REVENUE STATEMENT.
Two Years Receipts Amount
To $22, 2,6O5.O2..

AT last a statement has been is,
sued by the Indian agency giving
the receipts from royalties anc
revenues collected in the Cherokee
nation by that Office during the
two years il has undertaken the
collection OF these revenues.
II is remarkable statement
in that II gives the receipts for the
two years, but fails to give expenses
for but one year. We believe this
is the only statement ever issud by
the department on this subject and
lit would surely have been more
satisfactory to the Cherokee peo-
pie ifa iull statement for the two
years had been made.
It has the appearance Of a just
ifieation Of the interior depart
ment in its course iu their col.
lection. A little analysis of the
figures wilishow that tbe tax col.
lector has been of very little bene-
fit to the Cherokee people.
The receipts for the two years
amountto s22, 6O5.02, the expenses
last year amounted TO $5,833 Oh.
AS no figures were given on the
previous year, tits fair to assume
by the average reader that the
the same amount was expended
making the expenses fol the two
years S11, ,D66.02, leaving a balance
to the credit Of the Cherokee ma
ton Of $40, ,93e.O0. OF this amount
by Jadse aillls.decisiOns iaseyearl
there was unlawfglly collected $5,-
607 .65,. leaving lawfully collect
ed balance of So, 1852. .25.
Another item of receipts for last
year is $2,335.77 for board Of
pupils and teachers at the schools
of the nation. This amount was
collected blythe national treasurer,
for which the nation had allowed
him ten percent. All the trouble
it had caused the agency was the
acknowledgement of the draft for
the amount. 1t is fair to suppose,
as the agency does not enlighten
us on the subject, that a like
amount was paid the previous
year, as the treasurer then collect
ed same, and the Cherokee nation
paid the ten percent. This would
make total of receipts accounted
for s4,661.54, which cost the
agency nothing to collect, and
which hads already been paid for,
leaving a net balance to the Cher
okees Of $67O.71. To be deducted
from this is S299 So, balance
school fund turned in, which was
already the property and in the
possession of the Cherokee ration,
this leaving a balance to the
credit of the collectors of $371.18,
OF lawfully collected revenues Of
the Cherokee nation which had
not before been paid for.
How much unlawful merchan-
disc tax there was collected the
first year, we have no means Of
knowing, or how much school bal
lance was turned in. What ever
the amount was it reduces the
benefit of the collectors to the
Cherokee people just that much.

FRANKFORT, KY, March 81. The
fourth day of the examining trial of Re-
publican Secretary of State Caleb Pow
ers began with the courtroom cleared of
all people excepting attorneys, newspa.
per correspondents and officers of the
court. The court adjourned yesterday
10 meet ut O'Clock, but it was nearly 10
when Judge Moore called for order. The
attorneys for the defense held n consulta-
ton, and aftcrward called County At.
torney Polsgrove.
Immediately after the consultation
Governor Brown, for the defense, arose
and announced that no testimony would
be introduced for the defense and they
would waive further examination. The
pardon issued to Powers by Governor
Taylor was rendered by Ex-Governor
brown as n bar to the prosecution and
asked that the defendant be dismissed.
Colonel Campbell said that the COM
monwealth denied Governor Taylor's
right to lssuc pardon at the time the
pardon was granted. Governor Brown
moved that the prisoner DC dismissed
upon the evidence. The motion was
ovcrruled. Bail was asked for. Judge
Moore said:
1t Is not my belief that Powers fired
the shot which killed Governor Goebel,
but from the evidence it is my opinion
that he was connected with the con-
spnacy to kill him. l shall therefore
order that he DO held over without bail
to the Franklin county grand jury that
the case be investigated.
