Inc only act oil importance
passed last week is the ono ex-
tending the time from April LIST to
May 1st for the introduction, by
our own citizens, Of cattle into the
nation. This will be hailed with
pleasure by those Of our citizens
who are engaged in the cattle busi-
ness. The old law amounted to a
prohibition against the driving of
stock into the country, as of late
years cattle could not subsist upon
the grass early as the 1st of April.
A lively trade in cattle may be ex-
pected and better times generally.
Claim for attorney fees in The
North Carolina case has been sub
mitted to the senate and referred
to a committee.
This morning, the "Drunkards'
Bill" as it is termed, passed the
senate and went to the council. 1t
is a move of the temperance advo-
Gates of the place and sweeping in
its provisions. A similar one
passed the council some time ago,
but owing TO the indefinite way il
defined the kind of crime drunk
eness was termed and the uncer-
tain manner of punishment pre-
scribed, il was defeated in the
senate, which now comes to the
rescue with a measure TO punish
drunkenness as crime against the
peace and dignity Of the Cherokee
nation. 1t provides that all per-
sons who shall be drunk at any
church, picnic, political or other
lawful gathering of the people
shall be deemed guilty Of mis-
demeanor and be fined in a sum
not less than five or over twenty
five dollars, or in default shall be
imprisoned thirty days. Commits
stoned officers are tc be deprived
of their Offices by the chief, and
members Of the council are to be
ousied of their seats.
Another act to compile the
laws was before the senate this
morning. The act repudiates what
was done, and wipes out to begin
anew what seems to have been the
intention Of the former law--to
compile, and not to originate
laws.
Tuesday morning, Dec. ii. The
"drunkards law" was amended in
the council by striking out the
penalty prescribed for officers and
members of the national council.
1t now applies to all alike and will
receive the chiefs approval, as
there can be no constitutional OBJ
jections to it, although some seem
to think the measure. an imprac-
ticable one.
The fight between the chief and
senate was expected to begin yes
terday in the nomination by him
and the confirmation by the senate,
Of delegates TO Washington and
members Of the two commissions
on citizenship Some seem to
think that an amicable understand
ing as to the division of spoils
between the two political parties,
one represented by the chief and
the other by a majority of the
senate, has been arrived at
but there are at present no
indications of such possible ar
rangements between them. If both
are equally stubborn as they were
last council, the commissions on
citizenship and the delegation will
go unprovided for. The fight will
begin to-day or tomorrow.
LATER-It is reported that the
"drunkard's" bill was killed af-
ter all.

CARD FROM CdPT. M,MEERIN,

MeSsrs. Editors: The letter of my
friend, Maj. T. w. Woodward, which,
through your kindness, recently 'ap-
pearcd in the columns of your interest
ing paper, was not intended by mo to
be published; but since ithas been, will
you kindly grant me small space to
bespoak for it, if any should deem it
worth notice, just and fair criticism?
| ain aware that, In tho present status
of the Farmers Movement, it is very
natural for others to closely watch
every stop, and perhaps be too promo
to interpret what is not SO intended,
as aptagonistic to them. A just inter-
probation Of my letter contains the re-
mark that it is not an attack on the
lawyers, but plain setting forth of a
state of affairs of which tho lawyers
are tho chief Instruments cheerfully
add, the able and honorable instru-
ments-upon who m the aforesaid letter
in no wise seeks to cast censure. I
would do violence to any own convic-
tions of right and justice, in making an
attack on them, that would convey, by
the faintest implication, the impress
sion that favored q movement that
would exclude them "root and branch"
from office, or would have as result
the inhibition to tho courts even to
consta'ue tho laws. Personally T OH
tertain only kind feelings for the
lawyers. I hatter myself have
some good and true friends among
them. AS class they are gentlemen
of ability, culture and refinement,
! worthy to participate in the offices and
the management of public affairs, and
| have no doubt will always do 80.
But it Is manifest, and to none, sus-
pect, moro clearly than to the lawyers
themselves, that our government is all
oligarchy. Hence as true patriots,
other class Of our citizens, it is conf
IDENTITY hoped, not only that they will
not oppose, but will freely give their
powerful aid to cure this evil.
Friend "Tenant" thinks it unfortu-
nate that used the expression, ga
government of the people, for the peo-
lDle, by the people,, etc., as the law
yeirs, will try, as he alleges, to make
our th''I it is inconsistent with the
tnlrteenth,A fourteenth and fifteenth
amehdmenhs an 10 the Constitution of the
a,pprehend ''T. ~, meaning. I am re-.
!uctant to accept the ,sstional deduction
from this language. ~ am correct.
however, T will attempt to reassu,w',
CT" by tho suggestion that if the
government Of the State by the Demo
cratic party is consistent with the
aforesaid amendments, then the Ian
guage of my letter, as quoted above, is
consistent with them also.
The furCher deduction that NAV DOS
sibly be drawn from "T.' language,
viz, that the lawyers will encourage
dissensions, and hold over us the |
menace of negro rule, if there is an
attempt to disturb the present oligar.
chy; or, in other words, that they will
ruin, if they cannot rule, ! reject as
unworthy OF consideration. If this Is
CT. g" meaning, let Inc assure him that
he does this most worthy class of our
citizens profound injustice. None will |
more vigoro usly oppose such an effort |
than they.

eur's Discoveries.
The history Of hydrophobia is that of
a malady, with which human skill has
heretofore been utterly powerless to
cope, The most learned physicians
have seen their most powerfel drugs and
appliances insufficient in the presence
of the potent poison, which pervades
the blood, racks the frame. thrills with
lndescribable pain the nervous system,
and crazes the intellect of the patient,
to whom the friends and physicians can
only give deep sympathy, whether he be
human or brute. The wonderful series
of observations, which have been con-
Quoted for many years by the French
physicist, Pastcur, and more recently
by many Others, who are free o acknowl-
edge their indebtedness to him. indicate
that remedy may perhaps have finally
been discovered. 1t twould be presumptu-
Gus almost to say, that Mons. Pasteur
can iniallibly arrest hydrophobia in
y
son to believe that he can do 50 il the
patient is taken in time. He has expert
mcnted largely with animals, and finds
that he can inoculatc them with virus
taken from the. spinal marrow Of rabid
dog, that by inoculaling other animals
| trahbits). with the virus of these. the
| period of incubation Of the disease was
shortened, and the violence of the SYM
| piomS decreased. and finally, after re-
pcating this many times. he obtained
virus which produced the disease in a
form which was not fatal, even to rabbits.
Moreover, he found that those animals
which had this mild form Of the disease,
could not be made rabid, though inocu-
lated with the powerful virus direct from
Il dog chat had died Of the malady. In
his experiments upon human subjects,
no one. so far as we know, who has
applied to him for treatment, has had
the disease.
No doubt some who have applied to
him We're ncelleSsly alarmed, but it
seems hardly possible but that some
have been shielded from the fatal results
Of the disease. still we should bear in
mind that rabies is a malady which is
often months, and possibly even years
in incubation, and that in great many
instances dogs are regarded as mad,
which rcallyarc not, and besides that
the disease is connected with the imaei-
nation and the nervous system, that no
doubt many people have died with some
symptoms and pains of hydrophobia,
after having been bitten by dogs which
were abundantly proved not to have
been mad at all.-Im. .1gricuitWiSt.
