Another Indian War Speculation.
It is reported that a band of throe hun
dred whites, encouraged by the -violation
of treaty obligations by our government
in permitting'the invasion of - -the Black
Hills region by a military force, and
with their avarice stimulated by the glow
ing and exaggerated accounts of the min
eral resources of that territory sent
abroad by persons attached to the Custer
expedition, are now on their way into
the coveted country which has been
solemnly reserved'by the government for
the .exclusive ownership and occupation
of the Sioux Indians. Of course the
Sioux are greatly excited over this news.
This is only what "was to be expected, for
it mustbo evident.that tlio main object
of the Custer expedition and the publica-
tion’of wild-stories of abundant gold, was
to provoke trespasses on the part of the
wh^f^jwhich- tvdEil d lead to open hostili
ties. This accomplished, at least three
distinct purposes --would bei served. A
pretext would bo found for annuling the
existing treaty and seizing the land of the
Iudiitn£“ ih’bpemng would be made for
fat contracts fpr favorites of the Admin
istration;. and a certain clique of army
officers might be enabled to gain noto
riety as Indian fighters, and the far more
important waste of life which would re-
suit froth'"if gtu feral war with the warj
likfeLtribes occupying the (Black Hills re
gion do liot seem to have been thought
■worthy of consideration by tho concoc-
tors of this iniquitous sheme. It is be
lieved that if this plot succeeds, and the
government finally gains possession of
the land belonging to the Indians, the
most valuable portions of the territory
will be found to have been covered with
claims by persons who hold intimate re-
laSonifwith the Administration.

The Mobile Register gives a curious
example of the means resorted to by tbo
agpnte of Iiaudanlet Williams to swell the
rofi 5 prisoners arrested for oppressing
and intimidating tho blacks. The wife
of a well-known citizen of Sumter county
a few dap-sago seat her two washerwomen
to a creek some distance from the house
to- wash as the well had become dry.
About noon she sent them dinner, by a
white man, who- was employed on the
place, and a negro who saw this man on
his way to the creek hastened off and
reported that hewas feeding Ku-Klux in the
woods. Of course the man was arrested
and put in jail, where ho will probably
bo confined until after the election. Mauy
of-the arrests in Alabama have been mode
on even less provocation than this, and
with no other object than to intimidato
white voters. As the lying agents of
Williams find in two hungry negro wash
erwomen waiting for their dinner by the
edge ipf a creek a sufficient foundation for
telegraphing North that the woods are
full of Ku-Klux, so an indisposition to
vole for Charles Ananias Hays on the
part of a white citizen is considered by
the officials of onr republican government
a sufficient reason for arresting him and
keeping him in prison till after the
election.
One of the most influential advisers of
the spurious Governor forced upon the
people of Louisiana by President Grant
and his brother-in-law is a negro politi
cian named Dave Young. He was Presi
dent of tbo last Republican State Con
vention, and recent disclosures show that
ho was fully qualified to preside over such
an assemblage^ It seems that the grand
jury in Concordia Parish, composed of
two white and fourteen colored men, have
been examining the accounts of the
Parish officers, and discovered a defalca
tion of $30,000 by Young, who holds a
local office under an appointment from
Kellogg, and who was thereupon indicted
for embezzlement. This enterprising
politician is the Kellogg candidate for
State Senator in the district where he
lives, and the New-Orleans Bulletin, says
that in all probability be will be elected
qiUesfj ho should in tho meantime be sent
to the 'penitentiary. Why don’t Landau-
let Williams have that disloyal grand jury
arrested under the Enforcement Act for
conspiring to intimidate the colored race?
Tiii Nevada Sekatoesotp.— 1 There is
no doubt, says the New York Sun, that
Sharon, the millionaire candidate for
Stewart's place in tiie Senate, depends
mainly upon the Grant party in Nevada
to carry him through. The leaders of
that party are willing to take him at their
own price and hoist him into the Senate
without regard to any other qualification
than his wealth. It is the Jones election
over again. The Democrats and Inde
pendents seem to be firmly 'united in
their effort to redeem Nevada from the
rule of money, and many Republicans,
disgusted with Grant, Jones and Sharon,
are deserting their party. But tho joint
influence of the Federal office-holders, the
Central Pacific Railroad, and the Bank of
California is with Sharon.
Washington Chronicle of Saturday throws
-some light on this Texas reform move
ment. That paper, speaking by author
ity, says: “Many of the United States
. Marshals, and somo of the' Postmasters
and other Federal officers appointed since
the war in the Southern States, are dis
loyal to tlio Federal Government, and
deadly opponents of . the Republican
party. These persons have crept into
office by false professions of repentance
and conversion, and by adroitly deceiving
an ever lenient and confiding administra
tion. The President and his Cabinet
have been fully apprised of these facts,
and prompt action on the part of tho ad
ministration may be anticipated.”
While Grant’s minions are arresting him-
cbeds of white men in Louisiana for liav-
ing declared their unwillingness to give
employment to the supporters of Kel
logg’s banditti, by whom they are op
pressed, robbed and plundered, this
“ever lenient and confiding adminis
tration” makes a clean sweep of all
Federal office-holders who are suspected
of being “opponents of the Republican
party.” While the government makes ab
ject devotion to.the Radical party an in
dispensable qualification for office it in
flicts pains and penalties, arrest and im-

