Indien Council.
ST. LOUIS, December "A dispatch from
Fort Gibson says that grand council of
various Indian nations met at Ockmulgee,
Indian Territory, on the first instant, but
adjourned after brief session without do
ing anything definite. Seventeen tribes
were represented, and if is said that all the
delegates were opposed to the establish
ment OF territorial government for the
Indian Territory, but this probably was
mistake, as several members of the council
elected last summer are known TO have
been in favor OF that project

From Indian Territory.
PARSONS, Kansas, December 9-The
Ockmulgee, Indian Territory, constitutional
convention, or grand council of Indian ma
tons, adjourned yesterday until the first |
Monday in May, without doing anything. |
1t seems to be the intention of the Indians |
to let matters take their own course, with |
out interference by them.
There Is a new movement on foot, which |
meets with great favor on the part OF the /
progressive party OF the Territory, to have |
Congress organize all that part of the H.
dian Territory which lies east of the ninety
eighth meridian of west longitude into
Territory and make the civilized Indians
citizens of the United States, and let that
part west OF this line remain for a reserva
ton for the wild Indians, where the expert |
ment of civilizing them could be applied to
raw material. The country east Of the
ninety-eighth meridian is about as large as
Indiana, and would soon have the requisite
population to become a State OF the Union.
This plan it is understood, meets the ap-
probation of the 10000 negroes, former
slaves of the Indians, who object to mere
Indian citizenship, and desire to become
citizens of the United States. A strong ap |
peal in favor of this object has been written
by gentlemen well acquainted with Indian
affairs, which will soon be published in the
Eastern papers.
