Message from the President Concerning
the 0cmulgee Council and COnstitu-

The President sent to Congress, on
Monday, the following message:
To the Senate and House of Representatives
transmit herewith an official copy of the
proceedings OF the Council Of Indian tribes
held at Ocmulgee in December last, which
resulted in the adoption of declaration of
rights and Constitution for their govern
mont; together with a copy of the report of
the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and the
views OF the Secretary of the Interior there
on. 1t would seem highly desirable that the
civilized Indians of the country should be
encouraged in establishing for themselves a
form of Territories Government compatible
with the Constitution of the United States,
and with previous custom toward communi-
ties lying outside of State limits. ! concur
in the views expressed by the Secretary of
the Interior, that it would not be advisable
to receive the new Territory with the Consti-
tuition as now framed. So long as terrific
rial form of government is preserved, Con-
gress should have the power of approving or
disappearing all legislative action of the
Territory, and the Executive should, with
the advice and consent of the Senate, have
power to appoint the Governor and judicial
officers, and some others of the Territory.
This is the first indication of the aborigines
desiring TO adopt our form of government,
and it is highly desirable that they become
self-sustaining, self-relying, Chrstianized
and civilized. If successful in their first at
tempt at territorial government we may
hope for concentration of other Indians in
the new Territory. / thereforerecommend as
close adherence to their wishes as is con-
sistent with safety. 1t might be well to limit
the appointment of all territorial officers ap-
pointed by the Executive, to native citizens
of the Territory. If any exception were
made to this rule, recommend that it should
be limited to the judiciary
1t is confidently hoped that the policy now
being pursued toward the Indians will fit
them for selfgovernment, and make them
desire to settle among people of their own
race, where they can enjoy the full privileges
of civil and enlightened government.

A Newly Married Woman Kills Herself
by Opening the Large Veins Of Her
From the Oincinnati OhronIcIe.


Coroner Underhill this morning held
an inquest on the body of a woman
named Catherine H. Weight, residing at
No. SS Twelfth street, who committed
suicide by opening the large veins OF
her arms with pair of scissors.
The evidence goes to show that her
husband, machinist in this city, had
paid his addresses TO the young girl in
New York. She was of good family,
and he representing himself in easy cir
cumstances, with comfortable home to
take her to, induced her to marry him.
They came TO this city some three
months since, and took up their resi-
dence on Twelfth street. 1t was not
until the girl arrived here that she dis
covered the true character of her hus-
band. The man was q machinist, but it
was difficult to get work, and he had
absolutely nothing to support her with.
Not being used to want, this circum
stance gave her great trouble, and she
soon became melancholy, and finally so
sick as to require the attention of a ply
sician. On Thursday last, in an unu-
sual tit of melancholy, she seized pair
OF scissors lying upon table near her,
and succeeded in cutting her arms SO
severely as to open the largest veins.
She bled profusely, and when found by
her husband was so exhausted as to be
scarcely able to speak The services Of
a physician were called in, but all at
tempts to restore her were futile, and
after lingering in great pain she expired
at few minutes past ii o'clock last
night.

Of Champaign to be held as q pledge for
the payment of war expenses Alsace
and Lorraine to be yielded to Germany;
Paris to receive no garrison for protec-
ton, the city to be confined to the Ma
tional Guards, who will not be disarmed
France will then be left to reconstruct
the Government. These propositions
are combatted on the side of the French
as too severe. Bismarck insisted that
the surrender should be signed by the
whole Provisional Government. Nj.
Favre replied that it would be impossi-
BILE to bind the Bordeaux Government.
Bismarck then said if the Republic re-
iects the terms and the Empire accepts,
YOU must choose between the acceptance
and the restoration of the Empire. Nj.
Favre has departed for London.

1t is stated on apparently good au-

DEATH FROM LovE.-The city of Ham
iAon Ohio, was recently thrown into
quite commotion over the suicide of q
young man named A. Hagerman, q
brother-in.law of John B. Cornell,
Cashier Of the First National Bank of
that city. Being engaged in no active
business, he has spent much of his time
in the bank At about 10 o'clock he
went into the bank-room in apparently
the best of spirits, and, walking behind
the counter, picked up a revolver that
lay in one of the drawers and seated
himself in chair Immediately behind
the bookkeeper, who was at his desk.
Unbottoning his vest, he placed the
muzzle of the revolver to his bosom.
fired, and fell corpse into the arms of
Peter Murphy, who rushed to his assist
ance. We have been unable to learn
the cause, although it is said that lady
is concerned in the case, and that it is
another case of death from love. Hager-
man was engaged to be married to a
young lady of Hamilton in couple of
weeks. She tainted away almost as life
less as her dead lover on hearing of his
tragic end. Financial matters, and his
inability to keep up with the styles of
the day at so important a period of his
life, are said to have so preyed upon his
mind as to bring on the insane disease
which caused him to put an end to his
existence.

THE Union Pacific Railroad claims
not to have missed connection this
winter. There have been eleven snow
storms on the mountains this season,
some of them very severe, but snow
fences and sheds protect the track efiec-
tually. The snow fences extend for
many miles along the road in the more
exposed mountainous regions, and in
the Sierras the sheds almost cover the
track for distance of thirty miles.

Gen. Sheridan has made acquisitions
for 10000 rations, and it is stated that
he has ordered 1000 tents for the use
of the houseless.
The churches and remaining public
buildings have been thrown open, and
but comparatively few are without shell

Most of the railroads leading out of
the city have authorized the Relief
Committees to issue unlimited orders
for passes to the destitute who wish to

availing themselves of the opportunity.
TROOPS FOR PROTECTION.
Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan has telegraphed
to Omaha and the military stations in
that section of country for | 200 United
States troops, to be sent to Chicago at
once by special trains. These hoops
are expected to reach Chicago to-day,
and will be distributed throughout the
remaining residence and business por-
tons of the city as protection against
incendiarism, robbery, pillage, etc. 1t
is not improbable that the city will be
placed under martial law.

An Old Story RetOld.
From the London Times.

A correspondent furnishes us with the
following account of an incident which
has just occurred in garrison town on
the banks of the Rhine. On certain
day party of German officers were
dining together, when dispute said
to be about lady-arose between two
of them. Words finally ran so high that
both declared they could only be salts
fed with bloodshed, and, as dueling is
not allowed, they adopted another hor-
rihle means Of ending their quarrel. 1t
was agreed that they should stake their
lives on a throw of the dice, and which
ever threw the lowest number was
bound by his word of honor to blow his
own brains out. The unlucky number
was thrown by brave young officer
who had gone through the late cam
paign with distinction and had been re-
warded with the Iron Cross. He at
once prepared for his fate by writing a
letter to his Colonel, who happened to
be absent, and by making his will, and
then, the very same evening, fulfilled
his melancholy promise. His death and
the military funeral he was given Gre
ated little excitement in the town, but
apparently the feeling uppermost in the
minds Of the inhabitants was that ex-
pressed by the landlord of the hotel,
who said to me, A." 1t was a very funny
duel" The other actor in the tragedy
discussed the event quite calmly the
next day at the table d'hote.
