CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.
Some Words of Counsel and Warning
from a Patriot and Statesman.
Boston, June 30,1877.;
In one of the rooms of the Adams
homestead at Quincy, Mass., hang por?
traits of two Presidents of the United
States. In that room Charles Francis
Adams received the New York Sun re?
porter, and talked for an hour about the
methods by. which R. B. Hayes attained
the seat once occupied by John Adams
and John Quincy Adams. Impressive as
were the surroundings, they were not iso
impressive as the way in which Mr. Ad?
ams gave his views. The quiet dignity
with which he began became intense
earnestness as he spoke of the fatal re?
sults which a repetition of the Electoral
Commission fraud would, entail. Both
his manner and his'words belied the
common impression that he is cold and
reserved.; Tire-scorn with which he re?
ferred to the course of the three Repub?
lican Judges on that commission was
withering. Equally noticeable was his
anxiety that measures be taken immedi?
ately to make the repetition of the crime
impossible.
I am now;simply a. private citizen,"
Mr. Adams began. "I have no wish to
fo before the public My duties as
resident of the Board of Trustees of
Harvard College required that I should
bo in Cambridge and appear publicly
with Mr. Hayes. But the suggestion
that because I did meet him in public,
and extended to him a civility which I
think proper to be extended to any one
who holds the office which he does?be?
cause I did this that I had changed my
views as expressed in the letter to Mr.
Tilden, which was published, is wholly
false., I have not changed those views,
nor can I. I did feel a little, peculiarly
when I thought of meeting Mr. Hayes.
It is a hard thing to say of any man that
he bears the stamp of fraud upon his
brow, and, therefore, if Mr.' Hayes saw
the letter, he must have been touched by
y it. ~I did not write it for publication,
but only to express to Mr.. Tilden some
sense of my respect for the manner in
which he had acted, while the wrong was
being done him. But what I then wrote
I stiR adhere to. Still, Mr. Hayes came
v here. He is the acting President?not
the rightful President, but still he holds
the office. A certain respect is due that
office; that is all that my appearance
with Mr. Hayes means."
"Were the dvilitiea paid Mr. Hayes
by the authorities extended in the same
spirit?"
"Massachusetts has always extended
civilities to" the President.. In this case
the State.extended such civilities to the
acting President She* did what was
right to do, and no more.''"
*{Cari Mr. Hayes' trip and the civility
shown hip be taken as an endorsement
of.Mm or his policy?"
"The trip can do him no" harm: and no
good. One fact stands out prominent
nothing can overshadow it; and that is
the method by which he received his
office.. No policy of his can atone for
that"
"Then, in your opinion, the attempt at
ciyii'service refoim will not ofBet the
means by which he obtained the Presi?
dency?"
"Not at all. Civil service reform:!
What is it?a mere matter of detail.
Insignificant beside this one great matter.
Policies, reform and such, things are mere
side issues. Important enough in them?
selves, to be sure. Bat this matter goes
a way down to the question of our exis?
tence."
Thei reporter. had no further opportu?
nity, had he wished to question Mr. Ad?
ams, for, as he spoke or the great fraud
and its consequences, he seemed almost
unmindful of time and fatigue.
.$That was a great crisis through which
the country passed last winter. It is
wondsrful that the majority of the Amer?
ican people, whose will was then, over?
ridden, submitted to it so calmly. I am
grateful that they. did. It is a credit to
the American - people that there was no
violence. Bet, air,"??nd Mr. Adams
spoke with impressive solemnity?"it
could never be so again. The next time
such a thin? ? shall .happen, there wi*l be
violence, bloodshed, and ruin. I have
always been afraid of that weak clause
in the Constitution which made such a
crisis possible. I was very apprehensive
early last winter when I saw that those
who had been lawfully elected were to
meet with opposition. When I learned
that .the matter had been left to the gen?
tlemen who acted upon the Commission,
I felt somewhat relieved, because I
thought: 'Now the Jud ges, at least, will
look at this question in a mir and judicial
light. They will try to get at the truth.
Tney will try to learn whom the people
elected to be their President and Vic?
