I wran8le between the Senate side OF the nation
a representation Of the Commonwealth and
! the House side. II seems that i band OF Shaw
nee Indiana, headed By one B1sck Bob, their
Chief, received, in 1854, thirty-tive thousand
acres Of land IN johnson County, Southeastern
| Kansas; or, in other words, nbout two hun
| dred acres to each man in the tribe. Tho
treaty eising tho lands specified that they
should be held in common By the band, but
that if any one Indian wanted 10 take bis land
i'll seveIalty he might do Ho, and obtain
patent from the Indian Commissioner ut WASH
ington. Nov, during the war, Quantreus
rebel band drove the Black Dobs out OF their
5cseryat'on, and scattered them over the In
dim Country. It WIS then revealed to certain
Kansas politicians and spectators, tLAt they
might take advantage OF tie scEeralty clause
in the treaty afore-named; and, accordingly,
when the Black Dobs raturned, after the
war, they found the 1nor. available por-
watered, tho heavily -tinibcred acta-detashed
from the country, and this detachment had
been effected BY manipulating the Int]ian Bn-
rean in the city Of Washington. Si1ty-nins
requests for separate patents, and these p.t-
enta were obtained by = Congressman and
quietly forwarded to the city Of Lawrence,
where they were secretly kept elcven months
IN tue vaults Of the First National Bank there,

the spectators and politicians who had secured
the Land patents were negotiating with tho
1ndiAns, to the disadvantage OF the latter, go
cealed patent would be ready to be brought
forward in the nick Of timo in the closing up Of
the bargain. But this was not the worst.
About ~elvchundred unsuspecting immigrants
had meantime been deluded into tho belief
that i they would occupy tho deserted Black

thereon. they should h.rc theright Of pro-c,np+-

made quarter Of i million improvements
