of the Indian country." (A map of the Indian country was produced, and the Secretary explained thu boundaries fixed in the trea ty of 1807, Red Cloud looking on with great interest.) Red Cloud said ho was asked to sign a treaty merely to show that he was peaceable, and not to grant their lauds. He continued, saying: "This is the first time L have heard of such a treaty. .1 never heard of it, aud do not mean to follow it. 1 wapt to know who was iutarpretor. W ho interpreted these things totie Indians?" The names of thres were meutioned, and he said, "j. know nothing about it. It was never explained to me." Bear in-grass said: 'The Great Spirit boars me to-day. I tell nothing but what is true when I say these words of the treaty were not explained. It was merely said that the treaty was for peace and friendship among the whites. When we took hold of the pen they said they would take the troops away so we could raise children." Secretary Cox explained that the treaty was signed by more than two hundred different Sioux of all bands. Red Cloud "I do not say the Commissioners lied, but the interpreters were wrong. I never heard a word, only what

was brought to my camp when the forts!

wcro removed. I came to make peace. You had your warehouses, or forts; when you removed them I tigned a treaty of peace. We wanted to straighten things up." Secretary Cox 4T have been very careful, so that no mistake should be made, and that every word should be as open as daylight, so we may understand what binds the ioux and ourselves. "We are trying to get Congress to carry out our promises, and we want the Indians to do their part. Ye simply say to them, this is the agreement made, as wn remember. We have copies printed. We will give one to Red Could, so it can be intet-preted to him exactly what it is." Red Cloud said ail the promises made in the treaties had uever been fulfilled. The object of the whites was to crush the Indiaus down to nothing. The Great Spirit would judge these things hereafter. "All the words I sent never reached tho Great Father. They were lost before they got here. I am Chief of thirty-nine nations. I will not take the paper with me. It is. all lies." The Secretary distributed copies of the treaty to the interpreters; agents and traders present, and adjourned tho Council till to morrow, in order, meantime, that the provisions of Ue treaty may be explained to the Indians. Trip to the East. Correspondence of tbo Indiana American. Annapolis, Md., Junk 4th, 1870. friend Bingham, Thinking that a few iiues from your bumble servant might be of some little interest to you and some ot your numerous readers, I concluded to write you and give some items concerning things that I have teen while passing over the road to this place. When 1 left Brookville on tho evening of the 3&th ultimo, there was considerable complaint ou account of the drouth. Here it is the reverse, and the complaint is that there is too much rain, it having raiued every day during the last two weeks. 8o while it has been very dry in the West, here iu the East it is wet. Tuesday morning, May 31st, I took my seat iu one of the splendid cars that run through to Baltimore on the Marietta & Baltimore & Ohio R. It. The country for the first twenty-five or thirty miles is very fine and pretty, and well cultivated, but as we proceed it becomes more rough aud broken. 'The wheat along the Marietta road betweeu Ciucinnati and Belpre is rather light in some places and the straw short, though it has the appearance of filling out well, but it is as good on a great portion of the route as could be expected in so rough, broken and poor a portion of the country. The wheat needs more rain, as well as everything else in Southern Ohio. Oats s'auds wel', but is very short The grass crop will le skoit unless there is more rain soon. There is not much grass except red clover. The corn is generally up, and it stauds well and looks well, but is somewhat backward on ac count of the drouth. The couutry as you approach Chillicothe becomes very fine. The Scioto Valley is beautiful, and the soil is very rich. The high biils on your left as you approach Chillicothe cciiiinr from the West, are very beautiful indeed; they are quite high and are still covered with forest trees. They would be called mountains by a great many Western people who have not seen mountains. When I first got sight of them I was delighted with their beauty. They brought to mind the early seencs where I spent my boyhood days. Thirtyone years is not sutiicieut to fade out of memory's eyo that beautiful mountain scenery on the never-:o be-forgotten Sus. quchanna River. Chillicothe is rather an old and dilapidated looking town. I was somewhat disappointed in the place, but I. presume I did not see the best portion of it. It is oue of the oldest places in Ohio, and was at one time the home of a numerous and powerful Indian tribe, which at this time is nearly extinct. In passing the fine grove of large acd beautiful elms at this place, my mind ran back to a period some eighty or ninety years ago, and called to memory the horrors anil sufferings of some poor, unfortunate white captives who were here tortured and put to death, for this place (Chillicothe) was one of those favor. ite places to torture and put to death such

