Smathers (Uvea "The Citizen" a Bltxarr of an Interest ing Ctwtj fleet lnT Lands la Swain and Jackson Counties. Geo. II. Smathers, eq.,ol Waynetville, while here Friday night gave The Citi zen a brief history of a verv important case and one that it of general interest' in Western North Carolina, altbongb it it probably understood thoroughly by very few people. The suit referred to is that involving tbe Indian landt in Swain and Jackson counties. Mr. Smathers was commissioned by Attorney General Miller at a special astittant to tbe United States attorney for the Western district of North Carolina to take charge of this litigation of tbe Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, prosecuted for and in behalf ot the Indians bv tbe United States against about 100 trespassers, who occupy and claim the land adversely to the Indians. The principal portion of this land is known as tbe Qualla Dounaary, situated on soco creek in Jackson and Ocona Lnfty in Swain, and the tract contains about 75.000 acres. Tbis boundary, Mr. Smatbert says, was awarded to tne mourns in 187 by Kn fus Barringer, John H. Dillard and Thos. Kumn, arbitrators in a suit entitled "The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indiana vs. Wm. H. Thomas and others." At the time of the award the arbitrators found that Thomas, who was a former agent of the Indians had contracted to purchase tor them the Uualla boundary and bad extinguished tbe title of all white persons within tbe boundary, with the exception of one tract of 340 acres, known as tbe Ute bnerrill tract, but that the Indians were due Thomas the sum of about $18,250 lor the purchase of this boundary, ibis sum was afterwards paidtoTbomas by the United States ont of funds belonging to tbe Indians and a deed was made in accord with aaid award which was made a decree of court. Mr. Smatbert states that at the time of tbe award the title papers to the Qulla boundary were olHced in the hands ut tne o tticers oi the united States in charge ot the litigation, who suffered tbe papers, tor more than ball tbe boundary, in point of acreage, to become scattered, lost and destroyed without registration, There are now 50 or 60 white and col ored families living within the boundary, most of wbom obtained grants from tbe State. Tbe case of tbe United States vs. W.H. Thomas and others waa brought by tbe United States in tbe United States Circuit court for the Western district of North Carolina during the year 1888, to carry into effect tbe award made in tbe lormer litigation and to remove the de fendants, alleged trespassers, who bad entered upon tbe boundary after the award or the same. I be great dimculty, says Mr. Smatbert, in the successful prosecution of this litigation by tbe United Stales, was that it would be very expensive and difficult to set up tbe lost title papers. Considering all this he con cluded, alter a thorough investigation of tbe matters involved in the litigation, that it would be best lor tbe government to compromise. He accordingly has made a recommendation of compromise to tbe Attorney uenerai, wnicn recom mendation has met with tbe tatter's ap proval, and terms of compromise entered into. A recommendation will be made bv tbe Attorney General to Congress in about a week requesting tne appropria tion ol about l)8,UUU to carry the com promise into effect. "Why sboulii congress make au ap propriation to extinguish the title of the whites in tbe (Qualla boundary, Mr. Smathers was asked. "For the reason' be replied, "that tbe former suit was brought by an act of Congress and was carried on undei tbe supervision of the Department of Justice, the united states used money ot tbe In dians in carrying into effect the award and decree made in the former suit, and it was by the negligence ol tbe olhcials of tbe government that the title papers to the land now occupied by the wbites were lost and. destroyed. 