There seems no doubt that bill next
week will be passed fer the admission of
Virginia, and soon thereafter the United
States Senators and Representatives Will be
sworn in, with the exception of Messrs
Booker and McKinzie, whose seats are con-
tested. 1t is probable the admission of
Virginia will be coupled with the condition
precedent that the State constitution shall
not be amended by the present Legislature.

purpose of transacting the business of their
respective tribes before the department.

plished by their agents, and the money
which would be expended bringing them
here, would be used to much better advan-
tage ID buying them provisions, agricul-
tural implements and annuities.
