sure our readers that these two gen.
tlemen are fully competent to at
tend to any business which clients
may place in their hands.
Mr.. Ellis, from FarmervilIe,
made an enviable reputation in that
place as polished scholar and q
brilliant attorney. He represented
the Senatorial District in the
Senate for four years and won
many laurels as clear headed leg
islator. Our acquaintance with
him since he has been in Bastrop
leads us to form favorable opin-
ion of his ability, and we hereby
take pride in Introducing him to
the litigants of this and the adjoin-
ing parishes. His associate, D.
Todd, Esq, is too well known by
the people of this parish to need
any ''send off from us. His bril-
liant success at the Bar attests his
superior talents, and the most we
can say now is that we congratulate
Mr.. Ellis upon his good fortune in
forming a law firm, one member of
which is David Todd, Esq. We
wish the young gentlemen big luck!
Read the proceedings of the rail-
road convention of last Monday,
and if you conclude that we will
have a road-why, that will be your
conclusion. One man, who wit
messed the proceedings of that con-
vention, told us the other day that
he had already heard the shrill
whistle of the fleet iron-horse. but
we did not believe it. We do not |
mean to say that the man lied-far
from it; but we fear that he was
mistaken. However, when the
''kyars' do come, we hope some of
our friends will let us know, and we
will give proclamation of the fact to

Gov. Hravman's Relurt.

We have carefully peruscd Gov
Brayman's report to the Secretary of
the Interior for the year of 1879. 1t
is well conceived and well written
document, and discusses the affairs of
this territory with plainness and Dir
rectness. II his suggestions could be
needed the condition Of our territory
would soon be much improved The
following is his programme for the adj
.justmcnt OF our Indian difficulties, and
is bat the echo Of the almost universal
sentiment OF the people of the west,
who have studied Indian character
The remedy for existing evils and
ever growing embarrassments must be
sought by making the indians seIf-sus-
tanning, and in time citizens. Abolish
tribal relations. Bring to an end the
authority Of chiefs, and extend over all
Indians the laws Of the United States,
with rights and obligations suitable to
their condition and future wants. Va,
cale all reservations and declare them
public lands. Give to the In 'ians, in
severalty, the first right of selection
upon their own particular relinquished
reservations, and common right with
others as to any public lands, sufficient
for a homestead for each For their
protection against the rapacity Of
SPECTATORS and their own folly, forbid
the alienation Of their lands for q term
Of years sufficient for their education,
aud until they can know the value and
uses OF the homestead. AS further
compensation, andin aid Of their trans
formation, schools should be established
agricultural implements, seeds, and do
mestic animals furnished, and instruc-
! tions III their use given, diminishing
each year; allowing them full time to
vindicate their right to live, with the
alternative Of selfsuppoftor starvation
before them. It would not be c0mpli-
mentary to the white race even To sug.
gest how large a portion of it, now
supporting itself by labor, would cease
to do it if assured Of the annual bouhty
Of the government; and shall more be
expected of this improvident race than
of theml The reservation lands, not
selected by Indians within the pre-
scribed time, slould be open to entry
as other public domain, thus putting
millions Of acres now inaccessible and
valueless into market, and compensa
ting the treasury for the outlays Incl
dent to the change.
The present policy of isolating tbs
Indians upon reservations, where they
associate only with their osn kind
confirms them in their race habits anC
modes Of thought, and d feats the civ
ilizing agencies employed. Our ances
tors found the Indians very different
from white men, and we perpetuatt
the difference. BY refraining frou
bringing them under our laws, we con
firm them in adhesion to their orieina
habits. BY our subsidies and annui
ties we make them hereditary bc.gars

Young Women Of E.eNIston.

We approach the subject with diff
dcnce, encouraged to write from the

solemn truths that were enunciated in
your last issue in regard to the duties,

young men of Lewiston. Why adj
dress the young men solely2 Are not
the young women surrounded by as
many and as dangerous snares as those
beset the daily walks of our young
men of Lewiston? Ask the records of
our courts and they will tell you. Ask
the many maidens with their groups Of
little children made mother maidens
by the DEGREES in chancery and they
can tell you. Ask the heavy hearted
mother whose night yigila are too oft
broken by the returning footsteps Of o
disobedient daughter and she Will tell
you. The furrowed cheeks without
the years, the head adorned with
streaks of gray, they are answers,
living answers, tothe question. Young

it be with a view that death alone can

of Lewiston about 55 miles The
country along the river az far as the
Hoodo mine is mostly settled upon.

Potlatch. 1t is we'll wooded and wa
tered, has an4abundance of white and
yellow pine, tamarack and black fir.
Oats and timothy seem to be a crop
natural to the soil, for the yield is al
most incredible. There is an absence
of frost SO usual with the adjacent
countries and marked difference in

some excellent playing. Singin. by
