Han Franrlsco, Cul. r'ricnJ.s dejoanded f me that, in th e.ven'i f uiy election, I should try to pr cure "or them from the U. S. Gov errua'Mt Nome indemnification for the 1jss--s :iu;y had smtained at the hand.s of the Indians. In a speech which I made at. J ickfOuville, 1 ph-dged myself to do all in lay power for the relief of those people. I stated that their :laiuis fur indemniiication were meritorious and just, anJ referred to the act of Congress which recognized lhat clitracter of claims, and stated that ud:mi ""aer principles of right and justice that lov alty to the GovernuiPut and p''otect;ou of the citizens v. ere recipr-c d obliga tions and duties. I sta'ijd th it the Gov ernment did not hold the Indian Lr.bcs to be foreign nations; but treated the n as their wards and protected theui against any attempts of the citizens to hold them responsible, legally cr other wise, for any wrongs they might perpe trate. In pursuance of this solemn pledge, I did, in a few days after taking my seat in Congress, introi uce a bill to provide for ascertaining the losses sus tained by citizens of Southern Oregon and Northern California by reason of In dian depredations in the yeais 1872-73. The bill was referred to the Committee on Indian affairs, and after much labor I succeeded in obtaining from that com mittee a unanimously favorable repor. On the 13th of February, 187-1, my bill came In-fore the1 House, and was under consideration in' committee of the whole. Mr. Averill a Republic n member from Minnesota, was Chairman of the Com mittee on Iudiau Aifair.s, and a? such, had charge of th's bid, and advocated its passige. The debate is too leng'hy, per haps, for you to publish. Suffice to say, that I occupied all the time the rules of the House allowed in advocating its pas sage. Gen. John Peter Cluer Shank, a long-haired specimen of Republican hu manity from Indiana, antagonized the bill, and uttered charges against Ben Wright and other frontiermcn, as tlie cause jot the Modoc outbreak, and in, his charges quoted many of Meaeham's iien. I got an extension of time to re ply to Shanks, and the debate became warm nnd interesting. I had read to Modoc Indian ' On the contrary, the United St ttes was at peace with the Mo doc Indians in a national sense. So th argument does not apply that, inasmuch that these Indians were a cojjmon ene my, compensation cannot be made for their depredations. What do the stat utes of the United Stites prov.de on this subject Is there ro uiode known to the law under the Constitution by which citizens of the United States shall have a remedy for los:;es which they sus tain and for injuries which they suffer at the hands of Indians in charge of the Government 1 We cannot apply to the , I Modoc Indians the formula of a nation- il . .i ahty, for they are not a nation; we can not pursue them in a court of justice, jt'or there is no process known to law by which they can be reached there; but the statutes of the United States have sub stantially provided a mode of relief, and the provisions of this bill are but a mod ification , of what is provided by the statutes. It is not different in principle. By the act of 1802, the intercourse act- with the Indian tribes, it is expressly provided that when any member of an Indian tribe in amity with the United States, in his own country commits any depredation upon the person or property of any citizen of the United States who may lawfully be in that country, then reparation therefor shall be made by the . Ui-ited States. incorporated in; the intercourse act of of the Southern and. extreme Western members, including Rir.sier, of South Carolinia, and Rapier, of Alabama. . Even th much abused negroes entertained a higher sense of justice and had more ylpa' hy f or the people of the frontier than the Rev. J. A. Garfield. If you desire to pursue this subject or test my accuracy of statement, I refer you to the officially reported debate, Con gressional Record, "Vol. 2, part 2, 1st ses sion 43d Congress, page 1485. J.

Leader On the evening of July 1863 began the movement in the late civil war which was pregnant with result affecting the Union cause and the perma nence of the best and noblest Republic ever established. On that portentous evening Gen. Hancock concentrated his force around the bights of Gettysburg Ceuietry nnd Gulp's Hill. On the morn ing following opened the memorable bat t'e of Gettysburg, with TIanc c's at the head of the stcond corps and command ing the lett centre. .Lee ordered lAing street to take Hancock's iine by a furious itttack on Ceuietry Hill. The second corps was two hours under the concen tr.ited tire of 23'J pieces of artillery which The same principle is i poured out destruction on the iUidon line. This shock v, us sustained without 1834. The guarani ee is there given that j flinching and during the attack Hancock depredations committed by tlie Indians j iu front o his lines stimulating his men shall be compensated by the Govorn-nent by word and action imparting his own of the United States, if compensation, j military bravery and enthusiasm to his cannot be obtained from the Indian tribe.

