made that, while tor ten year* the southern

to hold a preliminary convention of houiIi-

I heard of aome* old copper plate*, and I
tried to get a look at them, «upj noting from
description* in Pickett's history of Ala

old Spanish skidds and piece* of
armor left by DeKoto, in Georgia.
I tried in vain; neither love nor money
could persuade the town chief to permit
unholy hands to touch the sacred vessels,
which are kept buried, and only taken up
by medicine men at the yearly festivals, or
busk*
‘ Why not?” I asked Harjo, the town
chief.
“Only medicine man can dig them up.
He died, and no other rtedicine man has
been selected, and we had no busk this
year. If any other man should see them
ha would die liefore he reached bis home.”
“I’ll risk that."
“Must lie medicine man."
••Then elect tne medicine man.”
He laughed, and the interpreter told tue
it was useless.
“Du these civilised Indians believe such
things and call these medicine men to see
them when sick?" I asked ao intelligent
white doctor one day.
“Yes. I was sent for, and found a medi

over his shoulder, and told the mother the

Editors Constitution: Rumors on the
street have been very current for the last
few days in reference to the consultations
of gentlemen outside of the legislature, who
are not my personal friends, and who, if re
ports are reliable, have had Mr. Garrard in
training as their instrument in a wanton
and unprovoked attack upon me. While
they may not have formally organized
themselves into a committee, I shall desig
nate them as “thecommittee on prompting
and assistance." The resultof their delibe
ration* is seen in your columns over the
name of their instrument.
It is composed of a tissue of misrepresen
tations aud personal abuse, which never
have much weight as argument in favor of
a cause. Mr. Garrard, under tlieir prompt
ings, quotes extracts Iroiu the newspapers,
and the sayings of prominent gentlemen in
Georgia who differed from me politically
during the reconstruction period.
Thai was a period of unprecedented bit
terness, madness and vituperation. It was
just after the war, at a time wheu the people
of the state felt they had not only lost all,
but .hat the terms dictated by the conquer
or were harsti and rigorous. Prominent
politicians who were disqualified to hold
office under the reconstruction legislation
of congress, and under the fourteenth
amendment which we Were required to
adopt, were very bitter and denunciatory,
aud they fired the passions and worst feel
ings of the people up to a high point.
It wa* easy then to float with th c current.
My opinion was, however, that it was the
time of all others, when patriots and good
citizens should meet the issue calmly and
coolly, dismiss (Mission and be controlled
entirely by the dictates of their judgment.
Taking this view of the situation, and feel
ing that I owed the people of Georgia a
debt of gratitude that I could never
nay, for the honors and confidence they
had bestowed upon me. I looked carefully
into the situation, and whilst every prompt
ing of my nature and of my passions was
in the direction of the popular current, my
judgment told me it was bad policy ana
would terminate disastrously to pursue that
course.
I was fully convinced that further resist
ance to tlie will of the conqueror would be
worse than folly. I knew the northern
mind was inflamed against us, and that the
parry which had favored tlie war from the
commencement and had come out of it
triumphant, was obliged for years to con
trol popular sentiment there. I was, there
fore, satisfied the best thing we could do
was to agree with the adversary quickly, to
take the first terms they offered us, ana
close with them and get our representatives
back into congress at tlie earliest date possi
ble; and our slate again recognized as a
member of the family of states of the union.
I was satisfied if we made no resist
ance to the right of the negroes
to vote, and made no issue with them
II (Min that subject, we could retain their
confidence aud carry a majority of them
with us in spite of all tlie influence of all
the carpet-baggers that could come among
them. But I was equally well satisfied if
we made war upon the act* of congress
which gave them the right to vote, it would
lie a war in which ae would ultimately
be vanquished; ami the very fact, lhat we
made the issue would put them under the
control of the carpet-baggers who came
