. THE INDIAN BUREAU. The Question of Its Transfer to the War Department—The Joint Congressionul Committee Equally Divided on the Subject—Reportof Those Members Favorimg the Proposed Chlnze. : : : WasHINGTON, Jan. 26. The Joint Congressional Committee appointed to consider the advisability of transferrinﬁ the Indian Bureau from the Interior Department to the War Department, yesterday morning voted on the subject, with the following result: Against transfer, Senators Saunders, and Oﬁlesby. and Representatives Stewart and Voorhees—4. In favor of the transfer, Senator McCreery and Representatives Scales, Hooker and Boone—4. After the vote, a controversy arose as to which of the two reports: should be given precedence in the presentation to Congress. @ The opponents of the transfer claim that its advocates, failing to obtain a majority, must consider theirs the = minority report, a 8 an amendment offered to an existing law fails upon a tie vote. Senator Saunders and others favored authorizing the President at his discretion to turn over to the War Department the control of am{fl tribe or tribes that might be in rebellion, or giving trouble, or such tribes as the President might think best at this time, and that he was in favor of the Sioux being transferred at once, with the reservation that such transfer shall not effect the school or farming interests, ete. The report of the four members who favor the ‘transfer has just been completed by Representative Boone, and will be submitted to the House the first opportunity. The principal features of the document are as follows:

The history of our management of Indian affairs and our treatment of the Indians is one of shame and mortification to all right-think-ing and liberal-minded men. A proper solution of the ‘‘lndian problem’ is pressing itself more strongly upen the public attention every year, demanding the immedidte attention of Congress, and cannot, with either safety to the Indians or honor to the Government, be longer deferred. The failure on the part of our Government to discharge its duty to the Indians is pot confined to the last few years. Our wrongful treatment of them is co-equal with our existence, though not to the same extent in the earlier and purer days * as at present. During all the years past complaints have been made of violated pledges, broken promises, ‘and lack of efficient and responsible management. Indeed the system of the management of the Indian affairs we have pursued (if we have had a system at all) hasbeen unequal to the demands of our duty. Nor has it met the expectations of its instigators and advocates, and to such an extent have these: wrongs been multiplied, and to such extent have frauds and peculation crept into the management of Indian affairs, and so glaring and shameful have these frauds become that indignant public opinion will not longer look on with indifference and unconcern, but demands that these matters be looked into, and the wrongs, so far as possible, be righted, and ‘ that a policy be adopted which will conform with the dignity'and character of our Government, and secure at the samie time full and ample justice to a suffering and outraged people. e g : That these wrongs and abuses do now exist, and to a fearful extent, we think no one at all acquainted with the facts will deny. If proof upon this point were wanting or demanded, we have but to~ refer to the stabﬁ' ments of all whio have investigated the ques-. tion, and those familiar with our present management, and . §o~'those who are to-day strenuous advocates of the present vsygb:m, and who ask its continuance, and who ‘seemto believe in its ultimate success.

To go back into the history of this question, it will be found® that our systemm of Indian management has always been, virtually and in effect, the system now in vogue. Even while it was nominally under the War Department, prior to 1849, the system was very much the same as now. We are aware that the general impression is, that before that time a different system prevailed, and . the change in that year, to the Interior Department, was a radical change in the system; but such. is not the case, and while it is true that Superintendents and Agents, being few injnumber, made reports to the War Office, it is also true that neither the Secretary of War nor any officer in’ the War Department had anything to do with the appointment of these officers, nor was the War Office charged with the duty of supervising them, or controlling them in" any manner up to 1834. While, by this act of 1834, the Secretary of War was given a sort of general sugerint,endence of the conduct of Agents and Sub-Agents (appointed by the President), and while by that act thie President was authorized to select military men to discharge the duties of Indian Agents, it is further true that a large majority of the Agents selected were taken from civil life, and much of the same machinexg was employed in the. conduct. of Indian affairs as now.

‘We claim that the Indian management has ever been substantially at least as at the present time. Therefore, whatever failure or wrongs have characterized our management | in the past are justly chargeable to our present system, and whatever of success has attended that management should be 'credited to that system. Year after year largﬁe amounts of money have been expended with a view to civilizing these people, and yet failure is written upon every page of the past history of our .efforts in this direction. The inauguration of the peace policy in 1868 by President Grant, in /the opinion of the undersigned, was a virtual admission that the Indian Bureau was incsépa.ble of the proper conduct of Indian affairs, and was compelled, therefore, to delegate much of its authority to other hands. From the show of progress made in civilizing, educating and Christianizing the Indians, to which your committee had their attention called while among them last fall, there is no room to doubt that we should try some method of dealing with this question different from that now in vogue. The glowingiaccounts of the rapid strides of the Indians in the way of civilized life, and their rapid march to the standard of civilization, are not borne out by facts. Shameful irregnlarities and gross frauds have crelgt into every hranch of the Indian Service. 0 one is found with the hardihood to deny that the history of such frauds is visible on every page of Indian management for the last score or more of years. Indeed, so flagrant are the frauds and so defiant have their perpetrators become, that it appears a notorious fact that a ring exists, .composed of contractors, employes of the bureau and wealthy and influential persons outside, whose object is to swindle and defraud both the Government and the Indians. The opinion entertained hy the undersigned is that these frauds will forever exist, even with the most vigilant, scrupulous honesty which can be brought into the management of the Indian Bureau, because we believe the method or system of that department lis inadegquate to prevent fraud, however honest the head of the office may be, and for the reason that the sgstem of accountability in the departmeant is not close enough to detect corruption. - & A |

