CHARLE? FRANCIS ADAMS. Homo Words of Counsel and Warning Item a Patriot ?nd Statesman. BOSTON, Juno 30, 1877., In one of ti ? rooms of tho Adams homestead at Gai icy, Mass., hang por traits of two rr-jfidents of the United States. In that roora Charles Francis Adams received the New York ?Sun re porter, p.pd talked for nn hour about the methods by which R. B. Hayes attained the seat once occupied by John Adam? and John Quincy Adams. Impressive as were the surrounding they^ were not so impressive as the way in which Mr. Ad ams gave his views. The quiet dignity with which ho began became intense earnestness as ho spoke of the futid re sulta which a repetition of the Electoral Commission iraud would entail, Both his manner and his words belied thc common imprcaslon that ho is cold and reserved. The 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 ara now ?imply a private citizen," Mr. Adams bogan. "1 have io wish to go before tho public My duties ps President of the Board of TriiHtccs of Harvard College r-'.-|uircd that I should bo in Cambridge and nppeni publicly with Mr. Hayes. But tuc suggestion that because I did meet him in public, and extended to hir.i n civility which I think proper to bo extended to any one who hulda thc oihec which he docs-be cause I did this that I had changed my views as expressed in thu letter to 21r. Tilden, which was published, is wholly luise I huvc not changed those views, nor can I. I did feel nlittlo peculiarly when I thought of meeting Air. Hayes. It ts a hard thing to sny of any man that he beare the stamp of fraud* upon his brow, and, there foro, if Mr. Hayes saw thc letter, he must have been touched by it. "I diu not write it for publication, but only to expr?s? to Mr. Tilden sonic souse of my respect for tho manner in which he hud acted, while tho wrong was heine: dono him. Rut what I thou wrote I still adhere to. Still, Mr. Hayes carno here. Ho is tho neting President-not thc rightful President, but still he holds tho office. A certain ropect is due that cilice ; that is all that my appearance with Mr. Hayes means." "Wero the civilities paid Mr. Hayes by tho authorities extended in thc same spirit?" "Massachusetts ha? always extended civilities to the President. In this case thc State extended such civilities to tho acting President. Sha. did what was right to do, and no moro." "Can Mr. Hayes' trip and tho civility shown him ho taken na an endorsement of hit? or his polioyf" "Tho trip can do him no harm, and no good. Ono fact utanda out prominent nothing can overshadow it; and that is tho mothod by which he received his office. No policy of his cart atone for that." "Then, in your opinion, the attempt at civil service inform will not ofllict tho means by which ho obtained the Pie?i dencv V'r "Not at all. Civil service reform I Wha' is it-a mero mattor bf detail. Insignificant beside thb ono great matter. Policies, reform and such things aro mere sido issues. Important enough in thom eelves, to bo sure. But this matter goes a wey ?own to tho question of our exis tence." The reporter had no further opportu nity, had ho wished to question Mr. Ad ams, for, as he spoke of 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, lt is wonderful that the majority of tho Amer ican people, whose will was thon over ridden, submitted to it so calmly. J am grateful thai ihr:y diu. It is a credit to tho American ? people that there WPS no violence. But, sir,"-and Mr. Adams spoke with impressive solemnity-"it co-~\d never bo so" again. Tho next time Buuo thing chal? happen, there will bo violence, bloodshed, and min. I have always been afraid of that weak clause in tho 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. Whoo I learned that tho matter had been left to tho gen tlemen who acted upon tho Commission, I felt somewhat relieved, because I thought : 'Now the Judges, at least, will ?--i. .Li_Ll_ X_S J_il.l.l mun. a? ?uu <[unuuit au a tau auu muir?a: light. They will try to got at the truth. They will try to learn whom tho people elected to be their President aha Vice President.' Abd it necraed so plain who wero so elected that I felt almost assured of what their decision would be, But what was tho result? Taking an vantage of technicalities, of legal' quibbles, of every1 point that wouUPgivo them' an* op portunity of voting as they, .wished to vote, tho majority declared as it has. Among other ead results of that decision there is this ono: It itas utterly destroyed our faith in tho judiciary ito far as po litical questions which may como before it .?re concerned.' Taney, years ago, chook our .fl?tlr some what when ho reu - dercd decisions- on questions connected with slavery. This latest action has en tirely destroyed that faith. Tho judiciary aro no longer to bo relied upon aa a source of justice in pol?tica! mkttert. "Now this has been done. Something remains to be done, ?nd that is the most important, tho most imperative duty at hand. It must not be allowed to be slighted. Immediate steps must be taken to make tho-rcpctltion or this wrong io pos3LW?r'~?t must not be a party matter. Thope 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 crida. In every way that is possibio this de mand should he made. I.nm very glad that Mr. Pana realices Che importance of tho situation, and that ho is doing what he can to mate 'tho.people realise it. Public sentiment should bo so strong that such measures cannot fail ot Doing tesen as will prevent a repetition. Whatother ? issue can bo BO important ? As I said, should such a crisis occdr again, it will not end peacefully. There will he b?pod fv*?hod, and the destruction bf odrpt-Mcnt form of government. Nothing can bo more certain than thia, and it is marvel lous that such was net.the result Josi winter. It will not do, either, to walt, io- it will not be safe to attempt to make nny changes shortly before a national election, ii- rr.t-.r,!. bc -oai !?<:.?- We cannot feel'safe until it Is. "As to Mr. Hayes, I must say that ? feel a sympathy, for him,. Ho means roll, I think, but he is in a false position, jiaad therefore a tr? io? position.

Ho thal, if ho wa? ousted be cause he was not elected, Mr. Hayes is in tho samo condition ?;xactly. The votes that elected Hayes elected Packard. On tho other hand, if Packard was elected, why was ho 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, ai iherefore his course will he a trying on:. I do not HOP how he can succeed in it. I cannot think it possible to be successful in the face ?if all these dilTculties. , "What I have said to you about the great wrong that In's been done, and the necessity, tue great und urgent necessity, there is that measure? should he taken to prevent its repetition, I have expressed in a letter written to tho Tammany 8oci ety of New York. I received nu invita tion to bo with them on thu Fourth of July, hut that cannot bo ; so ? took the opportunity in replying to their invita tion to gtvo expression to my earnest convictions upon the matter.

It docs soem to mo that tho dangers are HO great and tho rink so tremendous that tho people, and Congress should bc awa kened ; mid I trust that whatever is done will not bo done in any parly spirit. This is something beyond party. It is something upon which our existence may bang. Therefore the whola people and the national Congress ought to give it calm, wise, and judicious consideration. Wo must never again be met by such a cripis." THE INDIAN WAR IN IDAHO. Interesting Account of ita Origin-Tho Cauco -i ita Indian's BEatrcd to the Government-Alarming Heriotmicss of tho Outbreak. Cttrripondtnl ?J (fif. itoir ?wk .Vim. Tho uprising of tho non-treaty Nez Porcca and other wild tribes of Indians in northeastern Idaho, close to tho Ore gon boundary, threatens to grow into a lonsidable war, involving heavy loss of lifo, vast destruction of property, and un usually largo outlayt! of money. Already a pitched battle hos been fought between troops and a band of savages, under Chief Joaophj who is tho leader of the hostiles in this new field of trouble. Tho whites wore defeated, with tho loss ol'ono officer and thirty-two mon killed, ano", siuce tho fight, about three weeks ago, thero have been several engagements, in which tho Indians have shown stubbornness. Over twenty settlors-men, women and chil dren- wore cruelly slaughtered at tho outbreak, and tho "terror oxcitcd by these tragedies spread over a wide region, ex tending to Montana and Washington Territories. Hundreds of families aban dondod their homes and sought places of safety. Somo shut themselves up in block houses, riflo pits wero dug in front of the small towns to keep off the savages, and there was a scarcity of arms that lott the people in a measuro dofonBcleaB. When it is considered that tho country swarmed - with renegado and disaffected Indians well equipped with breach-load ing weapons, and vnarting under what they deemed continued wrongs, tho gen eral ?Anne of imminent danger that pro vailed is not surprising. The movement, thoro was good reason for knowing, was not a temporary outbreak, but- n measure that had hoon matured on tn o ?msis cf agreement between the tribes, and under taken to bo fought to tho bitter end un less the government accedes to demands. General O. O. Howard is in command of the department of Columbia, in which the territory Hes whoro hostilities broke out. He had been in the immediate vi cinity in communication with Josoph and other chiefs, to bring about a peace able settlement of a disputo relative to the Wallowa valloy. Tho Indians had repeatedly declared that they would noyer give up tho tract, and they told Howard so again. Tho latter hinted nt thc viwt'ryf 'force tn phire thom on reserva tions when he actually had only a hand ful of men at bb disposal, and the hos tile! could in a fow daya collect oovernl thousand warriors, thoroughly equipped and anxious for a fight. The General had permitted them to roam around the country upon tho 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, thai ho would never persuade them to givo up their old haunts. The temporizing polioy of tho govern ment is also much to blamo for the pres ent condition of affairs in Idaho. Tho course pursued toward tho Indians has seither neon firm nor consistent, Their reservations wero continually trespassed upon by whites, .who would sell whiuky and otherwise demoralize thom. Hopro lentrtions were made at Washington in ?rder that some change might bo made. The wishes of tho Nez