The Cherokee Claim.


The Senate Committee on Indian AT.
fairs reported, on the Esd ult., a bill to
allow the Eastern band of Cherokee In
dams to bring suit before tho Court of
Claims against the Cherokee Nation for
the adjustment Of claim. This claim
is for pro rata share of the money de-
rived from the sale OF lands by the Cher
okee Nation. The Eastern band claim
that the property belonged to the whole
nation, and that the western portion OF
the tribe retained il all. The bill autho-
rizes the Eastern band to employ attor-
neys, the contract to be approved by the
chief justice of the Court Of Claims, and
directs the Secretary Of the Interior to
pay the necessary expenses of the SUIT
outside of attorneys fees. 1t is also
that the United States shalt be
made party to the suit, and shall be rep
resented by the Attorney General. This
suit is to settle IN old claim that has fig
urcd before the Departments since 1885.

YOUNG AND OLD DEMOCRACY.

There seems to be an unnecessary Ell
fort on the part Of the Arkansas Demo
crat to create division, or, at least, to
excite a jealousy, between the old and
young democracy of the State. For one,
we are opposed to all such entauglements.
Let us have the best men for office, be
they young or old. If the elder has the
better claims, or is equally well qualiti
ed, it should be the pleasure of the
younger to yield to the claims of the
elder. Let lis be done with this silly and
uncalled-fo for line of demarkation between
the young and old. We want the wis
dom, counsel and efforts of all-the grey
haired veteran, and beardless youth. We
want peace and harmony in our ranks.
With these necessary accessories, victory
is sure to the democracy.
We extract from a timely and we'll
tempered article on the subject from the
Pine Bluff Press, tho following:
Seriously, what's the use of discrimi-
mating? What Arkansas most needs is
Il united democracy. The holding of of
flee is a trfle to the great interests of our
beloved commonwealth. But Brother
Smithee seems to think that " young"
men are only advanced when dangerap
proaches. 70 some extent he may be
right /; but will he point us to country
under the sun where such has not been
the rule for ages past? And why should
not this be so This interrogation does
not need reply. 1t is maxim as old
as the world that the eounsels of old men
are needed in every emergency, because
Old men are wise. We will dwell no
longer on these stubborn truths.
Why do the Young Democracy com
| plain! That is the question. Have they
been to great extent left in Arkansas
since the adoption of our present Con-
stitution Is Garland, our noble U. S.
Senator, an old man Is Cause, is Gun
ter, is Cravens, is Slemons, is Miller, is
Crawford, is Beavers, is Henderson, is
Hill, is Galloway, and last, but by no
means least, is Col. Smithee who has for
four years held the office of State Land
Commissioner, and who could have been
reelected for the third term-we say, is
he an old man? No, indeed. All of
them are comparatively young men. And
do the Old Men complain at this ? No,
indeed. Then, Mr. Young Democracy,
pray tell us why this fuss and fustian
about nothing. Are you attempting to
break up the party, Young Democracy,
for the purpose OF joining thirty thous-
and republican voters2 If not, what in
the name of heavens are you striving
| for ?"

LITTLE Rock, March 20, 1878.


At meeting of this committee, held pu :
uant to adjournment, In the city of Little
Rock, March 20, 1878, in was resolved by the
committee that Convention of the Demo-
cratic party of the State of Arkansas be called

purpose of nominating candidates for the
State offices to be voted for at the general
election to be held on Monday; the ID day
of September, in said year, and for the trans
action OF such other business as may be DEEM
ed advisable.
1t was resolved by the committee that the
basis of representation In said Convention
and until said Convention may otherwise or
der shall be one vote for each 400 votes, and
one vote for such fraction over 200 votes, as
east for William k. Miller, candidate for Gov
ernor at the last election. held on the 4th
September, 1876
And nasmuch as It has been the practice
heretofore to send from the counties adjacent
to the place of holding the Convention large
number of delegates. who, by the moral
weight of their numbers In excess ofthe votes
to which they are entitled. give advantage
over the distant counties IN the ch9lHe Of ean e
alaNteS. AID ihfSWsaann t Of harmony in the par

number of delegates allowed to the several
counties should be limited to the number of
votes which they are entitled to cast In the
Convention: in compliance with which action
of the committee, hereby announce that the
Democratic State Convention ut the time
named by said committee. to wit the 4th day
of July next, will meet at the city of Little

Ozark Democratic is our opinion
Franklin county will take the palm from
any county in the Northwest for produc-
ing the largest number of bales. By the
way, Bro. Durham, is it possible that all
the cotton ginned at the three cotton
gins in Franklin that you include in your
cotton report, were from Crawford 1t
does seem to us that at least one half was
from Franklin, as the best cotton lands
around these gins are in this county.
We have no reason to question the
word Of the gentlemen running the gins
mentioned. Have you any doubt OF
the truth Of their statement If So
out with it.

What a MOUNTAINEERING Democrat Thinks,

EDITOR VAN buren, PRESS As the times
for holding our primary conventions are
drawing near, and some of us who claim
to be democrats in deed and truth, who
seem to be asleep in the interest of the
party, think it high time to awake out of
sleep, scrape the rust from our pens, and
try to prevent some difficulty that might
otherwise occur. In the first place we
have a very painful recollection of the
campaign of two years ago. The strug-
gle in that campaign, in this county, was
for sheriff. We had two candidates for
the office, and both tried men. The dem
ocrats, who were true to the party, did
all they could to carry the democratic
party solid. But did they do it We
answer no. Many who claim to be dem
ocrats, voted for Grady. The record Of
both men was before us. If that of Ora
! dy be true, it would make spoon Butler
or Powell Clayton blush; while that of
Capt.J. +. Winfrey was without spot or
blemish. What do we now see? Not
withstanding the short lapse Of time,
some of the Grady democrats are haul
ing TO the front, and asking the county
convention to give them preference over
other democrats (who have never bowed
the knee to Baal, nor has his mark been
found in their forchead) by giving them
the nomination. Now let me, in view Of
the facts before me, say that | believe
every true democrat in the county wants
to vote for the nominee, as we believe
the only hope Of success depends upon
it. Nevertheless, some of us don't want
any Grady democracy in ours, for we
believe the nominations can be made
without them. We are willing to give
every man fair trial, and give the nom
nation to the best man. Let each town
ship send their best men to the county
convention, and instruct for the best and
strongest men in the county. Should
they find the best man was not seeking
the office, let them start the office to seek
him, and when found, give him the nom
nation, and we will give him the office
Let every delegate 60 to the convention
with the interest Of the party at heart
Let Us have a fair, peaceable and honest
convention, and then all will be satisfied
and will unite upon the ticket made As
a party, we have nothing to fear, if we
are tue to ourselves.

The CoIor-Line in New England.

1t is perfectly natural and reasonable
to suppose that in New England, the
natal home of abolitionsm-as we'll as
every other ism that has worked itself
into the political, social or moral atmos-
phcre of the country--tlroro would be a
marked degree of atfectionate regard for
the negro, toward whom its peoples
great CO heart went out in wondrous
pity, in ante-beilum days. Such, howev-
er, is not the case. The social-equality
principle which that section would hurl
in the face of the South, to add insult to
her humiliation, is pill which they can
not, and WILL not swallow. To prove
that the Yankcc-love for the negro was
wholly fabulous and hypocritical, and
aetuated by, and born OF, jealousy of the
political and social power and prosperity
Of the South and not from any, the least,
desire to benefit the negro, we append
the following:
