The Cherokee Georgian.; B. F. TAYLOR, Local Editor. Canton, G-a. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1876. MAIL TIME-TABLE. The mail leaves Canton for Marietta on Monday and Friday of each week, at 8 a. m. Arrives in Canton Tuesdays and Sat urdays, at 4 p. m. Canton line to Dawsonville leaves every Wednesday morning at 7 o’clock, and re turns Thursday, 4 p. in. Mb. John W. Hawkins was married on 8 nday, at Ophir, to Miss Drummond, Rev. J. A. Donald officiating. Free use has been made in our Cherokee aiticle this week, ot White’s “Historical Collections”—a work which every Georgian should own. The Proprietors of The Georgian will soon have an office in connection with the printing office, for the accommodation of theii friends. Mr. T. W. Baxter, commission mer chant of Cadersville, has an attractive ad vertisement in this issue, to which the reader's attention is called. Mr. John B. Price, rlkol I gentleman living near Orange, was seriously injured, on the Bth instant, by the falling of a tree. W« are glad to learn that the prospects of Mr. Price’s recovery are favorable. Lovers <>f music in Canton rejoice that’ Mr. McAf e has bought and placed in the hotel parlor one of Chickering’s splendid new upright pianos. The refining influ ences of music are felt by all, and he who fu nishes the medium ot those influences is to that degree a benefactor. Mr. G Hames of Trickutn, who is about thirty years old, has lived in this county t enty-five years, and saw Canton last Monday for the first time in his life. He ( HIM at once to our office and subscribed tor The Georgian, which convinces us that he is sensible and will succeed. There is a sign in it. Several young num have at different times subscribe 1 f>r The Georgian, requesting us to s nd it to M ss So-and-so, which we have promptly done, and we have noticed that these s ib- Mt ibers in the end give the Ordinary about as much money as we receive from them T ke courage, young man, and do like w se. We are informed that Robert Hillhon«e, Svl. and Van Payne have sold their gold mine near Sixes to Colonel W. A. Hoskins for $15,000. The U-r*.is of the sale were S6OO cash, and the balance in ninety days, provided that the ore, when assayed, conics up to the purchaser’s expectations. This Incd was bought of Sqwhe Isaac Ingram at»ut three years ago, for S4OO cash. It is i also reported that Cy. Dial has sol 1 his ’ mineral interest to a Northern company r presenting a million and a half of capital for $23,000, and that th s company intends to invest largely in Cherokee mineral lands, and engage extensively in mining opera tions. These signs are very hopeful for t »e future. SIIAKERAG justice court was not held U-t Saturday, the Federal authorities hav ing taken the Squin . clients, and witnesses to Cartersv lie on account of alleged viola- i tl ns of the revenue laws. Among the ya ties arrested wi re James and John Mc- Oy, George Biirtz, Michael and William < I>nc, Joseph and Thomas Pitman, Calvin R nipley, Henry Keefer, and Thus. White. Wi commented last week upon the out rageous proceedings incident to these ar te ts, and nothing has siuce transpired to modify the opinion then expressed. If the ss ertions of three or four disreputable d aracters are to outweigh the testimony of nn entire community, there is no longer any protection for honesty from the assaults W'villainy. The petition of our citizens for a tri wt ekly mail between Marietta and Canton , has failed to effect its purjiose. Dr. Felton I pr< sented the petition to the Second As aistant Postmaster General, and urged the ■mportance of the matter; but the latter official replied “that the revenue derived ; horn the offices on the route (about $73 per ai num) is not sufficient to justify any in ert asc of trips, the cost of the present semi vrivkly service being $390 per annum.” i If by "revenue derived” is meant the net amount which the Postofflce department receives from the postoflices on the route Ire-I tween Marietta and Canton, we think that would lex substantial reason why increased mail facilities should be granted; but if it nwana that the route yields only $73 in ex of post masters’ commissions, it is a mistake. The Canton postofiu'e alone has a< Id stamps dining the past three months al the rate of time hundred dollars worth yeuily, of which the Department would re ceive, alter deducting commissions, about $ 170, besides the amount of postage paid ' by The Georgian ; and the business of the office here is constantly increasing. What the offices at Woodstock, Holly Springs aud Marietta receive, we are not informed; but we have no doubt that their receipts altogether will equal those of the Canton office, and increased mail facilities would increase the business as to pay the addi tional expense ol a tri-wvekly service. Our mwspajxr enterprise is much cramped by ibe present arrangement; many people say they would subscribe, if they could get the paper in reason able time after publics- i feo», and the same reason operates against the bilnalin'tiou of papers jtublished ont- Aide of the county. Our Representative ’ witles that, though he has failed in his es for s at picacut, he * ill try again, and hopes to succeed. We know will do • his best The Railroad 0 itloak. 