We are asked the very %ertinent question whether or not the same abuses and frauds would be practiced if the management should be transferred to the War Department. We think not, for a fair and very plain and obvious reason, to-wit: Whatever else may be safd of our army officers, they are, as a class men of high honor and strict integrity. Thefr training has impressed these high qualit fes ugmn them, and their association requires their constant observance, Every officer in the armK is a check upon every other officer, and such is the system of accountabflity in the army that it is nearly if not quite im, possible for an officer to act dishonestly without belngbdewcted and upon being detected, punishment follows' swiftly and surely. With civil Agents this s not the case. They ltle appointed geneullg as partisans and for a limited time, sustaec at any ftime to re‘moval, paid small salaries, and "can only hope £

to hold their position a few years at the most, and hence have not the same inducements to act honestly and fairly that an army officer has. We do not undertake to say that the War Department has such perfect management that abuses do not oceur in its administration also, but we think it compares favorably with any other department, and that fewer instances of dishonest practices have beenlaid to its charge than to almost any other branch of the public service. 5 : Next to the question of absolute justice to the Indians, comes that of the comparative' cost of the two systems, and we are decidedly of the opinion that a large amount of money can and will be saved, if the transfer be made. If, the committee say, it be true that army officers can tgerform e duties of Indian Agents as faithfully, dll%ently and honestly as civil agents have, and are doing; and if the War Department can purchase as cheaply as the Indian Bureau; and if the means of transportation in the War Department are much superior; and if the systems of Inspection are equai; and if army officers are not so ?tpt to become victims of temptation; and ‘we can secure more faithful and honest administration -through such arm officers, and - thereby avoid some, if not al{, the Indian Wwars—we say, if these, or any number of these, propositions be true, then who can say that we shall not save millions of dollars in our Indian management if this transfer is made, and at the same time secure justice to the . Indians, the lack of which has ‘caused so much troubiei_ . The report concludes: v We believe the interest of the Government and the good of the Indian will be best promoted 3 transferrln%vthe management of Indian affairs to the War Department, leaying it discretionary with the Secretary of Warto appoint civil Agents to those agencies which, in his judgment, the interest of all concerned will be best secured by such Agents, and officers of the army, where the interests of the service require it.

The Radical Theory of the Colored 3 : £ ? vote. S The Secretary of State, by request, has furnished the Teller Committee with an official statement of the number of registered voters in this State, classified according to color. The totals show 77,341 white voters, 78,123 colored voters, and an aggregate of 155,103. This is a much smaller number than the list contained two years ago; but the relative standing of the two classes of voters remain about the same. We sup{mse that Mr. Teller and his Republican colleagues have called for this document in order to fortify, by official confession, the position that Louisiana is necessarily a Regublican’ State. Republican politicians ave no other method than this of computing the chances of an election in the South, or of restimating the politics of a Southern community. Their process is short, easy! and simple. Given the number of colored voters, and you have the number of Republican ballots that ought to appear in the boxes, minus a percentage of votes cast by white people, which, with or without authority, they assume to be from 10 to 50 per cent., according to the necessities of the occasion. These ingenuous gentlemen complain bitterly of the alleged diSposition of the white f)eople in the South to draw a color ine in polities. collecting the whites on one side and driving the blacks to the other. Yet they begin all their investigations with the assumption that the colored man must necessarily.vote the Republican ticket, and if this is found not to be-true, they declare the.factto be eonclusive proof of fraud, violence and intimidation. Colored men are shown tohave voted the Democratic ticket inlarge numbers in many parts of the Southern States. So much the worse for the Democratic party; the negroes miust have been intimidated into voting for candidates to whom they were opposed. A pliant witness comes before the committee and swears that if a negro votes for the Democratic candidate he must be either a fool or a hypocrite, and the genial Mr. Kirkwood plunges into an ecstacy of delighted approbation, and turns red in the face with enthusiasm. Another witness swears that many negroes freely voted the Demoeratic ticket, and the skeptical Mr. Teller simply elevates his official eyebrows, and turns up his official nose in an act of contumelious doubt. - Everything that is sworn to by ignorant negroes and degraded whites is welcomed as the revelation of inspired truth. Everythinﬁ that is sworn to by white men of intelligence and good repute is consigned to the limbo of impossible fact and discrédited assertion. This is the manner in which the Teller Committee and all other Republican committees that have visited the South conduct their supposititious inquiries. 4 Let us admit, however, that they are right. Let us admit that their premises are true, and their inferences correct. Let us admit that in all the troubles that have afflicted certain parts of the South the Republicans have been always right, and the Democrats always wrong. Let us admit that ne%'roes always teil the truth, and that white men always lie. What does it all prove? Simply that the Republican party have inflicted on the country a large class of voters who are so destitute of "Intelligence, so utterly incapable of forming original or independent judgment, that once they have embraced a certain party and a certain party name they will adhere to it forever. There is no escape from this conclusion. It would be true of any community of white men in the Northern States, of whom it should be said that, simply because 'they were white they must be presumed. to belong to this or that party, and to vote this or that ticket. What can such a bod}7 be worth in a countt{, the institutions of which rest on a basis of presumed intelligence among the voters, and in which a public opinion, more or less enlightened, is supposed to be continual-lg at work? Is it not absurd to call that public opinion which, in its nature, is nothing but a blind dnd unreasonable attachment to a particular party—a mere prejudice without any foundation except passion, or feeling, or resentments 3ontinamny. kepg alive by la&nbitl:ious emagogues and unprinciple: ace-

