FEDERAL CoURr JURISDICTION The United States Circuit Court, for the District of Arkansas, at its late term, in this city decided that its urisdc ton did not extend over the Indian country adia- cent 10 this State. Our readers will remember the decision, as set forth in Judge DANIELS opinion, which we published at the time. Whether correct not ifs not our purpose to inquiries but this de- eision, in it's results, was greatly to be lamened setting leose at t time, several fragrant criminals and greatly lessening in future, the security of life and property, upon our frontier. In view of this state of things, the United States District Attor hey lost time in forwarding proper representa- lion of the matter, to representatives in Con gress, in order that if the existing laws the sub ject. really be defective as decided by the court their defects might be cured, forthwith, by new enactment. And byreierenee to the proceedings of the United States Senate we find that the matter has been brought before that body; and we have no doubt will be properly adjusted.

 IN SENATE, April 29h. On motion of Mr. SEVER, ''the judiciary committee were instructed 10 inquire into the expediency of extending the criminal jurisdiction of the United States district and circuit courts for the district of Arkansas, over the Indian coun- try adjacent to the State of Arkansas.'1