1 A bill is now beorc the Legislature j wh eh pn v : des that the State shall indorse , ti.e bond' ot h ' Marietta and North Gcor- ! gia railroad t ♦ the amount of $250,000, takmg a first mortgage on the road as secu rity, and allowing -the company twenty years in which to redeem the bonds issued. In 1371 the Legislature enacted a law giv i g the company $15,000 for every mile of . road-bed completed ; but owing to the op- j position of many persons to internal im provements by means of State aid, the 1 company now yields its rights under the act passed, provided the bill cited, which asks onlj' a loan, becomes a law. No valid objection can be urged against this bill. Its passage is demanded by the best interests of the section which the railroad propos-s . to penetrate; its defeat would wreck the j hopes, if not the fortunes, of many enter-1 prising citizens along the proposed route, and retard, perhaps for years, the develop- | ment of this wealth-laden country : for the I construction ot the road by individual sub scription has been tried only to fail, because of the people’s poverty. Several of our prominent citizens visited the Capital last • week, and exerted their influence among the members to secure the bill’s passage, with encouraging results. The committee i to which the measure was referred report- ; ed almost unanimously in its favor, and the House appointed yesterday for its consider ation. Ttic vote, of course, has not yet reached us, but we are led to believe that the bill will become a law, in spite of some retrogressionists who appear to have es caped from an Egyptian museum. If the assistance asked is granted, a new life will be infused into the people hereaway, and the locomotive will be heard in Canton in a very few months. If not —but we have no heart to sketch a picture colored by failure. Let us hope for the best. The Good Templars. A COUNTY GRAND LODGE ORGANIZED. On the evening of the 11th instant, Grand Worthy Chief Templar Thrower, assisted by District Deputy R. M. Mitchell, consti tuted a Grand Lodge of Good Templars for Cherokee County. The object of county lodges is to relieve the Slate grand lodge o' a mass of business which could be better transacted in these local bodies, and Io en large the efficiency of the Order. Three subordinate lodges were represented in the convention, as follows: Canton lodge, No. 11!) —J. W. Hudson, B. 11. Turner, J. E. Hutson, J. M. Turk, J. S Howard, Mrs. Emma Harris, Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. F. V. Turk, Miss Lizzie Barton, Miss Sallie Tur mr, B F. Payne, Jabez Galt; Little Rtver Lodge, No, 206 —J. P. Evans, II M. Camp, W. R. Lowry; Walcsci* Lodge, No. 421 J. M. Sharp, R. P. Daniel, J. M. Reinhardt, William Jones, M H ird Graham, Miss E 0. Harbin, Miss Maggie Barrett. After preliminary arrangemen's pccul’ar to lhe !-'<-! the li-lhr ■ ing officer' <4 the j County Grand Lodge were elected for the ensuing year: County grand chi< f—IT. J. O’Shields, Canton; Grand counselor—J. M. i Sharp, Wale-ci ; Grand vice—Mi-s M. E. Payne, Litt’e River; Grand secretary—Jabez Galt, Canton; Grand assistant secretary — Miss Lizzie Barton, Canton; Grand finan cial secretary —J. P. Evans, Little River; Grand treasurer —B. F. Payne, Canton; (fraud t haplain—W. R Lowry, Little River; Grand marshal —John Rhyne, Walesea ; Grand deputy marshal —Miss Dora Harbin, Wab sea ; Grand right-hand supporter — Mrs. F. V. Turk, Canton ; Grand left-hand supporter —Mrs. Emma Harris, Canton; Grand gnanl—Miss Maggie Barrett, Wales i ca : Grand sentinel-—W. M. Miller, Canton. At night, a large number of members as sembled in the hall, when speeches were made by Messrs. Thrower and Mitchell, and the degrees ot Fid iity and Charity were conferred upon over fitly persons. We wish the Good Temphus a full mens- ! ure of success in all legitimate reformatory movements. A Junta Incidents. Our friend Dr. T. ate, It is said, one foot of string sausages nt the Air Line House, ( the other night, at supper. Wc suppose he I must have had n night-mare afterwards | We w mid not hivcc.red, if he had not stolen the sample on our little plate. Our friend Col. B. was accused of taking i off the hat of one of tlie Hog. members i from Cobb. The member got his hat the ' next day, and the matter was settled. A man met us on the streets of Atlanta, addressed us by name, and said that he met us seventeen years ago nt a camp-meeting ,in Gwinnett county. It puzzled us to know how he could rctnemlier us so long, since i we did not owe him a cent! I Col. Brown and others from Cherokee and Cobb have been laboring faithfully in ; the interest of the Marietta and North Georgi a Railroad, since the meeting of the ■ Legislature.

