Cherokee woman. Carlisle was an intel
ligent and industrious farmer, and in very
good circumstances, living about fifty
miles north Of Fort Scott, near the State
line in the Cherokee nation. He was
sitting on the porch Of his house after the
days labor in the cool Of the evening in
company with his wife, who was in
very bad health, and several children.
He directed . little son tostep down and
open the gate for the young men
who were we'll known TO all the family.
The latter rising from their seats, and Of
iering them to them. The visitors reach
ing the porch the two tiends who had
kept their weapons in readiness with the
utmost premeditation deliberately shot
down their unsuspecting host before tie
eyes Of his horror strnck family. The
wife and children lied in despair to the
fields. Late in the night they got some
neighbors to return with them 70 their
dwelling and found their husband and IA
ther cold in death at the foot Of the porch.
The fends had also taken of with them
about 81 800 in National Cherokee
scrip and among some other articles the
shoes off the feet OF the murdered man
and which were found two days afterwards
on the feet OF Sanders. Sanders was
taken by the Cherokee authorities Au-
gust Sth, two days after the murder, and
turned over TO the United States author.
ities, while his confederate Natter was
killed in the attempt to capture him.
Sanders was identified by Mrs. Carlisle,
who, to add to the terrors Of that fearful
night, was delivered Of a child. Her
children's testimony, among them a
daughter nearly grown, also pointed to
Sanders as the murderer.
VIM. Leach, the sixth man was q white
man, q native Of Georgia; aged about 35
years. For a number Of years Leach had
been living in the Cherokee nation, about
twenty miles from Fayetteville, near the
State line. In March Of last year, he
murdered in the Cherokee nations, a
white man named Watkins, wagon max
er living Just across the line in Arkansas.
The two had been seen last together near
Freeman's shop. Leach shot Watkins
from behind and then dragged the body to
u big log near by, and after placing a
lot Of wood on top Of the body
set the pile on fire. Some weeks after
wards the bones Of the murdered man
were found and identified by number
articles such as a knife, the metallic
button Of the bow of his fiddle, which he
had with hing at the time Of his murder,
etc. Leach aroused the suspicious OF the
people soon after Watkins disagpearanee
by somo- -vs-y ~:ss.!alO"uS rrmarks, and
being found in possession of the shoes,
which Watkins wore on the day Of his
death, the gun and other property recog-
nized as belonging to the deceased.
The murderer was unable to destroy or
efface the evidence oi his crime and soon
a chain Of evidence was wove around him
that led to his arrest, trial and convic-
tion. Each OF all OF the six when sent
for claimed 10 be innocent.

MADRID, April 2l.-senor Ulloa. lead
er Of the constitutional opposition, ut.
tackled the proposed constitution in the
Cortes to-day. He asked the Government
whether the dissenting chapels, schools,
cemeteries and publications would enjoy
full liberty, and whether Catholicism
would remain an indispensable quail
ifcation for persons wishing to
enter the public service. 4 mem
Der of the majority replied that the
government would grant equal liberty to
Protestants and Catholics in regard to
chapels and cemeteries. Other points
would hereafter be the object OF special
organic laws dictated by liberal, pru'
dent and common-sense spirit. Inhuen'
tiaI members OF the Moderate party de-
clared that Queen Isabella and Queen
Christina will soon return to Spain and
reside in the palace of Aranguez.

manv millions of silver out OF circuia-
ton. and at the same time the enormous
nroductiou of the Nevada mines has
thrown immense quantities of silver bul.
linn into the market. The combined
.Tsc, of these two causes has SO depressed
,he priee OF silver as to bring the value
of,bs standard silver coin below that OF
our present deprecated paper, and render
possible the experiment that is about to
be tried. The alteration in the value
OF silver is probably Of sufficient
permanence to make it unlikely that
it will rise above the present value of
our paper money. But still the cir
culation i4 not without difficulties and
anomalies. For instance, in the East the
new coin will pass as halves and quarters
Of paper dollar worth only about eigh-
ty.eight cents in gold, whereas in Califor-
MIA the same coins will be found to be
halves and quarters OF the gold dollar IL
self. The tendency of course will be to
food the Pacific coast with silver in ex-
change for dollar wor.h thirteen per
cent. more than the dollar Of the East.
This evidently is one cause which will
operate to drain the East OF silver and
the West Of gold, and ii any cause should
arise to occasion an advance in the price
of silver, or further depreciation of the
paper money to such m extent as to re-
verse the present relative value OF the
two currencies, just as surely as such a
condition occurs will the silver wholly
disappear from circulation.

BrlstoW and the Bark Mary Mer.
rift

LOUISVILLE, April 2l.-A Courier-Jour-
nal reporter interviewed Hon. Walter
Evans, of this city, in reference to the
case OF the bark Mary Merritt, about
which Mr.. Cate, of Wisconsin, offered
resolution in Congress. Mr.. Evans
said that there was nothing in Secretary
Bristow's connection with that case which
was in the slightest improper, but on the
contrary his sensitiveness Us to official
propriety had reaulted in great injury to
his (Evans) client Mr.. Evans said
the facts are these: The bark Mary
Merritt was owned by Murray, Of Cana:
du, who bought her from Trice Bros, OF
Hopkinsville, KY. On warranty the
bark was seized and IibelIed in Wiscon.
sin for a mere technical violation and
then forfeited by decree. From this de.
cree an appeal to the Supreme Court was
taken, and Trice Bros. employed Feland
& Evans Us lawyers to obtain remission
OF the forfeiture. They visited Wash
ington and offered BristOw employment
in the case, he then holding no public
office. Their proposition to him was
declined, but Bristow introduced them
to Secretary Richardson. Mr.. Evans says
that this was done without compensation,
and purely for friendship. The efforts
before Richardson did not succeed owing
10 the representations OF Weiss, the in.
former in the case. Subsequently when
Bristow became Secretary OF the Treas
ury, application for the remission was
renewed, but he positively refused to act
in the case, placing his refusal upon the
ground that he had already appeared in
Tie cases described. Weiss subsequently,
Evans understood, made an affidavit
stating that he had been misin-
formed, and writing in a,prayer that
the application for the remission should
be granted. Mr.. Evans learned that the
remission was approved BY Mr.. Conant,
the acting Secretary Of the Treasury, at-
ter examination of the case by the Solic-
itOr Of the Treasury. His clients never
obtained remission, nor has he and his
partner received cent for services. Mr..
Evans ztates diSlincly ufaI BriStow was
never attorney in the case and never re-
ceiyed farthing for his friendly services
and pronounces the assault utterly
groundIess and az made for malicious
