The following relative to the open
ing up Of the Indian Territory tor
settlement is from n special to the St
st. Louis Globe. Democrat of the 9th
inst:
The Senate sub committee Ap.
pointed last session to visit the Indian
Territory, to ascertain what legisla
ton is necessary, if any, for its or.
! gunization, have submitted their re-
| port to the full committee. They are
satisfied something should be done to
open up this Territory for settlement,
and in order to give the railroads an
opportunity to secure rights OF way
through it. The principal objection
to the organization of tins Territory
is that the Kansas and Texas Rail,
road, which runs through it from
north to south, and the Atlantic and
Pacific, from east to west, would get
enormous land grants through the
operations of the present law, the mo.
ment that the Territory IS organized.
These railroads, however, have
expressed willingness to waive their
rights to such lands, provided Con
gress will allow the organization of a
Territorial Government 1t is stated
row by members of the committee
that it anything is done, it will be
very gradual IN its operations, and os.
pccial care will be taken to protect
the Indians and secure them IN all
their stipulated rights"
