One day last week, Mr.. Farms
worth, of Illinois, reported to the Z.
s. House Of Representatives, from
the Post Office Committee, q bill to
prevent improper matter, such as
Gift Enterprise circulars. &c, from,
being sent through Ahe mails. He
asked that the bill be put upon its
passage. So good a thing it was,
that it ought to have been passed
forthwith. But Mr.. Wood, a Demo
cratic Member from New York City,
objected; and therefore the bill had
to wait its turn, and SO may never
come up. This case is fair sample.
Mr.. Wood, elected by the rogues and
rowdies 0f New York City, looks
solely to their interest.

cent. il also provides for setting
aside yearly one hundred and fifty
millions of Customs receipts to pay
the interest on the Debt and to raise
funds for reducing the principal.
1t is reported that Wall Street
business men consider this bill the
best and most practical that has yet
been introduced on this subject, but
they don't like the free banking
clause. Advices from Washington
represent that the bill has been
thoroughly canvassed In both Houses
of Congress, that it is unanimously
accepted as the great financial party
measure of the session, and that
there is nodoubt of it's final adoption.
There may, however, be aianther
phase to the subject before the bill
becomes law.

At the least, the President and his
Quaker adiutauts have settled the
question that the Government must
.iecOwni1e che Indian people a. hn-
man, as people with souls and capa.
ble Of being made Intelligent: and
the next step is to be trial to prove
whether they can be raised to the
plane Of self-gOvernment. The In
dian and Territorial Committees OF
the House are each discussing bills
to organize a system Of civil govern
mcnt among the Indians. The bills
propose to make what is now called
the Indian Territory, a Territory for
governmental purposes, with Gov
ernor and other usual offers. The
bill Of Cu!lom proposes as name
for the Territory, the name Of Lin
coin; and Van Horns calls it Okla
hOnia. Each bill gives suffrage to
the Indians. The legislative author
ity is vested in a Council. Each
tribe or nation, whatever its size, Is
to have one member in this body,
and an additional member for each
900 Indians above 500 in the tribe,
while several Councillors are to be
chosen by the Indians themselves.
| One section Of each bill provides that
every male over the age of q, be-
longing to any tribe, shall have the
right to vote and hold Office, and
there shall be no abridgement in this
right because Of race or color. This
Council has powers similar to those
granted Territorial Legislatures.
The prospects are that at least one
of these Committees will report fa.
vOrably upon the proposed bill, and
that il may carry q majority OF the
House. That, the idea Of making
citizens Of the most advanced Indi-
ans will encounter no hostility from
the President, is evident enough
from the language he used the other
day to the delegation Of Creeks and
ChOctaws, when he said "1ie had
long thought the two nations which
/ they reprcsented-all those civilized
nations in the country-should he
come citizens, and be entitled to Tho
rights Of citizens"
1t will he sometime before the
world will believe that the wild
savages of the West will lay down
the t0mahawk for the pen, and frame
and carry out laws; but with the in
telligent Creeks and ChOctaws lead
ing the way, the savage tribes may
in time be led into something like

+. We hope you will like the Voter
in its present size and form. Having
been 50 long the smallest paper in
the County, it is now the largest AS
large as the largest County poper in
the state, and giving more reading
matter than many city payers. The

remain the same. 9tE
Running q Newspaper is in some

private business somewhat Of pub
lie nature. Its patrons may justly
like to know how it prospers.
When we came here, not quite
three years ago, there was scarcely a
gooi type in the Office; and how the
piper had formerly looked, its read
ers may remember. We Immediate
~ bought new type, &C.; and since
then the paper could be read, at any
rate.
FUImerly the Office had to 60
knocking around town, from pillar
to post, wherever room could be
rented; and in a very few mouths we
found ourselves compelled to build.
We had promised to enlarge the
paper as soon as we well could. But
the press in the Office was not big
enough to print larger paper; and
presses are too costly to keep lying
around useless. For the last year or
more we had been trying to get a
larger one, and a few weeks ago sue
ceeded; and now at the earliest posi-
BILE day, the paper is enlarged.
Paying up debts on the old Office,
buying new type, putting upa build
ing, and charging the paper, within
three years-we have done the best
we could.
To the many friends, throughout
the County, who have aided and
sustained their County paper thus
far, we return our earnest thanks;
and we shall still do our best to make
the Voter deserve their goodwill and
support. ........,,. s.....
