THE WEEKLY OPINION.
BY W. l. BCRVQQB AND J. B. BUMBLE.
SATURDAY MORNING. NOVEMBERS.
Masonic.—Tho Grand Lodge of Free
and Accepted Mason* wa« in session |ln
Macon on Wednesday and Thursday last.

harmonious, and a large amount of busi
ness was transacted. The election of off!

Tnie Fy.Dr.HM. Capital.—The National
Intelligencer boasts of the rapid progress
of Washington in wealth and influence, as
a city, and adds: Before the rebellion it
contained a population of 05,000 souls; but
to-day it is said to have a population of
150,000. counting In the suburb of George
town. The building* erected during the
present year number not less than 1,500,
and yet rents continue exorbitantly high,
and comfortable dwellings are hard to ob
tain at any price. Northern ideas of bu
siness have taken the place of the old way
of letting well enough alone, and there is
a new spirit of enterprise prevailing,
which promises to make the city worthy
of being the national metropolis.
Republicanism in Alabama.—The
Montgomery Advertiser thinks there are
not more than 10,000 Republicans in Ala
bama. But the Huntsville Advocate as
serts that if the returns are examined
it will be seen that moro than tiiat number
voted iu counties where there are very few
colored votes. The best estimate that is
made by those who know better than the
Advertiser is, that the white Union Re
publicans in Alabama arc not less than 30.-
000 voters, and they now have control of
the .state. The Convention will be com
posed of 90 Republicans and 4 Conserva
tives. Seventeen of the members elect arc
colored. Alabama is right.
Another Unpobtonatb.—Tho Marietta
Journal, of yesterday, says: M A man by
the name of Jeremiah Lee, was found dead
in the yard of T. J. Atkinson of this city,
on Sunday morning, October 27th, ultimo.
A poor unfortunate man who has for some
time,'boon Insane—he was sent)to the Luna
tic Asylum, but there being no room for
him, consequently he was suffered to wan
der at large, until death ended his career of
misery.”

our cotemporary, the Journal and Messen

Who Election.
Returns from a large number of the
counties of t! o state. will bo (bund In our
Telegraphic column. These are not satis
factory, because they do not show
whether or not a majority of the registered
vote has been polled. The success of the
Union Reconstruction candidates In a large
majority of the district* Is certain. The
question now to be settled by the final re
turns Is—has a majority of tho registered
vote acted at the polls.
The following counties, heard from, have
voted moro than olio half tho registered
names ns stated:
Whitfield, 8881 Bartow, 131; Sumter, 102;
Thomas, {60; Muscogee, 85: Richmond,
lid; Troup. 151; Floyd, 201; Chatham, 129;
Spalding, 431; Dougherty, BUI; Clark. 30;
Fulton, 303; Campbell, 84; Murray, 174;
Gordon, 1)5; Clayton. 109; Monroe. 42;
Wilkes,387; Clmttoogo, 13.
Reports sbow that the following coun
ties have failed to record a majority of the
registered names; Short—Randolph, 120;
Cobb.490; Bibb. 233; Clay.00; Effingham,
143; Bryan, 73; Henry, 267,
Tho reports are but partial from aomeof
the oouties, but no doubt is entertained as
to the result. The Convention will be held,
through the action of a majority of the
voters of the State, for and against, and
the political compilation of that body was
settled when the dignity party In many of
tlie districts determined not to vote at all.
The Republicans will have more than a
working majority—It will bo overwhelm

