A telegram from Parsons, Kansas,
says that strong appeal has been written by
gentlemen well acquainted with Indian ar
ern paper, to nave congress organize all that
part Of the Indian Territory which lies east OF
the niDety-eighth meridian, weSt longitude,
into Territory; make civilized Indians eiti-
zens Of the United STATES. and let that part
west of this line remain for a reservation for
wild Indians, where the experiment of civil
izing could be applied to the raw material.
The country east OF the uinety-eighth me-
ridian IL about as larse as Indiana, and would
soon have the requisite population TO become
"A State Of the Union. This plan is understood
to meet the appreciation Of the twelve thOu-
sand negroes, former slaves of indians, who
object 10 mere indian citizenship and desire
10 become citizens Of the United States.

snecia Payments.

A correspondent Of the New York TiSaeS thinks
the true plan for specie payments is thus: The ta-
king IN Of gneenbacks as gold flows into circula-
ton. substituting coin for paper without contrae-
tion or change Of values, arresting the process
when money rises above seven per cent, resuming
il a. il becomes ehesp, aud thus gradually ae-
SorblnR gold into our circulating medium. When
we hold the same amount Of com in proportion 10
our paper currency that France or Great Britain
always hold in proportion to their paper cuTTen-
uisA, 9e may not only declare hut maintain le-
gal resumption. Until then, ia spite of all plans,
the experience Of nations tells US that this result
cannot be reached. No nation has yet hOated
any large amount Of paper and kept on a par with
gold Nith ewes sn equal amount Of coin In its
circulating medium.
In the plan proposed, the gradual substitution %
ecu Cor currency IN oHg circulating msdiUm, there
nesd be no forced change Of values. III country
will itself resume and take and use the gold il
appeau. 1t 10 only Deedfnl 10 guard against the
inAsiion which even the entry Of gold into thai
medium when It floats at par will cause, by an
order of Congress requiring the Secretary OF the
Treasury 10 withdraw curreney as coin appears.
That geld viii be al par before the meeting o
Congress there is little doubt, Indeed, it cannot
be Otherwise. The time for the withdrawal o.
currency mas already arrived. Large sums OF sil
yer am already refused in exchange for green
baeka.

Chancellor Rates' resignation had been eo0tem-
plated by the Bar Of this county; but 1t was NOT
perhaps expected 10 take place 50 soon. He has
been on the bench nearly eight years; having sue
ceeded Chancellor Harrington, who died while in
Office, on the 2Sth of Novem6eT, 1865. Mr.. Fats
was appointed by Governor SAulsbury about 18th
of December, 1865. The appointment at once re
ceived the appreciation 6f our entire people, be
Gauss OF the eminent fitness of the recipient.
Since that time the duties OF the oee have great-
Iy increased and engrossed 90 much Of the time oi

him to labor too Ardeny at all times, (and we pre-
sumo that the aecum ulatOn of business arbOnd

No State eau well afford to lose the services q
sueh man as Chancellor Bates, and our people
are deeply indebted to him for the unremitting
labor he has bestowed in the disehArge Of his judi
cial functions.
There are Of course at the bar, In smAh State
like ours. but few gentlemen from whom to select
his successor and these few again narrowed
down By other considerations. Those who are
best Qualified may not be willing to make the
same sacrifice that Mr. Bates did, in surrendering
the finest practice in the State to take position
that did not net half the pay. We have heard
several geutleman's names suggested, but PreiS'

WINTER Amid the paucity Of local
items with which our reporter is now
afflicted, and the fact that owing to the
heavy snow on the mountains the tele-
graph wires work badly. and mail arri-
walls are somewhat uncertain, something
clipped which is applicable to our sur
roundings is not unworthy of place in
the local column. Hence we copy the
following from the editorial department
of Woods Household Magazine for De-
cember: We think there must have been
a time, centuries ago. when Earth felt
very sad; time when darkness closed
around her; when loneliness and despair
entered her heart; when comfort in hope
was not to be found. This, when the
first fall and winter settled upon por.
ton of her surface; when all around veg
citation was dying; when the beautiful
flowers hung their heads and none sue
ceeded; when the grasses grew faded and
brown; when, leaf by leaf, the trees lost
their foliage; when the air grew chill,
and the autumn winds fell to signing.
No'such misfortune had ever before Wis
tied Earth; hitherto, she had known only
summer; had dreamed of nothing else to
come--of only sunshine and flowers,
gentle rains and silver mists. What
wonder, then, that she shivered and
trembled at the desolation going on
around; that she lost all hope as the days
grew shorter, colder, shorter still, and
still colder. Even after the first terror
was over, how dreary everything must
have looked to Earth-how cherries,
how forlorn. And when the first snow
came, and grew on the graves of the
flowers, and covered the nakedness of
the trees, how tired she must have been
with this monotonous spread of white,
unrelieved by any color And can we
not find excuse for Earth, when, at last,
overcome by the weight of her affection,
she steeled her heart to all, and allowed
the tears she had been shedding SO album
dainty to freeze upon her face. why
should l not die too, We fancy she ex-
claimed; everything in which l took
delight is gone-there is nothing left
for which / care to live! tits a cruel
fate which has befallen me, and where
