Nebraska.

Senator Douglass of the Committee on Terri
tories, has reported back to the United States
Senate the bill for the establishment Of terrific
rial government in Nebraska, with various a.
mendments, in the form of substitute for the
bill it is long one, embracing as it does, every
detail which a territorial bill must necessarily
contain, and is accompanied by report.
The most important sections of the bin, and
those which viii be most earnestly debated, are
those in reference to the indian title in the pro-
posed territory, and those providing for the adj
mission Of the State or States to be hereafter
erected out of the domain included in the limits
assigned to Nebraska, with or without slavery,
as the people Of the State or States may decide
when they apply for admission in this regard,
the bill contemplates the direct and special ap-
plication, to the proposed territory, of the Prin-
ciples of the Compromise Measures of 1880. and
also of the proposition known as the Fugitive
Slave Law and re-affrmed by the act of 1850.
This is perhaps, thus far, the most important
bill of the session, and the discussions upon it's
various propositions will doubtless be of unusual
interest and Importance.
1t is said, that Senator Houston will oppose the
provisions oc the bill recommending the extin-
guishment of the Indian titles to land, after the
establishment of the Territorial government.
We shall endeavor to keep our readers booked
up on the progress of the bill through Congress.
