CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-The lumber fleet began
to come into the river Friday morning. The
boats all had weather-beaten appearance,
and it was evident that they had been having
a hard time beating against the gale Of
Thursday. Many of them had lost their
deck loads, and all had sustained some in
luries. At the tug offices news from the
Michigan side was awaited with some anx-
iety. Steam vessels that arrived Thursday
night reported large fleet on the lake and
they disappeared during the storm, 1t is
feared that they were driven onto the east
shore by the force of the gale.

Decisive Battle To-day lreasurcrtOu
Asks for Il Mandamus Compelling the
state Auditor and Treasurer to Receive
CoupOns-A Case of Interest 10 Tax
payers and Especially to Treasures.
fIndex-Appeal.l
An interesting and important coupon
case will come up in the United States
Circuit Court at Richmond to-day, upon
the issue of which the efficacy or inefli-
cacy of the obstructive Riddleberger leg
isIation will depend. In fact, the whole
fabric Of this legislation will fall to the
ground if decision adverse to the
State is rendered. Hence, in decisive
results. the case will be the most inn
portant yet considered in this most yexed
question Of Virginia Indebtedness and
her obligation to receive coupons for
taxes The action is brought by Treas
urer Couch Of Petersburg, against the
auditor and treasurer of the State of
Virginia asking that they be compelled
TO receive the sum of $S,303.SS rendered
Treasurer Couch last November by the
taxpayers Of Petersburg The object of
this suit is 10 enable the treasurer to
close his account, which, as it now stands
lin common with other treasurers who
have refused coupons), is not in a
very satisfactory condition either to
the officer or his securities. BY the laws
of the State he is directed to levy on the
property Of parties rendering coupons,
while on the other hand, by the decisions
of the courts, these laws are declared
null and void, and he is forbidden to re-
turn the parties delinquent or to levy on
their property; and, if he does 50, he does
it it at the peril Of himself and his sure
ties. Here is a collision between the
courts and the State in which the treas
urers find themselves between an upper
and a neither stone i'm which they must
be ultimately crushed. st least, the ter
rors of death to a treasurer just now
would surely be enhanced by the GER
tainty of litigation and possible loss to
his family and sureties through matters
over which he has no control, except by
the test course which Treasurer Couch
very properly pursues.
Messrs. Royal and Guigon will repre-
sent Treasurer Couch, and the State will
probably be represented by the Attorney
General

The bill passed by the House for the
allotment Of lands to Indians in severalty
provides that each head OF family shall
have 100 acres, so for each other Indian
over 1S years old and for each orphan
under 49, and 40 for each other person
under Is.
The reservations, except those belong
ing to certain civilized tribes in the
Indian Territory and elsewhere, shall
be divided into tracts Of a prescribed
size, one Of which is to be allotted to each
individual as his sole and separate estate.
Lest this distribution should enable de-
signing men to acquire by purchase the
title to lands thus awarded in severalty,
the United States will hold them in trust
for twenty-five years, and then convey to
each Indian or his heirs his own land in
fee.
The Government reserves the right Of
way for public highways. The Interior
Department is authorized to treat with
each tribe
The great feature of the bill is that it
confers citizenship on the Indian, and
thereby opens to him the one great OPP
portunity of his destiny thus far.
As for the enormous surplus of Indian
lands, the Government thus acquires it
after this allotment in severalty, and can
open the vast areas to settlement
