KANSAS IT. Anril 1st 1873


MAJ. RAYMOND Having made another
trip to the Cottonwood since writing my
last letter, l will give you an account of
the Kaw Indians-their modes, customs,
&c. There being great many encamped
near Toledo, determined to visit them
in their encampment. The first I OBJ
served on my approach was quite num-
Der of poor sore-backed ponies that had
been nearly killed by tremendous pack
ing. 1t is truly astonishing to see the
great loads that they are capable of car
rying, frequently being packed with four
and five hundred pounds, under which
they can scarcely stand. On entering their
village I was greeted by the friendly salu-
tation of chow" and hearty shake of
the hand from all the prominent members
fthe tribe. On entering one of the wig
vans | found five squaws and four pa
pooses, all of which belonged to one In
dian. Quite breeze was created among
the squaws while I remained in camp
several knives were drawn, but their Chief
settled the difficulty. The babies were
fastened to boards and Sc: in a slanting
position toward the fire. They were
nearly naked, and when one of the chaps
undertook to disturb the monotony of the
household by that process which is obnox-
iOus to us old bachelors, it was instantly
brought to its senses by the mother taking
it and stamping it up and down upon the
ground, which had the effect ofsettling the
young squaller. This is certainly the most
effectual baby jumper l have ever seen.
Their tents are built of reeds woven to-
gether, open at the top. The fire is built
in the middle of the hut, the smoke
escaping through the opening at the top.
The females were engaged in dressing buff
falo hides, as they had lately returned
from a hunting excursion. The work is
all done by the squaws. Their clothing
consists of loose blanket and swaddle
occasionally you find one with an old shirt
On that was given to him by some sympa-
thetic individual. The Indians at one
time owned all of Kansas and part oil
Nebraska, but are now limited to reser-
vation OF twenty miles square. Many are
of the opinion that they have no reserva-
ton at all, and numbers of farms are al
ready opened on their so-called reserva-
ton. Idoubt not but these Indians viii
be removed in few years. Their num-
Der at present is but little more than
twelve hundred. Alcohol has done It's
work among the Aboriginees that were,
and is working wonders for those who
have thus far escaped, but bids fair at an
early day to annihilate the various Indian
tribes.

TThere never was time in the his
tory of Kansas that the inducements were
so strong for the emigrant to come to Kan
sas as at present. The authorizing of
land sales in this district viii throw open
a large proportion of the very best lands
in Kansas, and the fact of speedy ad-
justment of all political difficulties must
render certain all the advantages which
have been denied to Kansas in the past.
The proper elements ara already at work
to make Kansas great and . powerful
State. The struggles Of the past have
been sufficient to call out the enterprise,
the public spirit and intelligence of the
North, which now combine to make US
prosper. There never has been q State
formed under such auspices IS Kansas.
Never has there been an equal struggle
for freedom. History shows that every
element to extend slavery has sunk pow
erless before the superior energies Of her
people. They will be free. Our institu-
tions established, admitted a. State into
the Union, we can now so on in all that
tends to the greatness and glory of our
young and thriving Stats.-0sawctoBsss

pis,rio, Land osss.

We learn that instructions have been
received by the Register and Receiver of
the Land Office, not to permit parties en-
gagged in making pre-emption papers and
proofs to occupy any portion of the Regis
ter or Receivers office-thst "this priyi-
lege must at once be Withdrawn"
Pre-emptors will therefore be required
to have their proof papers prepared before
coming to the Office. Their csses will be
examined and disposed OF in the order in
which they present their papers TO the
Office.
Pre-emptors who settled previous to
the survey, must have filed within three
months from the date Of the survey in the
field. Those who may have settled after
the survey must file, or have Sled within
three months from the approval of the
plat, which is the evidences Of the legal
ity of the survey"
Hereafter, where parties mag not have
filed in time, they will b permitted in
contested cases, to submit proof as to the
date of settlement, as well a. other facts.
The word settlement having technical
meaning in the pre-emption Law, it is
made the duty of the local officers to judge
from the testimony submitted "spkeH the
settlement .0as made. "-Lecompton Democrat.

.0F The editor of the Kansas Tribune
is finding fault because he did not get the
printing of the laws passed at the late
session of the Territorial Legislature.
The printing of those laws amounts to
5000. Had it been given to Ross, he
intended to. have had it done at st. Louis,
thus taking that amount of hard cash out
of our already depleted Territory. Now,
it is done here, and that amount Of money
radiates off into the business channels of
the country. We believe in patronizing
home enterprise, yet Ross, one of the
loudest-mouthed Topekaites in Kansas,
proposed TO get that work done in slave
State, and deprive US of that amount of
circulating medium. Is he consistent,

that an Indian of that tribe. has just ar

BIZ VIZ. FosDICK.
Gentle harbinger of Spring,
Bird Of the heaven hue,
Bearing on thine airy wing,
Summers softest blue;
Oh! welcome back thy ruddy breast
And music breathing mouth,
Sweet herald! of the breezy West,
And of the spicy South.
The bright-hued courier of the sun!
Old Winter hears thy strain,
And drawing up his snowy cloak,
Goes slowly down the plain;
And in his tracks, in robes Cf green,
The Spring comes, dancing gay,
And april draws the curtain screen
That hides the bIushing May.
Oh! welcome back sweet Messenger!
Thou hast a guiding chat,
lis MemOry's needle, made to stir,
The compass Of thy heart!
Thou ridest in the sunshine's car,
Born on the South winds breath
Led By the icy. Polar Star,
And evenings in the West.
Sweet Envoy of the gentle Springi
Oh! bring me tidings, true,
That shall see a blOssoming
Upon life's tree anew.
But If thou canst not bring Love back,
Iprithee Bird, departi
For fairest skies will seem but black,
Without Spring at heart!

DEPARTMENT OF STATE, !
Washington, April 2. 1858 :

:
To the Hon. HENRY WILSON, Senate
Chamber:
SIR IL have had the honor to receive
your note of yesterday, with its accom-
paniments.
In reply 1 have to inform you that it is
not the practice of the Department to issue
any other paper than passports to persons
going abroad from this country. A pass
port, being a certificate of citizenship, has
neuer, since the formation Of the Govern
naeat, been granted to persons of color. No
change in this respect has taken place in
consequence of the decision of the Dred
Scott case. Returning You the inclosure
in your letter, have the honor to be. Sir,
your obedient servant LEWIS CASS.
The Boston Daily Bee reviews this posi-
ton Of Mr.. Cass, which it viii be well
enough for our new converts to Abolition
ism in Kansas, to study -
Passports hate been granted to per-
sons of color by the Department of State
and by our Ministers at the Court of ST.
James. In 1884, passport was granted
by the then Secretary of State, to Robert
Purvis and his wife, colored persons, re-
siding in Philadelphia, in the regular form,
and certifying that they were citizens Of
the United States This passport was OBJ
tanned through Robert Vaux, Esq, and
was granted without any objection on the
part of the Department of State; and it
was used by Mr.. PurVis, and respected as
much as any passport ever granted to .
