Indian OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of the
Interest on the Pubic Debt-PrO-

WASHINGTON, March %. = Lewis
Downing, principal chief of the Cherokee
nation, in memorial to Congress, calls
attention to the fact that since 1866 treas
!, ties have been made with various tribes
Of Indians with the view Of settling them
on the Cherokee domain, they were made
IA plain violation Of the Cherokee treaty
OF 1866. In this the Cherokees, so far
from having contracted with the said
Indian tribes in the sales of these lands
were not even consulted as to the price
at which the United States has under
taken to dispose of them. He begs
leave TO express the desire Of the Cher
okees TO carry out the provisions of the
treaties with the utmost good faith, and
that he, as their chief, win spare no pains
and lose no occasion to preserve and
strengthen the happy relations now ex-
listing between the Cherokees and the
United States, but he deems it his duty
to state most respectfully that he fears
lt will be beyond his power to restrain
the CherOkees from resisting all en-.
crOachments from other Indians.

BebeI ana Loyalty-whnt 80 They
Mean?

To the Editors OF the Union and American.
Rebel and Loyalty are words of such
frequent occurrence among large class Of
our citizens at the present time, that il
might appear singular If any enc Was to
ask their meaning since 1861. We hear of
Loyal Leagues, Loyal Jurors, Loyal
Judges, Loyal Governors, Loyal Leeisla.
lures, etc. etc. .ta4 fsr
And then again we hear every man
daubed with the nams of Rebel who per.
chance may happen to differ with any of
the above named Royalties either financially
or politically. While the war was going
on JEFF. Davis was called a Rebel because
he said State or a number of States, had
right TO secede peaceably If they chose;
and by undertaking to prove his faith by
his works, Loyalty stepped in and trampIed
secession under feet, declaring al the same
time that a State once in the Union, was
there under all circumstances, and TO make
her words appear binding, as soon as the war
was over she prosecuted JEFF. Davis and a
good many more for treason. Affairs
didn't progress very far before Loyalty
declared eleven of the States of the United |
States out of the Union, and by force Of |
arms, held them as conquered provinces. |
This .espou al of the secession doctrine |
caused Loyalty to Lore goodly number of |
the more thinking class finer party, whom |
she stigmatized as being worse than Rebels. |
Feeling the effect of the above loss, she at |
once saw that ignorance in the masses
under such Radical changes, was her only |
hope for strength in the future. And be-
lieVing the negroes to be the very thing,
she lost no time in declaring them both |
socially AMI politically equal with the |
white man in the Southern States (now |
proYinces) and commenced |
calling conventions, composed of the new /
tangled loyal secessionists and negroes, for |
the purpose of framing loyal constitutions
for those States, preparatory to their sd-
mission into the Union again. This hsv-
ing been completed in most of the South
ern States and the wheels partially set in
motion, the more intelligent part of the
black population began to find out that |
their best friends Of the white race belong
ed to the Conservative (now called Rebel
party, and Loyalty having taken every |
step from the beginning, 10 |
keep their minds alienated from their true
friends, and seeing her ultimate failure, 80
soon as their minds were suffered to be-
come disabused, have as a last resort, set
The civil laws of divers couHties aside
for an indefinite period of time in
he States of Arkansas and Tennes-
zee, and declared martial law over the
'amP, which is in effect nothing more
nor less than a declaration of war in
hose counties, What the final result will
be God only knows But l started out 10

and Loyal at the present time. l..

A RECENT writer says it is surprising
how infectious tears are at wedding.
| First of all, the bride cries because she is
going to be married and then, OF course,
the bridesmaids cry, perhaps becau Sc
they are not and the fond mamma cries
because she II lose her -d-darling and
then the fond papa cries because he thinks
it proper; and then all the ladies cry
because ladies, as a rule, will never miss
chance of crying; and then, perhaps
the groomsmen cry to keep the ladies
company, and all this band Of NiObeG
seem rather to enjoy this Niagara of eye
water. All, except the bridegroom, We
have never seen him cry. No, nor ever
whisper.

KID GLOVES.

The trade in Alexandre's kid
gloves has opened briskly. These
gloves are still made with two, three,
four or six buttons, some of them
being all in one piece, others having
the wrist attached by a welt of some
contrasting color. Children's gloves
are made up not only in kid, but
very durable ones of dog-skin and
double-stitched.
A novelty in the decoration of
gloves is the embroidery in place
of the welt. This is in some COM
trasting color, and is in scollops
and chains, and the upper part of
the wrist is usually pinked. The
fashionable colors are the Etruscan

Cunning Of the For.

A certain jagare, who was one morn
Ing keeping watch In the forest, saw a
fox cautiously making his approach to-
wards the stump of an old tree. When
sufficiently near, he took q high and de-
termined jump OH to the top of 1t, and,
after looking round q while, hoped to
the ground again. After Reynard had
repeated this nightly exercise several
times, he went his way, but presently re-
turned to the spot bearing pretty large
and heavy piece of dry oak In his mouth,
and thus burdened, and rs it would seem
for the purpose Of testing his vaultlng
powers, he renewed his leaps on to the
stump. After time, however, and when
he found that, weighted rs he was, he
could make the ascent with facility, he
desistcd from further efforts, dropped the
piece of wood from his mouth, and coll
Ing himself upon the top Of the stump,
remained motionlcss rs II dead.
At the approach Of evening, an old
sow and her progeny, I've or six In num-
Der, issued from n ncighboring thicket,
and pursuing their usual track, passed
near to the stump In question. Two OF
her suckllngs followed somewhat behind
the rest, and, just rs they ncarcd his am
bush, Michel, with the rapi,lity of thought,
darted down from his perch upon one Of
them, and In the twinkllng of an eye,
bore IL In triumph on to the fastness he
had prepared beforehaed. Confounded
at the shrieks OF her offspring, the old
sow returned In fiiry to the spot, and
until late In the night, made repeated
desperate attempts to storm the murder
er's stronghold; but the fox took the
matter coolly, and devoured the pig
under the very nose OF It's mother Nat
uraiist in Norway.
