they had no returns from the Supervisor be-

The Conservatives urged the Board and
State authorities to take some action 10

refused. The Conservatives to-day offered
the duplicate of the returns which were
filed with the clerk of the court, the ballot

ST. LOUIS, Dec. l0.-The United States
Peace Commissioners arrived here at A.
NJ. on a special train. They are having a
talk with full delegation from the Cher
okees, ChOctaws, Creeks, Chickasaws and
Seminole Indians. c. b. Fisk and Super
intendent EnOch Hoag are prominent in
the proceedings. Besides the regular del
egates, there were several hundred Indians
present. The words of wisdom that were
dropped from the lips Of Fisk, HOag and
Others were translated in both Cherokee
and Greek. The replies of Chief Ross,
Mai. FOctor, Pleasant Porter, and James
Thompson, of the Nation, were in En-
glish. Those Of Chief Samuel ChecOte, Of
the Creeks, and Col. John Jumper, Chief
of the Seminoles. were trar slated to the
Commissioners.
The leading idea of the Commissioners
seems to be in favor Of some kind of ter
ritOrial form Of government, and also the
establishment of United States Courts
among the tribes and generally the ideas Of
Secretary DelAno endorsed by the President
and Secretary Of the Interior as per late
report. These ideas did not seem to meet
the approval of the Indians present. A
committee Of Indian delegates, two from
each nation, are preparing report. The
meeting adjourned till A. NJ. tomorrow,
when it is hoped the recommendations OF
the Commissioners may be adopted, some
what modified perhaps.

DELUSIONS.


Awriter In the JonesbOro Herald and
Tribune claims to have information
from a reliable source to the effect that
there is to-day capital to the amount
of 100000 in England, which is
looking in the direction of the iron and
coal fields of Tennessee.
Such statements, like the tale of an
idiot thrice told, are growing stale, fat
and improbable. They have been
sounded in the public ear for quarter
of century, and have done more harm
than good by educating our people to
believe that, at some day not very re-
mote and without the slightest effort
on their part, all the accumulated
wealth and enterprise of Europe viii
pour into East Tennessee, and so
they are content TO plod along
from year to year, waiting
and watching for Hercules, instead
of putting their own sho Ilders TO
the wheel. We don't doubt that our
contemporary, at JODesboro, heard Just
what he states, nor that English capi-
talists occasionally turn their eyes IN
this direction, or visit our mountains
and valleys to spy out the resources,
with view, perhaps, to ultimate In
vestment But it is Of the extrava-
gance of such stories, and their con-
slant reiteration, that we complain.
They are delusive, as much SO as the
promise the Radicals made few years
age to the poor negro about forty
acres and a MULE and, in nine cases
out of ten, not any more likely to be
realized. Let us cultivate more self
dependence, more home industry. in
stead of "hunkering down" and wait.
ing for somebody to ''immigrate" and
make us all rich by paying fabulous
prices for our ''undeveloped resources"
and Surface indications"

attempted premature arrest of the parties

A Chicago SeandaI-COI. Frederick
Dent Grant said 10 Have Challenged
Potter Palmer 10 Mortal Combat
Chicago (Dec. s. Correspondence Of the New
York Sun.
The particulars of row in high life have
Just been made known here, although every
effort is being made to keep it quiet. The
gossippers are talking, however, and the
story is no longer one PERSONS secret.
Hence l have no hesitation in sending you
the particulars so far as | am able TO learn
them. For some time past the HonOres,
father and mother, have been boarding at
the Palmer House without making weekly
settlements Of their bills, as is the custom
among other people. Then came the Col.
Fred. Grant Ida HOnore wedding, over
which considerable splurge was made.
However, that affair would never have been
consummated but for the kindly assistance
OfPotter Palmer, the proprietor ofthe hotel,
and Miss Ida's brother -in-law, and who at
almost the last hour gave orders to hesita-
ting milliners, florists, and other fashion
able furnishers, that he would be person
ally responsible for all bills incurred by
the elder Honores.
1t was thus that the wedding, of which
SO much was said, occurred at the private
residence of Mir. Palmer on the boulevard.
After that event had become matter of
secondary importance TO the nation, Mr..
Potter gave notice to his impecuniOus
father-in-law that he would no longer be
responsible for his debts, at the same time
forcibly intimating that it would be agree
able 70 the proprietor of the Palmer House
if Mr.. HOnore would pay up his back
board bills. This HonOIe pere refused to
do, choosing rather to move his trunks and
go to the rival establishment, the Grand
Pacific.
A few days ago Col. Fred. Grant arrived
in the city, and to PotteT's establishment,
Fred and wife went to the Pacific Hotel
instead of to the Palmer House. This SO
enraged Potter Palmer that he acted fool
ishly, among other things accusing his es-
Unable wife of taking his money to pay
her parents board bill at the Pacific. This
she denied; but the indignant husband
stormed, and forbade that his wife should
ever again have anything to do with the
Honores. She refused to obey his orders,
and attempted to leave the house, when
Potter Palmer forced her into bedroom,
locked the door, and kept her a prisoner
from 5 O'Clock yesterday afternoon until
this afternoon. He only then released her
upon promise that she would conform to
his wishes in every respect. Meanwhile
the lady had communicated with her rela-
tives. and Col. Fred. Grant took 1t upon
himself to defend the wounded honor Of
the family. He called on Potter, and when
that gentleman told the distinguished mill
tary man that il was none of his damned
business, Freddy broke into fearful rage,
and at once challenged the hotel prOph eior
TO mortal combat. This is the story told
tonight, and the town is excited with the
sensation.

THE PRESIDENT As A WATER
EYMPH
Cincinnati Commercial.

CnclnnaIi COMMERCIAL.
The presidential mind is still troubled,
we are sorry 10 see, about the great rivers
of South America. He has the Amazon
and the Oronoco on the brain, after man
ner of speaking. We should think the ma
jestic streams of North America might be
sufficient in the long run, to irrigate if not
to fertilize bis thoughts. His comprehen-
siveness is so copions, however, that the
Mississippi, missouri and Ohio are not
enough andheembracest the riparian systems
of .wo vast continents. The thought Of
utilizing the navy by dispatching it to ex-
plore the Amazon, is, however, as beautiful
as it is original. Robson should be sent
