TIE CHoCTAw LEGISLATURE.
CApDo, l. T., Nov. |.
The Choctaw legislative council has
Just adjourned, after an exciting session
of about four weeks. In the treaty Of
1866, with the Choctaws, congress agreed
to give the Choctaws $500, 600 for strip
of country, known as the Leased district,
provided that the Choctaws would,
within two years, adopt into the Nation,
and make them citizens, about 1900 ne
groes, formerly slaves Of the Choctaw
Indians, and give them forty acres Of
land to each individual The time cx-
pired without action being taken, and
from council to council the government
has extended tho time. This money,
with interest, now amounts to more than
500, coo, yet SO strong is the prejudice
or the fear OF sectiorizing and allo,iing
th>ir lands, they have again refused to
pass the act Of adoption. There is fiat
refusal on the part of the nation to do
Justice to these colored people, who were
attached to their liomes and native land
when the government is willing to pay
them 50 generously for just act. 1t is
safe to say that each one Of these men
produces more than any twenty full-blood
Choctaws Every other nation of In
dians has adopted their former slaves
aud given them equal rights in the land
and annuities The negroes are excited,
and will send strong delegation 10
Washington to urge their rights before
congress. They do not want to be com.
PEELED t. leave their homes. but they
want to have their status determined
Either they are citizens OF the United
States or citizens of the Choctaw Nation,
and the government cannot afford TO lg
more their just demands.
