CURRENT TOPICS.

AT'the recent meeting of the Board
of Indian Commissioners in Washing

preferred by Gen. Clinton B. Fisk
against Commissioner Hayt. The lat

were the first witnesses called. The
testimony is not made public.

The Senate Committee on Terrific
RES having referred to subcommittee,
composed of Senators Vest, Butler and
Logan, the question of the organization
of the Indian Territory into Terrific
rial Government, the latter, after sew
eral sessions, have directed Senator
Vest to prepare a bill providing for the
establishment of the Territory of
Oklahoma, and the appointment by
the President of the usual Territorial
officers. The Legislative branch of
the proposed Territorial Govern
ment is to consist of the Council of ID
members and the House of 26. Repre-
sentatives are apportioned among the
several tribes according to the number
of qualified voters. Any male Indian 81
years of age, who has adopted the Gus
toms of civilized life, will be entitled to
vote. Lands are to be surveyed, and
each person who is member of a tribe
occupying reservation within the limits
of the Territory is entitled to a
homestead of 16O acres. The bill
repeats all acts granting lands in the
Territory to railroads upon the extin-
guishment of the Indian title, and Sec
tons 16 and Sc are reserved for school
purposes. The committee, it is said,
are very doubtful as to the right of Con-
gress to disposses the Indians of their
lands, and they will endeavor to so
frame the bill as to prevent those objec-
tons which the Indian tribes within the
Territory have hitherto made against
the organization of Territorial form Gf
government, and will endeavor to pro-
tect them in their rights by every means
within the power of Congress.

IT is reported that Ouray has in
formed Secretary Schurz that he can
not deliver up the - prisoners because
his tribe will not let him do so. He
says, however, he can have them killed.
Ouray further proposes that the Govern
ment move the White River Utes into
the Uintah Valley in Utah and give the
Uncompahgres 16O acres of land each in
the Grand River Valley in Colorado, so
that they may settle down to agricul-
tural pursuits. 1t is understood that the
Colorado delegation in Congress will
favor this proposition because they be-
lieve that otherwise there will be war
in the spring and the war would cost
the people of Colorado ten millions of
dollars.

Why not try the man who came
within an ace Of beating Seymour in
1858?
Why not try Pendleton? He is not
tinctured so much with soft money no
tons as he was in 1868. He comes
from the central State of the CONT
nent.
He is rich, young, good-looking. He
makes a good speech. He entertains
hansomely. He is learned. He be-
longs to the aristocracy of the Democ-
racy. He is a courageous man. He
has a strong hold on Ohio Democracy.
He would carry Indiana as well as Mr..
Hendricks, and would stand as fair a
chance in New York as Mr.. Bayard
or Mr.. Seymour. The South, bound
to him by the ties of ancestry, would
support him heartily. He would stand
as good q chance of carrying Ohio as
any Democrat that can be named
better, we think.

THE STEAM HORSE GIVING COM
MERCIAL INDEPENDENCE TO
THE SOUTH.

President Cole, of the Nashville,
Chattanooga and St.Louis railway, has
a system of railroads embracing 2,080
miles of road in the West and South
all conYerging upon Savannah Ga.
This railroad King has made the dis
lance from ST. Louis to Savannah 157
miles less than from Nashville to New
York, thus bringing Liverpool VIA the
Southern seaboard much nearer the
grain fields of the West than over the
present Northern system of railroads.
Cole has recently gotten control of the
Georgia Central road. Gov. Brown,
of Ga, on being asked as to the neces-
sity for the consolidation of certain
roads, replied:
We felt that the South ought to COM
pete with the Northern lines for the
export trade. There are four great
lines that carry the Western produce
to the ocean. The New York Central,
the Erie, the Pennsylvania Central
and the Baltimore q Ohio. Each of
these lines pierces the West, and it is
under the control of one man. He
says Co. and everything moves.
The trade that they do Is enormous.
They have virtually unlocked the
West and made valuable exports of
corn that years ago was used as fuel
for the lack ola market. The South

ocean. 1t is true We have had contin-
uous lines from the West to the ocean,
but they have always been under q
half dozen different arrangements,
usually antagonistic or Jealous of each
other. The work has been insufficient
and uncertain. We have here a line
that is virtually under one control from
St. Louis to Savannah, while the same
line has its steamships to ply the
ocean"
"You think, then, that you can
compete with the Northern ines?"
! "Why can't we? We have line
that is 300 miles shorter from St.
Louis (Which is the great center of the
Vest to our port than the New York
Central is to its port. And then, pro-
rating the water line from Savanna tC
New York at three miles of water fol-
one of rail, we have a line that is 20
miles shorter from St. Louis to New
York than the Pennsylvania Central.
Our roads, when laid with steel rails
cost about $4,000 q mile, while the
! Northern cost averages in some places
| S24, 900 a mile. We thus have less
capital invested and less to pay divi
bends on. Then our line is open all
the year around, while many of the
Northern lines are blocked with snow
and ice many times during the year,
We have every advantage, it seems tc
me, except experience, and that We
will get very rapidly. The trouble j.
that there has been geneoal impress
sion that the South cannot do these
things. The only reason Is that we
have never before had line to do il
with. We propose IS do it now.'

Gen. Grant conversed quite ut length
about the material interest and pros
perity of North Carolina and other
Southern States, evincing much inter

Which may be found in Carolina and

many fine farms of the Arkansas river

account of the lives lost in trying to

the seeds are sown by the devil. When

morning, be was Mortified to see that
the ''hurrah grass" had pulled up all
the corn and thrown it over the fence.
