d" L0 the Poor I1dIaa Grshls Sermon
on that Text.

WASHINGTON, January 30.-The
President sent the following message
to Congress to-day;
To the Senate and House Of Representa-
tives:
1 herewith transmit an official CODY
Of the proceedings Of the council OF
Indian tribes held at OCmulgee In De-
cember last, which resulted in the
adoption Of a declaration of rights and
a constitution for their government,
together with a copy Of the report OF
the Commissioner Of Indian Affairs
and the views Of the Secretary Of the
Interior thereon. 1t would seem
highly desirable that the civilized
Indians of the country should
be encouraged ia establishing for
themselves q form of loyal territorial
government compatible with the con-
stitutiOn of the United States and with
the previous custom toward cOmmu-
mites lying outside State limits.
concur in the views expressed by the
Secretary of the Interior, that it would
not be advisable to receive new terri
tories. With the constitution as now
framed, so long as territorial form
Of government exists, it prescri bes that
Congress shall hold power over all
legislative actiOn Of the Territories,
and that the Executive shall, with
the advice and consent Of the Senate,
have power to appoint Governors and
Judicial officers and possibly some
Others in the Territories. This is the
first indication Of the aborigines de-
string to adopt our form of govern
ment, and it is highly desirable that
they should become selfsustaining.
Christianized and civil
ized. If successful ia this their first
at territorial government, we
may hope for the gradual con-
centratiOn Of other Indian tribes in
the new Territory. therefore re-
commend as close adherence to their
wishes as consistent with safety. 1t
might be well to limit the appoint
ment Of all territorial officers appointed
by the Executive TO native citizens of
the territory. If any exceptions be
made TO this rule, would recon-
mend that it should be limited to the
judiciary. 1t Is confidently to be
hoped that the policy now being pur-
sued toward the Indian, viii fit them
for self government, and make them
sure TO settle along with people Of
their own race, where they can enjoy
full privilege IN q civil and enlight-
ened government

IA Case for the n. Y. Tribune.

CHICAGO, January 30.-The follow
ing are the particulars of the recent
bloody tragedy at Rock Grove, Vim
ebagO county:
A farmer, residing between Spring

NEW YORK, January 3O.--Several
weeks ago George Henry Starr, aged
sixteen, son Of the well-knoWn micro
scOpist, committed suicide at his gar

BrOOding over religious questions
rendered him insane and in a paroxy-

Alfred GarrOwy, aged twenty-five,
was firm friend of young Starr and
was with him the evening previous
to his death; he took the death Of his
friend so hard that he committed sui

ALMOST A MURDER.-On last Satur.
day evening a man named VIM.
Brown, aged about fifty years, and
young man named Sutley, residing in
Jackson tp,, this county, and heretofore
good neigh5ors, had quarrel which
was ended by Sutley stabbing Brown
with pen-knife in the back immedi.
ately under the right shoulder blade,
penetrating the right lung. The his
tory of the affair as related by a son of
the injured man is as follows: On the
day mentioned above, Brown and Sut.
ley were in this city, on business, the
former on horseback. Brown returned
home on foot, and after dark Sutley
rode up to Browns house, apparently
in an intoxicated condition, aud COM
menced jumping his horse over the
garden fence. Mrs. Brown and an
other lady came out and demonstrated
with Sutley against his actions, when
he insulted them in the most outrageous
manner. Mr.. Brown then appeared,
and after a few words, the two men
commenced fighting. The ladies in
terfered and had succeeded in pulling
Brown away, when Sutley stabbed him
