INDIAN AFFAIRS.

The Indian question is matter of so much importance to Arkansas that solution of tho problem is anx- iously looked for, and much anxiety is manifested to have the settlement of the matter based upon such fair and just principles that the new ord CT may meet with the appreciation of both classes--indian and whites.
 The policy that.will be pursued by the general government in dispo- sing of this question is foreshadow- ed in the report which will be sub mitted to the full senate committee, by the sub committee, Composed of Senators Patterson, Garland and Grover at an early day, The sub. committee will recommend the in corporation of the following proyis, ions into whatever legislation con gress may enact in the premises First-The establishment of Un. ited States court in the Indian terri tory to possess both criminal and ci vii jurisdiction.
 Second--That all Indians compri- sing the five nations shall be citizens of the United States amenable to the federal laws and competentsto serve on juries in U. s. court etc.
 Third That the lands now held in common shall be divided and held in severalty but inalienable for lin ited term of years.
 The sub committee do not, at pre- sent recommend the establishment by congress of 6 regular territorial government for these Indians but provide for representation by dele gate.
 The sub committee will probably advise the insertion in the proposed bill of proviso for conditional land grants which various railroad com lpanies during the settlement of this territory have announced themselves willing to relinquish shall be formal ly relinQnished. The recommendations of the sub. committee will probably be endorsed by . majority of the full committe.

THE LEGIsLATURE.

The General Assembly of the State of Arkansas will convene at the capital next Monday. It is to be hoped that each and every mem Der elect has made the necessary preparation to do well the part en- trusted to him by his constituency.
 There is weighty responsibility resting upon each member, and the people of the state will expect a conscientious discharge of'every du- ty devolvlng upon the members.
 The general belief is that short session will be best for the State ai this time.

 IfsHEATERS.

We published last week the notice given by W. B. Young, David F. West, Joseph Petty ct als., in the matter of the contest of the recent county seat election. In that notice there were given several lists of vo ters who are alleged to have cast their ballois illegally in Illinois, Wilson, Galla Rock, Holly Bend, Gum Log, Moreland, Dover, Clark, and Martin townships. In examin ing these names we find that in scv- eral of the townships the same names are given. This is a pretty grave charge to make against voter ito solemnly and deliberately charge him with repeating his vote at different precincts on the same day. We know some of the voters person ally, and we are certainly surprised to see them accused of repeating.
 For the information of interested parties we annex the following list of names charged with repeating. The following list are charged with having voted in both Gum Log and Holly Bend townships: $. Fl. Wick, W. M. Ludwick, Lee Gideon, ,-3.
 The following in Wilson and Gala Rock J. c. Falls, J. c. Oates, il. NJ. Cupp, G. ". Cupp, R. w. White sides, $. A. Quinn, John Oates. D. Beasley, J. D. McReynolds, J. E. Fulks, A. L. Lewis, Edd Taylor, Charley Quinn. Yes Harvill, Tim Reed, Bennett Embry,-l6.
 The following in Illinois and Hol- ly Bend: J. M. Rackley, J. J. Rain ey, J. NJ. Lloyd, $. c. Wells, J. E. Canada, J. H. Hobbs,-6.

HOW WAS 1T ASCE2sTAINED?

One Of the grounds upon which 1 the County Conrt will be asked to set aside the returns of the recent County Seat election, and to adjndge the proposition to remove said County Seat rejected, IS stated by Messrs. Young, West, Petty, ct als, to be as follows:
 ..That at said election as held in the several townships of sad county One Hundred and Seventy Five votes were given by ballots when had written or printed on them only the words afor RusseIlville,' without any word, whatever, to indicate whether they were intended to be for or against change of said County Seat; and that said ballots were unlawfully counted and return ed as having been given for said change"
 The question now naturally pre- sents itself, how has it been ascer- tained that 175 ballots of this de- scription were cast? And how has l it been ascertained that these l75 ballots are included amongst the 1240 returned "For Changer
 
 Without any surmiscs as to the answer to these queries we presume the voters of the county will await with no small degree of interest the developments which will he made in the conrse of the trial of this con tested election.

