The arrest of Sullivan, the pugi-
list, in New York, Wednesday, for
violating the laws of Mississippi,
shows that Governor Lowery is de
ternlined to do all that is in his
power to bring the chief, of numer-

one thing that is to he admired in
the action OF MiSsiSsippi's Govern

with him about certain rights pos
SeSSed by those tribes OH their
reservation. 1t seems that none
but those who are of pure Indian
blood or q mixture ofIndian and
white blood have any right under
the treaty to reside on such reser:
vations, and the delegation called
the attention of the Governor to
he fact that there are now on
their reservation persons who have
negro blood in their veins and are
not entitled to reside on the reser
walton according to the law. The
Governor assured the Indians that
he would take the matter under
consideration and see that all the
rights possessed ny them under the
law should be accorded them.
