CATTLE.-We have several times allude q
to the cattle speculations which are now GO
ing on in The Southern and Southwestern
part of this State. We have nothing that
would warrant Us in making charges, but
if current reports are anything like true,
there is demand for something to be done
on the part of the Government. to put
stop to it, and that spesily. Our Southern
frontier is swarming with these spectators.
And one reports that 1900 head Of cat
tie have passed north this summer. We
are informed that they are being driven out
of the Indian country and Texas in droves
of thousands By Indians from the plains,
and that white men pay them for doing it,
and they Immediately run them north If
the rebels in Indian Territory and Texas
have forfeited their right to their property
it does not belong to cattle spectators but
to the Government,
If half The reports We hear are true, the
subject IS one that ought to be attended to
at once.
This thing will certainly bring trouble
upon Southern Kansas from the Texans and
Indians, in the future. They viii not sub
nit 10 having their stock driven off without
retaliation. ~ozsar
