Looking to Congress for Relief.

Trades organizations throughout the
United States nave issued a petition re-
q~uesting the president to call an extra
session OF congress to bedevoted exclusively
to the consideration of measures for the
relief OF the Industrial class OF the country
and a revival of business. The petition,
after calling the attention OF the president
to the general stagnation Of business, says:
The consequences OF this depression are
especially severe upon the luboring people,
small manufacturers and farmers, who are
without any reserve means upon which to
live or to pay debts and save their homes
and property from forced sales. Employ
ers and employed are involved in
common disaster. and we believe that it is
in the power of congress and the executive
to greatly relieve this depression by wise
legislation. 1t asks that an extra session
be convened on or beiorc the last Monday
OF September 1855.

Senator Dawes, in q vigorous letter
published in the New York Tribune,
states the origin of the cattle-leases in
the Indian Territory and reviews the
difficulties which have beenoccasioned
by them. Upto q certain time, the
Government dealt firmly with the APP
2plications which were made for per
mission to lease the Indian lands.
Permission was refused, and the cattle
men were forbidden to erect a rod of
fence or appropriate an acre of land.
Then came a time when Secretary
Teller suddenly changed front. "A
printed letter was addressedto certain
6fthe cattle men, informing themthat
while the Interior Department had no
authority to ratify the leases, it
considered them highly advantageous,
and would not interfere to- prevent
the Indians from making them, but
would on the other hand, so long as
there was no complaint from the
Indians, keep other.Eoutsiders off the
lands SO leased. This was all the per-
mission thst the cattle mel needed.
II gave them the quasi sanction Of the
Government, allowed them to make
their own TERMS with the Indians, and
assured them 81 protection in the oc-
supancy Of the leased lands. There
was, Of course, 4 great rush for this
new opportunity, and leases were
briskly made. at 4 rental Of one or
tmo cents nm acre, until almost every
acre OF land mas covered by
4 lease. The Interior Department
saalnWhile had virtually promised to.

devote himself to contemplative smok-

his intimates to smoke, and chuckle
over childish stories with them In the

return hospitality; the harem system
puts that out of question. Finally,
he likes to go to bed and rise early
