TbE latest apparition in the kaleido-
scope OF New Orleans journalism was
presented OH Sunday morning, when
the Pfeayune appeared with the All
nouncement of MIR. A. NJ. Holbrook as
President of the Pieayune Printing
Company, and general manager Of the
paper. Before the late sherili's sale, il
seems that there was triangular con-
test Tor the purchase and contIol of the
paper-Mr. Holbrook being onecon-
testant, the Herald comaany and
some members of the former Plea
yune Company being the other par
ties. Apparently the Herald Com
pany, represented by Judge Alex
ander Walker, carried the day. But
Mr.. Holbrook had the ownership
as well us possession Of the Pieayune
building, and the right of lessor to
distrain for the rent, This, If not nine
points in the game, gave him a very
strong vantage ground, and il IL To be
presumed that he used II with charac-
teristicd secretion In eatctingacomprise

felgned satisfaction by those who re-
tain pleasant memories Of the Plea

Accounts dated ut Ninita, I. r., De.
| comber 70, say that considerable eX-
element exists in the Indian Territory
over the recommendation of ihe Pres
ldent in his message to Congress 10 or
ganizc the Indiap Territory for ths pur-
pose OF locating the wild Indians
among these people. 4'he inhabitants
OF the Terri DRY are reported to say
that for sixty years they have been
trying to ciyilizc themselves and their
children, and now to place the Modocs.
kickapoos, Arapahoes, Kiowas and
Commanches alongside of them, and
as iicighbors, would dcm0ralige their
children and destroy the labor of years.
~ large number of them are said
to have told Superintendent Hoagc
that if the government would
limit the boundary to The OSth
meridian and adopt them az
citizens of the United States, and con-
fine the wild Indians to the country
west of them, there would be no oppe-
sition among people to territorial gov
eminent and allotment of land. 1t j.
further said that Il delegation of prom
nent colored people will visit Wash
ington in January to urge Congress to
give them their proper rights in the
Territory and citizenship in the United
States. All the people are very aux-
iouS that Congress should, this spring,
give them courts and u form of govern
ment that willprotect them in all their
rights. They are all now satisfied that
citizenship and the restriction of the
limits of the Territory so us to exclude
the settlement Of wild Indians in their
midst, will alone save them from deg
radiation, and advance the civilization
of the people.
This looks little like nerve to meet
the occasion.