are reduced to-the verge of starvation.
Gen. Ord,commanding the Department of
the Platte,and who is personally cognizant
of the facts, has addressed to the Chicago
Board of Trade a communication in which
he gives, in plain, direct terms, the sad
story of the destitution and suffering in
Western Nebraska, caused by the ravages
of the grass-hoppers that in countless
millious swept over'that region this fall.
From the reports of his officers on the
ground and among the people ’ General
Ord has trustworthy information as to
the actual condition of affairs. He states
that several cases of actual death have
already taken place. Fathers have been
compelled to abandon their families and
seek work and food. In one boose the
corpse of a child was fonnd that had
perished for want of food, and near it
the mother, prostrate and dying from the
same cause. He Btates that in Boone,
Greeley, Sherman, Howard, Buffalo, and
all the other counties fifty miles west of
the Missouri river, two-thirds of tho peo
ple are destitute of all tho necessaries of
life. They have neither clothing nor
shoes, and food is impossible to get.
In response to General Ord’s appeal an
influential committee has been appointed
by the citizens of Chicago to take prompt
steps for the relief of the sufferers of
Nebraska, who are estimated at over
seven thousand men, women and children.
The Third -Term Organ Compliments
Mr. Stephens.
The Republic, the paper recently estab
lished in New York as the organ of the
“third term movement,’’ and which has
out-heroded Herod in lying, making itself
the medium of all the vilest slanders
against the South that have recently been
manufactured by Landaulet Williams’
lying minions, speaking of Hon. Alex. H.
Stephens, says: “That so prominent and
influential a man has at last grasped the
true aspect of tho situation, is at once
creditable to his own heart and his own
discernment, and to the wise nDd just
government which he thus liberally and
honestly indorses.”
Upon which the St. Louis Republican
remarks: “Now having slathered the
gentleman from Georgia all over with
saliva, let Cmsarism go the whole ana
conda and bolt liim.”
We fear that Mr. Stephens has greatly
damaged his standing as a Jeffersonian
Democrat, and impaired his power for
usefulness.in Congress by bis persistent,
and, as wo believe, indefensible defense
of Gen. Grant.
Beast Butlee Sued foe $10,000.—
Some years ago Gazaway B. Lamar em
ployed Mr. Jasper K. Herbert, a New
York lawyer, to sue the Government for
nearly a million dollars’ worth of cotton
that had been taken from him. The
action was brought against the Govern
ment agents in Boston, and when the
case was called for trial B. F. Butler was
employed. Tho case was on a week, and
the verdict was formally for the defend
ants, subject to a review by the Supreme
Court of the United States, where it now
i3 set down for argument. In another
suit, the Court of Claims gave Lamar
$37!),000, from which tho Government
appealed. Lamar employed Herbert, and
Herbert employed Bntler, to get the ap
peal dismissed. Lamar agreed to give
Herbert $20,000 to manage tho case. But
ler got it dismissed, and, it is charged,
retained all of the fee, and $5,000 for
the former case. Herbert asked for ten
thousaed dollars, one half of the fee, for
his share. Butler did not give it to him,
and he instituted a suit in the Supremo
Court of Kings county. For some time
ho has tried to catch Butler in tho city to
serve the papers on him. The General
was at tho reunion of the Army of tho
James on Wednesday, and a messenger
served the papers on him on the stage of
the Union League Theatre. The com
plaint nsks for full judgment in the sum
of ten thousand dollars.

