THOUGH the Constitution specially
provides that persons charged with or
fences in one State, shall, if found IN
another, be delivered on the reguisition
of the governor of the former to his
officers of Justice, Governor Roosevelt
of New York, who will soon take an
oath as Vice President to support the
Constitution, refuses peremptorily to
respect the requisition of the governor
of Texas, as Governor Mount has done
in respect to one from the governor OF
Kentucky. II all the Northern gov
ernors set the Constitution at defiance,
those of the South will soon learn the
trick and then the Union will be one 10
name only, and though men charged
with crimes in the South will not be
seized 10 the North and brought back by
Southern law officers, it is Dot unlikely
that Northern officers may come South
and arrest men from their section who
have found a refuge south of the Poto-

AS WAS naturally anticipated by all
intelligent men, the terms on which the
allies propose to cease numbering and
outrsging the people Of China and burn
ing their homes and devastating their
fields, are not acceptable to the govern
ment of that country, and, could not
we'll be, as among them are the destruc-
eion OF all the defenses ofits capital and
its occupation by foreign troops. From
q general view OF the present condition
of affairs In China, 1t seems that the
war now in progress there will be OF
indefinite duration, aud the foreign
trade of that unfortunate country be
destroyed, except that in war material.

his message to Congress, indicates that

She has many accomplishments; she
can appear to know you when she
does not, and not to know you when
she does, with equal facility; she can
see her daughter through a door or
not see her yard away, just as it
happens to be convenient; she can
discern a suitor's purpose in ten min

her daughter confesses to the pro-

SCHOOLS IN THE TERRITORY.

The metropolitan press, and sew
eral lingo papers in the Indian
Territory are trying to raise an
alarm about what they character
ize as the deplorable condition of
white people in the Indian coun-
try. II these papers are to be be-
lieved, at least 100000 white chill
dren are growing up in ignorance
and poverty here solely form the
negligence of congress in provid.
ing an annual appropriation for
school purposes. But the state
ments given out are at variance
with the facts. The white people
in the Cherokee nation are in a
much better condition every way
than are the masses in the states
from whence they come, and all
this cry for congressional aid
comes from the army of politicians
and office holders, with which the
country is greatly overstocked.
There is no more thrifty and inde-
pendant class of farmers anywhere
than are to be found in the terri
tory, and throughout the country
will be found neighborhood schools
whore both white and Indian chill
dren attend as regular and as gem
orally as they do in the states. All
the towns have schools and have
had all along.
The school facilities in our own s
city are fair sample of what may
be found in other towns. We have
a graded public school attended
by about 400 pupils, absolutely :
free to every resident of the town !
