WASHINGTON, May Am important
case affecting the Cherokee Nation is
now being argued before the Court of
Claims. Certain Cherokees in North
Carolina and Mississippi are suing for a
partition and distribution involving
nearly $2,O0O,0O0 in lands and money.
They claim equal Ownershipin the wealth
of the nation in Indian Territory by right
of their tribal origin, although it is so
years since the main body of the Chero-
KEGS emlgrated westward. Those who
remain in the East are known as the
Eastern Cherokees and number about
$1,000 while the Western Cherokees num-
Der %, 900. The Western Indians cannot
see why they should divide their wealth
with people who refuse to leave the East
and become citizens of the Cherokee
Nation. They offer to give them all rights
and privileges if this is done, but they
will not admit the existence Of a partner
ship under the present condition of affairs.
The nation is subjected continually to
demands from all quarters and is kept
busy IN defending he property it has

Governor, and courts. School houses.

The Russellville Democrat., 1885-01-08

The DEMOCRAT sends its New
Years greeting to It's readers, and
to the citizens of Pope county in
general. The past year to it has
been one halfmixed with disappoint-
ments. Sharing the common lot of
mortals, it has had its ups and downs,
the downs frequently preponderat-
ing. Enough of its purposes and
expectations have been reached to
make it heir to hope for the future.
It's ambition Is not high, and the
more easily realized on that account.
1t aspirss not to great things, but to
be the quiet mouth piece and repre-
sentative of the common people. Ii
feels satisfied to claim q common in.
terest in Pore county affairs, and to
spend it's energy in Pope county de
velopment This it does, has done,
and will do TO the end. 1t has nc
grievance which it is not ready now
to cancel. Let the past bury its
dead, is its motto. The methods and
principles which commended them
selves to its judgment, were accept
ed by it in the past, and will be in
the future. Like everything else
that thinks, 1t has been necessarily
placed in opposition to men and
projects. But it comes now TO where
it turns its back on any and every
thing in the nature of grudge. Il
wants TO start the New Year without
any Of this sort Of stock on hand II
believes in the wisdom of cleaning
out all this kind Of rubbish once Q
year. It's advice to everybody is te
start out in 1885 by making clean
sweep of all old grudges, spites, bit
terness and anlmoslty, and keep q
clean sweep on this score through
the year. Nothing pays less than
things Of this sort. Some OF them
with some people will be hard to up
root, but sensible men can do it, and
we know of nothing better we could
do than to lay the example and like
the poet say;
Here's a hand for any fate.n
We do not intend TO indicate thu

TIE question is how did the
erasures occur on Churchilfs bondsf
Who made them and what for? And
were they made legally. or IS there q
legal way for erasures to be madef
If SO, were these made that ways A
surety on a note has legal conditions
to comply with before he can be rid
of his liability. 1t looks like the
same ought to be the case on bonds.
According TO Chancellor Carroll
decision the state looses about sew
enty thousand dollars. The people
feel 1t to be an outrage, and they
would like to understand how it was
done. The Chancellor decides the
bondsmen released, but holds Church
i'll himself. This does not help the
case cent. Churchill was elected
Treasurer and made his bonds, Civ
ing as good men as Arkansas afford
ed for security. Things went crook
ed. A defalcation was feared, some
of the bondsmen erased their names.
Churchill. sure enough, defaulted,
suit was brought to recover from his
bondsmen, case tried in court, de-
cidcd that those erasares vitiated
the bonds as to the sureties. The
bonds on which the erasures were
made HAPPENED to be the first and
third, the very ones in which the
defalcation occurred. On the second
bond, there was no default hardly,
and no erasures, strange coincidence
The State lost about seventy thous
and dollars, and this is about all we
know about the Churchill defalca-
tlor. The funny thing about it is,
how easy those bonds were secured,
and the ensures made. just as
nicely done as If served up by a
slight Of hand performer. Nothing
like doing the thing up brown, you
know.