1-or these reasons it appears to me it is only just and a duty incumbent upon tbe United States to either secure to tbe Indians good title to all the land awarded to tbem or give them an equivalent in cash tor the value ot tbe laud. The defend ants claim that tbey were not parties to the suit in which the award and decree ol land to the Indians were made and that tbey are not bound by it; that if Tbomas bad a title to tbe land at tbe date ot the award, no title papers have been registered, and they had reason to believe tbe lands were vacant, and tbev entered and procured grants from tbe State, and thtt tbey ought not now to le evicted without compensa tion. Tbis is the contention of all the dclendants in tbe Qualla boundary except those representing the 33,000 acres in litigation witn tbe lames K Love estate. These contend that Tbomas had no title to the 33,000 acres, and besides, that by a pr- per construction of tbe award tbe ad.OOO acres would not be included in tbe boundary as per the survey and need made in supposed pur sunncc of tbe award." II Congress makes the appropriation to carry the compromise into effect about $40,000 of the money appro printed will be paid to tbe Love estate and the remainder will go the numerous families who occupy land near the Cher okee Training school. The terms of compromise are on a basis of three- lour t lis tne vaiuc oi tue iano neiu ov tne trespassers. Mr Smathers thinks there arc few cases involving so mnny complications, both in questions oi tact and ol law, as does tbis one. ric win return to Wash ington in about a week on business con netted with the case. Mr. Smathers says there is a big fight in the Interior department at to whether the department bat control ot tbe landed estate of tbe Indians. It will be decided In about two weeks by Judge Hall assistant attorney general of the Interior department. One Idea of a "Joke." Rev. J. S. Morrow, pastor of Bethany Presbyterian church, asks The Citizen to say tbat he was the author of the ad vertiaement in a recent istue of the Busi nest Enterprise, wherein two teachers In the Catholic Hill colored school asked for correspondents, with a view to matri mony. Mr. Morrow says tbe card was without the knowlUm of an of the teachers. He further expresses regrets because ol the fact tbat tbe publication, made only in a spirit of fun, should have caused anyone tne slightest annoyance. VALIDITY OF THE BONDS SECRETARY CiRLIULE REAS SURES PURCHASERS. USava He Hs Full Authority To Isue Bonds Mo Hatter What He Msv intend To Do Wllb The Hone: Received Therefor. New York, Ian. 20. John G. Carlisle, secretary of tbe treasury, was at the Fifth avenue hotel in tbis city last night. As to his authority to issue bonds be said: "The judiciary committee of tbe House examined and reported upon tbis some question during the 6fty-second Congress and it then conceded that the authority existed under the act of 1875. Tbe ques tion as to tbe authority of the secretary of the treasury to use the money in any particular manner, or for any particular purpose, is wholly distinct from the question as to his authority to issue and sell the bonds. No matter what he may do with the money, the validity of tbe bonds will not be anected and there is, therefore, no reason why anyone should hesitate to invest in these securities on the ground that tbe proceeds might be possibly used for other than redemption purposes." IN CONGRESS. The Tarlfl The Bond Issuc-The Income Tax Bllli Washington, D.C., Jan. 29. Petitions against the Wilson tariff bill presented in tbeSenate this morning were very numerous and were from all parts of tbe country. A resolution was offered bv Stewart declaring it to be the sense of the Senate that the Secretary of the Treasury has no legal authority to issueandscll bonds as proposed. The Senate, be suid, ought at least to express its opinion on the subject; and he gave notice that he would ask action on bis resolution to morrow. The Hawaiian resolutions were taken up and Teller addressed tbe senate. At 11:15 the House went into com mittee ot the whole on the luiotne tax bill. McMillin offered it as an amend ment to the tariff bill and the amend ment was read in full, and the proposi tion to annex it to tbe tariff bill dis cussed. MRS. REBECCA BAIRD DEAD.

IT UIVF.tf HIM BTRI.NGTH A Good Biorv That Goes Arouud About Parsou Kuiuley. A good story is told on Rev. R. 1' Rumley, pastor of a Baptist colored church on liagle street. Rev. Rumley has become locally famous as a preuebcr ot great vociferousncss and decidedly original style, and his congregations are always large.

