THE MURDER AND RIOT IN rAHLEQuAH.

VEN1r1A, !. IT,, Dec. 3.-Informatlon has
been received here that the recent murder and
riot at Talequah was wanton and cruel NUT
der on the part ct two members OF the
Mounted Guard, detailed by Chief William r.
Ross. It seems that two O. the guards got
drunk and went down the street shooting
their pistols, and declaring that they wanted
to Kill a Downing man. The first one they
found was working in a stable. They killed
him, then joined their comrades and formed
in line in rear Of the post Office.
TIE Downing psrty formed fur her down
the street, and the parties comm need firing
at each other; more than = hundred shots
were fired: two men were severely wounded,
and several slightly. The murdarers We're pro-
tected in the Post Office, Sunday, tor several
hours, and no effort was made to have them
arrested. They finally escaped. The whole
affair grew out OF the intense and bitter feeling
between the two factions, known now as the
Ross and Downing parties.
Intense e1eiteuen: prevailed when our ill.,
| formant left, and serious difficulty was liable
to occur at any time.
| N ,jor Ingalls,, United States Indian Agent,
was called upon to investigate the matter.
| His recommendations were not approved BY
the Chief, and hc lei. Tahlequah.
There is much disappointment with the con-
| dition OF affairs in the Territory.

The New York Times says that all kinds Of
performances now take place on Sundays in
that city under the title OF ''sacred concerts,
including ella File lie Madame Angot," which
may not be very wicked, but which is GER
tainly not what the world generally under
stands by the word s.sacred.
We are at a loss to understand why people
who are fond OF musical or theatrical perform
ances and who have no conscientious scruples
against attending them on Sundays should be
prevented from doing SO because other people
consider it sinful. We have lived several
years in large Northern cities where Sunday
amusements were forbidden, and we noticed
that drunkenness was much more prevalent
on that day.
This kind of Pharisaism does not flourish
in New Orleans, although our population is
certainly not Obvious OF its religious duties,
and may safely lay claim to higher grade of
piety than that which belongs to the admiring
congregations who look up to Beecher as a
modern ST. Paul, and to Schuyler Colfax,
Gen. o. O. Howard jay Cooke and other
political frauds as model Christians.
Chancellor Cooper, of Tennessee, has de-
cded that the Tennessee creditors of the
Freedmen's Bank have right to attach the
property Of the bank in that State for the sat
isfaction of their claims. The bank has about
s27,OOO worth Of property in Tennessee.
Chancellor Cooper says in his decree: "The
citizens of this State, who have become cred
itors of the Freedmens Savings and Trust
Company, by dealings with its branch at
Nashville, are clearly entitled to come into the
courts Of the State for the purpose of having
their rights against the company declared,
and subjecting its property in this State to the
satisfaction of their debts. The government
in which property is situated will never ex-
tend its comfy SO far as to prejudice its own
citizens, no matter what may be the laws o.
its owners domici!e.
The law requiring drinking places in Lon
don to close at midnight is rigidly enforced.
At some Of the theaters the performances
have usually lasted until later. So fixed is
the habit there of quafing after the play that
confusion has been the result, part of the
audience leaving in the middle of the last &C:
rather than miss their drink. The managers
are abridging their pieces to meet the require
ments of popular taste.
Peter Cooper, of New York, says: :" Since
have lived in the upper part OF the city
have had the offer Of eighteen acres of land,
bounded by the Fifth Avenue, Twenty-First
street and the Eighth Avenue, for S11 200,
land that would have sold two years ago fol
some S15,O0O,00O."
