The San Francisco merchants' memorial me-morial urging tho passago of the houso bill for tho payment of var premium claims from the Geneva award fund, is held by its custodian, C. A. Wcstniore, for presentation by Sargent on his return from Florida, which is expected this week. The senate judiciary committee will not tako up this subject before- next week. Tho petition of Charles Scott, formerly congressman Irom California, Califor-nia, for removal of his political dis abilities, was presented by Senator aJ.nved at lliu request ol Lamar, and also because he and Dawes served together to-gether in the house of representatives twenty years ago. The petition is dated at Camden, Ala., and is confined con-fined to a formal request without argument. Lamar says Scolt exhibited ex-hibited great gallantry in the confederate con-federate service, and was nearly shot to pieces, Tho commission consisting of Jerome, Barstow and Stickney of the 1 board of Indian commissioners, and Brigadier General Howard and Major Wood ot the United Stales army appointed ap-pointed iti October last to inquire into the slfitus and claims ol the eo-called non-treaty Ntz l'erces, and to eflcct a settlement on a permanent basis of ll,Q rliMiMillu.a nvfi hclno,, llm .UW V,.,..V,l....VU V.llJ....b I. ........ and the settlers, which have recently been aggravated by the murder by , white men of one of Joseph's band, have made their report to the commissioner com-missioner of Indian uflairs. Several councils were held with tiie Kez Perces chief Joseph cud his band, in which he was urged to relinquish his claim to Wallawa valley in Oregon, and to settle on the .Nez Perces reserve in Idaho, under a promise of receiviug government agricultural lands there, with aid in opening farms and building houses, but Joseph persisently refused either to go on any reservation or to Bettlo permanently in Wallawa valley, and insisted on his inherent right to roam wherever inclination prompted, and to his ownership of Wallawa valley in particular, to the exclusion of white settlers. The commission therefore recommend that unless Joseph re moves voluntarily to the $iez Perces reserve within a reasonable lime, he he forced to remove thither by tho military if necessary, or that a depredation depre-dation committed by him or his band be made the tccasion for placing them on the reserve by military force, and that meanwhile troopa be stationed sta-tioned in Itnmaha valley j also that ail leaders of the sect called "Dreamers," who have powerful influence over the Indians in Oregon and Washiuet.cn and Idaho territories, .in teaching them to despiae civilization and ignore the authority of the United States, be required to go upon their respective reservations, or iu oasoot reluaal, that they be removed by forco to Indian territory. The commission wore also instructed to consider the subject of a reduction in the number of reservations reserva-tions and agencies in tho above state and territories, but owing to the lateness of the season wero unable to take the long journey necessary to i proper understanding under-standing of the matter. They are, however, of the opinion that the fourteen agencies in the department uf Columbia may be reduced to five, the proceeds of tiie sale of reservations reserva-tions to he used to defray the expense of the removal of Indians and of establishing them iu uew ho nes, provided that heads of families have the privilege of remaining where they are and taking a reasouuble quantity of laud under restrictions as toaheua- 1 tiou. The commission also urgently recommend the extension of United States law and jurisdiction of United States courts over Indian reservations. reserva-tions. Cnicago, 10.
