Governor Bigler asserts that the federal government should pay for the claims submitted to the State of California for hunting and killing Indians, but pledges full payment of principal and interest of the “war” debt:

“…the debt contracted for Indian expeditions, amounting in the aggregate to $924,259.65, should be regarded as an apparent rather than actual indebtedness, one which Congress is bound, sooner or later, to assume – the General Government having failed to extend to our people the protection guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States…No provision has, it is true, been made for the payment [o]f the accruing interest on the war debt, but the State, by solemn acts of legislation, stands pledged for the payment of the whole amount, principal and interest.”

The Governor states his opinion regarding Indian policy in California, confirming the Legislature advocated for rejection of the California treaties and Indian reservations in 1852:

“The Legislature of 1852, it will be remembered, protested against the policy of locating the Indians within the State upon reservations of land set apart for that purpose; and that the several treaties made by the Indian Commissioners in the years 1851 and 1852, in each of which, it is believed, provision was made for a reservation of land, were all unanimously rejected by the United States Senate.”

Because an Indian purportedly had stolen a white man’s clothes:

“the whites immediately formed a small party and attacked the Indians in that vicinity, and killed eight of them. The courier came in for the purpose of getting more men to go out and give the Indians a lesson that would serve them as an example for the future.”

An enclosed letter from John E. Wool dictates that G.J. Rains commanded Fort Dallas, Oregon on the subject of Indian relations. He describes instances of lawless, wanton acts of cruelty against the Indians of Northern California. He mentions Agent Culver’s letter from a committee of miners originating from Illinois River dated at January 19th, 1854. The letter describes an attack by miners from Sailor Diggings to exterminate the Indians of Illinois and Deer Creek. A.J. Smith writes further from Fort Lane on February 3, 1854. Nineteen of the miners approached Deer Creeks and attacked a rancheria of 7 [squaws?], 1 boy, 2 children, with the intent to kill. The miners murdered one pregnant woman, two children; wounded three squaws, and one boy. He mentions the successes of Beale’s Indian Reservation near Tejon Pass and recommends a similar experiment in Oregon, especially in Scotts Valley for the Klamath and other Indians. He further recommends sending more recruits to Fort [Sans?] to keep

A letter is enclosed from W.H. Harvey with Henley’s reply. Harvey surveyed a place for a reservation in between the Gila and Colorado Rivers in New Mexico. Since there will be an insufficient amount of water for the season, the Indians won’t be able to cultivate land. If this is the case, then Henley guarantees the prospect of forced migration amidst their poverty to Upper California in addition to war. He recommends relocating the Indians and providing them with beef cattle. Henley replies that due to the lack of funding, Harvey would have to continue surveying the land, but at his own personal expense.
