OKLAHOMA. It iMfMtor to Swnorr KcM* oa AAitf to Gwthrte— A Much-Governed City. W/.rbi*qto», May 26.—Inspector Pick.er, of the Interior Deportment, who Is stationed In Oklahoma Territory, hits sent to Secretary Noble the following; letter: Pot- shoot tea da;* there has been a steadtly1accessing feeling here among the people against the City Council of Gnthrie. Tbiscouaeil was very Irregularly chosen to begin with, sad. as the people understood, lor the purpose ■rarely of putting the machinery of the citi la ssoboa. The mayor was selected by a commit tee of seven, chosen by n mass meeting, and a committee of oae from each State and Territory became the council, something in excess of thirty when chosen, hat now numbering about fifteen. 'Grave responsibilities were forced upon them and generally they hare assumed and settled them in a creditable manner. They have preserved order, surveyed the town, clearad tho streets practically, and la these matters they are commended by nil. They bare, however, assumed other powers, and undertahen to scl in various matters that are very generally and very emphatically condemned. They hare appointed an attorney at ll.noo per year, and an advisor of the council in arbitration, at a salary in excess of this; a board of fire arbitrators on settling the right ef possession to lots, some being members of the council, at ten dollars perday each: assess- > pg each claimant ten dollars before bis ease oould be heard, and reluming only the ten dollars to the party succeeding, and keeping tho remainder, there sometimes being fire or six contestants for the same lot: hare granted, or pretended to grant, a franchise tor ten years to ) a company to supply the city with water, build a bridge across the stream, grading streets, and in like manner taking many such steps that the eitixens loudly protest they were not chosen to do; and. further, collecting large taxes—an occupation) tax for a business of fire dollars pee month, a surrey tax. a recorder's tax on lots, etc.; enacting harsh ordinances, with henry and severe penalties for violation of these ordinances. sad recklessly using money In paying officials, and surveying the town In violation of the resolutions of the peoples' meeting, I in order to save their own lots. Further, it is claimed against this council that they are of those who came In oa the Sunday before the ted and nelied all of the best tots, and that the city government has in all matters protected the interests of these men. The mayor, Mr. Dyer, of Kansas City, came bn Sunday. Thu charge has been made the more emphatic from the fart that the City Council mistrust tbetr boards of arbitration: that la considering who is entitled to a lot the board can not taka Into consideration the time of settling ns before or after twelve o'clock, but that priority of settlement on Monday, the ted, regardless of the hour, entitled Ike party to the Jot. This the people considered In direct frnfiict with toe President's proclamation, in the last few days the eoeaell selected taro other boards of arbitration of five each, at a compensation of five dollar* per day each, aa claimed by some, and ten as claimed by others. The conncil has likewise transacted much of ilsfwsiness with closed doors. The lawyers have formed a bar association, and are the first lo lake action looking to an election of city ofileers and to the drafting of a charter to govern them. A petition was circulated ye sterdsy asking the council to call an election to divide the city into wards, snd to have the registry of the voters, and asking that the election be held Monday. May S7. everybody practically signing tee petition, tedependent of Uhls petition the cltixeas wills large mass meeting Inst evening on the government sere. They were very much In earnest and very determined. After speeches by ( different parties they passed a resolut*i ousting the mayor and City Council, appointed n committee to so notify them, end also bad passed a resolution appointing a committee of seven to call n city election, ignoring the present mayor aodoouncil. At this tlms there had grown to be considerable excitement, the friends of the old council were oa the outside deriding this action, which only tended to incense the great majority of the crowd. At the Juncture abore described in this large meeting of last evening, however, when a tew men were pushing an adjournment, leaving the resolut ion in effect to oust the present council, there were loud calls for me. from, 1 think, both sides or sentiments. 1 finally took the stand. 1 told them as an humble representative of the Interior Department I dcst*ed to say that the desire of the Department and the Government was that they should have a good andleconomical. as well as honest administration of their city affairs, and that the Government was determined to stand by the men who obeyed the President's proclamation, so far as It was m Its power to do. I then told ] them that in my judgment it was a mistake to j not petition the mayor and council to call the election; that it would most likely result in | twoeonfl cling city governments and great dis- j order and confusion, as well as great danger to ! the public good. That they must admit that , the council had done much to be commended, and that I was confident an election would not j be refused. 1 agreed with them that they were j entitled to a speedy election by ballot: that ! they were entitled to a sworn statement from j the present Council as to all moneys collected ‘ and paid out: that their Incoming administration should define the fees of nil officers and j boards; should be economic, and should be very j careful in regard to granting to Individuals j valuable franchises of the city without due con- j Alteration. A Mr. Dale, an attorney of Wichita. Kts., I followed, advising the same, and at the close of j his remarks s motion was made to reconsider j the rote declaring the offices vacant, but the j chairman of the meeting and about a half dozen others were ta favor of the action already j taken, and declared the motion out of order. I ami amid great confusion and no little excite- j mest. the meeting was about to be adjourned against the almost unanimous desire of those present to carry out my suggestion. They again railed for me. and. aulekly mounting the stand. 1 very earnestly appealed to them to act coolly, and asked them If the resolution they had passed prevailed, what would become of the city without officers and without a government until they elected other*. To this rather alarming condition the few ultra ones seemed to take heed, and the motion again made to reconsider carried, and a committee was appointed to present pell- j lions to the mayor to call another election, and I then the meeting adjourned in good humor, nil, j I think, deeming the action taken for the best. I 1 do not think such an emergency will arise again. The council will grant the elect on. j and ta fact, just before the close of the meet- j tag. sent word that the election would be called for June K> This, bowerer. Is loo late a date to suit the people, aad 1 think when wo j confer with the council on this point, they will | fix an earlier date. The meeting was unanimous, nowever. that If the council refuaed to call the. meeting that I then the citizens would call it. Major Pickier snys it is n very Interest- j ing study to watch this, a pure tlemocra- j cy. evolre a government and set their machinery in motion; bnt it will be done peacefully, orderly and without trouble. If liquor does not enter; and the United j States marshals and deputies are to be commended for their vigilance in this 4i- I reef ion. New people are still arriving, and the town, as does also Oklahoma City, continuer to grow as rapidly as at the beginning. It is simply wonderful.

He has attained the age of sixty-two years, has been a most excelent soldier, and lays down the cares and troubles of office with as brilliant a record as any army officer could possibly have. During the week there has been a bitter contest waged through the newspapers between the rivals for his place. By general consent the fight seems to have narrowed down to Colonel Kelton. the present Assistant Ad-jutant-General, and Colonel Whipple, now on duty at Governor’s Island, New Tork harbor.

About three o’clock the next afternoon a friend of the gambler dropped in on the Chinaman and said: “Hip, where is George to-day!" and the confiding Celestial wiped his eye with the corner of his blouse aud replied: “George, him dead."
