Mrs. Black burn said she used the

The Purcell papers are placing
all the blame Of their failure to
get court on Judge stuart. just
why they should blame that Official
for the action OF eongrss is more
than Our minds can divine. Judge
Stuart went to Washington to seek
some kind of judicial relief for the
entire Indian Territory, and not
to lobby for the establishment of
a court at Purcell. Judge Stuart
wants full jurisdiction for the ter
ritory courts, just as earnestly as
do the Topic and Register or their
people, but when he arrived on the
ground and fund that to bo i'm
possible of accomplishment, he did
what no or any other man having
the G od of the territory at heart
deemed bsst, went to work for a
division of the territory, the ap
pOintMent Of another Judge and
an increase of juris LECTION for
United States commissioners. A
sudden change to full Jurisdiction
would undoubtedly have been de-
feated which would have left us
in the same deplorable condition.
Judge Stuart saw this and know
ing that some kind of relief was de.
manded by the exigencies of the
times and the crowded c1nditiun
of the dockets asked for the change
which will undoubtedly be graat>
ed. Of Course Purcell is disap>
pain:ed, SO are we; but our disap>
pOintment is not of that kind
which influences US to maligH
the metivts of an honest, capable
and deserving Official. Judge
Stuart stands too far above re
preach for any attacks from the
Topic and Register to do him in
jury; their shafts Of malice will fa II
harmless at his feet.
