THE MISSIONARY"

Centuries ago our Savior said,
"Let he that is without sin cas-,
the first stone"
The Advocate devoted some
thing over half column last week
TO calling the junior editor OF the
CHIEFTAIN a liar. There was no at
tempt to substantiate the assertion,
and we presume the editor relied
for proof on repeating the charge
as often as possible within the
allotted space. In many months
he has probably not served his
employers better, for while abus-
ing party who is morally as far
his superior as daylight is remote
from darkness, he was not aiding
in scheme to rob and plumber the
people.
Great stress is laid upon the
observance ofthe eighth command
ment. From all accounts the
editor Of the Advocate has repeat
edly shown a fondness for break
ing the seventh. This we are
sorry, on his account, to say is a
crime against the laws of man as
we'll as against the divine law.
In the closing sentence OF his
potion of billingsgate jargon the
Advocate man discloses the ami
mus of it all. He would like TO
see the man who distresses him so
eorely, rushed out of here at
lightning speed. Poor, simple,
idiot. He fondly fancies his
troubles would thus be ended.
Not SO, however, for the mission
ary" work would 60 right along.
Black as the Kansas man is
painted by this great and shining
light who thus presumes to sit in
judgment, he was never indicted
nor even accused of a crime. The
editor Of the Aduoeate cannot truth
fully say the same.
If you have any doubts as TO
our mans right to remain here,
you should make complaint to
the solicitor Of Cooweescoowee
district.

Col. T. NJ. GUNTER, of Fayette-
vile, Arkansas, as a letter pub
lished elsewhere states, will be
present at our fair and will make
us a speech. The colonel's name
is prominently used in connection
with the position of United States
marshal for the western Arkansas
district and no appointment could
be made that would be more
acceptable to the people of this
country. He is a pleasant speaker
as well as an able man and should
be heard by all.

TOM HOWE.

FoRr SMITH, ARK, September -, 1855.
EDITORS OF INDIAN CHIEFTAIE:-
Some one who signs himself "Na-
tive" in the Advocate last week
advances a strange doctrine in
answering a communication of Tom
Howie.
Tom Howie is one of a class: he
is a Cherokee citizen by marriage
and stands precisely in the same
relation to the Cherokee nation as
adopted citizens-whites, Shaw
nees, Delawares and negroes. If
the declaration OF "Mr. Native" is
good law as to Howie, it is good as
to all the classes l have named.
1t is true as Native" says, that
Tom Howie does not own one foot
of Indian land nor one cent of
Indian money!" but for that
matter neither does "Native" or
anybody else in the Cherokee na-
ton, unless it be the Z ID per cent.
thieves who have stolen some Of
the money.
The argument Of Native" is a
curious one; as witness this
sentence:
"He," Howie, "is no Cherokee
Indian by blood, by any law Of the
United States, or of the Cherokee
nation, nor by treaty"
"Native" will enlighten the
scientific world if he will explain
how it would be possible to make
a white man an Indian by blood,
through The medium Of legislation.
That Mr.. Howie is amenable to
the United States courts proves
nothing, for so is Native" and
every Cherokee. "Native" is
subject to the jurisdiction Of the
United States courts, in cases
where he and another Cherokee
may be the only parties, and for
offences committed in the Chero-
kee nation.
1t is not true as a matter Of
fact, as Native" asserts, nor is it
law, that the president has the
legal power to remove Tom Howie,
or any other adopted citizen from
the Indian territory, even though
they may be unsuitable persons
to be in the Indian country"
Under the present treaties and
laws "any convict" to use the
words Of Native"-"sh shipped from
the further shore of the Atlantic"
if legally married to a Cherokee
Indian, has exactly the same right
and privilege in the Cherokee
n alton, and the same interest in
the lands and invested funds of
the Cherokees, as the Cherokees
by blood. The act of the council
which restricted the division ST the
100000 to Cherokees by blood
only, was a gross violation Of the
treaties and constitution of the
Cherokee nation, and is null and
void. 1t will be so held by con-
yress, and the Cherokee nation
will be compelled TO indemnify all
citizens who were
deprived of their proportion.
/ presume Mr.. Native" does
not pretend to be a lawyer; bat he
ough. TO possess common sense
enough to know that he makes
ridiculous by advancing
such absurdities as abound in his
communication.

OBITUARY.


CooDI's BLuST, I. T., September, 7, 1855.
Died, at the residence of hel
son, Mr.. Charles Armstrong, Mrs.
Mary Armstrong, age 50 years and
s months.
After a lingering illness Of six
weeks her suffrrings were relieved
last evening, 9th inst.
Mrs. Armstrong was born Decem.
Der, %, 1903 at Gnadenhutten,
Tuscarawas county, Ohio. Emf.
grated with her people to Canada
in 1926, thence to Kansas in 1887,
and to the Indian Territory in
1869 where she resided up to the
time Of her death. She was with
out doubt the oldest woman in
Cooweescoowee district. At the
time Of her death she was sur
rounded by her son, grand-chil-
dren and great-grand-children.
1t will be remembered her birth
place is the village where the
Delaware christians were burned
alive 102 years ago; where 81
Indians were burned in the
Moravian church by a British
scouting party from Pittsburg,
under a Gen. Crawford.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted this evening by Rev. Chas.
Journeycake and Mr.. Adams.
The sympathy Of this communi-
ty is with the bereaved family
with whom Mrs. Armstrong for
many years has made her home.
God has been kind to the departed
in life-in death He has been
gracious.
To see the family circle was the
last great boon He gave, ere she
with death shook hands and
smiled that she was free. K.
