LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
NEGROES IN THE INDIAN TERRITORY
TO ue Editor

TO Ghe Editor.
In reply to statement published by you
yesterday morning permit me to say that the
accusation as to u lack of knowledge ON the
part of the secretary Of the interior concern
ing the condition of tho negroes in the Indian
territory was nadvertcnt and not Mt OIL in
tended to reflect upon the secretary who, in
deed, has been most kind in the matter. TheI
case Of these negroes Is not one Of fictitious y
injustice, Ms You will find by reference to the
treaty between the government at Washing
ton and the ChOctaw and Chickasnw tribes Of
Indians, concluded April %, 1856 ratihca-
tion advised, with amendments July 2, 1906
and proclaimed July 10, 1866, in which IL Is
stipulated that said tribes of Choctaw and
Chickasaw Indians should in consideration Of
the sum of 1900, 900, ccde TO the United States
certain described lands, provided that said
sum should be held and invested
by the United States at not less than
3 per cent, in trust for the said nations until
the legislature OF said nations should cmanci-
pate and cnfranchisc their negro slaves and
grant to each head of negro family formerly
slaves of said Indians 10 acres of land In
seveTalty. In tho event this condition was
not complied with by the Indians within two
years the government stipulated within
ninety days after the expiration of tho
two years 10 use the said $3OOOOO, with
accrued interest, for the removal of said
negroes from among those tribes of Indians.
Seventeen years have elapsed aud neither
government nor Indians have executed the
terms of that treaty. Meantime the negro
people have behaved in good filth. They
have cultivated lands but TO have the Indians
coniiscatc them. They are without schools
for their children and without franchise for
themselves. They cannot vote. They
have no access TO the Indian
courts. They are incompetent rs
Jurors, aud they are equally incompetent rs
witnesses. In fine, they have no access TO
Indian courts, except they are dragged thereto
as defendants against absurd and unfair accu-
sations. All this and more is true of 10000
American negroes, every word of which can
be, on inquiry, amply verified. Hence, am
of opinion that you will agree with me that
the cause of those 30,0 0,000negroos in the Indian
territory is hardly one OF Fictitious injus-
tice." Very respectfully,
j. MILTON TURNER.

TIE HOUSE.

Mr.. Forney presented the conference report

was agreed to.
[The bill appropriates $67OOOO, being

to one minute. Lost-yeas 1873, nays S3, not
the necessary two-thirds in the affirmative
The house then at 1;15 went into committee
of the whole (Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, in the

Hiscocll objected to the river and harbor bill,
and the committee rose and reported the OBJ
lection to the house.

that the consideration Of the river and harbor
bill should be resumed and Immediately went

Mr.. Turner offered an amenment providing
that $4,000 of the sum appropriated for the
improvement Of the Ohio river shall be
used in improving the Grand Chain rapid.
Adopted.

sum shall be expended in improving Indiana
chute.
On motion of Mr.. Dawes, an amendment
was adopted providing that $l0,500 of the

ing the Fox and Wisconsin rivers, Mr.. Bragg
moved to strike out the words "and Wisconsin
river" and contended that that river was not
navigable.
After discussion the motion was lost
