On this civilized" document was en-
dorsed " Mr.. Boatnot, Iudian) Chetope
Kansas. Boatnot is Judge Of the Indians"
Do you think you can cram any more
Of my stuff into your columns? Two
more items and I'm done.
1t has been talked and brtlited about
by some that Judge Caldwell was mimi.
cal to Maj. Boudnot and unfair in the
treatment OF his cause. But that opinion
does not obtain with Boudinot and his
friends. They are satisfied that Judge
Caldwell has no uifriendly feelings to-
wards him, and that he will, according
to his Judgment Of the law, give him all
the benefits of an equitable trial, an i'm.
partial charge, and Just judgment. Yet
they do not agree with his rendering Of
the law as regards Indian treaties and
the rights they confirm, But from his
past conduct OF the trial Of the case Of
Boudinot, his compelling Supervisor
Mcdonald to "stand aside" when he
would interfere before the Bar, his
promptly granting Boudinot a continu-
ance against the efforts ofhis prosecutors,
lead these friends to the opinion express
cd above
Gen. r. 3. Van talkenburgh, distin.
guished citizen of New York, who for
four years was n Member Of Congress
from that State, Brigadicr General in
the Federal Army in the war, who raised
as many troops as any other one man,
won laurels at 1Hhctdm, was one of the
Attornios for the Southern Cherokees in
1866, WAS recently Minister to Jepan,a and
has been offered the candidacy of the
Governor Of New York, and who is witt.
al a polished gentleman and good and
exceedingly interesting man, is now and
has been for some weeks guest of Maj
Boudinot His visit is one Of friendship
to Boudinot, but he is looking ut the
country too. lie will probably visit Van
Buren, with Boudinot in few days; and
if you don't brag too much on your lands,
waters, cotton, resources and advantages
generally, and don't pile on the agony Of
per cent too strong, he may chance to be-
come one Of you. He would be great
| acquisition, for he is true man. 1t
would be very fortunate thing for the
Indians, if, after the organization Of the
"Grand Council" and the erection of
the Indian Territory into a separate u.
s District Court, he should be appointed
Judge. lie is a just and able man. The
visit of such a man to Boudinot ought to
put to shame the malicious efforts of such
men as NJ MDonald, et al, to destroy and
dcfame him. D. w. w,
