HORRIBLE AFFAIR.
,Secen White Men Burned 6g Itz27afa,

Secen White Men Burned 6y It12aaas.
| correspondent of the Sacramento Union, writ
ing from Virginia city, confirms the recent tidings
of seven white men having been burned to death
by Indians in the Washoe regions 1t appears
that these victims formed party of Norman Fl
! Garfield, of Butte County, which was out prospect
ing when the war between the whites and Indians
at Williams Ranch broke out, and were not heard
of afterwards. The correspondent thus tells the
story:
Among the volunteers in the late Indian expe-
dition under Col. Hays, were two very intimate
friends of Mr Garfield, who used every effort to
| ascertain the fate of his party, but, though the
form and features Of all the discovered dead were
very carefully scrutinized, none were recognized
as bearing resemblance to him or his known com
panions. few days after the volunteers were
Withdrawn from Pyramid Lake, the regulars being
then stationed there, some Of the latter discovered
among the cotton woods, below where the Indian
village had stood, and near the place where the
Sruckee emptes into the lake, tied to as many
trees, the bodies, or charred remains, of seven
men who had been burned to death Two or
three had been fastened to the trees with log
chains, and the flesh had been entirely burned
from them; the others had been tied with raw
hides; and the upper portions of their bodies bore
traces of Identification, particularly that of Can
field who was robust and powerful man, remark
able IN form and feature. His lower limbs and
lower part of his frame had been consumed, with
the evident design to protract susceptibility to
pain, till the bones charred; but the upper
part of the chest, the arms, and shoulders, and
the head were entire-eVen the grim military
whiskers worn by the victim were unsinged. Fur
ther description and detail have also been furnish
ed, but the revolving hdeousness of the picture
forbids elaboration. Suffice it, that the evidence
leaves to the friends of Mr. Garfield and his COM
panions no possibility of doubt to his identity,
and the horrible process of his and their deaths.
The remains of the victims of this terrible deed
were all carefully inferred in one grave, beneath a
large cottonwood tree, near the spot on which they
died, by the soldiers under Captain Stewart
Whether they made the bloody offering to
the demon of war, on the formal preparation of the
Pah- -Utahs to attack the whites, or were doomed
to avenge the slain of the tribe who subsequently
fell in the battle, will most probably forever re-
main mystery. They died-died the most terri
BILE of all deaths which it is possible for the imag
nation to conceive Garfield was from Cam
bridge, Washington County, New York, where his
family resided when he came to California in 1910
He was about 80 years Of age at the time of his
death.

KIDNAPPER ARRESTED.

Mr. James Franklin, blind man, and resident
| OF Columbia, S. c., was arrested in this city yes
terday having been detected in endeavoring to
sell free negro into bondage. 1t appears that
Franklin, about week ago, went to Charlotte, N.
G., where he made it known that he wished to
hire free negro to 90 with him and take care of
him on a trip to the Virginia Springs. Harmon
Proctor, free negro, was recommended, and ac-
cepted the position. Franklin, having made his
arrangements, went from Charlotte to RiehmOnd,
Va, when he changed his destination, and short
ly after left for Greenvlle, Tennessee, where he
has brother living. After remaining there
few days, Franklin went to Louisville, and thence
to Cincinnati, where he chanced to meet free
negro named A. w. Thompson, whom he engaged
to accompany him to New Orleans at which point
it was understood he intended to send Proctor
home, taking Thompson for his body servant. In
getting far Vicksburg, however, Thompson
(who is very bright mulatto and fellow of much
shrewdness) learned of the disabilities imposed on
free negroes by the laws of Louisiana, and prevail
ed upon Mr. Franklin to return, which he did on
the Edward J. Gay, which reached here yes
terday afternoon. While the Gay was discharging
freight, Thompson prevailed upon Franklin to stop
in Memphis for day or two, and shortly after
they made an attempt to sell Harmon Proctor as
slave. Proctor discovered what they were
about after they had got him to the slave-deaer's
mart, and showed to the proposed purchaser the
evidence Of his freedom, which being shown to Mr.
Franklin, he Immediately tore up and destroyed
IN the presence of the save-dealer. These facts
coming to the knowledge of the officers, the kid
nappers, James Franklin (white) and A. w. Thomp-
son, (colored were lodged in Jail to await trial.
well also the negro whom they attempted TO sell
James Franklin is said to be man of means
living in Columbia, S. G., and little fast in mis-
expenditures for a blind man. 1t is supposed that
the willy Cincinnati free negro first conceived the
idea ofseling Harmon Proctor into slavery and then
inveged Franklin into it. Fortunately they are
all in Jail, and the guilty party will be made to
suffer the full penalty of the law.-Ncmphis En-
quirer.