Wc did not intend to reflect upon our efficient county officers, i who, we In'iieve, practice the strictest econ omy in the management of the affairs of the county. The Hon. C. M.

THE INDIANS— CONTINUED By the treaty of 1817 Georgia a-qjtfrc(l the territory of which the pres nt counties, of Ila'l, Habeislia n -nd Gwinnett. I rm d apirt, and these counties, among otln rsq were laid out and drawn for under the lot tery act of 1818. Immigrants crowded in to the newly acquired Unitory, and the 1 opes of the Cherokees that they would be allowed to enjoy in petice and security' the remnant of their once vast possessions were oon dissipate 1. The great pr ffits accruing from traffic, with the Indians the discovery of gold in various portions of the Cherokee country, the salubrity of the climate, and fertility ot the soil, had till combined to implant in the minds ot the whites a covetous di sire for this bounteous section which could on y be appeased by actual possession. But there were almost insuperable difficulties in the way. The nominal boundaries of Georgia extended northward to the Tennessee river, embracing the entire Cherokee country, but until 1828 the State had never extend- d I’s j i isdiction over it. In that year, however, owin' to the considerable number of her citizens who had penetrated the country, it became necessary' for their protection that Georgia should extend and enforce her criminal laws. This was the beginning of serious trouble wbiuh camo near terminat ing in hostilities between the State and Federal governments. The Cherokpes bad their own printed Constitution and code of laws, by which they had declared themselves an independ ent State, and claimed the guarantees made to them by treaty stipulations on the part of the United States to protect them in the peaceful and quiet possession of the coun try occupied by' them, securing the same to them and their heirs forever. Accordingly, when Geonzia asserted her jurisdiction, the Council of the Cherokees passed a law that no person should settle on their lands or trade with their people withQUt a permit from their anthc|risesJ To complicate matters, the United States government claimed the right of enforcing the intercourse 1 »ws for the government of the Indian tribes, which prohibited any person from settling on Indian territory, or rade with their people, without a permit from the proper authority. It is easy to perceive that the laws of these three different governments, intended to govern the same people, must have con flicted with each other, and constantly' rendered them liable to <«olllsihn. While this state of things existed, Georgia could not hope to free herself from the incon veniences occasioned by' having a people within her limits who refused to recognize tier laws. Repeated but unsuccessful efforts had been made to induce the Cheroke s to ex change the territory they claimed within the limits of Georgia for a country west of the Mississippi, whi-tf, in 1827, lion X'iison Lumpkin, then a Congressman, intro luced the following resolution in the ffouje: “Resolved, That the Committee of In dian Affairs be instructed to inquire into the expediency of providing by law for the removal of the various tribes of Indians who have located within the States or ter ritories of tho United States to sonic eligible situation we-tof the Mississippi.” This resolution was adopted, and the Committee of Indian Affairs made a report, accompanied by a bill, providing tnr the r moval of Indians still remaining within any ot the States or territories, and for their permanent settlement west of the Mississippi. The bill encountered violent oppositu n, but it finally passed. The pro visions of the net of Congress were con < d red plair, salutary, and comprehensive. They secured to the Indians forever the tm lisputed possession and control of the tvgio! s allotted them, and made such ar rangen c its as were essential to the sub sistence. safety, and comfortable establish ment of ttie colonists. Under this act many Indians from different States emi grated to the West; but, although efforts were made to induce the Cherokees to avail themselves of the provisiems ot Congress, only about seven hundred consented to do ; so. In 1830, two years after Georgia had ex tended tier liws over the Cherokee country, the first collision occurred betwi-en the : State and General government growing out of conflicting laws relating to the In- i ditißS. George Tassels, a half breed, had lieen convicted of murder in Hall rior. court and sentenced to be hanged. The Cherokees thereupon sued out a writ of error from the United States supreme court, ami the State of Georgia, through lier I Chief magistrate, was cited to appear he- ■ ! fore that tribunal to defend the State against I the writ. Governor Gilmer referred the ma’ter to the Legislature, then in session, I I and that b>dy passed a series of resolutions in which the interference of the Federal j couit in the administration of the criminal ! laws of Georgia was denounced as a fla grant violation of the State’s rights; the Governor was enjoined to disregard all mandates from the United States supreme court issued for the purpose of arresting the execution of any of tl.e criminal laws of the Slate, and the Sheriff of Hull coun ts was commanded to execute the sentence, j Ta i se’.s vas executed a few days after the ; passage of these resolutions, which gave , rise to much excitement among the Ohero-1 kees, as well as among the citizens of cer tain portions ot the United States. Many severe charges were brought against the Sta'e in reference to this matter, and nu- i merous public meetings were held and pe-! titions forwarded to Congress. In January, 1831, John K<«s, principal Chief of the Cherokee nation, applied to the United States supreme court for an in junction to restrain the Stale ot Georgia from executing her laws within the Chero kee territory. Georgia did not appear, i The counsel for the Cherokees, William I Wirt and Joliu Sai rent, s'.i?pvrh.d with I ’pitch learning and eloquence the motion i thran injunction, tut the court reftised to gripit it. At the session of the Legi Jature in 1831 ♦ Governor Lumpkin recommended an im mediate survey of the Cherokee lands, afid Mhat then Georgia should pause for a time and maintain her unpleasant and embar rassing situation, in the hope that better counsels might prevail among the Indians, and that those who governed them might Tiefci to such measures as would promote , tfieir real and lasting interest. The Legis lature authorized the survey', and, though great excitement followed, the survey was made and completed before the meeting of the next Legislature. During this year a majority of the Uni ted States supreme court issue ! a mandate t? 5 Gwinnett superior court, ordering a re versal of the decree under which the Rev. Messrs. S. A. Worcester and Elizur Butler were imprisoned, they claiming to be in tf'ie service of the Government. These <*“nilemen, with nine others, were convict el of ill-gal residence among the Chen kees, ami sentenced to four years’ imprism - ment in the penitentiary. The influence ot the missionaries was considered by many pjrwms a serious obstacle to negotiations with the Indians, and the Legi-lature had efrffleted that all white men found residing on the Cherokee lands after a certain time, without having taken the oath of alle giance, should be imprisoned in- the peni tentiary, at hard labor, tor not less than four years. Worcester and Butler, having refused to take the oath or to leave the ooCmtrv, and failing to prove that they were Federal officials, they were consequently imprisoned. A few months afterwards, when the dignity of the State would not suffer by the act, the Governor pardoned the missionaries. ]n accordance with an act of the Legis lature, the justices of the Inferior courts were directed to receive and return the nam'zs of persons entitled to draws in the loD-ry. Every adult white mule citizen of the State, if single, was entitled to one chance, and the head of each family, two . chances, upon the payment of twenty-five cents a chance. The returns were made, arid the- lottery' began on the 22d of Octo ber, 1832. In his message to the Legisla ture of 1833, Governor Lumpkin announced . that the lotteries were completed, and that ti«: act providing for the organization of ten-counties from the territories thus dis posed of had been carried into effect. With the sudden peopling of the Indian country which followed the lottery distribution, the removal of the Indians became a political necessity which could not long be delayed.
