Oyster Law Declared Void.

Judge John w. Malone, of the second
judicial circuit Of Florida, in the case Of
Edward Richardson, brought before him
at ApalachicOla, on habeas corpus in the
latter part of November, has rendered Il
decision declaring the local oyster law of
Franklin county, passed At the last ses-
sion of the legislature, unconstitutional
and void. Richardson was arrested by
the sheriff on two warrants issued by the
county judge, charging him with violat-
ing several provisions Of the oyster law
The Ruge Bros, of ApalachicOla, large
packers of oysters, believing that this
law, although local in character, would
interfere with tle business interests OF
all oystermen, and no protection what
ever to the oyster beds, came to the
assistance of said Edward Richardson az
well as in behalf of the oyster men in
general. The state was represented by
Hon. Geo. p. Rainey, of Tallahassee, and
the prisoner by Hon. H. c. Hicks, OF
Apalachicola, and w. A. Blount, of Pen
sacola. On the llth of this month the
court rendered the desisiOn declaring the
law unconstitutional and void.

SECRETARY GAGE REPLIES.

His AnsWsr to Resolutions Of IaQuiry
Recently Passed By Congress.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 11.-Secrstary
Gage has sent to congress his replies
to resolutions recently introduced in
tho senate by MI. Allen Of Nebraska
and id the house BY Mr.. Sulzer Of New
York. The text Of his reply, which is
an exhaustive exposition of the man
agement of.that branch of the treasury
finances under his administration rs-
lating to national bank depositories,
contains about 5000 words, which is
supplemented by special reports from
department officials relative to special.
inquiries in the resolutions, including,
copies of over 1000 letters on the sub.
ject under consideration. In summing
up his reply to the inquiries the score
tary says:
First-That the reason for utilizing
national banks as repositories for pub
lie moneys, as authorized by law, when
the receipts of the treasury were ex-
ceeding expenditures, has been to avoid
disturbance to business which the with.
drawal of large sums of money from
active circulation to the treasury vaults
must inevitably cause. The policy thus
pursued by me has been the established
policy of the government for many
years and a departure from it under
similar conditions would certainly
cause disastrous results.
Reason for LepositinE Funds.
Seconu-The reason for ~urecting the
internal revenue receipts into deposit
tory banks at this time is that the rev.
nue. are now largely exceeding dis
bursements from month to month and
seem likely to do 80 for an indefinite
time. This condition will be a menace
to the business world if assurance were
not given that this surplus would be
diverted from the treasury vaults to
public repositories where, while Sc
cure to the government, it would re-
main available to business use.
Third-The reason for directing all
of the internal revenue receipts to one
depository was that it Is more conven-
lent to first collect the receipts of the
numerous Offices into one place and to
make the desired distribution from it
than.to give new instructions daily to
113 collectors. The most convenient
agency t effect such distribution is a
bank which is a member Of New York
clearing house.
Fourth-The reason for selecting the
National City bank as such distributing
agent was that at the time the order
was issued it was one of but two banks
which had offered bonds sufficient to
oover the amount of the daily deposit.

Indians have expressed their willing

the present time is practically unde-

ment.
Mr.. j. B. Williams, the assessor of
that portion of Benson county in which
the reservation is located, that when he
enterek upon his duties of assessing on
the reservation he was surprised to find
the condition of affairs that existed.
There was next to nothing to assess.
The condition of the Indians was sim
ply wretched. Starvation was visible
on every hand and he expressed his opin.
ion that it this should happen to be a
severe winter there would be several
hundred of them that would perish.
The editor himself has lived in the
vicinity of the reservation for the last Il
years, during which time we have
crossed and recrossed the reserve q
great number of times, and during that
time we have watched the progress of
the Indians very closely. Only a fe y
months ago we happened to cross the
reserve it's entire length from west to
east, it was at the time of year when
things should have appeared at their
best, when the cultivation of the soil
should have given evidence of it's pro-
d~uctiveness. but instead of an evidence
of thrift being visible among the
natives there was the same appearance
of things that existed IA years before
when we made our first trip across.
