Tie COMMITTEES of the Whole next took up the bill
relative to the claim Of the Stockbrilge tribe OF
Ind to certain lands in Albany, Rensselaer, ID
Coiurilil. and
Mr.. RAMSEY urged its passage on the groand that
IT would forever set at rest the AMI Rent excements
which have 20 long disturbed the quiet o; those
counties
NJ. NOXON aiming that neither had
The Attorney General the Hon. Mr. Cha'ieli nor the
Court Of Appeals denied that these titles were not
good.
Mr.. WADSwORTH replied that it was too late to
dojUstce in this matter if inuFce has been done. 1t
il not oo late to do justice TO the Indian II l. never
too late perhaps to Do that Bat it too late for
this Legislature to interfere, especially when every
attending Circumstance Is vague, with the home
steads OF citizens. If litigation mus be had in
the premises the Senator from the lid Mr.. Sckles
has pointed ont the way, when be tells US that the
Federal Courts are the proper tribunals wherein to
carry il out. But he maintained that the Court Of Ap
peals had decided upon the principles involved. and
thatoo. in favor Of the present possessors OF these
lands. Then Why pass an Act which will inhate the
remnant Of this tribe with the idea that the Legsla-
ture considers their title good and thus send them TO
the COuts there to waste the means they possess in
the use endeavor Of being placed in the pose sion
Of that title and thus again regenerate that wild ex
cItement which, for ten years, extended to almost
every of the State. He would not discuss the
question further and would say in conclusion that he
trusted the Legislature would tell those who press the
passage Of this bill" once, for all we deem this
question settled"
Mr.. NOXON again took the floor and urged the
passage Of the bill act Of Justice to the red

" mountainous country and through its forests
Mr. SICKLES. aaer remarking that the history Of
the world f1rni.het no parallel with regard 70 the
treatment of conquered race by its conquerors to
the magnsDiuity always evinced by our Government
toward the Indians, called the attention of the friends
of the measure To- the question put them by himself
when the bill was last under cOn-ideratOn-whether
or no the Federal Courts had cognzance of the mat
ter and urging that they had He thought this could
lot be gainsad ard if sO why, this question should
be thrown into those Courts aud not agitaed in our
own localities which would have the effect OF renew
ing those excitements under which portions Of our
State bad 80 long suffered.
Progress was reported, and the bill fr the rcief Of
Royal &. Moore then ordered to a third reading
