THE INDIAN COUNCIL.
Judge James Steele, Acting Chief Clerk Of
the Indian Bureau, leaves tomorrow TO at
tend the council of the Indians now on the
Little Arkansas river, TO be held on the 4th
proximo. There are indications that treaties
of very desirable nature will be ratified.
The Tribune's Washington special says
that the Commissioners appointed by the
President to negotiate treaties with the In.
dians of the Southwest, and who are now in
council with them at Fort Smith, have mo-
titled Secretary Harlan, Of the Interior De-
partment, that they have sscertained John
Ross, an educated Cherokee and formerly
chief Of the nation, was rebel emisssry
during the rebellion, and by means of his
superior educGtion induced many Of his
people to adjure allegiance and join the con-
federacy. He still claims to be tn chief Of
the Cherokees and as such is using subtle
influence to poison the minds of the In
dians who are truly loyal and who are dis
posed to enter into permanent peace with
the United States. Believing him to be an
enemy to the government, and that he does
not represent any considerable portion of
his people, the Commission has refused to
recognize him as the chief of the Cherokees,
and have notified the Secretary of the
Treasury of their action in the matter.
The President having been consulted on
the subject approved the action of the Com
mission, and through Secretary Harlan ap-
praised the members of the Commission to
that effect and instructed them to negotiate
with only such parties Is are desirOus of re-
suming. their former relations with the gov
ernment. ggo 5r, 4 2n-
