THE PLAINS.

ST. LOUIS, June 9.-The Republicans
Leavenworth special says Col. Leaven-
worth, Agent for the Kiowa, Comanch-
es and Apaches Indians, arrived there
last evening, from Fort Cobb, having
been out with his tribes several months.
Col. Leayenworth has heretofore been
a strong friend of these Indians, de-
Tending them again all charges Of
wrong, aud blaming the whites for all
the acts of hostility that have been
committed. But now he says these
tribes have violated their treaties and
obligations, and he will advise the with
holding of their annuities and the pros
ecution of the most vigorous measures
against them. BE further states that
they are constantly committing depre-
daIions which renders 1t impossible for
the settlers to remain in their vicinity
with any safety. 1t Is said strong recon-
mendRtions will be forwarded from
reau, and place the management of
Indian affairs in the hands OF the mill
tary authorities.
The Democrats Topeka, Kansas, spe-
clal says: The band of Cheyennes that
a 4ew days since made a raid on the
Kaw reservation, left on Friday after
noon after a little skirmish with the
Kaws, in which nobody was hurt.
Their passage through the settlements
caused great deal of alarm to the set
tiers, but they did not harm the whites
except killing few cattle and hogs for
food.
General Sheridan has sent 1,5OO
stand of arms and ammunition to the
frontier to organize and arm the set
tiers for their protection.
The Democrat learns from resPonsi-
BILE party that the recent treaty with
the Usage Indians by which eight mill
lion acres of land was ceded to the
Leavenworth, Lawrence q Kansas
Railroad Company for 25c per acre,
meets with great disfavor in Southern
Kansas. Other companies desired 70
purchase the land, but the commits
sioners refused the proposition.
General Blair, representing the Mis-
souri,, Fort Scott d Santa Fe r. II. Co.,
which starts Southwest from Sedalia,
in this State, and runs the entire
length of these lands, east and west,
offered two millions OF fdollars for these
lands and in addition agreed to give
every sixteenth section to the State for
school purposes, provide 160 acres free
of cost to every halfbreed who might
desire to remain, and to secure to every
settler his land at one dollar and a
quarter per acre.
The Commissioners would, however,
entertain no proposition on she subject
of Mr.. Blair's proposition and the
Commissioners reply will be published
1t is claimed that the Government, the
Indians, the people of Kansas and the
settlers on these lands have been de-
frauded in the interest OF q single r. r.
Co., and that lands enough 10 build
three Railroads have been given to one.

Tho gunboat Minstrel will be sta
toned for duty between Prescott and

The German Society complains that
the Government has ceased to forward
from Quebec emigrants without means,
and they are left destitute on the char
ity OF the public. The Government
holds they are merely passengers to
the Western States, and ought not be a
burden TO the people OF Canada.
The pontoOns at Quebec are being
put in order, and additional arma-
ments provided at Isle Aux NoiN.
