A LEA FO THE PONCAR, Epectat Dispatch to The Chteago Tribune, | , Wasmnatoxs, D. C., Feb. Secretary Schurz has lately had a correspondence with Mrs. Helen Hunt Jackson, a well-known authoresss, concerning the Ponea Indians. ‘This correspondent having,been referred to at public meetings in behalf of.thg Ponca In- dians in tho West, the Secretary has deemed it expedient to give It to the public, Mrs. Jackson wrote to Secretary Schurz, under date of Jan. 9, that she had received a letter front a Boston lady who sald that there wero many persons who would give largely to the Ponca cause If they had confidence in tho Secretary of the Interior as a friend of the Indians, to aid them’ by publicly and cordially Indorsing the effort now making on behalf of the Poneas, orto give his reasons for not doing so inn clear and explicit form so that thoy could be understucd. As a filend of the “Indinus he could not afford to ignore or lose the benedit of public interest now cxelted In this case. The Boston lady, iwhom Mrs, Jackson quotes at length, strongly urges the latter te secure the Indians an opportunity to defend their rights in the courts, : AND SAYS? “TfSeeretary Schurz will glye countenance to the effort, the $3,000 required to complete ‘the $10,000 asked for this purposo can be ralsed tn Boston in twenty-four hours,” Mrs, Jackson says the lady herself will make up the sum wanted. To this letter Seeretary Schurz replied, Jan, 17, apologizing for the dels, and saying that there is no case to be carrfed to the United States Supreme: Court, there being no appeal from Judge Bundy’ decislon by the Government. The appeal en talned was withdrawn by Schurvsyadvic because he did nut agrees with the principh upon which the argument was based, As. tothe right of the Ponens to thelr old reser. vation in Missouri, the Supreme Court has re- peatedly decided that an Indian tribe cannot sue the United States ora State. ‘This is ap- parent In thocase of the Cherokeo Nation ys.

She asks whether any bill has been presented in Congress whieh ls designed to secure: the rights at Indians in thelr lands as whites aro secured, * Schurz replics, Jan, 26, that he wouldthave no greater objection that Indians should bring sult fa the courts to assert their rights thin he would that any white inan should do so.

Such a sult could really be of no benelit to the Indiana, and would only inure to the ad- yantago of private persons.” As to ‘the trans fer of the money recelyod, Mr, Schurz thinks t would bo betfer to frankly ask tho con- tribytors for permlsslon to so divert it than tu spend if uselesly, Soveral bills have al- read v been introdiced in Congress to give the Indians thelr lands In severulty, and he INDIAN TEMRITORY, Tho Indian Cominittes agreed on an fin- portant bill this morning, which, if it be- comes 8 law, may do mivh to solve sone of the problems of Tocal government in the In dlan ‘Territory.

Wasninatox, D. C., Feb. 6.—Lhe ndvo- cates of the polley of silence within the Democratic ranks wero at ono time to-day In danger of having thelr poltcy set at defiance and the padiock drawn from the lips of somo ofthe more passlonate of thelr party fol- lowers, Ifthere had been any doubt that such # policy had been greed upon before. by the Democratic party managers, the action - of those managers inthe Houso this nfter- noon would remove such doubts. In whatis usually the dullest portion of the week's pro- ecedings, the consideration of bills on the private calendar, there was a very splrited debate. This arése on a bill accom panted by a petition to remove the political disabilities of John Owens, of Portsmouth, Va. ‘The petition, which was unusual, and was careful to avold any acknowledgment of wrong, was In these words: It ig respectfully represented that on the 7th’ day of March, 1812, Tentered the United States army 28 wurrunt-ollleer and yuuner, and re-. siguved on tho 10th day of April, fol, to enter tho Confederate service, I now respectfully asic that iny political disabilities be removed by your honorable body. Mit, CONGER at once objected to the bill because the peti- tlon altuded to the Confederacy, He be Heved it was known as the “War of the Re- bellion.” It was an insurrection and a war between States, {Conger’s JIrrative style svon fired the blood of Guode, who sprang to his feet to reply, “If? suid he, “the gen- tleman from Michigun will pay attention to the langunge of the petition he will see that, while it contains but four Ines, the word ‘respectful? oceurs in It three thes, It would be Impossible for any eltizen to make amore respectful npplication to this House than {fs contained in that petition,’ Ar, Conger retorted that he thought the word might be there often enourh. It wag not respectful to call the Rebellion “a war between the States.” To this rebuke Mr. Goode retorted: “I submit to the gentleman that there Is nothing in the Fourteenth Amendment that. requires any petition, The Fourteenth Amendment: of the Constitution of the United States dls- qualities certain elasses, and proyldes that, they uiny be relleved of thelr disabilities by a two-thirds vote of each Mouse, 1 submit further to the geutlenmn that, while it has heen the practice of Congress to require each person rng TIE REMOVAL OF 1f3 DISABILITIES to make un application in respectful terms, heretofore no form of petition has ever been. presented; and 1] undertake to say that the .
