tliat llu.i,,i. p.oposlng to take ehargoor j
the Iniilans iu tic-lion tunl relisvo tho !
War Department from their further
control and support. These Navajo Indian-
had been captured by our milita
ry forces several years ago, and removed
from their native region In we.-tern Xew
Mccico, to the en-tern side of that Ter
ritory, and there located upon Urn Mos
que l'ciloiido icscrvathm, on the I 'ecus
river. At this latter place they had
been -implied with food and clothing
by the Var Department, anil had been
kept under lontrol by troopi statloucd
ttt the place.
The cost of the War Department iu
l'lllltllM Him with Indians In I bill was
I j!),(iui),()Ul), and In 1MB, was over $ai,.
nnii. mill, nnd this cxiien-e for the control
'and support of the Xaviijo Indians, had
1 con-tlttiled a part of that expenditure,
till- thought the proportion to turn
the.-e lntliaui over in uio civil uuiiiori
ties, dlii' Indian Department,) was a
eooil one. a- they could bo fed much
cheaper in that way.

had been removed to tho Ilo-quo ltedon-

While theio Indians hail been upon tho
re.-ervation, the War Department had
fed them through tho Comml-sary Un
real!, and the actual expense of reeding
and looking after them, had been
twelve to lllteeu hundred thou-and dol
lars per annum, be.-ldes what had been
raised out or the ground.
Mr. .SUKUMAX submitted some re
marks against tho further or permanent

When it was ilrst proved that theso
IiulIaiH should he hunted upon thol'ecos
i vit, on tins reservation, wi) nail In
liiariic or Indian airalrn In tho Territory
or Now Mexico u very competent anil
reliable olllccr, nnd ho mado to tho In
terlor Department elaborate anil com
pleto reports upon this wholosuhjeet. In
which ho rorctohl exactly what lias
taken place, pointed out all tho conse
quences or the policy adopted, and en
tered, as It was. his duty to do, a viper
ous protest against Its adoption. Thcso
documents were accessible to Congress,
because they were tiled in tho public
Department having charsoorour Indian
alliiirs. His opinions and his advice
were disregarded ; tho views of tho
military commander nnd or thosu who
thought with him prevailed! these In
ilium were removed to the Hosquo ito
dondo reservation, and they have been
kept thcro from that time to this under
the policy which was adopted.
During tho last year, assuming that
these Indians nuinherslx thousand, ns
stated in the proposed amendment, tho
Government of tho United States has
paid for the support of each Indian, in
eluding squaws and children, twentv
dollars n month. That is tho burdeii
which has been charged upon tho Treas
ury, aim which is now cliarged uponit
by tho existing system.
H.V tho wav. I deslro to .state tlinl. tli!
faithful and intelligent olllccr who made
theso reports to us, who entered this
protest of which I have spoken, was re
moved from hlsolllcn In i-onnpniipnon nf
his objection to this scheme of military
ui.iiiui;i:iiii:m. was, wiiuoui notice,
tinned but of oillco, and with his re
ports'beforous wo agreed to tlienppoint
liient of n successor who would enn-
lorm to this new, expensive, and out
rageous scheme which was established.
My voice was against it at the time ;
but I was overruled. Tho Delegate
from the Territory went up in thu or
dinary way to the seat of political power
the executive department, and had this
stubborn and faithful olllccr turned out
of his place in order that tho Treasury
might be plundered; and it isn shame
to the .Senate and to Congressthat, with
thu wholiotruth before them, he was so
removed, and this abuse established In
the administration of tho Government;
Now, sir, it is proposed that tho ad
ministration of this system of charity
for it is such shall bo taken out of tho
hands of the War Department, of tho
military authorities', ami confided to the
Interior Department, to tho Durcatt of
Indian Alliiirs; and wo are told that by
this change our expense in supporting
Hie Indian children and Indian woman
and the Indian men in tho Territory of
Xew Mexico is to drop down from
twenty dollars per month to nine dol
lars ami a third. It is true that this
would bo a very considerable relief to
the Treasury ; i.ut upon an examina
tion of tho tacts it will bo seen, nothing
can he more certain than, that if you
continue these Indians where thy nro
now located you must continuo to feed
them and to support them; ami the
simple question proposed tons by tho
pending amendment is whether wo
shall charge them upon tho Treasury in
the future at thu rate of nino nud ono
third dollars per month, if indeed that
be found sulHcient for tile purpose It
has heretiifore required twenty dollars'
per month, and possibly if wo appropri
ate tho nino anil one-third dollars per
month now. wo 'shall Uo called upon for
the rest of the amount required in some
future deficiency bill. Hero is a drain
of $l,600,U0O peranum on (ho Treasury
at present for six thousand wretched
fugitive Indians ; and tho utmost of
remedy that is proposed to us is that wo
bhall by tho present appropriation re
duce tho amount to a littio less than ono
half of what it is at present, with tho
imminent peril impending over us that
in some future deficiency bill wo shall
have to make n further appropriation.
Xow, sir, what is the character of the
country whero theso Indians nro loca
ted'.' It is notailaptcd to their habits,
it is not adapted to their nature. It is
a country requiring great caro iu tho
cultivation or tho earth in order to pro
duce supplies. It isa ploco whero irriga
tion is necessary, whero public works
are necessary, where industry is neces
sary, in order that human beings shall
subsist at all. I confess that I am not
at all ciiarmeu with tins men or re-
tho amount which wo are to
contribute in this way hereafter. I
would like to cut up this policy entirely.

