ChickasaH Freedmen.

The Indian Champion of the Sd
inst. publishes the short bill intro-
duced into the House of Represen-
tatiyes by Mr.. Shelly of Alabama,
and referred to the Committee on
Indian Affairs, for the relief Of the
freedmen of the Chickasaw Nation,
and regards ii IS an unwise and IL
legal measure. By the treaty of
1866 the Chickasaws reserved the
right, as they might elect, either to
adopt their freedmen or give them
a bonus Of about $4,000, arising
from their lands under treaty with
the United States. CHwisely, as
we think. the Chickasaws exercised
their right Of choice, and decided
not TO receive them as citizens.
And there the question hangs, and
has hung fer years-the Chicka-
saws adhering to their action, and
the government steadily failing to
comply with Its obligations. And
now comes the proposition TO over
ride the treaty by an Act of Con-
gress, and force the Chickasaws 10
adopt them, whether willing or not.
It strikes the average mind as pass
ing strange that so simple matter
cannot be squarely and promptly
Of by the authorities of
the government. !

Prom Osage Agency.

ED.CHIEFTAIS: One of your Vim
ita dudes paid our Agency a 1yin 6
visit a few days ago. He arrived
in company with a young lady from
Lawrence, Kas., on mail coach from
Coffeyville, Kas., 10 this place. We
were somewhat surprised to find
out that he was not an Inspector AS
We had been looking for one by
same coach. He could have i'm
posed on our ignorance if we had
not detected the dude. However
We were glad to see him and made
his stay as pleasant as possible.
He spent two days taking in the
town and surroundings and then
became impatient to return to
COffeyville. He left bright and
early on the I'd inst. mounted on 4
rather poor pony. He had no
baggage only a pair Of light weight
gauntlets that had been presented
to him here. The distance to travel
was only thirty miles we heard
from him from a passing traveller,
who met him about 2o'clock, twen-
ty miles on his way. Then he was
doing more walking than riding;
he being sore and the pony tired.
He arrived at Bartlesville in time
20 take a night ride of thirty miles
more to COffeyville. Whilst here
he spoke in very glowing terms of
Vinita and her citizens; he cant be
persuaded however, that Vinita
viii not be a great Rail Road Gen.
tre, and that before many years.
He also spoke in praise of Wor-
cester Academy, its faculty, schol-
ars, etc. He is also of the impress
sion that the little town of Vinita
a considerable amount of
beauty, or at least he sees it that
way, and any one not believing it
can be convinced by calling on him
at the Frisco depot, and he viii |

The country has been full to
overfOwing with parties from the
east who are desirous Of investing
in cattle and ranch property, but
very few sales are reported owing
to the inclination of our ranchmen
to ''hold fast 10 that which is goodn.
They have discovered that good
ranges are hard to find in the great
grazing country and still harder to
buy, consequently prices are firm
and considerably above what the
buyers think they can afford to

THE MONEY MARKET.
RrNnAY. March lR-P. n.


A greater general activity was observed last
week in commercial and mercantile circles than has
been witnessed during the current season; yet
continuance of unsettled weather not without
its influence in retardng trade. The one serious
obstacle TO an immediate general Improvement in
affairs, is the condition of the markets for our eI
portable products. The exports of gold were
checked last week so that the shipments from this
port TO Europe amounted to only 1852, 347; but
that was partly because of exceptional exchange
transaction by our Canadian friends the proceeds Of
which, in gold may trckle over Northern Dor
der But whether that gold remains here for
time or goes 10 Canada, the fact remains
that the exchanges again strong, and
that our exports of products are not
sufficient to supply the market with the exchange
which Is demanded The inland and ocean rates
for freight are unusually low, yet neither corn
bread-stufs provisions are sought after abroad
There Is only one possible for the stagnatlon
in the movement at the current freights: Our mar
kets relatively higher than the foreign markets.
and they not because of small stocks IN hand
nor because of poor prospects for the next crop.
The stocks are unusually large, and the reports OF
the condition Of the winter wheat crop are highly
satisfactory. 1t is speculation that blocks the
wheels of commerce. and places values on our pro-
ducts that are not warranted by the supreme law OF
supply and demand-a law that finally will inevita-
bly, command obedience, During the week the mar
kets for both gram and provisions were
considerably depressed but they rallied. So
at the close the Chicago prices show
declines for wheat and oats Of only 39@'s cents
while corn is = cent higher, pork 80 cents higher
and lard is % cents higher than the closing OF
the preceding Saturday. The interior movements
of grain were larger than the OF preceding
weeks, and indicate an increase in stocks by the
next weekly report.
The receipts and shipments of wheat, corn and
oats at the principal Western points of acculnula-
ton for four weeks compare as follows:
