A G0vERNMENT FoR THE INDIAN
TERRITORY.


On the 10th inst, Mr.. Harlan Introduced
into the Senate bill for the organization
NJ that portion OF the country known a
the " Cherokee nation" under Territorial
government, TO be known as "The Indian
Territory" The bill was road twice and
referred 70 the Committee on Indian Affairs.
Mr.. Doolittlo. from that committee, re-
ported II back on the 29d inst. with slight
amendments, and recommended lts pas
sage.
The necessity OF thIS measure is evident
from the deplorable condition OF tho. In
dlsns who are now entirely without gov
erDmont, the greater portion OF them hav-
ing Joined the rebels, leaving their wives
and children In the most hbject destitu-
tion, The Indian must have the protoc.
tlon Of the nation, and In no way can be
obtain It 60 completely % by the plan pro-
posed.
The bill provides, in the usual way, for
Territorial officers. Indians are 10 com
prise the Territorial council, It's presiding
officer to be appointed by the Governor.
A delegate In Congress is allowed, who is
TO be member Of one Of the Indian trioes.
The bill provides for efficient government,
and seeks 10 protect tho rights Of the L.
dians, ss nothing iS to bo done without
their consent and concurrence. Even the
laws, uSsges and tribal regulatIoAs, not In
conflict with the Constitution OF the United
States, are 10 be observed by the Territorial
judges. The bill provides for the abolition
Of slavery.
The adjacent States arc deeply interested
In the passage Of this bill, especially Mis-.
souri and Kansas. Their freedom from
confusion and blood dshed daring the coming
summer depends upon II. This Indlar
territory is the highway over which the
rebel hordes under Price have passed v
ravage those States, and urless sufficient
obstacles are placed In his way he will
make another lucursion during the coming
summer. The experience OF the people OF
Missouri and Kansas In military CON.
manders Is such as to all them with des.
Pondsncy, and the recent order OF Gen.
Canby, fol. the evacuation of Fort Smith
and Fort Gibson, revoked by the President,
flled them with alarm and dIsmSy. By
this territorial government they would
have Immediate communication with th,
Executive and Congress, which the mill
tary arm will not afford. They woulC
thus be sayed from that indifference or an
tlpathy Of which they have been often the
victims.
Price 10 now on the border OF Texas pre-
pairing for another inroad, and Q negloc
70 pass this bill viii give him simple op,
portunity to repeat the enormItIes OF lAs,
year. We trust that even In the multi.
plIclty OF business which presses upon tho
closing hOurs Of Congress-, . measure 90
just and one so vital TO tho people Of Mis-
sUuri aud Kansas will not be neglected.
We hope the Senate will at once take MP
ibis bill and give IL immediate actiou. II
Ii believed that Il would inert with no OBJ
stacle In the House. IL was faithfully ma
tured by the Com mittee on Indian Affairs,
and no philanthropic or patriotic mind car
object 70 its provisions.
