Congress has just passed an act, which provides that if any person shall sell or give liquor to any Indian under the charge of any Superintendant or agent, or introduce any into the Indian territory unless by order of the War Department, he shall, on conviction, be imprisoned not more than two years, and fined not more than $300. And any officer or Indian may seize and destroy any liquor or wine found in the Indian country, unless introduced there by the War Department.
