HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES u. Sd
WAsHISGroN, April 21, '68.


am frequently applied to for my opinion
in reference to the present and prospective
condition of the tract of land designated on
the map of Kanzas, as reservation to the
New. York Indians. 1t has not hitherto
been in my power to afford any information
at all calculated to quiet the solicitude of the
squatters upon the land. The investigation
of the subject by Congress has now, how
ever, reached point from which, it seems
to me, the result may be readily anticipated.
Under these circumstances, would esteem
it a favor if you would publish this commu-
nication for the two-fold purpose of reliev
ing me, and of affording the speediest and
fullest information to such of my constitu
ents as may feel an interest in the subject.
At an early day of the session intro
duced into the House of Representatives
resolution, instructing the standing commit
tee on Indian Affairs, to enquire into the
condition of these lands, DC. The resolu
ton was passed. The committees is
usual In such cases-referred the matter to
the Indian office, In the Department of the
Interior Within a few days report has
been obtained from that Office Il provides
that three hundred and twenty acres of this
land shall be set apart in severality, to such
of the reserves as have an actual residence
thereon; being in all ana informed, not
more than dozen families. The residue of
the tract, to be open for settlement under
the operation of the pre-emption laws, the
non-residents having forfeited their interest
thereon. Five thousand dollars is appropri-
ated to carry the arrangement into effect.-
This disposition of the subject is predicated
on an opinion of the Attorney General, that
actual residence was necessary under the
treaty of 1888, to secure the interests of
the reserves. am assured that bill viii
be promptly brought forward by the com
mittee, embracing the above features of
the report. Doubtless it will pass Congress.
may be permitted to observe in this con-
nection, that the speedy Reimbursement
of the land by the action of Congress seems
to be so entirely certain, that would have
no hesitation in recommending the squatter.
who may be prepared in other respects, to
put in crops and improve his claim.

The English Bribe.

Contrary to first reports the bribe of Mr..
English to the people of Kanzas to accept
the Lecompton Constitution, does not con-
tain any land at all for railroad purposes,
and the lands for School and University pur-
poses, aud building State capitol, are ac
tually less than the amounts given to all the
new States for like purposes. 1t is in fact
''bare hook" that is held before us to ''bite."
1t provides that sections sixteen and thirty
six of each township shall be given for
school purposes. This amounts to nothing
whatever, as those townships are given to
the people of Kanzas by the Organic Act,
and cannot be taken away. The bill further
provides that seyenty-two sections shall be
given for State University, and ten sec
tions to pay for public buildings; all the
salt springs in the State, not exceeding
twelve in number. and six sections of land
with each. and five per cent. of the proceeds
of the sales of public lands for the construc-
ton of State roads.
Mr.. Buchanan's party in Congress affect
to think that the people of Kanzas will at
this hour, when the fruit of their sacrifices
is within their reach s.sell their birth right
for mess of pottage." We say ''qfeet to
think for they really think no such thing.
They knOa0 that the people of Kanzas viii
trample their bribe under foot rather than
vote for the Lecompton Constitution. They
knew that there were men in the Free State
party-men who had held high places in the
hearts of the people, who were ready to take
"Leeompton" in any shape for the sake of
Office. But they also knew tnat the iniu-
ence of these men weighed not feather in
the balance against the rights of the people.
Insulting though this proposition is to the
people of Kanzas, its passage in Congress
was an essential defeat of the Administra-
ton. Millions of Executive patronage were
not sufficient to bribe the peoples represen-
tatiyes to commit the last act of despotism
against the people of Kanzas by the passage
of Lecompton in It's original form. For this
let us be thankful The civil and political
rights of the people still receive some pro-
lection at the hands of the National Con-
gress.

Voting for the Lecompton Constitution
We have heard it intimsted and even pos
itively asserted, that certain 'tleading men"
so-called, members of the Free State party,
were intending TO ''eome out'' in favor oi
voting for the Lecompton Ordinance as sub
mitted by Congress-in other words. voting
for the Lecompton Constitution We know
that the idea has been seriously entertained
by certain men who have hitherto occupied
a prominent position in Kanzas. We know
that one of them has said that he would ac
cept of the Office of Senator under the Le-
compton Constitution !: and We know that
there is desire in the minds of such men
that the people of Kanzas would bite the
hook which has been presented them. But
Notwithstanding all this we have given them
credit for too much sagaeity to suppose that
they would ever psl6liety recommend the
people to vote for the Lecompton Constitu-
ton IA G,sy shape. Their influence is all
powerful when exerted on the side of the
Right but when used for the wrong it is
weak.
The struggle in Ksnzas for civil liberty,
has not been entirely frnitless. The people
are net prepared at this time. on any prsiext,
to recognise and endorse the monstrous doc
trines of chattel slavery enunciated in the
Lecompton Constitution. Threats and brides
they treat alike. And.those men who think
tosbribe them to forget the past viii fnd

OBITUARY POETRY.

The supplication in the prayer book against
Sudden DEATH" must be doubly devout in
the minds of those who consider that it is one
OF the most terrible circumstances attending
death by accident, that the deceased y gen.
orally subjected to second "saking off, at
the band of some emorseless doegerel-monger.
Here is the last murder We have seen Of that
sort, copied from the Woodstock, w., STAN
dard. which, we trust, in respect Of poetry, is
not the standard of taste and talent in the
Green Mountain State:
Charles H Smith will be no more
With us, upon his native shore.
He's left his tender parents dear,
Brothers and sisters which were near.
He 10 the river did repair
To bathe, and for church prepare.
Soon in the water he was found,
Life was extinct, and he was drownd.
Friends and physicians soon were there,
Bestowd on him the best Of care.
But all was done, could not avail,
Alas! who can with death prevail
He was one and twenty years Of age,
When called to leave this mortal stage,
OF two sisters he had been bereft,
He's gone TO them--a sick one left.
That his brothers and sisters were "near"
to him as we'll as dear, makes 9 pathetic as
we'll as extraordinary feature in this case; but
that poor Smith should have been drowned
after life was extinct" is an aggravation Of
horror in decesse by water, we'll worthy OF
the poet who describes it. Luckily "the dull,
cold ear Of death" is insensible to the caco-
phony of graveyard elegists.--Boston Post.
