The 5000 negroes In the Indian Territory,
who were formerly slaves Of tho Choctaws, have
at last grown indignant because thoir OK
maaters still refuse to grant them equal rights,
and are going to appeal to Congress to doctdo
whether they are citizens Of tho United statea
or citizens Of the Choctaw Nation. or whether q
negro has any rights which Ohoctaw Indian ia
bound 10 respect. As each ono Of these negroos
produces moro than twenty Choctaws csn, and
each nogro, therefore, il twonty times al good
as Choctaw, this ratio ought at least to cntitlo
them to equal rights.

ia ths Editor of 7h< Chicago Tribune:
Ny attention has been cated to editorial in the
DAILY TRIBUNE Of the 22d Of September aa Oh fol-
lows:
When Mr. FArnsworth distributed bis bacs-pay
formed him that be had made mistake. II tile money
IN Unltel 81 sstas ,oysrnnsat, aud II. Fsruasorth had
Mr. % Farasworth Il ontited to the credit Of havine
voted against the saiarygrab, and IT having honestly
the ,nopsy aitor tho iii passed, III which he was
misiod, very likely, bs the cxampo Of ar. Hoar, OF
a1ass4chussts, who gavs hIs back-pay to district
school.
Now, while am exceedingly obliged for tho Kind
evincod BY tho writcr Of the above in the excuse
mnde for mo that "Was mislol by the example Of
mr. Hoar permit me to say that cannot appropriate
It. Was not misiaa by anybody; followed nobods'a
example; but distributed tho money III the manner
did after rcaecon and for tho reasons set forth in
my letter at the timo VIZ Firs bccauso in no other
way could tho taxpayers whom represented 10 In

ond, because, If "roturued" tho money to tho Mt
tona Treasury 1t would simply romaiu thore, like
Deposit to my credit and could 10 Withdrawn ut aug

Since wrote that letter tho Treasury Department
has ade public It's construction Of tho Law aud its
decision Of the question, aud 1t is this That membe}a
Of Congress who return their "back-pay" to the
Treasury make themselves the voluntary creditors Of
the dovcrninont. The money ia not "covered !"
into the Treasury, md con be claimed BY
such members, their legal representatives, at any
time, and must he refunded upon such claim as upon
III account stated. It requires new appropriation,
-the money does not "hpse."-bus 1t is still the
| property Of him who thua "returued" or deposited
it; and when bauks arc auspendlng, and tines nro
hard, aud money scarce, ha may quietly sncak UP to
the back door Of the Treasury and withdraw It, How,
then, the taxpayers to receive any benefit from
such "rcturniug" Of the "buck-pay" to tic Treua-
| ury7 ]. F. FAnNswoATH.
| REMARKa.-Wo believe that Gen. spinner's
letter on tho legal effect Of returning bach-pay
to tho lroaaury is not regarded good law by
either the Attorney General or tho Secretary Of
the Treasury. At all events, II cannos be con-
! sidorod decision Of the Department, and ne
venture to say that my member Of Congress
who has actually refunded his back-pay would
encounter very great obstacles In attempting to
get hold ot It again. Tie Treasury has never
been mado baAk Of deposit.

There IRE good grounds for Following that tho
effort will be made, In certain districts OF tho
city, to poll largo number Of illegal votes for
the Hesing- O 'Hara ticket. Il there were no
more tangible reason for apprehending this than
the fact that a|l the classes among whom this
practice could BE- developed arc ranged on
tho Hcslng-0'uarn side, this would be
enough to warrant tho apprehension, and to de-
mand the most searching scrutiny and tho
utmost vigilance to preventit. It ia impossible
to-day to find single gambler, whisky-sellor,
rough, yagraat, pimp, or outcaat from society,
wno docs not act with tho Healng party. In
most political divisions portion Of thoao classes
is to bo found on both sides. The present CAM
paiga is peculiar in having united tho vicious
and dcpraved under one banner, all working
for comn1on pin. Those are the men
who organize illegal voting in all
largo cities, and soAdor IT possible by
tho terrorism they exercise at the polls. Aside
from this, the present election Affords tho Hos~

ANOTHER B0ND FRAUD EXPOSED,

The Supreme Court of this State, by All unani-
nous decision, has blottcd out part OF the in
famous rairoad MD debt into which SO many
towna and counties Of this State have boon
eoducod. As long ago as 1867, a bill vas intro
duced into the Legislature OF 1llinois authoriz-
ing certain towns to subscribe to tho capital
stock Of tho ottawa, Oswego & Fox Riyer Ilail-
way Company, the said subscription to DO ap-
proved by the votes Of tie several towns, &o.
The authors Of this bill did not wait until 1t
could paea through the forma Of legislation, but
hurried it into m enrolled act without its being
passed at oil. Nevertheless, nothing was dono
for some time, aud 1t was not until 1870
that the road was built. In tile meantime,
tho promoters Of the job had obtained largo
subscriptions from the eoveral towns Of La
Sale County, Kendall County, and from the
towns Of Aurora and st. Charles in Kane County.
Having obtninod all they could bog Or otherwiao
obtain from the credulous people along the route,
the officers OF the road leased 1t permanently to
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad.
Then thore WIS general discomfort, followed by
bonds, aud at last camo IN appeal to tho Courts
for protection. Tho Circuit Court of LaSalle
County eniolnoa the levy Of taxes to pay in
terost on the bonds, pnd the Supreme Court
| Of the State, on appeal, llaa affirmed
tho decision. Tie ground la that tho
law under which the isaue Of these bonds wus
made was noyer enacted by the Legislature ut
all, and, therefore, never was Inv. It passed
the House Of Representatives, but neyer passed
| the Senate. The opinion OF tue Supreme Court,
tfon, gjyes all the tacta. Tho bonds are not
only yoilable, bpt absolutely void. They never
had any legality. This decision will DO ro1iof
| to the unfortunate towns who ,wero aeduccd by
fraud into voting the bonds. and we're then
robEel Of their stock BY the lease Of tho road to
tho Chicago. burlington L Quincy Railroad. II
will be special relief to to little County OF KEN
dali whose towns arc oyer~he'Wed with this
trepdulent debs.
What ~lp especially wisl to call the attention
Of the people Of thls ~ pity eud oounty to is the
fact that tho object Of raiaug tho rocont asaoHs-
