Senators Hill and Teller and Congressman
Bedford, of Colorado, with General Adams
aud Secretary Schurz, yesterday held long
consultation with Ouray and tue other Ute
Indians now in the city, at the Interior De.
partment. They were in conference some
time aud the question of the removal of the
Utes from their present reservation was freely
discussed without any determination being
reached, All parties admitted to the confer
cuce are exceeding reticent as to what was
done, except to say that nothing was done,
but the indications were that at some future
conference successful treaty with the Indians
would bo reached. 1t seems to be pretty
well settled that there is no possibility of
negotiating with these Indians upon a basis
of surrender of the criminals engaged in
the recent outrage aud massacre at tho White
River agency, aud therefore an effort will be
made to get an amicable arrangement pro-
vding for their removal, permitting Ouray to
punish the Indians in accordance with his
former offer.

The Census Law.


10 me Editor Of The NdtioRal Republican,
SIR: viii you permit constant reader of
your paper to call the attention of Congress to
a necessary amendment of the census law rel
atiye to the return of "rcal estate owned" by
people in the United States, The omission of
that feature in the coming census will pre-
clude the possibility of determining the
progress Of the colorod people as proprietors
l know that IN all the Southern States the
oolored people have in large numbers become
owners of land aud Taxpayers, and that the
number of such, II known, would create much
surprise and prove them more deeply inter
ested In the soil of America than are some
foreigners who command much moro sym.
pathy Congress should not fail to require
the return Of "real ostatate owned" as il has
heretofore been takon when the colored man
was not allowed to bo proprietor.