among us, and who represented themselves
to the colored people as being their friemLs
sent iiere to sec that these rights were se
cured.
I also predicted at the time, in my publ
speeches which are now of record, that the
time would come in less than 15years, when
tlie New England states would regret that
they had given suffrage to the negro; and
when the southern people, ou account of the
power wliich the negro vole gave us in con
gress would resist any effort to take from
the colored people tlie suffrage already given
them. Under the 14lh amendment, if tlie
state were to permit none of the colored race
to vote, site could count nouc of them
in her representative population. The
southern states, therefore, have some thirty
members of congress and thirty votes in the
electoral college, wliich they would not
have if they hnd denied to the colored race
the right to vote. The northern radicals
saw this in the results of the late presiden
tial election, and many of them have since
cried out against unqualified negro suf
frage. What southern man would now
yield that right, thereby losing the power
which we have in congress and in the elec
toral college; and which we would not have
if the race were disfranchised.
But this is not all. At the time I took
l>osition for acquiescence in the reconstruc
tion acts, no 15th amendment had been put
upon us, as partof the terms of rcaduiission
into congress; nor was it done until a num
ber of the states of the south had rejected the
fourteenth amendment. I predicted at the
outset, if we did not accept the terms then
offered to us, harder terms would be im
posed and we would be compelled to accept
them. After we hail rejected the fourteenth
r.mendnient, the fifteenth, which guaran
teed the right of the negro to vote, was pro
posed and made part of the terms; anil we
were informed we would not be readmitted
till we complied with this additional re
quirement. And we had to comply before
we were readmitted.
What has been the result? Those gentle
men in tbe south, who were then the lead-
of popular sentiment and who opxxised
four years after the opportunity had passed.
That which would have been wise and judi
cious in 1868. and would have secured our
immediate return to our proper position in
congress, was of no benefit in 1872, because
the times had changed, and tlie opportuni
ty was gone. Ti e mischief had already
been done. Had the whole south moved
on that line in 1868, the result would have
been that the democracy, designated by
their old name, or by some other watch
word, would before this time have beeu in
complete control of tbe government.
But my assailants through their instru
ment quote the bitter and discourteous lan
guage used by Senator Hill during that ex
citing and violent campaign, iu reference to
m.v position and conduct. Doubtless Mr.
Hill used the expression attributed to him
at tbe time under the excitement and
promptings of a bitter partisan warfare;
but Mr. Hill will not usa that language now,
nor will he approve it when used by others.
The caustic aud very severe language of
General Toombs, uttered during that period
of madness, is also lugged into the reply.
But General Toombs will not use that lan
guage now. Subsequent developments and
tlie influence of time have wrought great
changes.
The abusive language and the misrepre
sentations of The Constitution as then pub
lished-iu this city, are also copied into tlie
article. But The Constitution will neither
use nor indorse any such language
now; nor will it defend any such
misrepresentations. Why do thc gentle-
seek to do me injustice by reproducing
these bitter expressions used by the oppo
sition in that most stormy period, when they
knew that subsequent developments have
changed the opinions of those gentlemen
who uttered them and that no one claims
now that they were just when uttered.
They were the ebullitions of political mad
ness.
I see in The Constitution of yesterday
that Colonel Carey W. Styles, who was edi
tor of that pajier during the stormy period
of 1868, ha* had the manliness to come out
and inform the public of the circumstance*
uuder which the denunciations then went
into the paper, and to state that he does not
now entertain those opinions. In compari
son with the conduct of my assailants, this
high-toned, honorable course on the part of
Colonel Style* reflects credit both upon his
head and his hearL

