A Fitting Reply to General Joel Palmer. Yaq0tna Bat, Feb. 13, 1873. Editor Democrat : - : After reading a lengthy communica tion in the Corvallis Gazette of Jan. 19th, signed Joel Palmer, as a citizen of Ya quina Bay, I deem it my duty to reply to a few points in that communication, not that I wish to enter into a newspaper fight with him, but merely to lay the plain simple facts before the public, that the white citizens may have a hearing as well as Mr. Palmer and the Indians. Mr. Palmer says the question' is: "what is the cause of this excitement ? Has it any real foundation ? Has there been anying npr ea thejndiangjor their Agent to warrant this excitement 7 He then goes on and tries to show that the, late Indian scare was gotten up by designing persons, . without cause or provocation, and claims that all is right on the part of poor Lo and himself. About five months ago I was informed by an intelligent Indian, from the Siletz Reservation- that the Indians were all dancing, and expected by their dancing to bring back their dead warriors ; then they would wipe out the; whites, and take their land. This, and similar threats, have been made by intelligent Indians, and not by foolish old squaws, as Palmer would . have you believe. These threats, as simple and erroneous as they appeared to be, led us to believe, knowing as we did the superstitious be lief of the Indians, and the power and influence it has over them, that at least no good could arise from it, and it might lead to harm if carried to extremes. Following this was the burning of Mr! Sawtell's house, which we are almost compelled to believe was done by the Indians, until we have proof to the con trary, there being already positive proof, from a reliable source, that the Indians threatened to burn it, and the threats, followed by the burning on the same night. Inthe face of all this Mr. Palmer has the hardihood ay there were no signs of .hostile intentions among the Indians. Why don't Mr. Palmer ferret out this matter? Why don't he listen to the evidence of reliable white people, instead of taking the statement of the Indian as positive proof that he did net do it. He says Mr. Sawtell lost nothing by the burning of his house . Let that be as it may; but it is poor consolation for those of us that have property here that is not insured, if the Indians are allowed to make threats of like manner, and carry them into execution, almost in the face of the Agent, without scarce ly a passing notice from.him. In speak ing ot the pow-wowthey had with the Indians on the Siletz, Palmer says : " I regret that a reporter was not present, to have taken down the speeches of the chiefs, upon that occasion." Now, sup pose there had been a reporter present, and reported their speeches, do you sup pose we would have been any wiper on the subject of the supposed difficulties ? I think not. It they had deep laid plans of mnrder and rapine on foot, and foiled by the prompt and decisive move of the whites, would it not be natural for them to put on a long face, and cry 'good Indian me 1" Mr. Palmer does not seem to think there is the least bit of treachery about the Indians. Those who have had experience among them know better. He says they have been gathering together on the Reserva tion for the purpose ot being Christian ized.' One would think they were mak ing great strides in that respect, to see them painted up in a warlike manner and hear their hideous yells, from eve ning nntil morning, month after month, until they are completelyexhaustcd, and all this under the eyes of the Agent, who professes to be their spiritual advis or. ' In speaking of the establishment of a military post on the Bay, he thinks it would be more requsite for the protec tion of the Indians than the whites. I will agree that this might ultimately be the case, were the Indians allowed to go on committing depredations, and go un punished by the authorities. He says : " At the council referred to, and upon learning from us the impression of our people, they agreed to discontinue this kind of dances for three weeks, at least" So you see, there it is, only a cessation of three weeks. 7 If Mr. Palmer has the power over these Indians that he claims to have, why does he not put a stop to it at once ? In closing his comunication, Mr. Palmer thinks there need be no ap prehension on the part of the whites of outbreaks, if they will extend to the In dians the rights to which they are enti tled. Now the question arises, what are their rights ? Have they a right to steal, burn houses, impose upon white settlers, and insult women ? Or, is it right that they should be kept on their reserva tions, where Government has provided ample means for their sustenance.' were it honestly and judiciously distributed among them I think the latter is right and just towards the Indians, but the Indians and a few whites seem to have the idea that the former is their fight. Now, sir, as long as they hold this klea, and are allowed to carry it . into effect unnoticcJWe will be trouble between them and the whites -I think the G6arnnent made a great mistake in opening up for white settlement a narrow strip of land, situat ed, as this is.between two reservations of thieving Indians where it seems almost impossible to prevent difficulty between them and the whites. For this reason I have always advocated the peaceable re moval of the Indians to a more suitable locality, but to effect this seems to be al most an impossibility, as long as the present party have power. Since their leaders are bitterly opposed to such a measure. Now, Mr. Editor, I will close this communication, having, no doubt, already intruded upon your space.. may eay Somethimg on this subject again. . . A .north .bexdbb. Suppose It Were So Now I . By an ancient act of Parliament, the penalites attached to witchcraft were declared applicable to every woman who by means of cosmetics, false hair, padding, stays, hoops, high-heeled shoes or other feminine devices,1 should se duce or - betray into- matrimony; any member of the opposite sex, and a mar riage contracted under each circumstan ces was declared null and void.' Were soch a. statate in fore nowaday,- there would be little need for Indiana divor ces, and mothers-in-law would become the most transient of life's fleeting ills. But who will dare to say, in view of the old laws and in the face of every day sights on the public streets and public assemblages, that the men who govern thb world have not at least demonstra ted their disposition to get bewitched? " Feminine devices," eh ? Why, we are all after them. A Minority Pkesident. The New York World arrives at the following con clusion, after an analysis of the vote of last November : In order to show that Grant , is a minority President, it cites the facts that over half a million Democrats declined to vote ; five million one hundred thousand of the legal voters of the United States did not en dorse President Grant at the polls, being a majority, active and passive, against him of . one million five hundred thousand ; President Grant carried but one Slate (Vermont) by a majority of the whole number of legal votes; the late election went by default, Grant re ceiving a majority of the electoral vote because there was no candidate in the field upon whom the opposition could unite. - : , . . ..
