THE INDIAN TERRITORY.

Mr.. Editor In your comments upon the
article copied from the Charleston Mercury, in
yesterdays Spy, you recommend that paper
to "leave the Indians at peace in their terrific
ry," and endeavor in some better way to build
up the interests Of South Carolina. This is
good advice to proslavery organ, but the
facts stated in the quotation. xeterred to, are
deeply significant to anti slavery men. 1t is
true, that causes are at work in the Indian
Territory, which will naturally issue in an adj
ditional slave state in this Union. The ques-
ton is discussed among the Indians them.
selves and it is high time the north was wide
awake to the importance of securing that
beautiful and fertile territory to freedom. The
Indian territory lies in the latitude and neigh
borhood OF the hottest pro-slavery tanatcism.
Slavery is powerfully intrenched there.
In 1913, there were from 800 to 1900 slaves
among the Cherokecs, and about 1000 among
the Choctaws, making II total Of about the
value OF three million dollars. The most strn-
gent and cruel laws prevail there, forbddng
emancipation, fOrbidding all instruction of ne
groes IN reading, writing, or singing, forbid
ding all preaching against slavery, and making
1t great crime to favor its abolition. Slavery
is continually on the increase there. As fast
as the Indians become christianized, the natu-
rally become shareholders. The spread OF the
gospel among them has tended to increase the
number ef slaves. Such is the testimony of
an impartial witness, Rev. s. b. Treat, who
was specially sent out by the American Board
OF Commissioners for Foreign Missions, in the
year 1913, to investigate this subject. Scores
OF shareholders are members of the Mission
Churches, and not word is ever lisped by
inc missionaries against the practice Of slave
holding. SO afllrms the same witness, Mr.
Treat, the Secretary Of the Board. The terri
torial church, therefore, as well as the state,
Is intensely pro-savery. Some Of the mis-
slonarics have written home to the states,
strongly corroborating Mr.. Treat in his state
ment mat the preaching Of Christianity there
has multiplied the number of slaves and slave.

TRAGIcAL RESULT OF THE SEYMOUR RE-

charge of the military at the reception of Gov.
Seymour, on Tuesday, Both ult., died at Meri.
den, Monday. The last three days were days
of intense suffering, and death was a welcome
relief The Hartford Times says in reference
TO this sad case -
"The accident might have been the result of
lndlscretion, but it was evident that it was not
intentional The great pressure of the crowd
mad prevented the progress of the proceedings.
and the urgent appeals of the marshals and
sentinels had no effect in opening a sufficient
space Tor the ceremonies attending the address.
es Of the occasion. In order to clear this snace
bayonets were presented, and the crowd nress'
ed back. No officer or soldier desired or in.
tended to burt any one in the least, and still in
the movement, young Banks was hurt in the
side by the point Of a bayonet. The move.
ment in presenting bayonets was hasty and in.
judicinus. All regretted il in a moment. and
none more than the military. 1t is not known
whose bayonet IL was that made the wound
nor to what company it belonged. Nor is il at
all probable that the individual who held it
knows to this day that il was by his hand the
wound was inflicted. or this, we believe, the
friends Of the young man are satisfied"

Meeting of the school Board.


The public schools commenced their fall
session on Monday last, most of them with
full numbers, some crowded to overflowing.
The following changes of teachers are noticed:
Miss Tracy goes into the High School, in place
of Mr.. Graves, resigned last term, at salary
of $500; Miss Knowlton is engaged as teacher
in drawing; Sarah Wheelock at Quinsigamond,
in place of Mary C. Brown, resigned; Cor
nelia NJ. Draper in the new Front street pri-
mary; and Hannah Merrill in the Thomas
street primary in place of NJ. c. Dudley, re-
signed; Hester N. Greene takes charge of the
Pleasant street secondary.
AT the meeting of the committee, last even
ing, the Superintendent was instructed to stay
proceedings in filling the vacancies in Lees
vile for one month, and it was voted to give
its pupils the opportunity to attend the schools
at New Worcester. An order was adopted es-
tablishing the new primary school upon the
Common, dating from Monday, 9th inst The
subject of changing the time of the annual ex-
animation and promotions from winter to
spring, was introduced by the Superintendent,
who stated several obvious reasons for
the change, and the special committee in
whose hands the matter was left were in
structed to report at the next meeting. Pro
posas for furnishing school books to the city,
in accordance with the law of the last legisla-
ture, were received from E. Mellen, Jr., VIVA.
II. Sanford. s Thompsoll s. Co., and William
Allen. The Mayor and Superintendent
authorized to conclude contract with one of
the parties.
The subject of changing the time at which
children may be admitted to the public schools
from four to five years, was brought up in the
form of a report from the special committee to
which it had been referred The matter was
brought to the attention of the Board througha
communication from the City Council suggest
ing the question, among Others, whetheri would,
or would not be expedient to make the change
The committee, without going into full con-
sideration of the subject expressed their de-
cided conviction that it would be ultimately
better for all, if young children were kept
from school till a considerably later period
than that which the rules OF the Beard now
prescribe But at the same time they were
of the opinion that it was matter which
should be left to the Judgment and discretion
of parents. They proposed no change in the
present rules of the schools. The report was
accepted.
The board adjourned to the first Tuesday in
October, at p m.