President.* And it seemed so plain who
were so elected that I felt almost assured
of what their decision would bev But
what was the result?. Taking advantage
of technicalities, of legal'quibbles, of!
every point that wouidgivethem' an op
-portunity of voting as they wished to
?- vote, the majority declared; as it bas.
Among other sad results of that decision
there is this one: It has utterly destroyed
our faith in ^fche-judiciary so far as po?
litical questions which may come before
it are concerned. Taney, years ago,
shook our faith somewhat" when he ren
' dered decisions on questions connected
with slavery. This latest action has en?
tirely destroyed that faith. The judiciary
are no longer to be relied upon as a
source of justice in political matters.
"Now tins has been done. Something
remains to be done, and that is the most
important, the most imperative duty at
hand. It muse not be allowed to be
slighted. Immediate steps must be taken
to makejbe^repeti?on of this wrong im
pos^bieTifc must not be a party matter.
'-HEnope the people of all parties will join
in making this demand. Congress ought,
the very first thing, to begin the conside?
ration of a constitutional method of pre?
venting the repetition of such a crisis.
In every way. that is possible this de?
mand should be made. I am very .glad
- that Mr. Dana realizes the importance of I
the situation, and that be is doing what
he can to pake the people realize it.'
Public sentiment should be so strong that
such measures cannot fail of being taken
as will "prevent a repetition. Whatother
issue can be so important ? As I said,
should such a crisis occur again, it will
not end peacefully. There will be blood?
shed, and the destruction of our present
\ form of government. Nothing can be
more certain than this, and it is marvel?
lous that such was not the result last
winter. It will not do, either, to wait,
or it will not be safe to attempt to make ]
foy changes shortly before a national
action. It must be done now. We
mot feel safe until it is.
'As to Mr. Hayes, I must say that I
\ a sympathy for him. He means
\l think, but he is in a false position,
^erefore a trying position. His is
a411 be the most difficult course that
^n. president has ever had, a great deal
^jiifficult than either of those two
fo^T'T^iag to the portraits of his
r Hngh./ Fitiier-,rand they had it
(Jtr/o I looketfr^Hayes looks
^ffi. at Cambridge, andHT^tt&^ather
OQ.t&Vf worn. The difficulties are noV
??*^^08e which result from the methods
JJ^nj&foade him President, but are also
ratose vfcich he has made since taking his
--^hat' has he done T "He has di?
vided, gprt Up his own party. There is.
. proof enoigh of that. See' what the
r<epubIicaAs in Iowa have done. There
nr?S!??e ?ti?n t?afc makes no secret of
tolicf^0* 2^en Wna* ^them/;
done. There was a time when
ditinn ^w^ry. a3 a result of theircon^J
ber?fif' Southern negroes should]
g looked after b^^Atiministration;1
w ? w a political^cessity for the
J:eep;that negro
fxTHayes has lost the party
that. Had he "been as shrewd and clear?
headed a politician as Blaine or Morton,
he never would have done that. I am
grateful?so is every good citizen?that
peace and order have come to the South.
But that was the policy of the Democrat?
ic party, and the policy which it would
have carried out had it not been pre?
vented by the event which put it in Mr.
Hayes' power to do so. He who had no
right to do it has done right. But he
will secure no support from the Demo?
cratic party for having done this, and it
has divided his own..
"Then there is another difficulty which
he is under. It arises from the false po?
sition he took upon himself when he
throw Packard overboard in Louisiana.
In either way in which it is looked at, he
is in a false position. He threw Packard
and his party overboard as a bad lot.
Now, if Mr. Packard was not elected,
Mr. Hayes was not. There can be no de?
nying this. So that, if he was ousted be?
cause he was not elected, Mr. Hayes is in
the same condition exactly. The votes
that elected Hayes elected Packard. On
the other hand, if Packard was elected,
why was he forced to give up his seat as
Governor of Louisiana? It will be seen
that in either case Mr. Hayes is in a false
position, and therefore his course will be
a trying one. I do not see how he can
! succeed in it I cannot think it possible
to be successful in the face of all these
difficulties.
