for Correction.
Indian Inspector Wright. to
whom are submitted all acts of the
Chickasaw legislature and by him
to the president for approval or
rejection, has returned to the Chick
asaw authorities two important acts
of the late extraordinary session of
the legislature. No objection is
raised as to the intention of the
bills, but defects in their construc-
ton render then useless even if
approved, hence their return for
correction. The measures referred
to are the ChikcaSaw Central rail
way bill, and a bill providing for
the payment of annulties. Ma
tiOnal Secretary Carter, speak
ing of the matter yester-
day, expressed the belief that the
Legislature at its first session would
readily cure the defects indicated
by the inspector, and that the ex-
ecutive's approval would immedi-
atelv follow.
