back and refused to see the dan
gers that threatened the strip,
when he said we have no land to
sell and wanted that to end the
matter, these same papers came
boldly forward and plainly men,
tened the dangers that threaten
the country and advised The peo-
pie to make the best negotiations
possible and strengthen their hold
on the lands east Of ninety six.
More than that, the chief is be-
ginning TO see these things as these
mo good" papers see them.
Whether these papers are ''no
good" or not, THE CHIEFTAIN viii
stand up boldly for what it
thinks is right and will favor the
chief so long as it thinks he is
right, and no longer; but as for
hero-worship, that is impossible.
AS for Mr.. Bell, he can speak
for himself, as it is not the duty
and has not been the custom O.
this paper 20 espouse his cause.
Still il will say this: In the ap-
pointment of Col. Ross, Mr.. Bell
deserves 70 censure- Col. Ross
had the advantage over all the
other members in the senate in
education, knowledge of law and
history He had served his coun-
try for thirty years and Mr.. Bell
thought him the best man in the
senate for the position, 50 made
him chairman of the committee re-
gardless Of politics. However
nothing is said in favor of his ap-
pointment of Mr.. Wolfe.
As to Joshua Reynolds, the hus-
band, he is to be pitied. It is a
case of the blind leading the blind.
He thinks "Sallie" is always
right, and he has been tied to her
apron strings so long he thinks if
she bids him, he can command the
world to stand still or go back tc
the time when people bowed down
to power regardless of right and
wrong. Joshua Of old CON-
manded the sun to stand still and
it did so; but this modern Joshua
should not be so foolish as to think
he can stop honest thinking and
free speech.

TIE Cherokee delegation and
chief we're highly complimented
by the Delaware delegation on its
return from Washington last week.
Bushyhead has long been known
and esteemed in Washington and
now Mayes is making himself
known. As for the chief he does
not stand on ceremony, but goes
straight 10 the head of the depart
ment and talks plainly Of the rights
Of the Cherokees as set forth in the
treaties His influence is said to
be such that the Oklahoma bill VIII

ciusion is made regarding the
pending negotiations, and in the
negotiations at least two dollars

The Cincinnati tourist longs for
his native hill-tops. The New
Yorker is lost in establishment.
Washington is voted a dull town
on the Sabbath.
To him who is not lost 10 the
beauties of a May morning gra-
ciously given to windy March, the
suburbs and the road houses be-
yond offer some compensation.
The wheelmen know this and
while the majority of mankind
stop at home and grumble, they
are away over the hills, over roads
full of historic "reminiscences, to
Tenalytown, Bladensburg, or an
cient Alexandria, fast asleep be-
tween the sluggish Potomac and
the Virginia hills. 1t is nightfall
before these silent wheels again
strike the magnificent city streets,
bringing a thousand glimmsring
rows of lanterns, like msteors,
flashing through the shadows.
The citizen who goes abroad on
horseback, and he is generally ac-
companied by the citizeness, en-
joys the day and has the addition
al advantage of knowing that this
fad is in full fashion. There are
few cities in this country that con-
tain more good riders, perhaps
no city Of the same population.
The members of the foreign lega-
tons set the style, and the riding
academies have done yeoman SER
vice in developing the riding tai
ent that slumbered undeyelOped
in society.
What of the rest of mankind
and womankind who are no. de-
voted to an orthordox observance
of the day and who remain in
town2
They walk hard and long. Up
Connecticut avenue, out in George
town, about the hotels, down Penn
sylvania avenue, over on Capt.
tol hill, they wander like uneasy
spirits. Their chief summer
joys, going down the river on ex-
cursiOns and going up the river
rowing, are not yet open to them.
So they must needs walk.
And the character of the crowds
vary. Between lower Pennsyl-
vania avenue and Connecticut
avenue on a sunshiny winter af-
ternoOn there is the difference be-
tween wealth and poverty; the
difference between content and
misery; the difference between the
ins and cuts. About the down
town hotels is a large sprinkling
of shutting shabby gentility, con-
fident or abashed as the case may
be, but obviously shabby.

WASHINGTON LETrEK.

