INDIAN AFFAIRs.-The Times special dis
patch says: The Commissioner of Indian
Affairs has received communication from the
principal Chief of the Choctaw nation and
Governor of the Chicasaw nation, stating that
their people, TO some extent, are disorganized,
and need charity in their social and political
condition. They ask that pending the nego
tiation and ratification of treaties now under
consideration, some means be taken by the
United States to secure their people domestic
tranquility and protection against outside ag
erosion. They state further that, in concud-
ing an abandonment of the right of property in
slaves, they don't wish to be considered as
abandoning all interest in the present and
future welfare of the negroes. If the slaves
are TO be secured their freedom BY the United
States Government. they desire that it shall be
on such terms as shall make their freedom as
valuable to them as it can be, consistent with
the rights of their late owners, aud the peace
and we'll being of the community To this
end, they ask that competent agent Of the
Freedmen's Bureau be sent to each nation,
with instructions to provide for and exercise
proper control over the freedmen.
WHo WILL BE RESPONSIBLE Horace May
nard, of Tennessee, tells the people of this State
that nothing is so likely to hasten the era of
negro voting as opposition to Government
measures by the whites Of the South" This
is the exact truth, says the Oregoniau. If the
whites will do their duty to the Government
they can reject or have negro suffrage as they
may desire. But if they continue disloyal, the
Government must seek support wherever it can
be found. Southern nad-caps agitated slave
ry until they abolished it; it now remains to
be seen whaiber they are determined to have
negro suffrage as well.

The Sacramento Union, and several other
papers, express their disapproval of "the system
based on the pretty but impracticable theory
of choosing judicial officers when the public
mind is free from political distractions" The
separation of the Judicial from other State
elections has certainly proved useless expense,
as political distractions" are the only things
that will call out full popular vote-the true
test Of patriotism and capacity.

THE CITY.

PRoyosr GUARD DUIr, in this city, involves the
employment of an unnecessarily large number Of
men, and the attention of the Secretary Of War
should be called TO the fact. There are TOO many
prisons, and too many prison hospitals, besides the
numerous public dspots and Offices, requiring the
presence of military guards. Some OF them ought
TO be discontinued, even at the risk of dSplacing
sundry officers, attendants and attaches from COM
Portable positions We suppose that the Libby pri-
son, portion of it, at least, must be retained in
use until The exchange of prisoners is completed
aud even Afterwards, as a receptacle for the Yam
KEGS We expect to capture in the impending battles
near Richmond. Castle Thunder must also, We.
presume, be kept for the longer confinement OF in
tractable ruiia1s, untred offenders and friendless
vagabonds; but beyond these places there seems
to be but little actual need, under existing circum-
stances, for other als prisons to be guarded by
armed sentinels. An Investigation would soon de-
eide.
