Two PERSONS KILLED.-A dis
patch from ParLersburg, Sept goth,
to the Wheeling Register, states that
terrible accident occurred about
thirty miles below Parkersburg, on
the Ohio River Railroad, on the
evening of the 10Th inst, between
and 6 o'clock, in which two peo-
pie lost their lives. As the train
which was coming north with the
President, Paymaster and other of
ficials of the road on board, about
5 or o'clock, they struck buck
board containing three people at
crossing near Sherman. The buck
board was struck about the centre
and knocked into kindling wood,
and two of the occupants, Mr.. Lew
is Parker, well-to-do farmer, and
his sister were killed, while the
third occupant, who was sitting on
the end of the blackboard, jumped
off and escaped with slight injuries.
Mr.. Parker and his sister were car
ried on the pilot OF the engine
across the bridge trestle work be-
fore they fell off. Both of them
we're terribly crushed, and when
picked up life was extinct. The
bodies were taken back on the train
to Sherman and left at the station
and their family sent for.
The horses attached to the buck
board escaped without a scratch.
Sherman lies close to a curve in the
road, in such position that trains
coming north can not be heard un-
til close up to the station, aud as the
pay train was running off regular
passenger time, probably the peo-
pie who were killed did not know
of the train. The affair is deeply
felt and regretted by the officials,
but no blame can be attached to
them.

TAnLEQuAH, l. t., Dec ~, vi.
After adjourning over Christmas
council again convened yesterday
afternoon to finish up the necessary
work yet on hand This work is
the appointment Of steward for
the female seminary, finish max
ing the appropriations and to rat
iiy or reject the recent sale Of the
Strip, made by the Cherokee and
United States commissioners. This
last named work was the first
thing taken up on convening yes
terday, but after considerable dis
cussion it was laid over until all
the articles Of agreement could be
printed in the Cherokee language
and distributed among the mem
bers. While the trade is generally
approved here, there is quite a
sentiment in favor Of amending it
so that it will be optional with the
citizens of the Cherokee nation
whether they take their pro rata
share Of the money to be received
or a pro rata Of the Strip and do
as they please with it. However,
it is pretty generally believed
that the trade as it now stands
will be ratified and sent to con-
gress for its approval,

THE INVESTIGATION OF AN
IMPORTANT QUESTION.

In my last article on citizenship
| demonstrated that the white
adopted citizens were endowed
with The same rights Of native
Cherokecs by citation Of his
vested rights and a regular course
of reasoning that cannot be gain
said or refuted, but | ann met at
the very outset with what is gen
orally considered conclusive
argument against his right to the
soil and its proceeds and that is
that he has bought no right here
and. therefore. is entitled to none
| answer that he did not necessa-
lilly have to buy right here i'm
order to possess one. The native
Cherokees Were the original
owners of the soil and they could
invest him with a right without
purchase or consideration if they
saw proper and his right would be
the same as if purchased for val
liable considerations The fact OF
its being gratultous would not in
the least impair The right, nor
could you on this account assume
to divest him of it. When citizen
ship is once conferred it cannot be
taken away at the pleasure # the
donor 1t requires some act on
the part OF the citizen to divest
him of this right The conditions
of citizenship are laid down in
your naturalization laws and when
they are complied with this makes
white man citizen of the Ghero-
kee nation and an Indian in a legal
sense and confers all the rights of
"a native Cherokee with the cXcep
tions noted. But YOU say it was
not the intention of our naturaliz-
alton laws to convey to the adop
ted citizen any right to the soil or
its proceeds. other than that pos
sessed by his VILE If this was
the intention of the trainers of the
law they were most unfortunate in .
the use of words to express their F.
intention. They could have done .
this by simply giving him the right |
of continued residence without a
permit, but when you use the term |
adopted citizen to express the re-
suit of compliance with your /
naturalization laws we conclude at |
once that YOU intended to make 1
him an Indian in law and invest
