Mr. Forney, fresh from Washington, may be able jwexplain a great deal that needs explanation. Fous % prons. Without prejudicing the subject, it may be maid ¢ pat the Indians are very ugly. Their ugliness ‘ver ;where is not the result of a big talk or compact SNC pg themselves, but the natural consequence of some" Dor sys neglect. This is evident from the fact that every © we is affected, and every tribe and every Indian makes 1 pe same complaint—neglect. The Superintendent has een absent from the Territory upwards of six onthe. The Governor has represented him in ome way or other; but, as 1 learn, very re- etricted in the disbursement department. Accordingly, ‘when Indians have come from the North and Soato, and Bast and West also, they bave been anything bat satisfied ‘with a plug of tobacco and some mest and crackers. Tho Sovernor 1 should suppose, has gone as far as the super- fmtencant left memoranda, and insome cases has added some flannel shirts to the visiting Indians; but all this amounts to very little.
