BALTIMORE, Oct. 1916 D. IN.
The details of the European news by the Niagara
will doubtless reach here tomorrow evening". The
outline which we have had by telegraph indicates
that they will possess more than ordinary interest
II would appear that momentous crisis is APP
preaching, in which all Europe may be made to
participate. The frmness OF the Sultan cannot
but meet approval from every nation where the
feelings of humanity are respected; and the inter
ference Of France and England in behalf not only
of Turkey, bat of the Hungarian patriots, cannot
fail TO secure admiration.
An affair of honor has been on the tapis here for
some days past One of the parties is young
midshipman, the other lawyer. lady, of course,
is in the question. The lawyer, il appears,
sauted the navy officer, as is alleged unfairly; the
latter sent challenge, which was not accepted for
reasons assigned by the challenged. The chal-
lenger sought satisfaction in posting his antago-
mist. Cards, with the words ''scoundrel,'' "cow-
ard" &c, displayed at various public places
this morning, attracting crowds. Rumor is rife
that fight will yet come of. little powder
would probably do no harm. 1t is expected that
this affair will produce great excitement in Eu-
rope; probably cause some of the royal powers to
proffer their interference. The commercial world
may also be affected by it. Putty will certainly
rise, and pistols and coffee be in great demand.

THE CHEROKEE LANDS, &c.

In the course of Mr.. Conner's remarks in the Sem
ate, Friday last, upon the bill to establish Turn
pike Road from Salisbury to the Georgia line, and
setting apart the proceeds Of the sales of Cherokee
Lands for that purpose, he alluded with much justice
and force as we think, to the hard treatment which
the people of the extreme Southwestern Counties
(Macon, Haywood, Cherokee, &c.) have received,
from time to time at the hands of State Legsla-
ture. In 1886, as Mr. Conner stated our State re-
cefved on deposite from the General Government
something Ikea million and half of dollars in cash
and shortly after that, with abundance of money
on hand, with high prices and inflated currency,
these Lands were put into market-capitalsts were
invited to come forward and bid for them-and the
men of the West, with limited resources, and indeed
with nothing beyond what they might produce by
the labor of their hands, thus compelled to
purchase, at rates which have been extremely bur-
densome upon them from that day to this. This he
considered peculiar hardship towards most meri-
torious class of our peoPle-the honest pioneers OF
Western Carolina. .. .....
We agree with Mr.. Conner that these Western
people have not been treated, by former Legisla-
lures, with as much kindness and iberallty as
they deserved and we hope for the future contra
ry course may be adopted. Deal literally by this
people, and you not only present inducements which
will prevent them from emigrating to other regions,
but you invite emgrans from other States into their
midst and thus develope the resources OF our own
State. a..f

sttucted and beautiful Sword, intended as present
from the non-commissioned officers and soldiers OF

The scabbard is of silver, and the hit and scabbard
are both mounted with large gold and topaz sets.
On the scabbard is the following engraving: Pre-
sented to Maj M. S. Stokes, of the North Carolina
Volunteers, by the non-commissioned officers and
soldiers under his command in Mexico and on
the blade is this brief but touching and eloquent in
scription: IS Mai M. s. Stokes-rHE SOLDIERS

Our State Legislature is at length fairly at work
and number of important bills at various stages are
under consideration. In the course of the next two
weeks more will probably be done, than has been
since the commencement of the session. An ad.
journment sine dee will hardly take place before the
first of February, though number of members think
that bodywih bring It's abors to close by the s5h
instant.
No general system Of Finance has as vet been per
fected and presented but is certain that the State
will either have to borrow or increase the taxes in
order to meet the public liabilities for the ensuing
two years. p4s,ssa 49, ~ ,;

The Resolutions the Slavery question, reported
Iby Mr.. Dobbin, on Thursday last, from the Select
Committee, will doubtless up soon, and, be
adopted. They ought to pass unanimously. They
embody the true doctrine; and while they are sufi-
ciently respectful to our Northern BRETHREN their tone
is at the same time as firm and as decided as any
Southern man could desire. We learn that all the
Committee. with the exception of Mr.. Rayner, gave
their sanction to these Resolutions and that he OBJ

However, to be for strong expression Of opinion
on this question; and in our humble Judgment, the

and Southern rights. Now is the time to speak out.
Now is the time for the Southern people to plant
themselves all their Constitutional rights and if
they cannot expect magnanimity or generosity the
part of those who control public feeling and public
opinion in the nonslaveholdng States, let them at
least, at all hazards demand and insist upon stern
and naked Justice. 10
