CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas, July ~, 1894
On the lllh inst, Captain Van Buren, and
twelve men OF The mounted rifles, overlook
party Of twenty-five CamancEe Indians and
whipped them handsomely. Captain King
and a party of infantry mounted on mules

when the mules gave out. Fortunately,
about this time he met Captain Van Buren,
put him on the trial. He followed it up for
six days and travelled over 500 miles, when
he overlook the Indians. To avoid pursuit
they crossed the Nueces three times, and al.
so large lake. Capt. Van Buren, swan his
horses 400 yards across this lake and struck
the trail on the opposite side. The two par
ties discovered each other as the Indians
were turning hill and when the Captain

everything oil their horses except the brides,
and pat them IN pile. The Indians opened
the fight with arrows, and when they suppos-
ed they had drawn the fire of the Captains
party, changed it, The Captain Immediately
ordered his men dismount and take their ri.
iies-belore this they had used only their re.
yolyers without much affect. When some
five or six Indians had been knocked oil their
horses, they broke, aud the Captain charged

u PRESENTATION OF CANE TO Col.
STRAuB.-Some of the personal friends Of
Col. Straub, at Washington city, some days
since presented him with hickory cane,
mounted with California gold. The cane
was cut in Nebraska, and was presented
through Col. Carter, of Lycoming. The
following is the reply of Col. Straub
Col CARTER-Sir acknowledge with
deep sensibility the substantial mark of re-.
spect presented by my Pennsy ylvanian friends
through you, their representative. II is an
evidence Of their kindness and generosity TO
an humble individual, who thinks he does
not merit it ; and, permit me TO add, that il
is as unexpected as it is undeserved. Your
reference to my attachment 10 The great
principle OF sellgovernment, aud which is the
vital ptincipel of the Nebraska bill, is correct.
Should ever this principle fail 10 be recogni-
zed by the people Of these States (which God
forbid y there will be an end 10 The Union.
In regard TO the abuse of the abolition press,
referred TO by you, Colonel, it has no, distur
bed the equanimity Of my temper in the
slightest degree nor can The open or anony-
nous attacks, with which have been hon.
ored, force me TO yield that notice which
their authors seem so ardenly to desire.-
Time and the good sense Of free people
viii consign "o the tomb OF the Capnleis"
The men who would "bnrn down the Capitol, :"
aud set their own blasphemous interpretations
OF 'higher law" above the laws of the
land. accept the cane, and will ever look
upon II as most valued oift--as n memento
OF friends whose names will be cherished
names as long as memory lasts. In conc'u-
sion permit me 10 say. that TO support all the
States III their just and equal rights is 10 sup
port the Constitution; bui, TO refuse TO do so,
is violation OF that sacred instrument "
Al the conclusion Of the presentation, the
company repaired to bouutlnIly supplied
table, on which figured, with patriotic con-
splcuousness, Berks county ham, and some
OF the native element of the Mononeahe'a
region.
The inscription on the cane is as follows

Our readers will find in our columns,
this week the ticket agreed upon at the
Democratic Convention held at this place
on Monday last. For Congress Major
Dewart had The field to himself or at most
but lew votes in opposition. This was
also the case with Jesse G. Horton the cam
didate for the Senate. The result for Con-
gress will now depend upon Schuylkill.-
Who will be the choice Of that county we
are unable TO say. Daupbin county, which
forms part OF this Senatorial district, will,
no doubt, concede the member to this
county, and Mr.. Horton will unquesion-
ably be the candidate.
James Beard our present popular Pro-
thonatary has been nominated for re-eec-
tion by large majority, notwithstanding a
severe opposition.
Henry Reader has received the nomina-
ton for Sheriff. He is well known 10 the
people of this county as one of our former
Sheril1s, and a most popular officer. He
will be generally well supported, and, no
doubt elected.
For County Commissioner, the selection
has fallen on Elias Brosious. MIR. Bro
sious is an industrious and honest mechanic,
who will no doubt make an excellent off.
Ger. For Auditor, John Youngman, Esq,
has been selected. As Mr.. foungman is
brother editor he needs from the press no
other endorsement. Editors are generally
qualified, or should be, for any office.
We have said nothing about the nominee
for Assembly, and lest our readers might