A LIVELY CAMPAIGN FOR SMITH.
John B. Gordon on tlae Stump.
[Special Telegram to the Morning News.]
Quitman, October 27.
An immense mass meeting of the De
mocracy of Brooks county was held here
to-day. Powerful and telling speeches
were delivered by Captain W. E. Smith,
the candidate for Congress in the Second
District, Judge D. A. Vasou, and General
John B. Gordon, to an appreciative au
dience of from two to three thousand
persons. During the delivery of General
Gordon’s speech, a large number of col
ored men manifested their approval of
his views, and enthusiastically pledged
themselves to vote for Smith in the ap
proaching election.
A great many of Gordon’s old soldiers
crowded to great their beloved commander
Vason and Gordon are doing good ser
vice in the Second District, and the ut
most confidence is entertained in the
election of our candidate.
Everything passed off in the most
agreeable manner, and the speakers all
left on the evening train for Valdosta,
where they will address the people of
Lowndes to-morrow.

Ballot Box Stuffing the Oedee of
the Dax.—It really seems that the Radi
cal party are striving to bring our elective
system into utter contempt, and thus to
prepare the public mind for the final
surrender of even the forms of republi
can government. Not satisfied with de
grading the suffrage till at best it can no
longer be regarded as a means of obtain
ing an expression of the intelligent will
of the people, the most high-handed and
Outrageous frauds are being perpetrated.
In New Orleans some four thousand white
naturalized citizens are threatened with
disfranchisement on a mere technicality—
in Fhiladelphia some five thousand fraud
ulent registers have been detected, and
now a similar fraud is exposed in St.
Louis. The Republican of Thursday last
says: “We shall be prepared in the course
of a few days to show up the most gigan
tic system of registry frauds ever perpe
trated west of Philadelphia. In the sixth
ward of this city gangs of ten, and some
times more, have registered under as
sumed names from various localities.”
The Republican gives warning to the per
petrators of these frauds, in which it
intimates that both parties are involved,
and declares that it will do all in its
power to protect the parity of the ballot
box, oven if the entire voto of the wards
in which the frauds have been perpetrated
be thrown out.

The Land of Steady Habits and
Moeal Ideas.—Maine has a “Moino law
for the prevention of drunkenness. T’ne
law prohibits the sale of liquor abso
lutely, and it has been in operation in
the State where it originated about
twenty-three years. The results of this
protracted test are interesting. Portland,
the chief city in tho State, has grown in
population 50 per cent, since the law
went into operation, and the number of
plaees where the prohibited liquor is sold
has increased 200 per cent. Bangor has
a population of 15,000, and 300 places
where liquor is sold—being one saloon to
every 50 inhabitants—an uncommonly
liberal allowance for a people who do not
allow themselves to drink.
Massachusetts is anotherState where the
Maine, law exists, and where tho sale of
liquor is theoretically prohibited. Its ef
fects there are scarcely less striking than
in Maine. Th^ number of arrests for
drunkenness in Boston has increased from
G,780 in 185G to 18,670 in 1S70. The ar
rests for drunkenness in that city average
1 to every 1G inhabitants, while in New
York, where there is no prohibitory law,
they average 1 in 27, and in St. Louis 1
in 42. From which it is plain that pro
hibition does not prohibit.
Radical Rascality in Philadelphia.
Accustomed to the knavery perpetrated
by the- Radicals at every election, the
Democrats have been sharp on 1 the Watch
this time, and their vigilance has been
rewarded by the discovery and.exposure
of the most astounding registry frauds in
time to prevent their consummation in
the November election. The discoveries
already made include four thousand to
ffiye thousand fictitious names, almost
wholly registered in the interest of the
Radical Ring. No honest man can vote
for atickel which employs such means
for support, aud, although tho press of
that city may hesitate to do its duty from
fear of the oppressive libel law, and jus-
chiefs in this nefarious business, the ex
posure cannot fail to be of great effect.
Cheap Meals in New Yoke.—The
YouDg Men’s Christian Association in
New York have a department for the
furnishing of cheap meals, at which

