can Senators this evening. at which majority OF
them were present. They finally surmounted the
obstacles heretofore met as 10 their agreement
on the frennghuysen resolution sustaining Presi-
dent Grant, ana voted almost unanimously in
favor OF resolution approving the recognition OF
the Kellogg government as the de Jdcto govern
ment OF Louisiana. IL has not finally been
resolved TO submit 1t to the Senate,
and further Is TO be held
tomorrow. While there is considerable
satisfaction apparent among the republican Sen
ators At the accomplishment OF this concession on
the part OF such senators as Conkiing, there Is
yet some doubt TO the feasibility OF getting 1t
readily through the Senate. OF course II Is appre-
hended that the democrats Will oppose IL and seek
to talk it down. Senator Morton does not think
that the senate can adjourn tomorrow. At any

EFFORTS TO EXTINGUIsH THE INDIAN TITLE TO
THE BLACK HuLs-CoMNIssIoNERs TO BE
APPOINTED BY THE PRxsDENT-DANoR OF
A SIOUX REBELLION.
Senator Ingalls,, OF Kansas who Ii familiar with
Indian anairs, states that the ratification Of the
treaty with the Sioux Indians was duly passed
upon by the United States Senate on February le.
1869. 1t was made April &c. 1865 and proclaimed
in due course by Andrew Johnson President Of
the United States on February "a, 1869. the
whole text will be found in the Statutes at Large,
volume Is, pages 635 to Gas. This removes all
doubt from the title OF the Indians. and by the
treaty they have vast tract OF land. the large
par: OF whichls known Tor more than one hundred
miles by twenty-five as the Little Swamp lands"
Back OF them, for region containing several
square miles. are what are known as the Black
Hills. AS it is desired to open up this section to
settlement the President has determined, upon
representations made to him, to appoint three
commissioners, who are to proceed at once to
negotiate with the Sioux Indians for the sale or
sure nder OF the title Of this Black Hills region to
toe United States. This Is the only way in which
the country thus owned and now in possession OF
the Indians be acquired as to admit Of
white settlement.
Senator ingalls, further says that Of this trioe.
numbering about 60.000, there are about 10000
who have always been unruly and have given
great trouble TO the border VI Kansas and others
OF the states, wnere the settlers have periodically
been driven or by the Indians. AS soon as the
Senate adjourns, he says, he Is going among the
settlers and will advise them TO put themselves
at once IN a state Of defence, by arming them
selves and building stockaoes here and there, in
which the women and children OF the settlers may
take refuge IN case OF attack by the Indians. He
says that accounts rom the frontier inform him
that the Indians are provoked by the invasion by
settlers ana miners upon tue Black hills. and he
looks for serious troubles when they shall become
aroused, as appears probable from latest accounts
near at hand. Senator Ingalls, IL evidently much
concerned Tor the people the borders OF his
State should the Sioux take the war path.
