CHIEF MAYES' ANSWER.


CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-A special from Table
quah, Ind. T., says: Chief Mayes' long-ex-
pected answer has finally been given to the
Cherokee commission. 1t is voluminous doc
ument, the burden of which is discussion of
the title to the outlet. Mayes says he regrets
that the commissioners proposition made no
aliuslon to the legal status OF the lands IN ques
ton and that more than one point in the offer
either has no legal ground TO support it or else
the commissioners had deemed best not to re-
fer to these grounds. He says that the ter m
outlet is used unadyisedly by the commits
sioners and that all the patent lands of the
Cherokees are known by both the Cherokee
people and by the United States treaties as the
Cherokee country" sMayes says he would
like to have a proposition from the commits
sioners
THAT THE PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND.
He says the Cherokee constitution declares
that the lands OF the Cherokees shall remain
people should desire to cede a part of their
lands an amendment to the Cherokee constitu-
tion would be necessary. Tue commissioners
proposition will be submitted to the council at
Its session in November next. He says that
matters would not be hastened by calling the
council in extra session at this time, as no ac-
ton could be possibly had until the council
following the general election in August. 1881.
In conclusion he says the Cherokee people take
ii for granted that Congress will not legislate
against the Cherokees in the interest of citizens
who desire to despoil them OF their rights, and
the Cherokee people trust that their weakness
as people will not encourage the power of the
United States to enact legislation looking to that
end. The reply Of the commissioners to Chief
Mayes goes over the ground covered in the
original letter and states the position of the
government more fully.

The controversy that has stirred naval circles
TO some depth as to whether or not the new
battleship Texas, now building at Norfolk, will

been settled by the issue of an advertisement

armor OF that vessel The head Of the bureau
OF construction and repair has always held that
the plans were faulty, and that the ship, il
built according to them, would sink below the
proper level, while Constructor Bolles in charge
Of the work of building, has adhered to be-
lief that the plans are all right. The general
opinion is that by issuing this advertisement
the Secretary intends to show that he concurs
In the opinion OF the constructor. The bids

that this day should have been more

expected that the 30th of May will bc

memoration Of those who fell in the

that IL is more worthy OF remembrance
than was last Tuesday? The birth of a
successful government is certainly of
