The Editors OF the Commercial enron lCle
have received fhe following letter from their
correspondent now in Natchitoches, which they
Law before their readers, as the information 1t
contains may be interesting to a portion OF
them. 1t is dated
Notchtoches. Sept. 10, l926.
Gentlemen: Letters have been received from
the Ayish Bayou, Is miles from Natchitoches,
stating that the States Of Cohpahuila and Texas
had nearly completed their Constitutions, and
that they had determined to abolish slavery in
toto; and that all slaves in the province at the
promulgation of the decree, should be free
his has produced the greatest dissatisfaction,
and should the report be true it is rumored that
the slave holders will make considerable oppo-
stion 10 any measure Of the kind. The Ame
ricans in hese provinces have become dissatls-
fed with the Government, and unless speedy
change takes place in affairs, they will most
undoubtedly abandon thei" farms; and seek an
asylum in land where liberty is not bye
word only, but where they, with their families
and property, will receive protection Murders
have become quite matter Of course, and no
man can calculate on his person being safe from
those marauders.
Our planters in the Red River Bottom are
quite discouraged at the appearance OF their
cotton, the rot is making such formidable de-
vastations they will scarcely make half 4 crop,
and the weather al this time is suIl bad, and
making further destruction Since 1912, they
have not received SO much injury.

INDIAN POSSIBILITIES.

The Missouri Republican Of the 5th instant,
furnishes the following information respecting
Indian affairs. If practicable, the power OF the
United States ought 10 be intcrposcd to pre-
vent the bloody warfare that is threatened "a
mong those ferocious and misguided beings:
Indian Council There has been, for the last
week. council held between the Deiawares and
their allies, the Shawnees, Kickapoos, Sc on
one part, and the Osages on the other war
has existed, for the last fourteen months, be-
tween these nations, and many scalps have been
taken The Osages have, it is said, generally
been the greatest sufferers in their predatory
excursions. The parties were invited 10 as
semble here, by Gen CLARK, the Supernten-
dent of Indian Affairs, with view to an ami
cable adjustment, under the auspices Of the y.
States, of :he existing differences between
them. From what we have heard, it appears
that the Osagcs are willing to make pea;e, but
that the Delawaies, finding themselves in the
wrong, are averse TO the proposition. a re-
currence TO the tomahawk and scaiDing knife
seems 10 be the most probable result OF this al
tempt TO heal the wounds OF the respective
tribes; and we believe we are not wrong IN sup
posing, from the embittered feelings OF anmos-
ity expressed towards each other, that the con-
test, if resolved on, will be bloody and exter-
minating one The Osages, it is presumed,
can enumerate about two thousand warriors,
while their opponents and allies are rot near so
strong, but,ths disadvantage, in point of num-
bers, is coun,erbaIanced by their being better
supplied with fire arms. their dexterlty in using
them, and their bravery, for which latter quail
tv the Osages have never been greatly distln-
guished

maintained against the Mexican administra-
ion, in some of the papers. FL Sol, of the 22d

Buenos Ayres, Chile, Upper Peru, Brazil, and

NorE.-The writer takes unfeigned pleasure in
calling the public attention to the following ex-
tracts, taken from Mr.. Rowans speech recently
delivered in the Senate of the r. S. He has sci.
dom seen so much wisdom in so short a space in
me columns OF newspaper It's chief merit will
oe found IN thelast section the policy of leaving
the peoples money with them to be used at thei,
own pleasure. Mr. Rowan is most respectfully
requested to extend his reflection TO the many very
great advantages of that policy over the o,her-oi
lrst drawing the peoples mohey from them, and
afterwards returning it to them. This single sec
non contains more sound policy, more utility,
more patriotism, more security for indy idual
noerty, more national wealth, more internal i'm
provements, than can be found in the whole of the
long quotation from the President, introduced in to

should be thrown into circulation as quickly as
practicable In circulation, it swes the tide of

rewarding it. The Government holds The surplus

should not be unnecessarily withheld from them
