The situation a Havana, result

IT now transpires that w. ].
Watts ct al were never admitted tC
citizenship in the Cherokee nation,
Notwithstanding the plea that has
been made before the Dawes COM
mission, the courts and the con.
gressional committees at Washing
ton. From the records in the case
it is shown concluslvely that Judge
Vann only recommended the Watts
case TO the favorable consideration
of the Cherokee council, and thai
he was aiterward rejected. The
application for a new nearing
brought out several facts very det-
rimental to the Wattses.

The impression that has gone
abroad that Judge Thomas ha:
promised his support TO the Cher
okee authorities in the enforce.
ment of law other than the federal
statues, is evidently a mistake
Judge Thomas has made no such
statement from the bench. and the
public in this vicinity ought tO
know him well enough by this
time, to know that he would make
no statements ION the side" that
would not be consistent with his ut
terances from the bench. Judge
Thomas has the courage of his
convictions, and what he says al
ways carries with 1t the weight of
mature thought, and it is idle TO
insinuate that he has views
touching public matters which he
dare not promulgate from the
bench. Those who desire the pro-
lection of Cherokee rights will find
a kind and reasonable friend aud
helper in Judge Thomas, both in
the capacity of court and also as
private citizen. 1t should stand
TO reason that if the sheriff of
CooweescOowee district desires TO
eject the claimants from improve
ments sold by him, that ii must be
done by due process of law The
laws of the United States extended
over this Indian country are for
the benefit of all classes alike, both
citizens of the tribes and citizens
of the United States. It's useless
to get impatient at the necessary,
and what seems to b5 inevitable
delays attendant upon the ousting
Of the rejected claimants. 1t is
virtually sure that the rights of the
Cherokees are in a fair way to be
fully protected, and the trend of
every public decision of the courts
here has undoubtedly been favor
able TO the Indians. 1t is TO be
earnestly hoped that nothing will
be done or said that will in any
degree forfeit the respect, or betray
the confidence of the courts of the
country toward the Indian citizen
of the country.

The sentiment of patriotism is
one of the strongest of all human
propensities. The love of country
that reposes in every human breast
in some degree. is one of the
many strange phenomena of hu-
man existence. A few days age
when the news was flashed over
the wires that the battleship
Maine had been blown up in
Havana harbor, a thrill of patriot
ism swept the country from one
end to the other, and an army of a
million armed men ready to meet
death if necessary in defense of
the nation could have been enlist
ed in twenty four hours.

The Fort Gibson Post last week
printed an eight page edition with

in historical matter well worth
preserving. The value Of such a

of ten thousand copies Of it TO send

ABOUT one hundred and sixty
six years ago a very remarkable
individual was born-his name
was George Washington. He en-
joyed the distinction of being first
in war, first in peace and first in
the hearts of his countrymen. He
was a great general and was twice
president of the United States, be-
ing the first man to fill that honor
able position. But the most re-
markable thing about the man was
he never told lie in his life. In
this particular, so far as our knowl-
edge goes, he had, and still has,
the entire field 10 himself, having
never had a competitor.

Latest Washington News.

The Indian appropriation bill has
passed the senate and will now 90
into conference for final agreement
of the two houses. The amend
ments added to the bill by the SEN
ate make it OF special importance
to Indian Territory people. 1t
carries amendments providing for
the reorganization of the Dawes
commission; a revision of the tri-
bal rolls; allowing rejected citizen
ship claimants to appeal to the
court of appeals of the territory
and thence to the supreme court OF
the United States; and authorizing
suits in the court of claims against
the Greek nation, by the holders
of warrants, payment of which was
refused by the secretary of the In
teriCr. The house Indian affairs
committee considered and acted on
these amendments at its Thurs
days meeting. In the other sem
ate amendments the house voted
to formally nOnconcur, but the
com nittee, it is understood, are in
favor of accepting the senate amend
ment providing for a revision of
the tribal rolls, by the Dawes COM
mission. The formal nonconcur-
ence was voted that the bill, with
the amendments, might be taken
from the hands of the regular COM
mittee and placed in the hands of
the conference committee. The
conferees on the part of the house
will likely be Messrs. Sherman,
Curtis and Little 1t is not certain
who will represent the senate on
the committee.
Latest advices from Washington
indicate the Curtis bill is about
complete, having passed through
the committees of both houses of
congress. The amendment provid-
ing for empowering the railroads
to bring suit to determine their
rights to land grants in the terri
tory was lost. The Cherokee town.
site laws are not to be recognized.
The l57. 900 acres of land claimed
by the Delawares is to be set aside
pending judicial settlement of that
question. The proposition now is
to allow all claimants to appeal to
the court OF appeals at St. Louis,
but not to go to the supreme court.
The Cherokees are preparing to
test the constitutiOnality of the law
abolishing tribal courts, and have
employed council for that purpose.
The Curtis dill will in all proba-
bility become a law in some shape.

This November 5, 1874.
(Signed) JOHN S. NANN,


Mr.. Watts in his testimony
above quoted explains that there
was some change in the body OF
the certificate as to whether it was
1871 o. 1872. 1t could not have
been 1871. That was an error be-
cause Watts had not emigrated to
the Cherokee nation at thet time.
The date of 1872 is evidently cor
rect. 1t is possible that there may
be error in the month, and there
may be error as to Fort Gibson, but
this is the only paper in existence
signed by Judge Vann in reference
his action in the premises. If it
Is good for anything it goes TO
show that he did not admit Watts
to citizenship when he was au
thorized to admit North Carolina
Cherokees to citizenship in the
Cherokee nation. Therefore sum
ming up the evidence in the rec
ord as to whether the applicants
in this case were admitted to citi-

affidavit of the claimant, w. J

THURSDAYS STORM.

The heavy rains of Thursday after
noon and evening played havoc with
the corn and did much damage to
property in the northern part of the
county. At Beverly the water came
down in torrents. The storm seemed
to go across the country through the
Little Muskingum district and north
to Cambridge. The c. & M. train due
here at 7:05 was compelled to run
through two feet of water at Warren
creek, near Dudley. Constable Hupp
of Caldwell, was in the city Friday and
said that the water rose to the depth
of several inches in his house near
Caldwell. A large amount of drift
came out of Duck Creek and Little
Muskingum.

SUICIDE.
Unknown Man and Woman, Clasped
in Each Others Arms, Killed
by the o. R. Ry.

The southbound O. r. Ry. train
which arrives at Williamstown at
9:33 a. m. ran over and killed man
and woman at Glendale, a small sta
tion above Moundsville, W. Va, Fri
day morning. They were p oorly
clothed and from general appearances
had been on the dark side of life.
The names of the unfortunates have
not as yet been ascertained, but they
were evidently tramps.
They certainly committed suicide,
as beyond all uoubt they walked delib-
erately upon the track and, clasped in
each others arms, they faced the on
coming train with apparent fearless
ness. The engineer sounded his
whistle several times and from several
witnesses who stood near it is stated
they heard the danger signals.
The bodies were taken to Wheeling
where they will be held as long as
possible to await identification.

The Only Remaining Comeback" is
Gone.

The exit of the old "Camelback" en-
gines has been made at last. The

last.
No. 92 was one of the oldest of it's
KIND, having been built in 1851 and
seen constant service up to five years
ago. Never during all its service
had it killed a man, although it had
participated in over dozen good sized
wrecks. Whether this engine was one
of those taken overland from Martins
burg to a southern railroad during the
war, is not known, but one thing is
certain, it was in use then and very
likely was one of the engines with a
war history. One thing is sure, it has
