The evening session Of Tuesday
can hardly be said to have been a
disappointment, although Rev. N.
Nj. Long, ,ofthe Church Of the Stran-
ger, Memphis, Tenn, failed TO ap-
pear on account Of illness. Rev.
II. G. Cronin was prevailed upon
to preach another sermon in his
rich. devout and forcible style.
His sermon was preceded by a
topic by Prot. G. d. Adams, of Dru.
ry, on "The Mission OF Congrega-
tionalism in the Southwest" In
this paper the best characteristics
Of Congregationalism we're clearly
and attractively displayed; life and
character to be judged by fruits;
no censorious oversight over in
dvidual opinions or individual
methods, thus allowing the largest
freedom; the democratic form Of
the church made Christian educa-
ton a necessity; consequently, al
though II is one Of the smallest de-
nominations, more than one-third
Of all the colleges and academies
in the union had their origin in
the educational activity Of the
Congregational church; the great
preponderance of Congregational
lists in college presidonces and fac
ulties was a fruit Of this spirit Of
Congregationalism; freedom Of
opinion and the progressive spirit
induced by this polity had favored
progress of doctrine. The yigor
OF Congregationalism at the pres
ent time has this significance, that
the progress Of knowledge viii en-
hance rather than diminish
the glory of Christ. Such a
church, such Christian culture
is needed in the southwest, where
there are already many churches,
but where the comfy which re-
fleets the spirit Of Christ does not
always prevail, and especially
where the want Of the progressive
spirit. has a tendency to isolata. the
church, to cause it lose by default
the affection and respect Of the
masses.
This evening losed a most in
ieresting session which adjourned
to meet in Lebanon, Mo, in Oc-
tober.
The many friends of Mr.. Olda-
ker and Rev.Mr. Wheat, both form
erly OF this place, will be glad to
know that both are we'll and doing
well in Aurora. J. NJ.

OUR SPECIAL WASHINGTON
CORRESPONDENTS.

WAsHISeroS. d C., May 1850
EDITOR CHIEFTAIN.-Now that
the act TO organize the territory Of
Oklahoma and to est ablish courts
in the Indian Territory has passed
both houses of congress the gener.
al inquiry will be, what are its
provisions, scope and intent.
Therefore it may be of much in
terest 70 some Q. YOUR readers to
receive what information they can
on these subjects. This may not
be SO well done by an examination
Of the act rs from the opinions and
declarations ofthose whose province
it was 10 advocate and aid in its
passage through congress, because
one may not be satisfied with his
opinion Of the matter and would
rather leave it to that Of those who
made the law and yet remember
or have recorded their understand
ing ofthe purposes that were to be
served and their extent and mean
ing.
1t would not be wise or consist
cnt with our interest to say that
the act violates any of our rights
when those who advocated its pas.
sage say that it does not, especial
ly those whose reputation is above
suspicion and have heretofore
proven themselves to be our best
friends.
While there may be some pro-
visions in the act that may prove
in time to be troublesome and vir-
tually effect our interests as
seriously as a direct and intention
al violation of treaty obligations,
yet it may not be entirely correct
that such has been done. Section
43 Of The act may be referred to as
an illustration Of this position.
This section provides a way
whereby an Indian may become a
citizen of the United States and
yet retain all rights and privileges
in his nation to which he was for
merly entitled. 1t is simply as
offer to the Indian to become
citizen of the United States,
if he wants to, by providing a way
for that purpose. Much blame
may be attached to the temptor
and the inducement may be con-
sidered a bribe offered to corrupt
the Indian but after all the con-
domination will be his for being
traitor TO his country and his peo-
pie.
There are other parts Of the act
which may be referred to, but not
as apropos in their application to
such a feature Of the act. One is
in relation to the improvements Of
non-citizens and white citizens by
adoption, which, when in excess
Of one hundred and sixty acres,
may to the extent Of that excess
be sold to a citizen of the nation
of which the debtor is a resident
or an adopted citizen, and to such
person only. Or the excess may
be put into the hands Of a receiver
and the rental 60 to the payment
Of the judgment. This arrange
ment is simply upon a contingen-
cy, and, because it is. it may not
be considered a direct infringe
ment upon our rights.
No non-citizen being able under
our laws to own improvements in
our nation either by permission OF
engagement with any citizen by
reason Of nativity, treaty or adop-
ton, the possibility Of such sale
or rental is reduced to one chance
only-that Of the adopted citizen.
This procedure, though wholly
dependent upon circumstances (
that may never take place, the
question would arise in the pres
ence ofan actual case 81 The kind.