"WhatT have said to you about the
great wrong that has been done, and the
necessity, the great and urgent necessity,
there is that measures should be taken to
prevent its repetition, I have expressed
in a letter written to the Tarn many Soci?
ety of New York. I received an invita?
tion to be with them on the Fourth of
July, but that cannot;be; so . I took the
opportunity"in replying to their invita?
tion to give expression to my earnest
convictions upen the matter. I feel so
much solicitude about it, and so desirous
that a safeguard shall be obtained, that I
was pleased to take this opportunity, or
any opportunity, to urge that it be done.
It does seem to me that the. dangers are
so great and the risk so tremendous that
the people and Congress should be awa?
kened ; and I trust that whatever is done
will not be done in any party spirit.
'This is something beyond party. It is
I something upon which our existence may
hang. Therefore the whole people and
the national Congress ought to give it
calm, wise, and judicious consideration.
We must never again be met by such a
crisis."
THE INDIAN WAE IN IDAHO.
Interesting Account of its Origin?The
Cause of the Indian's Hatred to the
Government?Alarming Seriousness
of the Outbreak.
Correspondent of the New York Sun.
The uprising of the non-treaty Nez
Perces and other wild tribes of Indians
in northeastern Idaho, close to the Ore
I gon boundary, threatens to grow into a
! formidable war, involving heavy loss of
life, vast destruction of property, and un?
usually large outlays of money. Already
a pitched battle has been fought between
: troops and a band of savages, under Chief
1 Joseph, who is the leader of the hostiles
I in this new field of trouble. The whites
were defeated, with the loss of one officer
and thirty-two men killed, and since the
tight, about three weeks ago, there have
been several engagements, in which the
! Indians have shown stubbornness. Over
twenty settlers?men, women and chil?
dren?were cruelly slaughtered at the
outbreak, and the terror excited by these
tragedies spread over a wide region, ex?
tending to Montana and Washington
Territories. Hundreds of families aban
donded their homes and sought places of
safety. Some shut themselves up in
block houses, rifle pits were dug in front
of the small towns to keep off the savages,
and there was a scarcity of arms that left
the people in a measure defenseless.
When it is considered that the country
j swarmed with renegade and disaffected
Indians well equipped with breach-load?
ing weapons, and smarting under what
they deemed continned wrongs, the gen
] era! sense of imminent; danger that pre
' vailed is not surprising. The movement,
there was good reason for knowing, was
j not a temporary outbreak, but a measure
that had been matured on the basis of
reemeut between the tribes, and uuder
cen to be fought to the bitter end un?
less the government accedes to demands.
General 0.0. Howard is in command
I of the department of Columbia, in which
' the territory lies where hostilities broke,
out. He had been in the immediate vi?
cinity in communication with Joseph
! and other chiefs, to bring about a peace
i able settlement of a dispute relative to
the Wallows valley. The Indians had
I repeatedly declared that they would
! never give up the tract, and they told
I Howard so again. The latter hinted at
I the use of-force tc place them on reserva
i tions when he actually had only a hand?
ful of men at his disposal, and the hos?
tiles could in a few days collect several
[thousand warriors, thoroughly equipped
and anxious for a fight. The General
had permitted them to roam around the
country upon the pretext of gathering
up stock, when in fact they were prepar?
ing to take the warpath. Joseph ana his'
counsellors smiled at Howard's speeches,
saying, however, that he would never
persuade them to give up their old haunts.
The temporizing policy of the govern?
ment is also much to blame for the pres?
ent condition of affairs in Idaho. The
course pursued toward the Indians has
neither been firm nor consistent. Their
reservations were continually trespassed
upon by whites, who would sell whisky
j and otherwise demoralize them. Repre?
sentations were made at Washington in
j order that some change might be made.
The wishes of the Nez Perces and other
bauds received no attention at the De?
partment of the Interior, and discontent
increased day after day among them.
The Rev. Father Mesplic, the chaplain
! at Fort Boise, was informed a short time
i ago by Howlish Wampoo, chief of the
! TJmatiilas, that they had made up their
minds that - there was nothing to hope
from the government, and they would"
[join Joseph on Salmon River. He added
that if the government had attended to
their justcomplaints in time everything
might have been amicably arranged, and
a confederated force of fully five thousand
warriors would not now be on the war?
path.
