ESPECIAL TO THE SILVER STATED
New York, August IL.

A private dispatch received here I'M
nounces the death by assassination OF
Senior Gabriel Garcia Mareno. Presi-
dent of the Republic of Ecuador. No
details have yet been received.
ST.. LOUIS, August IL.
Secretary Lyons of the Executive
Department of the Cherokee Nation,
has arrived here. He says it will be
impossible to tell whether Ross or
Thompson is elected Chief until after
the official count of the ballots, the
contest having been so close as to
leave the result in doubt. Ross APP
pears, however, now to have major
ity of SO. The ballot-boxes are in the
Executive Department, and will not be
opened until the Council meets in No
vember. Lyons pays high tribute to
the Ross administration, and says the
reports of lawlessness have been to
considerable extent canards and mis-
representations of correspondents, and
not the result of political excitement.
A Cherokee orphan asylum has been
founded, female seminary has been
established at Park Hall. seminary
schools have been opened for the chill
dren, and the Nation is in flourish
ing condition in every respect. Lyons
says that an entire new code OF laws
for the government of the Indian Ma
ton goes into effect on the first of No
vember. The new code follows closely
those of the States for the punishment
of crime, and much more comprehen-
sise than the old code. Under the
old code, if an Indian shot, but did not
kill, another, there was no punish
ment for him. The new code makes
this a crime, and makes necessary
Jail, something heretofore unknown in
this Nation, which has just been fin
ished at cost of 81, 100 at Tahlequash.

ton. The fund of the Nation in the
United States Treasury is steadily in
creasing, and the interest from it is
amply sufficient for the maintenance
of the Executive Department, schools
and the asylum.

A gentleman from the Usage Agency
reports that the Indian Commission to
investigate the conduct of Agent Glib
son are in session. He says the Com
missioners appear very partial to Glib
son, and Indian Inspector Kimball is
doing everything he can to have Glib
son whitewashe1. The Osages have
charged him with inefhciency, fraud
and corruption; with cruelty and ne
glect of those who did not comply with
his wishes; with An attempt to force
the Quaker religion on those who pre-
ferred the Catholic; with dividing the
lands, making new chiefs, producing
discord and strife. The Commission
ers are looked upon as set of white
washers.