SIMPLICITY OF DREss.-Prentice Of the Louis,
vile Journal, speaks thus to his readers:
"Those who think that, in order to dress well
it is necessary to dress extravagantly and gaudly
make great mistake. Nothing so well becomes
true feminine beauty as simplicity We have
seen many remarkably fine person robbed of its
fine effects by being overdressed Nothing IS
more unbecoming than overloaded beauty. The
simplicity Of the classic taste is in the old
statues and pictures, painted by men of superior
artistic genius. In Athens the ladies were not
gaudiy, but simply arrayed, and We doubt wheth
er any ladies excited more admiration. So also the
noble old Roman matrons, whose superb forms
worthy of chem, were always very plainly
dressed. Fashion often presents the lines of the
butterfly, but fashion is not classic goddess. ..
CENSUS OF 1860.-The population of Raleigh
just enumerated and returned by deputy Marshal
Scarborough, is 3,24O whites and free persons of
color, and ,G23 slaves-making in all 1868. The
total population in 1850 was 4,5l8 showing a
tension of the limits of the city. In 1850 the
white and free colorNd population 2,709, and
that of slaves 1909, There has, therefore, been
gain of 53l white and free colored population,
and loss Of 1876 slave population.
We think it probable, from what we have learn
ed, that the total population Of the State will foot
up about 600, 600. Nearly all the counties will
show considerable increase Of population Wake
county will reach about 10000, showing an in
crease of 5000; while Lenoir, Warren, Hender-
son and many other counties will show large in
crease over 1S50-RuL Standard

AN EXAMPLE WORTHY OF IMITATTON.-An
example to other families falling heirs to large
estates has recently occurred in Connecticut. By
the death of Mr. Thomas his six children came in
possession of property valued at from 100000 to
S600,0 900 There was no will, and the estate de-
scended in the legal manner TO the children equal
ly They consulted no lawyer, began no scramble;
but mutually agreed upon two judicouS men, and
employed them to divide the property into por-
tions as nearly equal in value as could be This
done, the portions were put at auction among
them, each buying portion, and the portions
were again equally divided In this way the law
yers got no fees, the community no scandal, the
peace of the family circle was preserved, and an
end arrived at which gratifes every pure sentiment
ANOTHER APPALLING CALAMITY.-At Pitts
burg one of the most appalling calamties that ever
occurred took place the z4th. The boiler IN the
marble works of w w. Wallace exploded, killing
several men aud wounding number of Others
The boiler passed throug the building, reduc-
ing the back part of it to heap Of ruins. 1t then
struck the front part of clothing store, in Lber
ty-street. killing the proprietor, who was standing
at the door His head was taken nearly off, The
boiler then passed through the rear wall of Bur-
ker's. and into Swarts' lager-bier hall, which ID
nearly demolished. A man who was in the saloon
was killed The boiler finally landed in the Pres
byterian graveyard, at the back Of the lager-bier
hall, having passed through four walls.
The number of men engaged in the marble works
was 100. 1t is supposed that from ten to twelve
are killed, t

II But few occasions occur where
the Acknowledgements Of having COM
mitted an error becomes plsasing task
to those who, in justice to all Concerned,
may feel it duty to render such
acknowledgment. Such is the present
case.
We rspublish to-day, in corrected
form, the proceedings Of our City Coun-
Gil, had at meeting held on the 18th
instant, mainly on account of the omis-
sion, on our part, of the following
paragraph:
"A letter was read from Mr.. c. G..
F" Forshey asking. q liberal settlement
"of his claim resulting from the making
"of a new Levee in 1853. On motion,
''it was referred to the Streets and
Landings Committee"
The above paragraph was accidentally
omitted by the printer, for which omis-
sion a measure Of the displeasure Of the
Council and of other parties fell upon
the Secretary; when in fact, the fault
rested with the printer. We submit this
acknowledgment in justice to the Secre-
tary and for the satisfaction of all
concerned.
In the present republication of the
proceedings of the 18th instant, how
ever, the following paragraph, which
appeared as part of the official records
of that date, we have been directed to
omit, on the ground that it was incorrect,
and could not appear as a part of the
records of the city. The paragraph
noa0 omitted in the proceedings, was in
the language following:
Previous to the adoption of the
foregoing resolution, Mr.. Porter, the
Comptroller, with permission, notified
1.-THE Council verbally, that no would
"submit to no such examination of his
"books and Vouchers
The above appears to have been
added through error by the Secretary
and CSmptroller, as part of the official
record.
We hope our apology for errors,
omissions, etc., may give satisfaction
to all, and that the official record will in
future appear correct. The proceedings
of the 18th and 18th instant, will be
found elsewhere in our paper of this
day.

Terrible HailStorm or Savannah
Rseer.-Destractiom Of the Rice Crop
A correspondent writes to the Savannah
Republican, announcing most des-
tructive hailstorm that passed through
several of the rice plantations on the
Savannah river on the 9th inst, sweep
ing nearly everything before it. He
says:
There can be no correct estimate of
the loss, but it is supposed not less than
one-half of all the rice the hail passed
through is destroyed, and some fields
won't make more than third of a
crop 1t entirely destroyed all vegeta-
bles on one plantation. The hail could
have been raked up by basketsfull after
the storm was over. One of Mr.. Hey
wards negro men was caught in it and
yearly stoned to death before he could
get out of it.