That was the worst that could bo ex

lam willing to vote a moderate sum
of money for tho purpose of sending
theso Indians back and permitting
tlicm to locate themselves whero they
ile.-lrnto be, and extending such protec
tion to tlio border as is niccsrary. Moro
than tills I am unwilling to give. Hut,
as a matter of course, when you with
draw tlio troops that now gparti tne.su
prisoners or war, as they are amusingly
enough called, when you withdrnwyour
military control froin them they will
commence going back to their own
country. They are men or the lnoiiti-
tains; they havo been accustomed ft I
moimiaiii ine ; iney uavo niiuiiiiiiciiis
to their own section, and when, under
this appropriation, you withdraw mili
tary control irom tnem aim turn mem
over to tho civil authorities, tho result
will bo that many of them will tleo from
this reservation and go back to tho
country which they Inhabited before. I
will not vote one dollar ol money to
eifntinuo this location of Indians upon
tlio Pecos river. If sonio proposition

L'pon tho conclu-ton or Mr. Huckn
lew's remarks, Mr." Sherman ollered a
substitute for tlio amendment as fol
lows: . , ,,

At tho evening session of tlio same
day the debate was resumed and was
participated in by Messrs. Doollttle,
Sherman, Williams, Fowler and others.
Mr. CONXKSS. I can hnrdlv trust
myself to say anything on this subject.
I am so thoroughly and entirely con
vinced that thcro Is a system so stupen
dous in its nature, In Its fraud, being
carried on against tlio Oovcrninent in
Now Mexjco, nnd I nm so full of infor
mation on the subject from n hundred
reliable sources, that I can scarce trust
myself to utter n word on tho subject.
Tho campaign was mado against thu

Carlcton, under tlio immediate com
mand of Kit Carson, a campaign almost
utterly ncedles, nnd in its results bene

General Curleton vent down thero with
about three thousand troops from Cali
fornia. Ho had ids commission from
tlio Governor of California. His three
thousand troops were as splendid men
as ever stepped ; they were not enlisted
from tho unemployed people of tho
country. They were commanded by
subaltern olllcers who were no ordinary
men, 'but who left their profitable busi
ness, sumo of them avocations yielding
live to ten and twenty thousand dollars
annually, to taken captain's commission,
with tho expectation ot meeting the foe
of their country in tho field. They were
marched down to sow Mexlronnd kept
there for three or rour years, and they
have nearly nil testified against the
gro-s corruption, the sacrllieo of
tho public interests, and tho almost uni
versal piuuiiertnat, nas neon tnu rule in
that Territory. Their word is as good
ns the word of any man on earth. I
have a letter in my hand, received to
nlL'ht by this day's mail, from a Indv.
and you would blti-h if I should rend a
paragraph from it touching this com
mander. I handed It to two or three
Senators n row hours since the Senator

read It a letter from a responsible
man; but I cannot .read extracts
rrom letters here. 1 have statetl be
fore this that I have mado honest ef
forts to stop theso swlndllngs, but have,
failed, utterly failed. If. however, f

Mr. Sherman's amendment to tho
amendment was then agreed to. Tlio
question men arose upon uio amend

Mr. BUCK ALE W. I desire to read
rrom tifo report or the Commissioner or
Indian Affairs, dated October 31, 18C.5,
a statement of tlio general question with
regard to these Indians, llo said then:
' "In regard to the NavnJoes, now es
