We were much surprised one day
this week, whdn we were asked by
a friend it WE had testified before
the Congressional Committee that
we knew all about the disappear
ancc of Lloyd Shorter, and had Civ
Ell the particulars. lie told us that
he had heard so. Now, just what
we did say about Lloyd Shorter was
this: that he and his horse had
both disappeared about the time
when the Mctropolitans were here
and had not been seen since. That
we did not know anything at all
about the matter any more than
that and hat had We known that
he was killed and who killed him
VIC should have done our duty as
District Attorney, pro temporc and
had an investigation OF the case
There are gentlemen of this parish
who heard the whole Of our tcsti-
mony. and they will corroborate our
statement above.
Then comes another friend who
tells us that it was reported that
we had voted u split ticket at the
last election. This is again vile
SANDER, as Judge Daigrc and Capt.
James Jci1rics. who had seen us
vote the straight out White Mans
Party from top to bottom, and
opc"'y, will both prove.
Just before this we had the Dem
0crdt after us about what he had
said OF the destruction of the radi
cal newspaper Office here some
years ago, but we think we satisf-
ed him on that point.
Then again some one tells us that
our friends on Bayou Rapidcs are
dissatisfied with something we said
about Bayou Rapi'les. We are not
of having said anything
which ought to offend any one and
as we called nobody's name in
whatever ke may have said about
the possibility of any disturbances
there, qualified as was our state
me1t that we meant only the inter
r"pt,ion Of speakers and did not be-
iicvs that 1here would have been
any;of tllt, we are at Il loss to
n ad"w no" amy one has just cause Of
Aud then besides our friends at
home we have got the Cincinnati
Commercial, st. Louis Republican,
Shreveport Southeastern and other
radical papers alter us with their
and altogether, we are
having rather tough time Of it,
because we went before the Com
after being t,cice summoned
by them aud without any discretion
to stay away.
But all this is only incidental to
the purpose we had in writing this.
We have put at the head of this ar
ticle two french words which we
desire in this case to be interpreted
to mean, that if any more remarks,
or innendoes are in circula-
ton or contemplated circulation,
that the parties dissatisfied or inter
estcd in the circulation of reports,
remarks or innen1oes, Will DO us the
as obliged by courtesy, to
first give us a statement Of the
srievous sins committed by MS as
they understand them, that before
being condemned we may have an
opportunity Of pleading to the in.

Capt. Dick Simnott. had the mis-
fortune to blow ont one of her

1t will take some time to repair
the damages, but meanwhile, Capt.

Capt. Sinnot has tho earnest

THE CHOCTAW CLAIM.

DELEGATE MTCIIIYNN WISHES TO REFER THB CASE
TO THE COURT or CLAIMS.
TO the EdftOr OF The Tribune.
SIR: You seem to rejoice that Congress has 80 far
refused to pay the Choctaw Nation of Indians the
amount of money which the United State Senate
adiudged to DO duo them more than l6 years ago,
and which has been sanctioned by the reports of
more than half dozen committees of the Senate
and House. no adverse report having evor been
made AS an excuse for this refusal of payment, it
has been charged that the treaty and tho adjudica-
ton by the Senate under its provisions were
fraudulent. and, therefore, ought to be repudiacd.
Now my nation is willing and anxious that the
truth or fsity of these charges shall be tested by
the United States through its Court of Claims
and it will most cheerfuly abide its decision. Can
any honest man object to this proposi;onf Will
an honest constituency justify Congress in refusal
TO accept it' Very respectfully your obcdient
servant, 4. =. PnCiiLYNN.

EDUCATIONAL.

II has been said that s'tO be more
It il first necessary to know more,
and the adage has Q national az well
NJ an individual application. 1t Is
for this reason that compulsory ed
,,,.ational laws are enacted, and those
parents who do not educate their
children are classed with law break
ers. In the recognition Of this prin-
ciple is found the reason why our
public schools are regarded AS the
bulwarks of our Nation and the safe
guard of our national principles. 1t
was eminently proper then that, in
the dedication OF the new school
house in Gold Hill yesterday after
noon. all the usual forms and cere-
monies should be dispensed with
and the building dedicated by the
hosting OF the stars and stripes, and
the singing of our National ode.
There was . peculiar significance In
the fact that the dag was raised by
all the scholars. great and small.
Not only was this simple but signili-
cant act performed by those attend
ing school in the building, but also
by large delegations from the other
schools, both in Gold Hill, Ameri-
can Flat and Virginia City. By that
simple act the children were allowed
thus early in life to arrange them
selves under our National banner
and pledge themselves to sustain it
IN maturer years. The dedication,
though thus simple, was sublime.
Arrangements bad been previously
made, by means ofcoi DIS and pulleys
placed in the yard, for that purpose,
10 that not less than seven hundred
and fifty children assisted in raising
that flag to the top of the school
house and in singing the National
ode under its folds. AS the flag was
giveu TO the breeze, three cheers
were given with a will, and were
Joined in by old and young. After
the ode were sung, three more cheers
were given, and then the older MEM
bers of the school, with teachers and
visitors, adjourned to the room above
for the literary exercises. The small
or children of the primary and inter-
mediate departments were taken to
their respective rooms, and there
participated in the less intellectual
but to them, more enjoyable part Of
the festivities, which consisted OF a
bountiful supply Of cakes, candies,
etc. The gathering above was called
to. order by Professor Kent, who,
after q song by Mrs. Higgins, ad-
dressed the meeting at some length
and interestingly. Addresses were
also made by Hon. C. c. Stevenson
and Major Sherman, and Robt. Lind
say. Esq, favored the assemblage
with well rendered song.-Enter-
prise, Sunday.
