Our Washington Letter.

Wasuiseton, D. C., Nov. 15, 1878.

Notwithstanding the embarassments and anxieties and harassing disturbance to which the Patter Committee has been sub- jected, and which is the common lot, more or less, {of all Congressional Committees, there is much to be gained and enjoyed (not to say accumulated) by being appointed on such Committee, or in being a favorite rela- tive or particular friend of some member of such Committee. It is a good time,with no expense, especially if one is not a Chairmar. Take, for instance, the visit of the ‘‘Con- gressional Committee on Indian Affairs” to California this summer. A party of 17 (by no means Committee members, all of them. Ladies, correspondents, clerks, guests,” swell the number) a special palace car, special cusine on the rail, special and exclu- sive accommodations on the route, grand reception in the Golden City, delightful ex- cursion to Seal Rocks, grand trip to the Yo- semite, the Geysers, hot springs, public re- ception and grand dinner in San Francisco, a visit to the Chinese Theatre— all travel-

Government, and allin the interest of the ‘* poor, untutored savage.” This is but one of a dozen or two of similar excursions that have been taken for the country’s good in the past few months. No moral is neces- sary. Apropos of Indians and their affairs comes the work Gen. Le Duc has taken in hand. Gen. Le Duc is the Commissioner of Agriculture, and among his benevelent efforts of the last two years are the raising of tea, olives, and bamboo in this country, and the introduction of rooks from England for the destruction of the western grasshop- pers. But his more human and humane idea promises better success than any other. He has induced 70 Indian youths, of both sexes, to enter a Government School at Fortress Munroe, where they are to re- ceive common school education, and be taught agricultural employment and housekeeping, respectively. It is hoped and will marry among themselves, families, and go back to their people civil- ized, industrious and ambitious, and, by their lives and occupations, do more real missionary work than can ever be done

seventy have arrived, and are already placed at school. Recent estimates place the number of full-blooded, self-supporting Indians, who voted at the last Presidential election, at no less than 10,000. The red men of Indian Territory had a unique but respectable exhibit at the Paris Exposition civilization. In the words of another: to be treated exactly like citizens—not like enemies, foreigners, children or Congress ought to compel them to abandon their tribal habits—their tepees, blankets, leggings, mocassins, long hair and laziness —and to live by legitimate work, to enjoy
