TAHLEqUAH, c. N, Dec. 7th. 1913.

Messrs. Ediiors:--I have Just received your
paper of the End inst, and am sorry 10 say that
your correspondent from this place, under date OF
tho 25th ullimo, has furnished you with Indian
news" very far from the truth. There has been
no law enacted " expeing the missionaries from
the Nation," nor has ever there boon n motion to
tina: effect. The Cherokees desire nothing Of the
kind, but prefer that Missiona ries should live and
labor among them. | would not notice this ''blt
of news" were it not calculated 10 create abroad
an impression highly detrimental 10 the character
OF our Nation. The connection, by insinuaiion,
Of the name of our highly respectable. useful and
influential native Ministers with this affair, is most
too serious for plea santry.-Although the thing
| is improbable that it would correct ITSELF The
same Reverend gentleman is referred to in con-
necton with the law legulizing internarriage with
White Men. feel confident that he never used
his name or influence to have a law passed. which
would prohibit all such intermarriagcs. 1t is truo,
however, that he may have thought. as did nine
Tennis of our people that the law passed in 1889
| required some amendments, whereby we hight be
saved from the proniscuous crowd which was
| flowing in upon us. The law as it now exists
| requires all white men, who desire to marry a
| Cherokee woman, to obtain the consent Of the
| National Council, and take an oath to support tho
Constitution and abide by The laws Of the Chero-
kee Nation. The agent, understand, will in COM
p!iance with the request OF the National Council,
grant no more permits for citizens of the United
States to reside in the Nation. In future the Ma
,ional Treasurer will issue permits, and the per-
sons obtaining them will be required to hold them
selves amenuAe to its laws while they reside in the
country.

stated in my last, that would notice the nd-
viduals who have been nominated to I'll the most
important offices within the gift Of the people of
this State; the means used by them to secure their
nominations. will content myself u, this time
by giving a cursory notice of tho nominee for tho
Chief Executive Of the State.
Permit me then, to premise. that do not believe
that the Democratic party is called upon, nor do
believe they wW yield their support TO Elias N.
Conway for Governor. But on tho contrary, |
am impressed with the most solemn conviction,
that every true Democrat, who views his princi-
plies as paramount to all personal considerations,
is appealed 20 by The wounded and bleeding spirit
of outraged d. mocracy, to go forth boldly and
rearlessy to the rescue, and proclaim their prin.

fastened upon them by band Of heartless office

nclusions, are numerous, strong and inconiro.

THE ADJOURN MENT.

The Stale Legislature adjourned on Tues
day nigh.last about IL o'clock,aller session
OF one hundred AID six days. Although the
session had been a bosterous one, and the
most excited and angry discussions had
frequently sprung up, still the closing scene
on Tuesday night, was marked by degree
Of good feeling seldom Witnessed, at the
close of session. This was particularly
observed 10 the House Of Representatives:
The va,edic,ory Of Speaker Wright, was
mos. feeling and impressive, and a, its close
all seemed to forget that personal dispute
had ever occurred on the floor of the House
during any period Of the session, and the
members separated 10 return to their homes
and families witk as much good feeling 10
wards each other as we have seen maniies
ted on any occasion Of the kind. Although
efforts have been made to bring the late
Legislature into disrepute. still it may EN-
pha.ically be styled the Reform Legisla
ture.' A bin was passed reducing the sala
ries of the officnrs of Government about 25
per cent. which it is SAID will effect saw
ing 10 the State Of over two hundred thous
and dollars. This is measure well calcu
lated 10 be popular with the people. and we
apprehend that those representatives who
took an active part in the passage of the bill
will receive from their constituents on their
return 10 their homes the need Of praise.
Various other measures of reform were
passed, such as abolisling the Nicholson
Court. abolishng the Criminal Sessions OF
Philadelphia, providing for the election OF
Canal Commissioners by The people, and
finally for lhe sale of The pnblic works, or a
portion of tbem, which will meet the appro
baton of the people. A printing bill was
also passed, which reduced The expenses ol
the Legislature, in The single item of print
ing. mors than twenty thousand dollars, AL
4hese acts are well calculated TO strengthen
the late Legislature, ,or al least majority ol
it, with the people, and we take it that The
efforts of those who may attempt 10 bring i
into disrepule will recoi upon .hciI owr
heads, and cover them with shame and cor
fusion. Whilst The representative carries ou
the express will Of his constituents he ha;
nothing 10 fear, and il is only when he ap
pears recreaGt 10 their interests, that he has
cause TO hide himself from their indlgnan

FRlGHTFUL CASE OF STAR.
VA'rION.


The Roman Citizen, published al Rome
Oneida county, New York, gives most
heart-rendng account of the death, by
s!arva.ion,- of mother and her child, An
Irishman with his family some time since
took up his residence 10 Florence, in that
county, four or five miles from the village;
and mile from any neighbor. Last
summer the man was killed by the falling
Of a tree, leaving wife and three small
children. Left thus alone, the poor wo
man managed 10 sustain herself and little
ones comfortable, till winter with lis severi

her little shanty, and she was soon forgot

house nearly buried in the snow. With
much difficulty he succeeded in entering
