TIE PENfTENTMRY LEASING SYSTEM

Speaking of the discussion oil
the penilentiary leasing system in
the Constitutional Convention, on
The 81 inst, the Memphis Appeal
says:
Judge Morris, of Wayne, again
very eloquently inveighed against
the lease system, and had much 10
say OF The treatment OF negroes
generally, a poor, ignorant race
who were at The mercy of this
great State. He spoke touchingly
Ot the old slave days, and man
aged adroitly TO say something
wonderfully gallant about the
good ladies OF Jackson, who had
10 see these striped prisoners
every day. AS the gallery was
crowded with fair representatives.
the aptness Of his remarks, even
before he had finished his elegant
phrases was almost lost in a thun-
der Of applause. a demonstration
in which the ladies' smiled and
and otherwise showed their ap.
prevail.
Judge Morris is one OF The nota-
bic figures OF theConyenIion; when
he speaks he is listened 10 with
alert attention and invariably with
applase.
Judge Morris is always found on
the right side of every question of
interest to his people.

Gated in the vicinity of POplarville,

and Mark Lowe. The sheriff of
Marion county was notified, and
in company with those gentlemen
tracked the accused, and arrested
hlm three miles south of Poplar
vile. At The time of his arrest he
was heading this way, and sail he
was disposed 10 give himself up,
but had received such conflicting
advice he did not know what to do.
lie came peacefully with The of

cheerful under the circumstances.
The m%iricaeies of the Iiney woods
and the large number of relatives
and friends of young BreIand is a
good reason why The officers of The
law have not captured him before.
The preliminary Trial will be held
on Monday before Justices of The

On prominent eminence in the prai~
rie overlooking the town of Tahlequah
has been SO itary grave for sixteen
years 1t con tained the remains OF
Mary Downing, the wife Of a full blood
Cherokee Chief, Lewis Downing AT the
time of her death the place was hef
homo, and it was her dying rsquest thas
she should be buried on the summit Of
the hill. Since then the property has
passed into strange hands, and the grave
has been in the midst of corn field
The present owner, gentleman FROM
Georgia, hearing that she was Chiefs
wife, thought it was due her to rest in q
more sacred place. SO her remains were
exhun1ed and taken to the Tahlequah
cemetery. Her maiden name was Mary
Aver. She was born in Bethlehem, Pa,
was highly educated and accomplished
and woman of wealth. She had very
romant IDEAS and her infatuation for
Indians was extreme. In 1865 Chief
Lewis Downing was sent to Washington
on business for the Cnerokees. Though
full-blood, he spoke English quite
we'll While at Washington he had Oe-
casion to visit Bethlehem, and accf-
dentally met Miss Aver. who fell des-
perately in love with him The CHIEF
fingered longer in Bethlehem than hss
had intended, not being able TO
tear himself away from the charms
of so fair a lady, and ere his de-
parture had won her consent to be-
s bride and share place in his
wigwam. 1t was agreed between the
two that she would follow him to-
the Territory, and be married at the
capital She required six months to-
dispose Of her property and convert her
valuables into cash. Chief Downing re-
turned to his nation and with him ID
proved tout OF ght out of mind" The
ardor of his love for Miss Aver SOON
cooled and he wrote her Withdrawing
his engagement
She, after reading his letter. remarked
that 1T took two to make a contract
and two to break it, and so wrote him.
Before this letter reached the Chief hei
had married dusky maiden of his own
tribe. Miss Aver having gotten every
thing in readiness started for the Terri
tory. According to contract she arrived
at Tahlequah, and on hearing of his
marriage made up her mind to make
her home among his people, devoting
her life to their advancement. Years
elapsed and the Chiefs wife died. Miss
Aver being still single. he renewed his,
broken vows and was again accepted
They were married and went to the
home she had built The life she had
long dreamed Of was realized, but not
long was she permitted to fill his house
with | ght and love ere death claimed
her. On her death bed she told the
Chief that on the third evening after
her burial she would return to him at
her home. But he, inheriting the SUI
perstition of his race, closed the house
after the funeral and returned to his
home, about thirty miles distant, ON
