The result Ofthe Ponca Indian case is a
staggerer TO the Indian agency business
The opinion of the judge was exhaustive
We quote the concluding paragraph. He
said:
That Gen. Geo. Crook, the respondent,
heing the commander of the military de.
partment of the Platte, had the custody
OF the REALTORS, under color of authority
of the United States and in violation OF
the laws; that no rightful authority ex
lists for the removing by force any of the
REALTORS to the Indian Territory as the re.
spodent has been directed to do; that the
Indians possess the inherent right of eX.
patriation, rs well as the more fortunate
white race, and have the lnalienable
right to 'life, liberty and the pursuit OF
happiness" so long as they obey the laws
and do not trespaSs on forbidden ground
and being restrained of liberty under
color of authority of the United States
and in violation of the laws thereof the
REALTORS must be discharged from custo-
dy and it is so ordered.
Under this decision there is nothing 10
prohibit the Cheyennes, the Poncas, the
Nez Perces and other tribes now held bv
force in the Indian Territory from imme.
diately taking up their line of march for
the southeast. The district attorney has
given notice of an appeal, but the courts
set the Indians free to go on their way

Usage COUNTY.

The treasurer of Usage county, John
s. Edie, is in trouble, having refused, on
the eth instant, to permit the examiners
appointed by the county commissioners
20 see his books and ascertain the amount
of public money on hand rs the law di.
reefs. The examiners reported his refus
al to the county commissioners, and il is
of course expected that they will meet
and take possession of the treasury and
ascertain why the treasurer refuses to
have his accounts duly audited and mon.
ey counted. The February examination
reported, among other vouchers, 81, 495. 9j
in tax receipts, in regard to which kind
of assets the Lyndon Times of the Sth
inst. remarks:
When did the law which provides that
tax receipts shall be used as vouchers for
county treasurers, go into effectg Is
there such law, if not, why are they so
usedy A tax receipt is paper issued by
the county treasurer certifying the
amount, time, by whom, and upon what
property the tax is paid, and is primo
fdcfe evidence that the TREASURER has re-
ceived n sum of money and not that he
has paid ont money, as this report would
seem To indicate. In other words, the
tax receipt is "a voucher for the person to
whom il is issued and may be used by
him To protect himself against the in
competency or rascality of county treas
urers
We hope Mr.. Edie will be able to sat
isfactOrily explain matters, but his refus-
al to comply with the law places him in
very singular attitude.

THE RIGHTS OF INDIANS.

The decision at Omaha, that the Indi.
ans have the same right To go where they
please as whites, brings TO mind a similar
decision by the supreme court of Kansas,
some ten years ago.
KeokulI, a chief of the Sac and Fox
tribe, wanted 10 go To Washington to see
his Great Father" The Indian agent
said Kcokuk should not go, because
there was no appropriation To pay his
expenses. Keokuk said he would pay
his own expenses, and started, and got
to Lawrence, where the agent had him
arrested and brought before a u. 8. Com
missioner, who put him in Jail, as jim
my Christian, his attorney, said, with
thieves, robbers and other vile characters"
After IL few days he was discharged un-
der Il habeas writ. lie brought suit in
the district court for false Imprisonment.
He got judgement against the agent,
and the case was taken To the supreme
court of Kansas. Judge Kingman in
rendering Il decision sustaining the judg-
ment of the court below, said he could
find no law to make il an offense for an
Indian 10 go to Washington If he want
ed To and paid his own bills.
He said that under no law, humane or
Divine, could be he subject TO arrest and
imprisonment by any one. The opinion
concluded by saying: His rights are
regulated by law, and when he appeals
Ia the law for redress, it is not in the
power of any tribunal to say you are an
Indian and your rights rest in the arbi-
trary decisions of executive officers, and
not in the law" The case is reported
fully in the 9th Kansas reports, page o.

PONCA INDIANS.

The decision of Judge Dundy, at Oma
ha, in. regard to the habeds corpus case
in which he virtually declares the In
dams citizens, with the right to go where
they please, regardless of treaty stipula
tons, is regarded by the government as
n heavy blow to the present Indian sys
tenn, that if sustained will prove ex
tremely dangerous, alike to whites and
Indians. If they cannot be kept upor
their reservation or returned when they
escape the Indians become Il body o.
troops moving without restraint when
ever they please, and exposed to the at
lacks of the frontiersmen, without re
dress from the government. The dis
trict attorney at Omaha has been in
structed to take necessary steps to car
ry the question tohigher courts.

THE INDIAN TERRITORY.

-eAoASS Will All settle In Kansas.
1t is only mining emegrants impelled
by thirst for gold, whose imaginations
have been intoxicated by dreams of sud-
den wealth, that ever give any trouble.
The exodus toward the Black Hills a year
or two since consisted of men with arms
IN their hands, who had left their fami-
lies behind, and among whom were
many resOlute and reckless desperadoes.
Their craze for gold, with the super-add-
ed craze caused by whIskey, made them
insolent and defiant, and thus there was a
real necessity for vigorous military inter
ventlon- But the simple farmers who
set out for the Indian territory under a
delusion as to their right to take I'D
lands IN that region are very different
kind of people, who viii abandon their
project and settle in Kansas as soon as
they are undeceived. They have no in
tentlon to violate the laws, much less TO
offer forcible resistance to the govern
ment What motive can they have to
fence and build and pillow and waste
their money and labor on land to which
they can acquire no legal title and from
which they can be dispossesed.

Our Political GRowTH.-Kansasw will
have population of probably million
in 1880, and Nebraska will probably reach
nearly half million. Kansas now has
three representatives and five electoral
votes, and Nebraska has one representa-
tive and three electoral votes. The "a
ito of representation in congress is now
one member to population of 131, 425.
If this ratio is not increased Kansas will
have, after the next census is taken, nine
members of congress and eleven electoral
votes, and Nebraska win have four mem.
bers and six electoral votes. Thus these
two states win gain, in a decade, nine
members and nine electoral votes.
