WISCONSIN.

We may hope soon TO see this enterprising
community enter the Union as a sovereign STATE.
Both houses Of her Legislature assembled al the
Ca pilal on the 18th Ocl. We are indebted 10 The
New York Evening Post Tor sketch OF the pro-
ccedinss:
The President of the Council, upon taking his
seat, remarked that the special object OF the meet
ing al this time was 10 provide Tor convention
10 form constitution for the State of w isconsin.
Governor Dodge delivered brief message, in
which he states that al The last census Of The terri
tory, the number of inhabitants was one hundred
and flty-ive thousand
BY the official returns made Of the votes given
for and aga inst state government il appears that
large majority Of The people are in favor OF a
Stale government. The preparatory steps could
be taken for The election of convention TO form
a constitution and submitting il TO The people Of
the territory well as TO The Congress Of the U.
States, al their next session. in time for The admis-
sion OF Wisconsin as Independent Bnr, as The
next is Tho commencement al a new Cong fess and
a long session Of that body In that event, the
Stale Of Wisconsin will give her electoral vote at
the next Presidential election in 1913.
The Governor then proceeded 10 mention many
rea sons, OF local nature which make il hes, Tor
The interests OF Wisconsin to become stale as
early as practicable. One of which is that il may
derive seasonable benefit from The appropriation
OF land which has been made by Congress 10 the
Western States

LAND SALES BY THE SOLICITOR OF
THE TREASURY.-We learn (says The Un-
ion) that the sealed proposals for the purchase Of
the interest of the United States in lands acquired
in the payment of debts, were this day opened in
the Solicitors Office, in presence OF several Off
GERS of the Treasury Department. Bids were re-
ceived for each parcel advertised, and many Of
them at liberal prices. There we're in all more
than Eve thousand bids. These are all TO be en-
tered on bid books before il can be ascerlained
which are the highest. Every exerlon will
be made to decide this at the earliest pos.
sble moment, when notice will be given
to those whose bids shall have been accepted. II
Is probable that sales OF all the advertised pro.
perty have been made. II SO, The Solicitor may
congratulate himself upon entire success in his
plan OF sale.

regret to see that John Van Buren,, who is,
I suppose, a son OF E1-President Van Buren,, is
an advocate and ardent supporter OF the btinaot

of The South must say, in language not TO be mis-.

10 the "Wimot Proviso" Democrats, that The

INDIAN RELATIONSHIP Washington

INDIAN RELATIONSHIP Washington
Union has long and interesting statement con-
corning our Indian relations, efectually reiuling
the idea that the difficulty with the Sacs and
Foxes, and the suffering oil these Indians, as con-
nected with The recent payment of their annuilies
is any way Attributable 10 the action Of the Indian
Department, or the Commissioner OF Indian AT
fairs, MIR. Medill. In reference 10 an attack on
this gentleman, contained in a statement, the ST..
Louis Republican, TO The effect that The agent, MIR.
Beach, had paid The annuilies without The requi-
site instructions, and resigned, rather than wit
ness The clamur and suffering around him, The
Union says, il is now plainly evident il was for
the purpose Of screening the conduct of faithless
and guilty agent, in lending himself 10 certain
traders, and 10 deter The department, il possible,
from carrying into execution a law of the las,
session in relation 10 The payment OF Indian an
nuities.
an the case OF the Sacs and Foxes the annui-
lies for The years 843, 1874, 1915, 1916, and for
the present year l8i7, were paid over TO the
agent Tor distribution, on The 10th August, 9Th
September, 2Sh August, l4h September. and

il will be seen that he received them even earlier

The ST. Louis Union notices this matter, and
gives, no doubt the correct version OF il. As The
Washington Union adopts it, we appeni the az
liclc Of that paper:
1.-THE last Congress passed law requiring an
nnilies 10 be paid hereafter TO the heads OF iami-
lies, instead Of Chiefs in order to save The Indians
tom imposition. When The annuity was put in.
10 the hand Of The agent Tor the Sacs and Foxes,
he was directed TO take The money 10 his agency
but not 10 pay it out until he received the inslruc-
tons 10 be forwarded 10 him in few days. lie
left here on The 81 ull, and The instructions were
sent on The 9Th. They mus, have reached him
or should have reached him, in due course oil
mail, ON the h. On the 25,h, however, he paid
out The annuilies 10 the chefs-having previously
allowed claims against the tribe. This was in
violation OF his instructions and the law. |, may
have been that The claimants melted the Indians
TO become clamorous; but The agents duty was
plain. lie paid off claimants, and gave The ba
lance 10 The Chiefs in direct opposition to The law
and his instructions, and then resigned The con.
sequence is, that the Indians have been deprived
Of the money belonging to them, per capita, ane
the intentions OF Congress and the department
,hwarted. The design was 10 prevent The chief!
and traders from using up the funds belonging 70
the whole tribe, and leaving the families to suffer-

profer Of Cancellation and compromise, throw

But, while defending The Southern Democratic
press from unjust attacks, We must say that The
Souh has right 10 complain of the course of
the Southern Wing press upon the question
OF territory. We are engaged in war; whe-
Their justly or not, we shall not now discuss.

guilty Of wrong and crime-or as TOO weak and

ofMexican territory, because, they argue, il will
extend the "slave power" Southern Whiggery,
instead OF meeting this question as i, deserves,
substantially yield 10 the demands Of the ianat-
les, and, from fear Of The threats Of CONFUSION
and disunion, chime in with the main purpose Of
our opponents, which is 10 reject all territory. Do
they not, thereby, virtually encourage The designs
of the fanatics, and postpone the evil to later
and more inauspicions periodl The issue has been
raised BY our Northern opponents. The South
should not cover before The storm, but meet il
With Arm and unbroken 'front.' Wequcte here,

justly treat the mo territory" doctrine as fatal in
every aspect. They make no empty threats, but
