ALBANY, March 21.-In emulation Of Con-
ness the Assembly has been looking around
br something to mako It famous. and It has
lighted on the Indian problem. It spent tho
morning talking about Indiana. Tho debate
was interesting. a. showing how many ways
the word Indian can be pronounced, and In
s~tructiye In bringing forth the factthat there
are 4,707 Indians In this State, and that they live
in q state OF vice and shame that appalls even
the Assembly. For years and years these Indi-
ans have been leading wicked lives and preying
on tho hon roosts and garden patches around
their reservations. Though some 1856 Indians
live on Long Island, near tho pleasing shores
of Bhinnscock Bay: though other Indians have
q reservation near Niagara Falls, and still
others inhabit . part OF Saratoga during the
GUNNER. no Legislature has taken advan-
tase OF the opportunity to have o committee Of
its members spend . pleasant summer inves-
tigating their condition. Mr.. ]. 8. Whipple OF