Treaty with the. Kiowa and Camanche
Tribtjr—HOO Acre* to Each “ Sal

St. I.oph, Oct. 28.—A treaty made by the
Indian Commissioners with tiie Kiowa and
Caiuauche tribes on the 21st Instant, gives
them about 0,000 square miles—three and a
half million acres of land—embraced be
tween tiie north fork of the Red river and
the Red river, beginning at the Intersec
tion at the 35th parallel with tiie Obth me-
ridian,eiubraeing the south-western corner
of the present Indian territory, with a frac
tion from the Texas tribes, now estimated
at4,C
land will, tiirefore, give them not less than
800 acres to each man, woman and child.
It is also provided that these tribes shad
induce their brethren, the Camnnches in
Northern Texas, to come and live with
them, and if they succeed tiiat tiie United
States will enlarge their reservation, ad
ding a quantity of land sufficient to give
each person of the remaining Camanches
tiiat have been induced to come 320 acres.
Tills will leave a section of country on tho
Texas frontier free from tiie Indians, and
open to the way to civilising a once power
ful roving band. On this reservation there
are several bands of the Camanches
already forming, and by Col. Pennybocker
and others It Is proposed to build an agency
bouse, a warehouse, and other buildings,
for a teacher, farmer, miller, phyilulan,
etc., and that these persons be furnished by
the Commissioners to the Indians, and live
on the reservation and aid them.
in lieu of the annuities provided under
the treaty of 186ft, it is proposed to give
each Indian on the reservation annually, a
suit of clothing, consisting of coat, panta
loons, bat, anu socks, and in addition to
tills, that 925,1)00 lie glveu annually, In such
articles as the Indians most need. Several
other provisions are made to furnish seeds
and agricultural implements to such In
dians as may commence farming. The In
dian* agree to let all tiie railroads be built
and especially tiie 8nu*ky Hill and Platte
roads. They also agree to keep lasting
peace, to capture no women and children,
to attack no more trains, and to cease kill
ing men. and it is also agreed to allow
them to hunt on tiie old reservation, South
ot Arkansas, until tiie settlements drive
them troiu that hunting ground.
Mkoicink Loduk C'rkkk, Oct. 17, 1867*
After a
Marker,
the ground selected as a council ground on
tiie 14th instant. The site is on the banks
of the Medicine I/>‘
called on late maps,
Xuscatunga.) a small creek which rises
forty miles southeast of Fort Lamed, and
empties into the Arkansas. Here are now
encamped the Peace Commission, together
with an escort of 280 soldiers, under com
mand of Major Elliott, of the 7th Cavalry,
and attache* and attendants, which swell
the number to 600 persons. We are in an
immense platteau. which stretches for live
miles on eitiier side of tiie river. On tho
south side of the river arc encamped the
Cheyennes, who are the most hostile In
dians on the Plains, and on the north side
river. In addition to tiie camps of the Com
mission, nre the villages or tho Apaches,
Camanches. Arapahoe*, and Klawas. Tiie
number of Indians here in all amount to
upwards of 3,000, who are distributed as
follows: Out of 320 lodges of Cheyennes,
25 lodges are present; out of 190 lodges of
Arapahoe*, 172 lodges are present; out of
2,000 lodges of Camanches, 100 arc present;
out of 280 lodges of Klowas, 120 are pres
ent; and out of 70 lodgesof Apaches, they
are all present. The lodges will average six
occupants apiece.
These five tribes speak different lan
guages, though they talk with each other
by signs, and they occupy the country
from the north of New Mexico, on the
south, to the mouth of the Yellow Stone,
on the north. The Cheyennes are tiie most
hostile, and ever siuce'the massacre of their
squaws and papooses by Colonel Chiving-,
ton, at Colorado, In June, 1864, at Sand
Creek, they havo been on the war path.
Their depredations have been principally
confined to the attacking of trains and
ranches along the Santa Fe and Smoky
Hill routes. Although peace was declared
with them in October, 1805—it is on ac
count ot the burning of their village, thir
ty mile* from Fort Lamed, by Gen. W. S.
Hancock, on the 19th of April. 1806—they
have continued their hostilities with con
siderable success until quite recently. They
now demand of tiie Commissioners repar
ation for tills act of Hancock, which they
allege,damaged them to tho amount of
9lOO,UUO. Their chief* are Medicine Arrow,
who i* still out, though hi* son is present.
Medicine Arrow is the chief of tiie dog
soldier Cheyennes, which i* the name giv
en to the young men or warrior* of the
nuilon. Tim* far they have refused to come
in and treat with the Commissioners.
Black Kettle, who i* famous in medicine
history, and wins on account of id* friend
ship for the whites, has fallen into disre
pute with hi* ow n nation, and Medicine
Arrow has obtained the influeuee among
the warriors of the nation, which was for
merly exerted by Black Kettle. The name*
of the other ehieis of the Cheyenne* » ru
Big Jake, Bull Bear, Tali Bull, Heap of
Birds. Slim Face, Black White Man, and
Grey Head. While the Cheyenne* are the
most intelligent, uml the leaders of tiie hos
tile Indians, the Apuciie*. are tiie most in
ferior, hot41 in stature Mid lntelligen> e, and
simply the !»•*'.««». their more aundt oreth-
ren. They originally came from New
Mexico, and nre a I Munch of the California
A (Niche*. Many of them have Mexican
squaws, whom they cull Mexieanos. They
have five chief* whose names are Wolf
S:eeve, tho bend chief, Poor Bear, Iron
Shirt and Crow. The Cuiuunchus roam
along the Arkansas, and are the most in
genious ludians of the Plains. Their buf
falo robes nre tbe mo*t sought after, since
they are made of one piece; their chiefs
are; Par-say Wub-sake-njer, (Young Bear)
head chief; Su-puh-mer-uir-ulest (Painted
Lips;) Poii-ne-ak-e-weI»-ton-s»e-yon (Iron
Mountain;) Far-ah-ee-evy (Worse Shield;)
Zu-no-we-uh (Without Wealth.) The Ki
owa* also roam with the Camanches, and
their chiefli are: Batonta, who Is by far tho
moat Atmous Indian of the Plains. His
career boa been a bloody one. He shot tho
tentlnclat Fort Larned, who refused him
admission Into the fort In 1865, and was pres
ent at the Sand Creek massacre. In 1800
Governor John Evans, of Colorado, offered
a reward of tlftOOO for his head, ne car
ries a bogle with him, which he stole from
aaoldlcr whom he had murdered; and yet
no Indian of the Plaint It to load In his
protestations of pcaco and asteveratlont of
Innocence. He it wat who warned Gene
ral Hancock not to barn the villages In
April. 1866,significantly prophesying what
has proven too true, that such action would
be the cause of hostilities on tho Plains.—
Tiie other chiefs of the Klowas are Satan-
geah (Stumbling Bear). Satank (Sitting
Bear), Toneanko (Kicking Bear), Black
Eagle and Sitting Man, The remaining
tribe is the Arrapahoet. Little Ruren,
called tiie most eloquent of ail the ludians
on the Plains, Is the head chief. Spotted

