On the other hand, the Crocks and Cherokees uvld ton diferent construction. They assert that the treaty pru- yided for only two rondse—One north and south and another cast and west; that under this troaty tho Missourl, Kansus & Texns Ttoud, rui niog north and south, and the Atlantiod Mae! running onst und west, extmust tho privi- Jeges prauted by tho treaty, aud that no othor roads can be constructed under it ‘The Intians claiin that the Interior Depart- juent hus suatainod thom in thelr interpretation of the treuty, Some time nyo Mr. Gould di- rected Uhut x survey be made of the projected route from Vort Smith to Muskogee, but tho Andinns threntoned to kill the surveyors; and when both the Gould Interest and tho Indinns appealed to Seoretary Kirkwood, that genticman deelded In favor of the redinen, and tho survey- ing party was disbanded, The Indians, however, tay, through their councils, grant tho riglt of way; aud Mr, Gould now contidently rellos upon securing this voneession from the Indluns thet selves, Lotters setting out the advantages auch routg would provo to the country it penetrates have been addressed to all tho leading Indigns tn both the Creok ana Chero- kee Nations, ns jell ng to oyery member of. tho councils, and when these bodice: yeENG NEXt tnonth ft is expeeted by tho rallway company that favorable ution will be taken, Jn this ovonta survey will be Imuediately made, and ino vory fow montus Mr, Gould will baye a roud running from the tnui ling of the Missourl, Knnsue & Texas to Fort Smits, At the latter point, tho plan is to run x road down the = Arknusas = Valley, and | thus sayy the {fe out oof the = St. Lous &8in Francisco Railway, which is butting toward Fort Smith fron Paycttavitle, Ark.
