Interesting Letters Regarding the Trou-
BILE Among the Greeks.
CHICAGO, Jaa 4-There being much un
certainty and several conflicting stories
about the Indian Territory, the follow
ing letters from men of prominence in
Indian territorial politics, will prove OF
interest, particularly as they give an in
sight into the past as well as the present
history and status of the matter.
Judge Slsdham is Creek, and for many
years has been one of the important fac.
tors in all Iudian matters. He Is we'll
known in Washington, having for sever
al years been delegate il congress from
the territory. His patriotic efforts Tor
his people, and thorough understanding
of questions which concern them, make
his contributions really valuable as his
tory. McKellop is also thoroughly
informed Greek in legislative and mar
tial matters, is the clerk of the house ol
warriors, corresponding to the house
of representatives in the United States,
and is deeply interested in The welfare
of the nation.
Judge G. w. Stedham, living at Eu-
faula, writes:
The Greek nation has been divided in.
to two bands from time immemorial
known as the Upper and Lower Creeks
each with a principal and assistant
chief, but living under one government

s. c. Beckley has purchased the Ca. naan NEWS. We wish him success HiAsdole Herald.
 The Connecticut Western NEWS, which recently changed hands, Col Harden bergh having sold out to s. c. Beckley, is fully sustaining its reputation as a bright rews gatherer. Here's the right hand of fellowship, Brother Beckley. We've been in the business @ year and can pat you on the shoulder like vete- ran.-Ne,O Hartord Tribune.
 The third issue of the Connecticut Western NEWS, under the administration of its new proprietor, MT s. c. Beckley, made its appearance on Wednesday, and indications are plain enough that the readers of that paper have lost nothing in the change recently made in that office. MT Beckley was in other days Herald reporter, and appears to have an unmis- takable gift as local journalist. It was his pen which gave to the world, tin the Herald's columns, 1S68), the first ac- count of the wonderful cave near the Twin Lakes in Salisbury. He will pub fish a paper which may safely be ad- mitted to any home circle, and we hope his efforts to give the towns in his vicin- ity clean, sensible and newsy sheet will be properly appreciated.

MT c. B. Johnson of Newtown has

MT c. B. Johnson of Newtown has
 been connected with the NEWS since January and retires from the same to,
 day. He is a rapid and correct compos- itor, habits are excellent, pleasant and agreeable disposition and he will make friends wherever he locates. He can command larger salary than the NEWS can afford to pay and this Is the reason of his retirement from the NEWS. We shall know who to call on, if at any time we need assistance.
 We are indebted to "The Hartford Evening Post" for copy of the 'Even- ing Post Annual, Connecticut at the National and State Capitols, 1883" It Is handsomely bound volumn of over 200 pages. and contains biographical sketch and portrait of the state officers, Governors staff, Aids De Camp, United States senators, Congressmen, State senators and Speaker of the House. It also contains sketch of the represent atives, with portraits of many of them. A commercial index is also added. It demonstrates to us the enterprise of the Evening Post in compiling this valuable work. It will be an important addition to the library of the NEWS, and we invite our friends to call and examine the book Send $1 to the Post publishers and receive copy.
 The Winsted Herald has brought to mind the caves near Twin lakes. This gives an opportunity to remark that we think S10O judiciously expended on the cave first discovered would en- large the narrow passages connecting its immense rooms and enable visitors to traverse the entire cave without having to creep through some of the low open ings between the rooms. We never approved of the outlay that was made on cave number two, which cannot com pare with cave number one, which has never yet been fully explored. Cave number one is the largest cave in this section of the country and a small out lay upon it would remove many obsta- cles that now make 8 journey through 1t difficult A little money expended in this cave would be paying investment, as thousands of people would visit it and would be willing to pay at least dime to see this wonderful
