Bah Antonio (Texas) Expreee, 25th
ult.: Yesterday morning brought start
ling reports concerning an Indian raid on
the Hondo Valley country. Indians to
the number of about forty raided Quthi,
New Fountain and Uvalde counties, mak
ing thair appearance Sunday, and com-
manoed oapturing all the horses they
eonld find. Two companies of troops
and oitizena in equads from Frio, Quihi,
New Fountain and Uvalde are in pursuit,
and it is thought the raiders will be cap
tured. There were many reports on the
streets laat evening that a running fight
had been engaged in between the Indians
and their pursuers, between Brandera
and tha Hondo. Captain Kingsbcrry got
a dispatch that one of his herds had been
attacked, and that in a fight with the In
dians eight men had been killed.

Joey B. issly, devilish sly. If he does
not desire a United States Benatorship,
why ia ha endeavoring to break down
Gordon? Who besides himaetf ia the
tied out horse ?
The Electoral Commission had passed
as a Democratic measure. Tha members
met The decisions were against Tildes.
When Florida-and Loniaiana were derid
ed for Hayes all ohances for Tildeu were
gone. The ohoioe was between Hayes or
aomeworae Radical who would be elected
Preaident of the Senate. Hayes was far pre
ferable to Morton. That Tilden oould
be flllibustered in at that stage of the
game was an impossibility, and John
Young Brown, Levy of Louisiana, and
othara, with Gordon present, and advised
by Lamar, endeavored to secure pledges
from Hayea that troops would be removed
from Louisiana and Booth Carolina and
succeeded. Now Joey B. has the sheek
to oharge John Young Brown and Gor
don with selling out Tilden. The trick
ia too transparent We say they did
right and the South applauds their aotion,
and Hampton and South Carolina has
publioly thanked Gordon. Joey B. is
very sly, but he must try some other
tack to secure poeition.
Ex-Governor Brown is oredited with
having a very long head by those who
have borrowed his money. He was among
the very strongest secessionists, and seised
United States property before the State
of which he was Chief Executive had
passed the ordinance of secession. If he
had suoh clear foresight why did he not
propbeoy the result as Btephens did ? On
the contrary he precipitated the oonfliot.
A short time elapses and we find him,
more than any other man in the entire
Confederacy, demoralizing the Georgia
troops in the Southern armies, and thus
aiding the enemy. Ask any of the Georgia
troops if this is not so. The revolution
doses, and he is the only Georgia lawyer
to proeeoute Georgia young men before a
military oourt for United States gold. He
bad the choosing of standing true by the
side of the South or joining her oppres
sors. He joined the latter. With his aid
the State oould have been quioker restored
lo home rule. Between Gordon, a
Oemooratio candidate, and Bullock, a
oerpet bagger, he supported the latter.
He waa ohosen Supreme Oourt Judge
by carpet-baggers, bnt thank heaven,
while running as their candidate for U.
S. Senator, the Democrats had strength
and iniluenoe to beat him. He acted
with the Badioals throughout and it was
a matter of enrpriae to all when it was an
nounced he would support Tilden. Now
he gives seemingly plausible reasons for
bis course, but they were not heard of
until laat year. Now this newly convert
ed Democrat is oharging our purest and
best men with bargain and sale. The
people do not forget thus early. Where
is the remarkablo foresight of the ex Gov<
ernor ? He has made money during and
sinoe tha war. Thousands have done the
eame. He was once a delegate to a Re
publican National Convention. This ia
oonsistent Demooraoy in his eyes. Had
he not better oheok to some extent, his
new boro zeal. He must grow in graoe
before be can be trusted.
MODE or NOMINATION.
This oounty will give a very large ma
jority for the Convention. There are
many aspirants—numbers of moat ex
oellent gentlemen, who will reflect honor
upon the oounty. We all know the utter
hnmbuggery in thia oentury of saying an
offloe seeks tha man. We do not believe
it has ever happened that an office was
obtained whioh a man did not seek. We
want the very ablest men and those that
the people desire. Would it not then be
beat for MuBeogee to have a primary elec
tion governed by the same rules as others,
and especially enforcing that requiring
the prior payment of poll taxes, end thus
ascertain whom the people prefer ? This
would be equivalent to an eleotion and
ooma nearer affording satisfaotion
than any other oourse. We will never submit
again to a distriot convention where the
city which polls three-fourths of the votes
and pays seven-eights of the taxes aa is
the case according to the present plan.
Wa believe the primary nomination would
have less objection than any method that
oould be devised. If there is objection,
we will give publication to short articles,
both pro and eon. We still hold open
our oolumnsto brief communications both
for and against the Convention. We desire
them oondenaed because long documents
are not sought after or read by tha me (or*
ity of subscribers.
