The charge was made that Blackwell, contrary | to the laws of the Nation, sold land to white persons. Two days later a squad of Indian police swooped down on Blackwell's home and drag ging the prophet from the arms of his wife and childrea carried him in irons to the Cherokee dungeons at | Claremore. There he was cut off from all communication with the | outer world and pnt on bread and | On Monday Blackwell was taken | from prison and after being stripped naked and his flowing whiskers and jhair cut off, he was taken before Chief Ohahs, who was holding a sub council and asked to confegs. Black well answered that he had no con fession to make, that be was the vic tim of a villainous conspiracy and asked to be released, but instead he was carried to the “Needles” and horribly tortured. The “Needles” is a small enclosure near the prison where culprits who refuse to confess their crimes and are taken and jabbed in the body by ten bucks who dance around him with the terrible ~ki-yi” and jab as they dance. After being subjected to these indignities, Blackwell, bleed- ing from innumerable flesh punc tures, was taken back to his dungeon where he still remains, iroued band and foot, votwithstanding the fer vent appeals of his wif aod friends No dete hes been fixed for the ua fortunate man’s trial and there is no agency and was general superiotend ent of the town.

Richmond, Ky., Dec. 9.—The as- sassination of David Doty at his farm near this city on Friday is still the leading topic for discussion. Last night J. H. Neighbors of Eliz- abethtown arrivedin Richmond with two English bloodhounde, and they were immediately taken to the place where the the crime was committed. Goce on the trail they went to the cabiu of Abram, Tom and Bill Tay- lor, a half mile distant, then trailed back to the place of the killing, then to the cabin again. This was fair evidence, and the chase was aban- doned, the authorities believing the proper parties had been arrested. They were right in the betief, for to day Bill Taylor, the yonngest of the brothers, all of whom are in jail, confessed, saying he was in Doty’s stable attempting to slip oue of his mutes, when the latter came upon him. On being asked to give the reins to him he fired and struck Doty in the stomach Doty fell, but arose. Taylor shot again, laying the farmer low once more. To make sure he grabbed Doty in the collar, lifted him up and fired two ballets through hve head. Hethen escaped. Tay ler's confession is sufficient for ‘Squire Doty's friends, and they bere in large numbers from Madison and Girard counties to swing him up before daybreak. The excite- ment is very high, and Doty‘s CHRISTMAS THE CHRISTMAS FIGURE On our Furniture isa pleasing one, because we have trimmed our prices to suit even people who are short of cash.

Globe Democrat, The threatened rebeliion in Ala- bama has turned out to be a miser- able failure; bat the fact remains that it uight easily have assumed a serious aspect. There is reason to believe that Kolb originally intend- ed to resort to violence in the asser- tion of his’claims to the Governor- ship but that the courage of his fol- lowers could not be screwed to the sticking place, and so hy contented himself with wildly taking the oath of office and talking about an appeal to the Legislature. There 18 not the least reason te suppose that his case will ever be considered by that body: but it should at least take sufficient notice of him to pass a law waking it a penal offense for any man to assume the authority of an office to which he has not been duly declared to be entitled In fact, there should be such a law in every State. It is necessary for the pre- servation of order aud the mainten- anee of political institutions that the results of elections, as certified by the proper officere, should be re- pected and enforced. This is the basis of popular government, aud the only assurauce of peace and safe- ty. Where it is believed that frauds were perpetriteJ, there is always a legal way to investigate and decide the matter; but there is never any justification for measures of an arbi- trary and revolutionary nature, and. those who adopt such measures should be severely dealt with. Itis the business of men like Kolb, political adventurers who play upon the ignorance and passion of certain elements of society, to keep things in a turmoil in order to make themselves conspicuous. ‘They are professional disturbers of the pub- lic peace, who foment excitment up- on the slightest pretext and are nev- er so happy as when scattering fire brands about them and calling it politics. There is vo limit to the possible mischief that may be done by such persons uuder conditions favorable to their methods and tend- encies They are usually irrespon- sible and have nothing at stake to steady their purposes and their pro- ceeding. Asa rule, they do not suc- ceeded in getting a majority of any community to follow after them, but those who do accept their leadership are mostly wanting in appreciation of the duties and responsibilities of sam RTT canec a to suade into movements of Sadang- pt character. There should be no limitation of freedom in the sense of honest endeavor to promote the triumoh of given political doctrines and regulations; but there certainly should be 2 way to prevent rattle. — and ee a — 's from antagonizit e and decisive operation mat FR aa The man who takes an oath to per- forw the daties of an office to which another man holds the required cer- tificate puts hiaself iu the attitude of repudiating aod resisting the coa- stituted authorities of the State, and that ie s thing which should net be allowed under any circumstances.
