Charlotte, N. c., Aug. 4, 1886.

A decision has been rendered by the
Supreme Court of the District of Column
bia which will attract considerable atten-
ton, as it determines a long disputed
point involving the relation of the gov
eminent to the Indians. In 1888 Con-
gress passed an act apprOpriating $780,
900 to pay an old claim of the Cherokee
Indians against the government. Chief
Bushyhead is alleged to have paid s225,-
900 Of this sum to w. A. Phillips and
other lobbyists who secured the passage
of the bill. An indictment was found
against Phillips and others for defraud-
ing the Cherokee Indians of this amount
Of money, and the case came to trial.
After brief argument the Court granted
a motion of the defense to quash the in
dictment on the ground that the Chero-
kee Indians, against whom the offense
was alleged to have been committed, are
q foreign nation; that the offense was
not a violation of the laws of the United
States, and the Court had no jurisdiction.
This decision has been the subject of
much talk at the Capitol, and is Endorsed
by the most prominent lawyers in both
Houses of Congress, who hold that so
long as the United States government
makes treaties with Indian tribes they
cannot be regarded in any other light
than as independent foreign nations.
But it is suggested that many perplexing
questions may arise out of this decision,
one of which is whether q reservation,
recognized by treaty as the property of
foreign nation, is subject to jurisdic-
ton Of the United States, or must be
considered as foreign territory. At the
present session of Congress several bills
have been passed granting rights of way
to railway companies through the various
Indian reservations, and Congress has
been very generous in this respect to sew
eral companies that want to run lines
through the territory OF these same
Cherokees, who are pronounced . foreign
nation. Any one who cares to test the
validity Of these acts can make the rail-
road companies considerable trouble, as
under the decision of the Court Congress
has no more authority to vote a right of
way through the Cherokee Naoion than
through India or Persia The govern
ment may acquire lands Of the Indians
BY treaty, but cannot give railway COM
uanies or others rights upon them.

that the colored people of Concord who
voted for prohibition did so from princi-
pie and understood they were simply
performing their duty as citizens. They
do not appreciate the insult offered to
barbecue them. 1t is the better class of

male associates are generally ladies, and
they do not care to have woman" nor

A Visit to Chester. S. c.

1t was our pleasure to spend the greater
of last week in Chester, S. C. 1t is an
old town, made up of some of the best
people we have ever met. The Grand
Lodge of Odd Fellows was in session
there last week and the happy mood in
which they left showed that they all had
happy time. The parade on Thursday
was very fine, the speeches were good and
the fair was a grand success. The Grand
Lodge officers for the ensuing year were
publicly installed in the festival hall on
Thursday night and the lodge adjourned
to meet in Yorkville ON the first Tuesday
in August, 1887.
We stopped with Mrs. Diana Abraham
and feel sure that one could not be bet
ter treated in the State Of South Caro-
lima. Mr.. Abraham is an industrious
worker, clever gentleman and a hearty
Odd Fellow.
Rev. Mr.. Crockett, of the Zion Metho-
dist church, is getting on nicely with his
people and has made some improvements
on the church. The Baptists have a
new church. Rev. Attles is getting
on nicely with his church and is very
snugly fixed in his new dwelling with his
accomplished bride. Miss Annie Walker
is at home, helping in every good work,
going like a busy bee, stopping to rest
only after she has exhausted her strength.
The friends there are very anxious to
have her remain at home and work with
them next winter.
It was our pleasure to meet, while there,
Miss Sue Black, Of Yorkville, Rev. +.
Hinton, Of Lancaster, Rev. G. w. Gin
ton, of Fort Lawn. W. d. Archer, Of

State. We hope to visit Chester again
in few weeks and double our list Of sub

One day this week an old man was
seen going up street saying he was going
to hunt law. Later in the afternoon he
was seen going around hunting $3.50 to
get loose from law. The readers, the
thinkers and the better class of our peo-
pie ought to impress upon the others
that their worst enemy Is magistrate.
They ought to think how little they are
protited and how often both sides paw
costs. They ought to think these mag
istrates get their living from the fifty
cent day hard earnings principally OF
colored people. Our people must learn
to live more friendly together and to set
tie their little troubles with themselves
instead of running to a magistrate while
in passion. The person complaining
often pays costs, loses character and
never makes anything. Let us do right
and live more nelghborly.