The courts are closed to them, and except through the remedies- which ('onress may fur nish, our own citizens are defenceless in th-nr property and in their rights. If the humblest citizen of the United States upon foreign soil is at all interfered with in his rights or in his property the whole power of the government the army and tlie navy is marshaled in his defense. And shall it be said that a citizen of the regiment against regiment, man to man' and sword to sword was the culminating effort which resulted in the nu lting away of the shattered Southern forces. Dur ihis clash Hancock vas wounded but the battle won. Had Hancock been less brave, less of a military genius what might have been the result? Vicksburg might not have fallen and the end of the civil war might have been otherwise. Why should not Hancocks devotion fealty t' the Uniou be accepted unques tioned?

Fr.-tcht Bills to be iaraibly paid In Mr. Lowe, a Republican member from Ivans is, and Mr. Luttrell fro. n Califor nia. Near the close of the debate Mr. Garfield participated and spoke as fol iws: Mr. Garfield I should have no ob jection f at all to the. appointment ot a uo. omission, if the eommis3ion and the work it might do would bring any reso lution on which Congress would be usi ified in giving relief. Suppose a com mission should be appointed aud its ex penses paid, and its report made; what will we do with the report? Th se out rages and deprecations were committed by one of two classes of persons; either by pi ivate robbers and murderers, or I y public enemies. If bv private ruunler ers, then who in this House propo: 63 to adopt the principle that Congress shall pay the damages inflicted ? When Buffalo was burned to ashes by the enemy in the war of 1812 with Great Britain, the case was laid before Congress, and that was probably the strongest ever - pp-sented. After a full and able discussion, Con gress considered the laws of war did not sustain a demand for payment for rav ages by the common enemy. I move to strike out the enactins clauss ia the bill Mr. Towne, ot -Kansas, said: I beg the indulgence of the committee of the whole for a few minutes, in order that I may state what the committee on In dian Affairs believe to be the right of public pel :y rid the ground of public I ! e l . ... J .t..;i Here the hammer fell. Mr. Garfield: I move to strike out the enacting clause in 4he bill. The Chairman: That is not debata ble. The question was taken, nnd upon a division there were: Ayes, 85; uay-, 64. Before the result was announced Mr. Nesmith called for tellers. Mr. Garfield and Mr. Averill were ap pointed, and the tellers reported that there were: Ayes, 79; nays, 68. The committee arose and reported to the House, and Mr. Garfield moved that the House agree to the report of the committee. ' , Mr. Nesmith called for the yeas and nays, and there wcro 105 yeas and 85 nays, 09 being a "osent or not voting. Thus as you will observe from the quotations that I have, made from the official report of the debate, Mr. Garfield did, in a cold-blooded aud ruthless man ner, deny justice to the sufferers by the Modoc outbreak. Mr. Garfield was a leader of the House, and chairman of one of its most important committees. He made no argument worthy of name against my bill, and replied to none, but resorted to a mere technicality and by the brute force of numbers cut off the debate, and defeated as just and meritor ious a measure as was ever brought be fore any legislative body. I have never, forgiven him for the act, and I hope that the honest votors ii Oregon will act for process of the courts lien he took c jiu uiand in the south ; roves that hi is above inaugurating any dictatorship. Hancock would not likely be -( "in" the ! hands of h s fiiends" for a third terra as one of our too much honored generals has been. Any one who weighs Han- cock's qualiiicacions and talents in situa tions of difficulty and peril must be con vinced that he is a uiau of great ability. An rap a olio it i of u.iprej aiis-'d mini iiitiat admit the loyalty of Hancock. Otherwise no achievuieut can secure the good opinion of men. All men who have accomplished great and good dee;U should reap the fruit thereof some day. Honor Hancock and trust him as you -lid at Gettysburg. Repubmcaji.