THE ABOLITION OF THE RATE
• ENATE.
Many writers on the Convention ques
tion are unanimously in favor of abolish'
tog the Btate Senate on the ground that
it is a useless, expensive body, represent'
ing no one and no principle. The districts
are arranged neither according to taxable
property nor population. In some dis
tricts there is one Senator to every 10,000
inhabitants, and in others one to 48,000.
Suoh unequal representation ia a nullity
of the eardinal idea of republicanism
The opponents of the Seuate ask why
eannot there be a cheek in one body aa
well as in two. This is the plan of Hon.
Warren Aiken :
“Abolish the 8enate and then divide
the Btate into fifty legislative districts ac
cording to population, and give to eaoh
district two legislators. Let the districts
be composed of contiguous oounties, each
diatriot having the eame number of peo
ple aa near aa praotioable. If one oounty
has tha requisite population, make one
oounty a district. If It requires two,
three or live, have it arranged according
ly. Lot the controlling idea bo to have
the people equally repreeented in the Leg-
ielatvre. By this plan there will be but one
hundred legielatore. They will generally
be elected from a larger territory and will
be more efficient, and better men than we
now have. The pay will not make the
position very desirable, and men will be
selected for thair worth and not for thair
auctioneering capacity and thair power
and willingness to distribute moan whis
key.
“Look at tha saving to tha people from
thia plan. Wa bow have 218 memben in
the Legislature. The plan proposed will
out off 119 of thorn. These, at savan dot-
lets a day, cost the people for every day
the Legislature to in session $838, and
for forty days the snm of $38,320. And
then tha expanse of tha officeca of the
Benato will be saved, whioh was lost year
$11,625 70. It will also dispense with
at toast two-thirds of the darks of the
House.”
Ha proposes to give “local legislation”
to tha Superior Courts, and relieve tha
Legislature of it altogether. He does not
propose to disturb the oounties, but to let
them remain as they are. The plan looks
favorable.
General Toombs and other strong
minds are in favor of having no Senate in
Georgia.
Extba Szosion or CoNonxsa.—The time
for tba assembling of the extra session of
Congress to postponed to Ootober 15th.
This will impose great hardfhips on many
brave men, who have families to support.
Owing to the knavery of the late Secre
tary Robeson, the appropriation for the
navy was exhausted by bad management,
and the payment of funds to those not
entitled thereto. Millions went to his pet
contractors. Navd offloe re have already
due them over $800,000. Then the De
partment of Justioe showa a deftoienoy of
half a million, caused by the employment
of thousands of deputy marshals by Father
Taft, whose only duty was to intimidate
Democratic voters. Other reasons are
given, but wa doubt whether the true
motive will aver be made known from the
White House. Hayes has ascertained that
if ha adls Congress in Juoe a Demo
cratic Speaker to oertain to bL elected,
hence he delays, hoping to effect his end
—oapture the House—elect a Republican
Speaker—and say triumphantly to his
party, “see what my policy has accom
plished.” This ulterior aim is a mnoh
better cause for the delay than those as
signed in the telegrams. The whole ob
ject Is to defeet Demooraoy in the House
and win tha Speakership. He trusts by
delay and continuing Democratic policy
to divide tbs great Demooratio organi
zation into cliques and factions that a
Republican may slip into the coveted
plaoe.
Nzonoxs in Tan Ihsani Asn.ua. — A
paragraph is going the rounds that insan
ity, onoa unknown among the negroes,
haa become a great and increasing sffeo-
tion, and to relieve it, Virginia has estab
lished an asylum for them—said to be
the only one in the world—where more
than 800 of them are oared for.
The first portion of the statement is cor
rect. Those raised In the 'South before
and through the war, never saw a crazy
negro. Now they are more common than
whites. It is a mistake, however, that
Virginia has the only asylum where they
are received. Hundreds have been in
mates of the Georgia Institution at Mill-
edgeville for a number of years, sinoe the
war and the number now, we think, to in
the neighborhood of 200. Their numbers
h%ve largely increased from nothing in
1865, to the present large proportion and
the disease to still prevailing. Many of
them are very and eases, bnt it is said
moat era idiots or forms of mental abera
tion caused by want, filth and self-abase
ment.
Impotent Misobixe.— The Now York
Expreee speaks of an atrocious combina
tion of avarioe, sectionalism and dema-
goguism whioh is going on in tbat oity to
lira the hearts of colored preachers in the
South by sending among them inoendiary
papers, filled to the muzzle with attaoka
upon the Bouthem white people and upon
the national peace policy of the President.