The Goat.

The common or domestic goat was
originally native of the highlands of
Asia. Naturalists generally regard it as
having descended from an animal found
in the Caucasus Mountains and the hill
country of Persia, called in the Persian
language, the paseng. Its legs are longer
than those of the common goat, and its
horns arc very much larger. It is not
always easy to distinguish between the
species and varieties of goats. The com.
mon goat has existed as domestic ami
NAL in Oriental countries from the very
earliest times. From there it spread all
over the world, manifesting a remarkable
adaptability to climate aud circum-
stances. In this diversity of surround
ings, great diversity of breeds has ap-
pearcd, such as the Angora goat, the
Syrian goat, the Cashmere goat, the
Guinea goat of Africa, and many others.
No quadruped, except the dog, has
shown such susceptibility of variation.
These differences show most markedly
in the quality and quantity Of the hair,
and in the relative abundance of the
two coats, the long, silky outer covering
and the softer woolly hair beneath il.
Goats are found wild in mountainous
countries only; they are very sure-footed
on narrow lodges or rocks, and show
great strength and ability in leaping
They also prefer as food the leaves and
branches Of shrubs and the herbs found
on mountains to the heritage of the
richest lowland pastures. Among the
Greeks and Romans the goat was sac
rifced to Bacchus because of its ten
dency to iniure grapevines by eating its
young tendrils and leaves. The goat is
not found wild in extreme Northern
countries, but when under domestication
thrives as well within Q shed in the
Northern districts Of Scandinavia as in
the hottest parts of Asia and Africa
All the species Of the goat are natives Of
the Old World. The Rocky Mountain
goat, so-called, OF North America, really
belongs TO the antelope sanity. Inter-
Ocean.

Talk with a Snake Charmer.

Saint she beautyp asked Prof.
D'Angelo, the snake cbarmer, as he in
troduced the Tribune reporter to huge,
writhing python. If snakes are ever
beautiful this one certainly was, and what
was more it seemed really to express an
affection for the Professor, as it twined
itself around his body and neck and laid
its small, shining head, with diamond
like eyes, close beside his check and often
extended its small forked tongue over the
Professors face caressingly.
"What is such snake worth?" asked
the reporter, at safe distance.
"This one l would not sell for $500.
She is such beauty and am fond Of
her. Good snakes can be purchased for
about $50, and they go all the way up to
$500.
"What causes such fuctnation in
value?'
when snake is small and green or
uneducated, it's not worth much. 1t takes
some time to educate them, and this pro-
cess is attended with much danger An
educated snake that you can put on fol
an act is worth $500 of any mans money.
Then, of course, size has great deal to
do with it. A big snake is paying card,
if not trained. Then the way snake is
marked, or ringed, as we say, is liable to
make big difference in price, and the
deadlier the snake the more valuable it
is"
"Where do you get your snakes"
"Of the regular agencies in New York.
Berlin and other places where snakes are
kept on SALE"
''How are they capturedp
''Most of the large snakes are decoyed
into pits and then bagged. Rattlesnakes
are decoyed out of their holes by means
of string of rattles attached to a stick.
They hear the rattles and come out Of
their holes. A forked stick is put ovei
their head and then they are easily
picked up"
GLOW do you commence to educat,
snakesg"
"Those which have poisonous bite,
and most of them have that, must have
their fangs removed, then they become
harmless. The snakes Of the b,a con
strictor species are gorged with food be-
fore they are handled, and strong man
with proper assistance can soon subdue
them"
at takes great deal of nerve, does it
not2"
"Well, some, to pick up strange
snake The secret of snake-training is
to get the reptiles acquainted and accus-
toned to you. This is no easy matter,
but it has to be done. After they learl
to like you they are the most atfectionat'
things in the world "-DetYOW Tribune.
