That is a pretty anApathetic story that my young friend Fred Govian wrote about the inissionary, Dr. But lor and his wife. No doubt but that it was founded on fact, and ho prob ably got his data from soino very old man who still lives near Coosavillo, a littlo -village - twelve miles bolow Rome. I was intorested in (he story because when I was a lad that. sano Dr. Butler was imiprisoned in the county jail in Lawronecovillo, whoro my father lived. Another mission ary, by the name of Worcester, was imprisoned with him, and their of fonso was their rofusal to take th1 oath of allegiance to the State ofi Georgia or otherwise to leave Jfl Cherokee nation. TheY .i) sus pected of up. infuetce to 9-..i.tlh Ifndians dissatisfied wit'h the treaty that required thom to go west. John Howard Payne, tho au thor of "Homo Sweet Home," wias also a suspect, and was arrested and taken to Milledgeville to be exam ined. Thoso wero hot timos in Geor gia, especially north Goorgin, for Gwinnntt wias a border county, and we children coumd ainost see I ndians squatted among the chintiquapin bush - os or behind the trees on the road to the mill. We know they Were just over the Chattahoochoo river, aind that some white peoplo over thoro bad been inurdered by them. In dinns were as much a terror to us as ghosts and runaway negrovs. The new granite jail had just boon col pleted, and nine Indians woro the first ,prisoners. They all osenped within a week. They fook up a stonc, in the floor and bilrrowed out liko moles or rabbits. I never heard until G-ovan wrote it that Butler was dragged to Milledgo villo with a rope arouid his neck, nor am I prepared to beliovo that much of the story. Io and Wor coster were arrested at Now Echota (in G9rdon County) and brought mounted to Lawrencovillo an(I tried before Judge Clayton, who was Mrs. Henry Grady's grand fat hor, alearned, humane and incorruptiblo judge. They haid the best of local counsel, Elisha Chester, also a native of Con nectient, and they htan tho renowned William Wirt as an adviser, and 9hyhdthe p)residlent, JIolhn Q i noy A a r-ontheir side. Johtn Mat shall, the chief justice of thte supreme court, issued his miandatus to com pol Judge Clayton to tolonso thte pr-isoners, hut heotrefused, and a col - Ilision seemed inevitable btetwooen thte United States antd thie Stato of Gehor gia. I think that Mr. Glovan's in formnant is mistaken, for Uutler had lots of friemis-powerful frienids - andi John Ross, the chief of the Cherokees, was. backing Itittm. Doubt 10osslie was a good man, b)ut lhe wvas stubborn and fan atical,- anild decl ared lie owpd no allIegiance except to the American board ojf foreigt n missions, and to God-that it was his duity to teach Chirist.ianit.y to thle Indl ians, and lhe would continno to (10 so. B .th these tmen' wetr conivicted anid'sentenced to the ponitent inry for' fou r years. When t.hey arrivedl at Milledgoville Govet-nor Lmuttpkinm kindh dvised thetm to tatke the oathi or - froo to leave ihe SItale, and if th7 wvould do eIter he would at l)n ardon t.htom. They refused and wrot.e to the btoar-d or missionts for advice. Thait bJoard commtenCi(dd their refusal and again iurgod Witt and Sargeant to resort to the su pr-etti court. But these eminent law yers advised an acceptance of (Gov ernor Lumpkin's ofl'er. So they ac cepted and were pardoned---and my father always sid( they returned to Coecticut. He knowv thbem .and had many convei-sations with thetm and give them good advice, for lie, too, was a Newv England man. And hence I yni surprised to learn fr-om Mr. Govarn that Butler returned to *his misesionary wvork anid (lid near Coosavillo and was b)uried by the side of his wife. In fact, I never knew bei -t%ttbe had a wife, but otc .he inscription on her tomb. o settles that. Mr. Govan gives (itlor the Christian name of Elonez, but the records in the State archivcs show his name as he himsolf signed it to bo, Elizur. It is, however, an interesting and pathetic story and very groat mon figured in it, both State and nation al. The conflicts betwoon the Stato md. the Chorokoos and' the United States continued for twelve years and onded only with the exodus of 1838. Soveral treaties wore made made only to be broken. Ross and Ridge, the two chiefs, could never a.o upon terms, and they had their followers. When Georgia coded Alablia and Mississippi to the Unitpt1 States in 1802, the consid oe on was that tho United Stes should extinguish the In ians' tilo amd removo them beyond the Mississippi river. .Tio federal government was so slow in trying to do this that after waiting and urg ing'and entreating for twenty years, the State got impat iont and do manded action. The Ross party declored they would not go at all, bnt finally agreed to code thoir lands for $20,000,000 