The Indians had no claim, and the consequence
would be, perfect title to more than ten 'hous-
and acres of land, would be vested in Wm. b.
Lewis & Curvin. A supplemental treaty was
negotiated with the Chickasaw tribe, on the lst
of September, 18S0-the 5th article OF which re-
coynzed the validity Of the lease atore -mentIon-
ed to evils s. Curpin. on the 18th OF October
1918: aud another lease was executed by the pre-
tended trustees 10 Lewis & Co. which states un-
der a {" Waereds," that they had expended more
than three thousand dollars in digging for salt, IN
consideration Of which, and Two thousand dollars
and four bushels OF salt. and the like quantity OF
four bushels to be paid annually. pretend
ed trusteesvest said land in Lewis Curvin, tor
the term mentioned in the first lease. Aud to
this last lease, the consent Of the commissioners
was given by the 4th article referred to- lhls
tract of land is said to be highly valuable, among
the latest and bes, in all that fair region OF coun-
try. Thus the matter was worked with admira'
bic skill to accomplish the object. The Indians
had sold for term Of years lands that belonged
TO the United States, by and with the consent OF
the President and the Secretary OF War The
lessesa had before obligated themselves I" pay
$50 dollars year, fur the same land they were
now enabled to purchase for two thousand dolls.
and four bushels Of salt-whether 1t was domestic
or alum salt Is not declared.
Let every one who has the leisure. and the Gu
rosity, sit down and calculate the annual rent OF
go dollars, per annum. with the interest tor one
hundred and ninety-nine years, and then see what
the 5000 dollars, the price of four bushels OF SALT
1.-THE salt to be paid annually with the interest on
these two sums for the like period will be. and
thereby ascertain how much Lewis &C urvin have
gained by the last negotiation. The difference
between the calculations is clear gain to the
concern.
Mr.. Everett well remarked that this ''was
driving bargain" 1t was worth a journey for
the President, Eaton. & Co. across the noun
,ains. if for no other purpose than to obiige a
friend The President found to his great asto-
nishment during the last Session, that the Senate
Was not the mere register OF his Will His trea-
ty with the Chickasaws must be withheld, or
the plan would not succeed. The Choc'aw trea-
ty was presented TO the Senate. and the Ch'cka-
saw treaty was put inlo the Presidents pocket,
or snugy locked up in the War Department
Now submit the subject to the lawyers in the
cities ard country. whether, if the like attempt
should be made TO defraud Individual that there
has been to defraud the u States. or the Indians,
take the case either way. the persons concerned
in the transaction would be likely to escape the

Two facts connected with TINS sudden anu de'
structive attack upon the inhabitants OF Gates
head deserve particular notice On the night
preceding, and on the night of Christmas day, an
unusual number OF people there drank largely OF
ardent spirits: manv Of them were seen reelins
in the streets. The wind. which had been pre-
viously from the South, veered to the North on
the night of the oath. and continued in the same
direction on The 25th December. Precauion
was taken TO prevent the inlOxicatiOn OF the peO-
pie on New Years eve and night, by closing the
public houses. The good effect of this was re-
narkable; in the report of Sunday, the lst of ia.
nuarv, there was only one death. The class OF
persons attacked IN Gateshead, as elsewhere, are
the dissipated. the filthy, the lifted the broken
in constitution. and those who have been exposed
to polluted atmosphere.
Sunderland There has not been death tor
several days, and the disease appears to be al
most extinct.
North Shieids.-There has been trifling in
crease of cases at this place. In all there nave
been Q deaths and recoverles.

Thursday and Friday:

Total cases from the commencement OF the dis.
ease, SIS Total deaths 10. We regret to learn
that the disease is spreading in the vicinity OF
Haddington. Two cases have occurred at Bean
atom Mill, three at Athelstaneford. and one at
Whttinghame. At the former place, one OF
the cases proved fatal, and one recovered. At
the other places, the four cases remained under
treatment on Friday.
Edinbwgh We regret to haze to state that
this awful scourge of the human race has actually
visited the metropolis Of Scotland. The Edin-
burgh papers scarcely alude to the fact. but the
existence of the disease there is confirmed by pri
vate letters received in Liverpool. and especially
By letter addressed to the Lord Provost by Mr..
Sanders, and which is published in the Caledo-
Man Mercury Of Saturday. The first case &C.
Cured on Thursday. in the house NO. 4, West
Adam street: the officers name is Leech, and
the medical men pronounced the case to be one of
decisive character, an unequivocai example OF
the spasmodic cholera.
BY the prompt measures taken, the patient was
in favorable way towards recovery; and Mr..
Sanders says there would have been no danger
had assistance been called during the first stage

tnre his death, however, he confessed the muir
der OF his family. A young child making some
disturbance in the night, his wife gos up to take
care OF it. He told her to co,ne To ,.,ed. and up
or her saying she could not. jumped out of bed,

he reached the house met daughter whom he
also killed He then went into the house and
murdered three other children in their BEDS
Having murdered his own family, and his thirst
for blood still dissatisfied, he started of. and call
