The address OF the republican national
committee. which may be found on our
Geographic page. recites the true state of
affairs. The republicans have carried
every Northern State except Connecticut
and New Jersey. and probably have ma
jorities in three southern States. New

republican candidates, but there is evil
dontly meaning in the dllatory, con-
Aicting dispatches which have been given

A Queer Indian Superstition.
Umatilla Oregon Cor. San Francisco Chron

Umatilla (Oregon) Cor. San Francisco Chronicle.
A conference was held Saturday and
yesterday between a delegation of forty
Indians, including seven sub-chiefs, and
Capt. Upham, of the 1st cavalry, at Fort
Walla Walla. It was held for the pur-
pose of hearing the complaints of the
Indians upon whose ranches some white
men had filed. Capt. Upham, through
an interpreter, read them the law on the
subject of retaining land to the exclusion
of the whites-viz., that they must sever
tribal relations and declare their inten-
tions to become citizens, file on theland,
and in every respect do as white men.
They replied that it was against their
religion to- deal in land; that the Great
Chief had made them from the dust of
the earth and after they wandered on
its surface for a certain length of time
they returned to its bosom and again be-
came part of the elements of the earth.
Dealing in land they regarded as dealing
in their own flesh and blood. This ex-
PLANTATION of the Indians aversion to buy
ing and holding land has never before
been made public, and old settlers who
think themselves well informed on all
the characteristics of the aborigines are
inclined to regard this as the true reason.
The Indians were somewhat dissatisfied
at the result of the conference, and there
is fear that trouble will result, as Wool
Mool, one of the sub Chiefs, remarked
Literally translated): 'I am afraid the
ground will rise up and make bodily
harm between the whites and the In-
dams"
The Indians represented an this con-
ference are four hundred strong, and
have always been peaceable It is be-
lieved, however, they will, if necessary,
make fight for their rights. The white
population is now so large all around
there that little fears are entertained of
their daring to make raid.
