AN INDIAN GIRL'S LETTER.
We have before us a copy of a letter
dated April 4th, 1870, written by an In
dian girl of Nevada, to Vincent t'olyer.
Secretary of the Hoard of Indian Commis
sioners. The original was written in a
.beautiful hand, and its clear simple style
and straightforward stat'.‘incuts commend
it favorably, and speak of the intelligence
of the race to which the writer belongs
and tlie injustice with which they have
been treated. The letter was placed in
our liffb 's by lion. John I). Lang.
Camp McDf.hmot, ?
April 4, 1870. (,
Vincent Colyer, Secretary of Indian
Commissioners :
Sir—I learn from the commandin'!
officer at this post that you desire full in
formation in regard to.the Indians about
this place, with a view, if possible, of bet
tering their condition by sending them on
the Truckee river reservation. All the
Indians from here to Carson city belong
to the l’ah-utes tribe. My father, Whose
name is Winnemueca, is the head chief ol
the whole tribe, but he is now getting ton
old, and has not energy enough to com
mand, nor to impress on their minds the
necessity of their being sent on the re
servation ; in fact, I think he is entirely
opposed to it. He, myself and the most
of the Ilnmbolt and Queen’s river Indians
were on the Truckee reservation at one
lime, but if we had stayed there it would
have been only to starve. I think if they
had received what they were entitled t<
from the agents, that they would nevet
have left there. So far as their knowledge
of agriculture ext* mL, they are quite ig
norant, as they have never had an oppor
tunity of learning, but I think if proper
pains were taken that tlthy would willing
ly make tlie effort to maintain themselves
by their own labor, providing that they
could be made to believe that the products
were to be their own, and for their own
use and comfort. It is needless for me to
enter into details as to how we were treated
* on the reservation while there ; it is
enough to say that wo were confined to
the reserve and had to live on what tish
we might catch on the river. If this is
the kind of civilization awaiting us on the
reserve, God grant that we may never be
compelled to go on one, as it is more ore
• forable to live on the mountains and drag
out an existence in our native manner.
So l’ar as living is concerned, the Indi
ans at all Military jiosts get enough to cal
an*l considerable cast-off clothing, but how
long is this to continue? Wliat is the ob
ject of the Government in regard to In
ili.tns ? Is it enough that we are at peace!
remove all the Indians from the Military
posts and place them on reservations sue)
as the Truckee and Walker river, (us they
were conducted) and it will require i
greater military force stationed around t<
keep them within the limits than it now
does to keep them in subjection. On tin
Otkir hand if the Indians have any guar
ante'* that they inn secure a permaiieni
huaic on their own native soil aud that
our white neighbors can be kept front en
croaccing on our rights after hat ing a
reasonable share of ground allotted to us
as our own, and giving us the required
advantages of learning, &e., 1 warrant
that thp savage as he is called to day, w ill
be a law abiding member of the commu
nity 15 or 20 years hence.
Yours, respectfully,
Sarah Wiknemhcca,
Pah-ute Interpretress. ■
The last freak of the Portland Advertis
; er in a labored effort to show that Senator
; Morrill’s statement about the friendly rein*
, lions existing between himself and Mr. j
Blaine, is not true. This is rather worse
than its attempt to demolish the Globe.
It seems to ug the assumption of the Ad
j vitiser that it knows Senator Morrill's re
; lations with Mr. Blaine better than Mr.
Morrill docs himself, is something that can
i not be proved by mathematics or metaphys
j ies, to be anything but an absurdity. To
crown all the Advertiser conjures up in its
imagination another plot about the Sena
torship, and putting on its war paint
threatens to light the phantom and smash
things generally. What next ?
CALIFORNIA LETTER.
Sax Francisco, May 4th, l«7d.
May Day.
May Day came on Sunday, but Sunday
did not prevent it from being celebrated
in the usual manner by picnics and an
excursion through the Golden Gate to the
Farallono Islands, 25 miles out to sea.
The Fenians were out in full force, several
companies marching through the streets
before taking the ears for the picnic in the
country. On Monday the few colored
people here celebrated by a military parade,
making a very good appearance.
unday in this city is the gayest day of
the week. It used to be a few years ago
the worst day, when fandangos, (Spanish
dances), theatres, bull lights, etc. were
in full blast, and open licentiousness ran
riot. One who is so disposed can now •
And a great deal of not altogether puritan
amusement here on a Sabbath day; but
with the advancement of the city has
come a higher moral tone, though probably
there is yet more “fastness’’ in San Fran
cisco than in any other city in the Union.
On Sunday the road to the C'iiff House is
lined with gay turn-outs, and not a few
courtesans are on the road, some in bug
gies or roekaways, driving fast horses, and
others cantering along at a rapid gait on
horseback.
I he Sea Lions,
of which a good view can be obtained at
any time from the Cliff House, are a
wonderful sight. The Clift' House is
! elevated above the surf below, and over
I hangs the sea. Less than a quarter of a
mile from it, below, are three rocky crags
coming precipitously front tin water.
The largest of these small .islands is
pierced through the center, forming a
natural arch, which can be distinctly seen
in the narrows of the Golden Gate. These
are the famous seal rocks, and the favorite
resort of hundreds of enormous Sea Lions.
[ The ride of about 7 miles from the city is
; over a very fine macadamized toll road ;
after tin hours “breezing” over this, the
“Brighton road,” of San Francisco, we
alight in front of the “Cliff;" a man
stands ready to hold the horses. We en
ter and pass through to the balcony over
hanging the rocks, far below ; the broad
Pacific is before us with its mighty waves
“surging over from the Celestial Empire”
eight thousand miles away. But the ab
sorbing object is the seal rocks below us
on whose steep sides we see large num
bers of yellowish brown objects, which
are the “Lions.” We can hardly believe
our eyes that right here so near us, within
j cannon range of the city limits, and at
easy rifle range from the windows of the
j Cliff House, we see such a wonderful
! sight. The question involuntarily arises
1 what prevents their being frightened
away ? The answer is that no one is al
lowed to disturb them day or night. They
lie for hours perfectly quiet on the rocks,
unless disturbed by their companions,
when they often bite at, and fight each
other fiercely, barking or roaring with a
powerful voice, which is very distinctly
j heard lrom our lookout. If the small ones
get quarrelling their parents separate
them. The males are called “bulls,” the
females “cows” and the young ones
“pups.” The bulls are of great size,
some of them weighing nearly or quite
; two tons and not unfrequently 11000 pounds,
j They are seen on these rocks every day in
tin; year, and are one of the wonders of
! San Francisco, which all new-comers
! must go and see. At low tide there is a
good ride along the hard sandy beach
from the Clift' House to the Ocean House,
a distance of perhaps three miles. The :
ocean view from either of these houses is I
very fine. The headlands of the Golden
Gate at this season present a most beauti
ful sight. Point Benita, opposite, is
1 clothed with the most delicately shaded
; hues of wild flowers, grass and stone. Its
face is a precipitious rock, as if the Coast
llangc Mountains had suddenly been cleft
by some natural convulsion and the sea
came pouring in. Many suppose that San
Francisco Bay was formerly a fresh water
lake, but that none of the inhabitants of
this city can swear to, as they have none*
of them been inhabitants long enough.
s.\n Fhancisco
This year has reached her majority. She i
is now entitled to he a voter, her first year 1
being lMl't—and great are the “Forty
Miners." They have a “Pioneer Associa
tion" here, composed entirely of this class
of citizens, and there appears to be a
* goodly number of people who claim the
distinction. There are very few old men
1 here, the large majority being under for
ty. Males arts largely in excess ol le
| males.
The Chinese
are a very large and important element
throughout the Slat*!. It is estimated that
there arc 60,000 (Jhiuuuicu ou the Pacific*
coast, of which 20,000 are in San Francis
co. They come here to make money, and
all with the intention of returning to Chi
na as soon as they amass a few hundred
dollars, which makes them rich men com
paratively there. They send the bones of
those who die here back to China by the
vessel load, as their spirits would not rest
in peace if their remains were suffered to
moulder in a foreign soil. They nil come
over here under the protection of one ot \
the three great Chinese companies, and
these companies have at their head here
the most intelligent Chinese business men.
Some of the wealthiest Chinamen, who
had heretofore controled the affairs of
these companies, have returned home be
cause of the persecutions of the Irish ele- i
ment here. Very few Chinese women arc
seen, and nearly all of them are prostitutes 1
of the lowest order. We have not seen
a Chinese lady yet, though we are told
there are a very few, the wives of. the
Company Agents. The race are remark
ably industrious and docile. Many pre
fer them to Fiuropeans as house servants.
They are never insolent and always obey
orders literally and mechanically. We
arc told by a lady that she had occasion to
show her Chinaman how to make a pud
ding. She put several eggs in it, and the
second egg which she broke proving “bad”
she threw it away. Sometime after the
man was making a similar pudding, and
happening to watch him, the lady ot the
house saw that he imitated her perfectly,
even to the throwing away of the second
egg, which she found upon enquiry he
had done every time he had made a pud
ding since the first. Many of them are re
markably intelligent and fine business
men. They have several large and elegant
stores, and numerous poorer grades. The
Chinese quarter is confined principally to
Commercial and Dupont streets in the
centre of the city. They live in very Ming
quarters, many families in one building.
They have their “Barbary Coast,” one of
the Worst dens of crime in America. It is
in an inner court with wretched buildings
surrounding and opening into it. Here the
Chinese “Bill" and “Nancy Sykes's” have
their headquarters, and receive their tu
telage and share their spoils with Chinese
“Fagins”, who would put Dickens' Fagin
to shame. It is currently stated to us that
there are really
Chinese slaves
bought anil sold here, and that the wealth
ier classes have slaves to do all the menial
labor, and are often very brutal towards
them. These people are, however, so ex
clusive and so totally different from us
that it is difficult to learn the truth about
them. There is an immense amount of
PREJUDICE AGAINST THE CHINAMEN,
but we are inclined to think them an ex
ceedingly useful element in the cosmo
politan society of this coast. In fact they
could hardly be spared, for they do near
ly all the lower grade of labor here, and
are very extensively employed as house
servants. They show great aptness in
learning, and there arc several Sabbath
and week-day and night schools devoted
to teaching them English. They are gen
erally very shrewd, and are really in
many respects fully up to our civilization.
They rarely resent an insult from a white
man, the companies counselling their de
pendents not to fight. They are general
ly very quiet and orderly on the street.
Nearly all retain their native costume,
which consists outside of a loose blouse,,
and loose pantaloons, cloth shoes with pa
per souls shod with leather, and a skull
cap, or soft light colored common felt:
hat, which last seems the only European
article of dress which they appreciate to
any great extent. Their worst vices are !
opium smoking and gambling, their two
great dissipations. They gamble prob
ably more than any other people, and it
is said often barter away wives and chil-1
dren. They have their own priests, doe-1
tors, and merchants, and in fact, it is said,
one can see almost as much of “China"
here as in Chimvtself. lint I must close
this hasty sketch for it is growing late.
