At its last session Congress appropriated
100000 for the Cherokee Nation. 1t will
be remembered that the Cherokees, in 1866,
accepted, as citizens, all of the white and
colored people living in their country, and
guaranteed full rights of citizenship to all.
The full-blooded Indians, however, now
have decided in their Legislature that the
sum of money appropriated shall go only to
themselves. The colored citizens have sent
Colonels Rogers and Daniels to the National
Capital to represent them in their claim for
their share, and Colonel Bushyhead is here
as the legal representative of the full
blooded Indians.
He vetoed the action of the Legislature
in appropriatipg all of the money for that
one specific branch of the people of the In
dian nation, but has now evidently decided
to act in its favor. Hon. John Amber
Smith has presented the claim of the col
ored citizens to Secretary Teller and Hon.
W. A. Phillips appears for the full-blooded
Indians. Mr.. Smith will oppose any pay
ment of the money to Chief Bushyhead un-
til his colored clients are protected. The
Interior Department will decide upon the
question this week.

grown boys arrange themselves In q perfectly
nude condition and swim in the Washington
channel, near the Long Bridge. Swimming Is
not allowed along the river front, and TO es-
cape the police the men snd boys procure
boats and move across the channel near the
flats, and, after stripping, spend hours In tho
water in view Of large number OF houses
occupied by many Of the most respectable
families of South Washington, and where they
can always be seen by the passengers on the
trains going to and from the South. The
bathers are mostly composed of the rougher
classes, and seem TO greatly enjoy exposing
their persons. Often when train is passing
q number of them stand In the boats, so that
they can be seen, and make use of shockingly
foul oaths. Tho men have been requested
several times to seek another bath
ing locality, but they expressed them
selves as being totally Indifferent
10 the wishes OF the lady residents, and said
that they would continue TO swim every day.
A petition is being circulated among the river
front residents, to be presented to the District
Commissioners, asking that arrangements be
made so that the police can pursue the parties
in boats and arrest them. The petition has
already been signed by large number, and
will be carried to the Commissioners as soon
as possible.

Mandamus Upon the Second Comp.
trOlIer.

Mr.. A. L. Merriman, as attorney for
James II. Elgin, has filed petition for a
maRdamus upon w. w. Upton, Second
Comptroller of the United States Treasury.
The petitioner states that on August 10,
1874, he presented to the Third Auditor of
the Treasury claim for the use and occu-
patton of certain real estate in Washington
County, Nd, by the United States military
forces during the war of the rebellion. The
property was taken possession of by the
military in 1864, without the consent of
Mr.. Elgin, and used by them for about
three years. The Third Auditor stated the
account favorable to the petitioner for
$1,000, and certified such allowance to the
Second Comptroller, and he complains that
the latter refuses to certify or examine the
account, on the ground that he has doubt
of such authority. The Court in Banc
granted a rule, returnable the first day of
next October.

New York is authority for the statement
that truce was arranged between the New
York Tribune and the President during the

Eyes" said this gentleman, "on the oc-
casion Of the opening of the Brooklyn
Bridge New York and Brooklyn were
welded and tell you for fact, that at
the same time Chester Allan Arthur stood
as best man at the wedding of the Half
Breeds and Stalwarts. In the future, in
the distribution Of patronage, the Half
Breeds will not be shelved as they have
been heretofore.
"Havn't you noticed" continued the
speaker, that the Tribune of late days has
ceased to say harsh things of the President.
Indeed it has in mild way commended
him to wait and watch and you will see
that great journal indorsing outright the
Administration. The bargain has been
signed and sealed, and l kdow it,