On the arrival ol’ tho Commission on tho
14th, Bull Bear, who at once recognized
Gen. Harney, offered to go out and bring
In the other soldier*. It having been as
certained that very few of the Cheyennes
were present, ana that nearly all of the
warriors were still out, the Commission
gathered such of the Cheyennes ss were In
camp together, and by the aid of tiie Inter
preter, John Smith, wdio lias been forty
years among the Indians, and selected
twenty runners to go out and bring In the
hostile Indians—Cheyennes—sinoe it was
said they were all roaming within throe
hundred miles of our encampment. New
suits of clothes were presented to each of
them, and luteou tiie night of tiie 14th they
let out, having been assured by tbe Com
missioner* tiiat no eooticll would bo held
for eight day*; that tho Commission would
wait for tiie Cheyennes to come in. In the
tnoniing delegates from tiie other tribes
waited upon the Commission, and request
ed that a council be held at once,according
to the origiii-i' announcement, stating that
they hud not revisions enough for eight
days, and sir :ng that the Cheyennes were

ell on the loih, and had remained out in
tentionally. Un hearing that the Commis
sioners had at first resolved to hold a coun
cil w ith such tribes as were preseut at
once; but on further consideration resolv
ed to hold it ou Saturday, tiie 19th.
This decision will defer the appointment
of the commission to meet the Indians at
North Platte on the 18th of November un-
tlll the 2ftth, and the appointment at Lara
mie will be postponed till tbe 20th of No
vember, so that the Commission will hard
ly be through by the drat of December. It
Is probable that some of the Commission
will then goto New Mexico to consider
the state of the Xavujoes.
The Commission are now engaged In
taking testimony that bears on the cause of
the war. We add the testimony of Col.
Wynkoop, agent of the Cheyennes. Ills
testimony is of great importance—of tiie
Hancock village burning, since it is called

