The na- tive tribes are ‘‘ Indians of the coast and Indians of the interior,” in all numbering about 5,080, most of them vigorous and healthy, though un- clean in their habits. The great resource of Northern Alaska is its furs, and Capt. Raymond thinks the energy and enterprise of American traders will increase the business there largely. Tux ANNexaTion oF British Corvwnta— Senator Corbett introduced in the Senate this morning a preamble setting forth the desire of the people of British Columbia to be annexed to the United States of America,as appears by their petition te the Queen, and that as questions of difference exist between the Gover- nment of .Great Britain and the United States, as to the boundary line between their respective territories; that as the United States claim that they have suffered great loss by reason of vessels being fitted out in British waters to cruise against and destroy American commerce, and that as itis difficult to calculate and settle in money the damage done to said commerce and the Goy- ernment of the United States by the prolonga- tion of war tothe great injury and suffering of our people, and as it is our desire to establish the most friendly relations with Great Britain ‘upon a firm and enduring basis: Therefore be it Resolved, That the Secretary ot State inquire into the e: iency of Bia tia hy BORE wt et ment of all matters of ditference between the transfer of two Governments an article for the British Columbia to the United States. “Zeta,” of the Sun, says: ‘ Representative Finkelburg, of Missouri, is preparing a bill, which he will shortly introduce, for the removal of the capital to the Mississippi Valley. He Sin teflon Gaus sie roar os * ve 3 comstaston.” = _* A FEELING TRIBUTE TO A GALLANT OFFI- cER.—Gen’l Sherman has issued an order an- nouncing the death of Gen’l Jos. A. Mower, in which he gives fome facts as to the military record of the deceased, and adds: “A better soldier or a braver man never hved than Joseph A. Mower, and the General can re- call many instances when he displayed abilities of the st order, entitling him to the full fame of a General. Since the war he has exhibited his soldierly qualities by standing at his it throug! \ pensions sickness, never ne a personal favor, and always shar- ing cheerful! yt e exposures of his men. The General, in thus of one to whom he was so strongly at , feels certain that and more too, is due to one who never wrote or Cree of himself, and seemed oblivious to all cept to serve his count with his whole heart and his whole soul.” . EQUAL RIGHTS IN THE PUBLIC ScHoors.— ‘Mr. Sumner introduced in the Senate this morn- ing a bill to secure equal rights in the public schools of Washington and Georgetown, which provides that the Board of Trustees of ,Colore: Schools of those cities, as created by the act of July lith, 1862, be abolished, and ties confe: ms 2 : !

Mr. Sherman asked the Disiriet Committee to consider this petition favorably.

Mr. Sumner introduced a bill to secure equal rights in the Public Schools of Washington and Gcorgetown. r. Mr., Hi the Comm: what subordinate officers of the Senate have been dropped since the last session, and whether with the concurence of the Vice President or the Committee.

Mr. Sumuer advocated delay in the matter, and instanced Georgia and Tennessee as_warn- ings. Hesaid the loyal people of Virginia haa not been heard from. Mr, Stewart said Congress was breaking faith in this matter every day that it kept Vir- out. Nothing was to be gai by and hey would lose the 15th amendment. They had no right to keep Virginia out just because she had not elected the Radical ticket. Mr. Howard thought if it was true that two thirds of the Legislature could not take the tos: oath, It was a very good reason why they shouls fe. hesitate. Mr. Edmunds said the test oath had nothing to do with it, but all they had to inquire was whether Virginia had complied with the con- ditions, and whether any of the members of the Legislature were debarred from holding their seats by reason of the fourteenth amendment. If not, then he thought she should be admitted. although he was afraid she would turn the same kind of a somersault that Georgia did. Mr. Pomeroy held that the adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment by Virginia amounted to nothing, as her Legislatire was not legally or- gani Mr. Howard referred to the opinion of the Attorney General that the test oath was not re- quired, as striking at the whole theory of the reconstruction acts.