HONOTO- Tbe Humorous Incidents of a Half Day in This Tribunal Judge Jones and the "Inferior" Court. Let not the casual reader become fixed in the conviction that tbe life of a Bun combe county Criminal court is one round of monotonous tedium a succes sion of expressions such as "subpana," "sci fu," "capias," "nol pros.," etc., un relieved except by tbe pleadings of coun sel wbo fight for acquittal or conviction. Such a supposition is far from the cor rect one, for there are oases in the desert of legal technicalities as pleasurable to tbe listeners as the green spot to tbe famished traveler across tbe Sahara. Saturday afternoon was an occasion full of incident in tbe tribunal over which Judge Jones presides. Tbe week had been one ol a great deal oi work and matters were rocking along at a 2:40 gait in tbe afternoon, lid. Jackson had just been acquitted of a charge of false pretense, and his attorney, Cbas. A. Webb, was talking to bim so that Solicitor Carter's discharge of Jackson was not beard by tbe counsel, "If your houor please," began Mr. Webb, "I move the prisoner be dis " "He has been discharged," replied the Solicitor. "Beg pardon," fromMr.Webb; "I was giving the defendant some wholesome advice." "Let us hope," chimed in Judge Jones, "that it will have more effect than in tbe former case," ( referring to Boney John son, another of Mr. Webb's clients). Tbe lobnson bov. wbo was before tbe court a third time in the week, this time havinc been caught in White Bros.' store and sent for trial, had his hearing next. The testimony over, the boy was sentenced to the penitentiary at Raleigh for two years, where it is hoped he mav be taught a trade and weaned from his wickedness. While securing a jury for this case F. N. Waddell was challenged and asked if he had served on the jury within the past two years. "Yes sir," looking at the Judge, "in your Inferior court here." Judge tones: "You are mistaken, Mr. Waddell, mine is not an Inferior court -you arc probably thinking of Judge Moore's court." Whereat tbe bar laughed and tbe spectators risked a gnn. louimodore Koss, who tried to prac tice a Dark Corner, S. C. trick on Cab man Smith by forcing a reduction of fare was up for two charges assault with a deadly weapon and carrying a concealed weapon. In tbe first case the jury took oulv time enough to march out, turn and march in again and tbe word "Guilty" was pronounced by Spokesman Brevard. The Commodore plead guilty on tbe second iudictment. It was shown that he had given lee bail to Buncombe, owing some court costs. The sentences in the two cases amounted tosix months in the chain gang. The Judge said : "This was a very unprovoked assault, without rhvnic or reason. Mr. Sheriff, see that Mr. Ross does not step oil again." Deputy Morgan: "1 guess he will stay this time." "Mr. Ross smiles as if be doubted tbat proposition," said bit honor, and tbe case was passed. "Frank Sullivan! " called the Solicitor. "Where ore Corbctt and Mitchell?" Sullivan was charged with an assault with a deadly weapon. The jury found mm not guilty. The business of the court was practi cally concluded Saturday, the juries being discharged and only motions remaining to be beard. During the term tbe grand jury passed upon 110 bills. The court sentenced 17 offenders, 14 to tbe chain gang aud three to tbe penitentiary. In tbe cases against Raysor & Smith, wbo arc charged with selling whiskey without license, the defendants gave bond in the sum of $200 for appeuranct at next court. Tbe seutence of Wm. Teague, which lust week was fixed at 12 mouths, with leave to tbe Commissioners to hire him out, was today changed to six months in tue chain gang. THIS IS TWICE. Who "Goes ThrouKh1 lor court Clerk's The super Office 7 Superior Court Clerk Catbey would like to know who it is that seems to be forming a habit of "hooking" valuable from his office. Some time ago the pa pers in the suit started bv the count) against D. L. Reynolds, former county tax collector, were abstracted aud noth ing has ever been beard of their where abouts. At the last term of court, how ever, permission was given to substitute new papers for tbe originul, and tbt theft will cause no trouble. Saturday Mr. Catbey placed GO cents worth of stamps in a desk in the office Tbis morning tbey were misting, v.itb the exception of u 5-cent stamp. One ol the windows was partially raised, which indicated tbe tbiel's mode ot entrance. The court will scarcely instruct substitu tion in this case.
