THE Senate Committee on Terrific
ries having referred to a subcommittee,
composed of Senators Vest, Butler and
Logan, the question of the organization
of the Indian Territory into a Terrific
rial Government, the latter, after sew
eral sessions, have directed Senator
Vest to prepare 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 p
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 a member of 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 Is and Sc are reserved for school
purposes. The committee, it is said,
are very doubtful as to the right of Con-
gross 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 If
government, and will endeavor to pro-
tect them in their rights by every means
within the power of Congress.

These histrionic caterers to the
lovers of the drama in our town,
are no strangers to the public OF
Grenada. The central 6gure of
these attractive performers is Miss
Mable Norton, who was here last
spring, and by her fine acting,
graceful manners and ladylike
character, won the admiration of
our people. Since then, by the
force of hard study and a careful
selection of other actors, and with
richer ,stumes and improved stage
machinery, she offers rare Induc -
monts to the public generally, and
as evidence that We are not draws
ing upon our Imagination for these

it, we copy the following from that
sterling journal, the Holly Springs
South, where they played II sue
cessful engagement before the cul>
tivated citiZeus of the "city of fow-
rs."-Grenada Sentinel.
The Mabel Norton company gave
us series of three nights dramatic
enter tainmeuts last week with fair
houses. And VIC think we may
say fairly, from observation of the
acting as well rs from the manner
and applause with which it was
received by the audiences, that
their whole performance was a de-
cided success. The main charac
tiers were well deiineated and sup
ported with a very fair talent, equal
10 that of good city stock compa>
ny. In the "Man of Mystery"
which we witnessed. Warwick and
Bolter particularly distinguished
themselves. and we are informed
that in The Phoenix the acting of
the company was generally good.
In ''The Fool of the Family" Miss
Hooker was almost the equal OF
Lolita at her best. The acting of
Mabel Norton as Lonise was supe
Iior, as might have been locked for
from the Star. Her reading lacked
deliberation and sufficient diStinct-
ness of enunciation, though alto
gether respectable. LII the "Black
Diamonds the play, taken as
whole was well rendered, and the
whole thee nights entertainments
gave ample satisfaction and great
pleasure to our theatre going pub
lie. The company is genteel aud
gave no offense to the most fas i'll
iuus and has left with the good
wishes of our people, and a desire
that they may visit US second
time. We commend them to the
favorable notice of our cotempOra-

IT is not that the Republicans
desire GA. field for President that
they are making so many desper-
ate eff.rts to elect him. They are
merely working and scheming for
the success ut their party and for
the continued possession of the
government offices and the "per-
quisites." Garfield was forced on
them at Chicago and they were com
PEELED tn accept him, as they are
now compelled to labor for his elec