A TELLING COMPARISON.

An Apt Illustration of the Close Rela-
tionship of Mans and Woman's Rights.
If it were women only who are.injured
by their subsection, still the cause of
this evil should be searched for and ex-
posed; but it does not stop there. Nature
has made man and woman as closely
bound together in every interest in life,
says Mrs. Ellen b. Dietrich, in recent
speech, as were those Siamese twins,
who, if made for an example, could not
more forcibly have represented the
working of the spiritual tie which unites
the two halves of the body of humanity,
causing them irrevocably to rise or fall
together.
Now, II we imagine Chang man and
Eng woman, and that by the short
sightedness of some unknown projeni-
tors the fiction had been imposed upon
them both that every Chang was mas
ter ordained by Heaven to control and
support every individual Eng, VIC may
begin to understand some Of the diff
culties under which humanity now hob
bles along. Here are Changs staggering
under the load of able-bodied and idle
Engs, whom they persist in carrying
perched in luxurious ease upon their
aching shoulders, when it would
be better for both that the WON.
an should walk. Here are millions
more where man and woman toll
side by side under equally heavy
burdens, yet their false attitude of pau
per wife and supporting husband is
maintained by unjust laws. Here are
Changs retarding their own intellectual
progress, because their vanity is wound
ed by having female Eng keep the
pace of an equal by their side. There
are Changs falling into the depths Of
horrible pits into which they meant to
force their accompanying Eng, them
selves perishing like fowlers caught in
their own net. Here is an Eng who
could forward Chang's interest If he
would change places with her, by hel
clearer vision, quicker tongue, nimblel
fingers and brighter wit; but no, he lum
bers on doing what his father did, and
the brain which is considered, but
whether the brain is in a gowned OF
trousered body. Here, also, are Chang
whose hands and feet have failed, ant
whom tender Engs now lovingly carry
as helpless loads, while earning tn,
bread that keeps them both; but still
the fiction is shouted aloud: "Thy Chang
shall rule over thee; he does the hare
work Of the world"
Can any dispassionate man fail to Sc,
that it is not three-penny question o
unnatural rivalry" with man tha
moves the thoughtful men and womei
who advocate equal rights to-day? Is
not, rather, question of human policy
as to whether men shall choose to be in
fluenced by interiors from whom natur
can not set them free without extermi
mating our race, or whether. removin
all legal differences, they will at leas
give these 'inferiors" q chance to q
themselves for true companionship?

SUFFRAGE AS A BURDEN.
The Question of Politics Occupying Toe
Much of Woman's Time.

fne question OF Politics Occupying Too
Much of woman's Time.
In an able address given at the annual
meeting of the Massachusetts, Woman
Suffrage Association, recently, Colonel
Albert Clarke answered the objection
that suffrage would unduly increase
women's burdens:
No fact in human progress is better
attested than that every industrial,
economic, and political improvement
displaces more hardships than it intro
duces. There are many things in wom-
ans life which are more burdensome
and less important than would be such
participation in the government as the
average man endures. All that intelli-
gent citizenship requires is such atten-
tion to public questions as women give
now almost in the same proportion as
men, especially when important elec.
tions are pending.
Formerly there was a somewhat
weighty argument against the descent
of women into ''the dirty pool of poll
tics" for often the hustings and the
polls were not inviting places. But this
was met by the reasonable Claim that
woman's presence would improve them
and within the year past they have beer
immensely improved by the Australian
ballot system. In the school COMMITTEES
elections in this State, and in othel
elections elsewhere, women have no
found it disagreeable at the polls
It begins 10 be obvious that, so far a
mere voting is concerned, women viii
not be seriously inconvenienced- Moth
