MAYBE, THOUGH, IT'S WIT ~

In the event of the removal Of
the intruders by the U. S. Gov
ernment, as is stipulated in the
sale of the Strip, what will become
of the Muldrcw Register and In
dian Chieftain, aud also their ed
itors ? We suppose, though, the
Chieftain will Register some where
beyond the limits of the Cherokee
nation. and that the editor of the
Register will Hold-on until fired
across the Arkansaw line on the
patriotic toe of some Cherokee 5
boot. Advocate.
We are somewhat at a loss to
know what the/abOye reference to
THE CHIEFTAIN means. Why Mr..
II. NJ. Adair, the fresh and brainy
CD editor OF the Advocate, should
use the national organ as medi-
um through which to vent his
spleen upon Us in the face of the
law and without any provocation,
we are unable 70 even guess. We
have enjoyed the rights and i'm
munities of a citizen of this nation
for more than a dozen years and
was never called an intruder be-
fore, or had our rights questioned
in any way or by anybody until
that journalistic prodigy, Mr.. II.
VI. Adair, informs us Of the fact
through the columns of last week :
Advocate. THE CHIEFTAIY is
abundantly satisfied with the pat
ronage and endorsement it is re-
ceiving and is not dependent upon
an act of the national council for
its existence. If Mr.. Adair per.
sists in using the national news
paper as a forum Of personal abuse
and vilification, the law should be
enforced, which says, Nothing OF
an abusive, personal nor partisan
character shall be admitted into
its columns.

THE INVESTIGATION OF AN
IMPORTANT QUESTION.

demonstrated that the white
adopted citizens were endowed
with the sHme rights Of native
Cherokees by "A citation of his

! answer that he did not necessa-
rily have to buy right here in
order to possess one. The native
Cherokees were the original

STORY OF BUCK AND BALL.
"reminiscences of Senator Plumb
at Prairie Grove.

In the "reminiscences Of the late
Senator Plumb by a correspon-
dent of the Globe Democrat of last
Sunday, we notice a revival Of the
story of Buck and Ball" The
battle of Prairie Grove was fought
on the 9TH Of December, 1862,
twenty-nine years ago, and there
are men living all over this coun-
Try and northwest Arkansas who
fought in that memorable engage
ment-one Of the hardest fought
battles in the whole war. The
writer at that time was a small
boy living within a half mile Of
that battlefield, and remembers
with terrible distinctness how the
cannonading began just at the dawn
Of that December day, and together
with the rattle Of small arms con.
tinued until darkness put an end
to the struggle; the groaning Of
the dying and wounded, and the
shouts Of commanding officers, all
these incidents are as fresh in the
memory as though they bad hap
pcned only last year. But the
story as told by the late senator
tells Of the finding Of a country
newspaper outGt on Cane Hill near
the beautiful little village Of Boons-
boro, hid away among the hills Of
Washington county, Arkansas. 1t
bad been hauled over from Table
quah and slowed away in a Jog
cabin for safe keeping. Many :of
the types were Cherokee charac-
ters. Senator Plumb, being a
practical printer, and having in
his command Ex-Governor Sam'l
J Crawford who was also printer,
proposed to get out a newspap er,
the title Of which was Buck and
Ball" The name was short but
still enough large type could not
be found for the title, so somebody
whitfield out from a stick the SUBJ
stitutes. Enough type was found
to set up a six colum form and the
old press was tinkered into work
ing order. Quartermaster blanks
were used for blank paper, together
with some rolls Of wall paper, and
about 800 copies of Buck and
BALI were printed on one side.
'fEen word came that Hindman
was coming. Everything was
dropped and they at once went
into battle. The senator told oi
the fighting which ensuedi how in
the rush aud excitment he had
gathered up the half printed sheets
and rolled them into a bundle and
thrown them into an ambulance.
After the battle Of Prairie Grove,
Cane Hill was again reoccupied aud
the press and type picked out of
the mud and the other side of
"Buck and Ball" printed. The
paper was dated December the 9th,
1862.

THE NEWS FROM TAHLEQUAH
Not Much Accomplished by
Council "A Few Notes.

TAnLEoUArt, ]. r., Dec. 20, 'ol
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.
OTHER NOTES.
Chief Harris has been quite sick
with grippe for several days, but
is now improving.
Mrs. Lucy Trainor, widow OF
the late Thos. Trainor, died at her
residence here last Saturday OF
consumption, after a lingering
illness.
John Geottle, hack driver, was
kicked by horse Sunday, break.
ing his leg. The accident occur

and Fort Gibson, he being kicked

Several Christmas killings have
been reported here this week. AL

of Goingsnake district, was shot
and killed last Saturday by Bob

LATEST FROM TAHLEQUAH.

MI. M. Burlington, president of
the senate, from Delaware district,

were recommended and confirmed
as delegates to Washington to-day.
Judge R. f. Wyly was elected stew
ard of the Female seminary, sue

Gently. 1t is needless to say that a
party by the name Of Wolfe is not
at all pleased with the result, and
it is also intimated that there are
several other gentlemen who con-
slider the new chief failure when
IL comes TO making recommenda-
-tions for delegates. The selection
Of Judge Wyly is considered a
fortunsie one.

him with all the rights of an In.
dian. That is the idea expressed
10y the use of those words; either
one of those words standing alone
express that idea, but when YOU
use them i'm a connected sense. the
one as an adj ective to describe the
other the same idea is expressed
with emphasis in a double sense.
When a white man is adopted bv
a nation of Indians he becomes
one of them. When he is made a
citizen of nation he becomes one
of the nation, clothed with all the
rights of citizenship. Therefore,
when you use the terms adopted
citizen" there is no doubt of
your intention to convey TO him
all the rights of Il native Cherokee.
Then if you want the definition of
the rights Of an adopted citizen
you find it in the rights of native
Cherokee-they are the same.
Therefore, we conclude that
white man by adoption has all the
rights OF native Cherokee, inde-
pendent OF his wife But you say,
"lt was not the intention of our
naturalization laws to convey TO
the adopted citizen any right to the
soil or its proceeds" Then again
ans Wer, you were most unfortunate
in the use of the words "adopted
citizen " 20 express your intention
because that il the very idea that
these words do Express without
any forced construction oflanguage.
They convey not only a right to
the soil and it, proceeds but they
convey to him several rights that
his wife does not possess and c9a7
not exercise by virtue OF her ~,
tlvity-l mean the right to ,Sf/'
and hold office. Therefore, ISN
conclude That an adopied-Sn; -
has all The right of a CheEokeo
dependent OF his wife's rights "

ST. PAUL is bestirring itself to
secure the democratic national
convention next summer. As the
republicans thought it prudent
and good politics to call their con-
vention at Minneapolis, nine miles
distant, the democrats, it would
seem, could not do better than
hold theirs at st. Paul. The past
few years have seen the great
northwest transferred from the
"solid north" to the doubtful
column and considerations of this
kind should always, and generally
do, dictate the location of the con-
vention. Give the "other twin"
chance.