i* the act of the enlightened patriot who
rise* above tlie dead issues of the past and
looks forward to the living future, ever
ready to do justice to all.
But there is another view of this ques
tion. My assailant* have not thought
proper to give a fair version of even what
occurred during the stormy period above
referred to. They have quoted the bitter
language used by ray opjionenta; but they
have carefully suppressed my replies to
those opponents, which at the time were
equally severe and denunciatory. They
have quoted tlie vituperation against
me; but they have quoted none of the nu
merous expressions of approbation and
even of laudation by the press on the oilier
Mile. They are like the Dutch justice who
when he had heard one side of a case,
stopped the evidence and refused to hear
the other side because, he said, when he
heard both sides it always confused him.
Or, to come down to a later case,

Milk River, Col, September 29.—Thorn
burgh’s command was attacked in a canon
at noon to-day, one mile south from here,
on our march to the agency, and retreated
in good order to the wagon train, where we
are now entrenching ourselves.
4:30 p.m.—Thornburgh was killed instant
ly during the retreat Captain Payne was
wounded in two places slightly. Lieuten
ant Paddock and Captain Grimes were also
painfully wounded. Ten enlisted men and
the wagon master, McKinstry, were killed
and twenty-fivs men wounded. The com
mand is now very well sheltered, but now
and then are heard guns of new liosliles
who have just arrived. Our mules and
horses are getting it all around. The red
dev ; ls fired the gross all around us to burn
us out.
September 29,9 p.m.—We still hold our
position. Every man is busy digging
trenches and hauling out the dead animals
for the defense to-morrow. We expect to
be attacked at daylight. Our courier, Joe
Rankin, has volunteered to cany dis
patches to Rawlins. Mr. Gordon's freigh
outfit of Indian supplies near us
has been burned, also the comoany wagons
of company F. 5th cavalry. About three-
fourths of our horses and mules have been
killed. Should reinforcements reach us in
five days we 'can hold out very well with
the ammunition.
Chicago, Oct. 1,—Dispatches to General
Sheridan corroborate the foregoing. Thorn
burgh’s command consisted of three com
panies of cavalry. The Indians, who were
several hundred in number, were
of the Ute tribe and said to be well armed
and very brave. Over five hundred soldiers
are ordered to the rendezvous at Rawlings,
and will reinforce the imperiled party as
soon as possible.
Washington, October L—From the In
dian bureau it is ascertained that the fol
lowing are among the causes which led to
the tight at Milk river, Colorado. In June
last an irruption of the miners upon the
White river Utes’ reservation caused ill
feeling among the Indians, who wandered
off from the reservation and committed a
number of incendiary acts. On September
8th Agent Meeker reported that the Indians
insisted upon his discontinuing the plowing
of land which they wanted for a pasture. A
plowman was tired on, wiien the agent
called fora council which resulted in a re
luctant consent to have tlie work proceed.
On September 13 Meeker teltgranhed that
he haa been assaulted by Chief Johnson and
forced out of his house and asked the gov
ernment for protection, which was ordered.
Major Thornburg's command was bound
thither when attacked. It is feared Meeker
and all on tho reservation are massacred.
Ogden, Utah, October 1.—Major Bryant,
of the Fourteenth infantry, with four com
panies, left here this afternoon for the re
lief of Major Thornburgh’s command.
Omaha, October l.—It is believed here
that Major Thornburgh who is an experienc
ed and cautious officer, fell into an ambus
cade planned by tbe enemy. Tlie military
authorities are unanimous in the be
lief that the worst has now beer,
told, for Lieutenant l'ayue strongly en
trenched near the water i* well provisioned
and will further fortify himself by throw
ing up earthworks, which with the wagon
train, will enable him to hold hi* own tilt
the reinforcements appear, which will be
soon. General Williams lias consulted witli
General Cnmk, who is in Chicago,
and ordering matters forward. General
Merritt, at Fort D. A. Russell, Cheyenne,
was telegraphed to and ordered to take com
mand of the expedition. The message was
carried by the operator who received it at
the latter place to tlie general at tiis head
quarters on horseback. General Merritt
immediately began preparing for the expe
dition. At Camp Douglass and Salt
Lake no time was last, but every
thing was jierfected at short notice.
At Fort McPherson and Sanders the same
activity prevailed. The Union Pacific rail
road worked in harmony with the military,
and troops are all now en route for Rawlins,
from which point succor will be sent out.
A special train of four cars of troops from
Camp Douglas left Ogden at 2 pm. to-day
for the scene of tlie outbreak. The train
was under orders to make fast time. Three
hundred men and six hundred horses left
Cheyenne to-day for Rawlins. One com
pany left Fort Sander*, and two com
panies of cavalry left Fort McPherson
to-day for Fort Steele, The latter had
horses, baggage, etc., with them. The
tioops have been ordered forward front
Forts Fetterman and Robinson, and will
leave for the seat of war as soon as they can
reach the railroad. General Merritt, to
whom the command of the expedition is
^ven, is one of tlie best
_ndian fighters in tlie country.
This forenoon he telegraphed General Wil
liams that he would be ready to start to
morrow morning with a force of nearly 550
men. As animals and provisions are
plenty, the march will be forced and
relief will soon reach those in peril.
Major Thom burgh’s body lias not been
recovered, but lies in front of his command
and cannot be procured. He was a very
powerful man, fully six feet two inches in
height, active and muscular, a good shot
and a daring horseman. He leaves a wife
and two children, who are at Fort Steele.