A characteristic feature of thia combina
tion is that what is done is done in the
name of religion. It ia said there are five
thousand oolored preachers at the Booth,
and subscriptions are oalled for to send
copies of the Witneee, owned and edited
by unnaturalized oitizena, to this army of
oolored preachers, the obvious purpose
being to add fuel to the long existing po
litioal race differences at the South. The
purpose to a detestable one, and the mom
ey getting part of it worthy the Freed-
men’s Bureau end the oorrupt carpet
baggers from whom both races at the
South have suffered so terribly.

■start te Applications far
Tns remarks attributed to Governor
Hendrieke by the reporter of a Ban Fran
cisco journal have exeited aome comment
in Washington. Although probably not
accurately reported, they sre aooepted by
some persons as an indication that a seri
ous effort to soon to be made to assert
Mr. Tilden’a title to the Presidential
offloe by legislative and judioial proceed
ings. That suoh proceedings have been
carefully considered, discussed, and to
aome extent arranged for, ia beyond
doubt; but the impression obtains that a
large number of Southern Demoorate will
diaoonrage any effort of the kind, and
that consequently nothing will come of
the proposed line of action. I donbt
very mnoh whether Gov. Hendricks would
favor it, so says the correspondent of the
Courier-Journal.
A saute Ohroniole sad CoasUtstlonallst}
Lamsino, Mich., April 24, 1877.
Hon. Benjamin H. HiU:
Mr Dzab Sib—I osnaot resist the im
pulse I feel to thank you most oordtolly
for your manly and patriotic letter to the
Georgia Chronicle, whioh I have just
reed. Though not the first time (for
there have been many daring the last two
or three months), it ia one of the dearest
end most emphatio manifestations of the
honest desire of prominent Bos them men
to disregard mere party names and parti-
sen objects for the permanent end com
mon good of the whole country. I hail
it as s most cheering evidenoe of s better
state of feeling among Southern men;
evidence that they appreciate the
fair, liberal and non-partisan
polioy of the new Administra
tion, and tbat they will deserve the gens
erous confidence it bw placed in them.
It is also evidenoe of the wisdom of that
policy towards the States and people of
the Booth, whioh is daily end rapidly
Commending itself, not only to the South
ern, bat to the Northern people—the
great mass of the Republicans, to say
nothing of the Demooraoy—having fully
determined to give it a fair trial, and
most of them believing—as I have tong
been Inclined to believe—tbat kindness
and magnanimity towards the people of
the South, snd a generous oonfldenos in
their good faith and patriotism will do
more to disarm opposition, to secure the
faithful administration of the laws, and
to proteot tha equal rights of oil, without
distinction of race or color, than can ever
be accomplished by foroe or threats of
foroe.
I have long been satisfied that all that
is neoessary to bring about oomplete re
conciliation and harmony between the
people of the North and South to that the
masses of both should fully understand
and appreciate eaoh other's feelings and
motives, making due allowance for the
differences of education,habits and modes
of thought, and peouliar institutions
under whioh they have grown up, whioh
time and friendly intercourse alone oan
unify and assimilate, bqt whioh in the
meantime, when properly appreciated,
constitute no just or adequate cause for
personal hostility or national discord.
This oomplete reconciliation, this re
storation of oonfidenea snd fraternal feel
ing is the one thing essential, above all
others, to the rwtorstion of national pros
perity, and to a safe and benefioent Rea
publican government. To bring about
snoh a result should be the primary objoct
of every patriot in both sections of the
Union. Compared with thie all merely
partisan interests and objects sink into
suoh utter insignifleanoe that I long
ago declared in the Senate that, upon
the merits of any measure bearing upon
the restoration of harmony and kindly
relations between the North and Booth,
I should disregard party ties and in
terests ; and, if I understand yonr
letter, you have oome substantially to the
same conclusion. You call yourself a
Demoorat, I oall myself a Republican; and
there may be minor qnestione of differ
ence between us,oovered (if not confused)
by these rather abstract designations.
Perhaps it might tax the intellect of either
of ns to define, with tolerable aoouraoy,
the various elements which go to consti
tute the one or the other; and we might
never be able to agree upon our definition.
But in the great snd primary objeot
whioh, judging from your letter, snd
other utterauees of yours, you as well as
I have st heart, sn object overshadowing
all others, we entirely agree,not only with
each other, but with the Administration
now in power.
