GENERAL TELEGRAMS. THE MORGAN RAID CLAIMS. -

A Movement on foot to Transfer Them to the War Department. Special to the Sentinel: . ' '". Washington, Dec. !. Judge New is .trying, with every prospect of success, to make an arrangement for the transfer in bulk Of the Indiana Morgan raid claims from the office of the adjutant general of Indiana to the war department here. This will be very Important to the claimants, ina&sauch as the law requires . all such claims to be Cied on or before the first day of January, 18S. It will also probably . prove to be a large caving to the claimants in. the matter of attorneys' fees. THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR Mmfc.es His Anwaal Report What H Has to Say About the Noble Red a, - Washington, Nov. 27. The secretary of the . interior, la his annual report to the president, - discusses the Inuian question. He says: Whatever tMUbles and perplexities the presence of Use Indisns among a may cause, every man who love justice and who values the honor the American Bine will admit that it is -our solemn duty to leave nothing untried te prepare a better Ak Minn extermination, -aud a better rule than thai of brute force, for the original occupants of the soil upon wbch so many millions of our peopie ' have gwtn prosperous and happy. That all tl Indiaus ou a this Northern continent - have been ravages, and tbat "many of then are savages -now. true, but it la also true tbat uiauy tribe- Stave risen to a promising degree of elvtltestlun, ana there is no ruv-.o I jiluubl that tHa rent, if wisely guarded, will be 'uuud car-ar-leof following tueir example.

In fact toe band of while desperadees who were, wituin the last 1 mouths, hauued together in New Mexico for murder aud rapiue, waa larger t .au mat of the lndiaus recently on the war path near the southern part or the territory. White I am by no means disposed to beiiitle the deplorable uatnra of the '"Indian disturbance or the great value of tbe military force in suppressing them, it is but Just to the Indians to point out the important fact tbat disturbance and tosttlity is the exceptiou, aud peaceable conduct the mle.

To edncatetheir youth of both exes, so - as to introduce to the growing generation clvilized ideas, wants auu aspirations. 3. To allot parcels of land to Indians in sev- - eralty and to .give tbem individual title to their farms in lee, inalienable lot certain periods; thus to lunter the peine ol iudividual ownership of property in-uead of their former dependence upon the tribe wllu I s territory in common. .... 4. Won a settlement in severalty with Individual titles is sceoinplisbed, to dispose with their couaeutf those raoda on tueir reservations which are rot settled and used by tuem, the proceed to .fuiru a fund tor their beuetlt, which will gradually relieve the Wovernment - of the expenses ut present provided for by ani nual appropriations o.

KeierriDg to the assertions frequently nade that the tribal relations must be brokeu up, aud the reservation system must be abandoned, Secretary Bahurz observes that an attempt to accomplish three oi,jcu at uce all over the ' : country without intermediate stages by military force, would undoubtedly result In many cises or Indian wars of eagnltude and oitteruess which' would require a much larger army thaurthe -Ooverum-utat present possesses, -and prove In the end, not only most inhuman, bnt lu blood aad treasure mostexpeuslveof all method".

Dsily Sentinel of Saturday. Senator McDonald left the city yesterday afternoon for Washington in order t be in his place when Coogress meets next Monday. Knowing the anxiety of the public to have his views upon the political questions ot the day, a Sentinel reporter hunted him np anil succeeded in getting him to talk awhile for tbe benefit of if readers. He started the interview by asking the senator his opinion as to what Congress will do tie coining session. Senator McD. I don't anticipsts it renewal of the struggle of tbe last session over the election laws. The ist-ues in regard to these laws may be said to have been made np. Tba Democratic members have made every legitimate effort pot-sibls to re pes 1 these laws, and the Republican members have been determined that it should not be done. Without a twe-thirds Democratic majority, they must remain on tbe statute boots until the executive depi ttnent of tbe Government is changed. Dmouratio members have expressed their dttarminatim that no money thall be appropriated for the execution of these laws; therefore, the is, ties upon this qaestiou may be rrg rdrd at made up and the case paised over to the psoplo for trisl. Tbe appropriation bills wi.l bi passed tubstantiall v as agreed to at tbe extra session, covering all legitimate Oaveromen''. expecses and oniiiticg anything to pay for tbe execution of tbe election laws. Itep. Will any grinrral m amresof leg'tUtion coma before Congress at the approaching session? senator McD. Yes. I do not see why this sbould not be a working session. There are many questions of general interest that have remained in ths background that ought to be brought, to tbe front. The financial question sbould be left seventy alone. Our currency has worked into a good coodition, and wiib the cot.tinna' in create of our coin balances, which has been brought about partly from our mineral projections and pa- ly from the balance of trade which bas been in ctir favDr.it mutt continue to remain good. Thi re will be no necessity tor any legislation on he sabj ct, nntil it is found, if such sbon'd be the fed t int tbe present volume of pipercurrency is tetlundant; in which event it should ba rduced by re'iring the issues of tbe National banks. While I do not think there will be anything like a comnjt te revision of the tsr iff st the coining s-ssiou, it should bt modified and placed more nearly on a revenue basis. Tbe ucjutt discrimination against tbe West ought to bes'ricken out; as, f jr instance, nndar tbe present tan IF, salt ussd in curing fish psyj no duly, as there is a draw back on it for the fall amount of the duty paid, while every poood of it nsed in cur ing beef and pork pays a dn'y. While I do not 'sr( tbat fishermen should be burdened by a tax on salt, I gee no reason wby beef and pork sbould not be equally exempt from taxation. Then our regisrery and navigation laws need revliion so as to encourage tbe increase of oar eommert-ial marine which tbe war almo t destroyed. These and other unjust discriminations againt the West sbould not be ellowed to remain. So, you see, thers is ample work for the session without making it a political one. I think, too, that it shoe 1.1 be comparatively a short one, aod that its general cour shouid be in favor of retrenchment and reform, that ihs people may en joy the full benefit of the business revival as free as possible from governmental burdens. x Rep What are your views in relation to the presidential out look? Senator McD. I do not look upon tbe late elections as in anywise settling th presidential contest of next- year. Republican are, undoubtedly, elated at their success, which is mainly to bu attributed to a revival of s-ctional animosities. With a generous people thtsi feelings can not be.laniog; ahd sooner or later they will react upon those who t-timu-lated them. It Republicans continue in thi belief that they possess the pow r to elect a' president on mare party grounds, they will Dominate) one of their trading politiciansmost likely Sherman or Bl -line but, if they become alarmed, they w ll us sheli-r under tbe supposed popularity of General Grant. In that event the country will bave to undergo fearful tricl, as it will Bave to determine, for the fitst time, whether or n it one man shall be president for life. My belief ia that in such a contest they will h beaten. I think our chances for electiug the next president are better than theirs, no matter woo their candidate may be. Itep Whom do you think the Democrat) sbould nominate? 8nator McD My present opinion is that it wouli be well for our patty, if it couli forget, for the next four or five worths, tba'. it had anything to do with selecting a presidential ticker, ae I think much of the edge ot tba sectional issues will be t ikeu off by thst time. It I very certain that our presidential candidate ought to be at Is to carry Indiana and to unite the Democracy of New York, as these are ths pivotal Bta'es. and uch candidate would be ttronsr all nr.r the -country. It ia not necessary to say tht the uuiuiuBnun oi nr uenoncts would insure tbe vote of Indiana to the Democracy, for there is no int lligent man who doubts it; and I have heard nog od reason given why be could not get the united vote of tbe New York Democracy H is a Itfelona Democrat, and in character and ability, he ts ths equal of any man in our psrty. Rep When and wbsrs do you think our National convention sbould be held? Senator McD. I do not think we sbouH bs in baste to hold our convention; and I am decidedly of the opinion tbat it should be held in the West. I have no chutrts as to the plana; Cincinnati, Chicago. Stint Louts or any other Western city hiving tbe ability to accommodate the people who will be tbere, would suit me.

