ABUSE OF THE DIsrRIcT.-The unanimous
confirmation liven the Hen. A. r. Shepherd as
Governor, by The Senate, was . just and COM
plimentary recognition of public service worthy
special record. This gentleman, animated by
an honorable ambition, has done q work under
circumstances that would have discouraged .
man not possessed of his high courage and in
domitable will. Not the least of these has been
the torrent Of personal abuse poured on his un
protected head by the press of the United States.
We say unprotected, for our unhappy District is
without the political influence that comes of
votes under which most leaders may find she,-
ter. For example, We have seen the press of
New York devote columns to our city while not
daring to utter q word against the corruptions
at home. And this Is the same Of almost every
other municipal corporation in the country No
falsehood has been too gross for publication.
And no falsehood, however libelous, could find
correction or even contradiction. And yet we
can say In the end. as we have said in the begin
ming, We have done more work of q better sort,
for less money and In q shorter time, than can
be found In any part Of the country; and more,
we can show greater work than any part Of the
world.-Copitai.

THE CIVILIZED ISDIANS.

They Want 10 be Ter
rftOrtalized.

VINITA, IND. TER, December 2O.-Consider.
able excitement exists in the Indian Terri
tory in regard to the recommendation of the
President, in his message to congress, to or
ganiZe the Indian Territory for the purpose
OF locating ths wild Indians among those
people. AT the recent meeting of the Ock-
mulgee convention they declined to take any
action In regard to modifying their constitu-
ton until congress changed Its policy in re-
gard TO the Indians OF the plains. They say
that for sixty years they have been trying 70
civlliZe themselves and their children, and
now To place the Modocs, kickaRoos, Arapa
hoes, kiOwaS and CamRnches alongside OF
them as neighbOrs would demoralize their
children and destroy the labor OF years. A
large number Of them told Superintendent
Hoge that IL the government would limit the
boundary TO the ninety-eighth meridian, snd
adopt them as citizens of the United States,
and connne the wild Indians to the country
west of Them, there would be no opposition
among The people TO Territorial government
and allotment of land. delegatien OF
prominent colored people will visit Wash
ington IN January, 10 urge congress to give
them their property right in the Territory
and citizenship IN the United states. AL peO-
pie seem anxious that congress should this
session give them courts and a form OF gov
ernment that will protect them in all their
rights. They are now satisfied that citizen
ship and a restriction of the limits OF the Ter
ritOry so as TO exclude the settlement of wild
Indians in their midst, win alone save them
from degradation, and advance the civil liza
ton OF the people.
