Tho House Pacific Railrpsd Committee have,
SO far, held two meetings; the last, yesterday
morning. They have not yet taken up any
proposition for formal consideration, but are
awaiting the action of the Senates' special
committee raised for tho same purpore. They

inclined to believe, fer the want of action of
Cong ess up to this time, systematizing the
Indian Department in New Mexico. So far,
| Congress has failed to authorize the formation
of treaties with the Indians Of that region,
fixing metes and bounds TO their reservations
Until that may be done it bids fair to be i'm
possible to prevent indiscriminate and perni-
cious trade between them and tho whites, and
also to prevent the latter from wantonly
destroying the buffalo, which it is the policy of
the Government to preserve as far as possible,
for the sole use of the Indians.
