Col. stevens Addresses The OhOctaws.

General Manager Stevens having learned
that the Choctaw council was to be in ses-
sion at the capital of their nation, on the
twenty-eighth, invited the Congressional
party, then in this city, to join him there.
Reaching Caddo, the party took carriages
and repaired to the academy, where they
found large assemblage of the Choefaw
Nation already assembled. Mr.. Parsons,
the United States agent, d. c. Brooks, Of
the Chicago Rdillody ReDiep, and representa-
tives of several Kansas journals accompa-
MED the party. After dinner, both houses,
with the Governor, judges of the Supreme
Court and other officials, met in Joint ses-
sion and invited COL Stevens to address
them. The Colonel responded in a speech
of some thirty minutes, which was listened
to with marked attention, and was greeted
with frequent and hearty applause Col
Stevens talked very plainly and portrayed
in glowing colors what would be the fu-
ture of the Indians if they only awaited
themselves of the advantages now in their
very grasp.
It is said the members Of the council are
soon to take trip to Sedalia to see what
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas road is
doing for other sessions, and learn how easily
it will be for their nation to secure equal
benefits.
OF course all this has reference to the
opening of the Indian country to settlement.

These distinguished standard bearers of
the Democratic party have thoroughly
aroused the people of Northern Texas, and
a perfect storm of enthusiasm is sweeping
over the country wherever they have been.
Glowing accounts reach as from many points
at which they have spoken, Of the interest
which they have awakened among the peo-
pie upon the vital issues of the campaign.
Thousands of people turned out to hear
them at every point, and the Second Con
gressiOnal District is in a feryid blaze Of ex-
element. Some claim it for the Democ-
racy by a majority of %, 000 These nc
counts fill our hearts with joy. The old
Democratic army is in motion, and its firm.
and heavy tread in its onward march to
that grand victory which it is to win on the
second day Of December next already fills
the minions ef tyranny and oppression with
awful fear and terrible dismay. Democrats,
be of good cheer; but be dilligent, be faith
ful, be true. To make our victory thorough,
complete and overwhelming, we must have
every man In the line. Then rcgister, and then

Removal ora German % sEake way Tor

The appointment Of the Negro Samis to
the Consulate at Stuttgardt and the implied
removal Of its present occupant, a gentle
man IN every way worthy and competent to
discharge its duties. is certainly new fea-
tufein the administration Of our diplomatic
affairs abroad. Why President Grant has
chosen to infict this token Of contempt
upon the small, yet in matters Of civiliza-
ton leading, German State, is an INQUIRY
worthy Of an answer Republican organs
claim the appointmenl to have been made
to oppose the demand u the turbulent col
ored element for a share Of all Offices at

doubt, satisfies the Office hungry, equality
craving colored race and its fanatic coadlu-
tors Of Caucasian origin, but not so, the

grated from the historic soil of plain and
hospitable Schwabenland. The Ohio State

A NICK YoUSG LADY.-The Italian jour
nails relate that the environs Of Catanzaro,
Calabria, are infested By band-of brigands
under the command Of a young woman.
She IS only twenty years Of age, and Of
great beauty, with remarkably black and
brilliant eyes. Her name is Marie, and she
IS the widow of Pietro Monico, bandit
chief, who was killed in an encounter with
the gendarmes. She was arrested lately,
tried and condemned to thirty years inn
prisonment. While undergoing her pun
ishment, n warder, becoming cnanored ui
her, favored. her escape, and accompani.d
her, but was stabbed to death by her or,lers
Immediately after she had rejoined her
band. Since that period, her audacity and
activity have redoubled, and she has ma. lc
herself the terror of the surrounding coGn-
try. She burns farm houses, carries off
cattle and levies contributions, and the
slightest disobedience to her orders is pun
ished by murder and fire.