and seven millions acrou of land. This price was considorod beyond reason, and the Ridge party finally roduced it to $i'),000,000 an i sevon million acros atd * (00,000 for expons6s -in break ing up and transporting their very limited household goods. It is as tonislhing how many notable men it took to (ffect the removal of tho Crooks aud Cherokees from Georgia. In looking over the recordr we find t-hat, Governor James Jackson had t!ctible with the Creeks, who after tley hand mado a treaty continued .ioir depredations, an(d ho upbraided them and brought forward a long list of Jamagoi, iaiounting to '$I.J,000, which he said they mus pay. "Give mosomo paper," said the chief, "and I will mako a longer account against your peoplo than that." But Gov ornors Troup and Gilmer and Lump kin had the most seriouR tronblos and their complications brought in President Adams and Jackson, John Marshall, Joseph Story, William Wirt, John Forsythe, Andrew Pick ens, - Oenoral Scott and Gonoral Gaines -all of whom took an active part, in the negotiations. This Gon eral Gaines was a friend and mili. tary companion of Gonoral Androw Jackson in the In(ian wars and was the husbUnd of Myra Clark Gainos, who. had thli long and famous law suit against the city of Now Orleans. Fort Gaines in Gekorgia wvas named for him and I suppose that Gaines ville was also. TJhien thore woere many not able Tn dlianis nadit haulfbroeNds, suich as John Rloss and Alex MceGilliv%ray, William Intiiosh, (Chilly Mcintosh, all of Scotch descent. Thei descendants of the Ross family and the McIntosh family are domiciled in the Cherokee niation and still are leaders in the tribes. They are all well educated anid I am not afraid to say that tho McTutosh girls are the most, beauti (fii specimlens of womnankind I ever sawv, t hat is to saIy except some. Moore's Lailla lRookh was iiot to he compijar-ed to them. '.jiey are the only hal f-brood children I met in the nation who did not, havo an Oxcess of high cheekbones. -Now, although thlese Cherokees, I >,000( in nmbelr, went wvest against their will and .1,000 of them (died on the way, yet it was a good move for themi and they made at good trado $i>,t 00t,000) i.d 7,t000.000) acres of land- -the finest lands on the conti' nent, beanutifully' woded andl water odl, and what is worthi still more, they live in peace with the outside world. Here t.hcy were always in conflict not only with the whites, but with theniselves, for they had two chiefs who did not work in harmony, for one wvas a Sc'ot.ahman andl the other was niot. Sidney Smith saidl that Scotchmn were generally right, lbut wvhen wrong woero the wvrongst people in the world and no argument could tnrn themi The word "scotch," "scotch the wagon ,"-caino from their stubbornness. But they were true to faith and to principle. Every signer of the Mecklenburg declara tion of Indopendence in 1775 was a Scotclinan, or as they are now gen orally callod "Scotch-Irish," that is Scot chmen who removed to the north of Ireland. It is very stiange that so iany of them came to this wild coul try and mingled with the Indi ans nid married their daughters. There were the Rogors brothers on the Chattahoochee who took Indian wives. Thoy woro good mon, good citizons and well educated. My wife when a girl used to visit their girls and was fond of them. You can toll a Scotchman as far as you soo them, for they all have auburn or light hair and blue eyes and florid complexions and are gonorally tall and straight. I don't believe that Georgo Adair is full-blood on both sides, though ho has all of their good qualitios except their religion. I am onl) a half brood myself, wihich is all the botter for my wife, for as it is she can make me do as she ploasom and I can mako her do as she ploasos too, so its all right and peace reigns in the housohold. BIM Alm. PUI.C OFFICE A I'UI1,10 TRUST. Tho Famous Mlaxim A ppeared l in JefT..rion Davim'm Writinigm. (Now York Sun.) Somehow I overlooked your recent publications in respect to the quota tion, "Public Office is a Public Trust," intil this morninrg. Referr nig to a second publication in your issuo of July 22 as to Col. Daniel Lamont's agenny, etc, I bog leave to call your attention to a very intor osting paragraph on this subject from which it will appear that Mr. Cleveland undoubtedly obtained the idea, not from a perusal of the Dom ocratic platform of 1870, nor from Lord Clancellor Loughborough's writitngs, but from the inaugural ad dress of Mr. Jofferson Davis as pro visional Prosident of the Southern Confederacy. In support of this suggestion I quoto the following from a pamphlet entitled "Third Term, Presidential," by Ex-Sonator and Ex-Attornoy Gon oral Glad1, of Arkansas. In that pamphlet, publislied nearly two years since, in which the pernicious