The Great Dangerof Reconstruction.
The result* of registration have demon
strated the fact tiiat tiie loyal and sensible
portion of the Southern people is strong
enough to reconstruct the seceded States
on the basis of the Ueconstuctlon Acts.
The four that the Rebels will prevent the
triumph of tbe Congressional policy bas
passed away. The danger und peril in re
constructing the Republic docs not lie Iu
tho power of our toes, but In the overween
ing strength of our friends. In Louisiana,
for Instance, the tactics resorted to by the
opponents of Reconstruction, In absenting
themselves entirely from the polls, has re
sulted In the election of a unanimously
Republican Convention, two-thirds of
whose members are colored men, and nil of
whom are violently radical. In Alabama
tho same tactics were adopted, with nearly
the same result. As a consequence the
construction of the organic law in these
States Is In the hands of a partisan majority,
unfettered and unrestrained by any minor
ity party. There is great danger tiiat such
extreme and unwise measures may receive
the sanction of these Convention* a* not
only w ill be mischievous and injurious iu
themselves but may cause a dangerous re
action against colored suffrage. Already
general confiscation and tho wholesale dis
franchisement of Rebels is talked of, and
propositions to give every negro land,
money and mules.8ug"ested. These extreme
proposals, to tiie credit of tiie negroes l>e it
said, do not emanate from them, but from a
set of white demagogues, who hope to ride
Into office and power on these hobble*. It is
much to be feared that those men and these
measures may acquire undue ascendency in
the minds of the negroes, ami tiiat harm may
be done In consequence. We learn from
Louisiana that tiie Union men of charac
ter, like Warmoiitli, Durant, Sheldon. Ac.,
are gravely apprehensive of dungur on this
very account. The white men in the Con
tention are generally of more zeal than
ability, and there is a fear that they may go
to extremes. So it is through all the South.
The Republican Tarty is in the ascendant
in the South; the uegroes are vastly in the
ascendant in the Republican Tarty; the
negroes, therefore, are practically the rulers
in the South. If they are unwisely extreme,
it can certainly bo pardoned in view of
their wrong* and their lnexperienc
it W’ould be none tiie less a great calamity to
the Union cause, and to tho negroes themselves.
The great peril in reconstruction lies there
fore, in the liability of our friends in the
South to hurry into extreme*. Against
tiiat peril it Inuiooves every true and earn
. friend of a restoration of the Union oi
the biish of freedom und justice to strug
gle with hi* whole might. Let us have no
talk of confiscation and disfranchise
ment. The time for harsh measures to t/i<
Southern whites has passed. When the ne
grot** were enfranchised, there was no lon
ger any necessity tiiat rebels should be
uKfrunclilsod. Two year* ago. In demand
ing equal suffrage a* tiie indispensable
guarantee In reconstruction, wo also un-
their co-operation'could have been secured,
even a* a minority party. In the work of
reorganization. But tiiat possibility Is

From Mexico.—Advice* from Mexico
represent tiiat that country Is In a deplora
ble state. Robberies and murders are on
the increase every where thougiiout the
Republic; all the ruads are unsafe, and
even tho people residing in cities arc com
pelled to watch all night with arms in their
hands to drive off tiie bandits.
Tiie returns of tiie election are coming
In slowly. The proposed reform measure*
of Juarez nre defeated. Gen. Qulroga hud

It was Santa Anna's Intention to leave

Indux Amin*.—A letter hat been re
ceived at the Interior Department from
the Secretary of the Indian Commission,
which states that a preliminary council
waa held with the Indians on tho 19th; bnt
the grand council was postponed, on ac
count of the nbscnco of some Cheyennes.
The chiefs of the Klowas, Camancues, and
Apaches spoke, claiming to have violated
no treaty, but complaining of the non
delivery at the promised Indemnity, and
making earnest professions of peace, and
of a willingness to obey instructions. The
Coinuiision promises to be an entire suc
cess, at least with the five Southern tribes.
Returns from Virginia show that the
Convention was carried by a majority o
25,842, and that fifty-two white and clgh-
teeu colored Republican delegates were
chosen, and thirty Conservatives.