The fact is, that the whole Radical theory of the suffrage, and of the legitimate consequences of the suffrage, Is.a mere burlesque on free institutions and a parodﬁ on the prineiples o%;eh—uine republican government.—XN, O. Pricayune. ‘ ? e G e : : -~ The Windom Plan. Senator Windom submits a resolution looking toward the colpnization of negroes in this country where their

votes will do the most good to the Republican party. Whenever the colored man becomes tired of voting the Republican ticket in one State or Conﬁresaional District, or if he happens to ive in a district or State in which his yote cannot elect the Republican ticket, the ¢ ward of the Nation’ is to be moved over into some section where his vote can be made available. This plan has many points of beauty about it. To be able to so distribute votes as to make them useful is a great political advantage. If Tilden’s majority of a quarter of a million votes had been suitably distributed, the Republican party would haye carried two xS’tates in 1876.— Cincinnati Enquirer. v

- State Banks Not the Alternative. - The defenders of the National Banking system are wont to use as a final argument on its behalf the statement that if we abolish the National Banks (as banks of issue) the old system of State Banks of issue will be revived, and, it is urged, the' National Banks are better than they. We admit that the National Banks of issue, in point of security to the note-holder and uniformiti of notes, are an improvement upon the State Banks of issue; but we say in Eassing we want no banks of issue. The Comptroller af the Currency, in an %laborate argument in favor of the National Banks, contained in his annual report, assumes that the count. must choose between National Batx;ﬂ notes and State Bank notes, and says that the latter 'were :‘‘a grievous tax upon the business and commerce of the country.” He says that the repeal of the National Bank act ‘“will result in the restoration of State systems similar to those which were previously in operation.” The Se¢retary of the Treasury, in his annual report, pleads that the ‘¢ advantages derived to the public from a National system of banks over a State system seem to be full{f demonstrated,” admitting no other alternative. The President, in his talks, has qut the issue in the same manner. The ew York Times and leading Republican organs have urged the same view. This is the harmonious plea of the National Banking system for continued existence—¢‘* We are better than those vicious State Banks.” And they are better; but not because they have more coin behind their circulation than had the old State Banks, for they have far less, but because they have Government credit behind them. In Ama%a Walker’s *““Science of Wealth” it is shown that, for twenty-six years prior to 1860, the banks of the United States had on the average eighteen cents in coin for ¢ne hundred cents of promise. This was the ‘¢‘specie basis’’ under the State Bank system. This basis was just twice as ¢* solid’’ in coin as that of the National Banks. . The latter have a circulation of $322,000,000, and 'have, in coin, and in coin certificates, and in checks payable in coin, only $30,000,000, or one dollar te pay ten with, while even the old State Banks had about one coin dollar with which to redeem a promise to pay five. Among the changes wrought in the financial system of our country since 1860 'is one of (greatest importance.’ Government credit -has been substituted for: coin as the basis of ¢‘the money of the realm.” The Government issued half of the money, and guarantees the other half. The State Bank system is wiped out forever. The next money fight is\pot between National Banks and State“ Banks, but between National Bank isste and Government issue. ' All the Nutiopal Bankers agree that the State Bank“.system was vicious; of course (?) that “unterest will never vote or work to restore the State system. All men who believe that tha right of issue properly inheres in the Government agree that the State system was vicious, and they may be depended on to oppose the restoration of the State system. On the third day of March, 1865, the State Banks were annihilated by law. It was sweepingly enacted that ¢ every National Banking Association, State Bank or State Banking Association shall pay a tax of 10 per centum on the amount of notes of any person, or of any State Bank or State Banking AssoGiation, used for circulation and paid out by them.”” This law cannot be repealed. . : g That was the end of State Banks of issue in this country. They are not the alternative when it is proposed to retire the National Banking system. The currency of the country is now ““in hand,”” and in such a condition that the right of issue, to use the words of Jefferson, can be restored to the Nation, to whom it belongs. That is the one question now in our polities. Shall this be done P—-—(h’ncimzzfi Enquirer. ' o