1 hAsufSGToS. ID L. MAI II. 1870.
The death of William Preston
Taulbee, ex-representative, sho
by Charles E. Kincaid, correspond
ent of the Louisville Times, make,
one OF the most distressing muir.
ders that Washington has known
in many years. The murderer i,
prostrated by the result of his &C
and in his frail health and excita.
bic temperament his physician:
fear that he will die before the
case can be tried. The feeling ol
Kentuckians here is much divided
One would suppose at first from
the newspaper accounts that SYM
pathy was all with Kincaid, but
now that it is established that be
pursued his man and shot him be-
fure he could turn, sympathy is
going tls other way.
Representative Henry Cabot
Lodge introduced his long talked
Of federal election bill in the house
Saturday. The bill has the essen
tial features of the Australian bal
lot system and provides for the
federal supervision of elections.
The system now in forcs in Mas
sachusetts is made applicable to
the entire country in congression-
al and presidential elections.
Each polling place is put in charge
of six judges or supervisors, three
representing each Political party.
Voters who cannot read or write
may have tickets marked by one
supervisor in the presence of an
other of the opposite party. Pri-
marily the elections are in control
of the states, but upon the petit
ton of five hundred voters in any
district the federal government
will take absolute control. On
this clause the fight will be long
and hot.
From the day the last excursion
boat on the Potomac ties up late
in the fall until the spring morn
ing when the whistles sound again,
the average Washingtonian, he of
limited resources and boundless
desires, on Sundays stays late in
bed. The Sabbath sun has look
ed scorRfully down the deserted
streets for good three hours, catch
ing only glimpses of an occasional
policeman or a belated rounder. an
early milkman or an enterprising
news boy, before the town gets up.
And whether he look out through
cracked window Panes or through
lace curtained French plate, the
citizen votes that it will be, like
all Sundays at the capital, a dull
day; that is he so votes if he be a
wo rldly citizen.
II has come to be locally a
prOverb that Washington is a dull
town on Sunday. The stray Wis
itor from New Orleans tells you
so with many..sighs for the matiEee
and the lake and the shell road.
The St. Louis man, bitter from
loss of the fair, endorses him.

MR. CoOHRAN's VIEWS.
No Great Regard Entertained for
the Negro.

Mr. EDIToR:-Ihe letter pub
lished in a recent number of the
Advocate over he signature OF
Judge J. A. Scales, of Canadian
district, is significant of a s.noth-
cred sentiment, which has ever
characterized the views of the
Cherokee people. What he says
in regard to the negro question is
in my opinion correct, and my
concurrence with his views, is not
of recent date, but an opinion
which l have entertained for many
years.
Ny experience in Cooweescoo-
wee politics compsls me to say
that he has fhe Gooseneck idea
"down fine" and the sooner the
stigma of this kind of bossism is
liberated, the better it will be for
ali.
What do the people think of the
convention held at Fort Gibson on
tbs 10th Of February last ? When
[ say people, / do not mean politi-
clans, l mean the people who hold
our nation intact; the people who
by their national and tribal uni
ty hold US a government, the like
of which is not to be found upon
earth. The people are the lone
power" which give Us significance
and at the same time knock the
"extinct and abandon the same"
into a cooked hat. Then if we
should, Cleopatra like, nurse the
asp, what viii be the consequence?
1t has been the pride of the Chsro-
kee nation to keep itself blood
pure: can they not also boast Of
being pure in heart as well {?
There has always been a lean
ing of both parties toward the ne
gro, not on account of his good
looks or his honesty but because
his vote counts one. Nov we
know the negro is a man and that
he has rights which should be
respected, but to take an undue ad-
vantage of him and nurse him
in the lap Of our posterity only to
be smote chip and thigh" by him,
when he has, through our political
policy joined the ascendency seems
to be even beyond our political
depravity. He has power-pas-
sive power-and iti increased by
our eagerness to gain his vote.
1 say let the negro show himself
to be a man, and not a thing calm
ly -eposing on the sunny side of
last chance waiting for a degenerat-
ed political boss to give him -"de
-four and bacon you done promised
de ole woman" We have given
them homes and educational IA
ciiities and to-day they are the
happiest people on Gods green
earth.
The problem of our colored
brethren is one which few have
in the right way, and |
believe when the people are awak-
ened to do the right thing by them
selves as well as the negro, they
will have learned a branch of po-
litical economy not taught in the
meager school of our own science
of politics. In regard to the Della
wares and Shawnees l will say
that they should be recognized as
our people as they are like our
selves, Indians, anda much abus-
ed people. Run from place to place.
