THE CoIoRED MEETING.-On Monday night,
pursuant to call by a number of colored
men. there was a large meeting of colored
citizens at the City Hall to appoint delegates
to the Vicksburg Convention. There was a
good deal of dissention among them as to who
should be appointed delegates. The opposition
was centered chiefly against James Hill, for
the reason that he had appointed Democrats
a. his deputies, and had not retained Mr.. Nj.
NJ. Mcleod. r. c. Powers chief clerk, in his
office. A number of very amusing speeches
and points of order were made, but for want OF
snaoe we omit graphic report. One speaker
refarred to Kansas as "the land flowing with
,;Ik and honey" and received a response
from the audience, Il don't want any OF the
honey in mine" Another speaker wanted the
Vicksburg Convention to tell how 1t Is that
nlanters charge the colored laborers so rent
ner acre for land and give in the same land to
the Assessor at - 90 per acre, Fhe Hlllltes
finally carried the day, and Mr.. Hill was APP
nointed. among others, delegate. 1t was
annarent that a large minority, if not ma

Ransas-ward. The following delegates were

MERRITT'S
A Beautiful Piece of Indian Peace
Policy-Gen. Crook Interviewed.

oliCy-Gcu. Orook interviewed.
Gen. Crook passed through yesterday
from the west, and was waited upon by
a LEADER reporter, who extracted
from him information substantially as
follows:
He has been at Rawlins and in that
n~eighborhood since the I'd inst, where
he has been overseeing the forwarding
Of scouts and supplies to Gen. Merritt.
He did not care about taking the field
in person, as Gen. Merritt was In COM
mand when he arrived there, and no
man is better fitted for the position
than he. Gen. Merritt's orders at the
present time are to remain in statu
quo, or, in other words, to make no
advances of a belligerent nature.
These are the orders from Washington
and cannot be disobeyed. The hostiles
will not number over 200, and they
never would have had an overt upris-
Ing were it not for the promises Of a
large number of other tribes who broke
their faith with those who did enter
into open warfare, when they found
the number Of troops that was almost
shot amongst them, SO rapidly did they
approach. The general uprising of
citizens in neighboring localities also
prevented a general outbreak of the
Indians in that country.
I Gen. Crook,,thinks there are sufficient
troops in the field at present, but they
are situated in such an out of the way
position that it will be difficult to keep
them furnished with supplies, and es.
pecially 80, If IN early winter should
set in. He says hat Mr.. Adams, who
was sent out from the department at
Washington to negotiate peace with the
Indians will, in all probability, be sue.
cessful, as the Indians are now, n and
all, anxious to accept peace on easy
terms. If, however, the Thornburgt
murderers be not at once hunted down,
but allowed to remain a few months, il
will be utterly impossible to capture
them, for as soon as the weather per
mits they will scatter.
Gen. Crook does not know what thu
intention Of the interior department is
in relation to the White River agency
whether it will ever again be estab
lished or not.
