CONGRESS- AND THE PONCAS.

There is one point In President Hayes's
message concerning the Poncas to which we
wish to call attention. 1t Is that "ample time
land opportunity should be given to the
members of the tribe freely to choose their
allOments either on the old or new reserva-
TONS" II this is not done, any act passed
by Congress for their reliet will he worth just
so much waste paper. The POncas, 1t should
be remembered, have been for nearly four
years virtually prisoners on their reservation
in the Indian Territory. under surveillance OF
Agent Whiting and his white police. They
have known nothing OF their real condition OF
legal rights except as he has chosen to impart
it to them. The Commissioners sent by Presl-
dent Hayes two months ago were the first
whites friendly to them who were admitted
within the reservation the messenger from
their counsel WIS arrested and driven OFT
with a pistol at his head In spite OF public
sympathy in spite of President Hayes's
urgent action in their favor, they are
still held to-day as prisoners; and, more than
that, Agent Whiting is justified by law in so
holding them. Secretary Schurz recently
cited the iniquitOus law by which an Indian is
forbidden to leave his reservation or a white
Agent he cited it, too, in justification of
Writings course with this very tribe. Hav-
ing the law on his side, there is no reason to
suppose that their jalcr, Whiting, will give
the Poncas during the next year particle
more liberty than they have had, unless forced
to do so by Congress.
Whatever act may be passed IN their behalf,
therefore. it should I've clearly aud distinctly
stated that they thereafter shall be at liberty
to come and go, to consult with
their friends, to choose their land freely,
as both the President and Commissioners urge,
as an act of simple justice. Let this right be
assured 10 them in terms so plain that no
Indian Bureau Agent can misunderstood or
dodge it, These people have been peaceable,
law-abding Christian men aud women. They
have continued SO. in spite OF their wrongs.
The only reason for keeping them imprisoned
for four years was that they had been robbed,
and it was net expedient they should know how
they could regain their property. There Is the
fact in plain English. If they or our other
educated and Christian fellOw-citizens OF the
same race are as the President suggests, to
be placed as soon rs practicable upon the
same footing AS the other permanent inhabi-
tants of this country" the first step should be
to accord them the right, which we grant to
every dog, to come and go at pleasure. so long
as they do not interfere with the rights of
others Before the war the slave was kept in
lust such duress by his master on the planta-
ton. But it is curious fact that at present
tie Indian is the only inhabitant of any civil
lied Christian country who, while innocent of
any crime is deprived of his liberty from
birth, and held in Jail bounds by the laws of
that country.

Of the statements made by Mr.. Wendell Phillips
that the late Mr.. Sumner had but a very small Ii
rary; that he owned very few books and that was
his custom when lie wished TO prepare himself to
speak or to write upon any subject to borrow from
the Libraries as many books he could which

correspondent thinks that Mr.. Phillips was IN error,
and says that lie knows from personal observation
that Mr.. Summers library occupied two sides if not
three of two large rooms, the rows of shelves ex-
tending nearly to the ceiling; and that the collection
was specially strong French books 1t is no proof
of the paucity of a mans library that no borrows

TILE CHARTER .SCHE.ME

1t il believed that the Charter bill reported by
Senator McCarthy's Committee will be urged
this week, and discussion of it, at least, may
he anticipated.
The majority Of the blunders arising from
special charter legislation have come frcm
piecemea tinkeling, SO much of which went on
during the Tweed days. Amendment here and
there. affecting one department now and
another later on, tended TO much confusion.
Almost invariably such changes were suggested
by individual Commissioners to benefit their
own departments, without consideration of how
Others would he affected and confusion in

charter of 1873. which stands, with various
changes, ut this time rs the law OF the city.
Time and experience have shown that the pres

wlscst TO substitute an entirely new charter IA

The Mccarthy bill is not perfect, by any means.
1t has the recommendation of being framed in
the interest Of the city, ut the suggestion
and demand of the general public. Some
of its propositions the projectors doubt

so many officials as to build up II powerful oppo-
sition to its passage and render it very doubt
full. But the bill has certain features which
can be unhesitatingly commended, and which
are worthy OF adoption in some other form. if
the measure should fail.
Among these features is that consolidating
the small offices aud doing away with needless
bureaus. The Subdivisions of the various
departments are SO numerous as to con-
fuse business as well rs to au gment ex-
penscs. The Commissioner of Jurors and
the Supervisor of The city Record ale
