4 FAAoUs Law SUIT ENDED.

law case that has been In the u. 8.
courts for fifty years has just been decided
at Washington, and . long history Of the
contest appears in the Critic. II seems
that in the year 1880 the Choctaw nation
ceded to the United States government 10,
600, 900 acres of land in Mississippi, but
reserved to such Choctaws as might desire
TO remain certain amount of land. Six
months we're given the Indians In which to
make their choice. Nearly 1000 families
expressed desire to remain. But of this
number but 15S received the title TO the land
from the government, as guaranteed by the
treaty. The government sold the remain
ing land. thus illegally acquired, and real
lied nearly 5000, 900. The Choctaws pro-
tested, but in vain. At last, in 1859, con-
gress passed an act appropriating ss7s. 900
for the payment Of the Choctaw claim.
This the Indians were forced to accept and
the money was paid over. In the following
year the suit was revived. and in 1859 and
in 1866 efforts were made to push the claim.
The literature of the case, which already
comprised many bound volumes and nearly
9 hundred pamphlets, was increased by
over five hundred pages Of briefs. 1t is es-
timated that the entire cost of the printed
record In the famous case has exceeded
$40. 600. At length . decision was rem
dered. 1t was favorable to the Choctaws,
but 1t awarded them only S4O0, 900. This
verdict was unsatisfactory to both parties
to the suit, and appeals were taken to the
court of the United States. Here
several postponements were secured, but
the case was finally argued at great length,
snd on Monday, November Is, 1886, .
judgment was rendered In favor of the
Nation for 90, 2,S5S 7ss. Among
the attorneys who have been employed by
the Choctaws have been Sergeant s. Prem
tiss and John B. Forester. General Albert
Pike. ex-Attorney General Jeremiah s.
Black, Matthew b. Carpenter. Shellabarger
& Wilson, General J. W. Denver, j. B.
Luce, Judge F. P. Cuppy, ]. J. Weed aud
Henry Mckee. For the last eighteen years
Mckee has had the active management Of
his claim, both In the courts and before
Mr.. Shellabarger, and his part
ner, Mr.. Wilson, have already received
$50, 900 as fees for their services before the
supreme court.

SUNDAY OBSERVANCE IN OHIO.

SUNDAY OBSERVANCE IN OHIO.
The Congregational association of Ohio
at its annual meeting, held In May. at Tall
madge, adopted the following:
This association views with great appre
hensi0n the increasing desecration of the
Sabbath in our country, whereby every
civil, social, religious and family interest
Is fundamentally imperiled, while large
portion Of even Christian sentiment remains
apathetic In the presence Of this great dan
ger. Therefore,
Resolved. That we urge greatly in
creased attention to this subject on the peri
OF pastors and people everywhere. and also
Of the religious press.
2. That the scripture law Of necessity
and mercy is the only justification of Sab
bath labor; that laboring people are enti-
tied to Sunday for rest and religious educa-
ton, and, therefore, unnecessary labor
should be discouraged by all proper means
and 90 far rs possible, abolished.
8. That we rejoice to learn that the Yes
sci Owners' Association has adopted res
0lution depreeating all loading and dis
charging of vessels on Sunday, and asking
all dock managers to refuse to handle
freight on that day; and we urge all
churches In lake ports to use every practic-
able means to induce all dock managers to
carry out this request, and thus release
large numbers of laboring men from most
severe Sabbath toll, which is both unneces-
sary and illegal.
4. That we appoint COMMITTEES of five
who shall consider the propriety Of calling
State Interdenominational Sunday Con-
vention, and, II. after correspondence and
consultation with other denominations, 1t Is
thought expedient to call such convention,
the committee is authorized to represent
this association La issuing the cali.
The following committee was appointed:
Rev. James Brand, d. D., of Oberlin;
Rev. Julian NJ. Sturtevant, d. D., Of
Cleveland; Rev. John A. Simpson, Of
Cincinnati; c. M. Nichols. of Springfield;
John G. w. Cowles, of Cleveland.
Ministers and laymen Of the several
denominations are invited to con-
fer with members of the committee to
whom they msy have access. and give their
Views as to the propriety of calling such q
As is proposed in the foregoing.

Superintendent j. A. Fillmore ex-
plains to a Cnll reporter for the IN
wonted number of accidents recently
occurring on the company's system, on
the ground that the press of business
has necessitated the employees, brake
men and engineers, working over hours.
They are tired. he said. aud cannot be
expected to exercise their accustomed
vigilance. Mr.. Fillmore denies posi-
lively that there is any probability of an
abandonment OF the present time SER
vice on the Central route. Under pres
ent circumstances, he says that there is
little use expecting the arrival of trains
on time, nv it is simply impossible to do
any better than is being done.

Storage Of silver Dollars.

Last Spring the Treasury department
began the construction of huge vault
for the storage of silver dollars. There
IL now a vault Of considerable size in
the basems Mt of the treasury building.
but AZ long ago M December last its ca
ptcity became practically exhausted.
Hundreds of visitors go down on the
elevators daily to gaze in open eyed
wonderInent at the cords of "cart-
wheels" piled up III mathematical
~ even rows. This vanlt is small COM
pared with the one now being construct
I'D. The new one will hold by careful
storage 1O5, 0OO, 900 silver dollars.
Large M this sum is. it is stated at
the treasury that there is nearly enough
silver now seeking storage to fill up the
new vault. It is in the court between
the four walls of the trea sury building.
1t is SO feet long. 81 feet wide. about Is
feet de p. and rises few feet only
above the ground. There are niue COM
l'''eO-SH' o0P"io1eu ny Hou ihttlCe
work partitions. and riveted together
with thousands Of iron bolts. Between
the compartments are arranged straight,
narrow aisles, with small doors opening
into the different sections. The neces-
sary gaslight will be stationed in thes :.
aisles. When the silver dollars are in
the vault the pressure is all upon the
floor. As the bags are so piled az not to
lean against the partitions. The great.
,st skill is required in piling the bugs,
as the least uneyenness might result in
upsetting the whole pile, and perhaps
causing them to fall outward upon the
visitors or employes.-[ Washington

We clip the following published by the
Rccord and ask every reader OF The
DEMOCRAT to ponder well the lines and
see where the truth Is:
EVERY local paper does it's town ten
times as much good as it is ever paId for.
Men having large interests il town and
deeply concerned as to its progress often
try to see how little they can do for their
own local papers. The papers Of the
Sou'h are to-day doing far more for the
good of their country than they receive
credit for. Day after day and week after
week they arc tel ing OF its advantages of
sci, climate AID minerals and OF its pro-
greSS. The facts which they give are
widely published IN other papers, and
thus the good work is carried far beyond
their immediate circle Of readers. The
N1nutdct,rers' Record has often noted
with admiration the great work that
Southern napers are d. Ing, and regretted
to see how poorly in many cases they
are supported by the people whose in
t:rvsts they are serving,