Oan we not then, until thia great and
paramount objeot is fully attained, snd
the harmony and consequent prosperity
of the country established on a firm basis,
forego or adjourn the lass important
question of what constitutes a Demoorat,
and what a Repnblioan, with the minor
questions growing out of these rather
inetsphysioal entitles, and enter st onoe,
in solemn earnestness, upon the only con
test for whioh I have any present inclina
tion—whioh of ns shall do most to scours
the great objeot we both have st heart—
the oomplete reconciliation of ail seotiona
and all raoes of our common country.
Tba time ia opportune ; the temper of
the people in both sections to favorable,
and we have an Administration
ardently seeking the same re
sult by means and measures we
both approve. Let thg only contest be
tween us then, be, whioh shall contribute
most te the great result so essential to the
prosperity and permanent welfare of the
nation; which shall do most to hasten the
time when the recent fratrioidal war,
whioh shook the country to its founda
tions, shall be remembered only to make
us and our people the firmer and faster
friends. When thia grand result shall be
fully realized, if either or both of ns
should happen to die before the minor
question of what constitutes a Demoorat
or a Republioanjahall be finally and defi
nitely solved, perhaps the world might
still move on, and posterity oontrive to
exist, and to aome slight extent, even to
prosper, though this party quest'*? should
be left to be eolved by them, contempora
neously with the production of perpetual
motion and to the discovery of the North
Pole.
Your views upon the mode of exercis
ing patronage, and the trae provisos and
oourse of aotion of Senators in reference
to appointments, are so exactly my own
aa expressed in numerous letters to ap
plicants for appointments, that your let
ter and those I have written would seem
upon comparison, to have been written
by the same band.
I am, with great esteem,
your friend,
I. P. Chbisttanct.
Tux bast opinion in Washington to
that the Russian fleet will remain quiet
and safe in New York harbor. They
sought it aa to understood as a harbor of
refuge from tha float of Turkey, or tbat
of England in oaaa the latter power
should be drawn into tha oontest, and it
to believed they will ha allowed to re-
maia there, so long as they do not in-
a baas of operations,
in question before ha writes any more
falsehoods. For tha information of the
public I will quote the exact language of
both Senators Gordon and Lamar in refer
ence to the election of United Btatea
Senator, as written in the letters referred
to by the partiaan zealot, Mr- G. Under
date of Jan. 16, Senator Gordon saps:
“To be brief, let me say that if tnsur-
mouotable difficulties present themselves,
If yon have no special obligations upon
you to support any one else for the Besets,
I shall be glad to have you give your aid
to the Hon. Wm. Walter Phelps." Again
he slys in. reference to the same subject:
“These reflections are suggested, not so
much by my own high regard for Mr.
Phelpha' character as by tha extremely
uncertain condition of yonr political af
fairs in New Jersey.” Senator L. Q. O.
Lamar, in kis communication of Jan. 15,
acid: “In case it proves impossible to
eleot a Demoorat, and a compromise on a
Republican beoomes necessary, it would
be well for you to know in what estima
tion the Hon. Wm. Walter Phelps was
held by Demoorate ia Congress.”
Now, it the strictest partisan Democrat
oan find anything in these utteranoea for
whioh to condemn the honorable gentle
men whom Mr. 0. characterizes as having
reoeived “merited denunciation” from
prominent Demoorate to whom the letters
were shown, then I am proud to be a
sharer with them in receiving such de
nunciation, foe I thoroughly endorse every
official act ef both the Senators referred
to, as wall as every sentiment in their
letters written to me, snd about whioh
Mr. 0. finds so mnoh to complain.
As regards the eleotion of the United
States Senator referred to, I went into
canons and joint meeting determined to
eleot John R. MoPherson despite of all
opposition, and tha people of New Jersey
are rejoiced at the result of that determi
nation. Alsx. W. Habbis.

To the Editor of the Sun:
Bib—The person who signs the com
munication as to what ha terms “General
Gordon's moat improper interference in
the politieal affair, of onr neighboring
Btate, New Jersey,” states tha facts nndsr
whioh Senator Gordon presumed to ad
vise the eleotion of a Republican United
States Benator aa these :
The Legislature organised with bat one
Democrstio majority on joint ballot, and
the eleotion of a Democrstio Senator was
assured, unless some recreant oould be
found. Suoh representative Democrats
as the Hon. Athbel Green, John R. Mo
Pherson end others were presented, snd
urged, snd st such s time, Major Alexan
der Harris, s member of the lower Hones
from Hudson oounty, received from Sena
tor John B Gordon a latter urging him
to support Wm. Walter Phelps, a Repub
lican candidate for United Btatea Benator.
Thia latter was followed by one from the
Hon. L. Q. 0. Lams? advising the same
lotion.
