GERoNIMos BAND.
RALEIGH, N. c., Sept. 27.-Some days
ego, Secretary of War Proctor wrote to
Governor Folle in regard to the proposed
removal of Geronimo and his band of
Indians to Western North Carolina. To-
day Governor Folle wrote reply.
| He says that such settlement of the
Indians in North Carolina would create
great dissatisfaction, particularly if the
location should be in the western portion
of the state on the lands to be purchased
from the Cherokee Indians, as proposed
| by the secretary of war.
These lands the governor says are not
reservation lands, but were bought from
the Cherokees, who are now decreasing
in numbers and will soon die, and the
lands will then be settled by white peo-
pie.
The governor, in conclusion. suggests
to Secretary Proctor that the Indians be
colonized in Vermont, in the portions of
that state now being abandoned by white
people. The governor informs the secre-
tary that no happier spot could be chosen
for his purpose.
