Revenue 0ficials and tho Indisns

The Washington dispatches of,hc 5th
OF the St. Louis RcpuMiean, has the fol
lowing in regard TO the seizure of the To
bacco Factories in the Indian Country
The statement that Commissioner De.
lanc has ordered the seizure orthc tobac.
co factories In the Indian Territory is
without foundation. He has directed tha,
the revenue officers shall bond the goods
manufactured, and if they are taken from
the factory they must pay the regular
tax. The treaty with the Cherokee and
Greeks does not provide that they shall
avail themselves of neutral territory to
carry on the arts of civilization, whiskey
distilleries and tobacco manuiactories ;
and If goods manufactured in TINT terri.
tory are shipped beyond its limit, they
must be subject to the revenue laws.
1t seems from this, that john ("mai
jsts") Mcdonald. Supervisor Of Internal
Revenue, not only lied and placed Mr.
DrLAxo in false position, but wilfully
perjurcd himself before the Commission
or. This Mcdonald has not only sub
jected the parties manufacturing in til,
Nation to great loss, but has also involv,
ed innocent men iu the transaction ant
made them liable for damages.

EF The coolest thing, for the holi
days, that came across us, was apolite in
vitation through Major SrARKs, Of the
Fort Smith Herdid, to a "poor-man' S
supper" in that city. The joke will be
probably, better appreciated, when it is
known that :" a poor.nan's supper is
the uniform feast we are invited to, seven
times in the week. However, We are
none the less grateful and acknowledge
the compliment of our lady friend. She
undoubtedly, judging from the fat and
slick condition of the members of the
press in her own city, thought "poor.

The action Of the New York Legisla

fifteenth amendment is variously dis
coursed here. Most of the Republican
members declare that the repeal is void
and of no effect, while others say that il
is entirely legal, in view Of the fact that
the amendment has not been ratified by
three fourths of the Legislatures of al
the States. The question thus raised
was discussed by the House Judiciary
Committee at the last session, and it is
understood that it is to be presented il
each branch next week, 50 that both Ju-
