Inc CABINET, at Its Fridays session, reaf-
frmed its intention to prevent the occupa-
lion of Indian territory by whites. The
secretary of the interior has received furthur
information upon the subject, which indi-
Gates that the intended invasion is Of a for
midable nature. The proposition Of the
government is to prevent the proposed occu-
patton of the Ind an territory by armed
force, if it can be accomplished in no other
way. In recording this decision the govern
ment is placing itself in a position from
which it must eventually withdraw. The
eyes Of a vast number of home seekers are
upon this region and there they will go in
spite of any ceercive efforts to rest rain them.
The people look upon all portions of the
public domain as theirs by national right,
and the circumstance that an Indian treaty
has, been established against that right will
possess no weight with those who covet their
red neighbors' possessions. The Black Hills
nce belonged to the Sioux. Civilization
claimed them and the power of the army
was not sufficient to stay the flood tide of set.
Element which swept like an overwhelming
wave into the very heart of the Indian do
main, and from its vantage ground de6ed
the military power of the government and
compelled q change in the laws to meet the
new aspects Of the case. So it will be
with this Indian territory should it come to
pass that the on-moving hosts of emigrants
conclude that it is = desirable region for
white occupancy. Aud 90 it should be.
There lies a country said to be productive
if subjected to civilized labor, which is now
. wilderness waste-a country with natural
advantages enough to recommend it to the
industrious classes. 1t is large enough to
maintain . population Of three million re.
sidents and enable them to create a surplus
with which to feed the mouths of other mil.
lions less favorably situated. 1t is occupied
BY seventy-fye thousand savage., the major
ity Of whom might n we'll be placed upor
= desert plain, 50 far IS their capacity fo1
self-support is concerned. Ifthey are to b.
improved in habits of industry it can only
be through..the introduction of white enter
prise into their country and the stimulu
Of q system Of labor such as only exists nm
der civilized habits. Indians herded to
gether and isolated from the example o
those classes who have made the world bet
ter and greater than it was in its norma
condition, will never attain to any position
Of worldly or spiritual improvement. TIL
barbarian which is IN inherent quality vii
give way only in the presence Of 3 superio
condition. It will be better for the Indian
Of the Indian territory to destroy the lega
barrier and permit the whites to settl,
among them. As the whites seem deter
mined to do this, the policy Of resistancs Il
the insvitable is worss than folly on tn
part of The eoveFnment.

that, "there is no purpose, wish or in
clination On the part Of the white PEG
pie of North Carolina to abridg-, i'm
pair or destroy tn. liberties OF the col
ored people, and it would be grossly
slanderous to say otherwise" Very
true, We have not heard SO much about
murders and asSassinatons of R-publi-
cans IN North Carolina as in her sister
Carolina, and Louisiana but the North
Carolina style of oppression appears to
b. to throw out the col0red vote after il
had been cast, if it was necessary to
defeat the Republican candidate. We
would like to have the frank opinion OF

not about As speedy a way Of arriving

barrass its political relations.

An interesting letter from our DC, or
c)rrrS pontent gives an account Of the
suit Of the caucuEsing r officers Of
the Legislature, which is a virtual
elertion of those officers when the Legis =
lature meets to-day. From the letter it
will br seen that he lions share of
the Offices have le.n secured by Kent
and New Castle counties, each { these
counties getting Speaker and Clerk,
while Sussex is put off with two Ser
geants-at-.irms, and then Dover, as
usual, gohhling up all the little per-
quisitrs, such as chaplalns, messengers,
tirtmen, etc. {. J. Harrington, Of Kent,
carried off the honors for Speakership
Ct the Senate, and A. G. Osborne, Of
st. Georges, New Castle county, is
elected Clerk, while for officers of the
House, Dr.. Swithin Chandler, Of New
Castle, is chosen Speaker, and John +.
Salisbury, of Dover, is elected Clerk.
We are informed that Mr.. Harrington
is a safe legislator, and fully compe-
tent to discharge the duties of his Office.
Of our own personal know ledge we
know that New Castle county put for
ward its ablest member, and of his in
t-ligeuce and fitness for the Office to
which he was elected, there can be no
doubt. Mr.. Osborne, Clerk Of tn. Sen
ate, We are informed, is very compe-
tent gentleman, and our own long az
quain,ance with Mr.. salisbury, ena-
bles US to say unhrsitatlngly, that no
gentleman could have been selected
who more fully understands the duties
of Clerk Of the House.

it is alleged that other companies are

TIE Corkonians Of Ireland, as will be
seen by report slsew here in the REprB-
LIcAN, do not like General Grant, and
the city authorities refused him the
Inequalities Of the city. The General
shook off the dust Of his feet against
the city and proceeded to other more
intelligent and hospitable towns. T hese
Corkonians charged General Grant with
raising the cry Of ono Popery" in
America, which all intelligent lrishrnen
in America know he did not do 1t
looks however as if these over Jealous
Cork gentlemen were holier than Pope
Leo XIII, who received General Grant
cordially and gladly. If the Corkonians
can stand it we are sure General Grant
can.
