Ton cOrTCs iosiucuHt. SA-po'' A
pame, in his last letter makes pubic the
following facts:
GAS | predicted some days since, the
Kansas delegation have united in rec
ommcnding the appointment OF hon.I.
ID. Thachcr rs supervisor OF the census
for the second district. and d.. Evans.
ESQ.,. of Great Bend. for the third. No
selection has yet been made for the first
district. 1t l. almost certain that ai,-
poirtments will follow these recommen-
dations. they being unanimous and the
parties recommended entirely above
criticism.
As YOU have doubtless noticed, the
committee on privileges and elections
are considcrin. the matter of compel
ing the telegraph company 10 produce
the dispatches required IN the ingalls,
investigation. The committee has al
ready modified its demand so rs to cx-
clude from il The books and records OF
the company. and have limited the peri
od covered by the Subpoena to the frst
of March instead OF the first oil June
The company demands that it shall not
be required 10 produce dispatches hav-
inc no bearing whatever On the sena-
torial election. All dispatches sent OF
received by Mr.. Ingalls, have been pro
duced at his request, and a might have
been foreseen ;hey do not contain ihe
slightest thing prciudicial TO the Sena'
tor. Ii is not likely tina; this question
will be determined for some time T.
come.
The bin providing for asceriaining tho
amount due to the State Of Kansas 10!
money expended and indebtedness as
sulned on account Of enrolling. equip
ping and supplying troops during th'
| rebellion. has been rc-introduced IN botl
houses. This bill. it viii be remembered
passed the Senate in the last Congress
| but have little hope that The party nov
in power will make haste 10 do the rad
zeal State of Kansas so much .! jus
tice.
Tie usual bill. TO provide for the or
ganization of the Indian country souti
of Kansas into Oklahoma Territory
have been introduced, and there are no
wanting signs that mere serious eiior
will be made this winter TO carry tn
scheme through than has yet been pi
forth. SO long rs the fight was left Gu
tireiv in the hands Of the railway com
pa,lies that traverse the Territory o
are stopped at its borders, it was no
Ililaly TO become winning one: bu
now tina. new interests have new inter
ests have been engaged-intcrests tina
will have great weight in the East wher
the strongest opposition has Away
been found--ih1rc is thought 10 be
much better chance of success. Ih
specific legislation sought tor is the cree
ton of the territory into a political OF
ganization, the setting apart OF Ger
tain proportion Of The lands to the res
dent Indians in sevcraIty, and the open
inc of the remainder TO sale and settle
ment under the land laws of the Unite
: States. The railway companies waiv
any rights that they may possess to Ian
grants under existing treaty stipulation
Their interest lies III the direction or IA
early settlement OF that prodnctiy
country. which would resul! in yasti
, increased traffic over their lines. III
immigration to Kansas for the last tw
or three wears has been so vast, and til
advantages Of the State are now SO Va
vorsaiiy recognized that there Woiiid
little 10 fear from the competition
the Indiau Territory ; still there can I
little doub, chat the -aniincgt Oh a yer
large majority of our people Is again
