The Troabl sima lted IHea.
Washington, D. C., November 30. —There is good authority for saying that the President has now tendered the position of Commissioner of Indiau Aflairs to ex-Cong'ressman Wm. H. Upaon, of Ohio.
The avalancue of protests against the internal revenue consolidations continue, and the Commissioners as well as the President are in daily receipt of telegrams and letters and personal applications for the reconsideration of the plan. Thus far only one change has been ma ie in the programme, that being in Indiana, where General Frank White, of the Terre Haute District, has been reinstated. The original plan consolidated the Districts, of LaFayette, Terre H^uteand Indianapolis, retaining Collector B»gg«, and involving th^ going out of Collectors Simpson, at LaFayette, and White, at Terre Baute. This has been so far altered as to require the consolidation of the Terre Haute District aud the Evansville District, and General White is retained while Veatch is relieved. Mr. Baggs remains us collector of the consolidated District of LaFayette and Indianapolis.
The President signed the commissions of Josiah Bobbins, pos'master at Niles, Ohio, and William Richardson postmaster at Chippewa Falls, Wis coinsin.
Information is received here from Rio Grande to the effect that the troubles along that river growing out of the cattle raids by the Mexicans are as bad as ever. The Mexican raiders have a contract to deliver 18 000 head of cattle at Monterey, and they expect to steal them from Texas. It has also been ascertained that one great difficulty under which the Mexican Government labors is, that in seuding soldiers to the frontier to prevent cattle raids, they often desert aud become cattle thieves themselves, thus adding to the number of depredators instead of decreasiug them. The cattle thus stolen are shipped, after being run into Mexico, Cortina himself having been detected some time ago in shipping cattle from Belgrade, a small town on the south bank of 'he. Rio Grande, for Cuba, such cattle bearing-the marks of Texas owners. It is also known that these cattle thieves are engaged to a great extent in smuggling goods into
Texas, and on the return tri^s curry dtoves of cattle with em. A ft meeting of the .binet to-day, it
WAO
decided that from and after to
morrow office hours, in the several executive departments, shall be from nine A. M. to four P. aud orders were issued by the heads of the vari ous departments, this afternoon, to that effect.
The following is a correct list of contests for seats in the House of Representatives: Alabama, Bombery vs. Harrelsou Florida, Fihley vs. Walls Illinois, La noinevs. Farwell Louisiana, Spencer vs. Morey, Breut, vs. Darrali Massachusetts, Abbott vs. Frost Minnesota, Cox vs. Strait New York, wrv vs. Norton South Carolina, Lee vs. Ra-irey, Butts vs. Lackey Virginia, Plate vs. Good Idaho Ty„ Tern vs. Bennett, Utah Ty., Baskin vs. Carmon.
It is an entire mistake to suppose that the proposed transfer of the Indian Bureau necessarily means a dedarture from the peace policy. That policy, which is the dictate alike of wisdom, justice and humanity, which has been adopted by the present executive, is not likely to be abandoned by any ot his successors, unless under the iufluence of new surroundings. Military management means simply more economical, just, uniform and consistent execution of the executive will: It means permanence in the mode of dealing with Indians through the agency of life tenure officers, who have spent the most of their lives among Indians, who know their character and wants and who have every possible motive for dealing with tbem wisely and ustly. It meaus to do away with constant fluctuation of "policy," continual disturbance of preexisting arrangements and disregard of treaties, or promises which have led the Indians to an almost total disbelief in the faith of the Government. The mil tary management means peace and security, giving eyen a greater opportunity for the labors of Christian missionaries to civilize and instruct the savage tribes. Let these worthy philanthropists be believed from the responsibili'y and coutamiuation of more worldly matters, and their infiueuce for good certainly cannot be diminihed.
Isaac D, Gibson, Indian agent for theOsages, has tendered his resignation through the Executive Committee of Friends, and they have accepted it. in a letter expressive of their high appreciation for his integrity and devotion to the service.

their reservations, and then turn them over to the army when they leave their reservations, or commit acts of hostility, has proved, as might have been expected, a most efficient mode of producing war. The officers of the army are compelled to stand idly by, powerless for good, while their promises to the Indians made at the termination of the previous hostilities, are being violated, and dictates of wisdom, justice, and even common honesty, disregarded in the duly treatment of the helpless savage who has no possible meaus of redress, but escape from a reservation where his life is made intolerable. Then the aropy is called on to pursue the Indians, force them back on their reservations, and punish them for disobedience. Thus a war is inaugurated, which could not have happened if the Indians had been under military control.

St. Louis, Nov. 30.—The Republican's Kansas City special says Advices from Denver report that troops have been ordered from Fort Lyon and Fort Union to the vicinity of Cimmanon, New Mexico, where the Apache Indians had revolted some ten days since. It appears that one of the Apache chiefs refused to take the rations offered by the Government agent, and after some words the Indi tn drew a revolver and shot the agent through tbe bead. Tbe affair caused great excitement, and after the Indian had been placed in irons, the rest of tbe tribe made a general disturbance.
