(LOTOS.
No recent event lias more painful!)
shocked this community than the
the death of Oen. James II. Clanton, of
Alabama, at the hands of a TeunehHct
Radical ruffian. Gen. Clanton was per-
ponally well known to many of our citi*
srens, ami all woro cognizant of hia gal
lantry in war,his cool bravery in all time*
of trial or danger, his unselfish patriotism
in public and his spotless honor in privah
life, his ever reliable devotion to hi*
friends and to the high principles that
guided him, and the manly straight-for
Jness tlmt won for him the confidence lMdrfcfc also addressed the mooting in olu.
id respect of nil who knew him. Not in
Alabama had *ucli a son, will his death
be keenly regretted and his base
nation execrat'd.

. The Ka Klu trials at Raleigh have
inspired certain ardent Kadic-ds with the
hope that the movement which has been
iiuMigucated in that Mtate of arresting
peremptorily and without warrant mea
charged with crimes against the Ka Klux
law will be extended to the attest of pro
minent citizens there, and iu other sec
tions of the Month, on the grout.d that
they fueter, encourage, and support the
alleged outrages. Tho thorough proscrip
tive feeling of absolute tyranny is by uo
means dead in the Radical party, and its
representatives will certainly insist upon
its exercise by the Government, it is
pleasant, however, to be able to record
the fact that the adherents to this view
arc in o very great minority and power
less. They may attempt this wiuter to
have Congress joiu them in a crusade
against loading men in the Southern
MtateH, but in thut respect they will
certainly fail. Notwithstanding what has
already transpired, it may bo doubted if
they will succeed in securing a “corporal s
guard” iu the Hons* of Representatives
to endorse farther proscription.
The greatest intermit is manifested in
official circles here to kuow whst will
trauspire at the Republican CJon von lion at
Worcester, Mass., on tho day after to
morrow. Thoro has boen no such uncer
tainty as to roNulta in advance of any of
the conventions which have ruel during
the present year. The interest attache*
us well to tho toue of the resolutions
which will be adopted as to the nomina
tion which will be made, and tho imme
diate results aud circnuislanco* attendant
thereto.
Although the Republican officials here
express no doubt whatever of their anc-
cess iu electing Gen. Noyes Governor of
Ohio, they arc still on the “anxious seat"
respecting tho Legislature. Bout well is
expected to tnuko tho groat speech of the
cuiupaigu for them, probably sotuo day

love my country; I mi**h to raise my chil
dren on it." “Fierro" suid—“WhileI live
I will not purt with this land, uor will my
children utter me: they will die on it.”—
And “Howlish Wampo” summed up the
whole case, for himself aud his brethren,
in the following really touching words:
“My father and mother, my brothers and
sisters, are buried iu this land; their
gruves arc here, and I am to gn.ird them.
This reservation is-not a large piece of
land, it is to us a mother, wo were raised
UjMin it. When yoa ask me to leave it,
you ask mo to go away and be lost; to
have do home. I do not wont to part
with my land*.”
These sentiments must sound oddly in
the cars of those who profess to tielieve
the red man capable only of savagery.
Much more remarkable, however, was a
feiture iu the same chief’s complaint re
specting tho disregard* d promises which
w rc made when the Indians were placed
on the reservation. “When we came on
it,” ho said, “the three chiefs were to
have good houses, Hitch as white men
lived iu ; we were to have a good white
doctor, a blacksmith, a school teacher
to teach our childreu and a muu to teuch
us religion. * * * I want £uu white
chiefs to know that of all those things
that were promised us we cannot Roe any.’*
The sound of a heathen red man's voice
calling for a teacher of religion is ouo
which demands attention oven from tho
secular journals. Will tho Christian
churches bear it. ?

A Paris telegram states that Marshal Mc
Mahon ia reported to have declared, be
fore the committee on the late war, that
he assumed the sole responsibility for the
disastrous results of his inarch from Chal
ons to Medan; that he did not act by order
of Napoleon. The Marshal’s plan was
opposed to any concentration of the army
at Pane. The delay occasioned by the
fatigue of the troops was the principal
cause of the disaster. This declaration
has prodnoed a sensation. The Bonapait-
ist journals are rejoiced at it.