The main cause of the outbreak, as in?
timated, is a dispute over a rich and ex?
tensive tract of land, known as Wallowa
I valley, bh the west bank of Snake JBiver,
in Union County, Oregon. It extends
beyond the boundary line of Idaho, and
is in the vicinity of Lewiston. The Nez
I Perces have a reservation of 750,000 acres
[secured to them by the treaty of 1863,
which further guaranteed the title they
acquired in 1855 to the land. A portion
of the tribe (2,800 souls) are settled and
partlyAawhsed, some of them being pros?
perous farmers and stock raisers. The
other half, under Joseph, are nomads,
and 'have nerjer entered into any treaty
withHhe United States for the surrender
of their ? aims to the soil. They were
not parties to the agreement of 1863, and
refuse tobe bound by its terms. For
many years subsequent they held on and
hunted over the Wallowa valley, no one
their title, which, it was ad

of horses owned by Joseph's band, be?
came every day a source of greater trou?
ble, and those who watched affairs there
were not much surprised when the recent
outbreak occurred. In 1874, the govern?
ment authorized a commission composed
of citizens of Oregon to proceed to the
place and appraise the value of the lands
reduced to civilized use by the settlers,
and the improvements upon them, with
the view of having them all removed
from the valley so as to restore it to the
Indiaus. The commission performed the
appointed duty. They reported a total
of" nearly 100 settlers, and an aggregate
valuation of less than $100,000 for their
lands and improvements. No action was
taken on this report. The settlers re?
mained, and the Indians proceeded to
open threats against those they considered
lawless intruders.
Last year one of Joseph's band was
killed in the valley by a white man, and
after that it became only a matter of
time and opportunity for the commence?
ment of hostilities. The tribe took the
violent death of this Indian very much
to heart, and' although the chief dis?
claimed any intention of resorting to re?
taliation, it was well understood he cher?
ished a design of revenge. The commis?
sion Bent last fall, with General Howard
at its head, to arrange all the difficulties
on the basis of an abandonment of all
Joseph's claims to the valley, was a fail?
ure. The non-treaty Nez Perces stood
on their acknowledged right to the lands,
insisted on the retirement of the settlers,
and flatly declared they would not go on
a reservation. In all this business the
government has not been properly repre?
sented by its agents. There has been bad
faith toward the Indians. The payment
of the comparatively small sum men?
tioned above would have satisfied the
I settlers, who would have relinquished the
j'valley to. the Indians. Had the govern?
ment carried out the design of 1874, paid
the occupants for their crops and im?
provements, and secured Joseph in the
possessio*: of the land he rightfully owns,
the present serious trouble would uot
have taken place. The amount of money
already spent in the transportation of
troops to Salmon River and the further
outlays that will be necessary to suppress
the outbreak will be many times in ex?
cess of $100,000, not to speak of the wide?
spread ruin and destruction of farms and
settlements and the heavy loss of life,
which is irreparable.
The present war threatens to be of far
Greater magnitude than that of the Mo?
oes in 1873. Captain Jack had a lim?
ited field of operations^ Joseph has an
almost boundless area. The Modocs
were obliged to hide in the lava beds and
husband their resources carefully; the
non-treaty Nez Perces can freely jpam
over a vast expanse, knowing every inch
of the ground, and can capture supplies
I as they require them. It was only requi
! site to completely surround the Modocs
and force them by hunger to surrender;
the present outbreak in Idaho is entirely
different. And, as has been remarked,
while the Modocs were but a handful and
hopeless of aid, these savages are already
numerous and have a success over a body
of regular troops and citizens. They are,
besides, animated with a religious or
superstitious idea that they have the
power to rid their country on this occa?
sion once and forever of pale faces, and
in military circles it is believed that un?
less the hostiles are speedily vanquished,
every day will bring to them, over their
broad field of war, allies and warriors
I from other tribes, and all the renegade
[savages will hasten to join them.

that there is a vast difference, and that
where our race assimilates with Ameri?

recently built by English capitalists,
turns, out to be a great success. There
is a regular traffic, and a rush for the
cars at the stations. The nimble natives
are particularly expert at getting inside
the cars. The Chinese themselves have
now undertaken a line to run from YVoo

are not indisposed' to advance the funds
on an enterprise wbich promises to pay.
The railway having thus become incor?

and American engineers, contractors and
builders will be having something to do
with the vast interior of the Chinese
