The Fight Over the 0klahoma--Colonel
Boudlnot Wide Awake.
Correspondence of the st. Louis Times.l
WASHINGTON, Dec. III.

W ASHIkGrON, Dec. IL.
The Cherok e Indian delegation has
returned to the eity minus two Of its old
members, but still retaining the lofty
Adail and the quiet, precise, gentlemanly
Mr.. Ross as its chief, in place of the ven
erable Lewis Downing, VINO has s,one to
dwell with the great spirit. They are al
ready hard at work, trying to defeat any
bill organizing their nation into terri
torial form Of government, but the
friends Of that measure are also on the
ground, and with the warm Endorsement
of the Presidents message to assist them
there is but little doubt of its passage
this session in some form. Yesterday
had been set, at the last session OF Con.
prcss. for the consideration OF this bill,
but the Indian Appropriation bill was
shown the preference, and there was con
siderable feeling Of pleasure manifested
by the Cherokee delegation and their at
tornev in the prospect OF an indefinite
postponement of the bill but the pro
pressive and very popular Cherokee,
Colonel Boudinot, who is anxious for
congressional action on this matter, ana
ever attentive to what he feels to be the
best interest Of his people, succeeded in
having, through his mssy friends IN tue
House, the 18th day Of next January,
agreed upon to be devoted exclusively TO
the consideration Of this bill to organize
territorial form ofgovernment, and Tor
a vote to be taken settling the matter for
this time, which is very fortunate FOR
those who are interested in its passage,
as the shortness Of the session and the
press of business might otherwise have
prevented any action hsing taken ny THIS
Congress. 1t is rumored that ex- Senator
Henderson Of your State is coming here
to look after this Territorial bill, in the
in,eres. of the railroad companies and
Missourians generally In any capacity
he will be welcomed back to Washing
ton, and doubly so if he brings his charm
ing wife with him.
