SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY %.

TIE WASHINGTON Star of yesterday eays
the President, accompanied by Secretary
Fsirchild, took walk in that city the even
ing before, the first time since ne ca1ne
there and that hs was followed all the way
hv a nsrson who looked like detective.
In the e.rlier and better days CT the coun-
,rv it's Presidents walked obout the streets
of Washington like any other resident OF
the city, and there is no good reason Why
i, shouldn't be the same way now. Ii the
fact that crazy man shot President Gar.
Gsd at q railway depot in Washington be
sufficient to deter his successors from walk
ing about the streets of that city, then the
other fact that another crazy man murdered
lawyer Kennedy when leaving his office
there short time ago, ought to keep allth
remaining lawyers there within doors. a
man who wants to kill a President can do
30 iust as we'll within, as without ths pre-
nets of the White House. If the state
ment that ON his walk the President was
guarded by detective be true, an Injurious
imputation has been cast upon the character
of tie people OF this country By their Chief
magistrate. In a republic the chief execu-
tive officer, the man elected by majority
of the votes of his fellow citizens, should be
ssf.r in the hands of the people than in those
of hired guards.

The Choctaws and Their Claims.

AToKA, 1. T., Jan. 2S.-Tne Choctaws are
greatly exercised over their net proceed
claim against the United States government
for property which had to be abandoned in
Mississippi and Alabama. when they were
removed West. This property consisted Of
improvements, houses, fences, ETC., on the
lands sold to the government and Tor which
the government pledged in the treaty they
should be paid. 1t has never been paid,
and now amounts to the round sum OF
100000. 1t has been allowed by Congress
two or three times and also by the U. s.
Court of Claims. About half of it is pledged
to lawyers and other middlemen. The last
Choctaw council passed some kind of legis-
ation obnoxious to these attorneys and they
are now obstructing any measure in Con-
gross appropriatiDg money for these claims
A called session Of the council was held in
November to compromise the affair with the
attorneys, but failed to effect anything. The
net proceed money will hardly reach the In
dams this year. There is talk of another
called session of the council to adjust this
matter.

A VETo.-Governor Lee has returned to

bill to permit tax payers who have rendered

ers. His objections are:
First. The relief granted applies to those
persons who may hereafter tender coupons
for taxes as well as to those who have here
tofore made such tender; and as there are
but TWO terms of the Circuit Court per an
nun the privilege granted of paying county
treasurefs after tender of coupons will be In
many cases to grant six months time to with
draw the same, mourning but tritiiDg costs,
thus Offering az inducement to tender.
Second. The bill seeks to make the tax.

to the Auditor of Public Accounts, who shall
then open an account with the treasurer,
&c. AS many Taxpayers will never send
counts will be open for an indefinite period.
concise, clear and comprehensive, both in
providing for the collection OF the tax, and
the settlement and closing up the accounts
of the officers.
Third. very large portion of the ten
ders which have been made were for taxes
of 1885, and there is now due upon such
taxes more than years interest. This bill
relieves the parties who made the tenders
from payment of this interest.
These are some of the reasons which in-
duce me to send the bill back to the Senate
without my signature.

RICHMOND, Va. Jan. 27.-The sub.com.
mittee of the House Committee on Privile
ges and Electone, appointed to take evil
dence in the McClintic contested election
case and prepare report to the committee,
will hold meeting tomorrow, at which
time it is expected that they will agree up
on a report. The impression is that the
subcommittee will report that McClintic is
ot an actual resident of the district COM
prising the counties of Allegheny, Bath and
Highland, but Judge Bristow, the republi-
can member OF the sub committee, said to.
day that he did not think that such a report
would be made The Judge, however, had
not had any consultation with Mr.. Moore, Of
Pulaski, and Dr. Simpson, of Fairfax. The
evidence taken reduced to few words is
simply this McClintic is first in Botetourt
then in the Bath district and then in West
Virginia. He had a domicle at one time
and now claims his home in Bath, where he
rents room, but does not stay there much
more than he does in West Virginia and
Botetourt. A fact In McClintic's favor is
this: He once was legal resident of Bath,
and the burden of proof must, so the law
yers say, st upon the State to locate Nc
Clintic's residence somewhere outside of the
Bath district. This, as far as can see, has
not been done.
The subcommittee to go to Lexington to
investigate matters in connection with the
Virginia Military Institute will probably
leave next Monday or Tuesday. The SEN
ate unanimously agreed to the House Joint
resolution directing the investigation, and it
is probably that Mr.. Pollard, of King and
Queen. will be made chairman of the COM
mittee. 1t is understood that in the last an.
nual report of Gen. 7. T. Munford, of Lynch
burg. president of the Board of Visitors of
the V. NJ. l., there are certain reflections
made upon Gen. Smith, the superintendent,
and the latter demands thorough investi.
cation.
There were some Alexandria people here
today who expressed opposition to the
amendment proposed by Delegate Corbett
to the Mount Vernon Avenue bill. The
amendment proposes subscription instead Of
donation. It is q Senate bill and now stands
in the House with Mr.. Corbett's amend
ment agreed to.

IL sent him, the Senator. The correspond
emit replied it was unpr0fessional TO reveal
sources of information, and asked 10 return
if the report was not correct. The Senator
laughlngly replied that he could not deny
it. The Senator said he understood that
some Of the republicans of his State who had
signed the recent request to the national re-.
publican committee to recognize Gen. Ma
hone as the head and front of the republican
party of Virginia we're now sorry they did
so. He also said that General Malone had
taken hold of the republican lesgue of his
State, as ne would Of the Rschabites, Sons
of Jonadab, or any other organization he
might think could be manipulated to his
own interest. He also said he did not think
the Malone management could get any
mittee for the next national campaign,
out that if it did the money could
not be used TO make converts, as the
party had been so corrupted by that
management that all received would
be required to keep the old members in
line. Good management. he said, would
have done away with the necessity for
money, as the gratitude of the negroes for
their freedom would have been sufficient to
make them support the republican party.

The VIRGINIA legislature wants the In
ternal revenue system abolished, because,
among other reasons. of the hsrdships in
filcted by the operation of that system upon
the whisky and brandy makers ofthe State,
being too short sighted to see that if the tax
be removed from whisky the only induce.
ment for moonsbining would be removed,
as the large distllerles in the West could
then afford to sell whisky 30 cheap that the
market of all small competitors would be
utterly destroyed.
