TO procure the ratification Of treaty made last
July. between Commissioner Taylor and Colonel

can, 10 an editorial on the subject, says:
' The intelligent portion of the civilized tribes
take great interest in the present movements
against the future disposition OF the wild rowing
tribes of the plains. Mr.. Reese, in this connec.
ton. states that last spring joint representation
from the Cherokee. Cboctaw, Chickssaw and
Creek nations called on General Grant at the war
Office in Washington, and made q proposition
agreeing to make peace with all the wild tribes
below the Arkansas, and receive them into their
reservations and teach them the arts of civilized
life, provided the government, on its part, would
guarantee and stand by them in every arrangement
to effect that object. They required that every
promise made 10 these wild Indians should be
kept and adhered to in good faith. This the In
dian representatives agree to do at one-twentieth
of the cost expended By the government under
the present system. General Grant seemed to
approve Of the general idea, but this was the last
Of it, and no further progress was made In the
matter.n .lI11
