Legislature Of the State would consent to their
remaining No action in this matter having
been taken by the Legislature as far as the
Government here knows, and the question
having arisen whether the money appropri-
ated by the law of 1S4S can be paid as
that law provides, Notwithstanding the sub
sequent act of 1885, the Secretary of the In
terror has decided that it can be paid to such Of
them-to each his own share only-as may still
comply with the requirements Of the act OF lS4s.
He has accordingly directed the Commissioner
of Indian Affairs to prepare to remove such OF
them to the present Cherokee county as are
| willing now to go thither.
The INDIAN DEPARrxEYT.-The Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs has, by circular, di-
rected all the employees of his Bureau in the
| great West, hereafter to have their several an
nual reports here by the first of October, and to
embrace in them much additional detailed Stats
teal information. As these reports are hereaf-
ter to be made. they will afford data for very
comprehensive annual census of the Indians
and all their affairs of public Christian inter-
est. They will show not only the number,
names and nature of the employment of all in
the Government service among the tribes, but
the number, sexes, employment, health, i'm
! provement, prospects, condition, &c, of each
| tribe
SrEANISG-not on the rail, reader, but on
the Avenue,-is just now our daily vocation; as
it is that of all other luckless mortals who are
forced to be much out and about in Washington
| at this time We have summer heat upon us
here-frying, stewing, blstering and boiling
heat-indeed. Nearly all who can get OF to
the mountains or to seaside watering places
have already gone, and precious few strangers
are in the city. So Washington is dull dull
err, dullest!. Even the office-scekers have
nearly all taken their departure, as pertina-
ciously as they preverbally hold on,
