Colonel Codv is anxious that there should

novelninent of the connection of the
Indians \\ith oshlbltlons such ns the

fact that 4M Indians who have

tivelj and elllciently engaged on behalf of tlio
Kovernmont nnd ngmnst hostiios duiiiiKtbo

Amos .1 Cummings of Xoiv Yoik , assisted

that Indians should bo pnimlttcd to engage
in such lOKithnnto eyliibittons , outside of tlio

It was defeated upon n point of older bv Con-