doc trino of it third term was ably coin bated, Mr. Garland says: Thoro aro public offices -and there are oflic0s, an(d, as their names im port, one sort is for public intorost 1lone and the ofher for private in terest, and theo two must not be mingled or confoundold, "A public trust," saidl Burke many years ago, andl Mr. Jefferson reitoratedl it witi sharp emphasis, (Rayner's "Life of J effersoni," p. ~350,) and so did Mr. Cahoun, July 13, 1835, and Mr. Charles Sumner, on May 31, 1872, said this phirase had of late become comn promilwperly. Looking over 50ome1 old, musty- papors historical of the "Lost Cause," I findl Mr. Jef ferson D)avis, in his inaugural ad dre:ss as the provisional President of the Sontheirn Confederacy, April 26, 1801, says "all p)ubhlc oflices are but public trusts," thus, in his first bow to the pub)lic in this experiment of goverinmont, in an address couched in flint pure and undefiled English of which lie was perfect master, plac inig before his people the great value and1( impor-tance of seeing and unider staind1 img thiis dlistinct ion. I thinkh .Judge Cooley, in his "Pr-i ncies of Consrtitutional Law," (second edit ion 189 I,) says that "a. public oflice is an public trust,'' and (Gon. (larland calls att ent ion to the fact that, in thle camnpaign of .188 1. Mr. Cleveland rocalld this maxim (of Jeflferson Davis.) to the attention of the American people, and urged them not to forget it. Trho Geon oral very aptly says that "it was the imotloe of the campl~aign p)amphlet of 1884; it b)lazedl and glittered upon the transparenuies in the torchlight. processions; it gleamed upon all the party. flags andl it appealed to the voters of the country at all times andi in all ways, and( the party wvent to victory with that criterion as its chief prop and support."

[Press andl Bannor.] Duiring al. !ast wook the Teachers' Istituto was in session. Oi Vcdnesday the Farmers' in stitute was hold when various Pro fessors of Clomsoi college took part.. Sonator Tillhman spoke ci that day. On Friday the candidatos for son atorial honors addressoOi tho people, namely: McLaurin, lyans; Mlay flold, Jlrby. Except on Moday night, the edi tor of the Press and Banner was not prosent at the Teachors' Instituto. Dr. Rice, Prosident of the Columbia Fomale College, was the orator of tho evening. He has great lung power, and his physical condition soomo( at its best. -He spoke so as to bo heard distinctly. Wo didn't quito understand tho point, or pith of the romarks which he mado, though it soomed to us that ho meant to enlarge on tho importanco and responsibility of teaching. We thought his manner at timos lacked a little of prolpor revorenco and his frequent referonce to "God's green earth," and "God's univorso" rather confirmed that impression, "As deep as hell and as high as heavon" was one of his favorite expressions. He had something to say about "a pair of minutes," the (Irift of which we did not catch. lhe Doctor has mniy a(mirers in Abbiville, who are always glad to hear him. The high ofilico which ho hol(s is the best. 6vi donco of his superior gifts and on dowmenits. The music during the evening was excollent and th1e recil'tioi by Mr. Slaughter brought, down the house. President Gilliam ainiouicod the conclusion of the oxrises,.and Said that an interesting program ha boon prepared for tomorrow night. Wo heard Professor Newman's ad dress on "Plant (Irowth." Io com meiiceed by paying a nico (riblut" to the wisdom and sagacity of the Al mighty in tho preparation of the soil, and the perfecting of other con dit,ions necessary for plant, growth. He, ir. fact, approved about all that the Lord had dono in that direction, and from his frequent montion of thle namo of "(God" we )re(.Sllumo that lio, like Mohamed, is a special friend Professor Newman had specimens of plants boeforo him, and he explain - ed1 in a learned way, the whlys and thn wherefores of plant growth, '11 of which was highly inst-ructive to tihe scientiftic audience. The lectu re, ho salid, was very much the same as that delivered to the studeiln at Clemson, andI was, therefore, a spec imni brick in that institution. When he concluded his speech, somehbody asked himi som ethlming ab)out terraces. Ini relly to this the learned Profes sor applied some good hard horse senso0 iln plain E'nglish, which will likely udo nmeh good. Hie shiow''d the great value of properly constrnet ed torraces. After P'rofessor Newmani hand tn ihed the t erraines, him an aBlake introdu aced en at or Tlilbnaan as the next speaker oni the pro-grmam. Senator Tilb ran made a spoech whlrich iam pressed his .hearers. lie hans in hirm the elemnents of oratomy and thle piowe r toc swvay an audiene'. As compa):red withr the speakers on Fnrday, Henator Tihnan is a great nman.

