The Secretary of the Interior has
given full instructions to Victor and
Garrett, Indian agents, who have left
Washington for the mission of their
duties, to organize a delegation from
the Creeks and Seminoles residing
west Of the Mississippi river, to pro-
coed to Florida, in the autumn, on the
special business topsrsuade Billy Bow
legs and his followers to emigrate.-
The Florida Semineles, government is
aware, are too proud to be forced to
this step at the point Of the bayonet,
and hence resorts to ~peaceable mea-
sures, which will, it is confidently be-
lieved, accomplish that important mea-
sure. In view Of the above design,
there will, in the meanwhile, be no &C
tive military movements made in Flo
rnla.
As heretofore stated, there viii be
no troops stationed in Kansas who
have in any way been implicated IL
former difficulties in the Territory.
In addition to large force destined
for accompanying the commission tC
run the southern boundary of Kansas
a summer campaign to chastise the
Cheyennes and Kiowas is arranged
and several officers are now here re
ceiving Instructions to that end.
None of these troops are intended
for Utah, as has been conjectured.

Notica to the Public.

- .L.. -.
DEING informed that certain parties are cireulat-
ID ingreports that may, without being contradieted
operate injuriously to the Tow Of Nemaha city,
viz: That / am not the legal owner Of the town site
that / had on a former occasion sold ii to other
parties and am now violating an agreement said to
have been entered into between myself and the
parties, referred tO-and further, that suit has been
or is about being brought to recover interests said
to be claimed by these parties.
The whole affair is without any foundation what
ever. No agreement has ever been entered into be-
tween myselfand any party or parties but what am
prepared to faithfully fulfill. The article referred to
above, is said to have been entered into sometime in
the Spring Of 1885, between myself s.. F.. Nuckolls,
a Mr.. Ballard, q Dir. Donayan, a Mr.. Wyatt, a Mr..
Holly and others, Of whom know nothing as never
saw but two or three Of the gentlemen, or heard Of
them except as connected with these flying rumors.
If my signature appears as q party in the article Of
agreement said to exist it is forged, as it was never
placed there with my knowledge or co1sent.
If these gentlemen, have rs they claim, any rights
to property in Nemaha city, or differences with me
why do they not call on me in person. Ihavc been
informed that q person said to represent them has
been in this county on several occasions and even in
the Town Of Nenaha city making the assertions, re
ferred to, but has never made his business known tC
me, although / was in my residence and he but a few
rods distant. 1t is plain, l think, for any and every
one to see that the whole affair has been gotten VI
to injure the Town of Nemaha city, oraruse to secure
an interest therein.
Thus much / have thought proper to say in Thu
public manner, and further to announce, that should
the parties referred to bring suit, 1 am prepared Il
meet them.
