lowing account of a double robbery On
Thursday last, about shutdown. two trav-
elers- David Cruise and one armed man
called Banjo ''-both colored, called at
the house OF Isaac Smith, near Craft S
store, on Sourland Mountain, and asked
for Mr.. Smith. lie at the time had gone
to neighb3r's, and at the request of the
travellers his housekeepar went out to
call him. During her absence they broke
open smith trunk, took from it suit of
clothes. and with these double barrel
gun decamped. They then called upon
Firmau Titus, who lives near Pierro's
Hill, on the Hopewell road To him they
offered to sell the coat stolen from Smith
for dollar. Titus bought it and took
from his pocket-beok, which contained
about S31, the money to'pay for it, I'M
mediately one of the villains throttled
him, and the other cut out his pocket and
secured the money. They then left, for
getting in their hurry to take the gun aud
clothes stolen from Smith Titus daugh-
ter, who lives with him, raised the alarm.
Dick Clerkson, son-in.law of Titus, fol.
lowed the robbers to Hopewell lie there
secured the services of Constable Ewing
and started for Trenton. After tho train
had started Clarkson and the Constable
discovered that Cruise and Banjo were
on. For some unexplained reason they
did not Immediately arrest the negroes.
At Pennington the negroes left the train
and were pursued, but scaling a high
board fence, they disappeared in the
bushes aud are yet at large.
p. S.-We have learned since that Cruise
has been arrested at YardleyVile.

A petition was presented from residents
in the vicinity of the junction OF York and
Franklin streets, calling the attention of
Council to the fact that the bed of the

Now, ingenious opponents are

There is no power in America, un-

If a man is welcome in society, he

This language Is unqualified and
cannot be misunderstood by those
who know English. These treaties
have never been denied By the
Cherokeos. Thoy are the supreme
law Of the land, The majority
rules in the Cherokee Nation a. IN
every democratic form Of govern
mont but the majority cannot With
wisdom nor with safety make clsss
distinctions, whore race disllnc-
iions and prciudicos already exist,
Especially mwiso and unsafe il i
to do gross and palpablo injustice
TO such classes Of citizens. Our
boat is none too strong at best and
If deep prejudice aud enmity is ex-
cited in the hearts Of these classes
against the Cherokee government
by unjust treatment they might in
angry resentment knock a hole in
the bottom ofthe boat. We donot
believe in making political dlstinc-
lions Of Mll.blood, halfbreed,
Shawnees, Delawares, adopted cit
izens-(whitos, creeks, Wyandottes
and other lndians) negroes, etc.
The citizens of the Cherokee Nation
though largely Chcrokees. are also
ofmany other Nations. Our laws
should protect and deiendall alike
and give to all equal privileges IN
order to secure from all an wwav-
ering allegiance. It's unwise and
unsafe to alicnate any class of citi-
zens and by unfair treatment make
them enemies to the present form
of government. We do not believe
our people would deliberately do
wrong. The full-blood is as rule
a very honest, pLun straightfor-
ward man. The idea has been drill
ed into the people that west Of 96
was a special titbit belonging to
Cherokees alone. The chiefs veto,
crammed as it was with plain
treaty and solid argument, was de-
clared by politicians to be trick
to catch Delaware, Shawnee and
Negro votes. Mr., Busheyhcad is
not an idiot and if he wanted to
catch votes he would not advocate
the cause of one-ffth in the face of
the rights offour-fifths. would |
not bid for one vote as against four
votes. It took moral back bone to
that veto just on the eve |
ola general election and serious
conviction that the good Of the Ma
ton demanded his opposition to
class distinction.
The Council was led into this ac-
ton, however, by improper drill
ing and unwise advice, and we are
convinced that on reflection the
Council will remedy the matter at
its next meeting. We sincerely
nope those who feel Sighted will
wait that session and then present
heir grievance. The matter will
le better understood and will be
airly and squarelyadi diusted as the
light Of the matter appears.
