From time every free people havo had ft right to employ labor without a ia bigh enough libis not opposed to a at but it coats too much for the high pjivilege of hiring a farmer or mechanic. The market value of labor iti high enough. If our patriotic law-makers would give more thought to the wants and necessities of our people, Instead of trying to rivet the shackles more closely on our people, my candid opinion ijs; we wouldsee more thrift an enterprise in one year 's time, than In Ave at the present rate of prn- greae. But then what may we pect? when a large percent of our law-makers can't toll the cardinal semi-cardinal points of the compassed, or the (lifterenoe botwoct; lip and down.

Henry flood, who it will be remembered, made his asoape from his guard some two years ago, after having two hung juries on his jury at one time stood, eleven for hanging and one for captured by the city officers of Furt Smith the other delivered to Sheriff Johnston of this District. Mr. Hood is charged with killing Sjfl- vestc-r King, committed July, 18th, 1875, nearly seven years ago. Boce Simco, charged with being accessory to the murder of King, is also in the custody of the Sheriff.

Johnston, who shot and killed George Brewer on the 16th wiia ihdicted for murder in the first degree at a preliminary examination held on the 2l3t inst. The particulars of the case are, that Johnston should said something derogatory to the chariicter of Brewer's wife when Brewer asked him about it, he said, "it was a dam lie." Just at that time Brewer took hold of his pistol, when Johnston's wife jumped in between tbem, and Johnston fired oyer his wife's shoulder, the through Brewer 's head fell and expired instantly.

VVe presume this action of Senator Plumb is in accordance with the wish of the-Cherokee Nation. Chief Bushyhead, in his message to the Cherokee Council last fall, reconmiended that some action bfc taken toward inducing the government to complete the pnrehase of the strip l)y paying for it. VVe failed to learn what, if any action was taken by the Council on the Chief's rconimendation, but have reasonable assurances that tho Chief, in making tho reccom- mendation, merely gave e.xprcHsiim to the general wish of tho Cneroket! people. What disposition will be made of the atrip after it is paid for and passes into the exclusive possesion of the United States, is not foreshadowed at present. It is likely, however, that the original intentions of locating the CheNcimes and and other tribes upon it will be carried out.

Marshal's posse went out on 14- inile creek, not far from hero to arrest a young man charged with soiling Jamaica ginger. VVheri they arrived at tho place where he was, they played themselves off as cattle buyers, and getting, what they thought the ''drop" on the young man, they ordered him to give up, tho young man not knowing what they were about, got his work in first and they desisted and went off, scared.

No race of people (fver made the change in ten years that the Osage have.

Ten years ago the Osage tribe of Indians was a band of nomads, subsisting principally by tho chase, dressed in blankets and skins, and sheltered by frail wigwams; their oidy live consisted of dog? and and for any Indian, other than a sqaw, to labor with his hands was thought to he and degrading. Ten years have wrought a wonderful change. The Osages have learned that there is dignity ami comfort and money in labor. I'Vie Hoft hantled warrior has become fanner. He is liist changing hhs nearly worthless lit- ponies for horses of all work.

The wigwam has given place to the comfortable 'dwelling, and its oocujiant no longer seek a precarious living in the woods on the jjlains. He raises com and wheat and vegetables and pigs and poultry and cattle, and sends his chil- den to his white brother. To Agent L. J. Miles is due the honor of directing the process by which the Osage has been changed from a wandering, half-clothed, half-savage being to a laboring farmer.

Agent Miles' labors for the welfare of his charge have been crowned with wonderful success. He may well feel proud of what he has done. The Osages have not only become civilized in their habits and manner of living, but they have changed their form of gov- erenment. The tribal form is entirely broken up. We learn from Mr.

Jno. N. Florer, who is just up from the Territory, that on the 25th of last month the Osages held an election at which Joseph Paw- ne-no-poh-she (Big Hill Jo, as the old settlers here knew him) was elected Governor, and Strike-Axe, Lieutenant-Governor. There were also elected tbj-ee Judges, eight from eaoli Distnot iiito which the Osage territory is divided, and twenty-four Councib from eaeh district.