Senator Tilhman said that McLau rn has boen charged wvith not, being a Demnociat. Tihie speaker said that he had voted for everything that Mc Laurin had voted for, and said, "I swiear to God that f am not, a Ro publ ican111" Wlhen ho touchod upon tho dis posary he mado an ablo prosonta tion of the benofit. of the law, and, plodged his otornal faithfuliess to thIo peoplo. Ho urged the people to stand to Cloimson collego, and spoko of tho difliculties which tho trustets had experieled inl getting suitable tonch orm. Tho Agricultural collego was nocessary to tho most successful farming. During his speech Io frequently mpoko of "learning" poplo to do io and so, when ho moant to say "toaching." This newspaper made tho same mistako-(not knowing bottor)-soino ton yoars ago. The Rogistor, in an article of a column'si length kindly pointed out tho orror, and mado it so plain that, wo recog nizo it now whenovor wo hoar it. \Vo understand that some of the teachors at tho instituto said "learn" when they moant "teach," and said "progrum" when it was morally cer tain that they moant "program." The Suporinteudont of Education will possibly seo that the first grado certificatos aro taken away from such teachors as do not know better than to pronouinco program progrum. On Friday Sonator 1 IcLaurin do fonded his views on the tariff mons uro in a dignified aid imporsonal way, impressing the pooplo favor libly. lHon. John Gary E1vans, siwt. most of his tilmio in oxposing MC1a1um's uniitness for Sonator, and comibat, ting the fallacy of protection for the South. Ie had somoi1thing to say of Calhioun, the speakor having svoln ingly forgotten that the pincidples for whiielh Calhoun stuggled in tho time of slavery aro now nxplodod theorivs. Mr. Mlayfiold oxposed thle weak 110., wickednMess and wort.hlessness of the dispensary law. Ho felt kind ly to Sonator Mclaurini, but he wanted the pALacO himself, and would bottor represent the StatO in \ashl ington than could McLaurin. Hon. J. L. M. Irby appeared as the last Hpolakor on the program. H1e like the other speakors, thought that McLaurinl's placo wouild ho botter filled by anothor-and that. otier was himself. lHe thought MeLaurin was a popullist, atnld spoke of the political intoleranco of the Democratic party. "Why, follow-citizons, whenl I was chairman of the party, some of them actually talked of turninug moe out of the party." People ought to he on their guar d ag"ainst P.opulists. Stiff-backed Lutherans.--Thocre was a weak, struggling Lutheran mis sion aroundi( the corner. A liuthi eran was visiting a friend who be longed1 to thme little church, and, as if the elhureh of her adopt ion had no clims of her loyalty whatever, sulggest(d t.o 1hcr friend that they go to a ''big'' church. ''No 1'' was thme pr'omplt rep)ly. 1'hat mission needs my pres~ence, alnd 1 (10 not 1)01ievv in helping to encourage other churches to thme neglect of umy own. We have too many L uth - crans alrcady who think more of o,thier 5hturChles than they do of their own. And with thait she wvent off to her own chiurchm, while her 1.' went to the P.resbyter'ti. We ventumre to say that there is not 'a pator01 ini anty denoilination who wVould( nt rathler h'I ave his conigrega - tion mtlttl upi of stiff-backed mom11 h)ers likhe t he former than to st ruggle along with a large conigregat ion mnade up of mcm,bors wvho (10 not know where they belong. WVe fear that mnatny Lumterans have yet, to learni what, loyalt,y is. It may be pleasing to one's vanit.y to be cal led liberal ; but no one has any respect for a church mtemnber who is not loyal. We justly find fault with American citiztens who are con stant ly praising lEngland or Ger'many or Scandinavia to the dlet rinment of their own country, and1 it is 110 less treasonable to prove dlisloyal to one's church. If it, be bigotry to prefer one's own spili al mnotherm to any other, thle mon bigots the church can produltce, thme hotter. T1hie Luthenan.