sold at

twelve thousand of these tickets were
last winter.
In Barnwell District, Sonth Carolina,
Ciesar (Jive, a negro supporter of the
administration, who occnpied tho office
of County Commissioner, was convicted
last May of misappropriation of tho pub

imprisonment in the penitentiary. He
served ten days of his term, when he was
pardoned by Governor Moses, and the
intelligent Republicans in his district
have just renominated him as a candidate
for Ids old office. Of course the same
convention which gave Cave his renomi
nation was unanimous for Chamberlain

The Taeiff to be Again Tinkebed.
The Washington Star of the 22d says:
Several members of the Committee on
Ways and Means decided that they, would
devote a portion of this fall to a con
sideration of the tariff, with a view to
attempting to prepare some plan for a
general revision and certification next
winter. Mr. Dawes has already begun
his part of the work, and has written to
the Secretary of the Treasury asking far
information as to the articles which may
be placed upon the free list without dam
age to tho revenue. A reply is now in
coarse of preparation. The custom of
ficers, without committing themselves as
to the advisability of any change in the
tariff, state that one hundred to one hnn-
Alleged Thick by the Navy Depabt-
ment.—The Boston Advertiser, in notic
ing the launch of the Vandalia, at Charles
ton, says:
In tho “repairing” of the Yandalia,
not only has she been recreated, but evi
dently inflated, for where the old vessel
was of 1,840 tons’ displacement, she is
now of 2,100 tons. The taking of a rib of
Adam and the making of an Eve out of it
is surpassed, for they have taken a rib or
something from the old Yandalia and
mode a new Vandalia out of it. And now
| there are two of them. The way of it is
this: Congress wouldn’t allow tbe Navy
Department to build as many new sloops-
of-war os were wanted, and so the Navy
Department managed to get a very large
appropriation for repairs—enough to
build several brand-new vessels. So some
of the rottenest old hulks in the navy
were taken to the various navy yards, and
some insignificant part of each of them—
a spike, plank or rib—was taken, aud a
new vesselbuilt on to it. That is the way
the Vandalia has been “repaired,” mak
ing a new vessel, entirely different in
shape, size and material. They are “ re
pairing ” the Galena in the same way at
the -Norfolk yard, the Marion at the Ports
mouth yard, and several other vessels at
other yards.
iYN, N. Y.—
ursday morning,
arles Shaw aud sev-
politicians, who had
night carouse, provided
bricks and made a raid
upon a barber shop kept by Melchesedens
Dombraggio. They proceeded .to demol
ish-the mirrors, furniture and fill' the
apparatus of the establishment, making
complete wreck of the establishment in
few minutes. The proprietor with his
assistant, Antonio Pimenti, made an at
tempt to protect the property and them
selves. Dombraggio seized a pair of
shears as a weapon, but before he -could
use them Crocker struck him upon the
head with a brick, catting a terrible gash.
The barber then closed with his assailant
and drove the shears up to the handle in
his abdomen, causing the entrals to pro
trude. In the meantime Pimenti was
engaged with Shaw, having armed him
self with a sabre. In one of the passes
he made at Shaw he ent the' nose of the
latter nearly off, and also ent him on
the shoulder. Pimenti received several
wounds. The other companions
Crocker made their escape. The noise of
the encounter attracted a number of citi
zens and the police, who interfered and
prevented further bloodshed. Crocker’s
wounds are of a fatal character.