A Itattllna; Letter On the Fleeting Radical Detective and If la Friend-,. Special CorrespotideDos of th Hentlnel. North Vernoit, Ind , Nov. 27. Inrilguatlon has quickly followed surprise In this community over the flight of Thomas MoGovern, nnder indictment for perjiity, in Jackson county. Your readers will remem ber that McGovcru is the man on wbosn affidavit the arrest of 13 Democratic citt ern ot jeoninvs county was made by United States niaraikl from Iudlanaptilis on tbe Monday b fore tbe Od ober elet ttous of 1878. These citlnns were dranged lo Ind anapolle, and a'tar iodiolment by ths United States grand Jury were put on trial before Judge Oreshaui, where one Innocent man (James H. Wllkets u) was tent to tbe Slates prison. Tbe leading witness against tbe defendant was Thomas McGovern. He was tbe ohtef pet and main relianoe of Ben Harrison, Trueler A Co., to oouvict the de

fendant. And now, when his perjuty bas accomplished all tbat it is possible to accomplish, and be is asked to face trial for perjury before tbe cit;z-ns of his county and his neighbors, he takes refuge in fi'ght However we do not pen this communication as much to fitly characterize McGovern as to inquire oi the people of toe 8tate, through your paper, what opinion but that of the gravest culpability can be entertained ot Harrisen, Neltoo, Trussler and the horde of small fry who abet t id tbe prosecution of tbe , Jennings county citizne. . They werest grest expense in making their defense, being required to a'tend court 60 miles from their home, in a strange city, and for a month, their families unaccustomed to scenes ot arret t, were thrown ict distress and grief over the seizure of their husbands, brothers and fathers by the United States authotities, and all turough the perjured t tory of thia McGovern, nursed and pitted oy the Republican leaders of Indiana. McGovern is now a Seeing felon, and the blood of Wilkerson and the tears of 13 JenDingt county homes are upon Ben Harrison a d his assistants. Tbe great Government ol the United States paid Harrison $l,0O) to persecute honest citizens upin the perjured statement of a well known scoundrel. Tbe only palliation for Harrison that can bs suggested ia that be was imposed upon by the representations of ceitiiu Raiical leaders of Jennings and Jackson counties that McGovern was wortty of belief. Bat Harrison's goad cense and experience should bave warced bitn against credence in the affidavit of a so-called detective, who confessed noon the witness ttmd that be was paid $100 by Platter and Overmyr to plav tbe part he did in the conspiracy cafes. This portion of the State does not ask judgment against Platter and Overmeyer, the associates of the peijared McGjvero, for they will tike care of them, but against Harrison, Trussler .t Co , and the Government itself, we do ak the poople to pro nouccd judgment. The night after Judge Carr bad overruled the motion of McGuvern's attorney to quash

ths indictment, a conclave of tcui birds seems to have been beld at Nurth Veinon to consider tne state f affairs and the .u 1 ok for McGovern. Fried ey, a Madison patriot, whose party in Jefferson county bad fnrnishtd $100 of tbe $100 paid to McGavern; Dvid Overmyr, who had written McGovern's affidavit for him in a Seymour garret and had paid him tbe $400; John Overmeyer, who, in 18C3 waa a member of a lodge of the Kribts of tbe UclJen Circle, aud to 18i7 cood patriotism as the Republican leader of the House of Representatives, were t recent. While to tbe discredit of the bench be it said, that a judge, wbo bolds the seat, but not the character of a judge, lent tbe l'ght of his judicial advice to tie conclave.
