TAHLEQuAH, |. r.. Jan. 12.-The res
olution that passed the lower house of
the council withdrawing the impeach-
ment charges against Chief Harris, and
as the impeachment originated in the
house it is decision in favor of the
chief. The whole thing seems to have
hinged on the bonds, and as success
full sale has been effected it was in Or
der to withdraw the charges. The mer-
chants are happy over the long contest,
ana the prospects are that within few
weeks several million dollars will be
turned loose in the nation. 1t was re-
ported that the Chadick syndicate was
preparing protest against the trans
fer OF the bonds to Wilson e. Co., and
in case Chadick gets an injunction the
payment may he deferred for two or
three years. The lawyers are of the
opinion the bonds can be tied up for
that time. If such is the result and de-
cision is rendered in favor of Wilson 6,
Co., the Cherokee nation will lose the
interest that may accrue from this date
until decision is rendered. The mat
ter is serious one to the Cherokees.
