@ Indeed, if Gen. Grant were not Gen.

vince people that be was entitled to

The Indians ASK only tnat treaties
be Observed, and Want No Territory
The Commissioners Still SaDEuine.
MUsKoGEE, l. T., Dec. u. The Indian
Peace Commissioners met the Indians in
council againJO-day, and were presented by
the delegates with preamble and pesolu-
tions, the substance Of which is embodied
in the following.
They respectfully ask of Congress that
they will respect, reaffiTm and adhere to
the stipulatiOns of the treaties with the
United States, and only ask that they be
fully carried out in good faith.
That they are unwilling to take the liz
initiative, or to participate in any move
ment that may lead to change in their
nations, or of their relation to the United
States, except such changes as are provided
for by treaty stipulations.
Among their grievances they recite the
Objectionable manner in which the United
States Court of the Western Dis riot of
Arkansas, has exercised its jurisdiction
over the Indian country; delay in the pay
ment of annuities; grants Of Indian lands
to railroads; tariff Determinations by the
railroads against them; intrusion and Tres
pass by unauthorized persons; injury TO
the people by the constant agitation Of the
territorial PROJECT.
Some speeches by the Indian delegations
would have been listened to with atten-
tion on the floor of Congress, for the abili-
ty and eloquence in presenting their views
TO the commissioners.
Col. c. f. Baudinot presented minority
report signed by several Indian delegates,
asking Congress 10 organize a territory,

missioners that there is not SO much differ
ence sfter all, among the Indians upon this
subject. The commissioners adjourned APP

Do Your Duty.

As an act of self defence 1t Is the duty
of every man, woman and child, TO do all
they can TO put an end TO inteinperance
Many father has labored nard, saving
every cent that he could earn, watching
his growing boy with the most intense
eagerness; his heart burning with JOY. at
every hopeful trait, or promising feature
the boy exhibits; hoping with the intense
anxiety of a good father. that his boys
life will be 4 success; determined that he
shall have an education. a trade. or a
profession, even though il shall take the
last cent OF the money which the father
has earned by the sweat of his own brow.
Yet how often has il been the case tina,
just such bows as this have associated with
bad company, commenced frequenting
drinking saloons. brought ruin 10 them
selves. and disgrace to their families. and
blasted all that kind fathers hopes, with a
single blow.
Fathers, this is what intemperance has
done for many men; it is what 1t may do
for you.
How many mothers have watched their
young daughters, as they have grown 10
womanhood; watching the unfolding Of
these birds of promise with an intensity
of feeling. which none but 4 mother
knows or ever can know, peering with
eager eyes into the future; their hearts
buoyant with the hope that their daugh-
ter's life will be one of prosperity and
comfort.
Yet how many such mothers have seen
their daughters, married, and after an
interval of few years have seen them
with their children brought to poverty,
destitution, wretchedness and despair. by
the drinking habits OF their brutal hus-
bands.
Mothers-.his is what intemperance
has done for many q woman. it is what it
may do for you.
Fathers, mothers, brothers aud sisters,
you all have some friend too near, and
dear to be sacrificed to this cruel monster.
Intemperance is . contagious vice; the
more there Is Of 1t the more likely are
some of your dear friends to become its
victims.
Then use your influence in such a way
that il ever intemperance shall ruin any
Of yOlr family, you may feel that it is not
owing to any neglect or fault Of yours,
that you have done every thing in your
power. and that whoever falls, falls not
through your negligence, but from your
inability TO arrest this gigantic evil.