 Pope IS considered state and is supposed by few to be sohd for Walker for Senator and the Russell vile Democrat and Atkins News both keep his name at their mast head. But at the election Baxter got the biggest vote and Bell next. You need not come to the conclusion from this that none of the other candidates have friends here. We know that many of those who voted for Baxter as first ehioce, would vote for John son in case Baxter should be dis. tanced.
 Tue bitter, yindictive manner iI which Mir Johcson has been treated by some of the friends and papers advocating the claims of others, is producing reaction--a change iG favor of R. w. Johnson, and if 9 vote could be taken now the result would be very different from the one taken last summer.
 The above two paragraphs are from letter written to the Arkan. saw Traveller by "Old Arkansan,' 2 from Russellville.
 It IS evident that "Old Arkansan'' is not posted upon the public senti- ment in Pope county on the Senate rial question; and we do not hesitate to say that we believe him very bad ly mistaken when he says tha many of those who voted for Baxter as first choice would vote for John son in case that Baxter should bt distanced.
 We have had an intimate inter course with the people of Pope Co. for the past eleven years and we be lieve we can tell just as nearly how they will vote on almost any ques tion submitted to them as any ethel man, and we give it as our deliberate opinion that there are not SEVENTY FIVE Johnson men in Pope county.
 "Old Arkansan" again misses tn. mark very widely when he says eth, bitter, vindictive manner in whicl Mir. Johnson has been treated by some of the friends and papers advo eating the claims ot others, is crea ting q reactlon--a change in favor O R. W. Johnson"
 There has been no change in flaw or of R. ". Johnson. This paper has been accused of being one of the .'bitter, vindictive" journals whicl has persecuted Mr. J., and yet the editor of the paper mas .been repeat edly urged by numbers of our citi zens to make the opposition to John son STILL HOTTER, and to do our bes, to help defeat him. The almos' unanimous sentiment here is that to let Arkansas again get in the hands of the Johnson dynasty will be to take g step backwards, which will require years to again recover from.

Paw Paw, MIcHIeAS, MAY 2, 1879.

Tho Washington correspondent OF the Even
ing News has keen appetite for the ludricous,
and has way OF putting things that is both
humorous and vexatious. Under date of April
25th. he writes to his paper in this way:
aThe everlasting yawp snent the army bill
bas al last ended by ITS passage In the senate
inst as IL left the house. Not line was al
lowed TO be changed, the most harmless amend
ments being rejected with the same unvarying
partisan vote. The democrats have learned
lust one Lesson since the war, and only one
and that IL caution. The bodest OF them
would not dare to take pinch OF snuff from 4
republican box with anything shorter than a
mar OF topgs. III a republican leader should
propose TO amend tho army bill by dottng an
i. or crossing I, the proposition would be
voted down with the same partisan vote, and
the result would be hailed as triumph and
the whole party would walk solemnly out and
take drink and congratulate itself on having
successfully averted a dread calamity.
In speaking OF Omar ID. COnger from this
State, he says:
He has managed to make himself great
nuisance TO the democratic side, the duty or
stirring the animals up with long pole having
been assigned to HIM by unanimous consent.
Asa strrer up with long pole Conger Is a
success He can cause dem ocrat to get mad
aud make q fool or himself quicker cnan any
other man IN the business
IL commenting on the passage OF the ap-
preparation bill with the riders attached, he
says:
What is 20 follow the passage OF the army
bill is the great question that now agltates the
breasts OF all the politicians. There Is scarcely
a doubt expressed by the republicans OF the
presidents veto or the bills. lie 10 known now
To he in luli accord with his party, and that
party has not been celebrated tor It's liability
To commit suicide. Hence tue veto is q fore
gone conclusion. The democrats feel this, and
are in o quandary as 10 what 1t ID best to DO
next The extra session was forced by them
for the sols purpose OF manufacturing political
oapltal, and they now feel that they have lost
instead OF gained 10y the debates that have
been had. They hate TO back down completely
and pass he bills without the amendments,
and PROBABLY will not do So
On the proposition to pass laws changing the
financial policy, be d!scourses as follows;
They fear to attempt the proposed financial
legislation. and attempt 10 disturb the present
order Of things in view OF the success OF re-
sumption as il Is now pros resslng being lookec
upon as dangerous to the interests OF the
democracy Ia the north. But the southern
democrats on the one hand and the handful
OF greenbackers on the other insist on tinancla
legislation of the most radical character; ap(
80 between tho fear OF offending the one ant
losing the other entirely the poor democrats o.
the north are very unhappy indeed.