Perces and other bands received no attention at the Do partaient of the Interior, and discontent increased day after day among them. The Rev. Father Meaplto, the chaplain it Fort Boise, was informed a short time ?gp by Howllsh Wampoo, chief of the umkUllas, that they had mado up tbeir ninds that-thoro was nothing to hope from tli?. gc vern tn out, and they would oin Josephen Salmon River. He added that if, the government had attended to Jicif jUat^ooipJaints- in time everything iilgnt hare oeen nmicabiv orran?ot?, nuu i confederated fqree of fully five thousand ?varriors would riot now bo on the war path. Tho main cause of the outbreak, as in timated, ts a dispute over a rich and ex onsive tract of land, known aa Wallowa /alloy, o?. tlA west bank bf Snake River, n union County, Oregon. 1. extends joyond tho boundary line of iuaho, and s m the vicinity of Lewiston. The Ne? foro? have a reservation of 750,000 acres moored to them by .the treaty of 1838, vhich Auther guaranteed the title they ?erovts farmers and stock raisers.

In 1874, tho govern lent authorized a commission composed f citizens of Oregon to proceed to the .lace and appiuiao thc vafuo of the lands educed to civilized uso by thc settlers, nd the improvements upon them, with ' he view of haviog them all removed rom tho valley so as to restore it to tho mli-M '. The commission performed the \ appointed duty. They reported a total if nearly 100 settler*, ?nd nu aggregate raluntion of i ess than $100,000 for their and* and improvements. No action was aken on this report. The settlers re nained, and thc Indians proceeded to jpon threats against those they considered awless intruders. Last year ono of Joseph'* band wan tilled in the valley by a white man, and ifter that it became only a matter of Limo and opportunity for the commence ment of hostilities. Tho ti ihn took thc noient death of this Indian very much Lo heart, and although thc chief dis claimed any Intention of resorting to re taliation, it was well uiidiT.itnod heelier [shed a design of revengo. The commis sion sent lost fall, with General Howard at its head, to arrange nil tho difficulties on thc basis of nu abandonment of all Joseph's claims to thc valley, wa* a fail ure. Thc non-treaty Ncz i'erces -stood ?II their acknowledged right lo tho lamb, insisted on thc retirement of the settlers, und flatly declared they would not go on a reservation. In all this business the government ha* not been properly repre sented by its agents. There has been bad faith toward the Indians. Thc payment of the comparatively small HIIIII men iioi'-d above would have satisfied tho settlers, who would have relinquished the raljcv to tho Indians. Had tho govern ment carried out the design of 187-1, paid tho occupants for their crops and im pro vernen ts, and secured Joseph in thc possession of tho land he rightfully owns, tho present serious trouble would not have taken place. The amount of money already spent in Ibo transportation of troop* to Salmon River and thc further outlays that will be necessary to suppress thc outbreak will bo many times In ex ecs* of $100,000, not to speak of thc wide spread ruin and destruction of farms and settlements and tho heavy loss of lifo, which is irreparable. Tho present war threaten!; to bc of fur Srealer magnitude than that of thc Mo oca in 1873. Captain Juck lind a lim ited field of operations^ Joseph has an almost boundfc** area. Thc Modocs were obliged to hido in tho lava beds and husband their resourco? carefully ; the non-troaty Nez Forces can freely jenam over a vast expar.so, knowing every inch of thu ground, and cnn capture supplies as thoy require them. It was only requi sito to completely surround thc Modocs and force them by hunger to surrender; tho present outbreak in Idaho is entirely different. And, as ha* been remarked, while tho Modocs were buta handful and hopeless of aid, these savages are already numerous mid have a success over a bod) of regular troops and citizen*. They are, besides, animated with a religious or superstitious iden that they havo the power to rid their country on this occa sion once and forever of palo faces, and in military circles it is believed that un less tho hostiles arc speedily vanquished, ?very day will bring to them, over their broad field of war, allies and warriors from other tribes, and all the renegndc lavages will hasten to join them.
