brown horse stolen some time ago. He
had not been gone long before he came
back branded on the shoulder and y on
the hip. He is IL very bad horse to jump
fences and this is the second time he has

at one uniform price, waiting for the
cultivation of the good land to give value
to the poor, and for the poorest to rise to
the value of the richest, was shown in
reference 70 private sales of all articles;
in the whole of which sales the price was
graduated to suit different qualities of
the same article. The heartless aud
misery policy of waiting for government
land to be enhanced in value by the
neighboring cultivation of private land
was denounced as unjust as well as
unWise.

THE CHEROKEES.
The Convention to Pass on Applicants For
Citizenship-Sitting at Tahlequah

Citizenship-Sitting at Tahlequah.
Special to the Gazette.
TAHLEQUAH, 1. t., Jan. 3O.-The
Cherokees not to be outdone at the late
council appropriated $40, 900 to build a
colored high school. The building COM
mittee are tomorrow to settle on the
place for the location of the building. 1t
is thought that it will be located near
this place as all other public institutions
care near the capitol. -
The main attraction now at TahleQuah
is the sitting of the convention of citizen
ship which is in full force. There are
about two thousand cases on the
docket claiming citizenship, scattered
from Maine to California, to be disposed
of by the court The commission last
year admitted about 1000 persons. A
right in the Cherokee nation with right to
lands free to citizenship, besides the 81 -
600 900 to be paid out at different times
per capita, which comes from the lease
of the Cherokee strip, makes Cherokee
citizenship well worth looking after for
all those in the states who have Cherokee
blood in their veins, and it seems they
are not slow to see it.

Oklahoma lands to the United States. 1t

want their council TO indorse their

is no doubt that the action of the delega-
ton will be concur ed in. They instructed
the delegation to make negotiations for
the disposal of that country. The other
tribes of the territory are kicking vehe-
mently against the action of tine Creeks IN
disposing of Oklahoma, but the Greeks
are short of funds and plead that they
are forced to it, as they must have more
money TO run their government and their
