A special dispatch to the Globe Democrat says, ''John Taylor ad dressed the saints in the Taberna cle yesterday. He referred to his recent trip, and said he went to Arizona to "straighten things out a little." Some of the brethren were being persecuted there and sent to the American Siberia for liviriir their religion. He spoke of the Federal authorities here who are "persecuting the saints" as"sneaks and tramps." Fellows with papers from courts were intruding them selves into the houses of the saints to spv on them. There was a limit to this thing, when forbearance would cease to be a virtue, but he didn't want violence nor bloodslied just now and counseled the people to forbear a little longer, as there would soon be a change. "The saints live above the law of man, they obey the law of God," and he would never give it up no never; so help him God. The congrega tion shouted "amen." He denoun ced theJEdmunds law as infamous, Trnr coin in r nrl , nnorv n if ir hml I separated from 1HS V.'IVCS. JLI1C anti-polygamy law of 1SG2 had been declared constitutional at the expense of human liberty and the rights of American citizens. The violation of this provision of the Constitution by Congress, the Exe cutive and Supreme court had cau sed somCbf the saints to think of emigrating to another land for the preservation of religious liberty There might be another pilgrim fa thers' day. The green house of John Redding, who forsook polyg amy, was burned here this morning. Cause unknown, loss, $2,000. The Grand Jury for the February term of the Third District Court was im paneled to-day. It was purged of all tainted with polygamy or a be lief in it." John Taylor, President of the Church of Latter Day Saints, will live much longer than the Govern ment or the united btaies shall stand, if he expects to see Hie time in this country when the "saints" will live above, or regardless of the laws that hold us together as a na tion. We are glad to hear him re ported as not . wanting "violence or bloodshed" at this particular time, and that he has the discretion to say so that he couuscls his dupes to forbear, for a season, with sixty millions of people who more than a century ago repelled and forbade the interference of a priesthood in civil affairs, and who only conced ed to the beasts that perish polyg amous selection for tlie improve ment of the stock. ! TOiero Is Jtl Who Owns Ic ? Of TCiom Was It Obtained Its Area Its -Present Status, Etc. The following letter to the Globe Democrat will interest .most of our readers. The action of the U. S. Government in the recent forci ble ejectment of settlers ought to settle the question, however, that they have no claim to the "Beauti ful Lar.d," and to obtain the right to make homes for the "thousands of homeless families" there, the' must go to Congress through their representatives for it : The term "Oklahoma" is mythi cal and signifies "beautiful land.'5 These lands lie west of 97 degices and extend to 100 degrees west lon gitude, and between 34 and 37 de grees north latitude; and, accord ing to a late map published bv the Interior Department of the General Land Office, this tract comprises an area of about 40,000 square miles or 25,000,000 acres of land. These lands are embraced in what is known as the "Louisiana pur chase," bought by the United States of France in 1S03, and it embraced all the territory belonging to France which lav west of the Mississippi River. This cessionlby France ves ted the title to said Territory in the United States subject to the title of Indians then occupying the Terri tory. Thus, before the United States could vest clear title to said soil and guarantee the same, it be came necessary to extinquish the Indian title to' the land.. This was done accordingly, by treaty made with Indians at various times when the United States organized this vast domain into territories. Hence, the government has al ways recognized the Indian- title to these lands. Subsequent to the abolition of slavery, the U. S. made a treatv with the five civilized tribe? of Indians occupying the Indian Territory, and extinguished their title to the western portion of the territory; ostensibly, for the pur pose of settling freed men and other tribes of Indians thereon. The treatv under which said lands were obtained, was made with the Scminoles, March 21, 1S66; with the Creeks, Juno 14, 1S66; witth he Cherpkecs, July 19, 1866. and with the Choctaws and Chica saws, about the same time. This tract was taken charge of by the general Government, and was or dered to bo surveyed and laid off into townships six miles, square, winch was accordingly done. Srrosequent to this purchase from the Indians, the freedmcn, by act of Congress, were made citi zens of the United States; henc.e, they have no more right to occupy these lands than white citizens have. Since its acquisition, how ever, the united btates Govern ment has appropriated about 10, 000,000 acres of this land in the settlement of various small tribes Oi.j. .1 -it. . n States and other Territories), viz : the Sacs and Foxes were ceded 470,667 acres; the Potawatomies, 575,577 acres ; the Wichitas, 743, 610 acres, and by Executive order, the Comanches, Kiowas, Chycnnes, Arrapahoes, Kickapoos, Pawnees. Towas, Missouris, Ottoes, Ponas, Noz Perces, Kansas, and other tribes were given reservations. Since settling the aforesaid tribes on these lands, Congress has passed a law prohibiting the settlement of any more Indians in the Territory. There still remains about 15, 000.000 acres of these land unas signed. The Indians say these be long to the United States. Indian Commissioner Price de clares they are Government lands, and the United States Commis sioner regards them as such, and has put his stamp upon them as United States public lands in the late map published by the general land department. I hey are doubt less a part of the public domain bought of France in 1803, and pur chased of the five civilized tribes of Indians by treaty in 1863. As there arc no freed men to set tle on vhese lands, and as Congress has made a law prohibiting the settlement of any more Indians in that Territory, what is Congress going to do with these lands? Do they intend to keep them for the stock rings to herd their cattle up on, and. protect them by the Unit eel States army against the intru sion of settlers, and allow the thous ands of homeless families to go uncared for? The time has come when the people demand recognition, and Congressmen who do not heed the warning let them beware ! This so-called Oklahoma is in deed a "beautiful land." It com prises some or the richest, most fertile lands- in the United States. The general lay of the country is undulating: the land consists of prarie and timber lands ; the soil is a rich black loan, and produces an abundance of nutritious grasses. The timber consists of oak, black walnut, pecan, hackberiy. ash and cottonwood. - The country is watered by num erous sti earns tributaries of the Arkansas River. Along the principal streams there are heavy bodies of saw tim ber, and in the Wichita Mountains there is pine timber. These moun tains are situated in the southwest ern portion of the Territory. It is a beautiful range of mountains in terspersed with numerous rich val leys watered by mountain streams. It has a salubrious climate favor able to health. The mean altitude of the countiy is about 1,800 feet above the ocean. A. 13. Pabkell. Captain Morton, who was up here recently from Fort Apache, informed us that Indians living around the post arc very indus trious. They are, also, peaceably inclined. In traveling from Apache to ITolbrook, Capt. Morton saw many new settlements in Apache count, and judged that the county is being settled up very fast. Prescott Courier. John P.