white persons as the Indians might chauce ! approach to specie piwuent, or any proto capture on the frontier. gresi in netting rid of the note tender

After leaving Chillicothe, the country attain becomes more rough and broken. Betweeu Londonderry and Hampden it is very rough and broken, and, in fact, along a great portion of the road to the Ohio Uiver. It is one continued plunge into deep cuts and tunnels, and over high banks and trestle works. Through this portion of Ohio the hills are covered with pine chestnut nnd chestnut oak timber. Oa this portion cf'the road largo piles o: chestnut oak bark can be seen, which is shipped to other points for tanning purpobes, as it is the best quality of bark for that use. There is but little good farming land in this portion of Ohio, but there is plenty of iron and coal. It is the great reservoir from which the fuel can be had to supply the people of Ciucinnati and other places It is tiuitd interestiijor to see those hard j working miners emerging from those dark ! ..1 1 : . . i lit I auu gioomy unties witu small lamps attached to iheir caps to give them light in those dark and dismal plaee, whero they are at all times exposed to danger and death. we come to the Urno Uiver at iieinre where too ears are run on a large boat : and towed across tha river to Parkersburg ' by a steamer, on which steamer passeo- ' gers cau set their supper. After passing I Parkersburg we ascend the Little Kan a. j wha Uiver. In this valley there are a . ... : i it. i . l. . . I !

U estern V lrioia is a very rough country, and from what I could see of it J cannot conceive why people will stay there aud work those poor lands when plenty of good lands can be had in the West without money and without price by only taking possession of them. Iler.e in Western Virginia I find they have plenty of rain. It commenced raining shortly after we left Parkersburg, and rained all night and nearly all next day. Night coining on shortly after leaving Parkersburg, I could not see what the prospects of the crops are. We arrived at Cumberland at the dawn of dayj sq I missed seeing the fine mountain scenery

which there is said to be between Grafton

and Cumberland. J he latter seems to be a thriving place. Here we come to the Potomac River, which at this time is swollen by the heavy rains. The condition of the crops from here to the Relay House is trood, and in some places they are exceedingly fine. We passed Harper's Ferry about 9 o'clock A. M. This town shows the effects of the war of the Rebellion more than any place I have seen. Any person who has seen Harper's Weekly of 1S61 and noticed the sketches of the ruins of the U. S. Armory, Arsenal and Workshops, cannot but recogniie the original here when he passes by, as part of the wall and touooations remain as incy were lelt by the war. Here we cross the Potomac ou a une iron nriue ana pass tinrougn ine mountain gorge into a fine open country. In our travtl from here to the Relay House we pass many interesting scenes. We pacs over the Monocaey, a considerable stream, on whose banks the gallant L,ew Wallace made a stand with some hundred-day men from Ohio and a few oiber troops and disputed tho passage of the stream by the rebels in 1SG4. But they forced the stream and compelled him to retire with some loss. After passing

through a fine country we strike the Pa- j Bitters there is contained as u.uoh medical virtue tapseo River, on which lire still to be seen j as will be found in several gallons of ordinary the marks of the destructive flood of J une, j mixtures.

with so little notice that persons could not get away in time to save themselves in some instances. Mill dams, R.

R. bridges, factories, mills, &e., have been rebuilt and others are re building, but a great many remain as the flood left them, and only the ruins can be seen.
